Doolittle by Pixies

I just couldn’t get into it.

Time Out by The Dave Brubeck Quartet

Good background music jazz

1-Star Albums (4)

All Ratings (228)

Led Zeppelin II by Led Zeppelin
Dec 12 2025

My friend’s favorite Zep album. Starts with Whole Lotta Love, straight slaps. Moby Dick is so good.

Channel Orange by Frank Ocean
Dec 16 2025

Frank Ocean will never not put out top tier albums.

Dec 17 2025

You can feel this man’s energy as soon as he hits the stage. Gives me the chills with how much soul he puts into his singing. Bops top to bottom.

Dummy by Portishead
Dec 19 2025

Not exactly my type of music but the production on it is great. A quality made album.

Dirt by Alice In Chains
Dec 20 2025
Blonde On Blonde by Bob Dylan
Dec 21 2025

Bob Dylan doin Bob Dylan things. It’s got a certain, as the French would say, I don’t what.

Heroes by David Bowie
Dec 22 2025

Can David Bowie sing? Yes Is this album produced well? Yes Is this album experimental ah? Yes

Dec 23 2025

Always made fun of my mom for listening to Wilco. Now I listen to Wilco. Oh how the mighty have fallen.

Ill Communication by Beastie Boys
Dec 25 2025

I already know this is a top tier album, always happy to listen to da bois

Repeater by Fugazi
Dec 28 2025

Honestly solid album, just sonically not for me. Powerful guitar and vocals.

Dec 29 2025

Bop and a half. Never heard of this group before but they’re added to the rotation.

Bitches Brew by Miles Davis
Dec 30 2025

Good background music but not something I’d put on to intentionally listen to it.

Hail To the Thief by Radiohead
Jan 01 2026

Not terrible but nothing really stuck out to me.

Time Out by The Dave Brubeck Quartet
Jan 03 2026

Good background music jazz

New Forms by Roni Size
Jan 04 2026

Sounds like most 90s/00s DnB and Jungle. Not terrible but nothing standout. Would make a great soundtrack for a PS2 game.

Fear Of Music by Talking Heads
Jan 06 2026

Songs were hit or miss, fairly middle of the road album for me.

Low-Life by New Order
Jan 07 2026

Overall very good, only a few songs where the instrumentation just didn’t sit right with me. But definitely will listen to again.

Born In The U.S.A. by Bruce Springsteen
Jan 09 2026

I’ve never really been a big Bruce fan and this album did not change my mind. Plus some of the lyrics are a little sketch.

Music in Exile by Songhoy Blues
Jan 10 2026

I don’t know what the fuck is going on but these boys are spittin. Very good musicality on this album.

Jan 11 2026

I didn’t want to like it because I think the Beatles are so absurdly overrated but I can’t deny that this is a genuinely good album. Good songs and fun music throughout.

I Should Coco by Supergrass
Jan 12 2026

Not bad, not great. Not for me.

Imagine by John Lennon
Jan 13 2026

I don’t think John has the right vocal sound for the blues songs. Other songs are fine.

The Downward Spiral by Nine Inch Nails
Jan 14 2026

I don’t know if Trent was the first to do it but he’s one of the best to.

Giant Steps by The Boo Radleys
Jan 15 2026

Not my favorite listen. Some songs were okay but for me just a little to noisy and chaotic throughout.

The Real Thing by Faith No More
Jan 16 2026

Bangs but then falls off in the latter half of the album.

3 + 3 by The Isley Brothers
Jan 17 2026

Grooves af

Freak Out! by The Mothers Of Invention
Jan 18 2026

Frank Zappa as a person, 5/5. This Frank Zappa album, 3/5.

1989 by Taylor Swift
Jan 19 2026

Somehow there are songs on this album that I have managed to have not heard before. It’s what you would expect from a Taylor album. High quality production, mid lyrical content, pop music. Very few songs I would intentionally listen to, a couple more songs I wouldn’t skip if they came on. It’s tough to rate this one, personally I don’t like pop music but objectively it’s a well made album.

Lady In Satin by Billie Holiday
Jan 21 2026

Beautiful music with soul touching vocs

Jan 22 2026

These guys are legally allowed to make a three track album of absolute bangers.

...And Justice For All by Metallica
Jan 23 2026

Hits just the same as when I found this album in the basement as a child.

Ready To Die by The Notorious B.I.G.
Jan 24 2026

I’ve listened to this many times throughout my life. Slaps the same every time. There is a reason why Biggie is still in conversations about GOAT rappers even with such a short career. This album will touch you, no Diddy.

Third/Sister Lovers by Big Star
Jan 25 2026

It was good. Nothing really stand out for me. Some misses but some good ones as well.

The Velvet Underground & Nico by The Velvet Underground
Jan 27 2026

Some good some not so good, kinda rough around the edges. Some are fairly polished and pleasing. I at one time thought Apple Music decided to put on Bob Dylan in the middle of my listening session. Just feels like inconsistent from beginning to end. Shout out to Andy Warhol for the cover, love that guy.

Jan 28 2026

Mix of older country and modern pop country. Some songs I really enjoyed and some were a little too modern for me.

Hejira by Joni Mitchell
Jan 29 2026

Not for me. I think the music saves this from being a one but not digging her singing style.

Sunshine Hit Me by The Bees
Jan 30 2026

Is this the British bias everyone complains about??? Album is fine, nothing super standout. I don’t see myself coming back to this one.

War by U2
Feb 03 2026

Being born in the 90s, this is much better than the U2 music released during my youth.

Doggystyle by Snoop Dogg
Feb 05 2026

Good but too many skits on it for my tastes.

Ocean Rain by Echo And The Bunnymen
Feb 06 2026

The Cure without the depression

Urban Hymns by The Verve
Feb 07 2026

Started off with their most popular song, the rest was pretty mid.

Murmur by R.E.M.
Feb 08 2026

Fine, nothing revolutionary

Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys
Feb 11 2026

It’s good but not quite for me

Rattlesnakes by Lloyd Cole And The Commotions
Feb 12 2026

Solid, I’ll come back to this one

Tago Mago by Can
Feb 13 2026

Had me in the first half and then crashed out hard

Pink Moon by Nick Drake
Feb 16 2026

Drake lost the battle with Kendrick.

Lost In The Dream by The War On Drugs
Feb 17 2026

Fine, easy listening, nothing standout. A little too much washed out guitar interludes for my tastes.

Floodland by Sisters Of Mercy
Feb 20 2026

It was fine but it all felt like one really long song, nothing of note stood out.

Pelican West by Haircut 100
Feb 23 2026

I do my best to finish every album but I just could t do it.

Doolittle by Pixies
Feb 25 2026

I just couldn’t get into it.

Ghosteen by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Feb 27 2026

I don’t get it. Mainly a dude talking over sound. Songwriting feels pretty lackluster to me.

Young Americans by David Bowie
Mar 03 2026

After multiple Bowie albums on here, I can officially say I am not a Bowie boy. His music isn’t bad it just doesn’t do anything for me.

Protection by Massive Attack
Mar 05 2026

If I was rolling Molly or some shi, this would be fire. But alas, I’m sitting at work sober listening to this at 9AM and it is not hitting

Liquid Swords by GZA
Mar 06 2026

Dated, but bops, good lyricism, beats are definitely a product of 90s New York.

Violent Femmes by Violent Femmes
Mar 07 2026

Some hit or miss, good music, very relatable lyrics.

Truth And Soul by Fishbone
Mar 11 2026

The music is super good and tasty bass riffs but the singing brought it down for me. Lyrical content was good, I’ll come back to a few songs.

L'Eau Rouge by The Young Gods
Mar 13 2026

Nobody know what it means, but it’s provocative, it gets the people going.

Moss Side Story by Barry Adamson
Mar 15 2026

It was fine, I enjoyed the musical undertones but the singing killed it :(

Run-D.M.C. by Run-D.M.C.
Mar 16 2026

Lyrics are a positive message but just not the exact hard hitting rap that I perosnally like. The interplay between Run and DMC is very pleasant in the ears, fun hearing them go back and forth. The beats are simple but they make you wanna dance, very fun music to listen to.

Rubber Soul by Beatles
Mar 18 2026

Always been my favorite Beatles album. Norwegian Wood being my favorite song of theirs. I also have to shoutout Michelle as that’s my wife.

Nebraska by Bruce Springsteen
Mar 19 2026

So much better than the last Bruce album. More acoustic solo music, I can get with it.

Stardust by Willie Nelson
Mar 21 2026

Bangs.

Fire Of Love by The Gun Club
Mar 22 2026

Not punk that moves me

Hot Buttered Soul by Isaac Hayes
Mar 24 2026

Tasty, but not sure I’ll come back to.

Fishscale by Ghostface Killah
Mar 25 2026

A kilo is 1000 grams, it’s easy to remember.

Autobahn by Kraftwerk
Apr 03 2026

FUN FUN FUN ON THE AUTOBAHN Good for the time but age has dampened the technological mastery it was in the 70s.

69 Love Songs by The Magnetic Fields
Apr 06 2026

Songs are fine, nothing standout, but they weren’t bad. It is legitimately 69 songs long, almost three hours.

Fly Or Die by N.E.R.D
Apr 08 2026

Fine, nothing standout. Good production but nothing revolutionary to me.

It's Blitz! by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Apr 11 2026

A good palette cleanser on this list.

Whatever by Aimee Mann
Apr 12 2026

I don’t think this album is whatever but I don’t see myself coming back to it.

Play by Moby
Apr 13 2026

Enjoyed it. Good background music, nothing extremely mind blowing but production quality was definitely there.

Faust IV by Faust
Apr 15 2026

Lot of noise and not great vocals. Vocals were also mixed very softly so you couldn’t quiet hear the lyrical content.

Melody A.M. by Röyksopp
Apr 16 2026

Not bad, not exception. Pretty M I D

Vol. 4 by Black Sabbath
Apr 17 2026

Not a bad song on it.

Natty Dread by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Apr 18 2026

Good album, musically well done.

Apr 19 2026

It’s very mid, I am not really sure how it made it here honestly. It’s not bad but it’s nothing astounding. Just a very middle of the road album. The typa shit my wife would listen to, and not in a good way.

Slayed? by Slade
Apr 24 2026

Solid 70s rock album.

Gorillaz by Gorillaz
Apr 28 2026

I remember this being better when I was in middle school.

Bongo Rock by Incredible Bongo Band
Apr 30 2026

So many songs sampled this it’s crazy.

Remain In Light by Talking Heads
May 01 2026

Never really listened to the talking heads before but it’s pretty good

Bummed by Happy Mondays
May 03 2026

Mid

Strange Cargo III by William Orbit
May 04 2026

Not bad but doesn’t do much for me..

Elastica by Elastica
May 07 2026

Pree good

Lady Soul by Aretha Franklin
May 09 2026

She got pipes

2112 by Rush
May 13 2026

Rock

System Of A Down by System Of A Down
May 20 2026

I’ve been listening to this album for at least the last 20 years of my life, if not a little longer. This is a quintessential album for me. The lyrical content is very powerful (for the most part, sometimes a little silly. Serj can be a little goofster.) But these guys were so formative for my outlook from such a young age. The guitars, bass, and drums just hit so right, just so good. I will never not listen to SOAD.

Close To You by Carpenters
May 22 2026

Loved it, very nice music to do office work to

Harvest by Neil Young
May 23 2026

Such a good album

Blur by Blur
May 24 2026

I honestly expected better coming into this with how hyped Blur is, but it was kind of a let down, and maybe that’s on me. Just a bunch of noise with a few good sections thrown in.

Another Green World by Brian Eno
May 27 2026

Not bad but doesn’t do anything for me personally.

Tom Tom Club by Tom Tom Club
May 31 2026

For me, pretty hard listen

Aftermath by The Rolling Stones
Jun 02 2026

Decent but nothing super outstandingly good

Bryter Layter by Nick Drake
Jun 05 2026

It’s a good album, hard to believe Kendrick beat him

Dust by Screaming Trees
Jun 14 2026
Heartattack And Vine by Tom Waits
Jun 17 2026

I just can’t listen to his singing, his voice isn’t what annoys me, it’s the way he sings. The musicality of the album is good, just abysmal singing.

Rocks by Aerosmith
Jun 18 2026
Tidal by Fiona Apple

KIWANUKA by Michael Kiwanuka

Kid A by Radiohead
Jul 02 2026
Neon Bible by Arcade Fire
Jul 04 2026

Nothing exceptional here, sounds like any pop rock record from the time

Ten by Pearl Jam
Jul 07 2026

Solid grunge album

Remedy by Basement Jaxx
Jul 08 2026
Ys by Joanna Newsom
Jul 20 2026
Queen II by Queen
Jul 21 2026

Wait, these dudes shred?

Yeezus by Kanye West
Jul 31 2026

Kanye as a person is insane but his musical talents cannot be denied.

Aug 01 2026

Brings back my youth listening to this on my cd player on the bus

Vulnicura by Björk
Aug 05 2026

If this was on in the background I probably wouldn’t notice it, but putting on intentionally is crazy work

Black Metal by Venom
Aug 06 2026

Could use some mastering so you can actually hear the vocals, but the instrumentation bangs

Are You Experienced by Jimi Hendrix
Aug 08 2026

Damn near perfect rock album. Instrumentation is great, singing is moving, and guitar frickin shreds dude

Homework by Daft Punk
Aug 10 2026

9am and sober is not the way this album was intended to be consumed
