Chocolate Starfish And The Hot Dog Flavored Water

All Ratings

Remain In Light

Talking Heads

5/5

I don't know why I didn't listen to this before. So many good grooves.

Grace

Jeff Buckley

2/5

Harder than I thought it would be, but also more like Train than I thought it would be. Hallelujah is still great, every other song sucks for a unique reason.

It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back

Public Enemy

4/5

Wow so much Flava Flav! Pretty good shit though. High energy!

Elvis Presley

3/5

The hits are pretty good, the rest is kind of repetitive. Great musicians, though.

Iron Maiden

2/5

So cheesy! Music was okay as long as that dork kept his mouth shut.

Automatic For The People

R.E.M.

3/5

Maybe a grower? A little slow for my taste and too many songs in minor key, but the good songs really stand out.

A Christmas Gift For You From Phil Spector

Various Artists

3/5

Not too interruptive, fine background music.

At Fillmore East

The Allman Brothers Band

3/5

Man this is really jammy. Too jammy. I lost interest during the three reaaaaaaaaalllly long blues jams. Bassist ripped, though.

Born To Run

Bruce Springsteen

5/5

It still sounds huge, and every song except Across the River is great. Five fucking stars.

Antichrist Superstar

Marilyn Manson

1/5

71 minutes of the most edgelord bullshit. I can hear the collective mouthbreathing in between the tracks.

Casanova

The Divine Comedy

4/5

Corny and full of cheese, but also kind of brilliant. I was never bored and they definitely won me over by the end.

Talking Book

Stevie Wonder

2/5

I recognize that he's very talented but I am very bored and don't like most of his artistic choices. Superstition is cool.

2112

Rush

3/5

The proggy stuff on side one is great, and Geddy Lee can really wail. The back half left me cold, though.

Is This It

The Strokes

4/5

Cool.

Tidal

Fiona Apple

3/5

Too much piano, no guitar! It wasn't bad, though.

Back In Black

AC/DC

2/5

Maybe if I was twelve I would have thought this was cool, but I'm not so I don't.

Hard Again

Muddy Waters

3/5

My what a forward young man you are. Can you try playing a different song, though? I think we've heard this one before.

At Mister Kelly's

Sarah Vaughan

2/5

I don't really like the way she sings.

Cheap Thrills

Big Brother & The Holding Company

3/5

Some gnarly stuff, but I just don't think I'll listen to it again

A Walk Across The Rooftops

The Blue Nile

4/5

A little goofy, surprisingly beautiful. Good stuff!

Vento De Maio

Elis Regina

3/5

Some songs were nice.

Ananda Shankar

4/5

Wow, what a ride!

Urban Hymns

The Verve

3/5

It's fine for background music, very consistent, no goofy shit. I was really happy when the hidden track hit.

Sunday At The Village Vanguard

Bill Evans Trio

1/5

Ugh jazz.

Chocolate Starfish And The Hot Dog Flavored Water

Limp Bizkit

1/5

It is awful, but there is a certain baggy, cargo-shorted charm about Fred and the gang not seen in their sterner contemporaries (looking at you Messrs Manson and Davis). So, one star, but without prejudice or hate.

Nevermind

Nirvana

4/5

Hits after hits. I have no idea what he is saying but I feel it.

All Hail the Queen

Queen Latifah

3/5

These beats are pretty great, especially funky horns. But I don't really vibe with the old school rapper lyrics.

My Generation

The Who

3/5

A lot more traditional 60s pop than I expected. The seeds are there, but they really don't have their voice yet.

Fragile

Yes

2/5

No.

Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret

Soft Cell

3/5

Palpable sexual tension.

Solid Air

John Martyn

2/5

Some nice folk songs and then some meandering slop.

Garbage

4/5

Great production and some really nice hooks and general sounds throughout.

Achtung Baby

2/5

Shockingly undercooked cheese. I gave U2 too much credit.

Physical Graffiti

Led Zeppelin

4/5

They me in the first half, NGL. Second half ripped. Maybe a bad master at first?

Teenage Head

Flamin' Groovies

3/5

Pretty okay, some standouts here but didn't really have enough consistency of voice.

Third

Portishead

4/5

Solid listen when high! Or sober!

Peter Gabriel

1/5

Ugh slow and cheesy. Not good! Even the hits are not good!

The Dark Side Of The Moon

Pink Floyd

4/5

Far out, man

The Köln Concert

Keith Jarrett

3/5

Okay, it's not so bad for one dude sitting at a piano for an hour. He sustains some interesting shit, I guess.

Disintegration

The Cure

4/5

Came in hot, but lost some steam in the saggy middle. Still great atmospheric shit!

Let It Bleed

The Rolling Stones

5/5

Still hits a hard as it did 20 years ago. Classic.

Jack White

3/5

Hot Fuss

The Killers

4/5

Amnesiac

Radiohead

3/5

Picture Book

Simply Red

1/5

My god this is so cheesy. The song about heaven being a bar and the one about money are especially egregious. I couldn't wait for it to end.

Bitches Brew

Miles Davis

3/5

The Atomic Mr Basie

Count Basie & His Orchestra

2/5

Jazz.

Aladdin Sane

David Bowie

3/5

By a hair, maybe on reputation alone?

At San Quentin

Johnny Cash

4/5

Not the biggest JC fan, but this one was cool. Great stage banter.

I’ve Got a Tiger By the Tail

Buck Owens

4/5

This is pretty fun. Do do do looking out my back door.

Who's Next

The Who

4/5

Crime Of The Century

Supertramp

3/5

It's fine. Kind of campy 70s rock.

Ingenue

k.d. lang

1/5

My aesthetic inclinations do not align with Madam Lang.

The Gershwin Songbook

Ella Fitzgerald

1/5

Wild Is The Wind

Nina Simone

2/5

Tracy Chapman

3/5

Yawn. It's a nice song. But they all kind of blend together.

Fiona Apple

3/5

Aha Shake Heartbreak

Kings of Leon

5/5

This is one of my favorite albums. Sue me!

The Slim Shady LP

Eminem

2/5

The Doors

2/5

Carnival music sung by a clown.

Van Halen

2/5

What I have learned from this is there are so many unique ways to make bad music.

Vol. 4

Black Sabbath

3/5
