Popular Reviews

Peggy Suicide by Julian Cope

I wish I could give this a negative number. I’d rather listen to myself getting eaten by lions.

Basket of Light by Pentangle

This is really a 1, but goodness bless these guys for making it.

Fly Or Die by N.E.R.D

I liked this a lot more when I was a teenager.

All Ratings (238)

Tea for the Tillerman by Cat Stevens
Dec 27 2025

I’d heard the hits from this album before, and they were just as good as I’d remembered. I now see why they are the only ones I knew.

Music for the Masses by Depeche Mode
Dec 27 2025

Very nice background music but nothing really grabbed me.

Cross by Justice
Dec 29 2025

Really rather disliked this. Couple songs got me moving a bit, but overall not my Jamboree.

Come Away With Me by Norah Jones
Dec 31 2025

I hadn’t heard this since I was like 12. Wow it knocked me off my feet. Amazing music to drive around to at night.

Ragged Glory by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Jan 01 2026

It’s fine. I have no idea how this made it, and I’m a huge Neil Young fan. Certainly a lesser effort by him, but it’s fine.

Led Zeppelin by Led Zeppelin
Jan 06 2026

Never been a fan of Led Zeppelin. Can’t give it more than a 2, because it’s obviously not horrible but I don’t care for it.

Your Arsenal by Morrissey
Jan 07 2026

Morrissey is a ghoul but his music also touches my soul like no one else.

Garbage by Garbage
Jan 13 2026

Drags a bit in the middle, but really good overall.

Hail To the Thief by Radiohead
Jan 14 2026

Grew up on this one. Some of their highest highs, but the section between There, There and Wolf at the Door kinda drags more than I remembered.

Exit Planet Dust by The Chemical Brothers
Jan 16 2026

I understand their importance as producers, but I couldn’t finish this.

Parklife by Blur
Jan 17 2026

Radiohead’s greatest musical achievement was killing BritPop.

Vol. 4 by Black Sabbath
Jan 21 2026

It’s fine, just pretty blah outside of Changes.

1977 by Ash
Jan 23 2026

Definition of Meh. No idea why this is here over other far more prominent 90s artists.

Time Out by The Dave Brubeck Quartet
Jan 24 2026
Dookie by Green Day
Jan 25 2026
Feb 02 2026

Too much of it has aged badly to go 5, but the best stuff here is some of the best music ever created.

The United States Of America by The United States Of America
Feb 04 2026

I respect the hell out of this album. I’m glad it exists. It caused me physical pain to listen to it though and I couldn’t recommend it to anyone.

The Queen Is Dead by The Smiths
Feb 05 2026

One of my all time favorite albums. Hits every emotion perfectly. Sad, funny, angry, the best.

I Should Coco by Supergrass
Feb 06 2026

Brand new to me. I got this, saw the nightmare fuel cover and had LOW expectations. Instead I got surf music that went through a lawnmower. Incredible stuff.

Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Feb 07 2026
Sex Packets by Digital Underground
Feb 18 2026

It has the HUMPTY DANCE, what’d you think it would get?

Movies by Holger Czukay
Feb 25 2026

I want to give this a 1 for being a torturous experience, but a 5 for having the balls to be it. I flipped a coin. 1 was Heads. Sorry.

Casanova by The Divine Comedy
Mar 01 2026

This isn’t even fun bad. It made me sad with how bad it was.

Funeral by Arcade Fire
Mar 05 2026
Electric Ladyland by Jimi Hendrix
Mar 19 2026

It’s Electric Ladyland, what did you think it would get?

American Gothic by David Ackles
Mar 20 2026

He swung for the fences. He corkscrewed down to the ground and landed on his bottom. Respect for the effort.

The Köln Concert by Keith Jarrett
Mar 24 2026

Absolutely breathtaking. I’d never heard of this before. Exactly what you dream of for this project.

Hejira by Joni Mitchell
Mar 26 2026
Nevermind by Nirvana
Mar 28 2026

Dude, it’s Nevermind.

The Dreaming by Kate Bush
Mar 29 2026

I appreciate the gusto, but I’d rather listen to a fire alarm.

Aja by Steely Dan
Mar 30 2026
Oar by Alexander 'Skip' Spence
Apr 02 2026
Blur by Blur
Apr 07 2026

Man Blur is bad. Song 2 is worth a point though.

Imperial Bedroom by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Apr 09 2026

One of the best albums ever made. I’m sorry to all who don’t like Elvis Costello though. Having 9,000 albums on here is a bit much even for me.

Peggy Suicide by Julian Cope
Apr 13 2026

I wish I could give this a negative number. I’d rather listen to myself getting eaten by lions.

Foo Fighters by Foo Fighters
Apr 14 2026

Perfectly competent butt rock.

Duck Stab/Buster & Glen by The Residents
Apr 17 2026

I really respect that this exists. A bit hard to swallow at times but overall I enjoyed it.

Zombie by Fela Kuti
Apr 18 2026
Cut by The Slits
May 08 2026

Probably the worst thing I’ve ever heard.

So by Peter Gabriel
May 12 2026
Grace by Jeff Buckley
May 17 2026
Destroyer by KISS
May 20 2026

People who don’t like KISS are people you shouldn’t trust.

Horses by Patti Smith
May 23 2026
Survivor by Destiny's Child
May 25 2026
Murmur by R.E.M.

Arular by M.I.A.
Jun 01 2026
Violent Femmes by Violent Femmes
Jun 06 2026

Got me through high school, still incredible 20 years later. Hallowed Ground is better though.

Basket of Light by Pentangle
Jun 10 2026

This is really a 1, but goodness bless these guys for making it.

american dream by LCD Soundsystem
Jun 21 2026

How did THIS make it? I love LCD Soundsystem’s earlier albums but this one is booty.

Suede by Suede
Jun 25 2026
The Coral by The Coral
Jun 26 2026

Wow that’s bad.

The White Album by Beatles
Jun 27 2026

Little too much filler. But like…the good stuff is incredible.

Chris by Christine and the Queens
Jul 01 2026

Not for me.

Sheet Music by 10cc
Jul 05 2026

Gosh darn this was boring. Didn’t even have the one good song they made

Vivid by Living Colour
Jul 12 2026
Reign In Blood by Slayer
Jul 13 2026

I don’t trust people that hate Slayer.

Shaft by Isaac Hayes
Jul 16 2026
21 by Adele
Jul 21 2026
Bone Machine by Tom Waits
Jul 22 2026

I love Tom Waits. I really don’t like this album.

25 by Adele
Jul 24 2026
White Light by Gene Clark
Jul 29 2026

A light that shone as bright as a birthday candle in a rainstorm.

m b v by My Bloody Valentine
Jul 31 2026
Aug 02 2026

2. 1 star for the first song. 1 more for every song after it that sounded exactly the freaking same.

Scum by Napalm Death
Aug 10 2026
Tidal by Fiona Apple
Aug 11 2026
Fly Or Die by N.E.R.D
Aug 13 2026
