Popular Reviews

Foo Fighters by Foo Fighters

I did not particularly like this album but I appreciate the production story behind it.

Ingenue by k.d. lang

Constant craving is the only song I noticed on this pleasant but unmemorable album.

Time Out Of Mind by Bob Dylan

It’s no wonder this man was awarded a Nobel Prize for Literature. His songs are poetry and he also happens to be a great musician.

Funeral by Arcade Fire

Beautiful sounds that kept me interested from beginning to end. Fun fact: Rebellion is the opening theme of the popular Italian political talk show “Otto e mezzo.”

Dec 27 2025

This album was a great discovery! I’ll definitely listen to it again, especially City, Country, City.

The Stranger by Billy Joel
Dec 28 2025

Classic vibes and a whole lot of pathos!

Mothership Connection by Parliament
Dec 29 2025

Repetitive, I could hardly listen to it all. I like the album cover, though.

Grace by Jeff Buckley
Dec 30 2025

This album left me dazed and confused.

Duck Stab/Buster & Glen by The Residents
Dec 31 2025

If anxiety had a sound this would be it. I only liked The Booker Tease.

Live And Dangerous by Thin Lizzy
Jan 01 2026

I enjoyed the album, classic rock with live band energy, elevated by Phil Lynott’s great voice.

Beyond Skin by Nitin Sawhney
Jan 02 2026

Interesting sounds, global atmosphere, and engaged lyrics that made me go back for a second listen.

Blur by Blur
Jan 03 2026

Ok album but, except for Song 2, it did not excite me.

A Little Deeper by Ms. Dynamite
Jan 04 2026

Made me want to learn some of the lyrics and sing along…

Red Dirt Girl by Emmylou Harris
Jan 05 2026

Not a fan of country music but enjoyed J’ai fait tout and Boy from Tupelo.

Come Away With Me by Norah Jones
Jan 08 2026

If you’re in the mood for sweet and mellow this is a great album.

The Scream by Siouxsie And The Banshees
Jan 09 2026

This kind of energy is enjoyable for a couple of songs, then it slowly starts draining your soul lol

Stardust by Willie Nelson
Jan 10 2026

Much respect for Willie Nelson and his gentle interpretation of these songs.

Foo Fighters by Foo Fighters
Jan 12 2026

I did not particularly like this album but I appreciate the production story behind it.

Abbey Road by Beatles
Jan 13 2026

Timeless album and iconic cover.

Nevermind by Nirvana
Jan 14 2026

One of the albums of my generation. Powerful

Opus Dei by Laibach
Jan 15 2026

Nein danke

British Steel by Judas Priest
Jan 17 2026

Just what I needed to drag myself to the office on a freezing Friday.

Jan 18 2026

I never really considered KW, probably because I don’t like his public persona, but I thought this album was very good and enjoyed listening to it. Lots of nice collaborations, too. (SMH for the blurred George Condo cover art)

Funeral by Arcade Fire
Jan 20 2026

Beautiful sounds that kept me interested from beginning to end. Fun fact: Rebellion is the opening theme of the popular Italian political talk show “Otto e mezzo.”

Dr. Octagonecologyst by Dr. Octagon
Jan 21 2026

Some beats are not bad but the album is overall disturbing.

Colour By Numbers by Culture Club
Jan 22 2026

Maybe it’s nostalgia but this album brought me great joy.

Odelay by Beck
Jan 24 2026

Musical potpourri that didn’t speak to me. Could have done better with the cover, too.

Stand! by Sly & The Family Stone
Jan 25 2026

This album grew on me the more I listened to it and recognized some of the tracks like “You can make it if you try” and “Everyday people.”

Paul Simon by Paul Simon
Jan 27 2026

I LOVE this album, especially Mother and child reunion, Duncan, Me and Julio down by the schoolyard, and Peace by the river. Beautiful music, voice, and lyrics!

Ingenue by k.d. lang
Jan 28 2026

Constant craving is the only song I noticed on this pleasant but unmemorable album.

Bongo Rock by Incredible Bongo Band
Jan 29 2026

As someone else said, I like bongos but not that much lol

Crazysexycool by TLC
Jan 30 2026

Some R&B classics here, from a time when R&B was not annoying yet.

Time Out Of Mind by Bob Dylan
Feb 01 2026

It’s no wonder this man was awarded a Nobel Prize for Literature. His songs are poetry and he also happens to be a great musician.

Head Hunters by Herbie Hancock
Feb 03 2026

It’s not my favorite kind of jazz but it was still a pleasant listen. Watermelon Man reminded me of the White Lotus season 3 opening soundtrack.

Brothers In Arms by Dire Straits
Feb 04 2026

Money for Nothing alone deserves a five stars for me but I also love some of the other songs on this album like Brothers in Arms and Your Latest Trick.

She's So Unusual by Cyndi Lauper
Feb 05 2026

Girls just want to have fun and Time after time are timeless. The rest of the album is okay.

Dummy by Portishead
Feb 06 2026

Atmospheric

Californication by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Feb 07 2026

This is one album I instantly got hooked on when I listened to it at the Ricordi Mediastore in Milan (yes, we used to go to music stores to listen to albums through wall‑mounted headphones!) I also love the cover, it fits the album perfectly.

In Rainbows by Radiohead
Feb 08 2026

Was not familiar with this album and will listen to it again but for now it’s a three.

Tapestry by Carole King
Feb 09 2026

So many beautiful songs on this album.

Feb 11 2026

Not bad for a country album. I especially enjoyed the sound in Boxcars.

Sister by Sonic Youth
Feb 12 2026

Cacophonic more than sonic… but interesting! Made me feel like I was listening to a live band in a garage. Loved the church bells at the end.

Music From Big Pink by The Band
Feb 13 2026

This grew on me the more I listened to it and of course there are a couple of standout classics.

Hejira by Joni Mitchell
Feb 15 2026

I find her storytelling annoying at times, but the music is pleasant enough.

The Suburbs by Arcade Fire
Feb 16 2026

Even if I liked their first album more, there’s something about this one that still pulls me in.

Let It Bleed by The Rolling Stones
Feb 17 2026

I feel the energy that radiates from this album. Great music and voice, and the last song is a masterpiece.

Guero by Beck
Feb 18 2026

Second album by him and still don’t like it.

Blood On The Tracks by Bob Dylan
Feb 19 2026

This is my favorite Bob Dylan’s album so far (let’s see how many more we get lol) “Tangled up in blue,” “You’re a big girl now,” and “Idiot wind” are so beautiful, and “If you see her, say hello” got me emotional.

Scream, Dracula, Scream by Rocket From The Crypt
Feb 20 2026

Better than expected considering the name of the band and the album title and cover!

Ragged Glory by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Feb 22 2026

Perfect soundtrack for a bus ride across Ireland.

Floodland by Sisters Of Mercy
Feb 23 2026

I only liked 1959

So by Peter Gabriel
Feb 24 2026

Good album, it reminds me of my youth.

L.A. Woman by The Doors
Feb 25 2026

Very cool rock

Stephen Stills by Stephen Stills
Feb 26 2026

I liked a couple of songs

Idlewild by Everything But The Girl
Feb 27 2026

Nice surprise

Pearl by Janis Joplin
Feb 28 2026

Boost of energy

2112 by Rush
Mar 07 2026

Nothing special here

The Downward Spiral by Nine Inch Nails
Mar 10 2026

Perfect title for this exhausting album. Enjoyed Piggy and a couple of others though.

Face to Face by The Kinks
Mar 11 2026

Fun album to listen to. I love Sunny Afternoon, which is also on the soundtrack of Wim Wender’s Perfect Days along with other cool songs of the past.

Tonight's The Night by Neil Young
Mar 12 2026

I love Neil Young but this is not one of my favorite albums.

Mar 13 2026

Tainted Love is super, other songs are fun but it gets boring after a while

3 + 3 by The Isley Brothers
Mar 14 2026

That Lady and Summer Breeze are a vibe, the rest not so much.

Fire Of Love by The Gun Club
Mar 16 2026

Kind of repetitive but still enjoyable

It's Blitz! by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Mar 17 2026

Pretty cool sound and voice

Billion Dollar Babies by Alice Cooper
Mar 18 2026

Too bad the only song I liked musically on this album talks about necrophilia…

Fuzzy by Grant Lee Buffalo
Mar 22 2026

Not bad but will I listen to it again? I doubt it…

To Pimp A Butterfly by Kendrick Lamar
Mar 24 2026

I like how this album combines different genres to talk about the African American identity and experience. Favorite songs are “The Blacker the Berry” and “I.”

Very by Pet Shop Boys
Mar 25 2026

Cool but I prefer their album “Actually.” Go West rocks though!

Hotel California by Eagles
Mar 28 2026

Nice album to listen to on my birthday but it doesn’t hold up to the promise of the title song.

Headquarters by The Monkees
Mar 30 2026

Didn’t know this band and I loved the album! There’s even an Italian track which was so funny to me.

My Aim Is True by Elvis Costello
Mar 31 2026

Nice album, higher than 3 but not enough for a 4 so… Really liked “I’m not angry.”

Junkyard by The Birthday Party
Apr 02 2026

The kind of noise you would expect at a junkyard birthday party!

Parallel Lines by Blondie
Apr 04 2026

I knew and like a couple of songs on this album.

Zombie by Fela Kuti
Apr 05 2026

I enjoyed Zombie, the rest was a little too much of the same.

Killing Joke by Killing Joke
Apr 06 2026

Surprisingly, I kind of liked this album.

A Hard Day's Night by Beatles
Apr 07 2026

A few timeless songs on this album. “And I love her” is my favorite.

Technique by New Order
Apr 08 2026

Nice 80s disco vibes

Dub Housing by Pere Ubu
Apr 09 2026

Ok for a couple of songs, then it gets annoying.

Midnight Ride by Paul Revere & The Raiders
Apr 12 2026

Pleasant. The Italian version of a song was a nice surprise.

Black Metal by Venom
Apr 13 2026

I liked the theatrical quality of some songs but this genre is not for me.

Apr 14 2026

Hard not to give this album 5 stars just for Bohemian Rhapsody.

Rattlesnakes by Lloyd Cole And The Commotions
Apr 15 2026

I enjoyed a few songs here, especially “Patience” and “Are you ready to be heartbroken?”

Roxy Music by Roxy Music
Apr 16 2026

Loved the music in “Is there something?” and the album in general was a nice surprise.

Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness by The Smashing Pumpkins
Apr 17 2026

This is a very long album and I didn’t enjoy all the songs but I’m giving it a four stars for “Tonight, Tonight,” “Bullets with Butterflies Wings,” “1979,” and for the title and cover. A friend of mine from college was obsessed with this album and the lead singer!

Vol. 4 by Black Sabbath
Apr 20 2026

A heavy metal album I was suspicious of but ended up liking a lot! I especially enjoyed “Wheels of Confusion” and “Changes.”

Bayou Country by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Apr 21 2026

This album knows how to evoke an atmosphere.

Dig Your Own Hole by The Chemical Brothers
Apr 23 2026

I have to be in the mood for this kind of sound but as far as electronic music goes it seems pretty good to me.

Apr 25 2026

One pearl after another culminating in Purple Rain.

Moondance by Van Morrison
May 09 2026

Moondance is beautiful and I enjoyed the entire album

May 10 2026

Nothing speaks Eighties to me like this album! I also have a very vivid memory of listening to Take on Me on a bus back from the mountains after an intense day on the slopes while eating a delicious orange that probably saved me from dehydration ahahahaha

Yeezus by Kanye West
May 15 2026

Not as strong as MBDTF.

Doesn't sound like a great album

The Slim Shady LP by Eminem
Jun 05 2026

I enjoyed some songs but prefer The Marshall Mathers LP

The Köln Concert by Keith Jarrett
Jun 07 2026

I’m sure he’s great but I find these all piano concerts boring after a while.

Songs From A Room by Leonard Cohen
Jun 08 2026

Love his voice and storytelling but the music feels repetitive sometimes. Favorite is “You know who I am.”

Rain Dogs by Tom Waits
Jun 10 2026

Better than the last one but still not over 3 for me

Pump by Aerosmith
Jun 11 2026

Not impressed apart from Water Song/Janie’s got a gun

Jul 19 2026

I don’t know if it’s because this album brings me back to my youth but I found it excellent, both musically and lyrically.

Jul 20 2026
