Popular Reviews

New Wave by The Auteurs

It's a pleasant album. There's no surprises or fluff. Nothing exciting. This is an album that exists.

Songs From The Big Chair by Tears For Fears

The hits were blatantly the best songs on this album. It was too New Wave, too synthy and too digital for me. This was not awful but I am not a fan.

Illinois by Sufjan Stevens
Jan 02 2026

3/5 because it's not something I would normally go for. It was just too mellow for me. This was an entertaining album and was well crafted. The songs all paint a wonderful picture. This was my first dive into Sufjan Stevens and while it's not my cup of tea, it was quite enjoyable.

Songs From The Big Chair by Tears For Fears
Jan 06 2026

The hits were blatantly the best songs on this album. It was too New Wave, too synthy and too digital for me. This was not awful but I am not a fan.

Boston by Boston
Jan 07 2026

I knew more of this record than I thought I would. Since getting away from classic rock radio, this record hit way harder than I expected. The mix and master are fantastic. A lot of it is up tempo and driving. This album exceeded my expectations.

Band On The Run by Paul McCartney and Wings
Jan 08 2026

There's a reason Paul has been writing songs for damn near 70 years. He's a master at it. This album is fun and there's more hooks than a bait and tackle shop. Loved this one.

Bossanova by Pixies
Jan 09 2026

Great album. I somehow missed the Pixies while growing up in the 90s. This record is a vibe. I certainly enjoyed it.

Tidal by Fiona Apple
Jan 12 2026

I love Fiona Apple. This album is great. She's sharp and has a way with words. She was an angry young woman and I'm here for it. She sounds like nothing else.

Jan 14 2026

A rowdy early show from The Godfather. You can hear the Hardest Working Man in Show Business putting in the work. Everything was up tempo and raucous. Loved it.

All Directions by The Temptations
Jan 19 2026

Nice vibe. Great songs. It was a great album. Some of these tracks snuck up on me. This was a deeper dive into the Temptations than I ever done before.

New Wave by The Auteurs

It's a pleasant album. There's no surprises or fluff. Nothing exciting. This is an album that exists.

Rubber Soul by Beatles
Jan 26 2026

It's the friggin Beatles. This is a fantastic album by the most influential group of all time. Love this one.

At Newport 1960 by Muddy Waters
Feb 02 2026

Entertaining set from the legend himself.

Guero by Beck
Feb 03 2026
The Undertones by The Undertones

Fun little record. Great sound.

The Score by Fugees
Feb 10 2026

This is a great album. It's the Fugees at their best. The track segues range from frightening to hilarious. The songs are all fantastic.

Faust IV by Faust
Feb 13 2026

This was a weird one. Did not like it.

Faith by George Michael

Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young

Axis: Bold As Love by Jimi Hendrix
Mar 04 2026

Jimi is why I picked up the guitar. His records are all great.

Zombie by Fela Kuti
Mar 06 2026

I love Fela. He's the master of the Afrobeats.
