Popular Reviews

Shleep by Robert Wyatt

Liked a couple songs. Love the cover art. 2.5

Locust Abortion Technician by Butthole Surfers

I really don't like this. Some of the songs were super annoying--equivalent to someone repeatedly poking you, but doing it loudly and as obnoxiously as possible.

Ocean Rain by Echo And The Bunnymen

Overall, very enjoyable with a couple bangers!

1-Star Albums (4)

All Ratings (244)

The Doors by The Doors
Nov 18 2025

Quite liked most of it. The lengthy solos still annoying.

At San Quentin by Johnny Cash
Nov 20 2025

I usually hate live albums--I can't stand the artists' chatter and the audience reactions, but I quite like Johnny Cash's plain-spoken criticism of the prison system and law enforcement. His attitude backs up the music.

1999 by Prince
Nov 21 2025

Two great songs.

Dry by PJ Harvey
Nov 24 2025

Not my jam. 2.5

The Coral by The Coral
Nov 27 2025

Some good songs. Some weird ones.

This Is Fats Domino by Fats Domino
Nov 29 2025

Six of the tracks were unavailable, but I liked what I heard.

Os Mutantes by Os Mutantes
Dec 02 2025

Okay. Not my taste.

L.A. Woman by The Doors
Dec 09 2025

Generally enjoyed. 3.5

The Real Thing by Faith No More
Dec 14 2025

I like it, but it's too loud for me in my old age. 3.5

Bat Out Of Hell by Meat Loaf
Dec 16 2025

Horny teenager music (or rather, music for middle-aged people to remember when they were horny teenagers) . Over-the-top and entertaining.

Liege And Lief by Fairport Convention
Dec 17 2025

Okay, but not my jam.

Aqualung by Jethro Tull
Dec 22 2025

Weird old white people (men, likely) music. I liked "Wondr'ing Aloud." On the fence about the flute. No thank you to long interviews. 2.5

Metallica by Metallica
Dec 23 2025

I mean...

The Man Machine by Kraftwerk
Dec 24 2025

Somewhat Devo derivative, some SpongeBob robot episode? Liked The Model song. 2.5?

Casanova by The Divine Comedy
Dec 25 2025

Liked generally. There were a few weird cheesy songs.

Arrival by ABBA
Dec 27 2025

Even the bad ones are pretty good.

Ill Communication by Beastie Boys
Dec 29 2025

A few fabulous songs and a lot of filler.

Dec 31 2025

Last two tracks are a little more melodic and tolerable, but generally hated this and it made me feel angry and agitated.

This Year's Model by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Jan 03 2026

Some fabulous songs! Overall great!

Soul Mining by The The
Jan 04 2026

This was okay. One great song.

Hot Buttered Soul by Isaac Hayes
Jan 05 2026

I hate when songs have long instrumental endings or solos that drag on. Hayes's voice is like butter.

90 by 808 State
Jan 06 2026

Interesting, but not to my taste.

Rising Above Bedlam by Jah Wobble's Invaders Of The Heart
Jan 07 2026

Not to my taste. The couple songs with Sinead O'Connor were the best. Would give a 2.5 if I could

Pyromania by Def Leppard
Jan 08 2026

Not my kind of music, but thought it was overall good.

Jazz Samba by Stan Getz
Jan 09 2026

Enjoyed this. Would prefer to listen to songs individually rather than the whole album at once.

Rumours by Fleetwood Mac
Jan 12 2026

Christine McVie’s songs the only bad ones. This album is one of the best albums ever. Silver Springs should have been included on the original album.

Channel Orange by Frank Ocean
Jan 13 2026

Some songs I enjoyed on here. I hate talking on tracks.

Strange Cargo III by William Orbit
Jan 14 2026

This was okay, but not something I would ever want to listen to again if given a choice.

Eliminator by ZZ Top
Jan 15 2026

Some great, memorable songs. Sexist, yes. Fun, also yes. Would definitely happily listen to.

Lost Souls by Doves
Jan 16 2026

Pretty good. I really enjoyed some of the songs. Would listen to this again. Not crazy about the instrumental, synthesizer stuff.

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
Jan 17 2026

Hmm. Some okay songs, and one amazing song. Ideally I could give this a 3.5. I would listen to this album if it came on, but wouldn't make an effort to look for it.

Clandestino by Manu Chao
Jan 19 2026

Quite enjoyed this. Made me feel like I was on vacation somewhere instead of in this winter hellscape. Fun album.

Seventeen Seconds by The Cure
Jan 20 2026

Too many boring instrumental parts. Sounds like the Cure, minus the cheekiness and catchy melodies.

Traffic by Traffic
Jan 22 2026

A couple of good songs. Some terrible songs.

Hounds Of Love by Kate Bush
Jan 24 2026

One amazing song. Some okay ones.

Ragged Glory by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Jan 26 2026

Neil's voice isn't my favourite, but he's an amazing songwriter.

Locust Abortion Technician by Butthole Surfers
Jan 28 2026

I really don't like this. Some of the songs were super annoying--equivalent to someone repeatedly poking you, but doing it loudly and as obnoxiously as possible.

Ocean Rain by Echo And The Bunnymen
Jan 29 2026

Overall, very enjoyable with a couple bangers!

D by White Denim
Jan 30 2026

I liked a few songs, the others were meh.

Doolittle by Pixies
Jan 31 2026

Zombie by Fela Kuti
Feb 04 2026

Quite liked this. 3.5

Konnichiwa by Skepta
Feb 05 2026

Really enjoyed some of the songs. Skillful rhymes and flow (I thought). 3.5

Go Girl Crazy by The Dictators
Feb 12 2026

Fun and silly. Rocky Horror Picture Show minus the musical genius and hot Tim Curry.

Horses by Patti Smith
Feb 22 2026

She's cool, but not digging the music. 2.5

Vivid by Living Colour
Feb 25 2026

Mar 02 2026

Mar 07 2026

Meh. Waiting for Stairway to Heaven.

Scum by Napalm Death
Mar 12 2026

Would rather be lobotomized than listen to this again.

Mar 13 2026

Not my jam. 2.5

Truth by Jeff Beck
Mar 15 2026

2.5

Bad Company by Bad Company
Mar 16 2026

Pretty good. 3.5

Madman Across The Water by Elton John
Mar 17 2026

This one is all over the place. One phenomenal song, one great song, some mediocre songs and a racist song.

Your Arsenal by Morrissey
Mar 18 2026

Meh. Not my favourite.

Night Life by Ray Price
Mar 20 2026

Nice voice. 2.5

Orbital 2 by Orbital

Enjoyed some of the songs. Mick Jagger vibe.

New Wave by The Auteurs
Apr 01 2026

Quite liked this.

Kala by M.I.A.
Apr 03 2026

Not my jam, but she is fierce. Tempted to give it a 4 for Paper Planes. 3.5

The White Album by Beatles
Apr 04 2026

Could have been a 5, but some songs feel like definite filler.

Scott 2 by Scott Walker
Apr 05 2026

This would be great if I was watching a musical. But I am not, and it’s just very odd. 2.5

Dance Mania by Tito Puente
Apr 09 2026

Party time. 3.5

Mott by Mott The Hoople
Apr 12 2026
Tommy by The Who

Natty Dread by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Apr 20 2026

Enjoyable. 3.5

Arc Of A Diver by Steve Winwood
Apr 22 2026

One okay song. The rest are tolerable and/or irritating. Spanish Dancer is downright cringey. 2.5

Mr. Tambourine Man by The Byrds
Apr 23 2026

Some questionable songs but overall I like their sound. A Walmart version of Simon and Garfunkel or The Monkees. 3.5

Getz/Gilberto by Stan Getz
Apr 24 2026

Love bossa nova and this is beautiful.

Off The Wall by Michael Jackson
Apr 25 2026

All the weird tics and sounds are aggravating.

Paranoid by Black Sabbath
Apr 29 2026

3.5

Cloud Nine by The Temptations
May 01 2026

Crying child on 3rd track very disturbing.

Bummed by Happy Mondays
May 08 2026

2.5

The Scream by Siouxsie And The Banshees
May 10 2026

Pearl by Janis Joplin
May 17 2026
For Your Pleasure by Roxy Music

This was a surprise! Not the crooning of Bryan Ferry. Some good songs. Some weird ones. 3

Mask by Bauhaus
May 22 2026

Not my jam, but the fishcake song (track 14) holds a special place in my heart. 2.5

The Cars by The Cars
May 23 2026

Solid album. A couple of fabulous songs. 3.5

Scissor Sisters by Scissor Sisters
Jun 08 2026

Fun, but a too disco-y for my taste.

Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Jun 11 2026

I sprouted some chin hears and lost a tooth while I listened to this. 2.5

2112 by Rush
Jun 15 2026

When I saw the first track was 20 minutes, I knew I would hate it. But I can understand why music nerds love it. (Also, Geddy Lee's voice is triggering.) 3, maybe a 2.5.

Cosmo's Factory by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Jun 20 2026

Liked a lot of the songs. Must be the perimenopause. 3.5

Murder Ballads by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Jun 26 2026

Brothers by The Black Keys
Jun 27 2026
Jun 28 2026

She has a good voice, but the music is VERY annoying. She sounds like a hyper theatre kid performing for her grandparents at Thanksgiving.

Murmur by R.E.M.
Jul 02 2026

I've never heard of any of these songs, but I really enjoyed this album.

To Pimp A Butterfly by Kendrick Lamar
Jul 04 2026

I know this is supposed to be amazing, but not to my taste. I do like the cover, though.

Not a fan of all the songs, but the great songs are exceptional and capture our generation. 4.5

3 + 3 by The Isley Brothers
Jul 14 2026

3.5

Floodland by Sisters Of Mercy
Jul 16 2026

Some of songs are too long, and sound awfully similar, but it was okay overall.

Solid Air by John Martyn
Jul 17 2026

enunciate 2.5

One phenomenal song and I quite disliked the rest. 2.5

Vol. 4 by Black Sabbath
Jul 23 2026
Henry's Dream by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Jul 24 2026

Sometimes feels like the lyrics or the story are the focus and the melody is an afterthought. 2.5

Be by Common
Aug 05 2026

Liked the Kanye songs the most. Generally enjoyed. 3

Loveless by My Bloody Valentine
Aug 06 2026

Not my jam. Noisy Mazzy Star. 2.5

Paul's Boutique by Beastie Boys
Aug 07 2026
