Popular Reviews

2112 by Rush

The band is great, but the songs are putrid, and the singer sounds like his shorts are too tight. This would have been a great instrumental album.

Moving Pictures by Rush

Doesn't do it for me. The songs are mostly silly and then there's the vocals...

Brothers by The Black Keys
Feb 10 2026
Be by Common
Feb 12 2026

Smooth and uplifting

My Generation by The Who
Feb 14 2026

Exquisite. Still have my vinyl copy from the 70s.

Illinois by Sufjan Stevens
Feb 15 2026

Mostly didn't move me. Reminded me of Owl City and went on forever.

Odelay by Beck
Feb 16 2026

Some nice noise but didn't do much for me.

Smokers Delight by Nightmares On Wax
Feb 22 2026

Good music for a long car ride

Electric by The Cult
Feb 25 2026

Did nothing for me

Imperial Bedroom by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Feb 27 2026

Nice but not my favorite

Pearl by Janis Joplin
Feb 28 2026

Like a supernova

Caetano Veloso by Caetano Veloso
Mar 01 2026

Nice, but I don't speak the language

Beggars Banquet by The Rolling Stones
Mar 02 2026

Doesn't spark joy for me

Born In The U.S.A. by Bruce Springsteen
Mar 03 2026

Not my favorite but much much goodness

Pink Moon by Nick Drake
Mar 04 2026

Worth a close re-listen

The Clash by The Clash
Mar 05 2026

Hardcore punk

Little Earthquakes by Tori Amos
Mar 09 2026

Poetic and sometimes brutal but not a musical style that appeals to me

Heroes by David Bowie
Mar 15 2026

Love him, don't love the album

Closer by Joy Division
Mar 18 2026

Bleak

British Steel by Judas Priest
Mar 19 2026

Didn't make me want to barf

Moondance by Van Morrison
Mar 21 2026

Sublime

Low by David Bowie
Mar 22 2026

Except for Sound and Vision, doesn't do anything for me. It was experimental, and I guess he liked the results, because he did the same thing on Heroes.

Dry by PJ Harvey
Mar 23 2026

Gnarly and reminds me of Patti Smith, but nothing I'd need to hear again

Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath
Mar 26 2026

Could have been worse

Led Zeppelin III by Led Zeppelin
Mar 27 2026

Tasty guitar, a surprising amount of it acoustic, but Robert Plant's voice makes my skin crawl

Songs From The Big Chair by Tears For Fears
Mar 28 2026

I was surprised to find out that the name of the band and a big lyrical influence was primal scream therapy. The two hits are great and there were a couple of other points that caught my attention. Overall a lovely sound.

Slayed? by Slade
Mar 30 2026

Kinda fun

Crocodiles by Echo And The Bunnymen
Apr 01 2026

Wow, very tight

Songs Of Leonard Cohen by Leonard Cohen
Apr 07 2026

For me, when his songs are satisfying musically as well as lyrically they're mind-blowing, but when they're just streams of poetry backed by guitar, not so much so. Pretty impressive for a debut album though.

Harvest by Neil Young
Apr 13 2026

Whew, finally.

To Pimp A Butterfly by Kendrick Lamar
Apr 15 2026

Didn't get through it. Not the worst thing I've ever heard.

2112 by Rush
Apr 16 2026

The band is great, but the songs are putrid, and the singer sounds like his shorts are too tight. This would have been a great instrumental album.

Siembra by Willie Colón & Rubén Blades
Apr 18 2026

Very refreshing

Kind Of Blue by Miles Davis
Apr 21 2026

I don't know what makes good jazz, but I liked this.

Fleet Foxes by Fleet Foxes
Apr 22 2026

Some good sounds but it really doesn't speak to me.

Natty Dread by Bob Marley & The Wailers
May 02 2026

Reggae bliss

Iron Maiden by Iron Maiden
May 04 2026

Ambitious and not the worst thing I've ever heard

May 07 2026

I sort of liked the parts where there was actually music

Drunk by Thundercat
May 08 2026

Dude

Step In The Arena by Gang Starr

Couldn't get through it, but what I heard didn't speak to me

Ramones by Ramones
May 13 2026

Every track is like an explosion.

Faust IV by Faust
May 14 2026

Actually kind of fun

The Modern Dance by Pere Ubu
May 18 2026

Well, don't need to hear that again. Although it sometimes reminded me of Talking Heads.

Murmur by R.E.M.
May 23 2026

I like the sound, but was disappointed to learn the lyrics are meaningless

Emperor Tomato Ketchup by Stereolab
May 25 2026

Loved it! Very interesting, sounds great and lots of good French practice.

Cheap Thrills by Big Brother & The Holding Company
May 26 2026

Rockin'

Lam Toro by Baaba Maal
May 27 2026

Interesting

Didn't listen this time around, but I do like this album

Too Rye Ay by Dexys Midnight Runners
May 31 2026

Fun

Southern Rock Opera by Drive-By Truckers
Jun 03 2026

Scott 4 by Scott Walker
Jun 04 2026

Figure 8 by Elliott Smith
Jun 07 2026

Jun 12 2026

Don't need to hear that again

Out Of The Blue by Electric Light Orchestra
Jun 21 2026

Overlong. Should have been a single LP.

Jun 23 2026

Pure delight

Everything Must Go by Manic Street Preachers
Jun 24 2026

Great sounding band but the lyrics didn't make much sense to me.

Jun 25 2026

Love these guys

Solid

Moving Pictures by Rush
Jul 27 2026

Kenya by Machito
Jul 29 2026

Nice

The Low End Theory by A Tribe Called Quest
Aug 02 2026

Kind of fun, but since they mostly just want to talk about themselves it didn't do much for me.

Aug 11 2026

Not the worst thing I've ever heard but I wouldn't listen to it again.
