Popular Reviews

La Revancha Del Tango by Gotan Project

Anything that is electro-jazz/swing/tango etc. is a huge miss for me 99% of the time. Only listened 3 tracks from this.

G. Love And Special Sauce by G. Love & Special Sauce

About 30mins into the album I noticed I accidentally enabled shuffle, so there goes the 'album experience'. Show me any individual song on it's own and I say yeah, this is fine. But listening to more than 4 is just too much. I didn't finish the album.

Led Zeppelin by Led Zeppelin
Mar 05 2026

Like the instrumentals and how they sound kind of raw. Not so much the vocals, too much "baby baby".

Wild Is The Wind by Nina Simone
Mar 06 2026

Liked this one. A nice listen. Probably won't come back to listen again often.

At Folsom Prison by Johnny Cash
Mar 07 2026

Some of these old school blues lyrics sound a bit silly, listening today. But still a good listen.

Metallica by Metallica
Mar 08 2026

Couple of bangers. Listened to this a lot during high school, but not in my rotation anymore.

Garbage by Garbage
Mar 09 2026

It was a nice listen. A bit more electronic/synth sounds than I expected. I almost liked the vocals more to the instrumentals.

Elvis Presley by Elvis Presley
Mar 10 2026

Bit of classic tunes. Didn't mind it but won't listen again on purpose.

Heartbreaker by Ryan Adams
Mar 11 2026

Nice western and blues themes. Mellow and mostly slow to mid tempo songs with some quick rock n roll towards the end.

The Coral by The Coral
Mar 12 2026

I think I never heard of them before. 60s influenced "sailor rock". Likely won't be in my rotation.

John Prine by John Prine
Mar 13 2026

I appreciate some of the anti-war and other folk/country sentiment but this one is not for me.

Ellington at Newport by Duke Ellington
Mar 14 2026

Liked this one. Reading up on this, turned out it's a 100% live recording. Still enjoyed it very much. Will probably listen again.

Bitte Orca by Dirty Projectors
Mar 15 2026

Hipster Indie pop, had moments I liked but mostly just can't get into it. I'm sure I would like this more seeing live on stage, but as an album on its own, really not my thing.

La Revancha Del Tango by Gotan Project
Mar 16 2026

Anything that is electro-jazz/swing/tango etc. is a huge miss for me 99% of the time. Only listened 3 tracks from this.

good kid, m.A.A.d city by Kendrick Lamar
Mar 17 2026

Rap&HipHop are not my thing. The second part of the album was more enjoyable for me. Will not listen again probably.

Sister by Sonic Youth
Mar 18 2026

Nice noisy one.

Dry by PJ Harvey
Mar 19 2026

Really liked this one. Will explore more from her.

Call of the Valley by Shivkumar Sharma
Mar 20 2026

Conflicting information online about the original recording, and different versions available. It was a nice listen, but ultimately I'm not 100% sure I listened to the original. Nice atmospheric and takes you on a journey

Blue by Joni Mitchell
Mar 21 2026

Nice clean and honest folk. Liked it but probably won't revisit it soon.

Marquee Moon by Television
Mar 22 2026

It was a nice listen but won't be my new favorite. The first half of the album was better plus that 10 minute song later. At the very end, I was getting the impression of 70s&80 rock that's not for me ( like Scorpions and such)

Sex Packets by Digital Underground
Mar 23 2026

The first track is kind of epic in its own right. But in all this is not for me. It felt like the production was actually pretty good.

Bookends by Simon & Garfunkel
Mar 24 2026

Yeah, I don't know. It was all over the place. Every time I heard something that I liked, they changed it up immediately. Not for me.

Maverick A Strike by Finley Quaye
Mar 25 2026

Nice listen. Can't really compare as reggae is not my thing.

Californication by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Mar 26 2026

Yes, this is one for me. Listened to this a lot when younger. Arguably the first half is better with all the bangers

Getz/Gilberto by Stan Getz
Mar 27 2026

Nice and pleasant listen. Don't know much about bossa nova but feels like this would be a good introduction for anyone. I might revisit if I want ló relax with this type of sound around me.

Mar 28 2026

Liked the titular song and most of it really. Good listen, I was listening to the remastered version though. I can see how it was a huge influence for decades after.

Physical Graffiti by Led Zeppelin
Apr 05 2026

2nd Led Zeppelin in a month. Still not a huge fan. I liked 'Kashmir' and 'The Wanton Song'. And generally like the riffs but I still can't get used to certain elements of singing "Oh Baby" or "Hey Mama".

#1 Record by Big Star
Apr 06 2026

At fist I was like, I literarily never heard of this band before. And when 'In the Street' came on, I was like, hold on , this is the theme song from 'That 70s Show, but slightly worse. Didn't mind it, but I will forget about this very soon.

In Utero by Nirvana
Apr 07 2026

Probably the first time I listened to this album in its entirety. I am one of those who enjoy the hits from Nirvana but this album only have a few for me.

Freak Out! by The Mothers Of Invention
Apr 08 2026

Appreciate the instrumentals, nice 60s and 70s psychedelic vibes. The vocals were to funky and artsy. Not for me.

Water From An Ancient Well by Abdullah Ibrahim
Apr 09 2026

Nice and easy to listen, but I would find something else, if I'm in the mood for jazz.

Apr 10 2026

Remember the hits from this album when they came out. There are good grooves and pulls but the genre itself is just not for me. I ended up listening to half of the album.

Pretzel Logic by Steely Dan
Apr 11 2026

Enjoyed this one. Not as hard as Led Zeppelin but similar 70s vibe, only softer and more listenable

Skylarking by XTC
Apr 12 2026

Once we get into the 80s, I'm kind off done with this pop-rock genre. Either be psychedelic like in the 70s or be heavy as other bands were in the 80s. This one is not for me

Treasure by Cocteau Twins
Apr 13 2026

It was nice and dreamy. I'm writing this the day after listening and I can barely recall anything to be honest, but I remember enjoying it at the time.

The College Dropout by Kanye West
Apr 14 2026

Nice hooks, and nicely produced album with lot's of featuring artists. Because I'm not familiar with the genre and artists sometimes it was hard to keep track of this.

The ArchAndroid by Janelle Monáe
Apr 15 2026

Enjoyed this one. Very cinematic at some parts and a nice blend of modern sounds with some classics. I will likely revisit this artist in the future

Street Life by The Crusaders
Apr 16 2026

Really enjoyed this one. Really nice vibes, takes you to a cinematic noir feeling. I'll listen again for sure.

Django Django by Django Django
Apr 17 2026

I got some 80s/ 90s vibe from this. Like I imagine this is what Pet Shop Boys would sound like if they would sample more guitar sounds. It sounds eclectic with the guitar and other electronica. It just didn't click for me. Listened to only half the album.

Tapestry by Carole King
Apr 26 2026

Really enjoyed this one. Turns out I already knew some of the songs as some of them were and still are quite popular. Nice to properly associate the artist to the music I've heard before.

Apr 27 2026

Sorry, not for me. Only listened to 3 songs. Again, this blend of genres are a miss for me.

Aqualung by Jethro Tull
Apr 28 2026

Enjoyed this one better than previous 70s rock.But won't remember too much about it

Life's Too Good by The Sugarcubes
Apr 29 2026

Enjoyed this one. Didn't pull me in all the way, but had my attention through the whole album.

G. Love And Special Sauce by G. Love & Special Sauce
Apr 30 2026

About 30mins into the album I noticed I accidentally enabled shuffle, so there goes the 'album experience'. Show me any individual song on it's own and I say yeah, this is fine. But listening to more than 4 is just too much. I didn't finish the album.

Back To Black by Amy Winehouse
May 01 2026

I was already familiar with lot of the songs before but not really as a full album. I enjoyed it, and I will likely come around to listen again in the future, which I don't mind. The album itself was surprisingly shorter than I expected with 34 minutes playtime, but the songs were different enough to make it up. I give this a 3 but I think it's very close to a 4 to me, might come back and change it in the future.

Station To Station by David Bowie
May 10 2026

I enjoy Bowie, but I'm one of those who mostly listens to the hits and best-of albums . This one was a good listen only 38 minutes so gave another listen straight after the first play. I'll probably keep myself focused on the hit songs.

Rock 'N Soul by Solomon Burke
May 11 2026

Enjoyed this one for one listen. I guess this is not my genre as I feel like there wasn't enough variety in the songs so after a while it kind of blended together.

Is This It by The Strokes
May 12 2026

At first, I thought I never listened to The Strokes before. But then I realised this is the sound I heard everywhere during the Indie/Hipster boom after 2000. I like that I can actually hear out the baseline from the mix, most of the time. I didn't mind this album, but I have zero emotional or cultural connection to the sound and themes this album represents. To be fair, I feel a bit weird about it. Like it brings up a certain nostalgia that I should be familiar with but I never actually lived it. I would have given this a 3, but now changing my mind to a 2, because of this forced nostalgia factor.

Rhythm Nation 1814 by Janet Jackson
May 13 2026

Didn't care about this much as I'm not huge fan of this type of pop music anyways.

Liege And Lief by Fairport Convention
May 14 2026

It was a nice listen though I got distracted halfway. I'll give it a 3 but that is more for my liking of the genre itself.

With The Beatles by Beatles
May 15 2026

This would have been a 3 as I enjoyed the tunes. But, having the instrumentals on the left and vocals on the right in the mix is so very annoying.

Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival
May 17 2026

This album gave me Vietnam flashbacks. I was born ~15 years after the war. In Europe.
