Popular Reviews

Garbage by Garbage

Pretty dang good! Perfect 90s sound and lots of great songs. Turns out I like this band a bit more than I thought.

All Things Must Pass by George Harrison

Absolute masterpiece. Long album, but didn't feel drawn out or boring once. Wonderful listen.

OK Computer by Radiohead

Absolute masterpiece. Not much else to say really. Pure perfection 👌

Can't Buy A Thrill by Steely Dan
Mar 11 2026

Not as bad as I thought it would be, but probably won't listen to it regularly. Too many fade outs at end of songs. Like...a lot.

Debut by Björk
Mar 12 2026

Some of the songs were a little too out there for me, but I totally get the hype behind her. Absolutely has bangers I would listen to again. I have know about Bjork my entire life, but this is the first time I have listened to an entire album by her.

All Directions by The Temptations
Mar 13 2026

Excellent album; little funky, very soulful. Will be listening to again!

Mar 18 2026

Cool album, but not my jam. I like certain eras of Genesis, but this one is not for me.

Mar 19 2026

Have never listened to a country album front to back before. Very fun and the songs are short and to the point. Really fun album!

What's Going On by Marvin Gaye
Mar 21 2026

Great album. Never realized how religious the album was. Beautiful album structure with songs flowing into the next. Awesome listen

Suede by Suede
Mar 22 2026

Beautiful album. Big fan, never knew I needed this in my life.

At Folsom Prison by Johnny Cash
Mar 23 2026

Classic for a reason. I have come to love his later work far more, but great tunes and good fun.

Mar 24 2026

Love this band. Not my favorite album of theirs, but overall a great listen.

Ghosteen by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Mar 25 2026

Love Nick Cave's early stuff, but this one is a but too slow for my tastes. Objectively good album, but probably won't be in a rush to listen to again.

Shleep by Robert Wyatt
Mar 27 2026

Some good songs, but really not for me.

Horses by Patti Smith
Mar 29 2026

Excellent album. Need to spend more time with it to digest it all, but I really dug it.

Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Mar 30 2026

Classic album with some great songs. Helpless is a perfect Neil Young song.

Siembra by Willie Colón & Rubén Blades
Mar 31 2026

Cool album, but I really have no standard of salsa music so not sure how to rate it.

Fishscale by Ghostface Killah
Apr 01 2026

Great album, truly a legend

All Hope Is Gone by Slipknot
Apr 02 2026

These guys are clearly talented af, but its not my type of music.

Garbage by Garbage
Apr 03 2026

Pretty dang good! Perfect 90s sound and lots of great songs. Turns out I like this band a bit more than I thought.

This Year's Model by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Apr 04 2026

This made me realize that I like Elvis Costello maybe only in small doses. Lots of good songs though.

Go Girl Crazy by The Dictators
Apr 06 2026

Really fun album. Had never heard before, but am definitely a fan!

Bad by Michael Jackson
Apr 07 2026

Full of hits. Had fun with it, but not an album I would revisit a whole lot.

3 Feet High and Rising by De La Soul
Apr 08 2026

True classic. Have always known about DLS, but never listened to an album in full. Huge fan!

Fifth Dimension by The Byrds
Apr 09 2026

Like them in small doses, but a whole album was too much for me.

Dare! by The Human League
Apr 10 2026
Superunknown by Soundgarden
Apr 11 2026

Phenomenal album. Always enjoyed the band, but this made me appreciate them even more

American Gothic by David Ackles
Apr 12 2026

Beautiful songs, albeit a little overblown at times.

Djam Leelii by Baaba Maal
Apr 15 2026

Didn't understand a single word, but the music is beautiful. Cool listen!

Apr 16 2026

I might not be cool enough to get this one, but it's what I'd expect for a Eno and David Byrne album

Deep Purple In Rock by Deep Purple
Apr 17 2026

Dug the music, didn't care for the vocals much.

Graceland by Paul Simon
Apr 18 2026

Absolute classic. Couple songs dont do it for me, but overall a masterpiece.

I Should Coco by Supergrass
Apr 20 2026

Only knew the single Alright. Loved the rest of the album. Took me way too long to realize how great they are.

Endtroducing..... by DJ Shadow
Apr 21 2026

Dope beats and objectively good music, but not really something I'd revisit.

Too Rye Ay by Dexys Midnight Runners
Apr 23 2026
Apr 24 2026

Love 'Take On Me', but a whole album was too much for me.

Parklife by Blur
Apr 25 2026

Great band, pretty good album. Like Leisure and their later work a bit more

Vol. 4 by Black Sabbath
Apr 26 2026

Epic and amazing. Long live Black Sabbath

Apr 29 2026

I really enjoyed this album. George is wildly talented and this one shows it. Good mix of pop anthems and softer songs.

m b v by My Bloody Valentine
Apr 30 2026

Modern classic by the masters of their craft.

Odessa by Bee Gees
May 01 2026

Honestly...I liked this way more than I thought I would. A little too much symphonic passages as the album went on, but not at all what I expected from the Bee Gees.

White Blood Cells by The White Stripes
May 02 2026

Huge fan. Elephant is my favorite of theirs, but this one is full of classics

Either Or by Elliott Smith
May 03 2026

Beautiful production. Amazing album front to back. Love the full band sound he introduced on this album.

Technique by New Order
May 04 2026

Love New Order, but wasn't familiar with this one. Love them even more now. No notes.

Californication by Red Hot Chili Peppers
May 05 2026

Ya know...I dont dislike the pepper boys, but about half this album kinda throws off the vibe of the rest of it.

All Things Must Pass by George Harrison
May 06 2026

Absolute masterpiece. Long album, but didn't feel drawn out or boring once. Wonderful listen.

Hounds Of Love by Kate Bush
May 09 2026

I adored this album. Yeah, its weird, she's out there, but her song structures, use of percussion and ear for hooks made for a very enjoyable listen.

Let It Bleed by The Rolling Stones
May 10 2026

Two of their best songs with a bunch of filler sandwiched in between. Was not familiar with Country Honk so that was kind of interesting to hear. Idk why, but the Stones appeal to me less as I get older. Not a bad album, just not one I'd lean on when I'm in the mood for them.

GI by Germs
May 11 2026

Wowowow. Can't believe I have never heard this and its crazy to think that this came out in the 70s. Seminal album in the history of hardcore punk. Have to be in the right mood to put this on, but damn, what an album it is.

Dirt by Alice In Chains
May 12 2026

I really want to like this band more than I do. The instrumentation is excellent, but I cannot get into the vocals for some reason. Still a classic for a reason.

Dub Housing by Pere Ubu
May 13 2026

Badass album. Had no idea what to expect, but was pleasantly surprised with an album full of post punk goodness.

C'est Chic by CHIC
May 15 2026

Really fun album. The bass and guitar work pulled me in. Apparently I like disco now. Big fan!

Stand! by Sly & The Family Stone
May 16 2026

Absolute perfection. Everyday People had to be one of the best songs ever written.

Scissor Sisters by Scissor Sisters
May 17 2026

I was 18 when this came out, but only remember the band by name and was wondering how I missed it. After listening, I totally see why it passed me by. Definitely not something I would have appreciated at the time. Even now, after listening, I get why it might have been a big deal, but a whole album of this is too much for me. Some funky , groovy songs, but I think I would appreciate them more if a song or two were sprinkled amongst a playlist.

Catch A Fire by Bob Marley & The Wailers
May 18 2026

Liked it more than I thought. A lot of reggae blends together for me, but this had some standout tracks. Fun listen.

D by White Denim
May 22 2026

Was completely unfamiliar going in, but was pleasantly surprised with how much I enjoyed this album. Good energy throughout. Will absolutely be seeking out more of this band.

Moon Safari by Air
May 23 2026

Really enjoyed the front half of the album, but started to lose interest. Ethereal, dancy, and good times still to be had.

Life's Too Good by The Sugarcubes
May 24 2026

Never got too into Bjork's solo career, but I really enjoyed this.

Closer by Joy Division
May 25 2026

I...guess Im not into Joy Division as much as I thought I might be. A couple songs hit for me,, but not an album I'm going to revisit any time soon.

Station To Station by David Bowie
May 26 2026

I'm very glad this was my album for the day. I listened to this way too early in my discovery of Bowie to really grasp how magnificent it is. Golden Years has always been a favorite, but this album really does continue to show his artistic progression. Absolutely wonderful.

A Wizard, A True Star by Todd Rundgren
May 27 2026

Epic album. Reading about how much drugs he was doing at the time makes absolute sense. Some filler here and there, but definitely shifted my opinion of Todd Rundgren.

May 29 2026

The reviews on this one surprise me, ngl. Absolutely amazing punk album. Not too in your face and a legendary double album. As the years go by I truly appreciate this one more and more.

Highway to Hell by AC/DC
May 30 2026

Look, I dont dislike this band, but most of their songs sound the same to me. This whole album blended together and before I knew it the album ended. Ok, maybe I don't really like AC/DC

Crocodiles by Echo And The Bunnymen
May 31 2026

Had listened to Ocean Rain and Heaven Up Here before, but had never listened to their debut before. Less of the gothy vibes, but still very enjoyable album.

Fever Ray by Fever Ray
Jun 01 2026

Have always been a casual fan of The Knife, but a whole album of this was too much for me. A song here or there would do me fine.

Surfer Rosa by Pixies
Jun 02 2026

Absolute stone cold classic. Fantastic writing from start to finish. Always thought I liked Dolittle the most, but this album hit me in the best way. All hail The Pixies.

Viva Hate by Morrissey
Jun 03 2026

I know this isn't a Smiths album, but I really wanted it to be. Loved half the album, the other half kinda meandered for me. Not bad, not great.

Soul Mining by The The
Jun 04 2026

Great 80s album. Was only ever familiar by name, but really enjoyed it!

Violent Femmes by Violent Femmes
Jun 05 2026

Essential album, but I may have burnt myself out on it over the years.

OK Computer by Radiohead
Jun 06 2026

Absolute masterpiece. Not much else to say really. Pure perfection 👌

Here, My Dear by Marvin Gaye
Jun 07 2026

Wowowow. Crushing album that is absolutely amazing.

NEU! 75 by Neu!
Jun 08 2026

I had zero idea what to expect, but thoroughly enjoyed it. Sounds modern and classic at the same time. Will absolutely revisit

Ten by Pearl Jam
Jun 09 2026

Maybe I've listened to this album too much in my life, but I really enjoy their later albums more. Still an absolute classic though.

Deloused in the Comatorium by The Mars Volta
Jun 10 2026

I used to adore this album, but upon relisten, I'm not sure where I stand. Some fantastic musicianship here, but so many songs devolve into jamming or just noise. Maybe not as fond of it as I once thought I was.

Jun 11 2026

Beautiful album, but a little out of my comfort zone. Did not know his earliest works, but dug his toned down songs compared to his later works.

Coat Of Many Colors by Dolly Parton
Jun 13 2026

Did not expect to like this as much as I did!

The Who Sell Out by The Who
Jun 14 2026

Interesting Who album I was unfamiliar with. Kind of disjointed, imo, but still fun.

Dusty In Memphis by Dusty Springfield
Jun 15 2026

Beautiful and wonderful album

On The Beach by Neil Young
Jun 16 2026

Hot damn, how Neil Young so good. Wasn't very familiar with this one, but it was a great listen.

Songs Of Leonard Cohen by Leonard Cohen
Jun 17 2026

What a debut of an album. Haunting, beautiful, legendary.

461 Ocean Boulevard by Eric Clapton
Jun 19 2026

Maybe not for me. Not objectively bad, just a bit boring for my tastes.

Dookie by Green Day
Jun 20 2026

Stone cold pop punk classic. Green Day at their finest!

Protection by Massive Attack
Jun 21 2026

I can totally see the allure of this album, but twas not for me.

Next by The Sensational Alex Harvey Band
Jun 22 2026

Like theater kids got into hard rock. Loved it.

Sail Away by Randy Newman
Jun 24 2026

This man is one helluva songwriter. Wild seeing some of the reviews, but this made me enjoy his music even more. Good stuff!

Marquee Moon by Television
Jun 26 2026

Bangers front to back. Great listen.

Off The Wall by Michael Jackson
Jun 27 2026

Idc about his musical legacy. I cannot enjoy his music knowing what he did to children.

Dire Straits by Dire Straits
Jun 28 2026

Something something Sultans of Swing. Mark Knopfler much wow. Dad rock and such.

Duck Stab/Buster & Glen by The Residents
Jun 29 2026

I tried...but I couldn't get through it. May try to revisit, but maybe next time with copious amounts of weed or something. Little too out there for me.

Low by David Bowie
Jun 30 2026

Yet another amazing output by the thin white duke. Absolute peak Bowie.

The Holy Bible by Manic Street Preachers
Jul 01 2026

Had no idea how much I needed this in my life. Great listen.

It's Blitz! by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Jul 02 2026

I forgot how strong of an album this is of theirs. Highly underrated part of their canon.

Woodface by Crowded House
Jul 05 2026

Not terrible, but nothing really caught me. Near catchy, but struggles to get there at times. Cringey lyrics abound.

Thriller by Michael Jackson
Jul 08 2026
Aja by Steely Dan
Jul 11 2026

🤷

The Renaissance by Q-Tip
Jul 12 2026

Wowowow. Not sure what else to say. Absolute masterpiece.

Tigermilk by Belle & Sebastian
Jul 13 2026

Wonderful album by one of the best bands to do it.

Lady Soul by Aretha Franklin
Jul 14 2026

Beautiful album by a wonderfully talented woman. Will definitely be revisiting this one!

Penance Soiree by The Icarus Line
Jul 15 2026

Had no idea what to expect, but really liked the energy of this one.

Liquid Swords by GZA
Jul 16 2026

It took me way too long in life to find this album.

Fear Of Music by Talking Heads
Jul 17 2026

Not my top album of theirs, but definitely still a fantastic listen.

1989 by Taylor Swift
Jul 20 2026

Liked this more than I anticipated. Some of the lyrics are beyond cringe, but some bangers to be found.

Abraxas by Santana
Jul 21 2026

Groovy man. Only ever been familiar with the hits, but really dug the entire album. Extremely talented musicians.

G. Love And Special Sauce by G. Love & Special Sauce
Jul 23 2026

Really tried to get into this, but just not my jam. Drum grooves were cool, but the mush mouth singing kinda turned me off of it.

Now I Got Worry by The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion
Jul 24 2026

Not sure I'm cool enough to "get" this. Some cool grooves, but probably wont relisten any time soon

Amnesiac by Radiohead
Jul 25 2026

Very interesting album in their canon, but still an absolute masterpiece.

Yeezus by Kanye West
Jul 26 2026

Troubled dude who has made some great art. This album has some good songs, but out of all his discography, not sure how this one made the cut over others.

Trans Europe Express by Kraftwerk
Jul 27 2026

Some good tracks, but a few of the tracks blend together for me. Not bad, not great.

She's So Unusual by Cyndi Lauper
Jul 28 2026

Looooved this. Very fun with some absolute classics on here!

Green Onions by Booker T. & The MG's
Jul 30 2026

Great driving music. Felt really cool listening to it.

Infected by The The
Jul 31 2026

This is my second The The album. Very 80s, very fun.

Court And Spark by Joni Mitchell
Aug 01 2026

Dug it some.. Maybe I don't like Joni Mitchell as much as I thought I did.

Channel Orange by Frank Ocean
Aug 03 2026

Holy crap, this is goooood

Paul Simon by Paul Simon
Aug 04 2026

Not my favorite output of his, but full of some amazing songs.

Berlin by Lou Reed
Aug 05 2026

I'm really mad....at myself for not having heard this before. Awesome!

Let's Get It On by Marvin Gaye
Aug 07 2026

Liked some, but not all. This dude loves his fade outs at the end of songs. Good mood setting tunes.
