Rubber Soul by Beatles

This album was sooooooo close to being genuinely perfect. Compared to earlier albums, John's songwriting becomes more intimate, Paul becomes this amazing bass player out of nowhere, and you can feel the more focused energy from the entire band. I just don't know why they chose a scary ass song like 'Run for Your Life' as a closer. It doesn't ruin anything, but it's just an odd choice. I can't explain it, but this album just feels really cosy. Like a warm jumper. Not my favourite, but if it's someone else's, I'll tip my hat to them and shake their hand.

So by Peter Gabriel

Exodus by Bob Marley & The Wailers

Veckatimest by Grizzly Bear
Apr 10 2026

This millennial burger place album really overstays its welcome

Vol. 4 by Black Sabbath
Apr 12 2026
1999 by Prince
Apr 18 2026

It’s iconic, it influenced so many better bands and I think it captures the energy of their live shows really well. On the other hand I would think that show was shit. If you’re going to be an industry plant at least learn to play the instruments well.

B-52's by The B-52's

Faust IV by Faust
May 04 2026

Sometimes you just aren’t in the mood for noise and that’s OK

Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
May 05 2026
Blue by Joni Mitchell
May 06 2026
Haunted Dancehall by The Sabres Of Paradise
May 08 2026

The first song reminds me of music to make you poop

The Score by Fugees
May 11 2026

I think that Wyclef is talented, but Lauryn Hill HARD carries this album

Rio by Duran Duran
May 12 2026
Cross by Justice
May 13 2026
Aftermath by The Rolling Stones
May 15 2026

Liked the front half of the album but got a bit repetitive by the end.

Play by Moby
May 16 2026
Cafe Bleu by The Style Council
May 18 2026

I thought I understood the vibe of this album, then they started rapping the whitest rap and I was completely lost. I guess that it’s really ambitious and it does have a couple good songs, but I’ve seen this type of album done better and without giving me whiplash

Elephant Mountain by The Youngbloods
May 21 2026

Not bad, but kinda just went in one ear and out the other

May 24 2026

I don’t get the people who said this was repetitive. It’s house music, that’s the whole point.

Parachutes by Coldplay
May 26 2026

I've called early Coldplay Radiohead clones a lot, but to be fair to them, being a copy of a better band doesn't automatically make you bad. Also, this is just a personal thing, but I remember in secondary school EVERYBODY'S favourite song was Yellow, and I didn't get it then, and I extra don't get it after listening to the whole album. Maybe the simple lyrics spoke to all the 13 year olds.

Licensed To Ill by Beastie Boys
May 27 2026

While technically it’s not the best it’s very fun

Calenture by The Triffids
May 29 2026

Long, boring with a dated sound.

Achtung Baby by U2
May 31 2026

Actually not that bad, but me and Bono have beef

American Idiot by Green Day
Jun 02 2026

An album that is not only amazing, but it also really captures the feeling of America in the 2000s.

Celebrity Skin by Hole
Jun 03 2026

Music so good I almost forgot Courtney Love is racist

The Grand Tour by George Jones
Jun 04 2026

Reminds me of something my mom would listen to. Real nostalgic experience

Dry by PJ Harvey
Jun 05 2026
Gentlemen by The Afghan Whigs
Jun 08 2026

The sound is pretty generic. Sounds like most other early 90’s alt rock bands.

Blood, Sweat & Tears by Blood, Sweat & Tears
Jun 10 2026

Just wasn’t feeling it as a whole experience. Songs are fine on their own but as an album it kinda sucks

Os Mutantes by Os Mutantes
Jun 11 2026

Love how they’re able to blend traditional Brazilian instruments with the rockier style of the album. Also reminded me that the cuica exists and now I want one.

Appetite For Destruction by Guns N' Roses
Jun 14 2026

This album is great but all the popular songs have been overplayed to the point where I hate them.

Blur by Blur
Jun 16 2026

One-hour album, and only the first two songs are great. Blur are at their best when they're being quirked up and British.

Loveless by My Bloody Valentine
Jun 18 2026

For now, this is the greatest shoegaze album of all time to me. Was on constant repeat during my first year of college

Ghosteen by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Jun 19 2026

The instrumentals on this album are beautiful and haunting, creating an unsettling scene. Then Cave started talking, and I got kinda bored. The child/parent double-album concept was interesting in theory, but in practise I didn't care that much, and it was kinda a slog to finish. Album cover is cool, though.

Fulfillingness' First Finale by Stevie Wonder
Jun 20 2026

Stevie Wonder's classic period might be the best run in all of music. This album is less good than the rest of them, but it's still damn near perfect.

Heartattack And Vine by Tom Waits
Jun 22 2026

Had to listen in pieces cause his voice gave me a headache so that sums up how I feel about this album

Unknown Pleasures by Joy Division
Jun 23 2026

It was a massive influence on the Crow comic book, so all the praise it gets is deserved

Berlin by Lou Reed
Jun 24 2026

Leagues better than transformer, but still found it slightly unremarkable

Synchronicity by The Police
Jun 26 2026

I just realised that P Diddy kinda ruined 'Every Breath You Take' for me. Fine album, but got to take points away for making me think of that guy.

Jun 30 2026

This album really feels like the moment when Queen became Queen. Everyone gets their moment to shine, but Freddie's vocal style elevates the whole album.

Greetings From L.A. by Tim Buckley
Jul 02 2026

The music is nothing to write home about, and the lyrics are weird at best and kind of offensive at worst. And I don't like him. Take this 1.

Cloud Nine by The Temptations
Jul 04 2026

Surprised by how funky the front half of the album was. Don't really associate the temptations with the genre, but it works really well. The back half is more traditional Motown, which is fine, but not as good as the beginning.

Brown Sugar by D'Angelo
Jul 05 2026

If you don’t like this album then you should probably talk to more black people.

Metallica by Metallica
Jul 06 2026

Had to listen to it twice cause the first time I thought it was shit, but it grew on me. If you pretend to be someone's 50-year-old dad, then it works better

C'est Chic by CHIC
Jul 07 2026

Makes me feels like going to the club and doing a dangerous amount of cocaine

Iron Maiden by Iron Maiden
Jul 11 2026

I remember this album being a a lot heavier but that’s 80s metal for you I guess. Pretty inoffensive all things considered.

Jack Takes the Floor by Ramblin' Jack Elliott
Jul 12 2026

Rambles just enough for it to be enjoyable

Marcus Garvey by Burning Spear
Jul 13 2026

One of the best examples I've seen of an album that mixes thought-provoking social commentary with just amazing music. That's kinda the point of reggae, but whatever, it's good

Heroes by David Bowie
Jul 14 2026
Yank Crime by Drive Like Jehu
Jul 15 2026

This is just supremely my shit.

Jul 16 2026

Dated beats, dated flows, tired delivery, it's way too long, and maybe it's just me, but the mixing is really bad too. The title track saved bros career.

Ramones by Ramones
Jul 18 2026

Looked at sex pistols and sighed

Jul 19 2026

My beef with bono has been put on hiatus cause this actually warmed my heart and healed my nostalgic inner child. Still shocked by how modern this sounded.

Damaged by Black Flag
Jul 20 2026
Ingenue by k.d. lang
Jul 22 2026

‘Tis good but just a bit samey, which feels worse cause the albums like an hour long

Jul 23 2026

fun short time. I love bands that are able to do simple stuff really well. Is it kinda cheating cause its a compilation album, I guess, but cheating sounds good

Machine Head by Deep Purple
Jul 25 2026

Don't have much to say, just very good

Casanova by The Divine Comedy
Jul 27 2026

ts really boring. I don't care enough to give it a 1

Rubber Soul by Beatles
Jul 28 2026

The Wildest! by Louis Prima
Jul 29 2026

Reasonably wild time was had

Sail Away by Randy Newman
Jul 31 2026

Randy Newman’s voice annoys me
