Popular Reviews

Clube Da Esquina by Milton Nascimento

Pleasant music that you would have gotten a three had there been half as many tracks.

Rock Bottom by Robert Wyatt

This album isn’t on rock bottom, but it’s only the width of a head hair from being there

Devil Without A Cause by Kid Rock
May 02 2026

I like Kid Rock notwithstanding the fact that he shields for the orange menace; that said, this album sucks

Crazysexycool by TLC
May 08 2026

Not really my choice of music, but I was cruising along in intending to give it a four until I got to the asswipe lyric which cost it a star

Clube Da Esquina by Milton Nascimento
May 20 2026

Pleasant music that you would have gotten a three had there been half as many tracks.

The Grand Tour by George Jones
May 21 2026

There have been many pretenders but there is only one George Jones at the top of the heap. The Possum is missed by all who love his genre of music

Back to Mystery City by Hanoi Rocks
May 22 2026

The college summer I pack packed through Europe with classmates we were to take a train from Sweden to Finland; one of guys disappeared and we missed the train; a couple of days later he reappeared after a 48 hour sojourn with a Swedish girl he had met; never made it to Finland but liked this album nonetheless

Coat Of Many Colors by Dolly Parton
May 23 2026

If these tracks are autobiographical in nature, Ms. Parton certainly had her share of relationship problems. But for Merle Haggard though, this was probably the CMA winner in 72

Kilimanjaro by The Teardrop Explodes
May 24 2026

This album loses a star because the majority of tracks are limited to a single octave, however, it gains a star because the bridges between ol many of the verses are musically interesting. Overall: Meh

New Wave by The Auteurs
May 26 2026

Okay but not la politique des auteurs; methinks this group should rename it self

Songs The Lord Taught Us by The Cramps
May 27 2026

Most of this album is good rock ‘n’ roll; however, some of it gave me cramps

Vulnicura by Björk
May 28 2026

Bjork is a tortured soul in this album and she succeed in torturing me. I hope she heals.

Jazz Samba by Stan Getz
Jun 01 2026

When I was in high school I saw Stan Getz perform at the Carter Baron amphitheater in Rock Creek Park, DC. His jazz was smooth and enjoyable but the highlight of the show was a performance by Astrud Gilberto singing The Girl from Ipanema. That got a rise out of me, so to speak

Trio by Dolly Parton
Jun 05 2026

Three superstores in one place! How can you go wrong?

Back To Black by Amy Winehouse
Jun 06 2026

Another one we lost too early. RIP Amy

Live / Dead by Grateful Dead
Jun 10 2026

Big fan of the Dead; not a big fan of live albums

I'm Your Man by Leonard Cohen
Jun 15 2026

Just one of the best Canucks of all time I

Music by Madonna
Jun 16 2026
Freak Out! by The Mothers Of Invention
Jul 04 2026
Nick Of Time by Bonnie Raitt
Jul 09 2026

Gotta love a rockin' redhead

Rock Bottom by Robert Wyatt
Jul 10 2026

This album isn’t on rock bottom, but it’s only the width of a head hair from being there

Manassas by Stephen Stills
Jul 12 2026

Not his best stuff

Atomizer by Big Black
Jul 15 2026

The molecules of my brain got atomized listening to this

Shadowland by k.d. lang
Jul 22 2026

KDL is one of my favorite Canucks and she did not disappoint with this offering

Green by R.E.M.
Jul 23 2026

R.E.M. J.U.S.T..S.O.S.O.

Floodland by Sisters Of Mercy
Jul 24 2026

My prayer for mercy while listening to these”sisters” was to have this album be over quickly

Blood And Chocolate by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Jul 25 2026

When your name is Elvis, how can you go wrong?

Junkyard by The Birthday Party
Jul 27 2026

To suggest this album be returned to the junkyard is an insult to junkyards; a landfill would be a better depository for this trash

Bandwagonesque by Teenage Fanclub
Jul 28 2026

Too much noise but this gets ok grade for the music that is there

Time Out Of Mind by Bob Dylan
Jul 29 2026

Not what one would call “classic Dylan” bit should be considered a classic nonetheless

More Specials by The Specials
Jul 30 2026

Nothing special here to hear

Dance Mania by Tito Puente
Jul 31 2026

This album gave me a Proustian moment of when in 1960 I was at the age of 14 expelled from dance Cotillion where my mother had enrolled me to learn how to jitterbug. Mambo dance was the craze; when the teacher tried to teach it to us I rebelled; it did not go well.

Yank Crime by Drive Like Jehu
Aug 01 2026

Kept waiting for some lyrics……. Waiting……… waiting Waiting……..

Ys by Joanna Newsom
Aug 02 2026
Call of the Valley by Shivkumar Sharma
Aug 04 2026

This call was to a wrong number and not even worth leaving voicemail

Vivid by Living Colour
Aug 05 2026

Mostly hard driving rock - OK

Sweet Baby James by James Taylor
Aug 06 2026

James Taylor gets Five stars plus extra credit because he grew up in Chapel Hill

The Low End Theory by A Tribe Called Quest
Aug 07 2026

I have a theory: this album definitely belongs at the low end
