Popular Reviews

25 by Adele

I need to be transparent in this review… this album is incredibly nostalgic for me. My mom had this CD in her car and we would listen to it on the way to elementary school. Just now, she texted me that she still has the CD somewhere in her garage. I’ve heard some of these songs dozens of times and their lyrics are etched into my brain alongside the rose-tinted memories of early education. Regardless of my personal bias towards this album, 25 still has to be one of the greatest modern soul/pop albums. Fueled by the engine that is Adele’s voice, every track makes you gawk at how someone can belt with such ferocity and emotion. Her lyrics are full of self-reflection, and each one hits with a certain level of maturity that feels genuine and humble. (Though, nothing about her voice feels humble whatsoever.) Gorgeous orchestration and piano pieces back the songs as well, creating a uniquely smooth and, at times, emotionally devastating experience. I LOVE this album so much. Favorite Tracks: Water Under the Bridge I Miss You

Fuzzy by Grant Lee Buffalo

it's fine, I don't really know why it's on here. I guess 1993 was a slow year for music apart from wu tang and souvlaki.

Sticky Fingers by The Rolling Stones
Apr 23 2026

I don't really know much about the rolling stones but they're pretty good here. Sound kinda like Geese in some ways with the guitar and such. I am liking the slower songs and the guy's voice is very expressive. wondering which one mick jagger is note: mick jagger is the guy whose voice i was praising earlier. awesome! fav tracks: Brown Sugar Sister Morphine Wild Horses

Apr 24 2026

Track A: yeah this shit is pretty fire. The ending segment is straight gas but sadly I’m too stupid in the music realm to understand what’s going on beyond “this shit good” Track B: wow yeah I’m starting to get jazz here Track C: piano banger and I liking it Track D: Bounced on my boy's dick to this song

Blood Sugar Sex Magik by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Apr 25 2026

Holy shit that bass is so plucky and fat and sexy I’m in love I can tell that this is gonna be a controversial album amongst this group but I’m having a great time with it (my brother loves this band) This album definitely reeks of that 90's angst and unredeemable parts of that era: the raunchy lyrics, abrasive vocals, bloated tracklist, etc. But it's all pretty good actually, I had a great time listening to it. Maybe I deserve to be back in 1992 with bleached tips and baggy jeans and an affinity for saying slurs that we can't quite say anymore in this day and age. The instrumentation was all very good, Chad Smith is a demon on those drums and adds a lot of character to the rhythm, and goddamn that bass just stuck its fingers up my ass and dug around until it hit that golden button. I've never been one to focus on bass in songs, but this album changed that for me. It was a highlight throughout the entire album. Fav Tracks: Under the Bridge I Could Have Lied

Fulfillingness' First Finale by Stevie Wonder
Apr 26 2026

Stevie gotta be in top 5 blind people of all time after listening to this album I loved how personal this album felt, the lyrics were incredibly introspective while also being surrounded by groovy little jams that made me bob my head at a low frequency and amplitude but with as much love as any other song I've listened to. Fav Tracks: Smile Please Creepin' You Have Done Nothin'

Brothers In Arms by Dire Straits
Apr 27 2026

They never know when to end a song do they Someone is casting spells on that guitar to make it sound like if guitars could have orgasms and by God they can

Exodus by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Apr 28 2026

I can definitely see how this album hits very strongly for a group of people. The overtly political message and underlying spirituality through it all makes it for an enlightening listen for someone so separated from his issues at the time. As a message, this album is as important as it is reserved. Beautifully written and produced without a doubt. In terms of my listening, it's just okay. Most of the songs sound the same barring the lyrics, and I far more enjoyed the second half than the first. I recognize a lot of the bigger tracks on the second half as well which might make it hit harder. Definitely not something I'd listen to all the time, but I recognize its greatness in the pantheon of reggae and political music.

At Mister Kelly's by Sarah Vaughan
Apr 29 2026

Makes me want to curl up on a couch with a blanket and a cup of hot chocolate as the rain lightly lands against the screen door to my right, a cat lovingly curled up next to me sound asleep and lightly purring as I am reminded auditorily of the sweeter and softer parts of life, my heart rate slowly and steadily lowering throughout the course of record with Vaughan's voice lulling me into a safer place somewhere outside my normal reach where I can just be okay, a hard thing to be at times

Moondance by Van Morrison
Apr 30 2026

It's okay, makes me want to listen to Heavy Metal by Cameron Winter though (and I did right after)

Ace of Spades by Motörhead
May 01 2026

I remember the first song from the opening intro cinematic from Gorod Krovi in Black Ops 3 Zombies, so that's my favorite song. The lead singer's voice got on my nerves after a while. I can tell that man smoked a lot of meth during the creation of this album, they were not okay when they made this. For the world of metal, this feels like a breakthrough.

Queen II by Queen
May 04 2026

Oh boy do I love me a good rock opera RIP Da goat Freddie Mercury you would've loved heated rivalry If you gotta make love do it everywhere!!!! Fav Tracks: White Queen (As It Began) Nevermore Seven Seas of Rhys

I Should Coco by Supergrass
May 05 2026

Thank god this is playable on stereo and mono equipment. This is a fuckin banger holy

Siembra by Willie Colón & Rubén Blades
May 06 2026

It was good, definitely can see why it is influential on Latin music. Ecuador PRESENTE !!!!!!

The Stooges by The Stooges
May 07 2026

It was fine. I don't really care for it but I'm glad it inspired better punk bands. I think Violent Femmes took a little bit from these guys and that was a way better band

Walking Wounded by Everything But The Girl
May 08 2026

This album was absolutely beautiful. I think this is my first 5 since Mingus Bingus Charlies Wingus but damn do I believe that this album deserves it. Such a smooth sound, a squeaky clean mixture between Tracy's voice (very reminiscent of Dido, I must say) and the beats cooked up by Ben. The drum patterns are quite simple but mixed in with the synths, piano riffs, etc., they stand out to give each song a unique rhythm and feel that complements the silky vocals every step of the way. Some of the songs feel samey, but I feel like each stands out in their own way. The remixed song towards the end was a groovy little dance jam that had my hips swaying side to side like a palm tree on a California beach in the summer. This will 100% be a relisten, I can tell that this is only going to grow on me more. I will have to check out their other stuff.

Achtung Baby by U2
May 12 2026

Right up my alley here, though I've never listened to U2 on my own terms. I like it a lot though, will likely be relistening!

Faith by George Michael
May 14 2026

Kinda groovy

Disintegration by The Cure
May 19 2026

So good, despite the songs being incredibly long. Really enjoyed the feeling of the album as whole, melancholic and romantic.

In Our Heads by Hot Chip
May 20 2026

I dig this album! It feels very cozy strangely, much like the Everything but the Girl album.

The White Album by Beatles
May 25 2026

Yeah this shit was really good actually

Hotel California by Eagles
May 26 2026

I'm digging this for sure. Feels very classic rock, not super experimental but just a very solid and great sounding album

May 27 2026

Better than I expected, not a terrible listen. Country music never gets me though.

May 28 2026

P Diddy number one hater has an inconceivable amount of bangers on this album and is fucking awesome.

1989 by Taylor Swift
May 29 2026

I fucking love this album I'm so sorry. It's really good. Without all the deluxe songs it's just a really tight well-crafted pop album with a lot of bangers, a lot of cringe of course, but an overall amazing vibe. I can't bring myself to give it a 5 so this will do.

Blunderbuss by Jack White
Jun 01 2026

Dude fuck this guy's voice fr. Why is he doing that on Freedom at 21. Stop. This is the closest thing to a 1 I've heard, but the instrumentation is just good enough to save it. Hated this more than anything we've had yet but I have to recognize its merits.

Raising Hell by Run-D.M.C.
Jun 02 2026

THIS BEAT IS MY RECITAL. I THINK IT'S VERY VITAL. This was a really fun album and, from what I gather, very important for the hip hop movement back in the 80s. I liked it a lot

Olympia 64 by Jacques Brel
Jun 05 2026

Bro it's french

Play by Moby
Jun 09 2026

It's a quite beautiful sounding and relaxing album, though can get reptitive and boring at times since it is so long.

Street Signs by Ozomatli
Jun 10 2026

Yeah it's pretty good nothing special though?

At Budokan by Cheap Trick
Jun 11 2026

Yeah this was a great live album, mixed well and just a fun listen overall

Here's Little Richard by Little Richard
Jun 15 2026

this shit got my gam gam spinning and doing cartwheels and going ape shit on the plastic wrapped couch in the living room rn

Jun 16 2026

This shit is awesome, this album is absolutely right up my alley. It's weird, experimental, vast, slow, bombastic, atmospheric, winding, everything you could possibly want from a prog rock album. TWENTY FIRST CENTURY SCHIZOID MAAAN

Led Zeppelin III by Led Zeppelin
Jun 17 2026

This is awfully close to a 5 but it’s still a very very good album

Deloused in the Comatorium by The Mars Volta
Jun 19 2026

I’m busting fucking everywhere uhhhhh oh my gooooood yesssuhhhhhh give me more of his weird angsty voice and distorted guitars and ten minute songs I need this ughhhhhh inject this into my veins NOOOOOW

Funeral by Arcade Fire
Jun 22 2026

weawwy fweakin good awbum...

Jun 24 2026

It's a fun, wacky alternative hip hop album with some wonderful bars and reflective lyrics. Nothing too special but pretty enjoyable.

Jun 25 2026

Good, I like self conscious rap but nothing special in the production department to warrant anything higher. Feels like so many other hip hop albums could be on here than this one. If blueprint or MBDTF or really anything early Kanye isn’t on here I’m flipping my shit

Harvest by Neil Young
Jun 29 2026

Yeah it’s good it’s aight luh calm

3 + 3 by The Isley Brothers
Jul 03 2026

Holy shit I immediately recognized the first song as the sample for i by Kendrick Lamar on TPAB. What a fucking sample.

Time Out Of Mind by Bob Dylan
Jul 08 2026

I like what he’s doing here, the songwriting is truly something different (doesn’t hold a candle to Cameron winter of course)

Aha Shake Heartbreak by Kings of Leon
Jul 09 2026

It was pretty good, his voice kinda got on my nerves sometimes. Nothing truly special but cool to see a band come into their own.

Clandestino by Manu Chao
Jul 10 2026

Fun listen, I think my favorite track was the bongo song for obvious reasons. The shortness of the tracks was a good reprieve from some of these other albums.

Jul 14 2026

Boom Bap usually doesn't get me, but the flows and beats in this album are so catchy and quite technically impressive. I respect this album a lot, I think it deserves this score and could reasonably see giving it a 5.

Teen Dream by Beach House
Jul 15 2026

Beside the fact that Silver Soul is sampled in one of the greatest rap albums of all time, this album is wonderful. It's serene and strange, and I feel like it perfectly encapsulates what my summer feels like right now. What a treat to get this album.

White Ladder by David Gray
Jul 16 2026

I don’t really know why this is on the list but it’s not a bad album by any means. Just a little bit of the same over and over again, granted that little bit is very enjoyable

Freak Out! by The Mothers Of Invention
Jul 17 2026

This is a weird fucking album. Beatles if they did every drug on earth and decided to try to terrify the listener. Good shit though.

...And Justice For All by Metallica
Jul 20 2026

Solid, impressive instrumentals. Feels like music my dad would like

A Love Supreme by John Coltrane
Jul 21 2026

Oh hell yeah. Some motherfucking John Coltrane to start off my week. It’s gonna be a good day. It's just so fucking good

Fuzzy by Grant Lee Buffalo
Jul 22 2026

it's fine, I don't really know why it's on here. I guess 1993 was a slow year for music apart from wu tang and souvlaki.

Imperial Bedroom by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Jul 23 2026

pretty good but his voice just doesn't really get me. The instrumentation seems pretty lush but it's just kinda fine to me.

Henry's Dream by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Jul 24 2026

Some grating vocals and shanty-esque song structures make this kinda mid for me. I couldn't get into it by the end and it just doesn't strike me as something I'd like to listen to again. I'm sure they have other albums that are more approachable, but this one didn't tickle my fancy.

Superfly by Curtis Mayfield
Jul 27 2026

What a gentle voice that speaks on such pressing matters with a groovy and funky background track

Dub Housing by Pere Ubu
Jul 29 2026

This was good and weird. I liked it better than some of those rock albums but not the greatest thing ever

Madman Across The Water by Elton John
Jul 30 2026

In some ways, it just felt like Tiny Dancer 9 times. I really enjoyed the grandiosity of this album and the lyricism is quite nice as well!

The Soft Bulletin by The Flaming Lips
Jul 31 2026

Awesome stuff ngl. Oklahoma City should be proud

Jagged Little Pill by Alanis Morissette
Aug 04 2026

Cuz I’ve got one hand in my pocket and the other is strokin that shit crazy I love her lyrics so much and her neurotic voice is just the greatest. Some of the songs are skips but definitely worth a listen for the way she strikes at the angstiest of moments in everyone’s life. Going down on someone in a movie theater ain’t no joke.

Lazer Guided Melodies by Spiritualized
Aug 05 2026

Great album but it drags on for too long. Why did they need to count out all the fucking bars at the end. Please bro 😭 Very chill and good to have in the background while you’re tripping or something

Toys In The Attic by Aerosmith
Aug 06 2026

Good fine whatever sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet emooooooooooootiooooooon :)

Off The Wall by Michael Jackson
Aug 07 2026

Okay here we fucking go time for some good music. Mikey, who just so happens to be my favorite person who sleeps with kids in a bed, is here to show these fuckers how to write a song and sing. This album is really wonderful and groovy and funky and this man just has something special that no one else can really replicate.

Aug 11 2026

This album was recorded in a day what the fuck Redding's voice is just so iconic and pierces through any medium of separation between the speakers and your ears with ease. You can recognize his timbre from anywhere. Good album in general doe.

Highly Evolved by The Vines
Aug 12 2026

A decent alternative rock album, very grungy but also some classic rock influences. Not terrible but nothing too special other than some fun screaming which I always enjoy

Aug 13 2026

I truly really enjoyed this album. It felt like more than an album—a message, a letter to the reader, a declaration of self, an encapsulation of who Ice T is as a person. A culmination of everything he believes in. It’s defiant and certain. Yes, it’s long and filled with plenty of skits, but each one felt meaningful in their own way. Some were even comedic in a way that not a lot of skits usually hit me. I didn’t have high expectations for this album, to be honest, but it was a really pleasant surprise. It’s not experimental, but it feels boundary pushing in its own candid way. It’s as vulnerable as a 90’s gangster can be. I’m glad to have heard this album and Ice T has just gained another white boy fan, which I’m sure he loves.

Born In The U.S.A. by Bruce Springsteen
Aug 14 2026

So so good, I want to give it a 5 but I’m not sure I can do it. A very good album. And I love how patriotic the first track is!
