Popular Reviews

Tapestry by Carole King

Wasn’t really my thing. I didn’t connect with it, and it didn’t hold my interest. I’d give it 2 out of 5 stars. It’s your aunties favourite album. But also the one she listens two when your uncle has left her

Very funk / jazz. Not for me at all Some of the tracks went on for ever and never really went anywhere. Feels like he was just singing over the music rather than in time with it, felt like more of an improv jam than a planned album. 2/5

One of the most important albums of the 90’s. One of the most important albums of my life. Stand the test of time to this day

All Ratings (65)

Transformer by Lou Reed
May 03 2026

Not really my thing too slow and a bit boring. Like a few of the hits, some I didn’t know he sang 2/5

Here's Little Richard by Little Richard
May 06 2026

Tracks are all very samey, reminded me of the music the band played in back to the future 1. Lol had a similar sound Not for me

Vol. 4 by Black Sabbath
May 07 2026

Couple of decent tracks like Supernaut & Cornocopia but overall not really my thing 2/5

Tapestry by Carole King
May 08 2026

Wasn’t really my thing. I didn’t connect with it, and it didn’t hold my interest. I’d give it 2 out of 5 stars. It’s your aunties favourite album. But also the one she listens two when your uncle has left her

Ten by Pearl Jam
May 09 2026

Decent album with some good guitar solos and good tracks

69 Love Songs by The Magnetic Fields
May 10 2026

Hated it with the fire of a thousand suns. I am only giving this album one star, because I can’t give it anything lower. This album stole 11.80% of a day of my life. I’ve never heard of it or that band before and never want to ever again. Ever

Franz Ferdinand by Franz Ferdinand
May 11 2026

Great album. Not listened to it I full in ages. Was a walk down memory lane

Tres Hombres by ZZ Top
May 12 2026

I actually quite liked Tres Hombres. Tracks like ‘La Grange’ really stand out. I wouldn’t say it’s perfect, but I did enjoy it, so I’d give it a 3 out of 5. Very bluesy and rocky

Beauty And The Beat by The Go-Go's
May 13 2026

Like it more than I thought I would. Some good tracks but over all a bit too pop musicy for me. Needs to be 2/5 as I probably wouldn’t choose to listen to it again but if it was in I wouldn’t complain about it 2/5 stars pushing for 3

Space Ritual by Hawkwind
May 14 2026

Just wasn’t for me at all. Far too long, repetitive and full of drawn out spacey jams that never really seemed to go anywhere. This felt more focused on atmosphere and weird noises than actual memorable music. Ended up being a complete slog to get through. 1/5 starts for me

Quiet Life by Japan
May 15 2026

Very easy to see that Duran, Duran stole a lot of ideas from these guys! If you didn’t know any better you’d think it was them. Not a bad album

Heroes by David Bowie
May 16 2026

Not a Bowie fan at all. Hoped this would be good but Nah. Very boring. A good few of the tracks have no lyrics, just trippy instrumentals. Bowie is massively overhyped in my opinion. Maybe it’s an age thing. He had 5 no 1’s. Released 26 albums, 12 of which without a top ten hit. This one was 1/5 for me

I See You by The xx
May 17 2026

I’m 16 albums in to this now and yet another album I have to ask the question, why do I need to listen to this before I die? Can think of some artists poorer albums that are better than most on here I’ve reviewed so far. Not a dig at the site, I know it’s created from the book. It’s just filler music, it has no substance or weight, the lyrics are garbage and make little sense It’s instantly forgettable

Rhythm Nation 1814 by Janet Jackson
May 18 2026

Sounded like a knock off Michael Jackson album at times. Didn’t hate it but didn’t like it. 2/5

First Band On The Moon by The Cardigans
May 19 2026

One of the lyrics to a track on this album was ‘that’s what you call a waste of time’. That’s exactly what this album was, apart from Lovefool

Loveless by My Bloody Valentine
May 20 2026

It was mostly just noise and a real struggle to listen to. You couldn’t hear the lyrics. Not sure that is intentional? It was a struggle

Physical Graffiti by Led Zeppelin
May 21 2026

One of those albums where the highs are ridiculous, but it definitely drags in places. Some of the riffs are unreal and it’s got a dirty, heavy sound. Some songs are far too long. 3/5

Rid Of Me by PJ Harvey
May 22 2026

Angry girl music. Not for me

2112 by Rush
May 23 2026

The first track is 16 mins long which boils my blood. Over all it’s ok. Some good guitar work, could be better

Cosmo's Factory by Creedence Clearwater Revival
May 24 2026

Good album, CCWR was on all the time when I was growing up, a 3/5 for me

This Is Fats Domino by Fats Domino
May 26 2026

Didn’t hate it, wouldn’t pick it. VERY dated. Just not my thing. 2/5

May 28 2026

Very funk / jazz. Not for me at all Some of the tracks went on for ever and never really went anywhere. Feels like he was just singing over the music rather than in time with it, felt like more of an improv jam than a planned album. 2/5

May 30 2026

Cracker of an album. Forgot how good it was, hadn’t listened to it in years. Every track is a belter

The Good, The Bad & The Queen by The Good, The Bad & The Queen
Jun 01 2026

Instantly recognised Damon Albans voice and instantly slipped into a coma Instantly forgettable

Gasoline Alley by Rod Stewart
Jun 03 2026

Like a lot of Rod Stewart’s more popular stuff, but this was particularly meh

Olympia 64 by Jacques Brel
Jun 04 2026

Absolute shite. Why is this an album I MUST LISTEN TO BEFORE I DIE? Why why why why?????

Legalize It by Peter Tosh
Jun 05 2026

Only listened to 3 tracks which was plenty. It’s a firm no from me.

Sticky Fingers by The Rolling Stones
Jun 06 2026

Ok album but that’s all. A hit straight down the middle. 3/5

The Rise & Fall by Madness
Jun 07 2026

Decent 80’ album with some of their big hits on there, most of the tracks I hadn’t heard of but was probably in keeping with what I would expect to be ‘their style. Solid 3/5

Phrenology by The Roots
Jun 08 2026

Maybe 25 years ago, but not today

Zombie by Fela Kuti
Jun 09 2026

Pointless Hate albums with very long tracks Hate albums with hardly any lyrics Hated it

Born In The U.S.A. by Bruce Springsteen
Jun 10 2026

An ok album propped up by some of the very big hits

Paul Simon by Paul Simon
Jun 11 2026

Pointless music. I don’t like Simon & Garfunkel so it’s hardly surprising that I don’t like Simon without Garfunkel.

Goo by Sonic Youth
Jun 12 2026

An album of two halves. The first half was very punk with a lot of energy the second half at descended into a chaotic rabble Reading the reviews it says that this is not the best album which is encouraging 3/5

Jun 19 2026

Yet another album that is absolutely awful. And another album I’m wondering WHY is this in this list? Why must I listen to this before I die 💀☠️

Jun 23 2026

One of the most important albums of the 90’s. One of the most important albums of my life. Stand the test of time to this day

Suzanne Vega by Suzanne Vega
Jun 25 2026

Sounds like a less scatty Phoebe buffey from friends. But not as good and not as fun.

Electric Ladyland by Jimi Hendrix
Jul 01 2026

A bit too psychedelic and the bluey for me

Leftism by Leftfield
Jul 02 2026

Not my thing at all

Hypnotised by The Undertones
Jul 03 2026

It was meh

Logical Progression by LTJ Bukem
Jul 08 2026

Ain’t no way I’m listening to 3.5 hours of instrumentals another shit album on this list

Idlewild by Everything But The Girl
Jul 09 2026

Was like background music that you would find in a restaurant in a foreign country who just wanted to play something in English. Only knew one of their songs, and I didn’t know they sang it. Background music

evermore by Taylor Swift
Jul 10 2026

Actually wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be, better than most of the shit I’ve had to listen to on here

Guero by Beck
Jul 14 2026

Wasn’t very good, I was bored

Axis: Bold As Love by Jimi Hendrix
Jul 15 2026

Just don’t get Jimi Hendrix at all. Was boring

Tanto Tempo by Bebel Gilberto
Jul 17 2026

Not in English, not interested

Bad by Michael Jackson
Jul 21 2026

Great album. Shame about the guy singing it

At Fillmore East by The Allman Brothers Band
Aug 11 2026

Would have been a three if the tracks weren’t so damn long

Hysteria by Def Leppard
Aug 14 2026

Not for me
