Popular Reviews

En-Tact by The Shamen

15 songs Holy slop. This is the sort of shit that your 40 year old coworker who goes to 3 daytime raves a year would blast at work and then would swear to god that this music was THE SHIT back in the 90s and you don't get it because you simply weren't there. Hope you enjoy the line "I can move move move any mountain" (it sure does seem like they were quite proud of it), BECAUSE YOU WILL HEAR THAT SHIT ON 3 DIFFERENT SONGS. FUCK YOU!!! The scots used to give us lads like William Wallace and Robert the Bruce! Oh, how the mighty have fallen. Also, 666 Edit can suck me a fat one.

Ten by Pearl Jam

11 songs This gets 3 stars just for Black alone, a 4th one for skating Jesus, and the 5th for the album being called ten but actually having eleven songs.

Stardust by Willie Nelson
May 25 2026

10 songs Nothing added to my playlist unfortunately. Didn't hate it, but also no song I would seek out again. Pretty good background music for fishing in Club Penguin.

Superfly by Curtis Mayfield
May 26 2026

9 songs Not any particular song I would return to, but the album as a whole was quite enjoyable.

Giant Steps by The Boo Radleys
May 27 2026

17 songs No song I'd return to, nor any one song that I can remember a melody or riff from. Nothing too terrible, just a bit of britpop slop innit?

Teenage Head by Flamin' Groovies
May 28 2026

16 songs Added to liked: -Whiskey Woman

Yeezus by Kanye West
May 29 2026

10 songs Musically cool (except for Bound 2, that shit blows), but unfortunately I found kanye's lyrics to be pretty trash on this album. If you ignore the actual lyrical content, the vibe is pretty good, probably would have been a 4/5.

Doolittle by Pixies
Jun 01 2026

15 songs The songs being so short they all kind of blend into one another. Quite a good listen as an album, but I don't know how much I would enjoy each individual song otherwise

The Fat Of The Land by The Prodigy
Jun 02 2026

10 songs Added to liked: -Breathe -Firestarter (Already there) P.S. The transition from Narayan to Firestarter slaps

461 Ocean Boulevard by Eric Clapton
Jun 03 2026

10 songs I see a lot of people giving this a 1 star rating because of Clapton as a person. I think that defeats the purpose of this project, and I try to separate the artist from the art. Unfortunately for Clapton, the art is also pretty cheeks in this case. Influential guitarist with plenty of great songs in his catalogue, but this album is the musical equivalent of unseasoned chicken breast.

En-Tact by The Shamen
Jun 04 2026

15 songs Holy slop. This is the sort of shit that your 40 year old coworker who goes to 3 daytime raves a year would blast at work and then would swear to god that this music was THE SHIT back in the 90s and you don't get it because you simply weren't there.

Sail Away by Randy Newman
Jun 05 2026

17 songs Can't say there is any song I'd choose to listen to again, but it wasn't a bad listening experience honestly. I'd say that the lyrics are the highlight overall, Randy seems to have one of those voices that can be very polarizing, but fortunately it didn't bother me.

Madman Across The Water by Elton John
Jun 08 2026

9 songs Added to liked: -Tiny Dancer (already knew the song) Never been a big Elton John guy, the man undeniably has some bangers here and there, but not a massive enjoyer of his overall discography. Don't hate it either, just middle of the road with some great songs sprinkled throughout.

The Suburbs by Arcade Fire
Jun 09 2026

16 songs Added to liked: -The Suburbs (already there) -Suburban War

The Velvet Underground by The Velvet Underground
Jun 10 2026

10 songs So funny story, there's this video called Jesus' betrayal: What really went down. Don't mean to spoil too much but that bitch ass judas tries to sell Jesus to the feds. At the end of the video the song Jesus from this album plays. My dumbass lived for 4 years believing that song was an original made for that video. Now imagine my surprise when I listen to this album and I reach that heavenly tune.

Stephen Stills by Stephen Stills
Jun 11 2026

10 songs Bland fuckin nothing burger of an album. To me those are worse than the actual bad ones, because nothing is offensive, just incredibly uninteresting.

Jun 12 2026

14 songs Not necessarily my type of music, but the album as a whole is a lot of fun actually. A lot of the times the songs just seamlessly blend into one another, which is something I really liked.

Moondance by Van Morrison
Jun 15 2026

10 songs Some pretty decent Club Penguin pizza parlor or coffee shop songs in here. Other than that, not much

Remain In Light by Talking Heads
Jun 16 2026

12 songs Every song was pretty tiring to get through ngl. Now, put 12 of them back to back, and you can imagine how much of a joy this was.

Unhalfbricking by Fairport Convention
Jun 17 2026

8 songs When I saw a band that I didn't know from the 60s that played folk rock I went into this expecting it to be a boring slog. I was very pleasantly surprised to find that it wasn't the case at all, really enjoyed this one, very reminiscent of Led Zep.

Trout Mask Replica by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
Jun 18 2026

I have finally been blessed by the magic carp with its presence. Listen man, I can sort of get it. I listened to the whole thing, and I really tried to be ACTIVELY listening, not just using this as background noise. But my god, it still felt like noise for the majority of the time, it's redeeming quality is that sometimes this is downright hilarious to listen to. Sorry Captain Beefheart :(

Ten by Pearl Jam
Jun 19 2026

11 songs This gets 3 stars just for Black alone, a 4th one for skating Jesus, and the 5th for the album being called ten but actually having eleven songs.

Franz Ferdinand by Franz Ferdinand
Jun 22 2026

11 songs Apart from Take Me Out, which everyone and their grandma already knows, I really enjoyed the rest of the album as well. Found quite a lot of Muse's sound in plenty of their songs, and for me that can only be a compliment.

Maggot Brain by Funkadelic
Jun 23 2026

10 songs but only 7 available on Spotify :( Yeah this album fucks. The night before I got this album was pretty rough and really had me feeling down. The opening song, with its psychedelic guitar playing, induced a very introspective state and really resonated with me, and that alone was worth at least 4 stars. The rest of the album went in a different direction, but was still very enjoyable (except for maybe Wars of Armageddon, but 3 days before this I got the fuckin trout album, so this is very tame in comparison). Maybe on a different day I would have rated this one star lower, but I really needed this today. Thank you Funkadelic.

Blue Lines by Massive Attack
Jun 24 2026

9 songs I was familiar with some songs from their other albums, and while I'd say that those are an improvement, this wasn't a bad debut album at all. Unfinished Sympathy is the highlight of the album, but all the other songs are pretty good as well!

Wonderful Rainbow by Lightning Bolt
Jun 25 2026

10 songs First song I thought oh shit this is going to be fucking miserable to get through. Then came along songs 2 and 3, which had some resemblance of actual song structure, so I thought hey, you know what? this could actually get a 3 star rating. But then, the intro to 2 Towers attacked, and the album never managed to make a comeback. While listening to this a neighbour was drilling some holes in his walls and I unironically couldn't tell sometimes whether the sound was him or from my headphones.

Fear Of Music by Talking Heads
Jun 26 2026

15 songs I don't even know what to think of this album. It wasn't bad, but gun to my head I wouldn't be able to hum a single song after an hour had passed. So, because of that, I cannot rate it any higher than a 3.

1984 by Van Halen
Jun 29 2026

9 songs EVH is a great guitarist, but hair metal has never been my thing. The overly enthusiastic tone of a lot of the songs just doesn't hit right for me, idk why, but it seems like almost a parody of the genre itself. Can't give it lower than 3 stars though, as the music is not bad, just not my cup of tea.

Aja by Steely Dan
Jun 30 2026

7 songs A gay little jazz rock album. Superb choice for Club Penguin Pizza Parlor background music.

The Boatman's Call by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Jul 01 2026

12 songs After what felt like an hour, I realized I had only made it to the fifth song, and I think this sums up the album pretty well.

Aftermath by The Rolling Stones
Jul 02 2026

11 songs Paint It, Black is a 5/5 song, that's for sure, but other than that, I found the album to be pretty mediocre. Also worth mentioning that I listened to the US version, which I think is superior, as the UK version didn't have Paint It, Black and was a bit more bloated.

Among The Living by Anthrax
Jul 03 2026

9 songs The instrumentals are great, and I generally enjoyed the songs. My only gripe is that the vocals don't have as much bite or grit as I feel like the songs deserve and need. Joey's voice is very Iron Maiden like, and the instrumentation underneath doesn't really complement it; I think John Bush's voice fits Anthrax a lot better imho.

Birth Of The Cool by Miles Davis
Jul 06 2026

12 songs WOO-OOH MAMA!!! Now this, THIS is Club Penguin coffee shop music! Yes, sir, indeed! Nothing else compares! Smooth like butter, a sonic taste most sublime! Top 3 Club Penguin soundtracks right here!

Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd
Jul 07 2026

5 songs What can I even say that hasn't already been said about this album? Not my first time listening to it, but I'm not complaining at all. Absolute masterpiece, and like most Pink Floyd albums, it is best listened to as a whole, despite every song being more than capable of standing up on its own.

Abattoir Blues / The Lyre of Orpheus by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Jul 08 2026

17 songs My second Nick Cave album within a span of about one week. I just think his music is pretty slow, and not in an atmospheric or interesting way, but rather in a boring, dragging slog type of way. It probably would have gotten a 3 if not for the horrendously long runtime.

At Newport 1960 by Muddy Waters
Jul 09 2026

13 songs Impossible to listen to this without tapping your foot and making the meanest stank face. An absolute blast to listen to.

Berlin by Lou Reed
Jul 10 2026

10 songs Just doesn't do it for me, Lou's voice and his style of speak-singing especially aren't my favorite. I can see what it's trying to do, and I'm sure there are people out there that really enjoy this album, but to me it's just a bit of a slow drag.

Hot Rats by Frank Zappa
Jul 13 2026

6 songs I knew Zappa was a geat guitarist, but whenever I tried to listen to some of his work, it was very tedious. This album is very much the same, although it has enough pleasant sections to warrant it 3 stars. It ranges from groovy and fun to boring and dragging several times just within one song. Pretty good as background music, but I found actively listening to some of the longer songs to be tiring.

Physical Graffiti by Led Zeppelin
Jul 14 2026

15 songs Damn good album. The first 6 songs are one of the strongest starts to an album I've ever heard. Any one of those songs would have been a defining hit for any other band, but for Led Zeppelin they are just part of a looong list of great songs. While the rest of the album isn't quite as strong as the beggining, it's still very solid, and it doesn't bring the rating to lower than a 9/10 for me.

A Seat at the Table by Solange
Jul 15 2026

21 songs The most mid to ever mid. Nothing stands out, just a way too long album for how boring it is.

Jul 16 2026

12 songs Actually really good. I had never listened to any of Love's music prior to this, and for some reason I had this idea in my head that it must've sucked. Pleasantly surprised to say that I was wrong!

Sweet Baby James by James Taylor
Jul 17 2026

11 songs Safe, bland, sounds how wet bread tastes. Its only quality is that it's quite short.

McCartney by Paul McCartney
Jul 22 2026

13 songs This felt like sitting next to Paul as he's showing you some songs he's been working on on his guitar. It's lo-fi, intimate, quite enjoyable, but at the same time the songs as a whole are quite forgettable. Just like listening to your friend doodle on his guitar, you will enjoy the overall experience, but most likely won't be able to remember much of it, besides a few melodies here and there.

Kollaps by Einstürzende Neubauten
Jul 29 2026

23 songs This is such an unhinged album, it's actually hysterical. The title track was also almost somewhat musical, and it said Genghis Khan a few times, so there's that, I guess. I can't give it a one star rating because it was at least an interesting listening experience, but I also can't give it more than 2, because I won't return to anything from this.

Elvis Is Back by Elvis Presley
Jul 30 2026

12 songs My first Elvis album, before listening to this I knew only the greatest hits. It's nothing to write home about, and definitely not worth fainting over, but it's not bad either. Just a middle of the road album.

Music for the Masses by Depeche Mode
Jul 31 2026

14 songs One of my favorite bands, and although I prefer their following album more, Music for the Masses still provides a very solid track list. Never Let Me Down Again is one of their best songs imo, so it's very hard not to give this a high rating.

Cloud Nine by The Temptations
Aug 03 2026

10 songs Heard a lot of their music as my dad used to play it semi regularly when I was younger and I've always enjoyed their work. No song on this album really stood out to me, but it was solid overall.

Superunknown by Soundgarden
Aug 04 2026

15 songs Man, Chris Cornell had one of the most hauntingly beautiful voices ever. A few filler songs, but the great songs, general atmosphere of the album + Chris's voice more than make up for it.

Are You Experienced by Jimi Hendrix
Aug 05 2026

17 songs It's Hendrix. Are there players nowadays which are above him on a technical level? Of course, tens of thousands of them, and they can probably shred faster than Hendrix could ever hope to. But I'm willing to bet that most of them play the guitar, at least in part, due to Hendrix. And I am 100% certain that no other guitar player has had as big of an impact on the instrument as Hendrix. Legendary album.

Legalize It by Peter Tosh
Aug 06 2026

10 songs Yo dis a great mi man wa fi listen tuh dis pan di beach getting absolutely fry yuh feel mi

The Poet by Bobby Womack
Aug 07 2026

8 songs As Richard Cheese famously exclaimed on his eloquent cover of the hit song My Neck, My Back: Lick my pussy, Bobby!

Bookends by Simon & Garfunkel
Aug 10 2026

12 songs A rushed and bizzare side A, with a pretty standard Simon & Garfunkel side B. Mrs. Robinson is definitely the highlight of the album.

The Köln Concert by Keith Jarrett
Aug 11 2026

4 songs Stuff like this is what makes this project so great. Never would I have sought out something like this on my own. And while inevitably an hour long piano concert will become background music every now and then, it's very, very pleasant. Reading the story also transformed this from just good music into an incredibly impressive performance. Also extra score for the random OHs and YEAHs. Truly a master who is taken aback by his own greatness.

Gorillaz by Gorillaz
Aug 12 2026

17 songs My first time listening to a full Gorillaz album, as I only knew their more popular songs before this, including a couple from this album. To be honest the album is a bit all over the place, and I don't know whether that's a plus or not. It kind of works, the songs themselves are good, but at the same time the overall direction of the album doesn't seem coherent to me, so it just ends up being a little bit messy. Still, overall I enjoyed it, I just think that the mess stops it from being a 5 star for me.

Savane by Ali Farka Touré
Aug 13 2026

13 songs Another album that I wouldn't have discovered otherwise. The songs can get a bit repetitive after a while, which sometimes made it become just background music. That being said, really good vibe, great guitar playing, and it had such a nice blend of blues, African rhythms and what felt like even Arabian influences sometimes.

A Girl Called Dusty by Dusty Springfield
Aug 14 2026

20 songs Lovely voice! The songs were enjoyable overall, but not really the sort of music I'd return back to.

Raw Power by The Stooges
Aug 17 2026

8 songs Fun and energetic, just something short and sweet to get you pumped up.

This Is Fats Domino by Fats Domino
Aug 18 2026

14 songs Ahh yes, quite exquisite music for the Club Penguin Ski Lodge! Short and sweet songs, had a real good time listening to this
