Popular Reviews

Hearts And Bones by Paul Simon

It's alright—nothing special. It somehow had an unintentional Caribbean feel to it that just felt out of place.

Innervisions by Stevie Wonder
May 23 2026

​"I totally respect Stevie Wonder's talent and his impact on music history, but this just isn't my personal vibe. The sound didn't really click with me. Respect the artist, but it's not my cup of tea

The Bends by Radiohead
May 25 2026

I Love IT!

Africa Brasil by Jorge Ben Jor
May 26 2026

Great vibes! I've never listened to this kind of Brazilian groove before, but it definitely put me in a good mood. Ended up saving a couple of tracks to my library. Really cool surprise and a well-deserved 3 stars

The Chronic by Dr. Dre
May 27 2026

A piece of music history, I love this album!

Sticky Fingers by The Rolling Stones
May 28 2026

I love the Stones—specifically *Sticky Fingers*. It was the first Stones album I ever listened to in its entirety, and I’m absolutely blown away—if only by those killer guitar riffs

Electric Prunes by The Electric Prunes
May 29 2026

Solide psychedelic album not special

Neon Bible by Arcade Fire
May 30 2026

A few of the songs are really good, while others aren't—but I can't give it more than 3 stars. It's a pretty good indie album.

Music From Big Pink by The Band
May 31 2026

A few good songs on there, but not quite my vibe.

Olympia 64 by Jacques Brel
Jun 01 2026

Well, it's not for me; the first two songs were enough—I didn't listen to the whole thing.

Bryter Layter by Nick Drake
Jun 02 2026

I simply don't like Nick Drake's voice or singing style, and I find the album really boring—you keep waiting for something to happen, but nothing ever does. The only song on the album that I actually like is "Hazey Jane II

Queens of the Stone Age by Queens Of The Stone Age
Jun 03 2026

It's a good rock album, though I find that many of the songs sound similar—but it was fun to listen to.

White Light by Gene Clark
Jun 04 2026

It’s a solid album and it was fun to listen to. Saved a few tracks for my playlist, but nothing life-changing. A good 3/5."

Psychocandy by The Jesus And Mary Chain
Jun 05 2026

Loved the melodies, but the constant guitar feedback made it a pretty exhausting listen. Still a really cool and unique album. A solid 4/5.

Abraxas by Santana
Jun 06 2026

An absolute 5/5 masterpiece. I used to think Santana was just one guy, but this album proves what an incredibly tight band they are. The guitar work is legendary, but the piano and organ sections really blew me away and carry the whole groove. A perfect record

Vespertine by Björk
Jun 08 2026

A solid 3/5. I'm a big Massive Attack fan and originally expected more of that classic 90s trip-hop vibe from Björk here. The electronic micro-beats were a bit too fragile for my personal taste, but the production is undeniably great. Not every song was for me, but I still found 3 or 4 really good tracks that I saved for my playlist

Disintegration by The Cure
Jun 09 2026

An incredibly atmospheric and moody record. I saved almost the entire tracklist because the production and the dark vibe are just amazing. It's a bit long and maybe a bit too heavy for everyday listening to be a perfect 5, but still a brilliant experience.

Natty Dread by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Jun 10 2026

A huge change of pace. I respect the legendary status of Bob Marley and the reggae vibes are incredibly chill, but the whole album was a bit too relaxed for my everyday listening. Still, I saved 3 classic tracks including 'No Woman No Cry' for my playlist. A solid 3/5.

Jun 11 2026

The perfect redemption after rating 'Lady Soul' a bit too low! This album is an absolute soul classic. I saved 8 tracks for my personal playlist, including 'Respect' and 'A Change Is Gonna Come'. The vibes are immaculate. A very strong 4/5.

Hearts And Bones by Paul Simon
Jun 12 2026

It's alright—nothing special. It somehow had an unintentional Caribbean feel to it that just felt out of place.

War by U2
Jun 13 2026

The first half of this album is absolute post-punk perfection. The raw, driving energy and military-style drums create exactly the kind of dark, aggressive atmosphere I love. I honestly thought I was listening to a 5/5 masterpiece because the A-side is incredibly strong, especially 'New Year's Day'. But the B-side completely lost me. It dropped that intense energy entirely and felt like a huge drop-off. Still, the first five tracks are legendary and went straight into my playlist. A solid 4/5

Time Out Of Mind by Bob Dylan
Jun 14 2026

Time Out of Mind is the first Bob Dylan album I’ve listened to, and I’m surprised it didn’t bore me—I actually really liked it! At times, it reminded me of Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds and soundtracks like Peaky Blinders. I’m a big fan of melancholic and vulnerable music, and this album really resonated with me.solide 4

Lost In The Dream by The War On Drugs
Jun 15 2026

"I have to admit, I was already familiar with this album, but listening to it again just confirms its status as an absolute 5/5 masterpiece. Tracks like 'Under The Pressure' and 'Red Eyes' have this incredible, relentless forward momentum that I absolutely love. It perfectly balances that driving, energetic beat with a massive, melancholic 'night-drive' atmosphere. The way the vocals blend into the mix, acting almost like another instrument, creates a dreamy wall of sound that completely pulls you in. A flawless record from start to finish.

xx by The xx
Jun 16 2026

There are definitely a few really good tracks on this album that I enjoyed and added to my playlist. The minimalist, atmospheric vibe is cool at first. However, my main issue is that almost all the songs sound exactly the same. The lack of variety makes it feel a bit monotonous over the full runtime. It’s a cool signature sound, but just too repetitive for me to rate it any higher. A solid 3/5.

All Directions by The Temptations
Jun 17 2026

"I have to be honest, classic 70s soul and R&B just isn't my genre. The softer tracks and ballads on this album simply didn't click with me at all because they lack the darker, more energetic edge I usually look for in music. However, I have to give massive credit to 'Papa Was A Rollin' Stone'. That track is an absolute masterpiece. The dark, cinematic atmosphere and that relentless, driving bassline over the full 11 minutes perfectly hit my vibe. But since that was the only song I actually saved from the entire record, I have to settle for a 2/5

New York Dolls by New York Dolls
Jun 18 2026

As a big post-punk fan, I really enjoyed this album. While not every single track is an absolute masterpiece, it's a very strong record overall and just a lot of fun to listen to. A well-deserved 4/5.

Destroyer by KISS
Jun 19 2026

"I can definitely see where the 'cover band' criticisms for this group come from. For the most part, this album is just way too cheesy, theatrical, and overproduced for my taste. It completely lacks the raw energy or darker, atmospheric edge I usually look for in music. However, I have to admit that 'Detroit Rock City' is a solid, driving rock anthem, and 'God Of Thunder' actually has a fantastic heavy, menacing riff that completely caught my attention. I saved those two tracks, but the rest of the record is just not for me. A fair 2/5

Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs by Derek & The Dominos
Jun 20 2026

I actually really like guitar-heavy music, but this album didn't move me at all—apart from "Layla," there's really nothing special about it. I find the album very overrated.

Jun 21 2026

That album really surprised me; I thought the mix of soul and hip-hop was really good. The beats—especially the ones with guitar, like the track with Santana—were fantastic. Not every song was great, though; I didn't like the one with D'Angelo at all. Still, the album as a whole is really fun.

Let's Get It On by Marvin Gaye
Jun 22 2026

It’s simply not my taste in music—it’s just too soft for me—but I have to say one thing: Marvin Gaye has a great voice.

Blackstar by David Bowie
Jun 23 2026

I’m outing myself as a David Bowie fanboy. This album isn't his best, but it is the saddest; "Lazarus" is one of my all-time favorite songs of his. Even though not every track is quite my cup of tea, it’s a worthy farewell from this genius.

The Slim Shady LP by Eminem
Jun 24 2026

I love Eminem—he's my favorite rapper—but I don't think this album is his best. I definitely prefer the sadder, more depressed and melancholic Eminem over this crazy, cartoonish style. Plus, I find the skits really annoying since they just interrupt the flow. I still saved the darker tracks like 'Rock Bottom' and 'If I Had' because they fit my vibe, but overall it's not my favorite record of his.

Sea Change by Beck
Jun 25 2026

I love melancholic music; I thought the first half of the album was great, with its minimalist acoustic guitar and electronic influences

Suicide by Suicide
Jun 26 2026

total nonsense

Jun 27 2026

What can I say – just sit back and enjoy this album. The instrumentation and the 'beats' are absolutely outstanding. I love everything about this record, and somehow it reminds me in parts of Pink Floyd, one of my favorite bands. I'm usually not a fan of funk or soul at all, but this album is just different. A masterpiece.

Jun 28 2026

Pretty boring, and secondly, I’m not a country fan; a few of the instruments are actually cool, but I wouldn’t listen to it a second time

Veckatimest by Grizzly Bear
Jun 29 2026

I'm actually a big indie rock fan, but this album is nothing but boring; it was really a chore to listen to.

Music for the Masses by Depeche Mode
Jun 30 2026

Somehow, I just can't seem to warm up to Depeche Mode, even though a few individual songs on this album are actually really good."

Ágætis Byrjun by Sigur Rós
Jul 01 2026

For me, it’s an absolute masterpiece from start to finish. The combination of orchestral arrangements and electronic influences is top-notch, and the overall vibe just feels perfectly right. It plays like a brilliant blend of Pink Floyd and Radiohead. 5/5.

evermore by Taylor Swift
Jul 02 2026

I’m not going to out myself as a Swiftie; I mean, I imagined it would be worse, but it’s just not my cup of tea.

Scissor Sisters by Scissor Sisters
Jul 03 2026

This album features one of the best songs of all time, but it’s not by the Scissor Sisters... But I really have to say, listening to the album was fun and there are a few good songs on it; it really surprised me.

Fear Of Music by Talking Heads
Jul 04 2026

A few songs are good, too, but I think the album is mainly overrated, especially when I look at the 4.00 rating on Rate Your Music.

Aftermath by The Rolling Stones
Jul 05 2026

Yeah, I’m a Rolling Stones and Beatles fanboy (yes, that’s possible); this is a solid album, though I find *Sticky Fingers* quite a bit better. I don’t get the hate for the Stones at all—come on, Mick and Keith are the coolest people on earth.

Woodface by Crowded House
Jul 06 2026

It's a solid album, but nothing special.

Jul 07 2026

Sam Cooke is cool! I first heard the music from that album in the brilliant opening scene of the movie *Ali* (Will Smith) and loved it—I’ve listened to it so often for motivation while running.

Parachutes by Coldplay
Jul 08 2026

Like Coldplay’s early days—before they went mainstream. With this album, I get the feeling they were still searching for their sound a bit; don't get me wrong, it’s a solid album with some good songs, but I think the follow-up is their masterpiece. But one thing has to be said: Coldplay aren't like fine wine—they haven't aged well. ⭐⭐⭐

A Wizard, A True Star by Todd Rundgren
Jul 10 2026

Unfortunately, I couldn't do anything with it; one star because it might be cool if you're on drugs (though I don't do drugs anymore, unfortunately).

Queen II by Queen
Jul 11 2026

I actually love Queen, but I didn't really enjoy that album.

Sign 'O' The Times by Prince
Jul 12 2026

I think Price is pretty cool, even if his music isn't quite my taste, and you have to appreciate his talent for instruments.

Imperial Bedroom by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Jul 13 2026

Not for me—boring, like Taylor Swift.

So by Peter Gabriel
Jul 14 2026

I like the hypnotic, calm songs, but the poppier ones less so; all in all, a solid album.

Porcupine by Echo And The Bunnymen
Jul 15 2026

It's alright—kind of like a bad sibling of U2 and The Cure.

Deep Purple In Rock by Deep Purple
Jul 16 2026

I don't really like hard rock that much, but Deep Purple is awesome.

Fisherman's Blues by The Waterboys
Jul 17 2026

A very good album—it was fun to listen to—but it was a bit too long; all those different versions could have been left out.

2112 by Rush
Jul 18 2026

I'm actually a fan of progressive rock, but I just didn't feel this album at all.

Shaka Zulu by Ladysmith Black Mambazo
Jul 20 2026

Schnarch schnarch Wake me up when the album is over.

Kenya by Machito
Jul 22 2026

I mean, I like chill jazz, but that wasn't for me—it felt like a movie called *Stan and Laurel in Kenya*

Lam Toro by Baaba Maal
Jul 24 2026

It's alright, but I wouldn't listen to it again.

All Hope Is Gone by Slipknot
Jul 26 2026

You either love it or hate it; I’m the second type.

KIWANUKA by Michael Kiwanuka
Jul 27 2026

I'm not really a big soul fan, but this album is actually pretty good.

Endtroducing..... by DJ Shadow
Jul 28 2026

A masterpiece—though I don't think every single song is good, and I can understand if someone doesn't like it all that much.

Talking Heads 77 by Talking Heads
Jul 29 2026

I don't like the Talking Heads, and I'm not going to become a fan of theirs, either.

1999 by Prince
Aug 01 2026

I already had Prince's *Sign o' the Times*—that was actually pretty okay—but this album here wasn't for me.

Vivid by Living Colour
Aug 02 2026

I didn't think it was good, but I didn't think it was bad either; I won't listen to it again, and by tomorrow I'll have already forgotten it.

Slayed? by Slade
Aug 03 2026

ITs okay

Queen Of Denmark by John Grant
Aug 05 2026

Wow, holy shit—what a load of crap.

Channel Orange by Frank Ocean
Aug 06 2026

To be honest, I gave it a listen, but I’m not going to waste my time listening to the whole thing; there’s one thing to be said about it: it’s cheesy.

Led Zeppelin II by Led Zeppelin
Aug 07 2026

I didn't think I liked Led Zeppelin that much at first, but that album proved me wrong.

A Love Supreme by John Coltrane
Aug 08 2026

Technically superb, but not to my taste.

Moondance by Van Morrison
Aug 10 2026

is nothing special

Underwater Moonlight by The Soft Boys
Aug 12 2026

Here's a tip: listen to the remastered version—it has 10 songs, just like the original, unlike the 2-hour one.

Red Dirt Girl by Emmylou Harris
Aug 13 2026

It's pretty okay; it's listenable.

Elephant by The White Stripes
Aug 15 2026

It's pretty okay.
