Popular Reviews

Kid A by Radiohead

Radiohead really don't get enough credit for the amount of filler they can fit into an album.

All Ratings (43)

Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath
Jul 03 2026

A lot of solos. Very iconic for the time. Feels dated now.

Bitches Brew by Miles Davis
Jul 04 2026

I understand Miles Davis is iconic... but jazz is for music nerds and the mentally insane.

Pretenders by Pretenders
Jul 06 2026

I hear a lot of what I like in this but it doesn't quite land.

Synchronicity by The Police
Jul 07 2026

A lot of drugs went into a generation for people to think this was good.

Phrenology by The Roots
Jul 09 2026

Far too many N words for the nursery drop off.

1999 by Prince
Jul 10 2026

I can just imagine the excitement of listening to this in 1999

White Ladder by David Gray
Jul 12 2026

I know more of these songs than I thought I would.

KIWANUKA by Michael Kiwanuka
Jul 13 2026

Feels like I'm listening to a 70s movie soundtrack

Disraeli Gears by Cream
Jul 14 2026

Some bangers but a lot of filler

Winter In America by Gil Scott-Heron
Jul 15 2026

Oh to be sat in a piano bar, drinking martinis and flirting. Cool cats in every booth.

21 by Adele
Jul 16 2026

It's a banging album. Doesn't sit in a genre I particularly like but you can tell it has been written and produced by incredible talents and Adele is undoubtedly a great singer.

Good Old Boys by Randy Newman
Jul 17 2026

Some shocking, jarring language that I find surprising even for the time. He definitely has a format that he's following. Bit of an era/culture shock but otherwise mildly entertaining.

The Wall by Pink Floyd
Jul 18 2026

Great album but a hell of a lot of filler. It's a rock opera by the end. Can't say I'm a fan of the fade out... but it's of it's time.

Walking Wounded by Everything But The Girl
Jul 19 2026

Brilliant album if what you want is to be bored for 52 minutes.

Future Days by Can
Jul 20 2026

It's basically band practice... but some of it happens to be listenable.

Back At The Chicken Shack by Jimmy Smith
Jul 21 2026

If your song is 10+ minutes long and you have to fade out to finish it, you weren't done writing/composing it. The backgroundyist of background music.

Opus Dei by Laibach
Jul 22 2026

Started strong but the end of the album is boring as sin and repetitive.

Risque by CHIC
Jul 24 2026

Some music from this era is dated, but this is timeless.

Kid A by Radiohead
Jul 25 2026

Radiohead really don't get enough credit for the amount of filler they can fit into an album.

Debut by Björk
Jul 28 2026

Bjork has an incredible voice but makes me feel like a 90s sitcom dad who wants to shout at their kid for listening to garbage.

Shadowland by k.d. lang
Jul 29 2026

Inoffensive love songs.

Music for the Masses by Depeche Mode
Jul 30 2026

Sounds Surprisingly modern for an album that's almost 40 years old. Bo Burnham has definitely taken some influence from them.

Headquarters by The Monkees
Jul 31 2026

What makes this so enjoyable to listen to is how much fun you can tell they're having... that tambourine can fuck off though. Of the time, of course, but some very questionable lyrics. Maybe ask if she's old enough before declaring that she'll be yours.

The Bends by Radiohead
Aug 02 2026

Mumble rock

Aug 04 2026

I always think Queen is overrated but I think I'm just bored of the overplayed radio hits. Solid album.

Aug 05 2026

Country just really isn't for me. I can hear that it's not bad but the whole album feels like a trope.

Bone Machine by Tom Waits
Aug 07 2026

I barely recognise this as music. It's an old man drunk in a bar singing whatever comes into his head.

Legalize It by Peter Tosh
Aug 09 2026

Reggae, aint it.

Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Aug 10 2026

Far more country than I was expecting. That's on me, though.

Urban Hymns by The Verve
Aug 11 2026

I can see why they were popular but I find it all quite boring.

Green by R.E.M.
Aug 12 2026

Really satisfying

This Is Fats Domino by Fats Domino
Aug 14 2026

Half of the songs weren't available on Spotify but it just sounds like a classic soul album.
