Popular Reviews

Crime Of The Century

Supertramp · 1 likes

5/5

Never heard it before, but this was great. Essential prog rock. Like a funky and poppier Dark Side of the Moon.

Life Thru A Lens

Robbie Williams · 1 likes

2/5

Good songwriting, boring songs.

Post Orgasmic Chill

Skunk Anansie · 1 likes

2/5

All Ratings

Back In Black

AC/DC

4/5

Already listened to this, classic 4.5/5

Odessey And Oracle

The Zombies

3/5

Good 60s pop/rock. Nothing special or no big standout songs (other than Time of the Season), but good for an easy summer-y listen.

At San Quentin

Johnny Cash

3/5

Johnny's crowd interactions are very fun, but musically I much prefer his Folsom Prison album.

The Score

Fugees

5/5

Solid boom bap 90s rap with added flair and great production.

Peter Gabriel

4/5

Solid 80s pop. First two songs are amazing, the rest of the album is a slight let down from there.

Crime Of The Century

Supertramp

5/5

Never heard it before, but this was great. Essential prog rock. Like a funky and poppier Dark Side of the Moon.

Dummy

Portishead

3/5

Solid and I'm sure very influential, not really my cup of tea though.

Elvis Presley

2/5

Elvis is a legend but this album doesn’t really have any of my favorite songs of his and doesn’t flow very well.

The Village Green Preservation Society

The Kinks

4/5

Pretty solid, feels like a blues-ier Beatles album.

GREY Area

Little Simz

3/5

Good, not really my thing though.

Goo

Sonic Youth

4/5

A bit uneven, but some amazing guitar work. Sounds very ahead of its time.

Live At The Regal

B.B. King

2/5

Decent, not really my thing and I'm not a big fan of live albums. Great stage presence though.

Sheer Heart Attack

Queen

2/5

I’m simultaneously impressed and bored by Queen. Killer Queen is a classic but not a lot of other standouts to me. Brian May rocks though.

Dog Man Star

Suede

4/5

Hadn’t heard of this one before, really solid though!

This Is Hardcore

Pulp

3/5

Good Brit-pop, but not great. A couple of hits for sure, but I prefer their previous album.

The Next Day

David Bowie

2/5

Not Bowie’s best, and not that interesting otherwise.

Doolittle

Pixies

5/5

Classic, ahead of its time. Lots of great tracks, maybe isn’t the most coherent as an album, but a very fun listen.

Purple Rain

Prince

4/5

Classic, lots of great tracks.

Stankonia

OutKast

4/5

Pretty great, kinda long. I’m more of an Aquemini fan.

Blue Lines

Massive Attack

3/5

Impressive trip hop album, I found it a bit boring though.

Chris

Christine and the Queens

2/5

Nothing special, sounds like a lot of other synth pop of that era.

Talk Talk Talk

The Psychedelic Furs

2/5

Has a lot of the elements of music I like, but I found this one pretty dry and with no real standouts.

Murmur

R.E.M.

5/5

Great easy listening alternative rock.

Darkdancer

Les Rythmes Digitales

2/5

Not my thing.

Floodland

Sisters Of Mercy

3/5

Interesting, hadn't heard this one before or heard of the band.

Metallica

4/5

Great stuff, absolute classic. Could be a little shorter and more condensed.

Headquarters

The Monkees

3/5

Sounds like an okay Beatles album.

Tapestry

Carole King

5/5

She’s a great songwriter, and this is some solid easy listening 70s pop/rock.

Don't Stand Me Down

Dexys Midnight Runners

1/5

Not good. Why is this on here?

I Should Coco

Supergrass

3/5

Okay alt rock album, a lot of same sounding tracks.

Dig Me Out

Sleater-Kinney

2/5

Smash

The Offspring

3/5

A lot of same-y sounding stuff. Catchy I guess.

Life Thru A Lens

Robbie Williams

2/5

Good songwriting, boring songs.

Darklands

The Jesus And Mary Chain

5/5

Goth rock masterpiece.

The Chronic

Dr. Dre

3/5

It’s a classic for sure and Dr. Dre is a genius, but I’ve never actually enjoyed this album as much as others seem to.

The Marshall Mathers LP

Eminem

4/5

Eminem’s best by far.

Shake Your Money Maker

The Black Crowes

3/5

Decent rock album.

The Doors

4/5

Illinois

Sufjan Stevens

3/5

Sprawling and ambitious, some great tracks, but uneven overall. His newer stuff is much more focused and I prefer that.

Ambient 1/Music For Airports

Brian Eno

2/5

Ambient - yes, music - ?

Songs For Swingin' Lovers!

Frank Sinatra

3/5

Good background music, a couple standouts.

Vol. 4

Black Sabbath

3/5

Sounds like Sabbath. Good, but peaks after the first song. Tony writes some killer riffs though.

Triangle

The Beau Brummels

4/5

Great easy listening rock album.
