Baba O'Riley

Changed the way I think about music. Nothing else sounds like this.

Say It Loud – I'm Black and I'm Proud

This has some of the best individual songs of the decade even if the album has weak spots.

Say It Loud – I'm Black and I'm Proud

I played this for my partner who doesn't even like this genre and they were blown away. That's the sign of a truly great album — it transcends taste. The hooks are undeniable, the depth is real, and the replay value is infinite.

Family Affair

Not terrible but certainly not deserving of the acclaim.

Poker Face

Ambitious and mostly successful. A couple of missteps keep it from true perfection.

This is fine but I expected more given the critical consensus.

Space Oddity

Great album that rewards repeated listens. Gets better every time.

Vogue

A rich, layered album that reveals more with each listen.

Bold artistic choices that mostly work. Rewarding for patient listeners.

Fortnight

I can see why this has its fans but it just doesn't connect with me the way their other work does. The songwriting feels less inspired and the production, while technically impressive, feels a bit sterile. A few standout moments keep it from being a total miss.

Some great moments here but it doesn't quite sustain over the full runtime.

The production is interesting but the songs themselves are lacking.

No Ordinary Love

Inventive and consistently engaging. One of the better albums I've heard this year.

Wicked Games

I tried multiple times but can't connect with this at all.

Wicked Games

A few good tracks don't save a mostly underwhelming album.

Wicked Games

Started strong but lost me in the back half. The opening three tracks had me excited and then it just sort of coasts on autopilot. Would have been a much stronger EP than it is an album.

Rolling in the Deep

The singles are obvious highlights but the deep cuts are excellent too.

I've written and deleted this review probably five times now because I keep feeling like I'm not doing it justice. How do you review something that feels this essential? Every time I think I've identified what makes it great, I notice something else. The interplay between the instruments. The way the dynamics shift. The moments of silence that hit harder than any note. I think what makes this a genuine masterpiece rather than just a very good album is its sense of completeness. It doesn't feel like a collection of songs — it feels like a world you step into. And when it's over, you feel genuinely different than when you started. Not many albums can claim that.
