Incredibly boring. I thought it might have been revolutionary in its days. But the days were in 2018? I don't understand why it's a must listen.

My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy
Kanye West
I'm pleasantly surprised. For me the name Kanye West was let's say controversial. Now I understand why he is so famous (for his work). Previously, I was not particularly thrilled about Rap/Hip Hop. 5 stars for making me reevaluate a whole genre. Just to stress this: Given how negative I view his behavior, it was an uphill battle. It's a complex album. Every song sounds unique. I will listen again.

It's pleasant but I never fully bought into Brit Pop. It's good but it doesn't make my heart move one way or another.

No Sleep 'Til Hammersmith (Live)

No, just no. As others commented: 1 good song. The first one. Then it's repetitive and boring. Couldn't listen to the end.

Duck Stab/Buster & Glen
The Residents
The longer it lasted, the less I could tolerate it. When my neighbor started drilling and it took me too long to realize, it's not part of the music, I knew: It's not for me. I do like experimental stuff like Pere Ubu, but this feels too forced.

The Libertines
It's better than I remembered it. Add some nostalgia and I'm between 3 and 4 stars. After some generic albums, I'm leaning towards 4. Pete Doherty is the Christiane F. of music for me and I found him really cool as a kid. Maybe because he was dating Kate Moss? Nevertheless, raw and unique sound.

I couldn't listen until the end. At the beginning I thought I've already listened to it? But no, it was their other album 'No Sleep 'Til Hammersmith' which sounds exactly, and I mean exactly, the same. '(We are) The Roadcrew' was okay.

I quite enjoyed this album. It sounds very 90s in a good way and has aged really well. I will listen to it again even though I don't see myself as a rap/hip hop person.
