What a masterpiece, genius guitar work, never in your face but always present, great atmosphere

While the Sitar is an interesting instrument, this album sounds more like a 50 minute solo on the Sitar which is just not that enjoyable as an album

This truly was a huge disappointment for me. A Grammy winning album that is jumping from genre to genre with each song, each time in a worse manner while sounding awfully a lot like Kid Rock

Not bad but just a bit too much progressive and not enough rock to keep me entertained and intrigued

Unremarkable and forgettable

Not really my type of music, a bit too raw and aggressive sounding although can see its appeal if one likes the genre. 2/5

Surprisingly entertaining and easy listening. Solid music and a look into Brit pop

Unremarkable, neither bad nor good

Very solid album, nothing to dislike about that kind of music

Good Album that is an all around great listen, not one song stands out but all of them combine for a joyful listening

Interesting to hear this subgenre but in the end all the songs were too close to each other and unremarkable

There's not much to be said that hasn't already been said, this is one of the best albums of all time, a perfectly packaged concept album that never feels boring or dull and that was groundbreaking back then and still is almost 50 years onwards

Great album overall, there weren't any songs standing out particularly but it is a well put together album that, as their debut album, laid the foundations for a great career

Went in there expecting not much, having never listened to them before but I had a great time listening to this album and enjoyed it thoroughly. The more melodic aspect of this album hit exactly what I like in rock and I'm definitely looking forward to check out more of then

Good pop album with an edge from a legendary artist with a unique voice. Despite this not being my personal favorite genre and only steel claw popped out as a great song i liked, it was an overall good album that deserves its rating

Good album of own and cover songs but nothing remarkable or outstanding so a solid 3

Not really a traditional country album but not bad. She has a good voice and the album is decent.

What a great put together album. Joni has her individual style yet one never feels like one song sounds like the other or that they blend together.

Very early, British punk rock. Unfortunately I fail to appreciate the art in it, it sounds bad, the singing reminds me more of drunk people yelling at the pub......

Expected absolutely nothing but it was quite an enjoyable album, liked the unorthodox edge it had with melodic melodies and singing

Atrocious, simply atrocious, not sure what to say about this wanna be music

Decent album but for a legendary and hyped artist like Lennon, I can't help but to feel the album is underwhelming.

Interesting instrumental album..not the biggest fan of the instrumental but I have to appreciate the effort and the art in it

Not a bad pop album but absolutely nothing special. First two songs are good, after that the album becomes to monotonous to impress

Did not like this at all, no melodies, all just yelling, not my cup of tea at all

Weird name but not a weird album. Surprisingly decent as some background music. The perfect example of a 3 star album

More modern, less Britpoppy than for example Oasis and Blur. Liked it a lot, especially the second half of the album. However due to the slow first half, I have to award a 4 instead of a 5

Interesting to venture out into a world that I normally do not go to. Great guitar work, overall a decent album

Decent britrock album with some interesting edges to it, although in the end it does lack some memorable songs to gain a 4 star rating

Decent album, does fail to live up to expectations though because there's hardly any influence of Jobim visible

Great album that is genre bending and never boring. Dilling into folk, pop, rock, jazz, blues and doing it all great

Great Album, each song is good and sounds like it belongs into a huge stadium show and best of playlist. Album itself could do with being 15 min shorter

Decent album, starts out very strong the first third or quarter but then slows down and ends up being 15-20 minutes too long

Great album, loved the concept of 4 different sides with different genres

Decent but can't help to feel a bit underwhelmed given his legacy and the expectations that come with it. Not a bad album, good for the background but nothing more

While the Sitar is an interesting instrument, this album sounds more like a 50 minute solo on the Sitar which is just not that enjoyable as an album

Great Album, really like the voice and the composition. Although not a masterpiece, it's definitely a very good 4

Liked the versatility of this album, no song sounds like the same and 3 lead singers is a refreshing concept.

Decent album which for a name like that, falls a bit short of expectations

Decent album, found the melodics and the heavier instruments to be the missing thing from Britpop

Decent album that can't hold the high quality of its opening title nor of some other britrock staples

Decent album but nothing more

Great Album, her voice fits great to the music and there is not a single bad song on the album

Absolute great Album, so versatile and creative, never boring

A crap shoot, a mashup of two genres that offer nothing better than listening to the genres individually

Decent album that certainly isn't the best work of The Who nor anything remarkavle

Not bad but certainly nothing special or memorable

Didn't like this one too much, the mixing has the vocals too low, all the songs are unremarkable and sound the same

Classic Punk and me, I don't think we'll ever become friends

Unremarkable and forgettable

Good feel good album with great harmonies and fun songs

Surprisingly great, each song has something else that I liked about it, 80s pop with an edge

What a tragedy

Great folk album, has a great baritone voice and great instrumentals, not the biggest fan of the lyrics

Not my genre but also not very good albums even for somebody that's no expert in rap

Atrocious

Just not enough of a structure and beat to be enjoyable, too stripped down, mostly just some percussion in the background

Decent rock album but nothing more because the rest of the albums fails to live up to the quality of the first, title giving song

Decent, influential album. From a pure listening experience, the organ got a bit overused towards the end of the album

Interesting and decent but nothing else

Surprisingly good and upbeat rock album which doesnt have any bad songs but also too little great songs to deserve a 5

Not per se Bad but the album is just too long, the songs are too similar and she's trying to hard to be different and edgy

Decent but at the end of the day fails to excite

Bit disappointed as I expected more based on the name and their legacy. It wasn't bad however I found it in-between sounds, not really being either and thus kinda average

Decent album that, 40 years later, lost its groundbreaking appeal for me

Quite liked this one, it's a happy and tolkienesque sound with some harps, mandolins, etc

Decent R&B but too long and fails to be more than background music

Interesting album that has a bit of an edge to it, definitely better R&B than Maxwell the day before but still not enough to get 4 stars for me

Below average alternative rock that fails to convince

Very refreshing! A upbeat, feel good rock-pop album with many catchy songs. Individual songs could be a bit longer

Entertaining and enjoyable indie pop with some good harmonies and melpdies

Surprisingly not awful however still nothing special

Decent however the songs sounded too similar and only the first song was a big hit

Good album, enjoyable and joyous sound, no huge hit but fits well together

Very unorthodox and different but good. Angelic voice, a synth sounding like many various instruments and a movie score-like composition

Very basic rap album without a lot of beats and very clean rap. Not bad, just too long and too monotonous

Not a good singing performance, almost slurrish singing, uninspiring and monotonous music

Decent album but a very passionate and emotional delivery

Great album full with big hits and great songs

Could have been a decent album if not for the ridiculous length and many filler songs

Very solid debut album of a great pop band. Yellow is by far the best song on there but there is not a really bad song on there either

Decent albums, not as wannabe different than her previous one from the 90s however still with an edge. Ultimately though not enough standout songs to warrant a 4

Good album which has a lot of missed potential unfortunately, would have wished that the more exotic and medieval sounding songs were more plentyful

Great mix of worldly songs

Decent country album however the songs all sounded too similar and none of them really stood out

Great Overall album, mystical and enjoyable songs, setting a great mood

Did like it, unfortunately the first song was the best since it was much more dark and mysterious than the rest, the others were almost normal blues rock

While not the best album that normally would be a 3, the whole character and music fit together perfectly and sold the album. Very creative and unique

An album full of hits, one could think it's a Greatest Hits

A good three stars but ultimately not more

Ultimately a bit disappointing, way too long, songs sounded too much the same, too little guitar action

Just not good music

Not a fan at all, background music was the best

Wow, did not expect this but this is a masterpiece.

Good album but would have preferred more songs of them all together like the last two songs of the album

Groundbreaking yet in total a bit underwhelming, not my favourite style of rock so the spark didn't fly

I fail to see many positive things about this album and kind of music

Liked it, just something about that it makes it easy listening and feel good

Just too boring in my opinion, trying too hard to be different

Tough to rate like an album cause it's just ambient music

Bang average, nothing more, nothing less

Actually a pretty good album, no song stands out but overall very enjoyable

Even though the album was too long and had too many fillers, it was still an interesting and enjoyable album

What a masterpiece, genius guitar work, never in your face but always present, great atmosphere

Decent world music, interesting to hear once but that's it

Good album however none of the songs really really stands out which prevents it from getting a 5

Great album, it's like the epitome of Classic rock. B side is a bit weaker but A side is banging

Decent, little disappointing though because if it wasn't for the guitar play, this would be a 3 star album

Wasn't a big fan, just not enough melody and song structure

Just not my type of music and music that's suitable to listen in a full album setting

Surprisingly good 80s pop, no standout songs but overall a enjoyable album

Typical 3 stars for me, nothing special

Decent album, not the biggest fan of the unserious lyrics

Who doesn't like ABBA?

Good 80s pop with a mystery sound

Enjoyable, fast paced rock n roll album

Decent World music

Decent but ultimately slightly disappointed

Good album but personally I prefer his faster ultempo songs and prefer his Bad Album

Surprisingly unorthodox for S&G but still a great album with beautiful songwriting

Surprisingly good R&B+Pop album

Decent but just not my type of music and too rythmic

Decent album, just nothing really memorable about it and the big singles aren't that great in my opinion

Surprisingly likeable post punk album

Good album but just shy of a masterpiece/5 stars

Surprisingly great album, liked the combination of voice and instruments, shows a great variety of genres and songs, without becoming too much

Not that bad, sound actually fairly modern for the age, would give this a 3.5

All over the place, not Bad per se but also not good

Decent album, great production and instruments

Quite interesting and unique, very deep voice but somewhat soothing piano play

Surprisingly entertaining synth pop with catchy tunes

Raw rap, not my thing

Very enjoyable rock album

More or less just ambience music

Good album, bit too raw for my personal taste

Decent album

Ultimately just too long and not interesting and innovative enough

Started strong but ultimately too long and too similar of songs

Surprisingly enjoyable album to have in the background

While it's just at the edge of how much grunting and raw metal I can listen to, this is still not very enjoyable

Interesting album, highly acclaimed but looking at the songs specifically, nothing stands out that warrants a 4 to me

Didn't expect to like this but I did. It has a nice grooves some heavy guitar riffs and is innovative. Too long though

Not bad but ultimately fails to leave a Impress

Just nothing special, way too long and not memorable

Interesting album and a nice concept. Liked the sound a lot, just the last edge is missing for this to be 5 stars

While worse than their other album, it's still above average and warrants a 4, although it's closer to a 3.5 than a 4

Surprisingly good album, liked the sound a lot plus the songs were very catchy

What a great sound, fast paced songs and howling guitars, every song has class - what's not to like?

Not too different from the other Stripes album, appreciated the few singing songs but still overall nothing too outstanding

Enjoyable but not enough to leave a lasting impression

Not bad however all in all just a tad bit too unexciting and too similar sounding

Enjoyable and somewhat amusing album with tongue-in-cheek lyrics, surprisingly good

Great album, almost every song is a banger

This was a pleasant surprise. Has that exotic factor due to English/afro Carribbean accent, the electronic beats are versatile and catchy, the lyrics are fun and weird

Unfortunately worse than School's Out, no song really stood out and overall they were just rather boring and similar sounding

Although only just over 1h, the album dragged on forever with songs that are just nothing special

Good high energy live album, great length

Interesting album, great opener with some other great 4 star songs, overall a good 4 star album

Just nothing that stand out or makes this album remarkable in any way

Not bad but fails to leave a lasting impression, instruments too loud, many cover songs, album came before their biggest hits

What a great album/songs. Even 33 years later, still very much relevant

Just nothing interesting, drags on way too long

Surprisingly not that bad, album was all over the place with lots of different genres mixed into Hip hop

Decent but it's not a genre that I would ever actively listen to

Purely based on the songs and how I like them, this would be a 3 however I have to commend the "artistry" in the album, it's diversity of different styles aswell as it being ahead of its time for 1966

Decent but nothing remarkable or to remember

Not bad but ultimately expected a bit more, no song really stands out or is memorable

Not bad but just average, lack of big hits and memorable songs

Good album, great runtime, good crowd working, nice songs

Not that bad to be honest, violent and aggressive lyrics, would give this a 2.5 if I could

Nice album full of psychodelic songs that work well as a whole album

Not a bad album, just too long runtime and the songs sounding all very similar

Not bad but just fails to love up close to any of the hype that's associated with a Ex-Beatle.

Decent album however the guitar playing, whil excellent, was less of a focus on this album which didn't help the album

Decent and quite adventurous, but nothing that's memorable or outstanding

What a great album, every song is class and belongs on there and is catchy

Boring...repetitive....

Decent album, great length, nice listening, just a bit too monotonous

Something about this album that is actually soothing and enjoyable. Nice voice, the electronics are a nice added touch

Great album, great guitar, just the right amount of blues

Decent but somehow the spark just isn't there

Surprisingly great and entertaining rock album

Interesting to hear and learn about the artist and that time but nothing more

I want to like it but it's just not enough for a 4 for me. The songs are just a bit too simple for me, both lyrically aswell as musically but they lack the catchiness of for example CCR

Great album that feels ahead of its time

Liked the mysterious and sad atmosphere but the songs fail to make this more than an average album

Starts out decent but begins to fall off quite a bit, way too long, bad singing, just not my genre and truly forgettable

Surprisingly good, got lots of Pink Floyd vibes from the instrumental parts

Boring, incredibly repetitive....

Was interesting to listen to music from that era but at the end of the day, it didn't do much for me, decent

Kinda weird sounding, fails to make an impression

Surprisingly decent alt rock but missing one or two hit songs to be awarded 4 stars

A great album with some huge hits. Unfortunately the other songs cannot hold the high quality of the hits which keeps this album from reaching 5 stars

Nice barebones folk album, great mix and sound

Great mix of hard guitar riffs and still somewhat melodic

Sounded all very similar and the songs being about the same topics got old quickly

Interesting, but could have done with a bit more vocals and guitars

Great runtime, easy listening, just good basic rock and

Really liked this one, from Eddie's voice, to the classic/stadium rock elements, the riffs, just a great overall rock album

This is hardly music, sounds more like a sermon or ted talk

Decent album, surprisingly liked the first hipvhopvalbum better than the funk part

Long double album but a great one! Really liked the vibe/atmosphere of the album, every song has its place on the album and is minimum a decent song

Great album showing the creativity and versatility of Bowie.

Not bad but would have preferred them to be a bit "heavier"

Decent country album but ultimately fails to leave an impression

Decent album that showcases Neil's Talent, although I would have personally preferred some more electric guitars

Please, make it stop

Surprisingly boring, basic blues rock, little guitars, not very catchy

Slightly expected more, in the end not bad but the album is very long and hardly any songs were memorable enough to remember them after the listening

Decent 90s punk album that's a bit too long and lacking a big hit

Unorthodox but not necessarily bad

Easy Rock listening, although lacks some standout songs

Easy listening that fails to make a lasting impression as more than background music

Short and sweet country album but no songs are really outstanding

Decent disco album that unfortunately got old quite fast though due to very similar sounding songs

Decent album with an interesting artist history. Fails to make a lasting impression though

Decent rapping, album too long though and would have preferred some better beats with more instruments, less electronic

Decent but ultimately the songs are very similar and nothing stands out

Interesting electric sound but wished the songs were a bit catchier and diverse

Good instrumentals but just lacking the singing to make good rock sonvsz

Great album, never boring, loved the guitar, timeless sounding

Just too raw, loud, noisy

While they might have been one of the first ones to play a heavy metal-esque sound, they didn't really do it well

Interesting album for sure, nice smooth r&b and electronic beats

What a stroke of genius, so many instruments, so many intricate melodies and harmonies, and all of it played by an 19 year old in 1973

Great Rock album, awesome of course as a debut album, but overall it has three great songs, couple of good songs and the rest of the songs fall off, being a three ish, so overall this combines for a good 4

Interesting and kinda weird. Solid 3 stars though

Great suprise here, the album is full of catchy songs with lots of harmonies, my guilty pleasure. Interesting sound also for late 80s, prog and psychodelic rock paired with some 80s dance influence

Way too long but besides that an entertaining combination out of folk, rock and roll and country

Very rough, the experimental aspect is fine, it just sounds bad. If you take away the electronic parts, you have a decent albums so that's what saves it from a 1

This was a nice surprise and quite suitable for me as it was not too raw Post-Punk. Still melodic music, singing was also actual singing so this deserves a 4

Very atmospheric and unorthodox, with lots of instrumental parts and little singing. 4 for creativity

Decent punk album that actually is fairly calm and "beginner-friendly", not all that raw and aggressive

Just some hip hop ambience music....

Great easy listening rock, impossible not to like

Nice voice but would have liked the songs to be a bit more uptempo, like this they were somewhat a bit dull and monotonous

Great prog rock album with some folky/medival sounding melodies

Decent instrumental album, would have liked some more diversity in sound and melodies

Not bad but just very uneventful

Not my music at all, but even then I found the album to be very repetitive and boring

A album that could have been decent, if they decided to make proper songs and not try to be innovative with weird sounds and noises

Found this album very generic pop music, expected a bit more uniqueness from an album of a music legend

Fails to leave a lasting Impression, mellow sound but no song really drives the album

Nice to hear some Sinatra sequel music from Brazil, interesting to listen to it and it's influences

No music there to review, just some noise

Not sure I do understand the sense or right of existence for this kind of music but at least it had some melodies, even though one heard it all after 30 seconds of the song

While this Album still has great innovation and Bowie's mastermind, the end result from a music standpoint is just not my cup of tea

Probably the most Africa sounding album so far, interesting to listen to for sure

Nice blues rock that sounds like a big jam party. No Song really stands out and carries the album, the album is a rad bit too long but still good rock

The beats are simple and lacking a bit, rapping flow is nice. Overall a decent album that isn't too long

Personally I'm not a fan of the funky beats and light, not- so-serious lyrics but that's obviously also the time, not just this album alone

Interesting instrumental full of psychodelics and ambience

What a great album, combines the positive aspects of britpop with some heavier guitars and stadium anthem like choruses

The songs sounds all too similar, nothing really stands out. Decent country-esque but not more

Bit weird sounding at first, with ProgRock/Psycholedia/Instrumental parts mixed with some slow ballad-type songs but if one embraces the weirdness it ends up being quite a nice ride

Never thought much of her but this was actually a decent album, great combination of pop, r&b and hip hop styles

Hip Hop pioneers whose album was unfortunately only half available, hard to review the album like this

Reggae album that fails to leave a lasting impression as all the songs sound very much the same and fade into ambience very quickly

Very very raw and super short, the latter is the best thing about this album

Decent rock album that doesnt contain any songs though that leave a lasting impression

Bit too raw and aggressive for my liking, would have appreciated bit more singing than yelling but overall not as bad as imagined which probably is aided by the short runtime

Hard to find anything positive about this, 1 hour of electronic noise over some ambiance music

Better than his previous album because it's more of a personal sound and not so Dylan esque however still a bit lacking to give it a 4

Half the album wasn't available on Spotify but what I've heard was repetitive and unimaginative

Nice album however the whole Bossa Nova genre is a bit too slow and monotonous for me

Nice album, great runtime and good mix of songs and instruments

Very influential album with high class lyrics but musically I didn't like how many songs were cut up by interludes and spoken word passages. The rapping could have been a bit more focused, he sounded bored at times

Interesting to listen to this influential artist but personally I'm not really touched by it nor am I anything but indifferent to it

Enjoyable R&B album with heavy pop influences that does lack more great songs though to warrant a fourth star

What a wonderfully weird album, A side is more rock, B side is more pop but always with a special psychodelic/mad edge

Just a nice and solid rock album that is no groundbreaker by any means but instead is a catchy album that is very easy listening

Not bad but just way too long to keep my attention. It's more of a sampler of different country musicians so hard to compare to proper albums

Nice enjoyable album, easy listening yet not boring or simple. Liked the saxophone and the vibe

Decent but nothing special, songs all sound very similar

Decent album, definitely a great background music but not my type of music for main listening ourposes

Nice melancholic and slow folk, missing some versatility for a higher rating though

Fast and raw with long songs that often sound like different songs stuck together but nonetheless a great album

Missed opportunity to combine the Europop beats with real catchy songs

Not a big fan of her voice but also overall lacking any big and great songs

Interesting, unorthodox "spacy" sound but fails to catch my attention further

Not a big fan of funk but the combination of rock made it decent for me. Songs bit too long and repetitive

Overall not bad but too long and too much of a mix of styles without excelling at any of them and no song really sticking out

Much to my surprise I quite liked this, the songs were quite catchy and I liked the guitar and voice harmonies

Nice to hear but fails to be more than classical background music for my ears

Fairly indifferent about this one, neither great nor bad, just bang average

This album was just very very uneventful and boring

Actually quite liked this, good voice, loved the guitar

Quite liked this one, each song belonged on the album, great riffs

This was both annoying and just not good. Annoying voice, simple and bothersome electronic beats, hardly real singing.....

Important rap album but the combination of funky beats and short back and forth rap isn't my favourite

Nice voice but overall the songs are a bit too mellow, quiet for my liking and too monotonous

Decent post punk that is a bit quiet. However no son really sticks out, the music turns into background music rather quickly

Messy and raw, bad mixing, not awful but also not good

Decent, at times wild electronic punkesque music

Great album showing the versatility of Neil. Slow, fast, country, rock..... And always great lyrics

Great, powerful rock album. Every song belongs on the album and knows to entertain

Decent album with one famous song (Epic). Stylistically all over the place, which isn't a bad thing but ultimately not enough to warrant a 4

Nice album, enjoyed the uniqueness of the flute, combined with some "old sounding progressive/psycholedic" tunes. Also liked the singing voice of Ian

Great rock album that was ahead of its time and is thoroughly entertaining

Easy listening however the very repetitive style of all the songs got old quick

easy listening, typical 80s synth style with a smooth voice. Nice!

Awful and annoying

Decent background music but not more for today's ears

Short album that is technically even shorter since it's filled with interludes. Decent 80s pop, although a rather annoying singing voice

Decent alternative rock that fails to be more than average

Very unorthodox, would have liked a bit more singing than speaking but overall not bad

Enjoyable 60s rock that sounds very Beatles esque

Decent prog rock live album that does lack great songs though and thus remains average

Interesting combo, did mind the punkish singing but enjoyed the catchy rythmsnof the ska

Decent album, typical british new wave, nice electro sound but fails to leave a lasting impression

Great and versatile album, loved "One day like this"

Just too messy and unremarkable to be anything more than average

Great easy listening music, hard to find any faults

Nice easy listening album with great instrumentals

Not bad but lacking any standout things, just too "standard"

Ultimately a bit disappointing, half the songs were really raw and mainly screaming, the other half of the songs were decent but didn't compare to Nevermind's songs

Nice and entertaining classic rock but not enough for me for 4 stars

Yet another post punk that disappoints. Really did not like the way the singer's voice sounds and how it's almost more spoken than sung

Iconic singer with good music which, today, unfortunately doesn't command your attention very much

Surprisingly not too bad

Awful, like having a class of pre teen music students play whatever they'd like all at the same time

Nice combo of progressive rock's weirdness and Queen's singing quirks and harmonies

Decent space rock, was a bit confused though as to why in the midst of the album the sound drastically changed from rock to almost only ballads

Decent easy listening, bit too slow for my liking but overall not bad

Not my cup of tea and a bit boring but objectively not a bad album. But also not really a good one either

Easy enjoyable indie pop/rock with synth elements

Great easy listening, hard to find something not like about this, country at its most enjoyable

Just nothing worthwhile, too long, too chaotic, but not like I hated it

Bit disappointing, the music was just a big mash, the singing was mainly ooooohs and aaaaaahs and the structure of the songs was non existent

Great album that, due to it being not too hard and aggressive and it's somewhat catchy songs is also great for people who are normally not too much into the genre

Folk mixed with psychodelic, liked it and wanted to applaud the thinking outside the box mentality here

This was great, it's exactly what I loved about the Stephen Stills album and what I often missed in Neil Young's Solo albums: the edge, provided by the guitar and riffs that were probably provided by Stills. It's a perfect length album with a wide array of songs, slow, mid tempo, fast, quiet, heavier. It's easy listening with a rock edge, what's not to love

Bruce managed to create a album not full of hits but full of atmosphere, storytelling and great music

Decent rock album that is too long and lacking highlights to be

Unfortunately below expectations, Heroes as a lead single isn't even that good, the rest of the songs fail to coming close to anything remarkable and the instrumental/ambience B Side was redundant

Easy listening for the background but the songs itself were too similar to not make this another decent album that will be forgotten after a few days

Decent jazz album that's great as background music but fails to really convince as the only source of entertainment

Entertaining and catchy rock album that is very easy to listen to and hard to find flaws

Decent minimalistic indie, that creates a special atmosphere which makes it perfect for background listening but fails to command more attention

Nice music for the background but for today's ears, it fails to be more than that unless you are a affictionado

What a uniquely weird Album. Tom has a unique voice and a unique, I orthodox way of using it. The background music is minimalistic but works and fits the bill

The genre itself is just too messy for me, the sound and vocals are merging into each other, hard to hear and understand anything. Songs are not catchy or memorable either

Decent album, very beatles-eque with a couple of songs that became famous later on due to being covered

Nice, atmospheric folk album. Runtime was just right, not too long. Maybe lacked one or two standout songs but still a good album

Really liked the combination of catchy pop sounds paired with the extravaganza of Prince's rock and funk

Ultimately just too uneventful and boring sounding to be anything more than a 3

Personally I found this type of jazz to be too fast paced, listening to it was not relaxing or a joyful experience but it felt like one was being rushed and almost stressful. Objectively though it's a good album by a legendary artist so I'm giving this the standard 3 for world/others

Wanted to like this better with except for great guitar work it's a pretty unremarkable album

Decent rap album that is too long and lacks any standouts

Great rock album, few songs are a bit too heavy but the rest is great rock that is hard to dislike

Bob Dylan is always a great listen, what a magnificent storyteller but in this case, the bare bones acoustic background music just left one wanting a bit more

Tough to rate what is technically a sampler as a "normal" album but if looking at the songs individually you have good to great reinditions of classic Christmas songs which help making this album as good for Christmas listening as a Spotify playlist

The temptations going psychodelic, interesting concept but fails to fullz convince after a few songs

Indie rock meets electronica, an album devout of any highlights or anything worthwhile remembering

Despite the album having lots of covers, this one deserves a 4 since Cash really put his own personal stamp on each of them

Nice voice and atmosphere but ultimately the songs fail to impress or leave a lasting memory, all being rather similar and without highlights

Solid and catchy 80s synth pop that is unfortunately too repetitive to justify a 4 stars

A through and through high level album, similar storytelling like Neil Young or Bob Dylan, here with a fun-sounding world music twist

Just like the other album of theirs, an album that lacks highlights in Form of great standout songs or solos

This truly was a huge disappointment for me. A Grammy winning album that is jumping from genre to genre with each song, each time in a worse manner while sounding awfully a lot like Kid Rock

Nice rock with Celtic influences which are not too overwhelming or too much, just the right amount. Makes for a enjoyable, happy listen, albeit a bit too long

A great album that seems to encompassing of everything 80. Synth pop, new wave, some prog rock esque sounds, a 15 minute song on the first half, couple of covers and sandwiched by two of the biggest 80s songs with Relax and Power of Love

Punk that seemed slightly less aggravating than some others before however it's still a genre and album that I cannot ensure for longer than 10 minutes

Decent easy listening album of mostly Motown and soul covers that ultimately though fails to provide any real highlights

What a great pro album. More towards pop than rock and lacking a bit guitar but that gets made up by that great sounding keyboard being prominent

This was a revelation, awesome guitar playing paired with some brass/orchestral sounds paired with some prog experiments produce a album that is long but doesn't fail to amaze. Enjoyable and catchy songs that finish with a 14 minute epic, what's not to love?

Surprisingly great quality of recording and also the band sounding very much like in the studio. The songs are all very similar but despite that, I couldn't help but to nod along and enjoy the album which is why I'm going to bump this up to a 4

Like most of the world music: interesting and nice to have heard it once but that's it

Great Album that combines the best elements of early 2000s alternative rock and Brit Pop

Not bad and definitely one of the more easy listening rap albums

Not a bad album but personally just a bit too unorthodox and weird

Surprisingly decent electronic album with enjoyable melodies and also some vocal songs

Decent album that while never annoying, also fails to make a big and lasting impact

CCR is always good, catchy and simple songs that are always enjoyable. This album however did miss the last bit to propell it to a 5

Arguably the most neutral, uneventful, uninspiring album so far

What a great album! Compared to earlier Who albums, this is a marvel. "Bookended" by three mega hits, the rest of the album is studded with everything, fast paced songs, power ballads, guitars, synthesisers

Decent easy listening that drags on a bit long though and the rather basic concept loses its appeal rather quickly

A punk album that is rather on the side side of the spectrum. Tolerable and listenable, without any real heights or lows

What a masterpiece. Not a single bad songs, great variety in styles, great guitar play, big hits.... What's not to like

Not bad but actually somewhat boring. Slow pace, similar style of all the songs, just not memorable

A album that stylistically might have been a bit ahead of its time but for today's standards lacks highlights and is rather boring

Actually really liked that. It was 90s Alternative Rock and even some sounds that I would attribute to late 90s Pop-Punk, combined with 70s rock and made a great combination

Does what its supposed to do it you want something to drown out the silence but can't say that it's anything more than that

Decent easy listening but fails to leave a bigger impression

Decent soul album that has no real issues but fails so provoke more interest. great for the background

A great Brit Pop band forsakes Brit Pop in an effort to sound more American and produce an average album that could have been by any of the thousands of alternative rock bands

Surprisingly not that bad, liked the mystical vibe that it created

Good and highly unique/creative album. Very much liked the "up and down" between hard metal and softer parts

Decent album that's a bit too long and too all over the place to really get going and leave an impression

What a great and uplifting album. Robbie can sing just about anything, fronted by two of his biggest hits, each song belongs on the album and has a unique edge, definitely no standard, boring pop

Typical 60s with some psychodelic pop edge. Not bad but in the end the album is just going to be one of hundreds that are not bad but listening to them once is enough

Easy listening music that sounds jolly. Not bad but nothing really stood out

A good double album with nice piano-heavy music that however leaves me wanting a bit more. A bit more rock, a bit more prog rock and also a bit more diversity

This wasn't super rough to listen to but it's hard to understand how an album full of just beats could be considered a must hear

Decent album with nice synth beats that are a little bit too repetitive and similar sounding throughout the album

Great album that isn't fronted by big hits but rather convinces with a high quality throughout the whole album. Loved the sound

Decent country album with great runtime that doesn't stand out from the crowd of similar albums

Great pop album that is focusing on its strengths and not trying to be something it shouldn't be. Great variety of songs, all at a very high quality level, they all belong there

Interesting and unique concept that ends in a double album of average country rock that fails to leave an impression

Good album, very beatles-eque with a blues touch. Not a real bad song but also not a lot of song standing out very positively

Found this album rather obnoxious and too "in-your-face". The instruments are very loud and noisy and the almost crying-out-loud singing style make for a very noisy experience. All the sounds kinda sound the same which culminated in a sensory overload for me

A ABBA album that, despite lacking huge hits and being less light in terms of lyrical content, still entertains massively and doesn't have a bad song over a great runtime of just shy of 40 minutes They never fail to bring good mood and cheer up

Wanted to give this a fair chance but just couldn't. Already not a favourite genre of mine but it felt also that half the album was just kinda a waste of time. The first track was an okay instrumental that lacked any real highlights or any that warranted it being 10 minutes long. Then followed a few rather short songs, one as unspectacular and forgettable as the other before we arrived at the closing track, Wars of Armageddon. This one should have been called Noise of Armageddon and is really a 10 minute shittake. And I don't mean the Asian mushroom! The kind of noise and sounds that are in there make you go wtf is this.and even after sitting through all of it, I still wonder what exactly the point or purpose of this was. This one did feel like a waste of 36 minutes and left me with no choice but to hand out another 2 stars

Entertaining album, reminds me a lot of Elton John with an Edge due to the piano focus. Definitely a good album though without any big standouts

Not as bad or aggressive as their previous album but this is still far beyond anything I would enjoy as music

Enjoyable and diverse album with a consistent quality in the songs

While this electronic album thankfully does have lyrics, their mediocrity does little to save this album

English/Portuguese mix with Bossa Nova and Swing influences. Interesting combo but nothing more

While Indian influences proved to be a fresh take on electronic music, the album is too long and the new idea also gets old fast

Great guitar play but the rest of the album is just decent to good. Bit disappointed, expected a bit more progressive or heavier stuff. Seems to be going more into the direction of for example The Who, without ever reaching that greatness

What a ride, this album has it all. Catchy choruses, great guitar work, especially love the piano work. All in all this always feels massive, like a grand opera. Every song is a great one, definitely one of the albums I personally enjoyed the most so far

Björk doesn't have a as voice but it almost seems wasted on such a minimalistic and almost boring music style

Overall just very odd with weird noises etc. The fact that the oddness is the only thing I remember a day later, clearly says something

Great overall album, very easy listening and good for everybody, not just Hip Hop fans, since it's a great combination of Hip Hop with some singing, some soul and R&B etc

Guitar noise accompanied by screaming, what's there to like?

Just an overall good album, classic rock and roll mixed with some new influences and outcomes an album that keeps a good pace and quality throughout its 40 minutes runtime. Costello doesn't amaze but he never disappoints

Decent album that is without real highlights nor low lights. Typical 3 stars

Somewhat surprisingly quite liked this. The jazz and funk combo was very groovy and found myself nodding along to it more than usually with an genre like that

Decent album that actually sounds much more modern than it is due to it being similar to the Gangsta Rap of the early 2000s.

While behind expectations and less rock than expected, it's still an album full of enjoyable and catchy songs

What a true masterpiece. Not sure there is a better and more hit-loaded A-Side than this one. Each song of the album could be a single and a hit, no song is like the other, the combination of three great vocalists plus Lindsey's guitar play. Doesn't get much better than this

Decent pop/rock album with a storytelling style lyricism. Tad bit long but overall catchy enough to warrant 4 stars

Great Album with a high quality of songs. Feels somewhat like a textbook alternative rock album

Enjoyable live album that is full of typical classic rock music and also boasts a few "classics" that everybody has heard of or heard before. Being a live album it is rather long of course but overall still a good experience

Did want to like it but realistically it's just not my cup of tee. The beats are funky and minimalistic, the rapping is, while lyrically on a unique level, often interrupted and lacking flow. Personally I didn't enjoy this as much as I hoped i would

Decent classic rock that, 50 years later though has lost a bit of its uniqueness. What's left is good music without any real highlights though

Positively surprised at first due to the combo of rock and Indian music but as the album progressed, the novelty wore off. Just a decent album, no more

Great and unusual combination of jazz and rock/pop. Couldn't stop myself from feeling relaxed and happy by the music

An album that is like a wallflower. Unspectacular, just kind of flows along like a river but in essence isn't bad. Just unremarkable both in positive and negative ways

Compared to other works of his, this was rather disappointing. The songs all sounded very very similar, also the same, basic background music and always the rather same singing. In the end not bad but for such a highly rated artist it was disappointing

Great, timeless album. Harrowing and soothing voice paired with great guitar playing. Quite liked this !

Entertaining classic rock album, not as good as some other legendary bands bit still enjoyable

Very odd album, typical late 60s and Britain. Not bad but can definitely get annoying

The definition of a 3, not bad but neither remarkable or memorable

Very interesting and unorthodox, pop sound with a very interesting edge, sounds a bit like Madonna but also not at all because way less polished and more interesting

Very typical 80s disco pop, catchy tunes but all in all just too similar to each other

Great atmosphere but hasn't necessarily aged well because what was maybe a first back then and very influential, has now, 55 years later, been done often and better

Pop with a little rocky edge, not bad but just a bit too generic. Besides the big hit, no song really stands out nor is of hit material

Conga music that focuses just a bit too much solely on the rythm to provide any but a decent but not very memorable experience

Really liked Tupacs rapping skills but the songs overall lacked a great beat and were too similar too each other. Also lacking a big standout song

Started out as decent alt rock before becoming a bit too aggressive and loud at the end. Great runtime though

Nothing revolutionary and album lacks real highlights but If you break it down it still remains a well done rock album

Even non-instrumental electronic music is still electronic music at the core: doesn't give anything at all and is rather annoying

Great album, Bruce is able to pull off just about anything. Fast paced upbeat songs as well as slower, sad pieces, it always sounds like he was born to do exactly this. A album which contains half of his greatest hits has to be a 5 star rsting

Suprisingly decent electronic album because, except for the first song, all the songs have vocals and its not as experimental as some of the 90s electronic. In essence, this reminds very much of the early 80s synth pop, so actually fairly decent, easy listening

Decent Folk-Rock that is easy listening, without any real high- nor lowlights.

Very influential and ahead of its time, however if we leave this out and purely focus on the music, then its just not more than 3 stars for me. The melodies and instrumentals are decent, could have done without many of the lyrics

Very enjoyable Folk album. Liked the celtic influences as well as their hamonies. Album got a bit weaker at the end when the songs turned slower and more sad

Solid album but nothing more. No song really stood out and in the end I didn't feel like this was a revolution or reinvented the wheel

Loud, messy, bad recording quality, hardly a song structure, an album to forget

Definition of a 3 Star album: Decent run time, enjoyable up beat music, not more, not less

Very unorthodox album, not sure I'm a fan. Typical three although closer to a 2 than a 4

A very average album that lacked any highlights and suffers from a long length and messy sounding production/recording

Surprisingly modern sounding world music album that is a bit too long

Great album with some massive hits. Liked how they reduced the funk sound which is ultimately what made the album more enjoyable to me

The epitomy of alternative/indie rock in the early 2000s. Solid songs but none stands out, feel like I've heard any of them hundred times before as part of a soundtrack to a movie or video game

Interesting to see early examples of prog rock, just a bit too unrefined for me in total

As with the majority of these ''older'' genres: Nice to hear once but thats about it

Nice playing but didn't like the length and relative similar sound of the pieces. Would have liked more themes and versatility

Yet another electronic atrocity. Weird, bad sounding background noise, lyrics that are just there to have them because for anything else they're not good enough....

Entertaining album, very easy listening, whats not to like about catchy pop/rock songs with some jazz influences

Very similar to a electronic album: beats that don't amaze paired together with redundant lyrics. Obsolete album altogether

Great easy listening album full of jolly folly songs. Hard not to like it

The Bee Gees before their trademark Discopop and Falsetto wasn't bad music but unfortunately it was severely lacking identity and something to stand out from. In the end it's not a bad album but one that is without real highlight, too long and also rather repetitive

Yet another hardcore punk album that is exactly the same and has only it's short runtime going for it

Great 1-2-3 punch at the beginning with some of their greatest hits, after that the album becomes weaker but is still very solid pop/rock that knows how to entertain

Decent R&B/Rap that doesn't really offer anything and whose addition to this list is questionable. Not bad enough for a two stars though

Solid and enjoyable album with some Britpop and 60s pop elements. I can't tell you why I like it specifically but I can tell you that I do!

Not sure why this album is groundbreaking enough to be on the list but asides from that, its certainly not bad, just also nothing remarkable either. No highlights make for a long listening

Despite it being questionable that this album is a must hear, it is a very solid and enjoyable country pop album. Could do with maybe one or two big hits but overall good

Great Album, can't help but to feel happy and in an elevated spirit when listening to those upbeat African rythms. Paul's great voice and folk style singing is the perfect bridge to make this combo easy listening

Just a very odd album, not a fan of the slow electro beats with psychodelic elements and her voice that sounds very bored but also in pain at the same time

Although its questionable if this is a must hear, it still is a very good album. This music style is the logical evolution to Taylor's early Country-Pop and she is able to create a very atmospheric experience here. No song is a masterpiece but there are a handful of 4 star songs and overall this album is, although a bit too long, a great listening experience

Not bad but for today's ears, the revolutionary and groundbreaking aspect of her music style has disappeared. A decent album without any real highlights

Pretty much like any other Ska album out there: entertaining and lightening the mood for 15-20 minutes, after that it becomes a bit too much

Decent easy listening without highlights or lowlights, nice to hear

Entertaining and very easy listening. Definitely could feel the relaxed, California-vibe. Enjoyable album although it's lacking real stand-out songs

While I appreciate the more diverse background music, I still can't get behind the "yelling" aspect of their rapping and found the frequent instrumental tracks aswell as the many short songs of 2 minutes or so rather annoying and overused

Great, easy listening album. Fast paced folk with nice harmonies and great run time, what's not to love

Starts out good but as the album progressed it became less typical Neil Young and also the songs got worse. Overall not a bad album but it left me a bit disappointed, especially right after listening to the Byrd's which is everything this album could and should have been

Not what I expected from the beach boys. Not necessarily bad but I found it just lacking that little extra something. The songs were very similar to each other and could have done with some variation

Decent album but was missing a big hit or stand out song to elevate it to 4 stars

Enjoyable album that is a great atmospheric experience. It does however lack standout songs besides Green Light and thus fails to impress me enough for 4 stars

Decent album, great combination of African Influences and vocals with some western guitar play

Like the majority of other world music albums, nice to hear for the first time and learn about it, but nothing more

Great album, has a few big hits that even today still roam the music radios. The synth pop style is not for everyone but I do like it, it puts me in a good mood and makes for an enjoyable listening

Enjoyable and diverse album with folk, pop, rock, psychodelic elements. No song really stands out but it's an overall great album

Very solid Blues Rock album with a Nonplusultra guitar play by Eric Clapton which deserves the 4 stars by itself already

What a great album. 3-4 of Bon Jovi's biggest hits are on here and the rest of the songs are also not far behind in terms of quality. 80s rock at its finest

Alternative Rock that's a bit too "hard" for me but is tolerable. Definitely seems to be "ahead" of its time, sounding more like the late 90s/early 2000s alternative rock

Good album that was carried by its dense mystical atmosphere, created by the instruments and the singing. No song really stood out but the album was an enjoyable experience

Not my cup of tea at all. Very messy and "noisy", the songs lacked structured and the vocals were more yelled than sung. All this for 60 minutes was just too much

Smooth R&B album with lots of creative influences. Not bad but could have done with probably 20 minutes less runtime

Tough to critique but I just kinda like the sound of it and the way it creates a atmosphere with the instruments.

Decent, back to basics 70s rock. good runtime but would have wished one or two more memorable songs to bump it to a 4

What a unorthodox album! Long invididual tracks that consist of hardly more than trippy & psychodelic ambiance music and about the same amount of vocals as the "Next Stop"-announcement on Public transport

Great album, combines the best aspects of Britpop with some Indie and Folk elements. Especially loved the harmonies and the catchiness of the songs

Atmospheric album that is typically Dylan although, especially lyrics wise, falls short compared to his older stuff and is way too long

What a great album! The guitar play is textbook perfect, without being too much or overshadowing the vocals.

Although it was one of the first thrash metal albums, it doesnt mean that I enjoyed it. Just a tad bit too aggressive for me and the "satanic" theme that runs through the whole album is just not something I can get behind

Does a "not-great" Simon & Garfunkel album even exist? In less than 30 minutes, those two manage to pack a vast variety of songs, some faster, some slower, some louder, some quieter, all at a high quality and always with their signature acoustic and harmony-laden sound. What's not to love?

Unfortunately this CD only contained a bunch of noise, no songs or anything else that could be called music was detected

Steely Dan are always a guarantee for good, light hearted, easy.lsitening music and this album is no difference

Unremarkable album without any highlights or anything. Textbook 3 stars that is quickly forgotten again

Easy listening soul, nothing really wrong with that

Standard 3 stars for me here, nice to hear and listen to for the first time but not my genre and this album doesn't change that fact either

Yet another wonderfully unorthodox and at times even weird Tom Waits album. Kudos to him for having and sticking to his own style. This album however I found a tad bit too long and lacking any stand out songs, making this album only memorable due to Waits' unique style and not due to the individual songs

Unfortunately an album that seemed very monotonous to me, every song sounded very similar and didn't have much going on

Entertaining album with a couple of standout songs. Second half of the album was weaker and could have been 10-15 minutes shorter but definitely more up my alley in terms of the faster, darker beats of the early 2000s

Dare I say typical early Beatles? Short runtime, short songs that are somewhat similar ..... But they work! It's easy listening, it's never boring or dull

*Insert standard World music 3 star rating here*

Little bit too aggressive and all over the place for me, yet still not bad enough to be worse than 3

Nice to hear and be able to say "I know who Loretta Lynn is" but not.more than that

Original country music that is bookended by two great, faster songs which I liked a lot. In between there were loads of slower ballads that, despite me wishing a bit faster tempo, were still good and enjoyable

Nice sounding album however I found most of the songs to be rather similar/monotonous and paired with the very minimalist background music, it failed to leave a lasting impression

Take a slow and rather uneventful/boring genre like Bossa Nova and then inexplicably combine it with shitty electronic music and out comes this

What a great album! I knew if Billy's legend status but had never really heard anything of his music. This is how I expected and wanted Elton John's music to sound: pompous, sophisticated yet easy listening, meaningful lyrics yet catchy songs

Great and versatile rock album. Can hear lots of different influences/directions in this one, from Britpop, Blues, Folk, Country. Slightly too long but never boring

Great and enjoyable pop/r&b album. Couple of big hits, couple of other higher tempo songs, albeit a bit too long

Decent album that has some interesting sounds but overall, over the whole duration of the album, it just doesn't offer enough to justify more than being average

Great guitar play as always but the songs itself lack a real structure and are not much more than some jam sessions

Interesting combination out of some smooth R&B, some disco/funk and also some instrumentals with electric guitar. In the end of the day though not enough to warrant 4 stars

Quite an unorthodox, electronic sound, not bad but not my personal favourite. With more traditional hip hop beats, this could have been 4 stars

What an artistry! This is no ordinary hip hop album, this is a music album! Kanye is going places that I have never seen and imagined in this genre ever before! This album is proof that Kanye is just one of those guys that really can pull off anything, no matter how obscure or unorthodox the idea might be

What a fantastic album, super easy listening while never being dull, boring or simple. As always I love the guitar work of Stephen stills and them combining their voices with harmonies in the majority of the songs was the last puzzle piece that I was missing from their other albums

Unfortunately only a bit better than the Slim Shady LP. Still can't get behind the slim shady persona and it's silly, immature song topics. The more serious topics were the better songs however 2-3 good songs couldn't make up for the long runtime and a series of rather uninspiring songs

Interesting to hear such an old and early album and compare to where music has went since then

Not sure where the music in this one was.... Its just some experimental sounds with dinner table chatter in the background

Just your average, run of the mill alternative rock album without any lows or highs

Album started strong with the first three songs but afterwards fell off. The songs seemed artificially stretched by so la la instrumentals and lots of talking/whispering and overall quality went down

Decent alternative rock but without any real highlights or standout songs

Fairly standard New Wave without any highlights. If anything i found the music often to be cluttered and full with noises

While this album is full of songs that are raw, sounding the same and are hard to understand, there is just something very undeniably rock and roll about it. Hard to put it into words but the songs rock!

Typical honky tonk country, not bad to listen to over it's runtime of almost 40 minutes but offers little more than that

Surprisingly little rock but lots of instruments and "easy listening", reminded me almost of a rockier version of Steely Dan. Not bad but lacking anything outstanding or memorable

Easy listening album which gives out this naturally soothing and relaxing atmosphere. Would have preferred a little bit more diversity to push it up to 4 stars though

Not a bad album and I don't want to hate on the Beatles but especially taking into consideration the status the band and this album has, it is slightly disappointing. It's an album with good songs, thats for sure but especially 50 years later, the album just hasn't aged that well. Certainly not on par with some of the other albums that have shared the #1 spot here in the past

What a weirdly unique album. Genres and languages mixed that you don't often hear. However in the end, the big memorable thing about this album is the uniqueness, not the quality

Another of KDs albums that proves to be enjoyable with a little twist. This time the songs had a little "french"-touch to them. Interesting to hear but nothing that would prove to be a difference maker for a higher score

This album doesn't reinvent the wheel nor is it full of mega hits but the sheer raw power and emotion in Janis' voice make this album so unique and deserve the 4 stars

One can hardly call this music

A throwback to the Beach boys days however it still doesn't really reach me. The pop music is relaxed and easy listening but it doesn't really grab my attention etc

Like other jazz albums, nice to hear but not really fair to compare against popular music so just a standard 3 from me

Only a few songs available on Spotify but those few seemed enough to give a representative overview. 70s Soul combined with film soundtrack, decent music, nice to hear but that's about it

Their third album is the first one that is turning into the direction of the blues rock that made them so famous. While it can not compete with their later albums such as Sticky Fingers, it still provides good entertainment, for me mainly due to the instrumentations which, although a bit noisy and messy, has good guitar sounds and solos. The vocals are a bit too messy for me

Decent late 60s rock but besides the fact that this was probably one of the first concept albums, it's nothing remarkable

Compared to other punk albums, this is definitely the most beginner friendly and softest one, with visible pop influences. However that doesn't change the fact that the music itself is still not good and memorable enough for me to justify 4 stars

Reggae from Scotland, not a combination I would have ever expected. But regardless of that novelty, it was a fairly decent album

Again an interesting time warp back to the days where our parents weren't even born yet however of course music wise it's nothing to write home about more than 60 years later

Nothing new or surprising here, funk that is good for the background but that's it

Very similar story like their other album we listened to: starts out good with nice songs and harmonies that remind you of Simon & Garfunkel or Crosby, Stills & Nash however as the album goes on, one realizes that all the songs are very similar to each other and none really stands out. Not a bad album but I can't give this more than 3 stars again

How can one listen to this kind of music and not be jolly and wishing they were in a pub, raising a toast? Hard not to be instantly put into a good spirit listening to this album and while it was a wee bit long and lacked real stand out songs, it was overall a very enjoyable album that benefitted from its range of songs, from fast paced and more punkish to slower paced ballads, it had a little bit of everything

This album very much felt like a natural progression for Joni: as time does by, she (had to?) evolve a bit away from the stripped down, guitar-only music and this album proved that she could pull it off as well. A overall enjoyable album full of nice songs that maybe have a bit less storytelling quality but make it up with ncie but subtle background arrangements

Early 2000s alternative rock with a progressive edge. Starts out quite good but at the end of the day, the rather long runtime and the fact that a lot of songs have instrumental parts or not a classic song structure prevent a higher rstingy

Krautrock sounds to me always as if one turned the "progressive" dial a little bit too far. Just a bit too weird and experimental for me

Mariah has a good voice but even though this song was a departure from her usual pop towards more R&B the album was just kinda boring. A whole hour of slow ballads that all sound the same is just not that entertaining

What a great album, as always from Simon & Garfunkel. Not sure what's not to like, over 40 minutes, the album has everything. Slow ballads, fast paced folk songs, some experiments with Latin music and some filler songs that nobody would have missed.

Similar to the Talking Heads, this is synth pop-rock that is just not quite there yet. Relatively monotonous, it's a little bit of everything but not enough in either direction. Very neutral

Similarly to the Car album, this one could have been so much more entertaining if it was a bit more diverse and upbeat. In the end it was a rather boring and monotonous experience

Yet another electronic album, this one with half songs that are heavily influenced by different genres and the other ones purely instrumental. Unfortunately none of them at a rather good level but rather annoyingly bad

Another Leonard Cohen Album that provides you with good music but this one is even more slow and minimalistic than the previous one and thus is just a little bit too boring for me

Fast paced synth pop and catchy songs, over 50 minutes the Pet Shop Boys never fail to entertain

The A Side with its 4 powerhouse songs is among the best that's out there. The B side falls off,because while the songs are pretty much the same concept, they do not work as good as the previous ones and are way too long. Nonetheless a great album, however falls short of a masterpiece

Objectively not a bad album but just wasn't for me. The combination of funky, repetitive beats and the very casual and sometimes very basic lyrics and all that for an hour only aggregated me

Classic Heavy Metal from the 90s, not my favourite genre at all but this album managed to just stay within the "hardness"-threshold I can tolerate

Actually really liked this combination, dreamy, somewhat futuristic sounds paired with the perfect voice for it. Perfect for a summer day

Elvis Costello is always good for a enjoyable album. One of the biggest surprises in this experiment, I have yet to listen to a bad album of his. While his albums are not revolutionary or groundbreaking but they are consistently filed with good songs

What a wonderfully unique goodbye from Leonard, in a way just he could have done it. Simplistic background with a Blues Touch, paired with pretty much only melodic speaking and storytelling. Great atmosphere

Really surprised by this, expected nothing but just another average rock album but this was actually great. Fast paced rock, catchy melodies and songs that make you want to listen to more

Enjoyable album, reminds me a bit of the slower songs of REM. Nothing groundbreaking but just a good combination

An album that sounds very crowded and at time a bit overwhelming due to so many rappers at the same time. Despite that, the album left me fairly neutral, nothing really positive or negative to point out

This was just too "metal" for me. Too drums-focused and noisy and too little singing/too much screaming and growling

Britpop never fails to deliver. This one is a nice, although bit too long, mix of entertaining Britpop songs with a focus on the acoustic guitar

Electronic continues to be a genre which I don't understand and fail to see the appeal in. At times 7 minutes of the same 10-20 seconds beat looped endlessly

Nice rock opera but a bit long, no songs really standing out and a story that's interesting but hard to follow

Decent album that just has a bit too much going on for me. There was something about the combination of the singing and the eclectic, progressive and at times weird sound that just made the album feel very strenuous to listen to

Quite an enjoyable indie rock album! Great opening track and also the other songs didn't disappoint but made up for a high quality experience

Entertaining and catchy pop, just like it should be! Couple of big hits, great A side, decent B side.

Decent alternative rock album, reminding me a bit of REM. Unfortunately way too long and also not memorable enough to warrant anything more than a 3

Decent early honky tonk Country music. Nice to hear once but doesn't leave a lasting impression

What a unique album. A classical suite reinterpreted and extended by a prog rock band. Fantastic sounding live album

Just not my genre and the right in your face aspect of this album specifically made it even less enjoyable for me

Nick Cave is the master of vibes. Crazy how, even in this case with just a piano and his voice, he is able to literally paint pictures with his music. No song really stood out to me but it was overall a album full of high quality songs

Ryan Adams' debut album with a, for me, unexpected country sound. Not bad and has a great duet with Emmylou Harris but overall just not memorable enough to warrant more than 3 stars

All in all just a bit disappointing from such a big and hyped band. Besides One, no song stands out, they all sound kinda the same, too little focus on the guitar and overall just too long

A rather boring and unspectacular album. No song stood out and everything on this album has been heard many times from other artists

A few nice songs on there but overall just not special enough and too long to stand out of the masses

Generally I liked women in rock and while this wasnt bad, it was just a bit too messy and all over the place

Cluttered, ambiance loops that go on for too long. However, it wasnt fully awful enough to give it a 2

A strong voice, a style of music you don't hear every day and an armada of famous songwriters.... This album has all the ingredients for a great experience and it doesn't disappoint

Just a plain average album. Not bad but nothing really stood out in any way

Decent album, just like the comparable ones from this time and genre it was nice and interesting to hear but thats about it

Great entertaining album with fast paced songs and a good runtime. Definitely on the good side of the 4 star rating but lacking just one or two more big songs that stick out from the masses to get a 5 star rating from me

Decent rock album but that's about it, nothing remarkable or outstanding about it

Entertaining country rock album that on the long haul turns out to be too similar and without real highlights

Interesting to hear the early stages of punk, not as aggressive as punk became a few years later but certainly a departure of the rock that was prevalent in 73. The album was decent, good runtime, surprisingly preferred the faster songs over the slower ones at the end of the album

Decent and typical punk rock album without any highlights or standout moments

Synth-Pop that sticks out from the rest of the New Wave albums due to the unique addition of elements such as an organ, a gospel choir, a piano solo. A for effort and creativity

Coldplay always delivers good pop music. However, in the grand scheme of things, the album is good but thats it, no real highlights except for "Clocks" which is a nice throwback to my youth.

Nothing worthwhile really, no song stood out, singing voice was close to being annoying.... Next please

Enjoyable synth-pop album that delivers with a slight progressive edge. Cool vibe and a good time

Enjoyable and catchy album, reminded me a lot of a mixture of Pop-Punk and Celtic-Folk-Punk

Steely Dan just never fails to entertain. Great harmonies, great musicians, big variety of song styles and a great production. Top! 👍🏻

Decent country album without any highlights or standout songs

Morrissey is a guarantee for good music. Enjoyable album, without any big standouts but a high quality throughout

Just something I really like about the sound of REM. The guitars, Michael Stipe's voice, always a good time

Another punk rock album that gets palced next to the many others: not very remarkable, a bit too loud and aggressive and easily forgettable

Leave it to the Germans to produce music that sounds like you're stuck on Noah's Ark but in space

Another Morrissey Album and another good time. Although this time it was less brit-poppy and more rocky/rockabilly, it was again a decent performance. Again, not standout song that drives the album after a overall good album with a perfect runtime

Decent Hip Hop but nothing to write home about

Entertaining album without any real highlights or anything that make it hard to give more than the usual 3 stars

Definitely soundedway ahead of their time but ultimately the album failed to provide any highlights or standouts

Nice classic rock album that has an excellent sound quality for a live album but lacks a few bigger hits

Nice idea to explore things like throat singing but honestly the result of it didn't sound appealing at all so I cant even give this extra points for effort

Decent alternative rock but thats about it

Sounds like Bono found out about electricity. Nothing special

Just another average and forgettable album, this one especially was all over the place, each song seemed like a new adventure into a different subgenre, unfortunately not a very good one though

Surprisingly decent Post-Punk album with a few nice songs, overall though too little to get more than 3 stars

Sounds like some guys who wanted to emulate Pink Floyd but neither of them could play Guitar nor sing

Enjoyable Folk-Country album with a great runtime that ultimately though fails to leave a lasting impression with any of its songs

Enjoyable alt rock album with a sound typical of the early 2000s. Great runtime and overall catchy and entertaining songs

Morrissey never disappoints. He always delivers music that is versatile yet never lacks his own signature touch. Yet another good album with a perfect runtime

More than 80 minutes of forgettable nonsense. Thanks for nothing

Good album with very sophisticated rap/lyrics. Would have liked it to maybe be a bit more melodic/better beats but overall still great

Good music by PJ with a few cool songs. By the second half, the album got considerable more quiet and slow though and thus kinda lost the most enjoyable quality

Like other albums of this genre: Nice and interesting to hear, but nothing more

Just like the previous album by this artist, not sure whats so special about it that warrants two inclusions

Despite the big name artist, I can't help but to feel indifferent to this album. While the songs are good, they all kinda sound very similar and make the album feel very long

Biggest draw of this important album was definitely Biggies flow and rhymin skills. Even without being an expert onRap Lyrics, one could notice that he had the ability to make everything sound like a mean bar. Asides from this though, the album was rather long and for me didn't have enough stand out songs to warrant more than a standard 3 stars

Decent album with a few nice songs, bit reminiscent of Bruce Springsteen, but overall not outstanding enough to warrant a higher rating

Decent folk album, one of the first ones to use a Sitar

Also the second Doors album in this experient leaves me kinda cold. Just personally not my vibe, the songs are too similar and the concept of this relaxed half singing half speaking by Jim doesnt appeal to me

Decent rap, almost more R&B than Rap, but nothing groundbreaking

Very interesting and surprising album, definitely an aquired taste. The music wasnt bad per se, but the songs went on for too long and the album was almost more fit as background music

Another good Cohen album in his unmistakable style, rich in atmosphere and a good listen despite missing lots of variety

Definitely can hear the influence of this album in the typical synth pop in the 80s. Doesn't make this album necessarily more than average for my own taste but can appreciate the inclusion of it.

What a pleasant surprise after the previous Doors albums: great Blues rock album that doesn't have one or two big hits bit compels with a overall high quality of songs

There's just something very cool and chill about the Dire Straits sound. Absolutely love Mark's relaxed, almost deinterested singing style and how the guitar howls just perfectly every time, not too much, never too little, just perfect!

On goes the Blues Rock extravaganza! Eric delivers a great album filled with a mix of original songs and covers, but all of them with his own personal touch and twists. Love the guitar work, as always, and also really liked the laid back, chill vibe!

Good country/southern rock album fronted by two big songs. What keeps the album from 5 stars though is the fact that those two songs are by far the best ones of the album and the rest is not bad but also somewhat easy forgettable

Nice album with some fa ous and we'll known songs but ultimately it's just a genre that fails to grab me in, I remain very indifferent to it

Interesting album, very reminiscent of Tom Waits or Nick Cave. Liked the raspy voice, slow performance of the vocals in combination with the guitar play

Weird, weirder, The Cure. Never really know what to expect but it's always odd. Half the album is just some ambience. Not a fan, will never be one, but this was the definition of indifferent

Surprisingly entertaining album with Alex Turner's characteristic voice but more approachable, less Indie sounding songs than Arctic Monkeys

This was one very excentric and progressive jazz, wasn't a fan of it and it was way too long

What a fantastic surprise. From a great cover of Hallelujah to the other songs filled with great guitar work, nice drums and great vocals. This album flew under the radar when it was released but now over the years has finally gotten the recognition it deserves

Surprisingly good! Typical Indie sound of the late 2000s, few filler songs and generally songs dragging on a bit but overall catchy and easy listening songs

What a big box of chocolates, this album goes places..... Beatles, Dylan, The Who, Bowie, Supertramp, the list of artists that this sounds like is seemingly endless. Super catchy choruses paired with prog rock and an orchestra, what's not to love?

Typical late 80s, pre Brit Rock with a few decent songs but not enough to warrant more than 3 stars

A great combination of folk rock and progressive/psychodelica. The songs were all enjoyable and especially the mixing up of the vocals with male and female singer knew to convince

What a great album. Nothing revolutionary in terms of country but it's just so easy listening and enjoyable. Their three voices just combine perfectly

Long awaited and didn't disappoint. Lovely voice, beautiful songwriting, minimalistic yet never bring music

Decent, barebones hip hop from the early 90s with no real highlights or anything to make it stand out

An album that, in the sea of post punk albums, sinks rather quickly and remains forgotten

Another electronic album full with loops, random noise and repetitive beats

Decent album, nice runtime but ultimately nothing exciting or groundbreaking or even memorable to warrant more than a 3

Great guitar work in this one and even besides it, the songs had, for me, the perfect combination out of catchy music and metal-esque heavyness

Easy listening synth pop that, after 45 minutes, is catchy but just a bit too monotonous to secure 5 stars

Not my style of Jazz at all, the abrupt and unorthodox changes make it rather unsettling

Decent, fairly funky hip hop album without any standout heights

Because Eno strays from his own ambience niche by incorporating some normal songs with vocals in this album, it has to be compared to all the albums out there. And this is where the album fails to convince, it's just very unremarkable and forgettable

Nice music for the background but this album fails to grab any attention beyond the usual "standard" listening experience

Bruce is always a good time! Even in the early 2000s he proved that his typical style still works, while also showing some versatility by dabbling into other directions in this album

Bowie's biggest album is also one that can't live up to the hype. While not a bad album it just never captured you completely and made you say "Wow" like others of his albums and other albums that are commonly named in the same sentence, did

Interesting mix of genres but overall a rather monotonous album that's quickly forgotten

What a great album with an A side that is as good as it gets. Rest of the album falls off a little bit but the overall impression remains great

Unfortunately not much to it, lots of funky beats and electronic music, not much rapping and it all sounded the same

Decent Thrash Metal album, surprisingly melodic but missing standout songs and some guitar solos to be more than a 3

CCR never fails to deliver, although in comparison to the other albums, this one falls off slightly as the songs are not as catchy and easy listening

Entertaining mix of funk, alternative and rock. Literally enough of everything to make it interesting and diverse but not too much to make it not as accesible

This one was just too obscure or weird

Decent rap album with some big guests and a few good songs. Overall just a bit too much of a mix of r&b and hip hop rather than picking one side

Standard World Music 3 Star Rating

Entertaining rock & Roll album with some nice guitars and easy listening pop/rock

Not bad but just a bit too much progressive and not enough rock to keep me entertained and intrigued

Catchy, easy listening alt rock with a country/southern twang. Entertaining!

Decent but ultimately forgettable Punk album

Big hype around this and it defs had some potential with the sound. But it fails to deliver and live up to it. The songs are fast forgotten, nothing really stands out

Suprisingly mellow and good sounding post punk album. Tad bit long but overall an enjoyable album

Not bad but compared to their other albums this was pretty boring, everything sounded the same and only one hit/standout song.

Sounded like a 90s band playing 60s songs, so definitely some pioneering work done here, but ultimately the album is just a decent one

Entertaining album without a real highlight but an overall good and enjoyable quality of songs

Hard to define what made this album stand out, was just a overall easy listening, good mooded album

Again great musicianship by Waits but due to the Genre and the live recording style, it's just 3 stars from me

Just a very boring album. Every song sounded the same, nothing had any standout potential, and way too long

I thought this list was supposed to contain music albums, not just noise probably generated when one of the guys fell asleep on the sound machine

Grear album by Bowie, maybe missing the big grandeur of his later work but maybe because of that, this album feels more down to earth and personal

Enjoyable, easy listening album with a surprising range of instruments. Ultimately just falls short of 4 stars though

Unnecessary and boring

The electronic distortion and singing voice is not for everyone and I myself am still not 100% convinced by it, but that doesn't change the fact that it's a great rock album with couple of bangers that rock hard! 🤘🏻

Neil is always good for a good album. This one though is just good, it doesn't provide enough to warrant a 5 star rating

Out of all non-popular music styles, Tango probably is the least suited one for pure listening. Not a necessary great experience

Not a bad album but also without any highlights or justification why it needs to be on this list

Like the other ones, it's a decent album for education purposes but that's about it

Great debut album by the Eagles, really liked the sound here which I felt was more raw and actually more blues-rock esque than their later albums. Reminded me a bit more of CCR

Rather annoying back and forth between punk and new wave but overall not bad enough to warrant 2 stars

While I liked it better than some other Beatles Albums since it's shorter and easier listening since it's not as "artsy", it is lacking a few more memorable songs to be 5 stars

As always a enjoyable album, good runtime, easy listening, what's not to like

Surprisingly not too bad for an electronic album because it did have some vocals, guitar, drums, making it sometimes seem like an actual pop/rock album

Definitely a very unorthodox listening experience but oddly enough, the longer it went on, the more okay I got with it

Decent, enjoyable take on those famous songs.

Enjoyable folk-pop with a good voice. Would give this 3,5 stars but ultimately falls just short of 4 for me

What an intriguing album. Weirder songs like the Bürgermeister one and the barber shop one, combined with songs that are very grandeur and pompous. The "weirder" songs kinda disrupt the flow of the album, but the other songs are good enough to give this 5 stars. Likely an album that grows on you with each listen

Great album, few big hits but even besides those, every other song "belongs" and is a great rock song

Decent Rap album, personally not the biggest fan of the "couple of guys yelling one after each other"-style to rap

“A decent 60s rock album that ventures outside the boundaries of the expected”

Not sure what it was exactly but something about this album that just sounded so relaxing and cool

Not bad but unfortunately another missed opportunity as I just think the harder rock style of La Grange fits them much better than the softer rock style of the rest of the album

Always tough and almost unfair to rate a Live album against studio albums due to their "best of "-nature. This specific one pits Metallica with a whole orchestra, something that definitely works well in general but nonetheless becomes a bit of a gimmick and just sort of "it's there but doesn't improve anything"

Surprisingly enjoyable alternative rock album with lots of influences. Little bit classic rock here, little bit pop here, little bit punk or metal here. Bonus points for the catchy harmonies

For Iggy Pop a surprisingly calm and normal album. Decent background music but the lack of real hits make it fall short of 4 stars

Surprisingly modern album by Cohen which still works good with his singing style. The faster music is a good counter balance to his slow, almost spoken like singing style

Enjoyable, easy-listening alt rock album. The songs have a happy vibe to them, similar to the pop-punk of the early 2000s, which made the difference for me between 3 and 4 stars

Decent Reggae-Album which doesn't do anything really new and doesn't change my view of the genre either

Even with an earlier album that has less of a legacy than the later ones, the Beatles know to entertain. Short, fast songs with easy melodies. Nothing wrong with that even though they of course lack the depth of their later works

Enjoyable album without any standout songs but an overall nice atmosphere, created by Joni's voice and the Jazz instruments

Another electronic album, yihaaaaa......... Not.... Just more of the same old, you listen to one song and you've heard it all. Nothing exciting, nothing that stands out or is worth remembering

While it's still not my genre, this wasn't too bad. The beats and melodies are simple yet entertaining. Overall just too long and repetitive but taking into account the release year, I guess I'll be lenient and give this 3 stars

Interesting mix of many different styles/genres, not what I expected. But certainly not bad either. In the end though, the lack of a couple powerhouse songs and the missing red line makes this only a 4 star album

Another Punk album, although this one atleast stands out due to the fact it has a female singer. That makes the album better however the lack of standout songs means that this stays at 3 stars

What a ride this one was. Probably the weirdest album so far but if you ignore the tracks that are just speech or noise, you are actually left with some good psychedelic rock songs with funny/satirical and most importantly entertaining lyrics. This is definitely an album that you either love or completely hate but I'm willing to give this some credit

As always, Celtic influenced rock/punk is just a banger. This one is no different, very entertaining album that only suffers from being a bit too long and generally the songs sounding very similar

Unfortunately another New Wave album that isnt bad but fails to leave a lasting impression or stand out from the masses

A very Rolling Stones-esque album by The Stooges which has a good runtime however fails to leave any lasting impression with any of their songs to justify more than 3 stars.

Enjoyable music for the background, standard "non-pop-music'" three star rating from me

While one has to acknowledge the, for the time, innovative sound and message behind the lyrics, ultimately it's just too barebones and non melodic for me

Great flowing lyrics, high tempo and dark beats make up for the little bit too long runtime

The Beatles from a parallel universe as I like to call them. Enjoyable album with their signature folk-pop with an edge sound

Good, sophisticated and high quality rap album. The lack of any stand out songs though made it tough for me to rate it more than 3 stars

Decent albeit unspectacular album that is quickly forgotten

Good hard rock album that ultimately though falls short of a 5 star rating and to living up to it's hype due to there being too little stand-out songs that drive the album and the lack of personal connection the songs, especially the guitar solos, were able to generate

Enjoyable album with a few standout songs. Overall though, over the course of almost 1 1/2 hours, those songs prove not enough to propell the album to more than 3 stars

Not a bad album but overall just very average and uneventful, not much to say about this

Interesting Jazz album that I found quite different from the other ones, this ones sound and composition remembering me a lot more of classic music actually

A very uneventful and unnecessary album that was also plagued by awful (or intentially awful) mixing

Probably one of the best Electronic Albums so far on this list because the songs don't just consist of 20 seconds looped over and over again

Nice sounding Americana that is soothing but also a little bit too monotnous

While the concept album conveyed the angst and dreary feeling of the story very well, the music itself was just not for me. Heavily distorted, at times hard to even understand the lyrics and songs that were long and often without highlights

Ultimately just a very boring album with no real highlights

Decent world music, standard 3 stars

Decent, enjoyable country album

Unspectacular and quick forgotten Alt Rock album

Enjoyable Soul & R&B album that had a little blues edge

Decent album without highlights that is mainly remembered for some lyrical content that didn't age well

Overall just a fairly boring album, every track sounded more or less the same and it wasn't very exciting

Nirvana did a fantastic job here making an album that sounds as if they are old pros in the folk rock genre.

Modern punk album without any real highlights that more or less only has its short runtime going for itself

That was more or less a waste of space and time. Some weird electronic rap, not sure what this even was

Enjoyable electro pop without any stand out songs but still a decent listen

Not bad but just very very uneventful, boring and way too long

Standard 3 Star world music rating

Sounds like Steely Dan, could be Steely Dan, is 50% of Steely Dan. Even without his partner, Fagen created a great album that could easily have been a Steely Dan album, both in the way it sounds and how good it is. Only criticism would be the songs dragging on a little bit
