Neil Young & Crazy Horse
1/5
I stand on principle: I hear Neal Young -> instant 1 star.
I loved albums from bad singers. At least they had something to say with creative lyrics.
I loved stripped down/raw/(fill in next cliche here) albums because they had still some creative energy and some surprising songwriting.
I think I loved some albums with a violin thrown in the middle of a track because it added something meaningful to a song.
But this one takes the cake. Checks all the boxes without any redeeming feature. Bland, boring, average everything. And that god awful voice saying the most uninteresting words.
And theres a violin screeching the same fucking high pitched note on Running Dry. Props to the sound engineer to had to endure that.
Oddly enough, I've heard worse Neil Young albums. An extra 0.5 points for the parts where he shuts up and the band just jams.
1.5 total which I will round DOWN to 1 out of spite.

4/5
Outstanding! I love Jim Steinman's over the top, theatrical way of writing. It's like listening to a movie. A silly one, granted, but the experience is always dramatic and such a thrill ride.
To be honest, the album could have had white noise after the title track and my score would have been the same.
Absolute beast: Bat out of hell
Also awesome: You took the words tight out of my mouth

The Byrds
2/5
nice vocal harmonies. in the second half it sort of looses focus. the first couple of songs are good: 5D and spaceman
Sam Cooke
4/5
4.5 - wow such incredible energy. great tunes and electric atmosphere. amazing
Lucinda Williams
2/5
I guess it's all right. most songs give me a sheryl crow wibe, but with twangy guitars. the hit (can't let go) is ok. not my thing, but it's not terrible either
Cream
2/5
psychedelic blues. great musicianship. I like the tracks where clapton sings lead. also appreciate that they kept it to 3 min songs instead of the usual never ending improv sessions.
not an every day listen, but it does the job. 2.5
Muddy Waters
2/5
2.5 - essential blues right here. band is so tight, it's amazing. hoochie coochie man is the standout for me.
Bebel Gilberto
2/5
enjoyable but it's not my thing. i guess you have to be in the mood for some chill bossa nova
The Clash
3/5
3.5 - what an awesome album. white riot, police and thieves and janie jones are great tracks. half a star off for some of the filler in the second half of the album. but overall a very powerful message and delivery.
David Crosby
2/5
ok, i guess. it's fine but i can't see myself coming back to it in the future
Beatles
5/5
what an absolute jewel.
come together, something, oh darling, here comes the sun, golden slumbers/carry that weight, the end.
the early part of the medley doesn't do it for me (sun king and mr mustard) and i think "i want you" drags on for a bit too long.
i was tempted to score it 4.5 because of these, but the good parts are too good. 5 stars. incredible.
Queen
3/5
3.5 - Prophet's Song and Bohemian Rhapsody are immense. Extraordinary composition, arrangement and production.
john deacon is a groove machine with You're my Best Friend and Love of My life is one of the best ballads ever.
Still, a few songs don't really do it for me: Sweet Lady, Seaside Rendezvous, Good Company, In Love with my Car, 39 . They're ok but I wouldn't come back to them.
Neil Young

Dwight Yoakam

1.5 - mostly bland and boring. not my thing. 0.5 for I Sang Dixie which is ok
David Bowie
2/5
funky and soul bowie. an enjoyable listen, flows nicely.
no stand out songs though.
Metallica
4/5
Massive album. Extremely well produced and written.
Sooo much groove and swing in the rhythm section.
Down picking riff master Hetfield outdid himself on this one. All the riffs are classics at this point. They have punch, power and they hook you instantly.
Solos are melodic and well thought out never too much and always complement the songs. Ver very well put together piece of music.
Some filler (eg Holier than thou or The struggle within), but even that doesn't detract from the overall quality.
Parliament
2/5
2.5 - overall enjoyable. does get quite repetitive and all the songs seems pretty much the same.
lyrics are funny, though.
Love
1/5
1.5 - first half is almost unlistenable. second half (the 18 min song) has it's good parts. I would not come back to this
Madonna
3/5
Title track is by far the best song on the album. What a great tune. That drum beat is amazing.
I also liked Cherish. Makes me think of True Blue.
The second half of the album doesn't do it for me.
Kanye West
2/5
The Jesus And Mary Chain

Sam Stone - wow, this one hits so hard. I was listening to the album in the background not really noticing anything when THAT lyric caught me right in the head: "There's a hole in daddy's arm, where all the money goes". holy fuck what a song.
Paradise tells a heartbreaking story as well. great song.

Let's keep it on the level
When I walked away from you
I turned my back on the devil
Turned my back on the angel, too
They oughta give my heart a medal
For letting go of you.
When I turned my back on the devil
Turned my back on the angel, too
At first I thought you would need to be in the mood to listen to this. But this album just stopped me in my tracks no matter what I was doing. There's something about Cohen that just grabs me and makes me listen. The coolest dude ever.
The lyrics and that amazing growling voice hit so hard. The melodies are heartbreaking. Instrumentation is surprisingly varied for each song, but it's never too much. Just enough to complement and amplify the song and the words.
What a way to go, Mr Cohen.

Maybe it's because of personal bias because I grew up with Bad and Dangerous, but Thriller never did it for me. It was before my time. On the following albums there's more of MJ and less and less of Quincy Jones. I prefer it when Michael is at the helm.
Sure, the three songs in the middle are absolute monsters plus I've always had a soft spot for Human Nature. But everything else on the album doesn't live up to the big 3 (Thriller, Beat it, Billie Jean).

oh wow, this was a rollercoaster ride. smooth, funky, punkish, jazzy, beats galore. I had no idea this album was this entertaining.
granted, it's on a downward slope towards the second half, but still good enough for me.
definitely did not expect groovy instrumental tracks on a rap album: Sabrosa, Ricky's theme and even Flute Loop for the most part.
added bonus: so THIS is where the Prodigy got the sample for funky shit :). It caught me completely by surprise in the middle of Root Down
this album is a keeper. goes in the collection

For the life of me I don't get what the big deal is with this album.
Yeah, ok, those were innovative recording techniques for 1966. They layered a lot of instruments and there's a theremin in there, yay!
Give me Phil Spector's wall of sound any day if the goal is to stuff an entire horn orchestra on a track.
For me the songs just drag on and on with the same mid to low tempo, same vocal lines and harmonies. No power, no real groove. The entire sound is really dated.
It's not bad, it's just ...meh. But I guess it should deserve some credit since (for some reason) it influenced every musician alive at that time.
If McCartney felt inspired and wanted to out do himself because of Pet Sounds, then I guess it does deserves some credit. We got Sgt Pepper and Abbey Road out of this, so no a bad deal.

I stand on principle: I hear Neal Young -> instant 1 star.
I loved albums from bad singers. At least they had something to say with creative lyrics.
I loved stripped down/raw/(fill in next cliche here) albums because they had still some creative energy and some surprising songwriting.
I think I loved some albums with a violin thrown in the middle of a track because it added something meaningful to a song.
But this one takes the cake. Checks all the boxes without any redeeming feature. Bland, boring, average everything. And that god awful voice saying the most uninteresting words.
And theres a violin screeching the same fucking high pitched note on Running Dry. Props to the sound engineer to had to endure that.
Oddly enough, I've heard worse Neil Young albums. An extra 0.5 points for the parts where he shuts up and the band just jams.
1.5 total which I will round DOWN to 1 out of spite.
