Café Tacvba
2/5
I am Latin, but I have never been a big fan of Cafe Tacuba, I consider that only the classics Ingrata and Las Flores truly stand out, since it seems like a mistake to fill an album with irrelevant songs or, on the contrary, only include songs to meet a quota . Most of the songs didn't provoke me at all, they are quite insipid in their experimentality.

They have interesting music and sound with a mix of seventies and modern influences but it seems to me that they never really take off, they don't get enough stimulation.

Hombres G
5/5
It has at least 6 tracks that are not wasted, pop rock that crossed borders from Spain to Latin America in the eighties and that persists to this day transgenerationally. With a bit of punk, pop, rock and ballad influences, Hombres G gave us a small album but one of the most solid and memorable among his discography.

The Hold Steady
1/5
The vocalist is very much on top of the music and you feel more noise and interruption. And the music is better than him.
Alexisonfire
2/5
Noise, acceleration, loud voices...I know that's what the genre is like, but it's not something you'll enjoy if it's not exactly what you're looking for. The musicians with their instruments, however, are great.
Josh Ritter
3/5
Harmony, good lyrics, good rhythm...invites you to enjoy and listen to him calmly.
Earth, Wind & Fire
2/5
harmonious but conventional, a lot of sound and disco rhythm of the time.
Korn
3/5
Great rhythm, rhythmic highs of voice, excellent music...perhaps the vocals suddenly saturate and become tiring.
Boy Azooga
2/5
They have interesting music and sound with a mix of seventies and modern influences but it seems to me that they never really take off, they don't get enough stimulation.
Marillion
1/5
a light, repetitive pop rock without hype
The Beautiful South
1/5
Very calm, soft pop, sometimes boring or slow
They Might Be Giants
2/5
Good sound, good rhythms, regular voice but not so transcendental for me.
Wussy
1/5
It feels too indie, despite being contemporary it sounds quite seventies. Suddenly I went unnoticed.
Courteeners
1/5
They do not have a great vocal voice and yet their vocals are too high for the music, which makes the songs tired or dull.
Scraping Foetus off the Wheel
1/5
Hard rock very close to something like trash, the interpretation dances more between noise than music
Roger Waters
3/5
Excellent music, his voice not so interesting.
100 gecs
1/5
Good electronic beat with vocals that seem intentionally diffuse. It caught my attention that they have a slight eighties feeling, but suddenly it turns into very noisy or unclear music... it's a strange mashup of tracks that doesn't quite define itself.
Bloc Party
2/5
I like the style of vocal proposal, excellent instruments, however as it progressed it seemed inconsequential.
Childish Gambino
1/5
There's no impressive, energizing or motivating rhythm, ...it's just conventionally boring.
Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band
3/5
Good and beautiful seventies rock with the avant-garde of what was coming in the eighties. Seger's voice would be iconic and imitable on an album that gives us rock and ballads without pretensions. He also gives us a classic with Old Time
Sufjan Stevens
1/5
It's like trance music, for an astral trip ha ha. It's not for me.
Primus
2/5
Too moved in the desire to be intense, not entirely bad, however very average.
The Marcus King Band
2/5
It is a contemporary album and yet it seems from another era, it is not very transcendental or addictive music but in the end it works.
Billy Squier
3/5
Good eighties rock in all its splendor, with rhythmic songs and also gives us the Lonely classic!
Hombres G
5/5
It has at least 6 tracks that are not wasted, pop rock that crossed borders from Spain to Latin America in the eighties and that persists to this day transgenerationally. With a bit of punk, pop, rock and ballad influences, Hombres G gave us a small album but one of the most solid and memorable among his discography.
The B-52's
3/5
Even though they are from the eighties, they still retain influences from the sixties and seventies, very go-go music with good drums. For this reason, their music is very rhythmic and danceable that the entire album could be a single melody that can be good and harmful at the same time.
Savages
1/5
The musicians are good, the voice however seemed dark or sectarian cult to me.
Some musical endings are pure unnecessary stridency.
Death Cab for Cutie
1/5
Nothing happened to me with this album, I listened to it and suddenly forgot I was listening to it. Sorry
Marillion
1/5
For my taste it was very numbing or just for background, the kind of music that while you listen to it you think about something else except the effect of the music, I don't remember a single memorable track.
The Burning Hell
2/5
Very strange, it's like a wordy troubadour with retro rhythms, a hint of Costello...it becomes tiring like listening to singers in a church.
Café Tacvba
2/5
I am Latin, but I have never been a big fan of Cafe Tacuba, I consider that only the classics Ingrata and Las Flores truly stand out, since it seems like a mistake to fill an album with irrelevant songs or, on the contrary, only include songs to meet a quota . Most of the songs didn't provoke me at all, they are quite insipid in their experimentality.

Kano
1/5
What can I say...it sounded like very generic hip hop, I've heard better, I thought it might surprise me by not knowing it, but I didn't get a single track. Sorry
Adam Green
1/5
There are boring albums and...this one. It seems like a great half-hour song with the same rhythms and arrangements of a singer who seems to be talking to his guitar.
Mull Historical Society
2/5
This artist, despite being modern, gave me the impression that he has an influence from the fifties and sixties, his melodies are ambient, very similar to those used to set television series and movies. He didn't surprise me, but he's not bad either.
2.5 stars
LaBelle
3/5
Disco vibe, very Aretha, nice...but nothing more.
The Jesus Lizard
2/5
The music is good, the voice doesn't seem to me to be enough and he has the type of speaker rather than an interpreter. The voice is simply "unreadable."
2.5 stars
Freddie Gibbs
1/5
Quite boring, hypnotizing hip hop because of how repetitive it is. Maybe the lyrics have content but they are irrelevant in the face of such simple music.
Gang of Youths
2/5
As in the first tracks there are singers or groups that are vocally similar, at times the songs become heavy, melancholic and dull enough to make you yawn, then they recompose and generally pass.
2.5 stars
The Upsetters
1/5
A kind of hypnotic and repetitive reggae... the truth is that I've had enough of this type on the main list, it's music to get high on.
The best thing is the pulp cover of the gorilla.
Igorrr
2/5
It is classified as metal, but it sounds to me like agonizing cult noises, accompanied by good percussion and isolated chants that will probably please those who like these representations but it is not for me.
Vampire Weekend
1/5
From its name I thought it would be something a little rougher, it is called rock but it is something softer and closer to pop with influences like reggae or Caribbean.
The truth is that it didn't excite me much, it didn't turn me on and it seemed to me like just another album among the indie proposals... come on, not even their most successful track achieved it!
1 1/2 stars
Snarky Puppy
3/5
Excellent instrumentalists, they reminded me of the music used in TV series, movies and live shows, especially from the 70's; they could fit into the score of any audiovisual product, either as incidental music or as an introduction.
I don't give it more stars because it's not supposed to include only music without vocals on this list.
Hikaru Utada
2/5
The whole time I was imagining the intro of some anime or soap opera. I feel that the music has a somewhat repetitive style or sound since there are several songs that seem like a single track but in a bad way, which can end up being tiring. The ballads are nothing special and rather lower the intensity of the album, which is not very intense. Even the most played hits made me sleepy.
Graham Parker
3/5
He reminded me a bit of Elvis Costello, he has a good rock vibe in some songs, moving in a sixties-seventies style for being from the late seventies. However, I don't think any hit stands out.
Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass
3/5
Good music, inviting you to rest and relax to enjoy it. However, it cannot avoid the retro style, from its album cover to its jazz music.
Short and compact in its intentions, made to measure for the music of TV series and movies.
A taste of honey is its best track.
3 1/2 stars because it gives me everything that a music album can give without songs.
Oingo Boingo
2/5
The whole 80s feel only highlights the success of Weird Science as a kind of one hit from the album and separates it quite a bit from the other tracks that seem more like a compilation of songs in accelerated mode.
Honestly, it seemed to me to be just another album from the 80s.
2 1/2 stars.
Debbie Gibson
2/5
A very light pop, very much for young girls of the time. I couldn't find a track that seemed explosive enough for a radio repeater, I think it's more of a run of the mill among all the good pop that there was in the eighties.
The Alan Parsons Project
2/5
It "happened to me overnight", my brain pushed it to the background. It certainly works as an atmosphere, but beyond that it didn't stimulate me. I have a problem with all the albums that seem like scores, because since scores aren't allowed on the lists, I feel that they are convenient or deceitful to judge them equally with those that contain lyrics.
Valerie June
1/5
It bored me terribly, it's not for me. Even the stronger tracks didn't make a difference that excited me, I think it's for more niche tastes.
The Tragically Hip
2/5
They have good music, but the singer doesn't seem very appealing to me, he has a lazy voice. Their best hit is somewhat ordinary.
To be classified as rock, there is a lot to be desired.
Robyn Hitchcock
2/5
I don't think it's rock as it is classified, however it is interesting and I consider it to be more based on the lyrics than on the music, like a kind of trova. I didn't find it outstanding and in the long run it was a bit tedious.
MF DOOM
2/5
I'm not a big hip hop expert so I usually find any performer generic and this is the case. I wasn't surprised by any beat so I can only rate on that.
Chet Baker
3/5
It is a very enjoyable jazz album, but it is still just music, which makes it a kind of lounge score for film or TV, so I cannot classify it as an album with performers.
2.5 stars.
Ani DiFranco
2/5
At times I felt like I was listening to Alanis Morrisette, then it changes enough, again and again... it is noticeable an experimental album that works well in itself, however for my taste it is not the genre that I like.
Freestylers
2/5
Very good beat, but too repetitive for my taste, and the same rhythmic position can get tiring. But in general the tracks hold up well.
Nik Kershaw
2/5
The truth is that it's an album that bored me, I couldn't get any emotion out of it. At the beginning I had expectations, but track by track they faded away. I felt like one of those artists from the eighties who arrived one day and faded away in the face of the consolidated successes of the time.
The War On Drugs
3/5
He says it's rock but it's nothing like that. It has "nostalgic" rhythms, semi-slow and reminds me a little of Cold Play. I find the album very average, not surprising but balanced, which makes it enjoyable.
Salif Keita
2/5
Well, this album seemed to me to be very ethnic, and since it is so long for an album of this type, I found it very tedious to listen to. I suppose that for its origin it is fine, and trying to be objective, it seemed to me to be an average album, I am unable to understand it beyond my lack of knowledge.
2/5
At first it seemed promising, as it really sounded like rock, however as the tracks progressed it fell flat for me, it didn't achieve intensity and the music dominated over the vocals making it diffuse and causing it to pass without pain or glory.
Damien Rice
2/5
I thought it was music for a low mood, which can be fine for 2 or 3 songs that calm you down or endure the sadness, but a 50-minute album was too much for me.
The Mountain Goats
1/5
I'm bored out of my mind, how can they classify this as Rock on the record? Even their best tracks don't work for me...next.
Gurrumul
2/5
Too ethnic for me, and not to mention the length. It has interesting sounds, they reminded me of the background music in the movies and that can be appreciated, but the vocals in their original language take me somewhere else. I appreciate that they want to send ethnic or cultural representatives but not all of us can appreciate and understand it as it should be in its place of origin.
GAS
1/5
Unexpected...I thought it was going to be electronic music and I came across some "induction" type sounds like those that abound on YouTube, for relaxation purposes or other things I wouldn't have thought of.
I didn't like it either as a lounge or to pass the time because the "trance" lasts too long, it's not for me.
Joan As Police Woman
2/5
He has a melancholic voice and performance, and his songs take me to moments of introspection. They sound to me like songs someone would be playing in the background at a bar. It's a bit heavy because of its length.
Arthur Russell
1/5
It sounds like music designed for an astral "tripper." It made me feel lazy and melancholic, which are not very welcome emotions for music. Sorry, but it won't be for me.
The Amazing Devil
1/5
The Wikipedia page is not correct, so I can't detect what story there is in this album. It seems to me to be more of an indie troubadour proposal with momentary high choruses looking for epicness to stand out.
The truth is that, given the cover, I was expecting something more challenging in terms of rock, but well, we are always going to be surprised by album covers.
Sunny Day Real Estate
2/5
It has a good style, however I think it fails to take off, most of the album feels flat, stuck in a cycle with the same intensity, there are instruments that stand out or feel too loud. Their main singles defend them enough.
Mogwai
2/5
I had heard of Mogwai through reference to Gremlins but had never listened to them. I'm actually surprised that it was just music, which is fine but I'm disappointed that there are no vocals making the music just an ambient background while I was doing my activities. It doesn't leave me with a great "taste" for what I had known about them.
1/5
Another "rock/folk" ... the truth is I'm tired of this mix of genres, it seems that each one wants to recommend "a better one" of them.
The music doesn't seem special to me and sometimes I feel that the vocalist is trying to be too retro folk, it's like that music you'd expect to find in a bar somewhere on a melancholic afternoon... a feeling or mood that I'd rather avoid.
Killswitch Engage
2/5
It has excellent music, and I understand that this is what metal is like, but for my taste the vocalist has gone too far in his interpretation "two volume bars" above. I consider that it is not necessary to shout excessively to make a good METAL, since you can cancel out a lot of the work of the musicians and the lyrics.
2 1/2 stars
Mary Chapin Carpenter
2/5
A very "peaceful" country song, a bit saccharine, which I actually didn't really enjoy. It serves well as background music for listening to "something." The woman has a good voice, but I feel that she chose the wrong genre. I think that another type of interpretation would suit her better.
Khruangbin
2/5
This is a lounge or erotic movie atmosphere 😆...
No, seriously this type of album is one of those that I consider unfair because it is based on only music without interpretation, so it cannot go further in rating in relation to music with lyrics or performer.
2.5 stars
Stars
1/5
I wasn't very happy with it, I played it and barely noticed it was there. I had a hard time understanding its approach as the whole album seems like one musical idea. Sorry, it wasn't for me.
Jai Paul
1/5
I was annoyed by that experiment with fades as if it were a damaged vinyl, the music is not "anything out of this world" to take such experimental liberties.
Streetlight Manifesto
1/5
Well, the rhythms are what it aims for... acceleration and that's what it causes, it's fine for those who like it, but to me it only seems like music to "jump" at parties with certain South American influences.
The Hold Steady
1/5
In a previous album of theirs I had already mentioned that the interpreter was a failure and that the musicians were outstanding, so I can't say more than the pattern is repeated, one annihilates the other.
I really don't know why you like this group so much.
Jimmy Eat World
2/5
They are good musicians, good performers, however their most popular songs are not to my particular taste, they have potential with that style that draws from the classic combined with the modern.
Touché Amoré
3/5
I loved the music, it reminded me of the rhythms they play in Japan, however the singer did not convince me, he is the classic performer who wants to do everything by shouting, I know that is how punk rock or metal is, but I think there should be a balance of volume that does not harm the music.
2.5 stars
Crash Test Dummies
2/5
I think the group, vocalist and musicians have more potential, but the songs don't exploit it.
Sometimes I felt like I was listening to gospel with country.
Their best track "how does a duck know"
Overall it wasn't to my liking, sorry.
Anaïs Mitchell
2/5
Interesting proposal with retro overtones, but nothing spectacular. A very long album for this type of more "passive" performance, it was tiring.
Pink Floyd
2/5
For my taste, it was too experimental to be Pink Floyd. It worked in the background while I was doing other activities, but that made it go almost unnoticed.
2/5
It started out pretty interesting, but as it progressed I lost it. Just like the name of the band is LOW, and it even seems like music that invites you to relax and sleep.
Shania Twain
3/5
A very versatile, compact album that maintains the same level and contains her hits of the time, a country-pop-ballad with great energy. Possibly the best of her career.
Chappell Roan
2/5
This woman has great vocal energy, her music represents that dynamism and rhythm. I don't feel that the album has any songs that stand out as a hit, however it is a very consistent album in most of its tracks.
The Dear Hunter
1/5
Honestly, I didn't find it relevant, they don't have anything that makes them special and it could be music from any average band and I even found it tiring since it doesn't seem to have a single hit in more than an hour of duration.
Cardiacs
1/5
Fast-paced noise, cartoon-like sounds, random sounds...that's what I found on this album. More than an hour of the same stuff was too much.
Maybe I don't appreciate this kind of proposals, but that's just my feeling.
Calibro 35
2/5
Well, another ambient, lounge music album that I can't rate equally as an album with music and lyrics like most on the lists, so there's not much to say other than that it's just okay.
Faith No More
2/5
In general I can say that they play well, they make good metal, however I was not moved by any of their songs, which takes away their merits in a genre like this.
Biffy Clyro
3/5
They play very well, they have good music, they are balanced but their songs did not motivate me, I don't know, something is missing. Maybe a couple of hits that define the album more.
The National
2/5
Their drummer is great, so much so that he lifts up the songs because otherwise they would be on the ground. The vocalist has his style and it is understandable, but I think the musicians are more powerful than this relaxed rhythmic style that does not fit well enough in all the tracks.
Tori Amos
2/5
I've always thought Tori Amos had a very "Disney" voice, so that's not the reason she's for me. However, she has a very well-tuned voice, with a good level of interpretation... but that's all.
Screaming Females
2/5
I was quite enjoying their music, but as the tracks progressed, I lost it. Suddenly it seemed intelligible to me, the pace accelerated unnecessarily, the vocalist takes her music in a continuous revolution and in my opinion persuades her musicians to do the same. The few songs that have a more relaxed rhythm work much better.
They have good musicians, but overall I didn't really like it.
2.5 stars
Avicii
1/5
There are tracks that are outside the concept of electronic music and are the ones that hinder the album, since they are not well made and are boring as hell. The beats and music are the strong points of the album, but as soon as Avicii wants to sing more than he should, something goes wrong.
It lacks strength 1 1/2 stars.
The Sound
2/5
It's easy to listen to, it's enjoyable in most of its tracks, it has good musicians. However, I didn't find it transcendent beyond a regular album.
Harmonium
1/5
This album feels old, it has aged badly because it doesn't even feel classic. Being in another language makes the challenge of getting to grips with it even more complicated because the vocalists sound very slow in their phrasing and the beats of the music don't help them much either. The result is that after a short time the album seems very heavy to listen to because of its length.
The Chats
3/5
A little bit of speed and excitement in the songs but with great energy. Perhaps what is a bit disappointing is that the whole album could be just one song because they practically sound the same. However, it is appreciated that it does not take up much time and thus avoids being annoying... oh, and they have a chorus dedicated to Superman.
Shudder To Think
2/5
It is a very interesting mix of music and interpretation, with ups and downs in rhythm, contrasting the melancholic atmosphere of the song with a progression that rises with the drums and bass, however in its summary it did not convince me enough.
Kayo Dot
1/5
I didn't understand the proposal, for me it's music and that's it, from lounge to simple noise... if there's no song it's an album based more on sounds, which seem like a hypnotic trance.
Very lazy
Transvision Vamp
2/5
I like the interpretive and musical rhythm, however I think the album doesn't quite take off and just stays put, maybe it needed some more consistent and catchy songs.
Vulfpeck
2/5
At the beginning it has a hint of a seventies rhythm with Caribbean rhythms that I even thought was not modern.
For a live performance it must have been very lively and energizing, I liked the percussion, but then it became very "Stevie Wonder" with jazz, trumpets everywhere and so on, which frankly seemed to me "a smoothie that I didn't like enough."
2.5 stars
Jeff Rosenstock
1/5
A rather messy punk that is not easy to listen to or enjoy in its highest notes. I was not convinced by the album, neither with the singles nor in the sense of enjoyment. What's more, it doesn't even last an hour and I found it very tedious.
John Martyn
1/5
Quite inconsequential, compared to what was going on in the eighties, this album doesn't seem relevant to me, nor a lost gem from that decade that needed to be rescued.
It gave me the impression that I was listening to music to liven up restaurants.
Pigeons Playing Ping Pong
2/5
Well, another album in which the musicians are judged more than the performer and based on covers. They are good musicians, with good rhythm and timing, but that's it.
An album to have as a background... nothing more.
2.5 stars
Roky Erickson
2/5
It's good rock, but I didn't find anything transcendent, I didn't find any hits that made my skin crawl. To be honest, it's very generic.
Death
1/5
At first the music was going very well, until the vocalist started to play in the same mold as any pretentious metalhead.
I personally don't like that style of "screaming" performances, especially when they don't project anything beyond an aggressive meaning.
1.5 stars
Joe Cocker
2/5
I think it's good for its time but a bit weak for the passage of time due to the very marked rhythms of that time, which makes it very niche if you're looking for that in particular.
2.5 stars
Teenage Fanclub
1/5
Well, this proposal went from more to less, as the tracks progressed it became boring because the songs "tasted" the same.
1.5 stars
The Cure
2/5
I don't know the album, but at first glance it seemed like something experimental for The Cure. Frankly, it seemed like a very weak proposal, too relaxed that never really explodes even with its best songs. It seemed like an introspective work to me and therefore not at all compelling.
Charli xcx
3/5
The cover is not a burst of creativity but it is heard quickly due to its fluidity, it is appreciated that it is an album that has "joy" and rhythm.
It is definitely youthful music to dance to at parties and clubs, but it is also enjoyable even if you are not a young person.
I immediately recognized the Royal Rumble theme, so I appreciate you bringing it to me.
Operation Ivy

I found it more strident than harmonious in its manufacture, screams, accelerated musicians. I know that is the intention of the genre but I don't even feel it is well done... mmm I don't know, it's not for me, and it's not music that puts me in a good mood or even energizes me apart from being or seeming very long in duration.

2/5
Their best hits seemed irrelevant to me, the punk style is a bit close to ska, especially because of the fast pace. I think they are good musicians but the vocalist and the songs seem to me to be not up to par.

Björk
2/5
You either appreciate BJORK or you don't, you either understand her or you don't understand her, and I'm not the first. I've listened to a lot of her music trying to find the taste for it without success. Her music is a lethargy for me, I think it's meant to be listened to in the background as relaxing music, however, her phrasing is repetitive and ends up tiring me.
The good thing? The frequency of some songs.

TOOL
2/5
It's a strange album because of the relaxing pauses it makes between tracks, as well as other "experimental" tracks that really detract from the album and seem like "filler". The relevant tracks or hits don't give you more or less than you expect and those are a pleasure to listen to with good instruments and good metal.

The Stooges
1/5
It seems like an improvisational game or a jam session after some good psychotropics.
I didn't like it.
Margot & The Nuclear So And So's
1/5
I don't know how to describe my experience with this album, except that it has a good vocalist, although his songs didn't inspire any emotion in me, not even the most popular ones. His style is very "narrative" and more acoustic, but I don't think it ever ends up aspiring to something more, which makes it just another indie album.

Karnivool
2/5
I don't really like this type of vocal performances, but the musicians are great. I don't feel like the songs get any better throughout the album and they stay very average.
Bob Mould
1/5
It wasn't an album that made me very happy, I found it deficient. I expected more for the genre, there wasn't a track that caught my attention.
Titus Andronicus
2/5
I didn't like it very much. Indie films are indie for a reason; they're very niche, and generally for their location.

Joe Jackson
3/5
Its main tracks are fortunate enough to be quite dynamic, and there are even a few that stand out. It's pure 70s rhythm that remains musically very competent today.
Godspeed You! Black Emperor
3/5
It's a good score, but I couldn't rate it on par with albums with lyrics and vocals.
It has good aural harmony and could even be used to set the mood for a film or even an anime.
HELLYEAH
2/5
It's somewhere between the metal I like and the metal I don't like, so I didn't love it, but I didn't hate it either. I didn't find it to be a great example, but I think it does a good enough job.

Nightwish
2/5
I was really excited about the music, but as soon as I started listening to the vocalists, I really fell apart. I don't think they're suited to their musicianship, but perhaps they are suited to the style they're going for.
Personally, I didn't like the vocal ensemble, but I did like the music.
Modest Mouse
2/5
The drummer is a great guy, however, I didn't find the overall proposal on the album very interesting. Now, as the "Español" says: "Ni fu ni fa" 😆

The Angelic Process
1/5
I felt it was closer to noise than music. Terrible acoustic filth. A sort of dull, hypnotic melody that leads nowhere.
Yeasayer
1/5
I found it very ethnic, hippie, experimental, retro... frankly, it didn't make me feel much, in fact I even forgot I was listening to most of its duration.
Polvo
1/5
The first word I can think of is: Disordered. I don't feel like the music is going anywhere. It has no harmony, and for that reason, I didn't find a sense of belonging with the songs that would ultimately make me enjoy them.
Jimmy Eat World
2/5
It suddenly has good musical intentions, good rhythms, but I feel like it never quite gets going once I've finished a song. I can't say it's great, but I can't say it's bad either; maybe it's just the musical approach or intention.
Track 13 is the one that best defines the album.
Slowdive
2/5
Neither that interesting nor that bad, just another indie album that "neither takes off nor lands."
Avenged Sevenfold
2/5
I was expecting better music, I had heard Avenged songs before that were really good so I had high expectations for this album but it fell short.
Courtney Barnett
2/5
I'm not saying it's bad, but frankly, it bored me. Indie doesn't always mean it'll be great.
Great Big Sea
3/5
I suppose it's a good fit within the folk genre; their voices have harmony and intonation. Their rhythm is calm and measured.
It's enjoyable, but imperceptible after a while.
It reminded me of those American town dances.
Jack Johnson
2/5
It happened to me at night, I was listening to it and I didn't even feel like I was listening, the truth is it's boring, however I don't consider it terrible, it's just not for me.
Backstreet Boys
2/5
It's not the Backstreet Boys' best album by far, but it's probably the last one that reached their peak, as from then on, they didn't perform very well. The album has pop, melody, and ballads, but it's not particularly outstanding because they were already aiming for more mature songs that weren't necessarily up to par.
The Caretaker
3/5
Totally unexpected! A modern album with retro melodies and that vinyl-on-a-turntable feel! A great concept, bringing retro vibes with modern artifices, and also relaxing and easy to get through.
The sad thing is that it's just music without lyrics, so I can't give it a higher rating.
Carly Rae Jepsen
2/5
I'd only heard Carly's singles and they were okay, so this is the first time I've listened to a whole album. I can't say I loved it, but I can't say it's bad either; she just has a good voice with a modern, decent pop feel. I think she needs more songs like her best singles and not so many per album, because the more similar songs are, the more repetitive they tend to be. She has potential, and I hope she continues to evolve.
Martha
1/5
The truth is, nothing transcendental or relevant seemed to me; their most listened to songs seemed generic and lacking emotion or hype. Another indie that is indie for a reason.
Fontaines D.C.
2/5
I didn't find it outstanding, I think only one track (STARBUSTER) has character and stature, the other tracks seemed average to me, or very average.
Bon Iver
1/5
I forgot I was listening to something until I remembered...bored to death.
Mylène Farmer
3/5
Beautiful voice, good musical production, a different pop style and although not all the songs are excellent, it maintains a good balance.
