Parklife by Blur

- i see Blur i press like - I like how at some places it's raw like those dogs on the cover (Parklife, Jubilee, Girls and Boys..), just barking at me and then its mellow and I'm bathing in Damons voice (This is a low, End of a century, To the end). - very fun. i can easily put this and listen to the whole thing and stop doing whatever I was doing

Winter In America by Gil Scott-Heron
Apr 16 2022

- this swung fast by me, hello and goodbye

Apr 24 2022

- no thank you, glam rock only when its David Bowie....

Apr 25 2022

- i like when artists kill me with the first song - you hear lots of thom yorke and matt bellamy in his voice

The Man Machine by Kraftwerk
Apr 26 2022

- surprisingly emotional - not surprisingly catchy songs - i am probably voting for them more as an band (as influencers), not just for this one album, whch is btw very pleasant electro for me

Dummy by Portishead
Apr 27 2022

- this truly deserves to be in 1001 albums - it gently creeps, it's very inconspicuous - cant stop thinking about Wandering stars....would love to see deconstructed

Apr 30 2022

- as a person that doesn't really care about rap i always liked this one for some reason. it was the shocking lyrics, the violence, sex, humor. I just couldn't turn this off (it was on cassette and i was 10 and english was my second language...) - yes he sounds like an asshole but I didnt care back then - Stan is amazing song with amazing sample and storytelling, scary background screams and best plot twist ever - the "I'm Slim Shady, yes i'm the real Shady....." tongue twisting, yes please, and that classical piano sample (sounds like Bach) makes it more comical. - Marshall Matters with the guitar! - I will never forget about the blow job skit - Bitch Please II has sick beat and I always wondered what was the weird organ/piano sound..... - Kim is just scary, skip - Criminal again shows great storytelling - deserves to be in 1001 albums, but some songs make it 4/5

Parklife by Blur
May 01 2022

- i see Blur i press like - I like how at some places it's raw like those dogs on the cover (Parklife, Jubilee, Girls and Boys..), just barking at me and then its mellow and I'm bathing in Damons voice (This is a low, End of a century, To the end). - very fun. i can easily put this and listen to the whole thing and stop doing whatever I was doing

Dog Man Star by Suede
May 02 2022

- this is difficult for me to describe and i've been trying to write something about this album for 10 min (blame it on the mans arse?) - i listened to it twice, second time was much better. it's like I want to like it but can't.

May 03 2022

- so this algorithm gave me Blur, Suede and Oasis... which obviously makes me to compare them. And that is not good news for Suede and Blur - I must say as much as I don't like Oasis as a band (pure judgement of characters) I need to judge them by their craft and talent, which is obviously superb. - Wonderwall, for some people overrated or overplayed, for me one of the unskippable ones, even covers, samples and jazz reeditions and shitty Superstar versions are good

Rust In Peace by Megadeth
May 04 2022

- pop fan here - i listened to this so I can see whats going on - sounds very skillful - sorry, cant stop laughing about the whole concept, like how the band is called MEGAdeath or how to album cover looks, or the pun RUST in peace - going back now to listen to beatles

Peggy Suicide by Julian Cope
May 06 2022

- it reminds me of awful lot of things - i like weird artsy stuff but for some reason this was not for me - still it was very pleasant listen, but definitely too long

System Of A Down by System Of A Down
May 07 2022

- i feel like being abused for something I dont remember doing - imagine this in german language - im surprised this album is here as i know this band for different type of songs (similar to the song Peephole) - guys at high school were OBSESSED with this - i like radio pop so cant put high score, although i somehow "enjoyed" it

Abraxas by Santana
May 08 2022

- 1970, holy shit - pleasant fusion of jazz, latin, psychedelic rock

British Steel by Judas Priest
Jun 06 2022

This was pleasant and melodic. Like I can play this at a party and not annoy everyone. Jack Black approves

Drunk by Thundercat
Jun 07 2022

Couldnt decide if its sexy or funny or jazzy or experimental or meditative or just random. His singing reminds me of me when im walking around the house just randomly describing things in singing voice.

Now I Got Worry by The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion
Jun 08 2022

uff, difficult listen to me

Jun 09 2022

First I thought its typical 80s album with whiny singer and synths but oh my god, this is very clever instrumentation and its very catchy. Wow.

Synchronicity by The Police
Jun 10 2022

I always think of The Police as pop 'radio hit' band or ska/reggae but I often forget about the middle east fusion with jazz I really enjoy the two last songs - Tea in the Sahara and Murder by numbers. And as I very much like Every breath you take, in the whole album it suddenly doesn't make sense....

Paul's Boutique by Beastie Boys
Dec 14 2022

I noticed I was gradually lowering the voice on my player. But I liked some of the beats and samples.

White Ladder by David Gray
Dec 15 2022

- that weird feeling when he sounds like Ed Sheeran but its actually Ed Sheeran sounding like David Gray? And my mind is not understanding this

Cypress Hill by Cypress Hill
Dec 16 2022

I gave Beastie Boys 2. This is better than Beastie Boys. Still repetitive for me

Let's Stay Together by Al Green
Dec 17 2022

Many of the reviews seems to be nondescriptive: great, classic, amazing straight 10/10 I enjoyed it, his voice is very smooth, his song has been covered millions of times, I may forget about this album soon though

KIWANUKA by Michael Kiwanuka
Dec 18 2022

Love in first song. Need to wait to finish whole album, but already feel like 4 or 5. Never heard of this and I am pleasantly surprised and I love bathing in these retro guitars and instrumentation and his voice... Will skip my list for few days just to repeat this....and gonna call my alternative radio station to ask them what the hell guys, why dont you play some of this??

Jan 31 2023

According to wikipedia it has 42 minutes and 1 second and I cant live with this (this review was just as random as the album is)

Siembra by Willie Colón & Rubén Blades
Feb 01 2023

This was very enjoyable, great background music, very atmospheric. Maybe I should not be surprised I recognized one Major Lazer sample from Maria Lionza.

Heartattack And Vine by Tom Waits
Feb 02 2023

I feel like this is similar situation as with Nick Cave - you need to like poetry, different musical textures and need to be connected to him personally.

Metallica by Metallica
Feb 03 2023

It has those three iconic tracks, that introduced lots of people to heavy metal genre (although two are slower). Can't really compare with other of their albums or other albums from that genre, there are better fans and experts for that, but I can see why this has timeless appeal.

Paul Simon by Paul Simon
Feb 04 2023

Missed me 100 percent.

Lam Toro by Baaba Maal
Mar 17 2024

- interesting instruments, very surprising for me - nice way to preserve traditional music for wider audience - catchy and accessible. if you have never listened to african music you will vibe to this

Dookie by Green Day
Mar 18 2024

how is this nostalgic if I did not even listen to this in my youth, is a question.maybe its the lyrics and the feeling of being a teenager and angry at world. it is enjoyable as its pop punk.

Mothership Connection by Parliament
Mar 19 2024

Nice listen, quick album, will probably never listen to again

Blunderbuss by Jack White
Mar 20 2024

sounds to me like typical 2010s sounds of college rock...mixed with blues i really like the piano parts. feel like i will go back to this album, it grows on me

Mar 21 2024

I'm not usually into rap, but this album surprised me. It's catchy, with clever and honest lyrics. I enjoyed the beats and samples, fits to that era.

Grace by Jeff Buckley
Mar 22 2024

thanks to him we have Chris Martin, Matt Bellamy and Thom Yorke

...And Justice For All by Metallica
Jun 14 2024

My 17 years old male friends 15 years ago were so obsessed with this, quoting it, doing random solos on random objects, headbangs, taking it very seriously as the highest form of art. For me it was just silly.

My Generation by The Who
Jun 15 2024

My Generation is such an excellent song. “I hope I die before I get old.”

I'm glad this is here because of the comments and because it made me think, like genuinely question myself and what is right and wrong and nice and not enjoyable. Who knows.

Jun 18 2024

If you don't take this album seriously, like the lyrics about aliens in space and Bellamys over the top voice, it's amazing stadium music, great singalongs. And the drums!
