5/5
Catapulted right back to my past! This album is just so amazing! It's memory will carry on ;-)
Cardiacs · 7 likes
5/5
An album where I often was thinking: "Wtf is this?! I love it"
Not the most easily digestible music, but always surprising
Daft Punk · 6 likes
5/5
Awesome livealbum! One you wished you were there
Chappell Roan · 6 likes
4/5
I heard the name of this very recent pop- artist several times, but did not really listen to her music.
I was pleasantly surprised, and I get why she 's so popular right now
Status Quo · 6 likes
4/5
Some lesser known songs from Status Quo. The first song had me thinking it would sound all alike. But to my surprise, this album was more diverse than expected

Steven Wilson
4/5
interesting progrock album. Lyricaly, I had a harder time to empathize with the story of the album. But the music is very good.
King Tubby
3/5
Very relaxing music to listen while working. But not exactly some album I would play in my spare time
Maldita Vecindad Y Los Hijos Del 5to. Patio
4/5
I don't speak a word Spanish. But I really liked the energy and the 'ska'-ness of this album
Madvillain
2/5
Hated some songs, like 'Rainbows'. Could tolerate some others. This is not an album for me
Daniel Bélanger
4/5
Maybe not the best singer, but the songs are nice and there are some beautiful arangements
Pedro The Lion
5/5
That Seattle grunge sound is never far away. The rawness and darkness of this album is very intriguing. 'Magazine' and 'Second Best' are amazing, strong songs. Nice discovery!
Susanne Sundfør
5/5
You get teleported to some magical, norse fairytale with angelic singing. Lovely album to dream away
Weezer
5/5
It's a shame this album is not included in the books. The energy this album contains is insane. And it includes some timeless songs.
Couldn't resist to sing along most of the songs
The Weeknd
2/5
I remember seeing advertisements for this album on television. Therefore, I find this way too 'in the face'.
Also, the excess of way to obvious autotune bothers me a bit too much.
I bobbed my head on 'Blinding Lights', but that's almost it.
Godspeed You! Black Emperor
4/5
Although I like some post-rock - and in that cause longer songs - from time to time, these songs seem to be much more split up in distinct parts. It might be a creatieve choice, but in my opinion they would stand better as individual songs.
On the other hand: The music is very good. Some good build-ups, lovely use of the violin. Very beautiful atmosphere
Nuyorican Soul
3/5
Some latin, some jazz, and even some disco. It's a fun album, but not really worth a re-listen for me
Haley Heynderickx
5/5
The first few songs were lovely, timid songs. It felt like everything fits good together.
The second part of the album is more uptempo. And in another way, everything fits too!
Precious little surprise
Chromatics
1/5
I found this album quite dull and boring. And then 'Tick of the Clock' came on. Multiple times I thought: "What is this song?", "Why is this even a song?", "Why is this 15 minutes long?!?"...
This 1 song completely broke the album for me, and is the main reason of giving this the lowest rate
INXS
4/5
Another classic album for which it is a shame it's not included in the books. With 4 successfull hitsongs it would deserve its place.
They sure love the reverb in the vocals. And the guitar riffs are very funky.
Garbage
4/5
Didn't feel a connection with this album, but there are some good songs
Status Quo
4/5
Some lesser known songs from Status Quo. The first song had me thinking it would sound all alike. But to my surprise, this album was more diverse than expected
First Aid Kit
5/5
Lovely folk music.
Arctic Monkeys
2/5
I remember listening this album when it came out. I don't really like this 'crooner'-version of Arctic Monkeys. And now, at the re-listen, it didn't change that much.
Louis Armstrong
3/5
2/5
This album was a 50/50 for me. The 'heavier' songs I did not like. But the more dreamy ones were okay. But I had a little struggle to get to the end of this album
Procol Harum
3/5
Not particulary special
Jellyfish
5/5
Loved this album. Very poppy sound, without deviating too much from the traditional rock-vibes. Some folk and big-band parts are to be found also. I'll keep this one in my favorites!
THE SPORTS
4/5
Pretty genereic, but enjoyable
TOOL
5/5
Amazing album! Atypical rythms, loud but hypnotizing
Childish Gambino
2/5
I had the urge to stop this album during the first 2 songs. But as always, I push through the end. Luckily there was the occasional song which I liked. But not a high ranking album for me
Frank Zappa
3/5
Half an hour of weirdness. But it kinda okay
Kaizers Orchestra
4/5
I don't understand Norwegian. But I liked the mood and sound of the music very much.
blink-182
5/5
Unbelievable this album is not included in the books! Such iconic songs that meant so much for the punk-pop scene.
Type O Negative
2/5
Not my cup of tea...
Alex Cameron
3/5
Mixed feelings about this one. Music was alright, but I lost attention from time to time
Ian McDonald
3/5
Very oldschool progrock. It seems more accessible than some of the newer stuff.
Amadou & Mariam
4/5
Many summer vibes. And the influence of Manu Chao is clearly present. I enjoyed listening to this one
The Postal Service
3/5
Very gloomy music, and the sound of Death Cab is never far away. Although I found this album a little more longwinding. Not exactly boring, but it could be better
Chucklehead
3/5
Funky, but not memorable
Elmer Gantry's Velvet Opera
3/5
Tame Impala
4/5
Really cool album. Although it's a lot of the same sometimes

4/5
Surprise is never top far away on this album. I constantly wonderen: "What's the next song going to sound like?".
Very varied and fun album
Sparks
3/5
Not bad
King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard
5/5
Loved this album
Phish
4/5
Incredibly long album. But it's with good, funky and sometimes jazzy music.
Angelo De Augustine
4/5
Very minimalistic. Sad, yet dreamy. Not something I'd prefer to play spontaniously. But could appreciate this
Dave Matthews Band
4/5
Bad Religion
4/5
The Lumineers
5/5
Really love the indie folk sound. There was a smile on my face when I saw this album was submitted
Switchfoot
5/5
A fine line between rock, grunge and pop. I loved the diversity in this album
blink-182
5/5
The drivers in traffic were witness of how much I enjoyed this album. So many sing-along moments.
The Decemberists
5/5
It's like a rock opera fairytale. Usually I listen these albums during my car commute. And so I did with this. But it gave me the urge to listen it again, with the lyrics in front of me to really get the full story.
Sublime
3/5
I liked the ska songs, but the more 'punky' ones were lacking something
Bran Van 3000
3/5
The first song striked some sparks of recognition. The rest of the album was a little bit of hit and miss. At some points I lost my attention
Garmarna
5/5
Fantastic! Dark, but entrancing. I just loved this music!
5/5
Beautiful album! The melodies en lyrics fit together incredibly.
Rachel Stevens
4/5
Never thought I would like a pop album this much! It's totally not cliché in any means. Some good beats, easy lyrics to sing along.
Extrechinato y Tu
3/5
This album didn't stick. although there were some okay-ish songs
The Posies
3/5
Not bad, but it had nothing much extraordinary
Tally Hall
4/5
Whacky and silly from time to time. But very fun album
Bon Iver
4/5
The sampling and the integrity of Bon Iver kind of don't match for me... I don't think it's their best album. But it's enjoyable
Amon Düül II
3/5
Very psychedelic
Porter Robinson
3/5
Not really my liking, but it wasn't bad
The Avett Brothers
2/5
It hot boring after a while
Cluster
3/5
Typical Krautrock. Not bad, but not really my first choice of music
Protomartyr
4/5
Intresting style. Quite enjoyed this album
Stromae
5/5
Formidable!! How Stromae puts dark and depressive lyrics on a heavy house beat is incredible. And the variation of ballads and more dancable songs is stunning.
That Handsome Devil
3/5
Very... Interesting. Sometimes I got the feeling the vocals didn't match the music. But it ain't a bad album
Jóhann Jóhannsson
5/5
Don't know what it is with me and Icelandic music. But Björk, Sigur Rós, Dadi Freyr, Of Monster and Men,... All of them seem to fall in my favor. And this one is no exception! It sounds magical, atmospheric, intimid and grotesque all at once! Loved it!
Fontaines D.C.
4/5
Nice and unique style. Good album
Ty Segall
4/5
Loud and distorted! I like it! It's garage rock, but has some industrial vibes to it without exaggerating too much
The Hold Steady
4/5
Very 'American sounding' and incredibly lyrical. Some Springsteen vibes at times. Good album
Mustafa
4/5
Gotcha!
4/5
Very funky indeed. A nice Dutch discovery. Had never heard from this band
Men I Trust
4/5
Bruce Springsteen
4/5
Not particularly a fan of The Boss. But this was a good livealbum
My Chemical Romance
5/5
Catapulted right back to my past! This album is just so amazing! It's memory will carry on ;-)
Earth, Wind & Fire
3/5
A very funky disco-album. A bit too much of the same after a while, but still fun
Jimmy Buffett
2/5
Not my cup of tea
Sampha
2/5
At the first song, I thought I would want to turn off the music very quick. But the second song I liked more. After that the album went a bit boring and much of the same
John Mayer
3/5
Good as background music
Thee Oh Sees
5/5
Very heavy indeed! The energy just splashes in your face, even though you're not in the live audience! Amazing wall of sound too. Good choice!
Richard Dawson
1/5
To me, this one sounded like a bad busker on a London street. Singing was awful, guitar sounded too out of tune to me... Very chaotic. Although I liked the songwriting, I had a hard time listening to this album
Alexisonfire
4/5
I like some hardcore where the screaming isn't too dominant. But the music here was lacking some power
Koritni
4/5
Liked this modern take on hard rock
Josh Ritter
3/5
A little bit boring at times
Marillion
3/5
To me it sounds like any other prog-rock album
Boy Azooga
5/5
Fun discovery. Indie as it should be
They Might Be Giants
3/5
Don't really know how to describe my thoughts on this album. Sometimes it was good. But some songs were a bit dull
The Beautiful South
3/5
It needed to grow on me, but in the end it still didn't. I found it more to be some background music
Wussy
4/5
I heard some inspiration of REM, Fleetwood Mac and Bruce Springsteen. But in totallity only 75% as good.
Korn
4/5
Some lesser known songs of Korn. Can't say I'm a fan, but it ain't bad
Courteeners
4/5
Quite enjoyed it
Roger Waters
4/5
Very interesting concept. It's definitely one while story, a unity of songs.
Scraping Foetus off the Wheel
2/5
An alternative take on the industrial genre. Does it make it more listenable? Yes. Does it make me enjoy it more though? Not really
Bloc Party
4/5
Good mix of rock and electronics.
100 gecs
3/5
This is... Something. Fast paced, a lot of autotune, some good songs, some I liked less

4/5
Very poetic and calming music
Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band
3/5
Not very remarkable
Childish Gambino
3/5

4/5
Savages
5/5
I really enjoyed this music
Death Cab for Cutie
5/5
What a throwback! I had a period where I listened to Death Cab a lot, but had forgotten them. Now listening to this album, I realise what I loved about them again!
His voice is so recognizeable, and the lyrics are sombre, but kinda hopefull.
The Burning Hell
4/5
Sometimes, it is what it is. And it is an album full of storytelling en Fun lyrics. Musically it ain't that great though. But I enjoyed it
Marillion
3/5
Wasn't really what I would listen to
Kano
3/5
Not great. Some beats were good. Rapping I found mostly under average. The War Pigs sample was a fun surprise

3/5
Fun music, but at times the mixing felt a little off. Mostly the drums sounded very unnarural

3/5
Did enjoy it, for a while but got old fast
LaBelle
3/5
Funky and poppy. Not bad
Mull Historical Society
4/5
Not really special. But wasn't bad too

4/5

3/5
I'm always a bit sceptical on hiphop albums. But this one wasn't all too bad
Igorrr
4/5
This is something very special... Not quite sure what to think of it. Am I urged to listening to it again? Actually, yes.
Gang of Youths
5/5
I got a lot of 'The National' vibes, but less sad. Never heard of this band, but glad you made me discover them.

I don't know very much about dub. But this album was all right for me
Vampire Weekend
5/5
Love this band. Instant 5 stars.
It's such happy, summermusic
Snarky Puppy
5/5
I discovered this band at a festival, not knowing what to expect. But their performance blew me away. Now it was been a while since i've listened to them. So this was a very pleasant surprise!
Thank you to the one suggesting this album!
Hikaru Utada
2/5
Was quickly bored with this music. It's a lot of the dame to me
Graham Parker
4/5
Is this where Alex Turner and Miles Kane got their inspiration? I liked this album. Sounds very timeless
The Alan Parsons Project
3/5
Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass
4/5
Very fun album. Plain and simple brass-music, made to make you dance
Debbie Gibson
2/5
Way too poppy for me. It ain't bad, but would not want to put this on voluntarily
Oingo Boingo
4/5
Not bad. But not too outstandingly good too
Valerie June
4/5
Amazing voice. Very calming music. Loved it
Robyn Hitchcock
1/5
The music is simple. The singing wasn't really good, even bad at some times. I wonder how I succeeded in listening to all songs, because after 2 songs I had enough
The Tragically Hip
3/5
The War On Drugs
5/5
Incredibly good roadtrip music.
MF DOOM
1/5
Not my cup of tea
Chet Baker
4/5
Very relaxing jazz music

3/5
Liked it. No more, no less
Nik Kershaw
3/5
Typical 80s sound. And this album has 2 songs I knew, but would never been able to name the artist
Freestylers
2/5
The whole is a bit monotonous. It was okay to be played as background music
Ani DiFranco
2/5
Got some Alanis Morissette vibes, but less good.
4/5
Good album
The Mountain Goats
3/5
Lo-fi does not seem to be something I like
Damien Rice
4/5
Soothing music
Gurrumul
4/5
The combination of classical music and the indigenous singing fits suprisingly well
Joan As Police Woman
3/5
Nothing too special.
GAS
2/5
I don't think I understand this genre.
It's so monotone.
Maybe it's good to meditate or something
2*
Arthur Russell
3/5
Very artsy, but kind of enjoyed (?) it.
The Amazing Devil
5/5
'The Amazing Devil' actually amazed me. It's folk, but with a high percentage of rock (and even slight traces of hard rock).
Lyrically, this album is very poetic (I mean, have you read the lyrics of Inkpot Gods for example).
This album went fast from "unknown to me" to "man, I love this"
Sunny Day Real Estate
3/5
Okay-ish. I enjoyed listening, but it didn't really amaze me
3/5
Enjoyable
Mogwai
5/5
Fantastic album. It has some regular heavy post rock, some call intermezzo's and some more experimental songs.
Amazing debut
Jai Paul
2/5
I find it strange that an unfinished album is so high acclaimed. I did not really enjoy listening
Killswitch Engage
3/5
Metalcore is just a bit too heavy for me. Though, this succeeded to met me listen it while, without the urge to turn it off
Khruangbin
5/5
Triple thank you for submitting this album. Such soothing and calming music is very welcome. Loved every second of it
Mary Chapin Carpenter
3/5
Not bad. Typical country music
Stars
3/5
Not bad. But nothing too special
Streetlight Manifesto
4/5
Some very good songs. Some average. But the whole is quite a Nice album
The Hold Steady
3/5
Mediocre
Jimmy Eat World
5/5
Saw them Live once. The only song I knew back then was 'The Middle'. The performance was great, but I never came to listening a full album. So thank you for the recommendation.
Very good album
Crash Test Dummies
3/5
This album had me 'mmm' a bit. But more like 'mmm, all these songs sound very alike'
Touché Amoré
4/5
I liked this. Did not know what post-hardcore was meant to sound like. But this was a pleasant surprise
2/5
The whole album, I thought something was missing. But at the end, on "In Metal", I heard what I was waiting for all along. Some build-up and a bit of 'schwung' as we like to say here.
Shania Twain
3/5
Cute album with more hits than I thought
Pink Floyd
4/5
Good ol' Pink Floyd. Nothing too special
Anaïs Mitchell
3/5
Chappell Roan
4/5
I heard the name of this very recent pop- artist several times, but did not really listen to her music.
I was pleasantly surprised, and I get why she 's so popular right now
Cardiacs
5/5
An album where I often was thinking: "Wtf is this?! I love it"
Not the most easily digestible music, but always surprising
Faith No More
4/5
Good album. Some consider it to Bé metal, but mostly it's heavy rock
The Dear Hunter
5/5
Wonderful! Enjoyed every second of it
Calibro 35
4/5
This is some good solo-roadtrip music
Biffy Clyro
4/5
Don't know why, bit I was expecting something heavier
Harmonium
2/5
Made me a bit bored near the end
Shudder To Think
3/5
The National
4/5
I love the voice of the singer. Although most song sound very alike, I enjoyed this album
Tori Amos
3/5
Okay-ish.
Transvision Vamp
2/5
The eighties vibe is very strong in this one. Did not enjoy it that much though...
Screaming Females
4/5
Never knew this band. Nice indie-punk band. Good album
The Chats
4/5
Punk is not dead. These fuckers did definitely prove that.
Short and heavy, as it should be
Avicii
5/5
God knows what amazing music Avicii would've still made. Died way too young.
Amazing album
Vulfpeck
4/5
The crowd is very wild in this live album. Amazing atmosphere.
Kayo Dot
5/5
This was more complex than I would have thought. Very interesting to listen to. The metal parts are quite heavy too. Cool album
The Sound
3/5
The line between post-punk and new wave always is thin.
This was an enjoyable album
John Martyn
3/5
Calm and peaceful music. Nothing too special
Jeff Rosenstock
4/5
This was louder than I expected. Cool album
Pigeons Playing Ping Pong
4/5
These guys are fantastic musicians. Very enjoyable to listen to
Death
3/5
Vocals could be better, but okay-ish album after all
Roky Erickson
4/5
A little weird, but I likes it
Joe Cocker
4/5
Cool live album
The Cure
5/5
I knew The Cure had a new album, but I never found time to give it a go.
It's very dark, as it should be
Charli xcx
2/5
Too much unnecessary usage of autotune.
This one got boring real fast
Teenage Fanclub

Very varied. I liked it
Operation Ivy
4/5
Cool punk/ska music. Had fun listening to this one
Björk
2/5
Not her best work. A little too monotone
Margot & The Nuclear So And So's
4/5
Sounded good
4*
TOOL
5/5
Can't do wrong with Tool for me.
The rhytms, the heavyness and the atmosphere. It just speaks to me
Les sheriff
4/5
French is already a fast language. But this punk-rythm makes it even faster.
But I really liked it
Karnivool
5/5
Very nice surprise. A band totally unknown to me, but it felt like nostalgia. 16 year old me would have bought the album immediately
Nightwish
4/5
Symphonic metal can be very entertaining. So is this album. The variations in tempo and calm/heavy parts are plenty
Joe Jackson
3/5
I recognised the one song. But otherwise never heard of this man
Music was okay
HELLYEAH
3/5
A bit top much over the top for me.
The Stooges
3/5

Bob Mould
3/5
Nothing too special
Titus Andronicus
3/5
Interesting idea for a concept album.
Music was good
Godspeed You! Black Emperor
5/5
Greatly melodic. Loved every single second of it. Ideal to dream away on
The Angelic Process
3/5
You can hear the tornment on each and every note. Quite a sad life-story of these artists.
Musicaly wasn't really my kind of thing. But it was listenable
Yeasayer
4/5
Likes the vatiety of instruments.
Modest Mouse
3/5
Polvo
4/5
Unknown to me, but it was allright
Slowdive
3/5
Very dreamy and dark. Probably good in it's kind. But I tot somehow bored listening it in one go.
Courtney Barnett
4/5
The strength of Courtney is her lyrics. Evert song makes a little story.
Jimmy Eat World
4/5
Some lesser known songs. A bit more emo than poprock. Good album non the less
Avenged Sevenfold
2/5
Amyl and The Sniffers
5/5
Cool punk album. It's these hidden gems that I keep following this list for
Jack Johnson
5/5
Wholesome music. Very relaxing
CAKE
4/5
This is a classic, and it's strange it is not on the original list.
Carly Rae Jepsen
2/5
The thing I don't like about modern pop is that mostly it sounds too over produced. The same is for this album
The Caretaker
4/5
Very interesting concept of this 'odd-one-out' album.
It was very calming, but also oddly terrifying in some way
Tip: listen it on stereo
Mylène Farmer
4/5
Magnéfique.
Good early 90s vibes
Great Big Sea
5/5
Lovely folk album. It really is sea-themed at some parts, which the bandname suggests.
The Tragically Hip
4/5
Classic rock album, but didn't hook me too much.
Wishbone Ash
4/5
Enjoyed this very much. Didn't not ever hear of this band, so was a big surprise
Chris de Burgh
4/5
This has got many musical-vibes, with a little bit more rock-n-roll style of music.
Really something to sit down and listen to the stories
Daft Punk
5/5
This album is hit machine. Love every note of it
Fontaines D.C.
5/5
Knew the band a little bit, but never rook time to listen to many songs.
This album is an absolute banger!
Chloe x Halle
2/5
Not an album I would listen to without being forced to it
Ornette Coleman
3/5
This is jazz allright. Not all that bad
TOOL
5/5
Love this!
The atypical rhytms, spiritual sounds, heavyness and calmness in one.
Tool takes you on a trip
Backstreet Boys
4/5
There are no guilty pleasures, just pleasures.
And this one belongs in that category.
Bon Iver
5/5
This album is just magical. The high pitch vocals take you to another world.
Boards of Canada
3/5
Atmospheric and calm. Good as background sounds, but not something I would sit down and listen to
Martha
5/5
Kind of a obscure British band. So did not know what to expect.
The chance in vocalists is a fun variation.
It's rock, but a lot of indie too. Enjoyed it very much, and let's hope they break through to mainland Europe too.
The 1975
3/5
Was getting a little bit bored along this album.
Daft Punk
5/5
Awesome livealbum! One you wished you were there
Arca
3/5
Special.
Cool hiphop vibes, but much more electronic.
Something I would never listen to myself, but it was enjoyable
The Vaccines
5/5
Amazing surf-rock! I Remember the singles doing very good in the charts.
The energy fits just right
This band was completely unknown to me. And too bad they are splitting up, because I LOVED this music!
Very atmospheric and dreamy, but some heavier parts too. The vocals are amazing. And the complete sound of it just touched me in a way I can't really describe
Songs: Ohia
4/5
Mostly dark and sad songs. Music and lyrics fit well together
Alexisonfire
2/5
Mostly with (post-)hardcore, I like the music, and not the screaming vocals. This one is no exception.
But the music isn't that great on this one too.
So not a high score for Alexisonfire
Talking Heads
4/5
Cool live album
Sports Team
4/5
Very energetic. Vocals could be a bit better. But overall, good album
System Of A Down
5/5
Hell yeah!
Political criticism, combined with absolute nonsense, on the notes of the most energetic metal music you've ever heard!
Every song is just a (head)banger
Times New Viking
2/5
At the first song, I thought: interesting sound.
But as the album progressed, I grew tired of it very fast
David Baerwald
3/5
Not bad. Doesn't have much too special
Olivia Rodrigo
3/5
I'm not really the target audience.
But this album was alright to listen to
Screeching Weasel
4/5
Cool short album
Sufjan Stevens
3/5
Very camping and relaxing music, but after a while it's pretty much all of the same
Crystal Castles
2/5
Very 90's game-music. It was fine as background music, but not more than that 2m
Unwound
4/5
The opening track made me fear I wouldn't like it very much. But from the next song on, it was much better
Emicida
3/5
Die not have a clue what the songs were about. But the vibe was good
Portishead
4/5
Very soothing triphop
Manchester Orchestra
5/5
I did not know this band. And now I think i'm in live with them!
I love the grandeur of the sound, the harmonics in the vocals, the quieter sounds that explode into magnificence
No doubt a 5 stars from me
Noname
4/5
Totally clueless of who this was, I was surprised how I liked this kind of slow hiphop.
Guy Clark
3/5
Typical old school country music. Good singing voice, easy listening music
Talk Talk
3/5
Very experimental. Was fine to listen to, but not to special
Refused
4/5
Good new take on punk music
R.E.M.
3/5
All time classic. But just a bit too much of the same all the time
Spose
3/5
The 2 parts are really different. I likes the first part, but was a bit disappointed hearing the second, expecting more of the same
Bon Iver
5/5
Typical Bon Iver sound. I love it
The Breeders
4/5
Cool rock music
TOOL
4/5
I do like TOOL. But this album is trying too hard to be atypical. Build-ups that go nowhere, and songs that are just a bit too long
3/5
Okay-ish. But would not be a go-to to listen again
Lo Fidelity Allstars
3/5
Good as background music at work. Not something I would actively listen to
Enter Shikari

Love this!
The energy is amazing, and the variations between screaming and singing are just right.

4/5
Nice old school blues and rock 'n roll
Al Stewart

Was okay. Nothing too exciting

3/5
Nice easy-listening post-punky album
Ex-Easter Island Head
4/5
Accessible experimental music. Relaxing to listen to
The Chameleons
3/5
Jason Isbell
4/5
Minimalism at its best. Just 1 man and his guitar
Some songs I could really relate to
Beyoncé
5/5
I het why this is one of the most popular pop/R&B artists in the world. Her singing is phenomenal. Also a lot of variety in the songs.
Yo La Tengo
3/5
Very melancholic
Tosca
3/5
At first, I thought this album would be rather dull. But a few tracks in, I started noticing and appreciating the subtle nuances. Still, it’s not something I’d put on again anytime soon.
John Coltrane
4/5
Beautiful jazz ballads, full of broken hearts
Lady Gaga
3/5
Not the biggest fan. Won't follow her until I love her

3/5
It was ok for a hiphop album
Vangelis
4/5
Cool soundtrack

4/5
Unique sound, with the violin. Was a nice little surprise

4/5
Cool rock band that reminders me a bit of a mix of Mumford and Sons, Beats Den and Death Cab
Medeski, Martin & Wood
3/5
Neil Cicierega
4/5
Had a good laugh with this album. Some mashups are surprisingly good (Bills Like Jean Spirit, Daft Mouth).
Others are hilarious (Imma Let It Be, The Sharpest Tool).
All by all, very entertaining
Magdalena Bay
3/5
Duncan Dhu
3/5
I don't speak Spanish at all, so the lyrics were a bit lost to me. But overall, I enjoyed the music
Electric Callboy
5/5
These guys make you dance to metal music! Great album
Deltron 3030
3/5
Rita Ora
3/5
Easy listening pop-album.
Jon Batiste
3/5
Fine soulful album
Cat System Corp.
2/5
Very weird album, with the ads and weather reports. Did not enjoy it that much
The Groundhogs
3/5
Nice bluesrock album, but nothing too special
ISIS
4/5
I like post-metal from time to time. And so do I with this album.
Yellowcard
5/5
Throwback to my teenage years! The pop-punk with the violin makes for a recognizable sound.
Love it!
The Who
4/5
The who is a band that I would have loved to see play live. This album, I did not know at all. Not their best in my opinion, but ok enough
Too bad it was over so fast. It was kinda fun
Pearl Jam
4/5
Classical pearl jam sound
Kashmir
4/5
Reincidentes
4/5
I don't speak Spanish at all, but the music was cool and energetic

Very pure hiphop album
Ozzy Osbourne
4/5
May he rest in darkness.
Great album
Harry Styles
3/5
Nice, varried pop-album
Agalloch
5/5
Awesome post-metal album. Somehow the massive wall of sound brings callness in my mind
BABYMETAL
3/5
As a concept, this is kinda fun. But as metal music, I find it kind of bland. I get the hype and popularity. But not my taste
Yoko Ono
1/5
A little too unconventional for me. It's just all weirdness and choatic sounds
Had a hard time listening to the end
Bruce Hornsby
4/5
A warm blanket of music. Enjoyed it more than expected
Baroness
5/5
I had a collegue recommending this band once. But did not look them up until now. Very strong album! Love the match of the vocals with the heavy metal music.
Floating Points
3/5
Perfect music as background in a fancy restaurant or something.
Not something I would actively put on again. It sure may be a relaxing moment for some
Fall Out Boy
4/5
Not the best pop/emo/punk album. But very enjoyable
Turnpike Troubadours
3/5
Standard country music. Nothing too special
Amália Rodrigues
3/5
Faso is not typically a genre I know well. Not my kind of thing, so it seems.
It is culturally relevant, so that's a plus
King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard
5/5
If TOOL is too heavy for you. Listen to King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard. Maybe they are even more inventive and a tat more psychedelic. But I see some parallels.
Fantastic album
"Weird Al" Yankovic
4/5
Such a talenten guy. And funky too
Deafheaven
5/5
The album wouldn't have you guessing this is such a heavy album. It goes all over the place with the heaviness and the pace, but it just all fits.
Loved it
of Montreal
3/5
Shihad
5/5
Cool discovery. Bever heard of this band, but liked them very much
Barenaked Ladies
3/5
This was alright
The Tragically Hip
4/5
Some blues rock, some regular rock and some more folkish rock. It was okay
David Allan Coe
3/5
Casual country music
The Church
3/5
Some weird middle ground between Pink Floyd and Sisters of Mercy
Didn't always get my film attention, but it was okay
Dream Theater
4/5
Interesting genre of metal. Like the name, it sound sort of 'theatrical'.
Living Colour
4/5
A lot of variety in the genres.
Michael Hurley
2/5
Folk album with some weird and questionable songs on it.
Did not like it very much
BABYMETAL
4/5
Because of the many collaborations, which stay true to the genre of the guests, this album explores some different types of metal. Cool album!
Stray From The Path
4/5
This is some good metalcore! Understandable vocals, just agressif enough. And the music is great
Various Artists
2/5
Never saw the movie. These 'musical' songs don't really work as standalone songs too me. It feels like they are missing moving images
Nic Jones
4/5
Very folky indeed. Almost like sitting by a bonfire, with some beer and some good company
Ornatos Violeta
4/5
Hamilton Leithauser
3/5
Kenny Wayne Shepherd
4/5
Lovely blues album
Powderfinger
4/5
Enjoyed the album. But no outliers really
Modern Life Is War
4/5
It's hardcore, but a bit more wall of sound in the music-part of it
Jaco Pastorius
3/5
Jazz I would put up on the background
Chuck Berry
4/5
Chuck Berry is a genius artist.
Fun rock and roll album.
5/5
This album has a kind of grandiosity that I like very much!
Some songs are very bombastic. While others are much more danceable.
I thought of M83 to be a one hit wonder (Midnight City still is a banger), but this album proves me wrong
Rodríguez
3/5
Standard singer songwriter
Okayish
Nujabes
3/5
Smooth jazz-hiphop. Like it as background music
Everything Everything
5/5
It's an artform to put such dark lyrics onto happy music like this
Ween
4/5
Just ok for me
The Sensational Alex Harvey Band
4/5
Funny rockband. Sometimes it even feels like a parody-band. But in all, I did like it
Savatage
4/5
Some classical heavy metal (pun intended). The vocalist is amazing, some good riffs now and tegen. Cool album
Ookla The Mok
5/5
This is one silly hell of an album. That doesn't mean I didn't like it though. Filk is a genre I never even heard of, but I think it has a new fan!
Charly García
4/5
There were some nice songs on this album
Black Devil Disco Club
3/5
Not your standard disco album. It sounds a little bit more experimental.
Blackalicious
2/5
I did not feel to much for this album
The Notwist
3/5
I like the music, but the vocals are throwing me off a bit. They sound so uninterested.
Lift To Experience
4/5
This suprised me a bit. Reading the description, I thought it wasn't going to be something for me. But the guitarwork is excellent, and there were a couple of very good songs
Brand New
5/5
Often, when I catch myself mid-song saying: "woah, this is awesome", I know I have to give it a 5 star
The Heads
3/5
This was okay
Tom Petty
4/5
Good album
Metric
4/5
I thought I only knew the opening track. But it seems that I heard more Metric in the past
Cool album
Matthew Good Band
2/5
Soothing voice. Music was a tat boring
Dolly Parton
4/5
She never dissapoints. Altough I find country music to be full of clichés (and this album is no different), I liked this album
Built To Spill
4/5
Cool album. Best song for me was the last one
Malibu
4/5
Very relaxing
Paul McCartney
4/5
These are some well-written songs
Pink Floyd
4/5
This is a very cool live album. Crisp-clear, and mixed right so you hear the audience only when it matters
Bright Eyes
3/5
Ok music, but didn't really stick with me
Foxing
5/5
This album reminded me a bit of Band Of Horses (ironicle, cause of the album cover), which I love very much.
And I must admit, Foxing gets pretty close. So a solid 5 stars are earned
Swans
3/5
This kind of experimental drone rock isn't my kind of thing
Mr. Bungle
3/5
This album had a lot going on. From Jazz, rock, Balkan Folk to metal. Sometimes even in the same song (looking at you, Ars Moriendi).
Maybe just not exactly over the top, so it stays enjoyable.
Descendents
4/5
Short and powerful
Comus
3/5
Made me feel like I was on some pagan ritual with some songs. Very weird at times, but enjoyable none the less
Future Islands
4/5
Pop, yet a bit mysterious. Dreamy, Fun album
STARSET
5/5
Teenage me would've put this album on repeat, I think. Loved it
Alabama 3
4/5
Some mix of country and a kind of funky electronics.
Fun to listen to
Tom Misch
4/5
Very mellow, in a good way. Not typically something I would listen to on own initiative, but I liked it
Chico Science
5/5
Somehow, the combination of rock, funk, hiphop and Brazilian music is very catchy. Never tot bored while listening to this album
Quicksand
4/5
No Doubt
3/5
I knew the 2 hit songs. But the rest of the album is much of the same. Not bad though
Mac Miller
4/5
Spinvis
3/5
Very dreamy music, somewhere between pop, rock and maybe some triphop (ala Massive Attack). Not the best vocalist, a bit too mumbled at times. Lyrics are very introvert.
WHY?
3/5
Indie-rock with some mild hiphop influences. Very nasal vocals.
Billy Strings
3/5
Nothing remarkable on this bluegrass album
Shpongle
4/5
I Found this psychedelic electronic music very relaxing
Charles Aznavour
4/5
Wonderful singer
Warren Zevon
3/5
Sound a little bit outdates
Depeche Mode
3/5
Just Can't get enough?
Well, I do. It's okay-ish, but a lot of the same after a few songs
Glass Animals
4/5
Interesting album, with lots of variation
Soul Coughing
4/5
Some sort of rock/jazz combination. Surely an interesting sound. Maybe worth a re-listen at some time
Paramore
4/5
A trip dow memory lane. Altough, I did remember this to be somewhat heavier. It's maybe just a little bit too soft
Bo Burnham
4/5
When Inside came out on Netflix, it was clearly a masterpiece. However, it is as much a visual experience as it is in the words of the story. The songs are still good and funny. The vocals crisp clear (as it should for a comedy album, you have to be able to follow along well). But I feel that by audio only, I'm missing something.
Daft Punk
4/5
Movie was okay. Soundtrack made it much better. Some tracks sound 100% Daft Punk. But the more 'classical' songs are cool too
Danny Brown
3/5
Beyoncé
4/5
I'm not the target audience. But I get why they love her.
It's energizing, empowering and well produced
Auri
5/5
This sounds magical. Angelic vocals. Fun music
DARKSIDE
3/5
A bit of psychedelic, ambient electronic music. Nothing too interesting in this one.
Weezer
5/5
I love Weezer. The raw Garage-Sound just makes it feel genuine
Porcupine Tree
4/5
Gerry Cinnamon
3/5
Did not feel too much about this album. It was pretty mediocre
Pop Will Eat Itself
3/5
Various Artists
3/5
Fun road trip music
Cindy Lee
3/5
Very dreamy indie-pop. For me, a double album of this is just a bit too much
Crass
4/5
Short, powerful and angry. Like punk should be
Turnstile
5/5
Very energetic. This kind of hardcore I do like a lot
The Brian Jonestown Massacre
3/5
Robyn
5/5
It's pop, but a bit rougher. Enjoyed it a lot
Espers
4/5
Very magical sounding
Q65
4/5
I someone would know about psychedelics, it's the Dutch.
Jokes aside, this album is very enjoyable.
Boredoms
3/5
You don't get bored listening to this album. Every song brings some new kind of weirdness. Sometimes a bit too weird for me
Vampire Weekend
5/5
The way Vampire Weekend van put melancholy and happy tunes together is masterful
Getatchew Mekurya
5/5
What an amazing blend of genres.
5/5
The rhytms are very powerfull. It feels filled with rage and lots of societal critcism.
And everything fits neatly together.
Current 93
3/5
Zamilska
2/5
Not a genre I would listen to myself. Did not enjoy it very much
Mastodon
5/5
The masters of unconventional rhytms and melody changes
The Hold Steady
3/5
Bohren & Der Club Of Gore
4/5
Very relaxing jazz. I like this more than some of those chaotic kinds
August is Falling
3/5
Definitly not the most out standing in it's genre, but was ok
Eric B. & Rakim
2/5
ROSALÍA
5/5
At first I thought: Just another pop-singer. Then I listened to the album. And this was much more than anticipated! Even got goosebumps on some songs. She's an amazing singer. And the classical influences in this album are so well done and mixed in.
Mansun
4/5
Very interesting. Not your standard alternative rock album
65daysofstatic
4/5
Very unique sound. Cool album
Bruce Cockburn
3/5
This was okayish
Ryan Adams
3/5
Ryan is a good songwriter and musician. Good album, but becomes a little too much of the same after a while
Low
3/5
This is something very special. Very crisp clear vocals, with distorted electronic music. A bit niche, but definitively not bad
Queens of the Stone Age
5/5
This album is amazing! The radio interjections are weird, but fit strangely. The heavy songs are all bangers. and the last song starts very calmly but ends in a bombastic conclusion
Denzel Curry
2/5
Porcupine Tree
3/5
Broken Social Scene
4/5
Didn't know this before. Pleasant surprise
The Mountain Goats
3/5
Wilco
4/5
Some bluesy, country-rock. Enjoyable album

Great 80's vibes, and Ferris Bueller's day Off is a great movie. Also thanks to the song on this album
Vince Guaraldi Trio
4/5
Very cosy christmas music.
The Civil Wars
4/5
Cute, soft folk music. Great to listen in front of a fireplace
Wet Leg
3/5
Ok poprock music with powerful, feminine lyrucs
Muse
5/5
There's just no bad song on this album! This was also one of the contenders for my own submission in this list. The 'rawness' of the song is amazing. The guitarwork is heavenly. Awesome basslines. Everything is perfect.
Digable Planets
3/5
Relaxing jazzy hiphopmusic
NOFX
4/5
Short and powerful punk EP. Enjoyed it a lot
Extremoduro
3/5
Average Spanish rock music
Imogen Heap
4/5
Cute indie-pop album. Good singer

Songs: Ohia
3/5
okayish country album
The Weakerthans
4/5
casual Canadian rock music. Was fine, but not overwhelmingly good
Lizzy McAlpine
3/5
dreamy, yet sad music. Good singer. okay album
Less Than Jake
5/5
Lovely pink/ska music. It's not too heavy and very fun to listen to
Gorky's Zygotic Mynci
3/5
Don't exactly know why, but got bored after a while. Not that it's bad, but it just couldn't keep my interest
The Housemartins
4/5
This was some good old Indie rock.
Zero 7
3/5
Not that into triphop. But I kinda likes this one.

4/5
Happy tunes with some fine, dark linings.
Helloween
4/5
This was a good speedmetal album.
Roy Harper
4/5
This was enjoyable. Folky, but a little more alternative
Queen
5/5
This is timeless music. Maybe not the very greatest hits on this album, but it's amazingly good
My Morning Jacket
4/5
Enjoyed the album. Some very good songs. The last song, 'Dondante' was by far my favorite
311
4/5
This was good. But not too impressing
Jawbreaker
3/5
Hasn't got a wow-effect on me. But it was fine to listen to
Massive Attack
4/5
Lovely dark music to dream away to
Mac DeMarco
3/5
Sweet little 'easy-listening' album
Black Country, New Road
4/5
Had some Arcade Fire vibes from some of the songs. Quite good album
Paco de Lucía
5/5
Very cool classic Spanish guitar music. It sounds very impressive to play
Wolf Alice
5/5
Had no expections, but enjoyed every bit of it!
Clutch
5/5
Some hard rock, I often like to listen to. This gave me some vibes like Volbeat and FFDP.
Cool album
The Ike Reilly Assassination
3/5
Was okay, but did not leave a lasting impression on me
Counting Crows
3/5
Sort of a one hit wonder to me. The rest of this album is fine, but a lot sounds just like more of the same
Slapstick
4/5
This was fun. Not the best ska/punk i've heard, but very cool
Silverchair
3/5
The opening track did not hook me. But after a song or 2, it was ok.
High point at 'One Way Mule'.
Then some weaker song with 2 enjoyable ones: 'Too Much of Not Enough' and 'The Lever'
Porcupine Tree
4/5
This was a fine album
Self Esteem
3/5
Peak feminist lyrics. Cool beats
