Opus Dei

Laibach

5/5

Finally, something with a personality, with a distinct atmosphere. I was surprised how much better is their version of Life is life and the rest could be a perfect soundtrack for a dystopian movie.

In Rainbows

Radiohead

5/5

This album did not let me cold. Firstly when I listened to it I would certainly rate it a 4. Fortunately I kept thinking about it the whole day and suddenly I listened to it two more times. First 5 of this list

Goodbye And Hello

Tim Buckley

4/5

Nice album to listen to. I liked how melody was combined with pessimistic lyrics.

I admit I did not listen to the whole album, but it was so uninetresting. Melody was okay I guess.

Spy Vs. Spy: The Music Of Ornette Coleman

John Zorn

1/5

Wow, I didn't know that music can make you so uncomfortable. I didn't like it at all, Korn was at least listenable and sometimes fun.

Spy Vs. Spy: The Music Of Ornette Coleman

All Ratings

Music for the Masses

Depeche Mode

4/5

To Pimp A Butterfly

Kendrick Lamar

2/5

Well, it´s not my thing, I guess. I am still enjoying more of a 90s rap (hip hop). However I really liked some the songs (2nd part is definetely better), the combination of different genres worked very well and lyrics were also sometimes quite interesting. Nevertheless most of the time I was simply bored, maybe the fact, that I don´t live in the US, has also some influence.

Bossanova

Pixies

4/5

Just awesome, nice and cheering music. I definetely need to dive more into Pixies later. Best album I have listened to so far. Mainly I recommend "Is she weird?" and "All over the world".

2112

Rush

3/5

In Rainbows

Radiohead

5/5

Bringing It All Back Home

Bob Dylan

4/5

Just really nice and chilling music. Dylan is indeed more of a poet than musician, so naturally you will get much more from the song when you actually focus to lyrics. I really enjoyed it.

Ingenue

k.d. lang

3/5

Just really chilling nice to listen album. K. D. Lang definetely puts a big amount of work into her songs. Unforrunately for me it didn't work for me. While listening I wasn't quite struck by it on the emotional level. What a coincindence I got this on the Valentine' s day.

Surf's Up

The Beach Boys

3/5

I like several songs by Beach boys, but none of them is on that album. I wasn't very impressed, so I am deciding between 2 and 3. Maybe because of melody and some lyrics I am gonna give it a 3, but maaan.

Every Picture Tells A Story

Rod Stewart

4/5

Really nice surprise. One of the best albums here so far. Some songs are maybe unnecessarily long though.

Another Green World

Brian Eno

3/5

I was so excited after the first song and then it was slowly letting me down. What a pity.

The College Dropout

Kanye West

3/5

Yeah, this was quite fun.

Pump

Aerosmith

4/5

I was so determined after my listening to give it a 5. But several hours later I can't feel it. There are some great songs, however I don't think it deserves a 5.

Hypnotised

The Undertones

2/5

Quite a boring album. Lyrics were meh and musis seemed repetetive.

Sticky Fingers

The Rolling Stones

4/5

Such a great album with a nice country flavor. Really strong 4, maybe 5 one day.

Rum Sodomy & The Lash

The Pogues

3/5

I didn´t expect them to be so...Irish. It was a fun ride.

Dig Me Out

Sleater-Kinney

4/5

Generally I would give it a 3, but the day wanted me to have the mindset for this. Fun ride.

Being There

Wilco

3/5

First song great, the other ones were quite sleepy. 2.5

Woodface

Crowded House

3/5

Oh yeah it 's pretty good.

Parachutes

Coldplay

4/5

Such a nice melody. Even though I don´t like their current music that much I need to check out songs from their earlier years.

Oracular Spectacular

MGMT

2/5

I don't know how to be positive about this album. I knew some songs before and those songs had a nice melody. However the lyrics were in my opinion pretentious and unintersting. Sometimes the mixing of sounds was quite awful.

In It For The Money

Supergrass

4/5

I was quite surprised by it. Nothing special but I had a good time.

Tapestry

Carole King

4/5

It's not the Best thing ever but I thought that it was cool listening in that moment.

Bookends

Simon & Garfunkel

4/5

Experimental, pesimistic tone combined with uplifting lyrics. Interesting album.

Follow The Leader

Korn

1/5

Hmm, the most tiring experience so far.

Goodbye And Hello

Tim Buckley

4/5

Nice album to listen to. I liked how melody was combined with pessimistic lyrics.

Home Is Where The Music Is

Hugh Masekela

4/5

Really nice, pleasant blues (jazz...Idk) music to listen.

Exile On Main Street

The Rolling Stones

4/5

Probably better than Sticky fingers, but still I think (hope) that Rolling Stones can be in even greater shape.

Sister

Sonic Youth

3/5

Not bad, but not that interesting to give it a 4.

You Want It Darker

Leonard Cohen

4/5

Such a great voice from Cohen. Some songs were great, some od them probably won't stuck in my head.

The Psychedelic Sounds of the 13th Floor Elevators

The 13th Floor Elevators

3/5

Like it's okay, but on the other hand very forgetable.

Bluesbreakers

John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers

4/5

Well that's what I expect from rock music in 60s. Really great album. Even though It's not enough for a 5, I will definetely come back to it.

Scream, Dracula, Scream

Rocket From The Crypt

4/5

I got such hyped with this. That's how I imagine classic rock music. Definitely I will listen it again. However I don't think it's something special for 5.

Solid Air

John Martyn

4/5

Great album. Martyn has nice voice. Good lyrics.

Clandestino

Manu Chao

4/5

Such a relaxing music. I will definetely revisit it again.

Rip It Up

Orange Juice

3/5

Quite okay. You could hear how they wanted to differantiate from the other musím back in the 80s, however that didn't quite worked for me.

Madman Across The Water

Elton John

4/5

Really good music. I am not such a big fan od Elton John, but afer this I am gonna give him a chance. My favorite song from him Tiny dancer is here and that's also a big plus.

Ragged Glory

Neil Young & Crazy Horse

4/5

Worse 4, the songs later in the album seemed to me a bit on the same note. Anyway, good rock album from late "80s".

Spy Vs. Spy: The Music Of Ornette Coleman

John Zorn

1/5

Wow, I didn't know that music can make you so uncomfortable. I didn't like it at all, Korn was at least listenable and sometimes fun.

Opus Dei

Laibach

5/5

Finally, something with a personality, with a distinct atmosphere. I was surprised how much better is their version of Life is life and the rest could be a perfect soundtrack for a dystopian movie.

Darkness on the Edge of Town

Bruce Springsteen

4/5

Again I like this type od music from 70s, 80s. Bruce has a nice voice, songs are different from each other. Probably better than most of 4 ratings here.

Back At The Chicken Shack

Jimmy Smith

4/5

Good, calming and charming jazz. I will probably come back to it, when I will tired after long day.

Leftism

Leftfield

2/5

Fine metody without emotional value. I Canon absolutely listen the music, it just doesn't hit me by my heart.

Eagles

3/5

When I focused on a music itself I started to be quite dissapointed, the sound is fine, but that's just it.

Introducing The Hardline According To Terence Trent D'Arby

Terence Trent D'Arby

4/5

Some really nice songs, but I doubt I will remember it in the future. Worse 4.

School's Out

Alice Cooper

4/5

So weird and so over the top. Alice Cooper was totally somewhere else with his music. I liked it a lot.

The Lexicon Of Love

ABC

4/5

I had a pleasure time with this band. Although I am not sure how much it was swing or pop or something else.

Channel Orange

Frank Ocean

4/5

Is this one of the best 4s so far? Probably yes. I am really surprised how well the album sounded. The melody with a differnt genres, including rap. There are some flaws, which tear it a bit down to make it a 5. But maybe one day...

The United States Of America

4/5

I don't it is not that bad, but the try for psychedelic rock just doesn't succeed for me.

Olympia 64

Jacques Brel

3/5

Nice music, pretty voice, but Brel plays the game mainly on his lyrics. Even though I am learning French I am not able to understand it properly. Not even talking that near the end I was little bit bored.

Licensed To Ill

Beastie Boys

4/5

Good stuff, I like how they combined their rock with the rap sections.

Definitely Maybe

Oasis

4/5

One of the better 4. I am excited for their next albums, because this has some potential. So far I prefer Oasis over Blur.

Dog Man Star

Suede

3/5

I don't know what to say about it. Maybe it's okay.

Another Music In A Different Kitchen

Buzzcocks

2/5

For me, quite a boring Brit-rock-punk album. There is nothing, which would stick out or get into your head.

Armed Forces

Elvis Costello & The Attractions

4/5

That's how Buzzcocks should have sounded. I will probably listen to it again.

Sincere

Mj Cole

2/5

I admit I did not listen to the whole album, but it was so uninetresting. Melody was okay I guess.

I Never Loved a Man the Way I Love You

Fishscale

Ghostface Killah

3/5

Oh yes, I enjoyed it. With "Be easy" being the Best song.

4/5

Good country music, what else do I have to say?

Richard Thompson

3/5

Good american, country music, don't have anything else to say about it.

Colour By Numbers

Culture Club

3/5

Hmm, quite a generic 80s music. However that doesn´t mean I did not enjoyed it, some of the songs were really catchy.

Beach Samba

Astrud Gilberto

2/5

Really such a non-captivating music at all. Lyrics were quite lame, but the sound often times saved the whole song.

Five Leaves Left

Nick Drake

3/5

So calming and charming music, which I just need to respect. However it didn't hit my emotional string.

Ray Of Light

Madonna

4/5

Weaker 4, some of the songs were quite great, however I wouldn't mind if the was about 10 minutes shorter.

Tres Hombres

ZZ Top

4/5

Oh yeah, it got me moving over my room.

It wasn´t terrible, but after a while you just get bored by it.

Diamond Life

Sade

3/5

Okay listening.

Our Aim Is To Satisfy

Red Snapper

3/5

I don´t know, I was esily boored by the album, but I am gonna feel bad if I rate it lower than average 3, because I simply couldn´t listen to whole thing.

Illinois

Sufjan Stevens

4/5

So strong and immersive album, I loved the whispering tone which was present almost the entire album.

Destroy Rock & Roll

Mylo

4/5

I already know ABBA, there were less knnown songs, which I also enjoyed.

Maxwell's Urban Hang Suite

Maxwell

2/5

Just really forgetable.

Little Earthquakes

Tori Amos

4/5

Great album, some sings seemed to me to be a little sleepy vibe, but I wouldn´t be surprised to give it a 5 one day.

Maggot Brain

Funkadelic

4/5

Strong 4, it is not something, which I will probably remember for long time, but some songs were especially great. Mainly Maggot brain.

Come Find Yourself

Fun Lovin' Criminals

4/5

And they say it's better than crack, plus It keeps them mellow and passive... I guess... Methadonia

Fromohio

fIREHOSE

3/5

Nice rock, but didn´t hit me.

On The Beach

Neil Young

2/5

Birth Of The Cool

Miles Davis

4/5

Crosby, Stills & Nash

3/5

A solid 3. I wouldn´t say that it´s something extraordinary, but there are some great parts, such as at the beginning and the middle of the album. Quite a good production as well, but still it did not hit me on an emotional level.

Daydream Nation

Sonic Youth

3/5

Ill Communication

Beastie Boys

4/5

Low 4. It is a classic, but still it left a little bit underwhelmed.

Yank Crime

Drive Like Jehu

3/5

Just a real mid. Nothing interesting.

American Idiot

Green Day

3/5

Almost a 4. One of my favorite bands of my teenage years, but unfortunately I pretty much grown from them. There are some great songs, but on the other hand there are quite generic and very long, repetetive numbers, which drag this album down.

The xx

3/5

Just nice background music.

Step In The Arena
