Maybe I wasn't in the mood but didn't get much from this.... Definitely too experimental for me. Maybe would get more from it under different circumstances...

Enjoyed this, tight 80s smooth soulful pop. Reminded me of Phil Collins/Genesis at times and Michael Jackson at others. Fav track: Jericho

Second listen. I enjoyed the album much more the second time around and it will definitely grow from there. Very smooth, has an old-school sound yet modern, quite beautiful. Glad to see a recent album on here. Fav tracks: White Dress, Chemtrails, Dark, Yosemite

Easy 5. Great album, easygoing and groovy.

Very nice album Love the dark witty lyrics Paul Simon singer/songwriter vibes Everybody Knows, I'm Your Man, Jazz Police and Tower of Song were particular favourites

nice, spacious, Bjork but catchier, grows as you listen to the album

It's Eminem... Specific rap style love or hate it, maximum edginess, good beats

Prefer The Beatles :P Not many tracks left an impact, so can't score the album highly I liked the Village Green and Wicked Annabella

Pleasant, spacey, atmospheric A good listen :) Flugufrelsarinn was good (I think)

Nice short bit of guitar worship Bit too Led Zeppelin for my taste - I can appreciate it even if I've never been a big fan of this vibe Fav track: The Twilight Zone

Nice, sounds like the grandfather of a lot of similar music to come in the 00s onwards. I may have a bias towards this type of indie-pop, so although it sounds quite familiar, a very pleasant listen.

Chilled, very 70s Almost deserves 5 stars on Heart of Gold alone... Good album overall with a few shaky songs

Nice drums at the end of Death of a Disco Dancer. I really like some of The Smiths stuff, but other times his voice and lyrics are just hit and miss for me. This album is no different, interesting lyrics both good and bad depending on how you look at it. I can imagine it's not everyone's cup but one thing I can say is it's not dull... Fav tracks: Girlfriend in a Coma, Stop Me, Paint a Vulgar Picture

Similar to the Kinks album, some good tracks but overall, it's fine but most tracks didn't leave much of an impression Fav: Total Trash, Kissability

Some good songs/beats

Good stuff, interesting lyrics on top of catchy pop, don't love every track though Fav tracks: Becoming More Like Alfie, Songs of Love, The Frog Princess, Through a Long & Sleepless Night

Good guitar, similar to the Rush album but preferred that one though

Love this album. Listened to quite a bit of Bowie recently and this absolutely lives up to his best. I love the variation from track to track. The album never fails to surprise and delight. Fav track is probably Girl Loves Me.

It was alright, some good stories to be told as you'd expect from Springsteen. Only really liked half the tracks on the first listen though, might need another listen.

Very much a good example of late 80s/early 90s style of hip-hop. I'm not that into the beats/vibe personally. But the album picked up as I got into it a bit more later on. Appreciate Latifah's strong female presence in a male-dominated genre. Fav tracks: The Pros and Ladies First

Not really for me. I could listen to one of the songs on here and that would be all I need of the album. Reminds me of playing Tony Hawk's Pro Skater though which is cool :P

I liked it, very similar to Bowie from that era obviously

A good listen, no complaints. Enjoyable although I had it on in the background and know little about Jazz, so I wouldn't be able to distinguish the songs from each other. I will say I wouldn't mind returning to this for some relaxing laidback tunes.

Started off strong and I like the album artwork, but lost interest towards the end. Some strong guitar and bass but a bit uninteresting overall for me.

Not too much of a thrash metal fan, disclaimer. Album started off ok but beyond the first three songs, there was nothing appealing for me.

Solid album. I like the vocals. This is one of those 90s alternative bands that flew under the radar. Quite a nice find.

I wouldn't go out of my way to listen to this. Not for me.

Some solid songs but nothing great overall

Rufus has always been one of those "artsy" pop artists for me. I have liked some of his stuff though (Moulin Rouge). Glad to finally give him a proper listen. Thoroughly enjoyed this interesting album. Very pleasant throughout.

Not bad. I liked Adult Books and White Girl.

Bob Dylan is quite hit and miss for me, especially lyrically, but also, the heavy use of harmonica and his vocal style. I liked tracks 1-3 and 7.

Energetic! But not out of control. This will pump you up. Love the drums in the mix. While I prefer Toxicity, this is still a great album of the era. Fav track: Spiders

I enjoyed this. Great beats on some tracks, like Ready or Not. I also like their covers of Killing Me Softly and No Woman. Fu-Gee-La was another stand out.

This was just alright. Similar to Florence + the Machine vocally I feel. It started off well but was a bit boring towards the end. Fav track: Sullen Girl Worst track: Slow Like Honey

Enjoyed listening to this on a rainy day. Nice change of pace.

This is nice. Great vocal performance, stand out. Faves: Lilac Wine, Break Down, Wild, If I Should Lose You

Good but a bit chaotic compared to the previous album

Take Five is a song that everyone has heard somewhere, probably the most recognisable smooth jazz tune. This is a relaxing album, enjoyed as background music. Not sure how much I like jazz in general but this was a nice listen.

Really enjoyed this interesting soundtrack album/score. Every song was varied but impressive from front to back. Loved the drums in The Word Hurricane reminiscent of Daft Punk's RAM. Will definitely return to this.

This is reminds me very much of The Kinks album. In that it reminds me very much of The Beatles but not as good. It has some silly nonsensical lyrics and a couple of tracks that I like. I like the lyrics in Love You for instance. It's not too bad but I do prefer that album to this though overall.

Maybe I wasn't in the mood but didn't get much from this.... Definitely too experimental for me. Maybe would get more from it under different circumstances...

Enjoyed this, tight 80s smooth soulful pop. Reminded me of Phil Collins/Genesis at times and Michael Jackson at others. Fav track: Jericho

Decent, Elvis vibes, I liked the first song most

Always enjoy Paul Simon, groovy, intriguing lyrics, good stuff

Nice vibe, liked a couple of stand-out tracks

Some good songs, obviously Tainted Love is a classic. Enjoyable overall, liked the slightly depressing tone

Engrossing, varied, more serious than his other work, better than I was expecting

Honestly was a bit disappointed with this. It's fine and some great songs but not as impressive as Rumours IMO. Thought I'd like it more but probably is a grower.

Electro's repetitive samples are sometimes a bit much for me, but enjoyable if you get into the groove/are in the mood. Nostalgic for this time period (turn of the millennium)

Didn't do much for me

Absolutely solid, Abba have undeniable songwriting skills shown throughout this album

Some good tracks (1 and 3) but just fine overall

Enjoyable

Enjoyable, like the contrast in the two albums. Apart from the big hits, I like Speakerboxxx more than The Love Below.

Loved Deacon Blues and Home At Last, but quite hit or miss overall for me

Solid, a timeless sound

Started off strong and continued strong, loved it

Great guitar solos, great vibe. Bit long though. Obviously the famous tracks are the stand-outs.

Liked 2 songs, disliked many of the others

Will need to listen again to get the full lyrical story. Musically was great though.

Angry. Don't typically like this genre but this was enjoyable if you are in the mood. Raw energy.

I wish I could give more based on American Girl, that song is epic. And Breakdown as well. But overall the other tracks were underwhelming.

Not my favourite Coldplay album but they really locked in their signature sound right away in this album. Very iconic and deserves credit for being such a great debut. Favourite tracks::Yellow, Everything's Not Lost

Very impressed with this album. Was expecting another boring Beatles-but-worse album from the 60s. This was great all-round just not quite a 5, a very strong 4 though. Fav track: Changes

This is a generous 3... I love Little Red Corvette and a few other tracks are good, but there are many bloated tracks that I don't care for at all

Second listen. I enjoyed the album much more the second time around and it will definitely grow from there. Very smooth, has an old-school sound yet modern, quite beautiful. Glad to see a recent album on here. Fav tracks: White Dress, Chemtrails, Dark, Yosemite

Not really for me, liked a couple of tracks such as Go Gina.

Rating this before the album has even finished... This is a 5/5 Great album, loving it.

Enjoyed this, simple indie rock but effortless. Great voice and lyrics along with the music. Album starts strong and gets stronger.

Best Eminem album. He is at his insane, creative best here. Good beats. Good features.

Enjoyable. Love Hungry Like The Wolf and Rio, the rest was fine.

Rather disappointing considering how much I like Paul Simon in general. Only really liked the standout tracks Julio and Mother and Child Reunion. The rest were rather bland, not bad but not great. Giving the rating mostly on those two great tracks.

Enjoyed a couple of songs but also not others.

This was a tough one to rate. I really like a lot of the songs on this album, but there are others which just are very dull and a skip. I think overall the great songs overpower the filler tracks though. You have to be in the mood for this type of cheesy rock, if you are you'll be in for a ride.

Easy listening, inoffensive, bit lethargic at times.

Fusing the best of Radiohead's previous albums, this has a bit of everything and all done well. Experimenting with their sound, they found a great balance on this album. Favourite tracks: Nude, All I Need, Reckoner, Jigsaw Falling Into Place

Love Randy Newman's style, very enjoyable listen throughout

Enjoyed this a lot. Varied tracks with good beats and inspiring lyrics.

Enjoyed this a lot. Great combination of varied alt rock songs with interesting lyrics.

Liked a couple of tracks but most of the others were not for me

Reminded me of the Leonard Cohen album I first heard on the 1001 albums journey. Very good. Love both the music and lyrics. Also reminds me of Pulp and Alex Cameron.

While I prefer Folklore, the sister album is almost as good. Just a fantastic pair of singer-songwriter albums that transport you to the woods... Best work by Taylor Swift by far. Fav tracks: No Body, No Crime Dorothea Willow Tis the Damn Season Coney Island

Very enjoyable, relaxing, good times

Can clearly hear the influence on other bands I enjoy. Good album.

Interesting, but not entirely for me Fav track: Cool in the Pool

Better than I expected, enjoyable but don't really like BillY Corgan's voice unfortunately. Fav Tracks: Today, Disarm, Mayonaise

Not for me but appreciate the concept

Easy 5. Great album, easygoing and groovy.

Disappointing. Not as good as I'm Your Man

This is controversial. I know this album is very well received generally. I love Back to Black (the song), but the album doesn't do it for me. Back to Black is such an amazing song though, absolute standout for me, that song would get 5/5. This score is bearing in mind that all the albums on this list are good albums, so it is within that context.

Unfortunately a bit too "house" for me, especially compared to their later work, definitely prefer the later albums. Apart from Around The World, obviously.

Best Muse album I've heard fully. The lyrics are a bit ridiculous for the most part but the music still holds up.

Similar to other metal albums for me, but not bad. Top tracks: Countess Bathory, Buried Alive, Sacrifice

Solid, interesting guitar work, been keen to listen to Pixies. Fav tracks: Ana, All Over The World, The Happening, Stormy Weather

I enjoyed a couple of tracks but most of the album was just ok. Probably won't return to it except for the few tracks I enjoyed.

Boring, standard 80s glam rock, nothing stands out to me

Very enjoyable 80s bops, even if the best song is a cover of a Prince song. Enjoyed this one.

Fantastic, beautiful, loved it

This was an interesting one for me and hard to rate. Got stronger towards the end of the album. I love Noel's songwriting and guitar... But hate Liam's voice tbh which pulls it down. However, Live Forever is an AMAZING song and some great tracks towards the end as well bring it up.

Enjoyable but surprisingly it's a bit over the top for me

Some classic Bowie creativity here. Not as flashy or artistic as the later material but some bops and high levels of talent.

This is another easy 5. It may not be as artistically creative as the later albums but it is still a great listen front to back. Definitely inspired other bands such as Muse, Coldplay etc. Fav track: Fake Plastic Trees

Probably their most consistent album, a classic.

Beautiful stuff. I didn't appreciate this album when I initially heard it but it's good. You heard it here first.

Enjoyed this more than I thought. Very varied array of pop tracks. Didn't like the Prince-ish Love Song.

Love the guitar solos, solid debut front to back

Great classic album, bringing together all band members talents. Varied and delicious.

Enjoyed this a bit more than Definitely, Maybe overall. Some great songs on here, Wonderwall not being one of them. Fav track: Don't Look Back in Anger Worst track: Wonderwall

Couple of songs are growers but overall a very good album. The good songs are great and that's most of them, especially towards the back end.

What can I say, crazy album. Iconic. Kendrick Lamar is on another level with this album for sure. Masterpiece of storytelling with a point. And so creative. That being said, I don't fully get all of it and there are some tracks I don't vibe with at all. Not a perfect album for me but I can see why it's so well loved and I appreciate most of it.

Probably will grow on me with more listens but I preferred Figure 8 just after the first listen. Very good album no doubt, loved the singles, and the rest was enjoyable but didn't grab me right away. Still very solid.

I slightly prefer This Is Hardcore of the two Pulp albums I've listened to, but only slightly. They are both amazing 90s classic Britpop albums.

Influence of this album can't be overstated. Iconic. Despite some of the songs being overplayed to death, the album holds up. The fusion of raw angst, meaningful songwriting, catchy melodies and great production is what elevates this.

This grew on me and I enjoyed it a lot more than I expected. Very peaceful and relaxing album. I don't normally like jazz but this is a vibe, subtle and chilled. Great voice.

Some good songs but overall too long/bloated.

Love the guitars. First half of the album is fire and the last song. Unfortunately there are a couple of mid songs towards the back so not a perfect album for me.

Their best album. So good. The first two songs are the best openers and then the final two songs are the best closers of an album. Amazing.
