Surprisingly good. I don't usually listen to punk, but the album was really good despite the somewhat repetitive songs. Police & Thieves is also now on my private playlist :)

Born To Run
Bruce Springsteen
Good Album. Amazing Songs.
I loved how the album was structured. Thunder Road as an overture, than the big one born to run and on the end, the emotional peak, Jungleland. I simply love the saxophone solo's.

This album has its moments. I like his voice and the lyrics. But the orchestration aged a little badly. The songs that stood out, I found out, were by Jacques Brel. (5/10)

Jul 21 2021
Rattus Norvegicus
The Stranglers
A grim and atmospheric ablum sound. The swinging organ theme (as well as its jazz solos) and demented chorus add something to the song Peaches. (6/10)
Favourite Song: Sometimes, Peaches
3
Jul 22 2021
Celebrity Skin
Hole
The core of this album is made up of songs, starting with Celebrity Skin and Awful, that repeat the same pattern: soft melodicism over a male beat and melodramatic riffs. (6/10)
Favourite Tracks: Celebrity Skin, Malibu

Jul 23 2021
The College Dropout
Kanye West
This album surprised me. This is highly intelligent, creative and trans-stylistic postmodernism. The blend of sometimes 3 different styles with a mix of Frank Zappa-esque orchestration. A sharp edge between Hip Hop and Pop (7/10)
Favourite Tracks: Jesus Walks, Spaceship

Third
Portishead
Ein merkwürdiges Album. Irgendwo zwischen elektronischem Bombardement von Beats auf einem Wandteppich aus renaissanceartigem Gesang. War auch irritiert als 2-3 Songs einfach abrupt enden. (6/10)
Favourite Tracks: Hunter, The Rip

Jul 27 2021
Songs From A Room
Leonard Cohen
It's 1969 and Cohen has released a singer-songwriter album. Very brave. Against the prevailing mood, carving a niche for a kind of subdued, lo-fi, intimate, personal lament. He's brilliant. (7/10)
Favourite tracks: The Butcher, Bird on the Wire

Jul 28 2021
Maxinquaye
Tricky
The album seems like a soporific dirges arranged in a minimal style. The sinister sorcery of Abbaon Fat Track and the disco diva funk of Suffocated Love don't rest on much of a foundation. On the other hand, there are really interesting tracks on the record like Black Steel. (6/10)
Favourite Tracks: Black Steel

Actually
Pet Shop Boys
From a technical point of view, the way they were able to start a song with a theme that gave no hint of the main theme will also go down in history. (6/10)
Favourite Tracks: It's a Sin, What Have I Done To Deserve This, "Always on my Mind"

Jul 31 2021
Fever Ray
Fever Ray
A Mix of Sinead O'Connor's pathos nd a bit of icy Nico's voice. The music is easy to listen to, but the lyrics seem a bit banal. (7/10)
Favourite Tracks: If I Had a Heart

Aug 01 2021
Only Built 4 Cuban Linx
Raekwon
The album draws picture of the violent street life, with colloquial dialogues between Raekwon and Ghostface Killah that introduce the various themes as if they were interviewed for a documentary. (6/10)
Favourite Tracks: Ice Cream

Aug 02 2021
Let It Bleed
The Rolling Stones
Another frenetic and rugged album , featuring Gimme Shelter, a quintessential jam that featured post-psychedelic guitar counterpoint. (8/10)
Favourite Songs: Gimme Shelter, You Can’t Always Get What You Want

Virtuoso guitar solos. Some blues numbers that shine more with guitar solos than with vocal performance. (7/10)
Favourite Tracks: Layla, Bell Bottom Blues

Gold
Ryan Adams
A wildly eclectic potpourri, Gold sounded almost like the collaboration between a number of different singer-songwriters. From Neil Young to Allman Brothers (6/10)

Aug 05 2021
Maggot Brain
Funkadelic
This album was a nice spectrum of 70's Rock, a prog-rock track of Wars of Armageddon, or a Jimi Hendrix-esque Solo of Maggot brain. (7/10)
Favourite Track: Maggot Brain, Can You Get to That

Their first album without covers. A lot of love songs. I like them, very pop and happy. (7/10)

Aug 08 2021
Crime Of The Century
Supertramp
Crime of The Century is quite dominated by the pop refrains (like Dreamer) , which were still painted with the harmonic complexities and sounds of progressive-rock. (7/10)
Favourite Songs: Dreamer, Crime of the Century

Aug 09 2021
Double Nickels On The Dime
Minutemen
Each song is a condensate of polemical rage and "wit", firmly structured on dissonant jazz funk, and a haggard and more analytical rambling in the punk idiom. (6/10)
Favourite Songs: Glory Of Man, Corona
3
Aug 10 2021
Californication
Red Hot Chili Peppers
It's a "cleaner" version of Blood Sugar Sex Magik. The music is a formulaic repetition of mainstream stereotypes (that they already used in the previous album). (5/10)
Favourite Tracks: Road Trippin', Otherside

Aug 11 2021
Damaged
Black Flag
The whole thing is a parade of chaotic thrash and wild cacophony that assaults and stuns with its obsessive roar. A mosh pit will appear magically in your mind. (6/10)

Punk meets New Wave. She is a prominent as a singer, I like her catatonic and monotonous voice, shameless and bored. Really fitting to the era. (7/10)
Favourite Tracks: Kool Thing

Goodbye And Hello
Tim Buckley
This record is a collection of poems (Bob Dylan-esque) about an individual who finds himself helplessly at the mercy of the madness of the world. (7/10)

Truth
Jeff Beck
Very innovative album, he changed the classic blues rock to a harder, faster syncopated sound. (6/10)
3
Aug 22 2021
Parachutes
Coldplay
It is above all a demonstration of dynamic and emotional range, as if to prove that the genre has gained maturity and solidity after so many failures (Blur, Oasis). Sparks and Trouble are pretty Smiths-inspired, with the whole album being one gigantic summation of British pop. (7/10)
Favourite Tracks: Yellow, Everything's Not Lost , Sparks

Queen II
Queen
Unfortunately, I cannot rate this album objectively. I grew up with this album and simply love Queen. A dark album in contrast to their later stage-ready songs. (7/10)

The Holy Bible
Manic Street Preachers
If the intention was also to compose music, the Manic Street Preachers end up sounding like less creative. Some Songs are not my cup of tea. (6/10)
Favourite Tracks: She Is Suffering
3
Aug 28 2021
Screamadelica
Primal Scream
A Album devoted to mediocre imitations of Sixties pop. A dance album that was propelled by both strong disco beats and Rolling Stones-like riffs, that fused acid-house and blues-rock. (6/10)
Favourite Songs: Movin' on up, Inner Flight
3
Aug 29 2021
Strangeways, Here We Come
The Smiths
This album is kind of a shrewd collection that offers imitations of their other successes, but with the highest degree of refinement. (7/10)
Favourite Tracks: Girlfriend in a Coma, Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loved Me
4
Aug 30 2021
Parklife
Blur
The album as a whole is a little park walk of the English bourgeoisie and especially their vices, a kind of Kinks concept. But overall it is an album of mediocre songs. (6/10)
Favourite Songs: Parklife, To the End
3
Aug 31 2021
Something/Anything?
Todd Rundgren
Apart from the ingenuity (and that he produced and played everything himself) and the "mimicry" skills, the sound is somewhat still washed out and has little personality. The real creative approaches are found in the instrumental parts. (6/10)
Favourite Tracks: I Saw the Light, Breathless
3
Sep 01 2021
Are You Experienced
Jimi Hendrix
The sound is that of an amphetamine blues-rock with high explosive potential, grouped into short, rough and deadly loads of TNT which erupt in one breath the volcanic energy of the guitar. (8/10)
Favourite Tracks: Red House, Purple Haze, May This Be Love
4
Sep 02 2021
My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy

This overcrowded album certainly brought together good arrangement ambitions in a pompous and multifaceted manner. (7/10)
Favourite Tracks: Runaway, Lost in the World

Vincebus Eruptum
Blue Cheer
The riffs come about slowly, dreadful and hyper-distorted, built around depraved melodies. One of the Bands that really starts playing Heavy Metal. (7/10)

Classic country. There is not much to add to that. You like it or you don't. (6/10)
Favourite Track: Big Iron

Sep 05 2021
Trans Europe Express
Kraftwerk
That's why we had synth-pop in the 80s, techno in the 90s and glitch in the 00s. And today Nintendocore.
One of the first albums that charmed me with robotic rhythms and mechanical melodies. (8/10)
Favourite Songs: Europa Endlos, Franz Schubert

egendary riffs (Whole Lotta Love ) and drum solos (Moby Dick). Simple and good. I love his voice and its sound. (7/10)
Favourite Tracks: Whole Lotta Love, Ramble On

Sep 11 2021
Treasure
Cocteau Twins
This album is a medival-rock-sphere pop mix. The tracks are less pop-songs and more rock. In the fact its amzing how these hamonic experiments are grafted onto rock structures. (7/10)
Favourite Tracks: Lorelei, Persephone

Sep 13 2021
Ace of Spades
Motörhead
Haunting blues rock of the title track (and very good solo), heavy, cadenced songs. Considering that this is a New Wave of British Heavy Metal Ablum (NWOBHM), it's quite okay. (6/10)
Favourite Tracks: Ace of Spades

Sep 14 2021
Clube Da Esquina
Milton Nascimento
A hybrid style that combined elements of sophisticated ballads, samba and jazz. And a really depressing albumcover. (7/10)
Favourite Tracks: Me Deixe Em Paz

At San Quentin
Johnny Cash
The second Live-Prison-Album was okay. The first live-album was comparatively more relaxed to listen to and more interesting. (6/10)
Favourite Tracks: Wreck of the Old '97, Jackson

The double album is practically a collection of extended Stairway to Heaven tracks. (6/10)
Favourite Tracks: Kashmir, Boogie with Stu

Sep 17 2021
The Real Thing
Faith No More
Mike Patton is a talented rock singer and certainly the most interesting and unique in rock since Robert Smith. He steals a lot of the show here, especially on "Zombie Eaters" and the cover of Sabbath's "War Pigs". However, track 4 "Surprise! You're Dead!" sounds like a very good quasi-new metal modern rock band from 1999. (6/10)
Favourite Tracks: Epic, Edge of the World

Sep 18 2021
System Of A Down
System Of A Down
Es hat mir sehr gut gefallen. Die Originalität der Band zeigt sich jedoch am besten in den Liedern, die die I liked it very much. However, the band's originality is best seen in the songs that cross the line between genres, both in the ethnic realm, especially the syncopated Middle Eastern metal fusion, but also the foreign musical accents , in the pop realm, like the bombastic power ballad Spiders. (8/10)
Favorite Tracks: Spiders, Suggestions

Sep 19 2021
A Date With The Everly Brothers
The Everly Brothers
Very modest, pure, elegant, innocent style of optimistic dreamers. Two tenors singing harmonic thirds alternated with the twin riffs of their acoustic guitars, accompanied by a modest rhythm section. The album in short: never a solo, never an out-of-tune note, never an electric arrangement. Succinct and elegant, simple and refreshing, the brothers represented the familiar romance of the average good American boy, neither idol nor rebel. (7/10)
Favourite Tracks: Cathy's Clown, Baby What You Want Me to Do

Bizarre Ride II The Pharcyde
The Pharcyde
Gloomy and at the same time very cheerful album. The jazz elements are well done. Very good for an early 90s hip hop album. (7/10)
Favourite Tracks: I'm That Type of Nigga, Passin' Me By,

Sep 21 2021
Blur
Blur
Song 2 (perhaps the best song) is dissonant vaudeville halfway between Rolling Stones and Sonic Youth. Their traditional melodic sound is delegated to fringe compositions like Strange News From Another Star and Look Inside America. (6/10)
Favourite Track: Song 2
3
Sep 22 2021
Berlin
Lou Reed
Reed sings almost without emotion, and his album has the character of a reportage. Reed's monotone voice and light boogie rhythm practically created a new kind of singer-songwriter, who can be a distant observer and an engaged protagonist at the same time. (7/10)
Favourite Tracks: Caroline Says II, Sad Song
4
Sep 29 2021
Southern Rock Opera
Drive-By Truckers
It's good-humored blend of southern rock, ranging from cow-punk to Southern boogie, from Tom Petty to the Rolling Stones, from "the Band" to Neil Young. (7/10)
Favourite Track: Zip City

Sep 30 2021
The Marshall Mathers LP
Eminem
Mathers is a calculating pop phenomenon (songs alternate with brief spoken interludes of people commenting on Eminem's attitude, of he having oral sex with two guys, etc, the ultimate form of self-glorification) that viscerally exposes calculating pop phenomena. (8/10)
Favorite Tracks: Stan, The Real Slim Shady

Oct 01 2021
Fuzzy Logic
Super Furry Animals
The album sounds something like a mutation of Mott The Hoople paired with the Beatles. The songs are a bit trashy and arranged in the cheesiest way (including a trumpet fanfare and a flute march). (6/10)
Favourite Track: Something 4 The Weekend

Oct 02 2021
Pump
Aerosmith
Pump contains a trio of legitimately classic jams in “Love in an Elevator”, “Janie’s Got a Gun”, and “The Other Side”. The rest of the LP is pretty tight, too. (7/10)

Oct 03 2021
Surfer Rosa
Pixies
This album is destined to remain their great masterpiece, and one of the masterpieces of the entire decade, one of the most influential albums of its time.
Almost every song speaks for itself. It's hard to find a common denominator, apart from extreme creativity and the usual light-heartedness. The songs are songs, but they go against the antithesis of song because they are always blasted by extreme contrasts, sometimes in an erudite way and sometimes in a crazy way. (8/10)
Favourite Songs: Where Is My Mind, Gigantic, Bone Machine

Oct 04 2021
My Generation
The Who
None of the four was a virtuoso, yet each one of them was a genius. My Generation ist pure Wut und Verzweiflung, Geysire jugendlicher Energie, die auch das Talent des größten Songwriters dieser Generation offenbaren. (7/10)
Favourite Tracks: I Can't Explain, My Generation

Oct 05 2021
Pet Sounds
The Beach Boys
Not only was it a concept album, but it was full of eccentric sounds and the songs seemed like collages obtained with a painstaking art of editing, making use of a small orchestra. Nice but little overrated. (7/10)

The tracks exude Pink Floyd's psychedelic majesty, jazz's subdued ambience, random quotations from the history of soul, funk and disco music, and more than a passing mention of Burt Bacharach's and Ennio Morricone's scores. (7/10)

It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back
Public Enemy
The rappers press on dramatically and paroxysmally in a patchwork of rap noises, casual bandisms, scratch improvisations (Terminator X, aka Norman Rogers, the scratch wizard) and electronic disturbances. It's a classic, an overwhelming and sophisticated sampler of revolutionary music. (7/10)
Favourite Tracks: Terminator X to the Edge of Panic

Arthur (Or the Decline and Fall of the British Empire)

Perhaps one of their best concept albums, could not contrast more starkly with the pomposity of The Who's Tommy. (7/10)

Emergency On Planet Earth
Jamiroquai
Cool, clever and mediocre Stevie Wonder impersonator who reintroduces 70s soul and funk with a touch of cabaret theatrics on the album. Good rhythms and creative arrangements (especially when using horns). (6/10)
Favourtie Tracks: When You Gonna Learn?, Blow Your Mind, Whatever It Is, I Can't Stop

Ladies And Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space
Spiritualized
Amazingly, the album features a string quartet, a mixed choir and a brass section. The title track is a de facto classical sonata, solemn and elegant. The composition is but a minor detail compared to the effort and care with which the songs have been arranged and produced. The question that remains to be answered is whether it is art or technique. (7/10)
Favourite Tracks: Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating in Space, I Think I'm in Love

The Madcap Laughs

To the best of my knowledge, The Madcap Laughs is the most comprehensive documentary of schizophrenia in music to date. Reading the background of this album make you cry.... similar to a bad trip... (7/10)

Nebraska
Bruce Springsteen
The Boss is making a statement: “I can write songs without an E Street Band.” I dunno, and I don’t care. Nebraska is a great time-killer, especially if you’re on a long flight or drive. Put it on; forget it’s there. (6/10)

Le Tigre
Le Tigre
The rousing party music of the trio may evoke Sixties' girl-groups, with punchy guitars and dance beats, but in Hannah's mouth it becomes a channel for hard-line feminist ideology. On the surface one hears folk-rock, Motown soul, but each song is a terrible story that leaves deep scars. (6/10)
Favourite Track: Deceptacon

Oct 15 2021
The Joshua Tree
U2
The record is characterised by a somewhat outdated realism, harking back to themes and moods of the 1930s, from Frank Capra to Ernest Hemingway. Where The Streets Have No Name marks a new peak of transcendental intensity, thanks to the frenzied, raga-sounding tones of the long instrumental overture and tribal beat. (7/10)
Favourite Tracks: Where The Streets Have No Name, I Still Haven't Found, With Or Without You, Running To Stand Still

Oct 16 2021
Violator
Depeche Mode
Violator was a major turning point: two guitar tracks like Enjoy The Silence (atmospheric riff over a pensive disco beat) and Personal Jesus (an energetic boogie that will remain their most aggressive track ever), Depeche Mode set themselves apart from the old synthpop. (7/10)
Favourite Tracks: Personal Jesus, Enjoy the Silence, Policy of Truth

Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots

This album is a postmodernist essay. Given the goal, it's no surprise that the songs include digital glitches, falsetto choruses and restless dynamics. (7/10)

Fever To Tell
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Their sound, bordering on garage-rock of the 1960s and on the new wave of the late 1970s, is the quintessence of sexual frustration and existential desperation. The singer proves to be one of the best shouters of her generation. (6/10)

461 Ocean Boulevard
Eric Clapton
Plagued by heroin dependency, Clapton dropped from the scene for some years, but returned triumphant with 461 Ocean Boulevard. Did you know that Clapton’s cover of Bob Marley and the Wailers’ “I Shot the Sheriff” is his only #1 hit on Billboard’s Hot 100? (6/10)

Homework
Daft Punk
The duo indulged in the most artificial/intellectual tricks of various styles of production (hip hop, ambient, funk, industrial, house). Their genre of melodic and exuberant instrumental music was hardly innovative compared with the disco music of their parents. (7/10)

The Velvet Underground & Nico
The Velvet Underground
It's scary how they were ahead of their time. They are immersed in the dark, oppressive atmosphere of German expressionism and French existentialism, but they also exhaled an epic libido: each song was a sexual fetish, and a cathartic sadomaso release. (9/10)
FT: Heroin, Sunday Morning

Young Americans
David Bowie
I’m sure a lot of deep Bowie fans are going to spit and want to slap me, but Young Americans is not a complete must hear. “Fame” is the only gem, and the title track is embarrassing. There also other good songs, in this album. (5/10)
FT: Fame, Across the Universe, Young Americans

Music From Big Pink

Step In The Arena
Gang Starr
I’m not sold on these cats. They were influential on the East Coast rap scene, and in some ways, directly responsible for Wu-Tang Clan. There is a hardcore thread running through this record that definitely shows up in future artists. They had some sick rhymes with lyrical substance, but it never really gets cooking on the album. It’s reminiscent of ATCQ, but with none of the excitement or verve. It’s just kind of…there. (7/10)
FT: Step in the Arena, Execution of a Chump

Suede
Suede
The album created a spasmodic expectation, is a learned encyclopedia of melodramatic tricks, often touching progressive rock arrangements, with a lot of Genesis and Moody Blues between the lines. Moreover, the songs boast lyrics saturated with references to the singer's bisexuality, heroin, sodomy, suicide, according to a plot that sets the music in a bestial world that contrasts (or complements wonderfully) the graceful and innocent face of the singer.

Paranoid
Black Sabbath
Listening to their music was a simple act of collective ritual that required no education. But unlike Beatles fans (who became pop singers at best), the teenagers who identified with the "lightness" of Black Sabbath's music were the very ones who would form rock bands: Black Sabbath spread an alien virus, the heavy metal virus.

Jagged Little Pill
Alanis Morissette
The protagonist of Jagged Little Pill is a little girl with mood swings. The album lives from catchy melodies, and especially from the track Ironic, in which the change of tones in the chorus is extremely emotional. In this little dramatic monologue, Morissette reveals an amazing flair and can speak, whisper, scream and modulate with equal ease, only to explode into a shrill teenage tone. (6/10)

Snivilisation is perhaps one of their most ambitious works, ranging from house to hard rock, using the voice in the subtlest of ways and integrating samples in almost mimetic ways. It is also their most "physical" album, which is a testament to the duo's greatness. (7/10)

Daydream Nation
Sonic Youth
The sound has attained an expressive maturity unparalleled in the annals of the decade: there are still traces of the experimentalism of the early days, but appropriately camouflaged in balanced harmonies and cleverly referenced to the genres of the rock tradition. The motto is: diversity of style in the unity of the arrangement. The ingredients are basically the same as always: cold and distant vocals, strings stretched to the limit of noise, chaotic interweaving of counterpoints, obsessive chord repetitions, insistent percussiveness, alienation effects and tense atmosphere. (8/10)

Metallica
Metallica
The "black" album, contains another of their masterpieces and one of their greatest, Enter Sandman (tank cadence, textbook guitar progression, raw and brash chorus, instrumental bridge that heightens the dramatic tension, chorus, coda), and again digs into the darkest depths of the human soul (Of Wolf And Man, My Friend Of Misery), but in general it marks the beginning of a step backwards towards a more human sound: only three tracks have a "thrash" rhythm.
It is the most "unspectacular" work of their career: Metallica is a classic mainstream hard rock album and you are going to hear it whether you like it or not. (7/10)

The band banished solos permanently and anchored rhythms very clearly. The production is meticulous and you can feel the "touch" of Eno implemented in some songs. (7/10)
FT: Found a Job, Take Me to the River

Sea Change
Beck
Many of these songs, like the ones on the previous two albums, are fairly predictable, but elsewhere Beck uses elegant arrangements to enhance the emotion hidden in the lyrics and to downplay the simplicity of his delivery. (6/10)

Melody A.M.

The album as a whole is a mixed bag: the band's arranging talent is interesting, the compositional art rather superficial. Nevertheless, the album is very easy to listen to and enjoyable. (6/10)

The Band
The Band
The album is even more varied and dense, with a few more classics of their ragged, debonair style, taken a little from 1920s town bands, a little from barrelhouse entertainers, a little from country bands and a little from 19th century minstrels. (7/10)

Take Me Apart

The arrangements are as conventional, predictable, abused and traditional as possible, as proven by the singles LMK and Frontline. It's really well produced and pleasant to listen to, but a 1001? (5/10)

Live And Dangerous
Thin Lizzy
Live & Dangerous would be a fucking A-M-A-Z-I-N-G if it was even close to being a live recording. According to producer Tony Visconti, about 25% of the album is recorded live. Very rocking and exemplary for the time. (6/10)

The White Album

The so-called White Album was an example of the change of mood in rock music towards a simpler and more traditional way of making music. It's an album my parents listened to and so I have a more emotional approach to it. (8/10)
FT: While my Guitar Gently Weeps, Hapiness is a Warm Gun, Blacckbird, Dear Prudence

Juju
Siouxsie And The Banshees
It is a very mature album. Siouxsie is perhaps at the peak of her grotesque vocal abilities, and the backing singers accompany her with truly satanic fervour. McGeogh's atmospheric guitar performs little acrobatic feats that enrich the sound. Pretty dark (7/10)
FT: Spellbound, Arabian Knights

Among The Living
Anthrax
Among The Living shaped the final sound and some of the classics of the genre trash metal. It's like German tourists on the beach with white socks and sandals. It's strange, but you look at it longer than you think you would be looking at it. (5/10)

Kick Out The Jams (Live)

This live album is indeed a grotesque riot of musical cruelty and primitivism, but also an impressive example of destructive power and music of the heart. After that you will understand why modern punk rock is nothing more than a fashion statement. (8/10)

Nothing's Shocking
Jane's Addiction
The singer screams like a cross between David Bowie and Robert ,singing lyrics of urban desolation. Somehow disorganised, the record consists of different genres: heavy metal attacks, mystical psychedelics, the hyper-distorted melodramatic blues in Led Zepplin style. (7/10)

The Fat Of The Land
The Prodigy
An album manifesto that in practice acts as a link between different genres from ambient to heavy metal.

The counter-movement of intellectual rock, which in turn were the antithesis of progressive rock of those years. It has a slight trash factor (6/10).

Odelay
Beck
This is the record with which Beck Hansen legitimises his charisma as the most representative singer-songwriter of the 1990s, when the wild style of rap was combined with the courtly style of the folk ballad. (7/10)
FT: Jack-Ass, Novacane

Evol is a milestone in the band's history, although the album is less profound and disturbing and more traditional rock, the sound contains the essence of two decades of music of moral decay. (7/10)

Surrealistic Pillow
Jefferson Airplane
Free love and LSD. The band knows how to absorb elements of folk, blues, rock and jazz, but it is the vocal harmonies of Slick (high, majestic voice), Balin (soft, sunny voice) and Kantner (sharp, neurotic voice) that set the tone. (7/10)

Fetch The Bolt Cutters
Fiona Apple
It's a musical extravaganza with whimsical arrangements and virtuoso vocal performances, even if the songs sometimes become so erratic that they lose their cohesion. One of the highlights is the piano playing, which unfortunately often remains in the background. As it is, it ends up being more about the lyrics than the music, and there are much better poets and novelists out there. (6/10)
