Play by Moby
Sep 17 2021

This is an amazing album! I first got acquainted with the work of Moby. It has never happened before that I liked absolutely all the songs on the album. Even my favorite bands. But here everything is different: all the songs in the album are different in style / genre, and even to the 18th song the brain does not have time to get used to it and gets more pleasure. Despite the lack of genre boundaries, the album leaves a full-fledged aftertaste and self-image as a phenomenon. And I want to listen to more. Not selectively, but a whole album! It is endlessly interesting to listen to. In a word, "Play" is the best thing that I have met in the musical field lately.

Fuzzy Logic by Super Furry Animals
Sep 20 2021

In general, it was strange for me. I really love psychedelic and, I like glam metal / rock. But their combination has not made an impression on me Unfortunately, the group (album) was not hooked. It singled out three songs for myrself from the album: 1) Long go; 2) Gathering moss And another one is interesting for its history: Hanging with Howard Marks

The Gershwin Songbook by Ella Fitzgerald
Sep 22 2021

I cannot say that I "feel" and "understand" jazz at this moment in my life. But Ella is a genius who brought me a little closer to this understanding. Most liked compositions: Just another rhumba, Sam and Delilah, But not for me, My One and Only, The Man I love, Clap Yo Hands, The Half of it, He loves and She loves

Boston by Boston
Sep 23 2021

Great classic hard rock. Wonderful "mordents". It has became clear, who among other things influenced the formation of Russian rock. Best Composition - Foreplay / Long Time

Another Green World by Brian Eno
Sep 24 2021

Ambient ... This can really be interesting, but, apparently, specifically in that format, the implementation did not hook this one. I want to highlight 4 compositions: Sombre Reptiles (Best!!!), In dark trees, Spirits drifting, Golden Hours

Dirty by Sonic Youth
Sep 27 2021

Not my genre, apparently. But here, too, there are interesting compositions: Theresa's sound world On the strip Orange rolls +/-

Connected by Stereo MC's
Sep 28 2021

It's not my genre, and I would be subjective, but Fade away is really good track:)

White Light by Gene Clark
Sep 29 2021

It was so boring for me. All sings are same, it seems to me. The virgin and In winter are the Best from all another

Siamese Dream by The Smashing Pumpkins
Sep 30 2021

I don't like alternative Rock and grunge, but this album - is exeption. Really great thing. The Best Composition - "Soma"

Sound Affects by The Jam
Oct 01 2021

That's Entertaimment - is the most interesting composition of this album. It was curious for me to find out about this band

Rum Sodomy & The Lash by The Pogues
Oct 04 2021

Only four songs I like in this album. I understand that there is so much politics. I can not realize it fully, but I can feel, and I felt! Shane MacGowan is very charismatic frontman! The Best Song is Dirty Old Town

Sincere by Mj Cole
Oct 05 2021

This genre is not for me

Make Yourself by Incubus
Oct 06 2021

I usually hate nu-metal, but this is really good and interesting album! I am surprised. The Best Songs are Drive and Warmth

Architecture And Morality by Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark
Oct 12 2021

The most interesting Song is The New Stone Age. And much of the rest - I have not remembered

Dig Your Own Hole by The Chemical Brothers
Oct 13 2021

Dont like electronic genre, but I could find something interesting in this album. Setting sun - is the best

Bone Machine by Tom Waits
Oct 14 2021

May be it is interesting in its concept, but I don't feel this music

Heartattack And Vine by Tom Waits
Oct 15 2021

Waits' performative lyrics are classy, ​​but the performance isn't always perceived. But compared to Bone Machine, it is much more listenable. Also the bass line is perfect:)

Bandwagonesque by Teenage Fanclub
Oct 18 2021

I did not find anything remarkable in this album. No distinctively characteristic memorable features in the compositions with their fairly good quality

Paris 1919 by John Cale
Nov 15 2021

Great album! All compositions are powerfully connected by the concept, while each one is different. Feel free to listen to this album in its entirety. Cale opened to me this uniqe genre as barocco-pop

It's A Shame About Ray by The Lemonheads
Nov 16 2021

The compositions are the same. Such teenage pop punk. Music for jumping. But behind the general rhythmic uniformity, there are interesting instrumental inclusions. The Best - Ceiling fan in my spoon

Treasure by Cocteau Twins
Nov 17 2021

This the Best album of shoegaze in all! Persephone - the fairest

Vivid by Living Colour
Nov 18 2021

This album is a revelation for me. Through METAL - funk opened up to me in a new way. It's such a groove and drive! The brightest interweaving in the album of electronic and instrumental heavy music, with hop and funk. Bests - "Whats your favorite color?" and "Middle Man"

Antichrist Superstar by Marilyn Manson
Nov 19 2021

A very dark and harshly social album that heralded the end of grunge, but you can still feel its breath in places. In general, the album is positioned as industrial metal, but in it you can hear both the interruptions and blast beats characteristic of death metal, and the complex inclusions of prog metal (yes, a weighted relative of prog rock), gloominess and the frequent splitting technique in vocals for gothic rock , vibrations of new wave synths, noises! In short, I really rethought this dude! The Best songs: Dried up, tied and dead to the world; Tourniquet
