Gold

Ryan Adams

4/5

Judging from the other comments, I am lucky that I don't now Ryan Adams at all. So purely based on the music it is 4/5 for me. The album is too long though, not possible to listen in one day.

4/5

4/5

The songs that are on Spotify are great

Dance Mania

Tito Puente

3/5

Cha-cha-cha!

Drunk

4/5

Had to listen multiple times to decide on this album. Rap and jazz is an interesting combo, but some of the songs were a bit too much.

Faust IV

Faust

1/5

Very weird in an not enjoyable way

2112

Rush

5/5

Really enjoyable album, will come back

Cafe Bleu

The Style Council

3/5

Very schizophrenic album. They should have stayed with the jazz tunes, I felt they did those best

Genesis

5/5

So many moving pieces - on my first listen I was overwhelmed, but with more listens I started to enjoy the album a lot.

Meat Is Murder

The Smiths

3/5

All Things Must Pass

George Harrison

3/5

Unusually long album. Generally great songs with some misses in the mix

The Shamen

2/5

Gets better later in the album but overall it was not a good album

3/5

While the songs were generally nice, this album was way too long.

Belle & Sebastian

4/5

Very cozy to listen to

Disraeli Gears

Cream

4/5

Kinda liked this album

Warehouse: Songs And Stories

Hüsker Dü

2/5

Great guitar playing but when it is repeated 20 times without any real progression I get bored.

It's Blitz!

Yeah Yeah Yeahs

3/5

Two huge bangers followed by a slow album. In the end I wanted much more intensity than I got, and therefore I can only give this 3 stars.

Oar

Alexander 'Skip' Spence

3/5

The songs of this album are odd and dark, but somehow also manages to be interesting.

Tusk

Fleetwood Mac

4/5

Great album

Elvis Is Back

Elvis Presley

5/5

Solid album, great production that highlights the great voice of Elvis.

Younger Than Yesterday

The Byrds

4/5

Lovely dad rock

Emperor Tomato Ketchup

Stereolab

3/5

Weird album yet easy to listen to

This Nation’s Saving Grace

The Fall

2/5

Not my cup of tea. The overall sound was interesting, but the vocals were not great, which ruined it for me.

Aja

Steely Dan

4/5

Perfect for a slow morning

Entertainment

Gang Of Four

4/5

Punk is usually a pass for me, but this album feels really well produced and less gritty. Perhaps this makes it less punk, but I like it.

Darkdancer

Les Rythmes Digitales

5/5

This really scratched an itch I didn't know I had

Loveless

My Bloody Valentine

1/5

Annoying to listen to.

Abbey Road

Beatles

5/5

Yep, this album is filled with bangers

The Wall

Pink Floyd

4/5

I have not heard not Pink Floyd beforehand. I think the album managed to stay interesting despite its length.

Rum Sodomy & The Lash

The Pogues

3/5

The album was well done, but apart from being in a pub, I cannot think of a time where I would seriously listen to this.

Psychocandy

The Jesus And Mary Chain

2/5

Just Like Honey was a great start to this album, but this was unfortunately also the albums only strength. The rest of the album sounded the same, so the album got old really fast.

Nilsson Schmilsson

Harry Nilsson

4/5

Great album with lots of good songs and occasional less good songs

Live At The Star Club, Hamburg

Jerry Lee Lewis

4/5

Love the energy of this album

In The Court Of The Crimson King

King Crimson

5/5

Prog album that deserves multiple listens

Definitely Maybe

Oasis

3/5

Mediocre and muddy

American Pie

Don McLean

4/5

This is a very pleasant album to listen to.

Never Mind The Bollocks, Here’s The Sex Pistols

Sex Pistols

3/5

I don't like punk but some parts of this album still stood out

Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)

Wu-Tang Clan

4/5

While not my style I can feel the impact of the Wu-Tang Clan

Let's Get It On

Marvin Gaye

4/5

Another user wrote "this album oozes soul". I totally agree, but it also oozes sex.

Yankee Hotel Foxtrot

Wilco

4/5

Well produced and good overall sound, but it lacks that final oomph to make it stand out.

It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back

Public Enemy

4/5

After a long streak of indie rock albums, this album really stood out. I especially enjoyed the raw sound which blended well with the rapping.

(Pronounced 'Leh-'Nérd 'Skin-'Nérd)

Lynyrd Skynyrd

5/5

Dad rock as it should be. Would definitely listen again.

The World is a Ghetto

War

5/5

Based on the artist and album name I did not expect a soul funk jazz album. It surprised me a lot, and I will definitely come back to this album later. I feel like this album is the essence of an album you must hear before you die.

Parsley, Sage, Rosemary And Thyme

Simon & Garfunkel

4/5

Great voice with a fitting background sound. I think the first part of the album was the strongest, which is why I can only give et 4 stars.

Raising Hell

Run-D.M.C.

2/5

I don't enjoy shouting rap to heavy beats, and this was repeated throughout the album.

Black Holes and Revelations

Muse

4/5

I am a Muse fan, but after a thorough listen, I must admit this album has not aged as well as I remembered. I give it 4 stars because there are some really great songs in between.

Bridge Over Troubled Water

Simon & Garfunkel

4/5

No doubt that this a great album with solid songs, but once I finished listening, I kinda missed something that stood out.

The Stooges

3/5

Some parts of the album were really interesting, but there is no doubt that this is an old record and this was too jarring for me.

Gunfighter Ballads And Trail Songs

Marty Robbins

5/5

This album is so much better than present day country music. I will return to this album for sure.

Brothers

The Black Keys

4/5

Great album and great sound. Though it's too long for how little variation there is between the songs

Pills 'n' Thrills And Bellyaches

Happy Mondays

2/5

Experimental album with some very catchy instrumentation. Sadly the lead singer's voice was really jarring to me, which ruined everything for me.

Frampton Comes Alive

Peter Frampton

4/5

Live dad rock album with great guitar playing

Quiet Life

Japan

4/5

Crazy to think that this is from the 70s when it sounds like the 80s. A fun album, but it is tad too long.

Led Zeppelin II

Led Zeppelin

4/5

An album of some the best songs out there and then some mediocre ones. Thanks for the rollercoaster ride, it was fun!

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

5/5

Great album, I love Tom Petty, and will keep coming back.

The Black Saint And The Sinner Lady

Charles Mingus

3/5

I am not a jazz guy, but I enjoyed the impressive playing and composition.

Tigermilk

Belle & Sebastian

4/5

A sweet album, with a crazy song in "Electronic Renaissance" - I would love if the whole album sounded like that song instead.

Toys In The Attic

Aerosmith

3/5

Only "Walk This Way" and "Sweet Emotion" are good. Rest of the album was forgettable.

Jagged Little Pill

Alanis Morissette

3/5

This is just an okay album, neither special nor bad.

Hard Again

Muddy Waters

4/5

Really cool blues album!

Fear Of Music

Talking Heads

4/5

On a first listen it takes time to get used to the sound of Talking Heads, but as the album went on I enjoyed it more and more.

Is This It

The Strokes

3/5

This album is really interesting and hard to listen to at the same time. Fun experience but not likely I'm coming back

Arrival

ABBA

5/5

It's hard to pinpoint why, but this album just instantly makes me happy when I hear it.

Fragile

Yes

3/5

Roundabout is incredible, great lyrics, interesting instrumentation, long play time with development over the song. Rest of the songs are more a mixed bag. I would have rated this album higher if 3-4 of the duds were left out of the album and it was just a tad more cohesive between songs.

Iron Maiden

4/5

Iron Maiden has done a lot of cool shit. While this album is also cool it could be ever so slightly more cool.

Francis Albert Sinatra & Antonio Carlos Jobim

Frank Sinatra

5/5

This album was smoooooth. Nice.

Kilimanjaro

The Teardrop Explodes

3/5

Some of it was okay.

Paul's Boutique
