Somewhat avant-Garde pop album. I'm not that impressed but maybe it was a breath of fresh air in the 90's compared to the other pop music that was going on. It doesn't feel dated and locked into the 90's when comparing to other pop artists during the same era. Björks vocals and lyrics are the best part of the album. The instrumentals are a mix of traditional instruments and electronic club-ish vibes. The album as a whole is OK and the songs transition nicely. It's very well produced. The album got some interesting songs but overall Björk is not really my taste.

Compared to Björks album Debut this lacks energy. Björks vocals as usual are splendid but the accompanying instrumentals could need a little more punch. I actually miss the electronic club vibes from Debut. Vespertine lays it focus on the more artsy side. The production quality is extremely well done and there really isn't anything lacking when it comes to the mixing. After listening to this album I would like to go back and increase my rating for Debut.

I never actually heard about Crowded House before and I was surprised on how many plays they had on Spotify. So I went in blind and started listening to Woodface. My first impression is that it reminds me of Steely Dan with a sprinkle of R.E.M. It's a little bit of pop rock and soft rock. Further into the album that perception changed. It's got some psychedelia and differs quite a lot from the Steely Dan I've listened to. The album is from 1991 but could easily have been made in the mid 80's. So what do I think about Woodface? It's not my type of rock for sure but overall it's a solid album.

My Bruce Springsteen experience is limited to Born in the USA and Born to Run with a couple of songs here. When I saw that Nebraska was the album for the day I got pleasantly surprised as I've never listened to it. The opening song to Nebraska which is also called Nebraska starts very slow and much more folk than I'm used to when it comes to Springsteen. The following song Atlantic City picks up the pace but keeps the same folk style. Nebraska continues as a folk album which is very different from what I'm used to. It really required me to stop what I was doing and sit down and listen to the lyrics. As usual Bruce's lyrics are extremely well written and from the perspective of blue-collar characters dealing with serious situations. It's much more solemn than Born in the USA which was released two years later. I liked this album but it won't get many repeat listens as it really requires attention and the correct mindset.

Never heard of Joan Armatrading before. Good album with some funky vibes. I don't feel like writing a long review right now. Good album but doesn't reach the top.

The album is a mix of pop rock and typical 80's synth. Tina Turner's voice is excellent but I think many of the songs fell flat. I'm surprised on how many songs are covers. Some individual songs like "What's Love Got to Do with It" and "Private Dancer" are 5/5 but others like the cover song of 1984 originally by David Bowie pales by comparison. The album as a whole is not that great.

If someone asks me what synthpop is I'll show them this album. It's a glimpse to the 80's. The synth parts haven't aged that well in my opinion but Cyndi Lauper's singing style is timeless.

Never heard om Minutemen before and judging by the album cover I wouldn't have guessed it's punk. Good band. The album contains so many songs and all of them are under 2 minutes long. When the song Corona started I immediately recognized it from the TV series Jackass.

The Adverts is a band that I've never heard of and I've never listened to their songs. When I read that they were a 70's UK punk band I got excited. I got hooked on after the first song. They're really good and mu first impression is that they equal the Clash and are better than the Sex Pistols. Great production quality for being punk from this era.

Good rock album with some psychedelia and jazz elements. Never heard of Tim Buckley before and I was surprised that he's the father to Jeff Buckley.

Immediately recognized the exorcist theme in the beginning. The song evolved and I'm impressed on how good the composition is. Not really something I would listen to frequently.

Very heavy sounding psychedelic rock for being from 1968. I like it! The main riff in In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida sounds very similar to Cream's Sunshine of Your Love. You can sense the hard rock and almost proto heavy metal vibes but the album doesn't quite reach that heaviness. It's good heavy psychedelic rock.

Now we're talking! I've listened to a few songs here and there from Public Enemy and also the album "Fear of a Black Planet". This album is equally good. Public Enemy is top tier east coast hardcore hip hop. The production, the beats, the lyrics and the overall aggressiveness is hard to top. The album keeps the momentum all the way through and ends on a perfect high note with song Bring tha Noize featuring none other than the thrash metal band Anthrax.

I've listened to this album so many times throughout the years. Classic "modern" hip hop album (not really modern now as it's 22 years old). Eminem and Dr. Dre's production for this album is insanely good. There's so many awesome tracks. Eminem's flow, rapping and lyrics is hard to beat.

I didn't really care for this album. I tried to listen to it but found myself zoning out and doing other things instead of listening. The album couldn't keep my attention at all. I went back a little bit later to listen to it but the same thing happened.

I've only listened to a few songs by Kendrick Lamar and the album "Damn." and I always thought that he's OK but nothing more than that. To Pimp A Butterfly changed my view on Kendrick. The production is great, he got big name guests and the flow and lyrics are good. It doesn't quite reach to the top for me but it's a very good album.

Very jazzy and funky. Pleasant to listen to.

Very minimalistic production with simple but excellent beats. The rapping really gets the spotlight only to be amplified by the beats. Run and DMC are excellent and there's a reason why this album is so important for hip hop. I would however say that hip hop has evolved after RUN-D.M.C's debut album but this laid the groundwork for many others.

Very funky and nice to listen to. Doesn't quite reach P-Funk levels but I liked it. Not in the mood to write a lengthy review. If you're in the mood for funk this is a good place to start.

It's a little bit funny that this album comes up today just as I listened to Ozzy's new song Patient Number 9 featuring Jeff Beck. I only know Jeff Beck from The Yardbirds and I know he's a legendary guitarist. The big surprise with this album is Rod Stewart. I had no idea he played with Jeff Beck before being the solo superstar. The album as a whole is OK. Very typical late 60s rock. It didn't really catch my attention. Jeff Beck is however great at what he does.

I really like Massive Attack. This album is not on Mezzanine's level but it's close.

Very typical indie rock. The songs are so slow sometimes it's almost boring. I don't really care much for the spoken vocals on the tracks.

Alright 70s rock. A few good songs here and there but overall not that exciting.

I was waiting for Fleetwood Mac - Rumours to appear. There's so many classics that makes it easy to mistake it for a greatest hits album. It's understandable why this one shows up on all the lists for greatest albums of all time. The big surprise here is that it's their eleventh album. Most bands have their best album early in their career.

Extremely boring album. I didn't find one song that I liked and I really struggled to finish listening to this. Bonnie Raitt doesn't have a bad voice and the instrumentals are not bad but somehow all together it feels bland. It's pop country and not enjoyable

It's hard to live up to the previous album Nevermind and In Utero almost reaches the same level. It's very different but I like it. It's too bad that this is Nirvanas final album because it would be interesting to see which direction they would take the band towards after In Utero. In Utero is very crisp and raw in a positive way. It's so easy to filter out all the sounds and just focus on for example Dave Grohls drums or Kurt Cobains guitar. It's a 5/5 for me even though I like Nevermind better.

Not my favorite Bruce Springsteen album but easily in the top 3. Bruce is excellent as always and the E-street band delivers.

This is an album I've listened to before. Ignoring all controversy surrounding Brian and just rating the album I would give it 4/5. The NIN influences are obvious as Trent Reznor produced several songs on the album. Some songs are great but there's a few that are just ok and keeping the score from reaching 5/5.

Heavy fuzz sound and almost sounds like a mix between stoner rock and heavy metal. Very proto-metal as it doesn't have the characteristic Black Sabbath early heavy metal sound but it's close. I found the quality of the recording to be lacking but that could be because I couldn't find the whole album on a streaming service. Maybe if I find it on vinyl it sounds better.

Never heard of Fela Kuti before but I know of Ginger Baker from Cream. This album is much like Jazz but somewhat different. It starts very strong with the song "Let's start" and sticks with it through the album. This is probably something I would pick up at the record store if I see it.

Impressive beats and production. What really drags down the album is Kanye West. I never really liked his style of rapping and I find Kanye uneven. Sometimes he's great but other times I think there's so many better rappers than Kanye and that's even when ignoring his personality. I think I'm sticking to other hip-hop artists instead of Kanye as I've never found anything he made that's interesting.

I suddenly got an urge to watch John Wayne movies and read Lucky Luke. This is peak wild west music only behind Ennio Morricone. Is it something I would listen to again? Maybe. It's a very fun album to listen to.

The first album from Oasis. I've got to say that the second one, (What's the story) Morning Glory, is a lot better. There's a few good songs on this album such as Live Forever and Supersonic but overall every song just blends together and there's not really anything that sticks out.

What a great album. I haven't heard a bad album from A Tribe Called Quest. Every song is good and my favorite song "Scenario" they've saved for last. Give it a listen!

Oh I've listened to this album so many times. It starts so strong with Back in the USSR. My favorite The Beatles song While my guitar gently weeps is on this album. The song Helter Skelter also shows a heavier side of The Beatles.

Strong start and enjoyable album until it gets a little bit boring halfway through. Overall it's an OK album. It's very 80s.

Punk Rock but not for my taste unfortunately.

I thought this album was a little boring and the songs blended together and there's to little distinction between them.

I've never heard of Shack before but they got some catchy songs but not my cup of tea. I don't think I will go back and listen to this album again. Hms Fable still gets 3/5 from me as I can see the appeal.

My experience in listening to Nico comes from Velvet Underground. She's somewhat shoehorned in on Velvet Undergrounds first album. I'm glad when I read that Velvet Underground wrote most of the music to this album and it shows. The problem is that I find it all a little bit boring. The instrumentals are interesting and Nicos singing is OK. It just needs a little bit more Velvet Underground.

The intro with the PlayStation start up sound got me excited for the album! When the first song started the excitement disappeared. Typical radio friendly pop R&B. Some songs later on were actually kinda good but overall I don't see why this is on the list of 1001 albums.

I don't think this album belongs to the list of 1001 you must hear before you die. It got some Kate Bush-esque songs and is overall art pop/rock but doesn't bring anything interesting. The vocal style is shifting from good to annoying. I could barely make out the words but that is usually not a problem. Very forgettable in my opinion.

My experience with Talking Heads is a few singles here and there and I haven't listened to any of their albums. It's not a big surprise it sounds very much like the Talking Heads songs I've listened to before. I quite enjoy this album and would recommend it if you've ever listened to any of their songs before and liked it. Is it a great album? No but enjoyable nonetheless

I want to give this album a 2 but I really can't as it's not a bad album. It's just not for me. The singing beautifully comes togheter in harmony on this album and they're so talented. I'm glad that I listened to this album but it's not something I would listen to again.
