Bob Dylan
5/5
...and you say, "What does this mean?" and he screams back, "You're a cow!
Give me some milk or else go home"
The meaning of these songs are mostly beyond me but the words are always beautiful.

Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
2/5
Als je hem aanzet en iets gaat doen is het alleen maar soms heel kut, meestal best oké en heel soms best vet
Lorde
3/5
Her voice is nice and the production is cool but gets a bit dull on an active listen. Doesn't really have many outstanding moments.
Works nice as background music and I can imagine this is an album you could get more into when getting to know it better.
Talking Heads
4/5
Love the sound and general weirdness of it. For a 5 star rating it would've needed a few more outstanding songs like Psycho Killer.
R.E.M.
3/5
Like the general REM sound and its cool to hear their debut. For me this album stays a bit flat and on the background.
The Cars
3/5
The production is cool and the instrumentals are tight but it s just too poppy for me a
Yes
2/5
The first song was very promising. High energy mix of Deep Purple and the Eagles. After that the acoustic guitar part got me out of it and I didn't manage to really get back into the album. Was waiting for it to be over through the entire listen.
Lana Del Rey
3/5
Decent listen. Default Lana album I guess?
Radiohead
5/5
Has some of my favourite Radiohead songs and is just great as an album. It stays interesting throughout the entire album with a huge variety in sounds.
Radiohead
3/5
It has a few classics but as an album it doesn't hold keep my attention the whole way through.
3.5/5
Sisters Of Mercy
3/5
Pleasant surprise. Feels like the Cure on steroids.
Not exactly my genre but a nice listen nonetheless
Tim Buckley
2/5
The band die great but the vocals of Buckley made me want to turn the album of many times. Felt like a parody at times. Lyrically it also felt very one dimensional. At least he gave us Jeff!
Brian Eno
3/5
Liked it, didn't love it
The Smiths
4/5
Love it, only downside is that it tends to move to the background of your attention real fast
Björk
3/5
It has some cool stuff but sometimes a bit too challenging. Feels like an acquired taste I couldn't acquire in a day
Manic Street Preachers
2/5
Meh
Buck Owens
2/5
Didn't stand out to me. Streets of Laredo had me listen to Johnny Cash for the first time in a while which was nice :)
My Bloody Valentine
2/5
On the first listen I thought the car radio was broken and had to skip. On the earbuds it was okay I gues but I remember very little of it
Beck
2/5
Autumn is starting to kick in, I'm a bit cold and a bit hungover. This album does a great job amplifying these feelings. It's decent but not outstanding
Judas Priest
3/5
Fun refresher
Eminem
4/5
Nice.
Gil Scott-Heron
4/5
Lot's of Fender Rhodes is always a win
Destiny's Child
3/5
First couple of songs are absolute bangers. Kinda loses its edge after that
The Band
5/5
Love this album. Especially the layering in both the instrumentals and the vocals create an amazing sound!
The Stooges
3/5
Good energy. Sometimes a bit too fuzzy
Metallica
2/5
Not that good
Foo Fighters
3/5
Feels like their practice album. The general FF sound is there but without the strong riffs on the later albums. Still a nice background album
Pixies
2/5
Not much too say about this one, just didn't like it all that much :)
The Velvet Underground
4/5
One of those albums I knew to be iconic but never got to. Nice to finally give it a listen and I really liked it. The melancholic voice of Nico really adds to the whole thing with Lou Reed just completing the 'coolness' of the whole affair
Sister Sledge
4/5
Nile Rodgers!
The Beach Boys
3/5
Has some nice vibes
The Roots
3/5
Bit over the place at times but great energy and original ideas. The flow of individual songs is good, flow of the album a bit off sometimes
Bob Dylan
5/5
Beautifull storytelling and mood building. Not my favourite Dylan but it's up there.
Stan Getz
3/5
A bit too smooth
Buffalo Springfield
4/5
Dont know how I missed these guys until now. Great sound!
Nirvana
3/5
It's a cool album and it brings some nostalgic feelings
4/5
Britpop at its finest
Dennis Wilson
3/5
At first I thought I liked it but then it became a bit of a chore to finish the album.
David Bowie
3/5
Never listened to this one before. It feels like a nice template for a Bowie album. No huge highs, no huge lows, just the nice Bowie sound :)
Femi Kuti
4/5
Made my day!
Genesis
2/5
Realy not was I was expecting based on my knowledge of Genesis. Didnt enjoy it too much
Mike Ladd
3/5
Has cool Parys. Feel like it could get better on another listen, which I didn't have time for today. Will revisit this album
Public Enemy
3/5
Hype energy, get's you nicely riled up as I guess they intended. Too much 'over the place' to enjoy a full album listen but has many cool parts
ZZ Top
3/5
Expected a boring wait between hits but it was actually quite a steady album.
The White Stripes
3/5
Always been a fan of the old White Stripes songs but never really got to this album specifically. It captures the sound nicely but I feel like they fledged the concept out a bit better/further on the next albums
The Auteurs
3/5
Nice vibe, didn't leave a huge impression.
Afrika Bambaataa
2/5
Can appreciate the influence these guys had but musically it feels to much like an early draft too really enjoy a full listen.
Also I really want hiphop to use more real drums so I'm a bit mad at these 808 pioneers :')
Slipknot
2/5
Not as terrible as expected, still pretty terrible
Queens of the Stone Age
3/5
Fan of QOTSA but I never actually got to their pre-"songs for the deaf" albums. It's cool, a raw interpretation of their sound. Personally prefer the later albums which are a bit less raw.
Pulp
3/5
Wasn't a chore but don't think I'll listen to it again.
David Holmes
3/5
Like the breakbeat/triphop stuff some of it's a bit to 'uneasy' for a casual listen during work. Might work better for a late night booze infused listen.
The spotify radio that came on after this was perfect
fIREHOSE
2/5
Not sure about this one. Had some high hopes after the first song but the album went into way too many directions for my taste.
Steve Earle
2/5
Meh.
Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
4/5
Harmonies harmonies harmonies. Can't find much wrong with this album so it's definetly a high 4! Saving the precious five stars but this comes close
3/5
A bit better than the last Yes album we had (the Yes Album). That one started decent and went south, this one starts terrible and becomes decent. Still not my cup o' tea though.
The Rolling Stones
4/5
Classic. Can't You Hear Me Knocking has always been a personal favourite!
Tom Waits
3/5
Cool album but a bit hard on the ear after a while. I prefer the somewhat more 'friendly' Tom Waits music
Goldie
3/5
Nice surprise. Never know what to expect with these kind of albums but I enjoyed the drum & bass. Made for a nice workday.
John Coltrane
3/5
Enjoy the overall vibe, the improvisation and the mad drums. I typically prefer a bit more of an underlying structure.
The Mars Volta
3/5
Sounds decent but seems very overrated. Top review gave me a chuckle
Franz Ferdinand
4/5
Huge nostalgia. Prime indie rock for me
Arctic Monkeys
5/5
This album is right there at the start of my concious musical discovery. Still great today. Has the early raw energy of the band and at the same time sets a mood like only Alex Turner can in songs like Riot Van.
Brian Eno
3/5
Better than the last Enon album we got. Has some talking heads vibes at times. At the same time I really had to force myself to actively listen to this as it tends to slide of to the background real fast
My Bloody Valentine
3/5
Nice. Feels a lot better than the last MBV album we had, less 'white noise'.
Pet Shop Boys
3/5
Pet Shop Boys always get me in a good mood. Did conclude that they are mostly a 'greatest hits' band for me.
Daft Punk
3/5
Never really go into this one, I get why now. All the elements and sounds are there and many of these songs get remixed into perfection later in their carreer on Alive.
But at this stage.. hard to enjoy, bar a few exceptions
The Cardigans
4/5
Pleasant surprise. Kept me interested throughout most of the album for a couple of listens :)
The Divine Comedy
3/5
It's a decent listen. They set a nice mood but its a tad overdramatic at times. The lyrics are also a bit hit and miss.
Good, not great
Cream
4/5
Great guitar tone, some absolute classics and an overal nice 60s vibe
Le Tigre
4/5
That was a fun experience :)
The Temptations
4/5
Great Motown album
Emerson, Lake & Palmer
3/5
It definetly has its moments but it fluctuates a bit much.
Killing Joke
3/5
Like it! It's quite straightforward and took a couple of listens to land. Nice punk vibes. Definetly mad about stuff now, not sure what yet.
Lauryn Hill
3/5
Very much a product of its time, but it aged well. I like most of the songs.
The skits could have been left out, I feel like the message was clear without them explaining.
3/5
Opens really strong and has some great songs. Just a few too many dull moments for it too be 4 stars. Great listen though!
Bad Company
2/5
A bit bland..
Beyoncé
2/5
Not a fan. Can't feel any heart in the music and lacks cohesion. Feels like 90 minutes of trying to sound badass
My Bloody Valentine
2/5
The overal melancholy is appealing but it's just to noisy
The Yardbirds
3/5
Upbeat joyous album. Nothing groundshaking but a nice listen
Elvis Costello & The Attractions
4/5
Elvis Costello has a great overal sound. Not many songs stand out too much but as a whole it was a really enjoyable album
Lou Reed
4/5
Amazing album
Tom Waits
3/5
Musically I really like it. It succeeds in setting the jazz club vibe but sometimes the audience is a bit too present.
ABBA
4/5
Wonderful! Had to spin it a few times for the songs to land, I'm not used to Abba beyond the hits. Much less upbeat and much more melancholy than what I'm used to from them. Works like a charm
Frank Ocean
5/5
Lots of love for this album. It's not something you can listen to at any moment, it requires a certain mood. When that mood is there it's absolute gold.
The Andre 3000 verse it the cherry on top
The Jam
3/5
Decent album but kinda kept forgetting that I was listening to it.
Van Halen
4/5
Tight, clean, energetic. Nice album :)
Justice
4/5
Amazing gritty sound. Lacks a bit of 'breathing room'. Pretty much two songs that aren't driven by the heavily distorted bass sound. D.A.N.C.E. is an absolute banger but I'm unsure if it belongs on this album.
Still very cool though, could've gone 5 stars with a bit more room.
Bob Dylan
3/5
Has some outstanding tracks but as an album it doesn't do much for me
Various Artists
4/5
As good as you can go with a christmas album
Pink Floyd
5/5
Iconic. The mood, the storytelling, the recurring musical themes and the great music makes it an all time classic
Simon & Garfunkel
4/5
Very soothing
Jimi Hendrix
4/5
Great album. Shows of his genius quite well :)
The Teardrop Explodes
3/5
Cool sound, very 80s. Went on for a bit too long
Miles Davis
3/5
Nice album, gets that jazz face going. Love the bass part on In a Silent way. Drags on a bit long for my taste
Nas
4/5
Classic album. Captures that old school sound verry well. Nas has a great flow
Mj Cole
1/5
Lyrically and musically very uninspiring. Could've gotten 2 stars if it would've ended a few songs sooner.
Willie Colón & Rubén Blades
2/5
I'm not well versed with the genre enough to say if it's actually generic but it feels generic too me. The sample sources were a fun surprise tough!
Screaming Trees
3/5
Decent listen. Probably won't remember much of this in a day.
Kacey Musgraves
2/5
Just doesn't do it for me. Lyrically it doesn't reach me and musically I find it fairly bland.
Alice In Chains
3/5
Very typical grunge album. Always feels like just a single emotion exists with this music which makes it a bit flat but it's nice for a few songs.
Sepultura
2/5
It has some okay bits but it's mainly angry white men screaming
Iggy Pop
4/5
Great album
Dion
3/5
A bit whiney at times but still a decent listen.
Gets a bonus point for reminding me of the great 'Only You Know' rendition by the Arctic Monkeys
Wilco
2/5
It has plenty of good songs but it's way too long and lacks any form of cohesion. Does not feel like an album too me
Neu!
3/5
Bit of an odd one. Very decent background album
Ice Cube
3/5
Has the nice old school vibe but I'm not the biggest fan of Ice Cubes flow
Wild Beasts
3/5
I used to be a big fan of the modern British Indie rock. Has elements from that that I really enjoy. The singer kinda ruins it for me with his moany falsetto
Siouxsie And The Banshees
3/5
Did not know this. Has a cool vibe. Spellbound was my favourite but was also a bit of an odd one out.
3.5
GZA
4/5
Wicked.
Aphex Twin
2/5
Has some cool elements but as an entire album it felt like a bit of a chore.
Tim Buckley
2/5
While it's moer palettable then 'Greetings from LA' the gist of it is the same. It has some decent sounds but also a lot of whiney annoying parts.
Johnny Cash
5/5
It took Johnny Cash an entire life and meeting Rick Rubin to find his best form. The result is stunning. The voice, the production, the harmonies, the songs that are picked. Absolute masterpiece
Santana
3/5
Has a nice vibe. Nothing extraordinairy
Bob Dylan
5/5
Probably my favourite Dylan album
B.B. King
3/5
Love B.B. King but those albums always sound exactly the same.
Pet Shop Boys
3/5
Nice sound but nothing special.
Janelle Monáe
3/5
Opens up very funky but it kinda dips later on. Overal a decent album but won't listen to it as a whole again.
OutKast
3/5
The hits are great and Andre 3000 has an amazing style and flow. As an album it was a bit much tough. A bit too long, a bit too much energy, a bit too incosistent I guess
The Pogues
4/5
Love it!
Love
3/5
Had heard the opener a few times before which is also the highlight. The rest is okay but does not stand out.
Miles Davis
3/5
Cool album, has nice energy. Can be a bit intense at times.
Wilco
3/5
Way better than the last Wilco album we had. Much more coherent. Jesus Etc. is a very good song, the rest is not too memorable.
Taylor Swift
3/5
Better than expected. Well produced, nice vibes. Can't identify with the all the teen heartbreak themes though
Primal Scream
3/5
Love the two songs I allready knew (Movin' on Up and Loaded). The rest is decent but not too memorable
The Flaming Lips
4/5
Really like this! Very genuine and heartfelt. Right up my alley
Sade
4/5
Nice surprise. I had heard of Sade but never got into it. Well written, very smooth songs.
Beastie Boys
2/5
I can appreciate the existence of the Beastie Boys but an entire album is a bit much
Black Sabbath
3/5
Meh
Kendrick Lamar
4/5
One of my favourite rappers. This is one of his better albums. Has a few lows but overal an amazing piece of work
Jimi Hendrix
4/5
Amazing album
The Dictators
3/5
More fun then expected!
Louis Prima
2/5
Not my thing
Simon & Garfunkel
4/5
Wasn't familiar with the existence of this album. Came as a really nice surprise. Exactly what I hope to get from a Simon & Garfunkel record. Bit short but that's probably why it doesn't have any dull moments.
U2
4/5
Just a very decent album with some nice highlights
Stevie Wonder
4/5
<3
Malcolm McLaren
2/5
Was probably very influential/groundbreaking at the time but it's not for me...
Fred Neil
2/5
Very mediocre
Fugees
4/5
Could have gone without the skits but has some great flows
The Velvet Underground
4/5
Air
4/5
Classic. Nice album to return to every once in a while
Kraftwerk
2/5
Autobahn is fun for a while, not for 22 minutes. Not much else on this album
2/5
Way too experimental for me but has some nice moment every once in a while
T. Rex
3/5
Very forgetable. Gets an extra star for Life's A Gas
Duran Duran
4/5
Nice album! Never had a proper introduction to Duran Duran.
Solid all the way through.
3.5/5
Calexico
3/5
Nice surprise. Very diverse and has some original sounds.
Cornershop
3/5
Find it hard to form an opinion on this. But I think I kinda like it?
Blur
3/5
I like it. The overly Britishness of Blur just appeals to me I guess.
Richard Thompson
3/5
I liked it but it also didn't leave an impression lasting more than a day. Onto the 3 star pile it goes!
Burning Spear
4/5
Very nice album. Feels like textbook reggae but in a good way.
Jane's Addiction
2/5
Did not know about these guys. Could have easily carried on that way
Jeff Buckley
4/5
Great album, especially Lilac Wine and Corpus Christi Carol hit home for me
Prefab Sprout
3/5
Took me a few listens to appreciate it. Sounds a bit like the Style Council, kinda nice
Ryan Adams
3/5
I can appreciate Ryan Adams. Nothing all too special but a very decent folk album
The Waterboys
4/5
Solid
Guns N' Roses
3/5
Fun but not mind blowing
Minutemen
2/5
It has some interesting bits but overall its way too noisy and way too long.
Germs
1/5
I guess this would be about the message and not the musical ideas. If that's the case it would've helped the cause to make the lyrics audible.
Elvis Presley
4/5
Something very soothing about these old, friendly records. Nothing groundbreaking is happening (at least not from our 2023 point of view) but it's just very comfortable to listen too. Like and old comfy sweater. Great stuff.
Jimi Hendrix
4/5
Great iconic album which overflows with energy. Feels a bit more like a long live/jam session than an album tough.
Sonic Youth
2/5
Not my cup of tea. Bit too noisy
The Sonics
4/5
Very simple in both song and execution but they somehow manage to transfer the energy and excitement making it a great album in my book.
Sex Pistols
3/5
Pretty cool
Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark
4/5
Very 80s, very melancholy, very relaxing. A tad much of the same but a nice album nonetheless
Count Basie & His Orchestra
5/5
Awesome.
Lupe Fiasco
3/5
Pleasanlty surprised. Tacky album cover lowered my expectations quite a bit but the guy has a pretty nice flow.
Beatles
4/5
Early Beatles, still relatively simple pop songs but allready great in execution.
Bruce Springsteen
3/5
Feels like a bit of a filler Springsteen album
Talvin Singh
1/5
Terrible fever dream
Solomon Burke
4/5
Very soulful
Bobby Womack
3/5
Has some high hopes for this because of what I know of Bobby Somack. All the ingredients are there but for some reason it doesn't do it for me. Can't lay a finger on why.
Arrested Development
3/5
Instrumentally it has some cool stuff but the vocals just sound kinda meh.
Simple Minds
4/5
Nice. Very 80s, not extremely memorable but still solid. Could listen to this again sometime.
Hole
2/5
Meh. So angry..
Deep Purple
2/5
I like Deep Purple and I like what they do here. But as an album it's just way too much. Had a hard time getting through it.
Harry Nilsson
3/5
Ken Leeeeee! Tulibu dibu douchuuuuuuu!
Circle Jerks
1/5
I guess punk is about the message so I read along with some of the lyrics. No substance was found there. Musically it's also very lazy.
Punk can be great but can also be an easy excuse for bad musicians too record bad music.
Roxy Music
2/5
Doesn't quite resonate with me
Earth, Wind & Fire
4/5
Magical
George Michael
3/5
Starts of strong but becomes a bit dull after a while
Queen
4/5
Great album, really shows the brilliance of Queen. Tough every song shows the creativity there are some bits which are a bit harder to enjoy (looking at you prophets song)
Michael Kiwanuka
4/5
Great album, extremely soulful!
Steely Dan
4/5
Astounding show of musicianship. Production wise it's absolutely flawless. As an album I've heard more enjoyable Steely Dan stuff.
Echo And The Bunnymen
3/5
Think it sounds pretty good but extremely forgetable
Alice Cooper
3/5
Was more interesting than imagined. Thougth it would be more hard rock. Actually some quite decent songs.
OutKast
3/5
Very hard to rate as it's 2 complete albums and it's so so long.
All in all I don't think it works as an album for me due to it's length but it does have many great moments
Sonic Youth
2/5
As I've said on the last Sonic Youth album: Not my cup of tea. Bit too noisy
Arcade Fire
5/5
One of my all time favourites. One of those albums which I have to listen to as an album. Broad, wide open instrumentation, vulnerable voice, great melodies. Amazin album.
Cat Stevens
4/5
Great folk album!
Stan Getz
4/5
Extreme calmness. I like it. Can get a tad bit repetetive on an active listen but a great album nonetheless.
Peter Frampton
3/5
Nice. Was not very familiar with the guy. Good stage performance, some nice hits :)
The Prodigy
3/5
Definitly a vibe. Makes me want to punch stuff in a good way. Can have this on in the background for hours when focussed on something else. Bit much for an active listen.
Hole
3/5
Lot less angry then the last Hole album. Liked this more.
Elvis Costello & The Attractions
3/5
"The Beat" is a favorite of mine.
For the rest of the album... I guess it's good but it doesn't quite stick
Jefferson Airplane
4/5
Get's me nostalgic to a time I've never experienced.
Boston
4/5
High octane rock & roll. Simple yet effective.
Ramones
3/5
Its ok
Elvis Costello
3/5
See previous Costello reviews.
The The
3/5
Not sure where to categorize this in my head. It's ok I guess
Van Morrison
3/5
On the one hand I really like the dreamy atmosphere van Morrison creates. Very unique sound. As a an album it becomes a bit boring
Queen
4/5
Very well balanced. The somewhat toned down May songs on side I are a nice counterbalance to the extravagant Freddie songs on side II. Makes for a great total package.
Blur
2/5
Has some cool songs but it's way too incosistent
Leonard Cohen
4/5
Was not familiar with this album. The uptempo beats combined with Cohens timbre create an amazing eery distopian vibe.
I'm ready to take Berlin.
Beastie Boys
3/5
A whole album of Beastie Boys is still a bit much but I enjoyed this one a lot more than Pauls Boutique
Creedence Clearwater Revival
3/5
The xx
4/5
Very unique band with a very unique sound. They set a great mood with very little. Also a bit of a nostalgia hit :)
Stereolab
4/5
I like it! Didn't know this. Early Arcade Fire vibes
Deerhunter
4/5
Starts a bit slow but amazing once you get into it. Songs like Helicopter and Revival are the type of songs I can get addicted to.
The Beau Brummels
2/5
Very volatile
Janis Joplin
3/5
Always tought I hated Janis Joplin. Enjoyed it a lot more than i thought. One album is enough though.
Black Sabbath
3/5
Surprisingly enjoyable!
Pavement
2/5
I don't get it.
John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers
3/5
Great on paper. Average in reality
Fairport Convention
2/5
Such low energy. Not in a good way. Usually into folk rock
Big Brother & The Holding Company
4/5
Janis Joplin is a bit of a loose canon which can become a bit much for me on here solo records. I feel like the band is keeping her at aim making this a much more pleasant experience
Nina Simone
4/5
She is amazing. Very enjoyable album. She has some better records tough.
Bill Evans Trio
3/5
I like the general vibe but it's a bit too much for me as an album.
As I'm typing this I realise I've listened to a lot of the songs twice (take1/take2) without realising this which might contribute to the fact it felt a bit montenous at times :')
Otis Redding
5/5
So much soul
The Only Ones
3/5
Could be worse but a bit boring.
"No Peace For The Wicked" could have been a Velvet Underground track
Pretenders
2/5
The singular hit on here was fun. The rest is very forgetable
Willie Nelson
3/5
American Recordings alpha-0.0.1
Pixies
3/5
Pixies are just not for me but Where Is My Mind is a banger
Motörhead
3/5
Requires a certain mood, took me a while to get through
The Mamas & The Papas
4/5
Very pleasant
The Rolling Stones
3/5
Not their most outstanding
Duke Ellington
4/5
If you would split this into 3 or 4 records I would probably rate each of them 5 stars.
The sheer length of it makes the full album feel like a bit of a chore
Jamiroquai
4/5
Funky
Paul McCartney
3/5
Good allround but lacks some outstanding songs.
Charles Mingus
5/5
Great piece of art
Supertramp
5/5
I'll never get bored of Supertramp.
The Flaming Lips
4/5
I love it. Quirky, dreamy. Feels like a modern classic.
Def Leppard
2/5
Uninspired
Thin Lizzy
4/5
Very solid album/performance
The Undertones
2/5
It does not spark annoyance, it doesn't spark much joy either.
Led Zeppelin
3/5
Very palletable. Not outstanding outside of the hits.
Neil Young
4/5
Lovely
Starts great, becomes a bit boring afterwards.
The Offspring
2/5
The songs I like from the offspring, I like because they came to me when I was 13. Most of these songs didn't not and I'm not 13 anymore.
Stevie Wonder
5/5
Looking at the length I was expecting some boring parts but there were none. Every song is musically great and exciting. "As" has to be one of the greatest love songs ever written.
It's a bit lengthy for a full active listen but I guess an album that could be split up into two 5 star albums deserves a 5 star rating!
Radiohead
5/5
Haunting, alienating, melancholy. Beautiful soundscapes wich keep you awake with complex rythms
Depeche Mode
3/5
Depeche mode has found a unique and amazing dark sound and mood but on this album they dont manage to keep it interesting enough for me to be blown away by it
John Grant
2/5
Has some good songs, reminds me of Rufus Wainwright at times. Becomes boring a bit too soon tough, the small fun interlude at the end is not enough counterweight.
Talking Heads
3/5
I like the general concept of the Talking Heads but the albums and songs do all seem to blend into one. The kind of band where a greatest hits album is probably enough
Missy Elliott
3/5
Has some nice flows here and there but won't listen to this again.
Sufjan Stevens
4/5
Lovely album. Really pulls you into a mood
The Verve
3/5
A decent listen but a bit too 'run of the mill' 90s brit pop.
The Dave Brubeck Quartet
4/5
Makes me want to listen on repeat
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
3/5
"Into My Arms" and "People Ain't No Good" have been longtime favourites of mine which gave me high hopes for the full album which I had never listened to.
Unfortunately it failed to grab me like those two songs for the rest of the album and it became a bit on the boring side.
The Soft Boys
3/5
Surprisingly interesting! high 3.
CHIC
4/5
Great album, amazing production.
I have been conditioned to expect a Chic album to be filled to the brim with hits which is not that true for this one.
Nick Drake
4/5
Dreamy
Fleetwood Mac
4/5
A great album and an absolute classic. These are those guys from TikTok right?
Beatles
5/5
Among my favourite Beatles albums, just like most other Beatles albums.
King Crimson
2/5
It has it's moments but it's just too much noodling
Steely Dan
4/5
It's so sophisticated. Doesn't grab you by the balls and makes you want to constantly listen to it but it is very pleasant and very impressive.
Eagles
3/5
Certified dad music. Solid but all a bit too much on the safe side
Bob Marley & The Wailers
4/5
Solid
Coldplay
3/5
Great sound but can become a bit of a drag after a while
Creedence Clearwater Revival
4/5
They keep it simple but they make it work
Radiohead
4/5
Lesser known Radiohead album for me. Love that I'm getting to know it. Eerie vibes, great blend of electronic music and instruments. A nice slow burner.
Eels
3/5
Exactly what you'd imagine an Eels record to sound like I guess. Nice.
Big Star
3/5
Nice, very 70s.
The Black Crowes
2/5
Sounds like a rock coverband on a local festival
Grateful Dead
3/5
Had some high hopes for this but turned out pretty mediocre. Friend of the Devil is an alltime favourite though!
Parliament
4/5
Sparks joy
Bruce Springsteen
5/5
Takes you to a different world. It has you believe you can overcome a life you've never experienced in the first place.
Fairport Convention
2/5
Starts out nice with Genesis Hall but becomes dull after a while. Very narrow in range
Hookworms
3/5
Weird one to be on the list. Feels very much like it's a 2010 album instead of a 2018 one. Might've been a fan had it existed and come to my attention at that time. For now it's just decent
The Verve
2/5
Listened to this two times now but it fails to leave any impression. I have no clue what the album sounds like
Amy Winehouse
5/5
Iconic <3
Leonard Cohen
4/5
Love Cohens voice on this combined with the dark ambience. The title track is absolutely stunning.
Beatles
4/5
Very high 4. Amazing album but in the grand scheme of Beatles there is stuff which is better as an album.
Tom Waits
2/5
Becomes too much of a concept with too little palletable music
Nirvana
4/5
Best way to enjoy Nirvana
The Kinks
3/5
Decent but forgetable
Sam Cooke
4/5
Amazing energy
Animal Collective
3/5
I like the mood it sets and it has some very cool parts. All in all it's just a tad too long.
Gary Numan
2/5
Gets on my nerves and feels a bit edgy
Ice T
2/5
Feels very one dimensional
R.E.M.
3/5
Nothing seems to stand out on this but it has a very soothing effect.
Metallica
3/5
Liked it. Orion was a nice surprise
Ali Farka Touré
4/5
Love this. Have grown a great appreciation for African/western blends like this
Nice surprise to have it in the list
Donald Fagen
4/5
Does the same for me as all other Steely Dan stuff
Raekwon
2/5
I like ghostface as a rapper, raekwon a bit less. Has some cool flows but as an album it doesn't do it for me
John Lennon
4/5
Lovely album
Sonic Youth
3/5
Teenage Riot is a cool song, after that it's mainly a lot of noise again as we've come to expect from Sonic Youth
Aretha Franklin
4/5
Amazing piece of soul
Astor Piazzolla
3/5
Very interesting album. Bit weird at times but I like the energy and emotions involved
Air
4/5
Air <3
Beach House
4/5
Very Indie, right up my alley!
Kendrick Lamar
5/5
Absolute landmark.
Quicksilver Messenger Service
2/5
Does some interesting stuff but gets a bit annoying after a while.
Curtis Mayfield
4/5
One of those artists of I'm very familiar with some songs but I could not put a face to. That didn't change today but it was a nice listen nonetheless
R.E.M.
4/5
I thought I knew this album very well, turns out there is a middle part I'd completely missed until today. It's exactly that middle part which degrades it to 4 stars for me.
Still a great album!
Elton John
3/5
Has some great songs but fails to impress me as an album
Gorillaz
3/5
Defintely among my favourite bands. This album has some great songs but also a lot of dull moments.
Gillian Welch
4/5
Nice intimate Americana
The Cure
2/5
I would not consider this pornography
The Youngbloods
3/5
Interesting album. Has good energy and some great bits musically. Also a bit all over the place
Fatboy Slim
4/5
Lots of fun. Definitly has some lesser moments but mostly sparks joy
Arcade Fire
5/5
Love this with all my heart. Thanks Will Butler for ruining Arcade Fire
Metallica
3/5
Has some absolute classics. Has some absolute shit.
Tom Tom Club
3/5
First impression was not good but comming back to it later (after a few beers, I must confess) I did find some really fun parts!
The Sabres Of Paradise
2/5
Having done one full playthrough and several attempts to listen to it again to form a proper review without the album making any lasting impression I must draw my conclusions..
Ray Charles
3/5
Covers many great songs. Sometimes awesome in execution, sometimes a bit draggy
Violent Femmes
3/5
Definitly has some fun parts. Gone Daddy Gone is a cool throwback to the Gnarls Barkley cover.
4/5
Great album
3/5
One the one hand it's terrible
One the other hand.. ROLLING ROLLING ROLLING
Neil Young & Crazy Horse
4/5
Neil Young albums are always great background music. Never outstanding but always sets a good mood.
4/5
Nice. A very refreshing authentic sound.
Hearing Thom Yorkes voice is always a nice surprise
Metallica
3/5
Palletable at best.

Refreshing but not great

Pretty okay :) Like the 90s vibe

I like it! No nonsense
The Go-Go's
2/5
Had to deduct a star for Skidmarks on my Heart
Portishead
4/5
That's pretty dope!

3/5
DJ Premier is a legend and delivers great beats in this. Guru has a cool flow but gets a bit boring after a while.
The Rolling Stones
4/5
Oke of their best
Adele
3/5
Great voice but a bit bland at times
Rocket From The Crypt
3/5
The packaging was terrible enough to make the contents seem fairly decent!
Jimmy Smith
4/5
Nice surprise. Had never heard of this
Suede
3/5
Like the vibe
The Who
4/5
Baba O Riley pulls you straight into it. Manages to keep a good level for a while but completly drops the ball on Getting In Tune and Going Mobile. Redeems itself on the last two tunes.
Great album, could have been a bit better
Van Morrison
5/5
Amazing record. Expected to like it. Loved it.
Aerosmith
3/5
My speakers smell like leather now..
David Bowie

Key album
Pink Floyd
5/5

3/5
It calmed me to the point I almost fell asleep

Sometimes has a bit of a Velvet Underground vibe. It's nice background music but that's pretty much it.
Aerosmith
3/5
Easy to listen to, easy to forget.
George Harrison
4/5
Has some amazing stuff but is also very lengthy causing the attention to slip at times
Talking Heads
4/5
Definetly one of the better Talking Heads records!
Travis
2/5
It might not be bad.. but it's definetly not good.
Mudhoney
3/5
On a music festival with the sun out and 5 beers down this could be great.
Sitting behind my desk with a cup of tea not so much.
Jane Weaver
4/5
Nice vibe. Cool explosive drums with the singing drifting over hauntingly.
Dire Straits
4/5
Amazing album. Do tend to fall asleep around "Why Worry?"
4/5
Nice.
Joanna Newsom
3/5
It has interesting elements but it's a bit a manic for me
The Clash
4/5
More diverse than i'd expected
Moby
3/5
Has some really cool parts but also has a few too many boring tracks to really appreciate it as an album.
Cyndi Lauper
3/5
Cool haircut.
Amy Winehouse
5/5
Perfect.
R.E.M.
3/5
As always with R.E.M. it manages to be boring and interesting at the same time
Heaven 17
2/5
Gets annoying quite quickly
Iron Maiden
3/5
It didn't anoy me at any moment. Don't recall much more. Can imagine this can grow on you.
The Who
3/5
Nice listen, nothing exceptional
Prince
4/5
Very versatile, at times very funky
George Jones
2/5
Palettable but very mediocre
Badly Drawn Boy
4/5
Nice, calm, indie folkish
Baaba Maal
3/5
I love blends of west african music with western pop music and for that I can appreciate this. However, this being (to my ears) purely African music kept it a bit boring for me.
Was nice background music for reading a book but won't listen to this again.
U2
3/5
Decent but a bit boring
The War On Drugs
4/5
Love this album, had it in the standard rotation for years. Great music to dream off to. I do often tend to zone out as the album progresses.
Barry Adamson
1/5
Sheit
Soundgarden
4/5
Nice album!
Fiona Apple
3/5
It's a nice sound and it's good songwriting but it doesn't quite connect with me for some reason.
Al Green
4/5
Such soul, much lovely.
The Last Shadow Puppets
5/5
One of my all time favourites. Love every aspect of this album and it greatly increases my Alex Turner man crush
Bob Dylan
5/5
...and you say, "What does this mean?" and he screams back, "You're a cow!
Give me some milk or else go home"
The meaning of these songs are mostly beyond me but the words are always beautiful.

2/5
Not my jam
Nanci Griffith
3/5
Good music, not breathtaking.

4/5

Has it's moments but overall it's just a tad dull.
Public Image Ltd.
1/5
Horrendous

3/5
Feel like it's good music but it doesn't quite speak to me.

2/5
Meh..
FKA twigs
2/5
I'm not sure if it's ethical to keep a woman on the edge of orgasm for the recording of an entire album but now we know what it sounds like.
Bill Callahan
1/5
Exceptionally boring
Nick Drake
3/5
I appreciate the cult status but Nick Drake never really did it for me. Perhaps it's a bit too eerie for me
Meat Loaf
4/5
What did people do at wedding parties before 1977?
Weather Report
3/5
Cool but not mindblowing
Ananda Shankar
2/5
For the folks who want to get in touch with their spiritual selves but also want to jamn out to light my fire.

Sigur Rós
5/5
<3

4/5
All these comment about it being a shame that Kanye is crazy now. As if he's ever not been crazy.
