Ella Fitzgerald
3/5
This was a lovely album to listen to on a Monday morning... But then I ran out of morning.

Sister Sledge
5/5
This album is funky, it swings. It makes me want to sing and dance. The vocals are incredible and the instruments are clear and good. This is music.

Eminem
2/5
One or two Eminem songs are nice, but I get real tired of his flow and voice and skits at the end of the album

Bob Dylan
3/5
This album starts with exactly that annoying voice that makes me think of Bob Dylan as a bit. Having said that, due to circumstances I was extremely in the mood for sad and annoying which made me see a bit of value in Uncle Bob and that earns this album a passing grade.

Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
2/5
Eerste 5 nummers: Alsof iemand een muziekwinkel van de trap gooit
Moonlight on Vermont best leuk
Klinkt een beetje als pre-alpha-Zappa
geen fan, maar ook niet heel erg om het een keer gehoord te hebben
Lorde
3/5
Luistert lekker weg, beetje poppy wel. Ken Liability van een serie (Euphoria), wel mooi liedje. Verder niet echt iets wat is blijven hangen, hou wel van Lorde's stem
Talking Heads
3/5
First listen: every song feels nice, no boring parts. gonna listen again with a bit more attention.
second listen: A bit simple, maybe a tad boring after all. Still a pleasent listen.
R.E.M.
4/5
Loved this one. Very upbeat, interesting all the way through. Liked the background vocals.
The Cars
2/5
Some songs sounded like easy guitar hero songs. Bit of a strange over-use of stereo. Not bad, but also not something I will play again.
Yes
3/5
Listened while running. Got lost in some instrumental parts (in a good way). Some other parts sounded like they were supposed to be musical songs.
Lana Del Rey
1/5
Do not like lana's singing style, like every word takes a tremendous effort to pronounce. The whole album is a blur of similar sounding songs. Hard to finish this album.
Radiohead
5/5
Close to perfect
Radiohead
3/5
Sounds a bit like a soundtrack for a movie or a game. Not too bad, but also not very remarkable.
Sisters Of Mercy
4/5
This album generated a lot of hype in me. Just flows really nice
Tim Buckley
3/5
Quite liked this one. Energetic, swinging.
Brian Eno
2/5
Bunch of annoying songs. Dead finks don't think is somewhat nice, but then it ends in a bunch of noise
The Smiths
3/5
Not a bad listen, also not very memorable
Björk
2/5
Interesting and boring at the same time. Mostly boring
Manic Street Preachers
3/5
This was not bad, but it mist some spice to be actually good. Some songs grew on me during 2nd listen
Buck Owens
2/5
I'm not against country per se. It is just not super... Good. Act naturally was nice
My Bloody Valentine
2/5
During the 4th song I wondered if the first song ended already. Sounds a bit like comforting noise
Beck
3/5
Tad slow but interesting album that gets better near the end
Judas Priest
3/5
Some heavy metal. Not great, not terrible.
Eminem
2/5
One or two Eminem songs are nice, but I get real tired of his flow and voice and skits at the end of the album
Gil Scott-Heron
4/5
Loved it, the voice, the music, the variety.
Destiny's Child
3/5
Album starts very strong, Survivor is a banger. The ending is a bit boring
The Band
4/5
This was good
The Stooges
3/5
The songs are good, but the recording/mix is very muddy. Heard 1 version of the David Bowie mix which I preferred a lot more
Metallica
2/5
I like One Metallica song, but afterhalf an album I get real tired of it. Feels so forced.
Foo Fighters
3/5
This was a nice Foo fighters album. Nothing exceptional, but also nothing bad.
Pixies
2/5
Some nice songs, but also some terrible songs
The Velvet Underground
4/5
Nice variety of songs and didn't want to skip anything.
Sister Sledge
5/5
This album is funky, it swings. It makes me want to sing and dance. The vocals are incredible and the instruments are clear and good. This is music.
The Beach Boys
3/5
OK, but not remarkable
The Roots
3/5
It's a vibe, but has some out of place songs like the last one. The Seed 2.0 is insanely good tho.
Bob Dylan
2/5
I don't like the way Dylan sings, it is tiring. I also don't really love the music, like boring blues. Maybe I'll love another Dylan album
Stan Getz
3/5
Some nice tunes. But I didn't really notice we already listened to the album 5 times. Not sure if that is a good or a bad thing.
Buffalo Springfield
4/5
Nice album, not super remarkable but feels good all the way through

This is a bit too messy for me

Too hard for me to enjoy

4/5
Did not listen to this queens of the stone age album before, it was a bit more raw, but I liked it.
Pulp
3/5
Some interesting but also quite some boring parts
David Holmes
4/5
I love this: it relaxes me, doesn't bore and the James bond theme cover fills me with nostalgia.
fIREHOSE
3/5
This was close to being 4 stars, loved some of the instruments but had some boring parts.
Steve Earle
1/5
Boring, annoying country voice. Really struggled to get through this one. Luckily it was fairly short.
Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
4/5
I like this album a lot. Some songs are a bit boring, but they get saved by some interesting guitar.
3/5
Some parts were to weird/crazy, some parts were excellent, most parts were OK. Was considering 2,3 or 4 stars during the listen, but 3 seems the most appropriate.
The Rolling Stones
4/5
I expected this album to go into 3 star rock hell, but it was a bit more interesting than that!
Tom Waits
3/5
Am a bit conflicted about this one. It is unique and awesome, but also a bit gimmicky and I get tired of it at the End of the whole album.
Goldie
4/5
This felt like a trip, a good one
John Coltrane
5/5
My only complaint is that is stops after only half an hour
The Mars Volta
3/5
Mostly cool sounds with some noise inbetween
Franz Ferdinand
4/5
Just a good, upbeat rock album.
Arctic Monkeys
5/5
The songs are fantastic, the pacing is good, it feels like a whole album. I could listen to this album any time of the day.
Brian Eno
2/5
A bit to horing
My Bloody Valentine
4/5
I could enjoy this way more than the last mbv album we had. Not sure if it is better or if I was in a better mood for it
Pet Shop Boys
3/5
Easy to listen
Daft Punk
3/5
This is not my favourite daft punk album, but it has some bangers
The Cardigans
3/5
This was okay, but some songs were kinda annoying after a few listens
The Divine Comedy
2/5
I loved some of the instrumental parts but a lot of parts were a bit... cheesy?
Cream
3/5
I really love some songs on this album, but there are also some songs where I can't really decide if I like them or if they are annoying.
Le Tigre
3/5
This sits somwhere between annoying unique and fun unique and I am not quite sure on which side.
The Temptations
4/5
First half of the album is amazing, second half has some boring songs. Love it overall.
Emerson, Lake & Palmer
4/5
There are a few moments where it is a bit too much but overall this is very good
Killing Joke
2/5
Don't remember a lot from yesterday, that's a bad sign
Lauryn Hill
2/5
Did not really feel this album, not very exciting and I don't really feel the gospelly vocals.
2/5
Sad without excitement
Bad Company
4/5
Very enjoyable from start to finish
Beyoncé
3/5
Strong album in its own way, but wouldn't listen to it a lot.
My Bloody Valentine
3/5
The Yardbirds
4/5
Elvis Costello & The Attractions
2/5
To many mediocre and annoying songs to enjoy
Lou Reed
4/5
First half is amazing, second half could be a bit better
Tom Waits
2/5
I like the unique style, but the audience is distracting and after half an album it's been enough
ABBA
1/5
I don't get ABBA's appeal and I'd be glad if I never heard it again, it bores me out of my mind. I'll give this album half a star for not being the 5 hits that you always hear and a second half because I am probably underappreciating something here.
Frank Ocean
3/5
I like the chill vibes but it might be a bit too chill and lacks some excitement.
The Jam
3/5
Unimpressive but not bad.
Van Halen
4/5
This is not my favourite van halen album, although eruption holds a special place in my heart. The guitars sound so Van Halen it sometimes starts to sound a bit like a parody. I love it
Justice
4/5
Energetic, fun, hypes me up. Not a song I want to skip
Bob Dylan
2/5
Less bad than the last Bob Dylan album (blonde on blonde) but still so boring. Maybe if we just keep the harmonica parts it would be enjoyable.
Various Artists
2/5
As far as Christmas albums go this wasn't terrible
Pink Floyd
4/5
It is a good album, but a bit lengthy at times. I find myself longing for specific songs that I like particularly.
Simon & Garfunkel
2/5
A few highlights but mostly boring
Jimi Hendrix
4/5
Mostly very excellent, love the guitar sound. Just some songs that are a bit too messy
The Teardrop Explodes
3/5
Pretty nice, upbeat and fun.
Miles Davis
4/5
I could listen to this once every day and still get perfectly relaxed. Excellent duo
Nas
3/5
Good old school vibe. Nice flow and quite relaxing
Mj Cole
2/5
I can imagine a mood where I am into listening one of these songs. As an album it's uninspiring at best.
Willie Colón & Rubén Blades
4/5
This makes me feel nostalgic to a place I've never been.
Screaming Trees
3/5
It started out very generic but I somehow got in the flow halfway to the album and enjoyed it quite a bit.
Kacey Musgraves
1/5
this added exactly nothing to my life
Alice In Chains
3/5
Bit generic at times but not too bad
Sepultura
2/5
This was hard to get through with rare moments of okayness
Iggy Pop
4/5
Great album
Dion
2/5
This album was quite a drag, with some rare moments of ok-ness
Wilco
2/5
Most songs aren't that bad but the album feels incoherent and drags on a bit too long
Neu!
3/5
This album starts very chill, gets a bit annoying halfway and ends chill again.
Ice Cube
4/5
Love this, this is what I think about when I think about 90s hiphop
Wild Beasts
4/5
Really liked the vibe of this album
Siouxsie And The Banshees
3/5
GZA
3/5
Nice flow, got me hyped

4/5
I could listen to this all day, very chill

2/5
This has some very good but also a lot of very annoying parts
Johnny Cash
4/5
Amazing voice, good covers
Santana
4/5
Very happy music
Bob Dylan
3/5
This album is not as boring as the previous 2 albums (or I am getting used to it?). What I am not getting used to is his voice/singing style. I can't get past the fact that it sounds like somebody is making a parody of Bob Dylan, but it is actually just him.
B.B. King
5/5
Only thing I can think during this album is that I wish I were there
Pet Shop Boys
2/5
Cheesy and kind of annoying
Janelle Monáe
3/5
Loved the upbeat tracks at the start and the theatrical ending, but it lost me at some filler in between
OutKast
3/5
Get really hyped by some of the hits and some songs that just flow really well. Album has too much filler and interludes to be enjoyable as music for me.
The Pogues
2/5
I like an Irish folk song, I even like 5. I don't like 18.
Love
2/5
First few songs were very interesting, but they decided that the rest of the album had to be boring to compensate.
Miles Davis
4/5
Just very good jazz
Wilco
3/5
Chill album, not very memorable. I would recommend to fall in love with the drummer
Taylor Swift
4/5
This album surprised me by giving me way more energy and enjoyment than I thought
Primal Scream
3/5
Bit too long, bit too unremarkable but not too bad.
The Flaming Lips
2/5
Some weird concepts going on, which I like. Not good enough to make a lasting imoression
Sade
4/5
Smooth and very relaxing
Beastie Boys
2/5
Toooooo much shouting
Black Sabbath
4/5
This album surprised me in enjoyment

5/5

5/5
Simply amazing from start to finish. So many perfect songs
The Dictators
3/5
For the 34 minutes this lasted it was still fun

4/5
Makes me smile almost the whole album long. Extra fun if you imagine shooting ghouls while this is playing
Simon & Garfunkel
3/5
This was pleasant to listen to, but nothing more
U2
3/5
Much better than I expected. Sometimes a bit overly dramatic
Stevie Wonder
3/5
Didn't catch me as much as I thought it would
Malcolm McLaren
2/5
This was quite weird, not necessarily in a good way.
Fred Neil
4/5
Solid album, but the last song really makes it for me. It's a journey on its own
Fugees
4/5
Super nice vibes, chill but never boring
The Velvet Underground
4/5
Didn't feel this album and would have given this a "2 star boring" review if it wasn't for murder mystery which I couldn't stop playing.
Air
5/5
Moon Safari is one of my favourite albums of all times, I can literally enjoy this album at all times.
Kraftwerk
2/5
This was not really fun, although it blended away in the background after a while
2/5
The first half is a solid 1, way too much noise. The second half of this album was just listenable enough to appreciate the musical ability and earn an extra star but is was very close.
T. Rex
3/5
Some nice tunes in here
Duran Duran
4/5
Lovely album, super enjoyable from start to finish.
Calexico
3/5
This oscillated between exciting and boring, but mostly positive
Cornershop
3/5
Weird in a fun way
Blur
2/5
Very mediocre, won't listen to this again
Richard Thompson
2/5
Not too exciting, the calvary cross live was nice but I won't listen to this again
Burning Spear
4/5
Don't listen to reggae as much I'd like to, really enjoyed this one.
Jane's Addiction
3/5
Some really nice parts, but nothing that really sticks

3/5
Apart from some extra boring songs like hallelujah this had some nice sounds
Prefab Sprout
3/5
Mostly very mediocre but never annoying to listen to.
Ryan Adams
2/5
Very forgettable
The Waterboys
4/5
Pleasantly surprised by this album.

3/5
Has some classics and some really nice parts, I do get a bit tired of the voice after a few songs but overall still ok
Minutemen
3/5
This was pretty nice, but not very special
Germs
3/5
Full of energy and short enough to not get tiresome
Elvis Presley
4/5
I can listen to fever 10 times in a row and the rest is also not bad
Jimi Hendrix
5/5
Just very good
Sonic Youth
3/5
Love the long winded dreamy noisey sounds, but don't really like the more messy sounds.
The Sonics
3/5
Some lovely beatles like sound, but the recording is very muddy which takes away from the enjoyment
Sex Pistols
4/5
Never really listened to the sex pistols but it was much nicer than I expected
Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark
4/5
This album carries an amazing atmosphere, love it.
Count Basie & His Orchestra
4/5
Big vibe
Lupe Fiasco
3/5
A lot of it flows pretty nicely, but some parts made me feel nervous for some reason. The outro was a very long list I don't have to hear again
Beatles
4/5
Could listen to any beatles album any time of any day, this is not the best one: 4.5
Bruce Springsteen
2/5
On a free festival with nice weather and a few bears I could listen to this but only if there isn't somewhere more fun to be.
Talvin Singh
3/5
The fast paced songs bring me a kind of discomfort that really scratches an itch. The slower songs make me want the faster songs. Unique experience
Solomon Burke
3/5
Not quite standing out to me but I would never complain if this album is playing
Bobby Womack
3/5
Lovely voice, at times a bit unexciting
Arrested Development
2/5
This sounds like an album that could be something I really like, but the execution is way off
Simple Minds
4/5
45 minutes of dreamy goodness
Hole
3/5
Was kind of okay
Deep Purple
4/5
Can really lose myself in live solos, bit annoyed by applause and talking band. Overal very good

4/5
Earth, Wind & Fire
4/5
I can never get tired of this upbeat funky soul music
George Michael
3/5
Loved the faster paced songs, bit bored at times but solid album.
Queen
4/5
This is a very solid album, although there are some annoying songs on here (seaside rendezvous, prophet's song). Death On Two Legs might me my new favourite Queen song.
Michael Kiwanuka
4/5
4.5, Michael Kiwanuka makes me feel all sort of warm feelings. It misses just a small bit of something that love & hate has
Steely Dan
3/5
Enjoyable album, but I feel it's a bit to 'clean'
Echo And The Bunnymen
3/5
Okay but never exciting
Alice Cooper
3/5
I expected more metally music, but this was quite nice
OutKast
2/5
This was way too long, and not that fun.
Sonic Youth
3/5
Blanket of comfortable noise, yes.
Arcade Fire
4/5
Very clean with some very nice songs on it. A lot of the album disappears into the background a bit though,

More fun than expected for most of the album
Stan Getz
3/5
Lovely as background music
Peter Frampton
3/5
Nice live performance

Hole

Elvis Costello & The Attractions

4/5
2 absolutely amazing songs and other good songs.
Boston
4/5
Good rock and some memorable hits.
Ramones
3/5
OK with some nostalgia attached
Elvis Costello
3/5

3/5
Pleasant but a tad boring
Queen
2/5
It is too musically? Extra? Too much I am not into it

Leonard Cohen
4/5
Lovely voice, smooth and rough at the same time
Beastie Boys
2/5

4/5
The xx
4/5
Lovely album with many chill songs

3/5
This is good, but also a tad to backgroundy
Otis Redding
3/5
This is okay but I don't really get caught by it
The Only Ones
2/5
A lot of songs on this album sounds like they started out with a good idea, but could only finish it in the most boring way possible.
Pretenders
2/5
Album doesn't really know what it want to be so it just pretends
Willie Nelson
2/5
Sounds good but way too tame
Pixies
3/5
This album is almost it
Motörhead
3/5

The Mamas & The Papas
4/5
California Dreamin' is amazing and the others songs are also good
The Rolling Stones

This was certainly one of the albums
Duke Ellington
5/5
An album like this just makes me want to be there which is exactly the point.
Jamiroquai
4/5
Uptempo funky goodness

Supertramp
4/5

The Flaming Lips
4/5

Radiohead
4/5
Some absolutely beautiful songs
Depeche Mode
4/5
This album has am amazing vibe, dark and chill. Nothing really stands out but it brings something.

For some reason the last 4 songs suddenly became fun
Talking Heads
3/5
just a fine album
Missy Elliott
3/5
Good flows, has some vibe but not sure if I will put it on again
Sufjan Stevens
3/5
Feels like I've listened to a movie. Interesting idea, but bit boring in execution

Bittersweet symphony is amazing, but the album dies down a bit as it drags on.

2/5
This was a load of boring shit, but it has a vibe

3/5
Lovely chill album to
Fleetwood Mac
4/5

5/5
This album just brings me so much joy, love it any time of the day.
King Crimson
4/5
There are some rough parts but the soundscapes some songs end up in are absolutely lovely
Steely Dan
3/5
I hear good musicians playing good music. It also has a certain cleanliness to it that makes it a bit too clinical. Not sure why this bothers me because it doesn't in some other artists music, still good.
Eagles
3/5
Love the title song, but the rest is quite unremarkable.
Bob Marley & The Wailers
4/5
This is very close to a 5 for me, but there are a few dull moments in the second half of the album
Coldplay
3/5
The album was better than I expected. Politik and God Put a Smile upon Your Face are really nice, but it also contains songs that are so boring they make me want to skip ahead 10 seconds in. All in all ok

The first sound of this album is one of my favourite sounds of all time. It instantly makes my day. I can have this on repeat forever, the songs just make me so happy.
Tom Waits
3/5
Some songs have this amazing ambiance, but it still is a bit too much for a whole album
Nirvana
4/5
Might be my favourite version of quite some Nirvana songs
The Kinks

This gets close to being actually good, but the impression it leaves after listening is "just okay"

These old school live club recordings just make me want to be there every time. It feels alive.
Animal Collective
2/5

R.E.M.
2/5
Not really bad but also quite forgettable
Metallica
3/5

3/5
Loved the start and the end, but the middle dragged a bit
Metallica

Some very good vibes
The Last Shadow Puppets
5/5
Love every second of this album
Bob Dylan
3/5
This album starts with exactly that annoying voice that makes me think of Bob Dylan as a bit. Having said that, due to circumstances I was extremely in the mood for sad and annoying which made me see a bit of value in Uncle Bob and that earns this album a passing grade.
LL Cool J
3/5
It's a vibe
Nanci Griffith
1/5
Can't imagine something much more boring than this
Linkin Park

Good singer, mwah music
Sigur Rós
4/5
It took me a few songs but it got me into this lovely dreamlike state in the end

4/5
This album feels like a smoothly produced ride from the start to the end. Enjoyed it a lot, but missed a few highs that I think Graduation has for example.
Bob Marley & The Wailers
3/5
Again a bit in dubio about a reggea album. There are certainly days where this feels like a 4, but on other days it gets way too repetitive musically.

1/5
Very tempted to give this 1 extra star because it just has some weird stuff in it and I respect that. But the whole experience was a bit too unlistenable
The Associates
1/5
This is one of the worst albums I have heard, an album hasn't made me angry like this to finish in a long time. Boring and very very annoying
Christina Aguilera
3/5
Bit too long for my taste, could have stripped some of the less memorable songs and would have been a 4

Watching the videoclip of Californication on DVD on a small tv with my friends in one of our childhood bedrooms is one of my most vivid memories of my youth.
