It's an iconic album. I love Eddie's sound and style; he was one of my heroes. Panama was one of the first songs I learned playing the guitar, and I still enjoy playing it. 5 Stars for this album.

It's a good, well-played album with some classic pop songs. But in my humble opinion, Thriller is far beyond superior. 4 stars for me.
Few notes: You can't judge an album by its overture. The song "Darkness, Darkness" is filled with intention, giving a rock emotion. And that's the whole point: the overture has an actual powerful riff that promises a rock album, but it is not. It's something else. Of course, it's a well-played album. Some instrumental parts are brilliant, filled with groove, old country-style harmony, and some tasteful piano. However, even with those parts, the album isn't communicating enough emotions to me: it's coming "flat". I can't feel the "magic". I'm sorry, it's not a crush for me. "Sunlight" and "Ride the Wind" By the way, there are two exceptions. Here is where the magic happens. But those two songs are not from a country background; they come from a very different key. Are those musicians giving their best when evading from the country background? I doubt I will check for more. I'm rating it 3/5: - It's well-played, so it's not boring. Country music can easily go too dull for me, and I appreciate the effort they put into being intelligent. **** - It's not outstanding. It's not extraordinary nor remarkable. *** - The voices. I cannot appreciate the "naivety" of that style. The effort they put into the instruments is not sustaining on the vocals too. And that was a deliberate choice. It's a flaw. **
That's cool! I enjoy this fantastic album! I'm giving the best rating. - This outstanding album gives what you expect from this marvellous era. ***** - Great rhythmic patterns and powerful grooves. ***** I can feel the magic, and my feet follow the beats from the first notes of every song. ***** I was looking for something like that. Thank you very much!
Few notes: I already knew this album, but I'm not a genre fan. I remember playing "Hey Hey My My" with my friends (don't ask me why Neil himself changed the order of the title every time, sometimes he even changed the lyrics, haha). That song has an iconic guitar riff, so you can easily recognize it from the first notes. Every rock guitar player should know that song: it is considered a standard, so you can probably play it during a jam session, even with people you don't know. All you need to do is work around the riff, put a kicking groove, and then you can try to improve it.
"..shun-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n, knees, knees!!!"" The best album ever!!! 5 Stars!! It's full of energy all the time ***** Every single song is cool and magic ***** Even the love song, "Sweet Child o' Mine", is punchy and kicking till the end. ***** I learned to play the guitar with this. Love at first sight.
It's not a crush for me.

Super Album! 5/5 stars! It's a classic progressive rock album with a great sound ***** Mighty riffs and grooves; it's kicking most of the time ***** Rocking flute played in a well-balanced band; it's intelligent and unique ***** It is an essential reference point for its genre. I advise everyone to listen!

A nice album, but it's not a crush for me.
It's a great album. The contrast key between instruments is sublime: you can hear modern aggressive patterns mixed with refined moods. The whole album develops a lot of ideas. That variety gives excellent value to the project, making it something remarkable and outstanding.
It's a nice album, but it's not a crush for me.
An album full of emotions, a point of reference.
The masterpiece: one of the most influential albums in history.
Revolution 909 - Da Funk - Around the World. A great debut for the french duo.
The Hotel California song has a great sound and motif, but the rest of the album does not inspire me much.
