Come Away With Me

Norah Jones

I started off with the idea I'd hate the blandness of the songs, but I had to admit to myself that I actually enjoyed the relaxing vibe the songs bring. Her voice has a great range and the jazzy arrangements give that voice the right podium.

Licensed To Ill

Beastie Boys

Beastie Boys are iconic for a period in which rap slowly became popular in a broader public. Their controversial crossover with punk was new and exciting, and the lyrics were ballsy. They inspired many artists, but for me I can't help but feel like this was just a joke that got out of hand. That doesn't mean I don't enjoy the joke. I like hearing the album, but next day I've forgotten all about it again.

Let England Shake

PJ Harvey

If you want to listen to some birthday party bangers, I wouldn't go for this album. Eery chords, high pitched voice and very into your face. The first World War is an intriguing subject and she has definitely dived into it. High rating because of the artistic and historic value, but not an album I'll put into my high rotation.

Birth Of The Cool

Miles Davis

The bebop jazz crossover to makes it easier to digest when you hear it for the first time. It's just so many notes....

The Queen Is Dead

The Smiths

The Queen is Dead appeared to be the pinnacle of The Smiths, although people didn't recognize it as such at the time of release. Probably partly because Morrissey felt like they were entitled to this success. Each track has some form of brilliance, the bassline creating a tension, the drums surprising you or the witty lyrics expressing a sense of belonging / not-belonging.

Pink Flag

Wire

It certainly has some moments of brilliance, but it feels at moments more like a demo album with song ideas than complete songs.

Deloused in the Comatorium

The Mars Volta

This is one of those albums that took me a few times to really get into. Which I've luckily done already a few years ago. If I had heard it for the first time today, I might've written it off as prog rock that is trying too hard to make as many sounds as possible. The whole fusion of jazz, experimental, latin, sound manipulation and straightup hardcore matches so remarkably well that the whole album feels like a storytelling. The switching between spacy, balladlike singing and fullblown machinegun drumming keeps you on your toes the whole time.

The Lexicon Of Love

ABC

Unmistakable 80's sound with so many songs you forgot you knew. Not every song is as good as "The Look of Love" or "Poison Arrow", but the album is definitely iconic.

Sep 21 2022

Tommy

The Who

Interesting concept album with a controversial topic, so this must have stirred up some emotions back then. It was a very bold move to make a rock opera, but it somehow is a bit tedious to listen to. At many times more of the same, building up tension but it hardly ever comes to a real explosion.

Punishing Kiss

Ute Lemper

This type of cabaret music requires an acquired taste, I guess. I can't think of any reason for this album being in the 1001 albums list, other than the list of big names that were part of making this album.

The Man Machine

Kraftwerk

bleep bloop, a new era of electronic music arrived, in which Kraftwerk played a huge role. While discovering the possibilities of electronic technology, they still manage to keep a certain elegance in the songs.

Kings Of The Wild Frontier

Adam & The Ants

Adam & The Ants blend art-rock, punk and new wave and add some tribal drumming and chanting on top. And that's where it all seems to start feeling plastic and kitschy. It makes it very suitable for movie soundtracks and it might've worked incredibly in concerts, but listening to this album on its own is like you're walking in on a lot of weird theme parties where people used enough substances already and you're the only one sober.
