1999

Prince

3/5

80s pop with tons of twists, great instrumentation, and arrangements. Tons of over the top interpretations, screams and moaning.

Let England Shake

PJ Harvey

4/5

Very original, with some raw grunge-like energy and polished songs at the same time. PJ is really good at adapting her vocal to the songs, and the album covers a variety of needs

The Köln Concert

Keith Jarrett

4/5

Nice solo piano album, great compositions. Very long tracks with tons of changes. Beautiful and inspiring, great album for focus work.

This Is Fats Domino

Fats Domino

4/5

Piano nervoso, muito sopro, forma blues com pegada rock dos anos 50, comportado. arranjos bem montados, com algumas baladas mas bastante coisa dançante.

The Stranger

Billy Joel

3/5

The title song is great, along with a couple other ones like moving out and vienna. The others are a little bland

Low-Life

New Order

4/5

Great album, I knew almost no song and enjoyed them all. New order through and through, their tone and timbre, their electronic and acoustic instruments, everything comes together nicely here

Play

Moby

4/5

Very tasteful, versatile album, with a good mix of instrumental tracks and songs. It is very complete, with tons of hits and very different genres.

Electric Warrior

T. Rex

4/5

Very pleasing and exciting at the same time, Bolan's smooth vocals and the warm overdriven guitar just sound beautiful together, and the tunes are very good.

The Rise & Fall

Madness

3/5

Some weird riffs, with very rich instrumentation. ska-based, but some influences from musicals and some prog. Very interesting, and Our House is in this album!

Opus Dei

Laibach

3/5

Raw Like Sushi

Neneh Cherry

1/5

Fragile

Yes

5/5

This is a masterpiece, it still hits as hard as the first time I heard it. Just amazing compositions

This Year's Model

Elvis Costello & The Attractions

4/5

Pretty good album, early punk with some ska influences, but mostly sounds like old rock meets punk.

Surfer Rosa

Pixies

3/5

Some good songs, very original, lots of screaming chaos :)

Unhalfbricking

Fairport Convention

4/5

Great prog rock, similar to Renaissance. Great band, have to listen more of it

Ananda Shankar

2/5

Psychedelic rock with sitar, very soothing and dynamic at the same time.

Tanto Tempo

Bebel Gilberto

4/5

Ótimo album, releitura de muita música boa com alguns poucos elementos modernos de música eletrônica em cima da mpb. Setlist muito bom e ótima voz da bebel

Nevermind

Nirvana

5/5

Nevermind is still awesome all those years later

On The Beach

Neil Young

4/5

Great album, Neil Young dabbles alternately in country and blues rock

Pretzel Logic

Steely Dan

5/5

What a great album, the instrumentation is marvelous: very virtuosistic, but not flashy at all, always serving the song. Great songs, some very catchy, great riffs, an awesome album.

Nick Of Time

Bonnie Raitt

1/5

80's with some country and blues, nothing really stood out

Moving Pictures

Rush

5/5

Awesome album, moving pictures is iconic and has tons of great songs

Pink Moon

Nick Drake

4/5

Great album, very melancholic but soothing, just voice and guitar. Very folk based, soothing airy vocals, need to hear more stuff from him! His voice reminds me of the Harmonium singer

The Last Of The True Believers

Nanci Griffith

3/5

Very soothing country record, lovely arrangements and vocals, a bit of that Dolly parton vibe.

The Rolling Stones

2/5

nice rock and roll, heavy blues influences. very unpolished and still lacking some of their originality

Duck Stab/Buster & Glen

The Residents

4/5

Awesome experimental avant-garde album, with tons of different influences, electronic music, punk, surf. Weird and great!

C'est Chic

CHIC

3/5

Good album, funky, a number of great tunes. Some are a bit dull, though

Darkness on the Edge of Town

Bruce Springsteen

3/5

Nice album with Bruce's classic sonority, tons of piano and strings arrangements.

Sticky Fingers

Very solid album, with wild horses and brown sugar. Sister morphine is a great tune!

Phrenology

The Roots

2/5

Nice rap album, some good hits and beats, tons of rock influences and guitar parts.

Midnight Ride

Paul Revere & The Raiders

3/5

Some nice tunes, very 60s, huge influence from beatles, a bit of surf and blues mixture too.

Wild Is The Wind

Nina Simone

4/5

Great album, lilac whine is a great song, along with so many political lyrics.

Licensed To Ill

Beastie Boys

2/5

Ok album, samples are pretty good, the beats and the vocals not so much. Even with the great samples, the album is kinda of boring, all their vocals are pretty much the same throughout the album.

Kenza

Khaled

3/5

Good album with tons of strings and different instruments and some catchy rhythms.

Femi Kuti

4/5

Great songs, carrying the torch proudly forward. Very tasteful, energetic and danceable

Green River

Creedence Clearwater Revival

3/5

Nice timbres, and really nice tunes. While it does get old soon, but some songs really stand out and keep the energy.

Black Holes and Revelations

Muse

4/5

Knights of Cydonia, starlight, several great tracks, beautiful and innovative instrumentations, and arrangements, overall just awesome.

Automatic For The People

R.E.M.

3/5

Great album, heavy atmosphere with penetrating songs, happy and sad at the same time

Tonight's The Night

Neil Young

3/5

Very laid back, cool guitar riffs and very bluesy. Has a live raw energy, even though it's pretty soothing.

The Sun Rises In The East

Jeru The Damaja

3/5

Raw aggressive east coast rap, very good flow and beats. Some more pop sounds here and there. Sounds like the lyrics are sound, some social critic. Good album overall.

Trafalgar

Bee Gees

3/5

Surprisingly good album, somehow I was expecting only high pitched singing and it was not the case, they have a great range of singing articulations, great pianos and songwriting.

American IV: The Man Comes Around

Johnny Cash

4/5

Great album, Johnny Cash is just brilliant, all arrangements and songs choices are spot on, very poignant.

Music From Big Pink

The Band

3/5

Pretty good album, the initial songs are very bland rock from the 60's but later songs are kinda prog

Imagine

John Lennon

2/5

Ok album, some good tunes

Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)

Eurythmics

2/5

Good album, not only dancing songs, and some great vocals.
