1999 by Prince
Oct 07 2022

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

Let England Shake by PJ Harvey
Oct 10 2022

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 by Keith Jarrett
Oct 11 2022

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 by Fats Domino
Feb 07 2023

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 by Billy Joel
Feb 08 2023

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

Low-Life by New Order
Feb 09 2023

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 by Moby
Feb 10 2023

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 by T. Rex
Feb 13 2023

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 by Madness
Feb 14 2023

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!

Fragile by Yes
Jan 31 2025

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

This Year's Model by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Feb 03 2025

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

Surfer Rosa by Pixies
Feb 04 2025

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

Unhalfbricking by Fairport Convention
Feb 05 2025

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

Ananda Shankar by Ananda Shankar
Feb 06 2025

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

Tanto Tempo by Bebel Gilberto
Feb 07 2025

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 by Nirvana
Feb 10 2025

Nevermind is still awesome all those years later

On The Beach by Neil Young
Feb 11 2025

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

Pretzel Logic by Steely Dan
Feb 13 2025

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 by Bonnie Raitt
Feb 14 2025

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

Moving Pictures by Rush
Feb 17 2025

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

Pink Moon by Nick Drake
Feb 18 2025

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 by Nanci Griffith
Feb 19 2025

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

The Rolling Stones by The Rolling Stones
Feb 20 2025

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

Duck Stab/Buster & Glen by The Residents
Feb 21 2025

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

C'est Chic by CHIC
Feb 24 2025

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

Darkness on the Edge of Town by Bruce Springsteen
Feb 25 2025

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

Sticky Fingers by The Rolling Stones
Feb 26 2025

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

Phrenology by The Roots
Feb 27 2025

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

Midnight Ride by Paul Revere & The Raiders
Feb 28 2025

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

Wild Is The Wind by Nina Simone
Mar 03 2025

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

Licensed To Ill by Beastie Boys
Mar 04 2025

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 by Khaled
Mar 05 2025

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

Femi Kuti by Femi Kuti
Mar 06 2025

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

Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Mar 07 2025

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

Mar 10 2025

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

Mar 11 2025

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

Tonight's The Night by Neil Young
Mar 12 2025

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 by Jeru The Damaja
Mar 13 2025

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 by Bee Gees
Mar 14 2025

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.

Mar 17 2025

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

Music From Big Pink by The Band
Mar 18 2025

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

Imagine by John Lennon
Mar 19 2025

Ok album, some good tunes
