3/5

Electro Style Allemand. Efficace, un peu redondant, mais amusant si dans le mood.

american dream

LCD Soundsystem

2/5

Très émotif et posta-apocalyptique comme ressenti. Se prennent un peu trop au sérieux. Mise en scène dramatique. Un fond U2.

Chemtrails Over The Country Club

Lana Del Rey

2/5

Very low and sad mood. I guess she went through something difficult while she wrote these songs. The basic pattern is redundant, but that’s her style. I hope she finds joy and has fun at one point.

Let It Be

The Replacements

1/5

Young garage band sound. Rather noisy. I think they have talent, but lack the skills. Music schooling would benefit them, if I may.

Tanto Tempo

Bebel Gilberto

3/5

Nice, but a little predictable. Some songs are romantic and smooth, in Portuguese. They are the nice ones on this album.

Highway to Hell

AC/DC

5/5

That’s AC/DC! Good loud rock. It’s got a feel good effect! Nice

Urban Hymns

The Verve

4/5

Nice, mostly the second half.

Bossanova

Pixies

4/5

Basic musically. Lyrics are obscure most of the time. The second part of the album is better to my taste. It feels rebellious and teenagously disorganized. Which is nice if you are in that mood. I liked it overall…

Music Has The Right To Children

Boards of Canada

3/5

Nice electronic music. Fine

Blue Lines

Massive Attack

1/5

Did not age well. Flaky and outdated. Kitch in some aspects. It is a no in 2022. I guess it was good then…

Modern Kosmology

Jane Weaver

5/5

Very good album!! Electro new age. Very hypnotic and epic. Loved it!

Apocalypse 91… The Enemy Strikes Black

Public Enemy

3/5

Strong statements about black people stigmatization.

Veckatimest

Grizzly Bear

4/5

Nice Indie Rock. Reminds me of the Beatles in some aspects. Nice when having friends visiting

Surf's Up

The Beach Boys

2/5

Interesting album. It does not sound like the Beach Boys as they became later on.

Nevermind

Nirvana

2/5

Limited musically and vocally. Immature noisy garage band sound. Is great for hormonally challenged teenagers who need to let steam out in a repetitive monocord rumble on Friday nights. Boring if I may. Their album cover is the punch!

Floodland

Sisters Of Mercy

2/5

À little too dramatic to my taste. An apocalyptic ambiance that would make it a great movie music.

Let England Shake

PJ Harvey

1/5

Too nationalistic to my taste. England’s past glory is BuSh, like for all imperialistic nations.

Bookends

Simon & Garfunkel

3/5

Good memories, but it is times gone by. Did not age that well. Of course a few mythical songs remain pleasant to listen to.

Microshift

Hookworms

2/5

Experiential music. Would make good movie music. A little too repetitive and lacking something. Maybe too technical in its approach and maybe self hypnotic in some way.

Deep Purple In Rock

Deep Purple

4/5

Good rock! You need to be in the mood for this much intensity. Helps let steam out.

Medúlla

Björk

2/5

Intense and passionate! A little too obsessive to my taste. Do not listen in the morning. The mood is agressive and self centred. On the other hand, one can enter with her in that state of psychological intensity where she appears to dwell. Not my cup of tea.

Revolver

Beatles

4/5

Good album. Of course we heard that a lot.

Pyromania

Def Leppard

1/5

No! Boring it is….

Live Through This

Hole

4/5

Amazing feminist strength for the years she did this. The album is a ton of anger. She was born 30 years too early. She would have been a great « me too » defender.

Moon Safari

Air

3/5

Very uneven styles. There electro is good. Some good James Bond type of songs. Will keep a few song in my files.

The Band

2/5

Not my type.

Axis: Bold As Love

Jimi Hendrix

5/5

Great!!!

Green River

Creedence Clearwater Revival

4/5

Nice 60’s American folk style. A little past the due date, but still nice to listen to.

Bridge Over Troubled Water

Simon & Garfunkel

3/5

Good album. Have listen to it too much because of my parents when I was young, a kid. So I am not able to judge it with enough emotional distance. So, I think it is a gentle intimate type of music. Well made but a little too sentimental to my taste

The Gilded Palace Of Sin

The Flying Burrito Brothers

1/5

Really country music! Not a very entertaining country music it is. Boring to me.

Figure 8

Elliott Smith

2/5

Nice but too melancholic to my taste.

The Next Day

David Bowie

3/5

Cloud Nine

The Temptations

2/5

Too much on the romance side to my taste. Sounds like a bunch of man trying to prove they are so virile. Gets boring the more you listen

Daft Punk

3/5

Very repetitive, but fun in a party context

Bandwagonesque

Teenage Fanclub

2/5

The Genius Of Ray Charles

Ray Charles

Otis Redding

4/5

Whatever

Aimee Mann

1/5

Not my style.

Rid Of Me

PJ Harvey

A Christmas Gift For You From Phil Spector

Various Artists

1/5

The Slider

T. Rex

Not my style. But some song are worth listening.

461 Ocean Boulevard

Eric Clapton

4/5

Great ! Love it!

Chocolate Starfish And The Hot Dog Flavored Water

Limp Bizkit

4/5

Fun album. But you got to be in the mood for the abrasive lyrics. Appears to be an album for those who think others reject them.

All Directions

The Temptations

3/5

My Generation

The Who

5/5

Just great!! They were so much ahead of their time that they are still on the wave. A classic!

Rings Around The World

Hypnotised

The Undertones

3/5

Fun retro rock teenagers’ mood for young guys.

Live!

Fela Kuti

4/5

Like it! Nice mood.

Violent Femmes

2/5

Fun but rather young and teenager boys’ sex oriented one track minded lyrics. An anger that appears to be rooted in post-industrial small American town with no souls.

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

Beatles

5/5

Great album!! A classic.

The Madcap Laughs

Syd Barrett

4/5

Nice sensitivity and fragility.

Boston

5/5

The Visitors

ABBA

3/5

Very good voices and musical arrangements. Broadway feeling or Disney type of music. Not what I look for.

Too Rye Ay

Dexys Midnight Runners

3/5

Interesting voice. The style of music is not my match. They should have let go of the violon. Bad adjustments of intensity, too simple and annoying violon. To me the best song is Reminisce at they end of the album.

Dr. John

3/5

Really experimental. Interesting but one needs to be in the mood.

Dusty In Memphis

Dusty Springfield

1/5

Shallow by the lack of sincerity of the signer. We don’t believe her. Bad interpretation. Music is very boring.

Superfly

Curtis Mayfield

5/5

Wow! Great album! Loved it, although some songs have a 70s feel, obviously. Rather mellow and smooth going. Mayfield’s voice is nice.

The Last Broadcast

Doves

3/5

Interesting but not intense enough to my taste. A little boring. Sorry about this.

Close To The Edge

Yes

4/5

Nice memories. I definitely like progressive rock. Nice mix of free jazz and rock.

Not my style!!

Songs For Swingin' Lovers!

Frank Sinatra

4/5

Good for its kind! Like it as a background music when with my love diner.

Achtung Baby

2/5

Kind of boring to me. The signer seams to have very limited tones making each song too similar. The doomsday feeling of the song is a little to heavy for me. Just not my bag.

Mike Ladd

1/5

Not really interesting in 2023. Maybe in 2000 when most were afraid of the millennium scarecrow.

Pictures At An Exhibition

Emerson, Lake & Palmer
