Hail To the Thief

Radiohead

5/5

The criticism towards society it is shown by the slow tempos and gloomy atmosphere created by guitars, choirs, and several drums. The vocalist uses his voice to set the tone and help lyrics achieve its message, short and repetitive sentences with strong words.

Grace

Jeff Buckley

2/5

Interesting comparison to his dad's work, the fact that choir and church style songs were followed by some progressive dark psychedelic works impressed me

Van Halen

5/5

The album felt close to metal giving american style from the 60s without being from the era. Guitar solos were spectacular and the energy throughout the whole project never decreased.

Debut

Björk

2/5

Abstract concept and good incorporation of jazz into a different genre, lyrics were inciting but did not make a great impact, it felt like they lack some correlation with the instrumentation.

The Velvet Underground & Nico

The Velvet Underground

1/5

Their voices were not pleasant to listen to, no innovation compared to other artist of the same genre and era

Band On The Run

Paul McCartney and Wings

2/5

Paul's voice was more prominent than everybody else, mellow lyrics and soothing tempos resembling the Beatles style without showing great innovation.

Sound Affects

The Jam

2/5

The storytelling in the songs added a plus to the experience, music was simple with well thought accents throughout the album

Synchronicity

The Police

4/5

Different than what I expected the album to sound like, not all the songs are similar to every breath you take and they all have a unique character

Like A Prayer

Madonna

3/5

I knew the album from before, there is only a couple of songs I liked from it but it is solid since prince plays the guitar in some pieces.

Gasoline Alley

Rod Stewart

3/5

The country style which was present in the album was easy to listen to and had some songs like country comforts which are mellow and calm with a steady blues beat

Let's Get Killed

David Holmes

3/5

Psychedelic hip hop presented in the form of a regular day in New York

The Boatman's Call

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

3/5

Enjoyable, spiritual lyrics with only piano during the whole álbum.

Wild Wood

Paul Weller

2/5

Melancholic lyrics, slow paced songs with some ballad/country/rock hints along some tracks.

John Prine

4/5

Country old west beats, the storytelling from the tracks make them very interesting with a moral. The vibe of the whole album transports you back into a wooden tabern with live music in a hot climate

In The Wee Small Hours

Frank Sinatra

5/5

The album showcased stories about unrequited love, the singer shared his view of life along with his feelings without any resent. Easy to relate to.

Juju

Siouxsie And The Banshees

4/5

Gothic rock, a post punk group wihch used the gizmo to give the guitar a more synth or classical effect in the songs. The album seemed to have a concept with the songs relating to each other.

Beach Samba

Astrud Gilberto

1/5

It sounded as elevator music

Safe As Milk

Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band

2/5

The album title served as protest for the pollution in foods, refering that not even milk from moms was safe to drink. Blues oriented and the band without having room to grow managed to express themselves

Peggy Suicide

Julian Cope

4/5

Great sound from the artist, unique soft experimental rock. Cheerful in the edge of being depressing, relaxed beats. Good vibes

Double Nickels On The Dime

Minutemen

5/5

Rock album with jazz influences, tackling topics such as political war, lgbtq+, racism, with humor and abstract words. In certain songs it sounded like poetry slam or random words being spoken, sometimes through spacey beats others with rock and roll.

Bossanova

Pixies

3/5

Indie rock, alternative, getting close to pop. In order to enjoy the album one must be in the mood of something calm and simple

2112

Rush

3/5

Rrogressive rock in the edge of metal. Great single track of 20 min, it does a great job immersing the listener into the world portrayed by the artists.

Jagged Little Pill

Alanis Morissette

4/5

Alternative pop sang by a great artist with some rock elements, it felt like it had the same impact as Taylor Swift but during the 90s

Songs For Swingin' Lovers!

Frank Sinatra

5/5

Exceptional lyrics, jazz, hippie, classy. The way the words convey their message in a playful, romantic, and sexy manner is like no other.

Fever To Tell

Yeah Yeah Yeahs

4/5

The voice of the vocalist is sexy, heavily modified guitar rifts and bass, aggresive drumming. Garage rock, dance punk, this achieves to maintain a rebellious feeling throughout the album

The Beach Boys Today!

The Beach Boys

2/5

Rock and roll, tamborines, high pitch guitar solos, during its era I suppose it was a great success however its not very appealing to the music standards today.

Axis: Bold As Love

Jimi Hendrix

5/5

Rock, Jazz, Blues, Ballads, psychodelia, a brilliant usage of chord progressions, rifts and secondary elements such as synthetizers to picture an alien or out of body experience.

Listen Without Prejudice Vol. 1

George Michael

4/5

Thrilling songs, his voice was better than I expected and loved the topics

The Scream

Siouxsie And The Banshees

3/5

Post punk, alternative, noise rock, great distortion in the intrumentation, pioneer in blending angular (larger interval jump) tones form the guitar with a bass in the background and drums resambling machines.

Crossing the Red Sea With the Adverts

The Adverts

3/5

A Nod Is As Good As A Wink To A Blind Horse

Faces

4/5

Vibrant blues, boogie country rock and roll, great performances, it sounds lively and its exciting to listen to due to the energy and spice added by a fun band of drunken friends.

Bright Flight

Silver Jews

1/5

Country, slow tempo sort of psychodelic. Not my cup of tea, the vocalist sounded like he needs more vocalization practice.

Penance Soiree

The Icarus Line

3/5

Garage noise rock, made to be listened to at a high volume. Burning guitars and ferocious vocals

Sea Change

Beck

4/5

Great instrumental work blended with electronic components, melancholy and yearning is present in instrumentation long deep strums, minor chords, and dragging low pitch/energy voice. Touches of psychodelic influences to boost memory imagery
