Sister

Sonic Youth

5/5

Sonic Youth is one of those "do you like it?" "of course I do" bands, but little do you really know! What a mistake! This album is magnificent, good music from the beginning to the end.

Van Morrison

4/5

Não sou muito fã de músicas dos anos 70... mas gostando muito de ouvir esse álbum! Algumas músicas lembro de já ter passado em alguma esquina da vida, outras foram surpresa (ótima, por sinal). Ouvi Van Morisson em alguma fase da vida, parei, e agora fiquei com vontade que ele permaneça no meu gosto musical.

Dig Your Own Hole

The Chemical Brothers

4/5

Estava tentando escrever relatório, e nem as músicas costumeiras, aquela do dia-a-dia, arroz com feijão, estavam inspirando. De novo, saí da minha zona, escutei músicas que não escutaria normalmente (a não ser que eu fosse obrigada, aí vale para a fila do mercado ou sala de espera do dentista) e, incrivelmente, o trabalho fluiu. As músicas são carregadas de energia, um baita ritmo e uma batida de fazer até o sangue correr mais rápido... nota 5!

Younger Than Yesterday

The Byrds

4/5

The music is good, but the sound is not really my thing. I will listen again, and focus on the quality... but it's really not to my taste!

The Joshua Tree

5/5

A true classic... Listening to these songs made my day better, all the songs on this album are too good.

Live At The Harlem Square Club

Sam Cooke

5/5

Some people are called geniuses because they leave a legacy that never ceases to amaze humanity... this album is one of those cases! Try to listen to the whole album and stand still!

Court And Spark

Joni Mitchell

5/5

A Rush Of Blood To The Head

Coldplay

3/5

Coldplay is one of those bands that I always wonder where it went wrong. This is their latest good work, but it can't compare to the excellent Parachutes...

Darklands

The Jesus And Mary Chain

5/5

This album is really very very good! All the songs are excellent!

Throwing Muses

5/5

Não conhecia a banda... uma excelente surpresa! Gostei muito do album!

Whatever

Aimee Mann

5/5

I first met Aimee Mann watching sitcoms, back in the (now) distant 90s. What a trip back in time listening to this CD, and the certainty that good music never ages.

Queen Of Denmark

John Grant

5/5

What a great surprise at the end of the year... I really liked the songs! I didn't know the artist, and it stayed with me all weekend.

The La's

5/5

This a great opportunity to review a good friend and chat a little! A favorite!

Histoire De Melody Nelson

Serge Gainsbourg

5/5

I have always wanted to learn French, and after hearing this album for the first time, I enrolled so that I could understand the lyrics on my own. I love this album so much!

Station To Station

David Bowie

5/5

David Bowie was one of the best representations of human creativity!

You Want It Darker

Leonard Cohen

5/5

One of the most beautiful voices in the world, saying her farewell. Everything about it is perfect, the lyrics, the melodies...

Buena Vista Social Club

5/5

Rio

Duran Duran

5/5

Atualmente, nesse calorzão brasileiro, só esse albúm para dar uma alegrada na alma...

Behaviour

Pet Shop Boys

5/5

How many memories listening to this album...

Mermaid Avenue

Billy Bragg

5/5

I love it, it even feels like time went by faster!

Bandwagonesque

Teenage Fanclub

5/5

I knew the band by name, but had never stopped to listen to anything of theirs... very good, I liked it a lot, and now I will listen to more!

Ray Of Light

Madonna

5/5

Madonna always surprises with her creativity: all her albums are different from each other, both in lyrics and melodies. This all ensures that she remains active and extremely interesting over time. This album is no exception, all songs are great and take you on a mystical journey of that time (she changes too, just like Madonna). I still prefer the Madonna of the 80s, but it is undeniable how great this album is.

Rumours

Fleetwood Mac

5/5

Ainda que não seja minha praia (sei lá qual é a minha praia), tenho que reconhecer que o album é uma preciosidade!

Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness

The Smashing Pumpkins

5/5

One of the best albums ever made, those who were teenagers in the 90s remember turning on the TV and watching the Smashing Pumpkins videos and singing all the songs on this CD. It was always a dream of mine, but I could only realize it as an adult... to this day I remember admiring the booklet, reading the lyrics, and listening to the songs!

Pretzel Logic

Steely Dan

5/5

What a wonderful surprise! I loved all the songs, I'm already saving the album to listen to later, more calmly.

B-52's

The B-52's

2/5

Thanks to MTV, I suffered throughout my teenage years from overexposure to the B-52's and to this day I can't listen. The songs are good, but it's trauma.

Moon Safari

Air

4/5

I liked it, but it was too hectic, I think the songs were not in the same tune as what I was doing at the moment. I will listen to it again, another time.

Siamese Dream

The Smashing Pumpkins

5/5

Acho que até os trabalhos "ruins" do Smashing Pumpkins merecem 5 estrelas. Não é o caso desse, que mereceria umas 7 :-)

The Last Of The True Believers

Nanci Griffith

4/5

Não conhecia, e gostei bastante de todas as músicas! :-)

Shake Your Money Maker

The Black Crowes

2/5

My sister loves them... for me it's a meh!

Adele

2/5

Her voice is beautiful and she is extremely talented, but it was a time with so much exposure about Adele that I can't listen to the songs anymore. The songs are not my style, but I don't see that as a problem, we can always learn something new, but I can't listen to them anymore...

If You Can Believe Your Eyes & Ears

The Mamas & The Papas

4/5

I like it!

Hotel California

Eagles

4/5

That band that everyone sings one song and you discover that the others are also very good? That was my feeling listening to this album yesterday/today. I liked it a lot!

Pelican West

Haircut 100

5/5

I love the 80's too much, even these less known bands (at least here, in Brazil) always surprise me positively. I really liked the songs, I will look for other works.

Armed Forces

Elvis Costello & The Attractions

4/5

Two great albums in two days in a row? What are the chances? But it finally happened... after a phenomenal album yesterday, here comes this pearl to listen to. Here in Brazil Elvis Costello, unfortunately, is a relatively unknown talent (as far as I know), and listening to this album was a surprise and a great discovery.

Actually

Pet Shop Boys

5/5

This album is that famous "let's dance our troubles away" album. Great, until today!

Achtung Baby

5/5

Esse álbum é bom demais, um dos favoritos da vida!

Follow The Leader

Korn

3/5

Foi uma surpresa, porque realmente essa onda nu metal nunca me pegou. Reconheci algumas músicas, culpa ainda da MTV, outras só escutei mesmo. Não daria uma chance, mas o material foi realmente inovador para a época.

Dookie

Green Day

5/5

Pacific Ocean Blue

Dennis Wilson

4/5

Maggot Brain

Funkadelic

5/5

Low

David Bowie

5/5

Every Picture Tells A Story

Rod Stewart

5/5

I always have the unfortunate tendency to think that good music is perhaps in the past. Besides being extremely unfair to the great musicians we have active today, it is also unfair to all the musicians who are still active, even though they have a wonderful musical past, as is the case of Rod Stewart. I had never heard this album before, and I was really surprised, what a quality, what a delight to listen to these songs. It saved my afternoon, and made my day much more cheerful!

Sister

Sonic Youth

5/5

Sonic Youth is one of those "do you like it?" "of course I do" bands, but little do you really know! What a mistake! This album is magnificent, good music from the beginning to the end.

Vauxhall And I

Morrissey

5/5

O Morrissey é daqueles que torna difícil separar a obra do artista: as músicas sempre lembram um tempo que não volta, e então lembro das bobajadas que ele fala...

Surf's Up

The Beach Boys

5/5

Perfeito! Eu só conhecia outros álbuns do Beach Boys, e confesso que não teria conhecido esse até ser indicado aqui! Aliás, estou escrevendo essa pequena resenha um dia após a morte do Brian Wilson. Eles são aquelas bandas muito grandes, mas que precisavam ser mais divulgados, ouvidos...

Strangeways, Here We Come

The Smiths

5/5

Um clássico, perfeito...

The White Album

Beatles

5/5

Aqui é possível entender a definição de clássico: como um álbum desses ainda tem tanto a falar...perfeito!

KIWANUKA

Michael Kiwanuka

5/5

Conheci o Michael Kiwanuka na edição desse ano do Lollapalloza, e acho que foi a última boa descoberta dali em muitos anos! Mesmo tendo acompanhado o show dele no evento, essa foi a primeira oportunidade que parei para realmente ouvir a música dele: que presente maravilhoso para a humanidade, que talento! 5 estrelas é pouco!

Low-Life

New Order

5/5

Californication

Red Hot Chili Peppers

5/5

Não me classificaria mesmo como fã ou até ouvinte de Red Hot Chilli Peppers, mas lembro dessas músicas tocando, estar de férias, e até ter tempo de realmente ouvir música.

Aja

Steely Dan

4/5

Gostei, mas não amei!

The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway

Genesis

5/5

Mais uma surpresa desse desafio! Conheço muito pouco (muito pouco mesmo) do Genesis, e esse album foi uma surpresa agradável... Vou ouvir mais

Grievous Angel

Gram Parsons

5/5

Exile On Main Street

The Rolling Stones

4/5

Eu gosto desse albúm, nada contra, mas sou da geração MTV: escutei tanto determinados artistas que hoje não suporto mais nem ouvir o nome... O Rolling Stones é esse caso! :-(

Green Onions

Booker T. & The MG's

Que soooooooooom, que soooooooooooom! Maravilhoso, perfeito!
