Slow and ploddy Psychedelic Rock with iconic album cover featuring plenty of random filler and blase songs. With all the good reviews this feels Like a Case of the emperors new clothes.
This jazz-rock album is like an impeccably set dinner table—gleaming, ornate, and perfectly arranged—but so focused on presentation that it forgets to serve anything truly satisfying.
From okaish Psychedelic Rock to boring Blues.
HipHop R&B. Strange. Interesting enough combination to listen once.
Konfuser Pop-Funk.
Sehr psychedelisch langsame Musik. Ein bisschen wie Weltraumklänge. Meist ohne Vokals, die als solche erkennbar sind, Ausnahme Agaetis Byrjun.
Rockiger Soundteppich. Einige bekannte Songs (bspw. Fell in Black Days, Black Hole Sun, Spoonman).
Rap. Nichts für mich.
Rockiges Album. Heute Standard. Highlight ist der Song Orgasmatron.
Mit dunkler Stimme in Singer-Song-Writer-Manier eingeladen in eine ruhige Folk Rock Ecke zum verweilen.
Singersongwriter Gedudel.
Mediokrer Postpunk.
Interessanter Singer Song-Writer Instrumental Rock.
Pop hooks and electronic accents make it exciting mainstream, Highlight "Bad Blood". Nice and easy listening.

Wenig mitreißendes Singer-Song-Writer Gedudel.
Klassischer Rap.
Passables Elektroalbum
Mittelmäßiger Alternative Rock. Klingt leider oft verwaschen.

Mediokres Rockalbum.

American HipHop. Not hoping my way.
Durch den Charakter Dr. Octagon, einen mörderischen, extraterrestrischen, Zeitreisenden Gynäkologen und Chirurgen mit sehr unterschiedlichen Tracks spannend und musikalisch verdaulich. Trotzdem noch Rap/HipHop.

Seichter Art Rock. Schwer durchs ganze Album zu hören.
Grunge seems to feel like scratching a blackboard for me.
Slow, boring Folk.
Irritating Hard Rock, especially while navigating in traffic.
Mostly noisy hard Rock. Most interesting spheric/ambient sounding instrumental is "Spiders and Vinegaroons".
Alternative Rock, which reminds me of my first close relationship as this album was offen playing in the background. Still makes me sad hearing it today.
Okaish new wave. Wouldn' listen again.
Trashiger Punk Rock.
Trying symphonic Rock to Post Punk and failing both. Most well known song might be "The Killing Moon" (movie Donnie Darko").
Obviously "Billie Jean" and "Thriller" are some well known classics. Apart from that the album feels mediocre.
Anstrengend hektischer Drum and Bass on four CDs.
Boring swamp Rock.
Okaish psychedelic Rock. Fine as background music.
Entspannt jazziger R&B, der leider weder mitreißt noch zum Wiederhören wollen einlädt.
Belangloser Blues Rock.
Schrammeiliger Industrial Metal.
Progressive Avant Pop. Most well known song is "Bohemian Rhapsody".
Uninteressanter Art Rock.

Sounds like a 1940s movie musical. African music seems not be something I will revisit.
Underwhelming Psychedelic Rock. At its best it sounds like Ambient.
Underwhelming Chamber Pop. Wouldn't listen again.
Mediocre Progressive Metal.
Neither Rap nor Rock it looses in both ends.
Experimental Pop, which apparently means excellent soundscape ruined through mediocre vocals.
Confusing mixture of Sounds apparently attempting to create Psychedelic Rock.
Electropop worth to listen once or twice.
Mediocre alternative HipHop. I liked some tracks more Like "Ready or Not" but probably won't relisten.
Was kept waiting for the good parts of Pop so probably not everything is bad.
Generic still not Bad Britpop. Relistend twice before being able to decide in this review.
Can't seem to decide if it wants to be Glam Rock or Hard Rock (Screamy parts and guitar aerobics).
HipHop R&B. Strange. Interesting enough combination to listen once.
Mediocre modal Jazz. Didn't even like it as background music.
Weird sappy Folk.
A lot of uninspired Country Blues.
Long, Ornate, obnoxious orchestral flourishes and choral singers in Orchestral Pop
Good beat, unmotivated vocals. The last song "Decades" is better because the vocals are less prominent.
Passabler Rock. Werde ich dennoch nicht noch einmal hören
French house and electro built from distorted synths, pounding four-on-the-floor beats, compressed samples, and occasional vocals feels like walking into a nightclub where the sound system has been turned up far beyond what the room can comfortably contain. The sheer force is impressive at first, but for me the constant distortion and repetition soon become more monotonous than exciting. There is a strong sonic identity here, yet I found myself standing mostly outside the energy rather than getting swept up in it.
A lot of old times Classics of psychedelic and eletronic Rock, e.g. "Time to pretend". I will relisten.
Slow to boring Country Folk.
Okaish East Coast HipHop.
Annoying sappy Jazz.
Orchestral Pop sounding like a sound deep-pile carpet. Unfortunately Not available in Deezer.
Art Pop featuring mostly repetitive bad lyrics and poor singing.
Simply bad alternative Rock. Wanted to turn it off troughout the album.
Okaish psychedelic Rock I wouldn't relisten to.
World seems to sound discordant and a bit droning. Also: Not available at any streaming service.
Half raw Alternative R&B instead of yummy half-baked.
Seichter progressive Rock.
Mäßig interessanter Country Blues.
Some parts feeling more like Samba music some like HipHop I just didn't get into it.
At best mediocre alternative Rock. Apparently that's called grunge.
Seichter Pop.
Piercing vocals in a Pop, R&B Smoothie Maker. I won't relisten.
A lot of screaming apparently makes Trash Metal.
Lonely, desolate, gloomy, depressing and dark. Like a Soundtrack to a monochrome movie. Okay to listen to once.
Whiny Americana. Wanted the album to finally end.
A guy on vocals & guitar with a hired rhythm section. It’s not a band. It's not really bad but neither good. Won't relisten to this Power Pop.
A mix of good psychedelia with mediocre proto punk/metal and Sometimes enjoyable soundscapes making this Experimental Rock.
Okaish Art Rock. Most well known song is "Psycho Killer".
Okaish eletronica. Feels Like in between Organ music and instrumental.
A capella, instrumental, elektronica Mix. Okay to listen once.
Lots of Art Rock. Most well known song probably "Lucy in the Sky with diamonds".
Sounds like a very scratchy experimental rock opera. It's difficult to listen for a long time. At the same time I Imagine it should feel better since it's opera.
Okaish Folk Rock would Not relisten.
Droning, monotonous with a lot of enthusiasm on the artists Side but not mine apparently makes this post punk
Blues Rock apparently means loosing the part which makes Rock fun and the part which makes Blues heartfelt.
Faust's Krautkrock goes from okaish electronica to droning noises, distortions and cricket chirps. Unsettling enough to wanting to quit the album half way.
The obnoxious equivalent to interpretive dance apparently is experimental Rock.
Bland, repetitiv, trying futuristic synths. It appears as though it can't decide if it's Rock or Funk.
British Beta electronic Rock.
Feels like simple, repetetive and moody Rock.
Whiny Psychedelic Folk.
Uninspired, generic, canned smooth Soul.
Talky alternative Country.
Synthesizer-Pop with whiny lead vocals, sappy backup vocals and piano rhythms.
Feels like generic Progress Rock, easy to forget.
Some okaish New Wave. Most well known song is "Message in a bottle".
Progressive Rock I can't seem to place. While thinking of it being music played on a carousel ride while the horses go up and down as well as a Renaissance fair both doesn't entirely fit. Will not relisten.
Monotonous New Wave failing to hold my attention. Don't plan in listening again so probably "not next time around".
Quiet Contemporary Folk. As described before a bit repetetive. Most well known song is probably "Suzanne".
Dull Indie Pop.
Average alternative Rock. Okay to listen to.
Good enough Rock, some songs being already familiar.
Alternative without the Rock, grooves grooveless, vocals occasionally amusing.
Easy to listen to and easy to forget alternative Rock. Like a greeting card. Nice to get unlikely to keep for a long time.
Okaish chamber Pop.
Okaish progressive soul. Unlikely to listen again.
Okaish Blues Rock. Unlikely to listen again.
Enjoyable enough alternative Rock. Will relisten.
Boring homophobic 80s Rock.
Proto Punk, which seem to have the creative concept seems to "see how many weird synthesizer noises one can throw against the wall to See If maybe some of them will stick.”
Scratchy Hardcore Punk.
Worthwile to listen to Alternative Rock Album which apart from the most well known songs "Personal Jesus" and "Policy of Truth" sometimes just annoyed me woth whiny lyrics.
Psychedelia Rock which sometimes a good start then gets blantly repetitive.
Monotonous and dreadful Punk Rock.
Apart from "London calling", which is probably the album's most well known song I didn't like this kind of Punk Rock.
A lot of mumbling periodically broken up by unimpressive guitar solos and unnecessary saxophone solos apparently makes up Heartland Rock.
Okaish Pop Punk. No need to relisten.
Ambient Techno with weirdly interesting sounds which still kept me listening the whole album. Surely not what I am looking for in music.
Mediocre Britpop. Okay as background noice in a pub.
Nice R&B vocals!
Pleasent and overly long Jazz album with lots of talking in between.
Art or Experimental Rock mostly letting you sort of swim in the sound (a haze of drone and jangly to screeching guitar line while the vocal wends its way around you).
Weak and jumbly HipHop.
Underwhelming, deteriorating Psychedeleic Rock.
Although "Even Flow" for me is one of the key songs I identify with Alternative Rock the album is at best okaish.
Extra long live Heavy Metal album rock with crazy long drum and guitar solos being okaish
Okaish alternative Rock. Didn't like the Metal parts.
Chamber Folk being sweet, repetitive, modern easy listening trip. Okaish Background noice.
Britpop which for me is the Definition of alternative Rock, e.g. the well known song Wonderwall. Got stuck here for a week relistening a couple of times always omitting the rating.
Underwhelming Americana.
East Coast HipHop consisting of beats where every track seems to hone in on a 3-note sequence and samples repeating endlessly rather than opting for a longer, more interesting loop.
Garage Rock sounding like a few old guys trying to "jam like the old days in the basement with a beer.”
Ambient consisting of 30 Seconds of processed guitar creating an ethereal ambient soundscape, then forgetting about that guitar, some hard-panned arpeggiated synth out of nowhere going in repeat
Sloppy Indie Rock. Sometimes being repetetive.
Boring Soft Rock.
Good enough alternative Rock.
Okaish Pop soul. Tremendous voice but after 21 the bar is high.
Background Jazz at a cafe, for listening with Attention it fades into boringness.
With this album Nirvana made my day and defined alternative Rock for me.
Generic R&B.
Repetetive harmonies make this folk album dull.
Glam Rock reminding me vaguely of a rock opera, like The Rocky Horror Picture Show while missing the iconic pictures.
Art Pop imposing you shall like but missing a distinctive sound, storytelling or voice.
Garage Rock being messy throughout generes Feeling Like ITS falling apartt with some fun parts (alternative riffs like a spring sound, some lines being catchy).
Whiny Blues Rock.
Pretentious Punk Blues.
Experimental Rock which is exhausting to listen to because of being more noisy than music more often than not with bearable parts of alternative.
Straining to listen to this amelodic Soul Hip Hop mix.
Hardcore hiphop I had to struggle to listen to as it is filled with unimaginative basic swearing missing lyrical, descriptive or witty art, which I grew to like in hiphop, although it certainly is not my genre.
Pleasant enough Indie Rock but ultimately relatively boring. There were a couple hints at interesting vocal lines early on. At least I've learned that string arrangements can't save any music for my ears.
Hard core hiphop which felt quite repetitive in the sample/beat in each song marking it hard to listen to.
Dull, waify hotel café jazz album which feels like the same cafe mocha served over and over. Might be ok in said café.
Afro Blues Rock having a steady rythm with drums, guitar and Melodic singing.
Experimental Jazz. Experiment failed in an overbearing, dissonant, disturbing manner.
Baroque pop featuring sappy Songs with elongated vocals and suffocating softness.
Alternative Hip Hop, which combines drums, jazz bass line and vocals in a way working for me as background music for a few tracks. I found myself bored after 3-4 tracks though especially as Hip Hop mostly appears as more speech performance than music to me.
Garage Punk being screamy, repitious and in deluxe version very long while song differentiation stays super fuzzy.
Indie Rock with blown out guitars which give a dry brightness, providing a fuzzy texture that swallows up most other contrasts in the middle while the songs themselves are simple, happy and poppy, almost 1950s bubblegum. Unfortunate combination for me.
This album is my first being one of sampledelia. It is a meticulously crafted record that is apparently comprised of thousands of samples, being more an encyclopedia of modern recorded music (though I recognize mostly nothing) than music itself; it disassembles and more or less reconfigures known music to this which I simply dislike. Who likes an encyclopedia being read out aloud?
Eletronica which sometimes felt normal mg for it's repetitiveness and sometimes exhiliarating (from atmospheric headphone music to meatier dance material). I couldn't make up my mind how to rate this album (3 or 4 stars). I guess I'll revisit so IT gets 4 stars!
Psychedelic-Folk crossed with Jazz Fusion trying to create a sappy mood.
Generic hard Rock.
Techno-Pop sounding like the soundtrack for a Disney movie that was way to sad and weird to make it to theaters.
Slow and ploddy Psychedelic Rock with iconic album cover featuring plenty of random filler and blase songs. With all the good reviews this feels Like a Case of the emperors new clothes.
Tropicália which didn't appeal to me in the least, not even as background music.
Apparently, I still understand English song lyrics when listening to music the same way I did as a child with a different native language—not at all. As a result, I barely notice the fixation on sex. The sound is decent but doesn’t inspire me to listen to the album again in the future. The best part of the album is probably the interesting instrumental interludes (which identify as Hard Rock).
Elektro Pop with quirky singing style, strange tempo, frequent langourous drift that fails to deepen mood and instead the longer it goes undermine the themes. Still very different to the 400 something albums on the list so far.
Another generic HipHop album.
Etheral wave where the guitars echo and create a wave of noise that create space in this otherworldly reality her music is set in. Frazer speaks in a mixture of English, Latin, and Gaelic among others, using the beauty of language as the primary instrument itself.
Ambient music I will not relisten.
Glam Rock feeling between comfortably numb and art on acid. Okay as background music.
Psychedelic and Garage Rock feeling all over the place with haunting, dreamy vocals to annoying stage shouting intertwined with swirling guitars and ethereal to country atmosphere. Some Tracks are good enough to revisit others annoy the hell out of me.
Annoyingly noisy and screamy Post Punk with dissonant, double-tracked vocals and weird chittering instrumentals.
Mediocre synth-pop with the meme status song "Take one me". Okaish as background noise. Wouldn't relisten.
Dull, melodic, smooth Art Pop.
Indie pop that’s cohesive, expansive sound to the record, but the songs don’t really accomplish anything, go anywhere or have any bite to them; it’s just a lot of sound that ends up being not very memorable. Like already buried and Standing randomly on a graveyard.
Okaish Post Punk.
From okaish Psychedelic Rock to boring Blues.
Unremarkable and dull Pop Rock.
From psychedelic rock to baroque pop and from being bored to thinking I might want to listen again. Result is I won't.
This Chanson sounds like the soundtrack of a musical straining my patience with all the drama in the music while almost nothing happens in stage.
Interesting enough, funky and messy Dancetronica one can only listen to in youtube apparently.
Left me relistening twice in Order to get a grasp of wether I like it or not. Apparently good enough Folk Rock.
Most well known song of this Hard Rock album is "Highway to Hell". Unfortunately the rst of the album basically sounds the same.
Experimental Pop lost in the same "Whoops, too much water in my watercolours" vein.
I had some difficulty grasping what's going in with this Trip Hop album. There's R&B, Soul, Hip-Hop, Electronica and even Reggae. Overall IT feels very weird and ambient while quietly seeping in when you are going about it.
Boring whiny Indie Rock.
Glam Rock being whiny ruined the album for me while the Rock part kept me hoping it might turn out differently listening to the whole album.
Half baked whiny Avant-Pop.
Black Metal with lots of noisy growling, the guitar is showy, fast and intricate at times.
Moody Downtempo for testing the limits of boredom.
Bad toothless elevator Jazz.
Orchestral Pop sounding like the sound track of a whiny musical.
British smothering things in borrowed Indian flavors marking this Indie Rock. Toneless guitar playing pentatonics, 2 chord songs, emotionless singing. Still I enjoyed having Something different in this 1001 album list. Would Not relisten though.
Straight up country music. Playing in a diner as background music would be appropriate.
MC5 has two cards to play: raw aggression and high energy. Marking this more Rock Fury than Hard Rock.
Pointless, repetitive orchestra synth swooshes making up Drum and Bass.
Electronica, chiefly interesting for its innovative and highly contrasting sound textures, but limited by the underwhelming melodies, with their restricted tonal range, a heavy emphasis on synthetic drums and bass lines and performed with an airy reverb-enhanced voice to match.
Sleepy country-sounding folk with a creep, cover.
Repetitive shallow Indie Rock apparently this is supposed to be called Dreams Pop.
Pop Rock being very bubble gum-poppy. Good background music.
Experimental, weird with electronica bells and whistles, arabic onomatopoeia making up some kind of world music.
Refreshing Garage Rock. Most well known is probably "Passenger" which I marked as one of my favourite song.
Mediocre New Wave boring me enough not to think of what bored me.
Pleasant enough Pop Rock. Will relisten.
Folk Punk made of whiny, winchy and screamy vocals straining my patience while having some promising instrumental parts which the rest of the album just doesn't live up to.
Obnoxiously repetitive. Halfway through, my ears were exhausted and I hoped it would end soon. Usually I like Electronica.
Mediocre Psychedelic Rock.
Good enough original Electropop album.
Soul album which fails in a fundamental Level as it doesn't measure up to the manicured artificiality of studio production. While it provides a raw, free expression of live performance, it features all the considerable weaknesses of all live recordings. This makes it difficult rate it highly.
Okaish Psychedelic Rock.
Completely disjointed Avant Pop.not totally awful but couldn't get into it with the different things tried on the album.
Pre-Metallica, mid-tempo heavy metal with low frequencies being cut and cliched vocals style.
Okaish a bit gloomy and to being what is expected of Country Rock.
Too experimental to get into World music.
So Gothic Rock consists mainly of shouting. No thanks.
Washed out, dragging, boring Garage Rock.
Neo Psychedilia being excellently composed electronically while at the same time the falsetto harmonization can get repetitive.
Somewhere between Indie, Rock and Punk. The unmotivated yprechgesang parts ruined the whole album for me though I like some other parts.
This experimental Rock reminds me mostly of Ambient while being too annoying for that. The tempo stays plodding and druggy with a somniferous vocal delivery to match while someone thought it would be a good idea to water it down with synthesizers.
Interesting Pop Rock album, featuring the Most well known song of Duran Duran "Hungry Like a wolve". Still didn't convince me to relisten to the whole album.
Okaish Psychedelic Rock, a bit too droney musically and too lovecrazy lyric wise to want to relisten though.
Simply annoying HipHop album.
Noise Rock straining my ears from the first minute on.
Proto-Punk apparently means repeating the same words over and over again, trying to sing over the same boring melody.
No dynamice changes, the same two chord progression over an over again appears to make up Reagge. Not for me. Mabey okay as background music in some venue.
While rythmically interesting songs are in there as well, and others having some fun riffs, I get heavily turned of by the gutteral shrieks and howls, which probably can be considered typical for Metal.
Chambers Pop having gentlly arrangended and performed, making the music glide through one ear and out the other, leaving no trace.
Unbearably smooth country flavored wallpaper.
World music being lively, upbeat, infectious and dance-able. While musicianship isn't bad it soon ticks all the boxes of resort background music.
Whiny and incoherent Indie Rock.
Aggressively boring Psychedelic Rock.
Boring whiny Americana.
Piano-driven emotional singer-songwriter.
Interesting start of the album though it turned into drunk pub karaoke rock pretty fast. Apparently post-hardcore.
Exhaustively polished Electronica.
Self indulgent prog rock.
Almost okaish Indie Rock. Unfortunately drifting of in monotonous sludge of distorted guitars and Corgan's petulant whine.
Pointless, annoying, way too long noise being called progressive Rock.
HipHop with a musician which spits slow and over articulates while still managing to mumble. The beats are mediocre and there’s not an identifiable flow.
TripHop Feeling all over the place but Not condistently good or Bad. Most well known song for me "Clint Eastwood".
Before listening: Excited as this is even known to me as part of HipHop history. Starting with a satiric disclaimer the album begins to tell Stories of Eminems Alter Ego Slim Shady. Typical HipHop only slightly better. After listening: Still not my thing but I will relisten and understand it's place on the album.
Overpromising and underdelivering ('elevator music') psychedelic soul.
Okaish Synth Pop.
Uneventful HipHop.
Progressive Rock being mostly random boring noise.
Good storytelling, kind of texas swing, Country music. 3,5 Stars. Will relisten. Wasn't Sure entirely if I dislike its softness.
Overly long Psychedelic Rock album with a few good songs ruined by bland fillers. Hoping it is over soon.
Faux gangsters having a strange fusion of hip hop and blues rock.
HipHop and Soul don't fuse well. Plain beats, vocals getting annoying very quickly especially when he tries sprechgesang.
Chanson. Lyric driven French music. It's hard to judge this without understanding the nuances of the language, since he's known for his wit and turn-of-phrase and it's hard to appreciate explicitly lyric-driven music in a language you don't understand.
Repetitive Cuban Rumba featuring conga drums broken up by random yells and loud samba whistles.
Not entirely sure about this psych-dance-gospel-dub smoothie.
It's hard appreciate HipHop which is explicitly lyric-driven in a language you don't understand.
Iconic album cover. Easy to listen to (Psychedelic/Hard) Rock album. Most well known and my favourite song in this album ist "Behind Blue Eyes".
Uninspiring lead guitar, growled vocals makes this Me[h](tal) for me.
Horror-core HipHop. Again with Slim Shady. First time around this had a kind of freshness to it.
Psychedelic Rock I wished would end a lot sooner than the album actually does.
Post Punk is apparently made up of mumbled vocals and electronica. I'd be okay with the electronica
Good enough groove and funk and then there's the HipHop part ruining it.
Power Pop going uppy downy on every syllable in the vocals and in the harmonies. Glad this is over now.
Interesting intro. Okaish pub Rock.
Generic Glam Rock.
Underwhelming nand forgettable psycheledic Pop, not necessarly all bad. (Almost?) Fully available in Deezer with bonus tracks.
Sleepy Jazz-Funk.
Psychedelic Folk Rock copying their style from the beatles, copying their lyrics from Bob Dylan.
Psychedelic Folk Rock copying their style from the beatles, copying their lyrics from Bob Dylan. That being Said the Synthesizer mentioned at the end of the album doesn't make it the best so far. I'd rather say not any better than the last one in my list
Isicathamiya seems to be a soft a capella with rich harmonies which stays repetitive.
Mixing R&B and Pop in a good Sense gives you "Son of a Preacher Man", which is probably the Most well known song of the album. The rest of the album stays in a mid-tempo soul sound that just isn't all that interesting.
Screamy pretentious (Experimental) Electronica. Relistening didn't change this view.
The songs on this blues rock album strike me as neither particularly good nor bad. I discount the idea of rating it based on legal issues (as in 'Little Girl') or accusations of cultural appropriation, as my assessment is focused solely on the music itself. That said, I fully support and encourage political and legal action where effective.
Feels like good enough Country Rock. Vocals are on Point, the songs come together as a unit without being all the same.
Weird, whiny orchestral Pop, which only might be bearably at a dive bar, or lounge, complete with spirits and smokes.
Interesting riffs, a lot of annoyingly screamy vocals, the tempo of the whole album making it energetic. Metal.
Weary of having xet another Psychedelic Pop Album to rate with the usual quiet jangly sound, the same shaky vocals, and the same ’60s Woodstock vibe.
Layered, dark, dense and dreamy trip-hop. Sometimes it drops from chilled to boring.
Clownish, directionless HipHop with overly long songs while flows and rhymes are instantly dated and. corny
Forgettable harmony-driven tracks make this Folk Rock album a bit tireing.
It gets in shouts you in the face, hast some interesting harmonies and guitar solos and the gets out. If that's what you like about Hardcore Punk give it a try, for me too screamy.
Slow pace, grindy voice, overly dramatic harmonies, obnoxious chorus, making it moderate Baroque Pop.
This Folk Pop album creates a wintry mood by uding slow-burning melodies, burbling, fingerpicked acoustic guitars, and somber pianos, which makes it unoffemsive. IT is supposed to feature nuanced lyrics, which seems to elude me even after relistening.
Synth Pop album featuring Soviet synth sound, industrial instrumentals layered with noise and disparate sounds, bouncy Pop elements, and vocals with loads of reverb and echo.
Dull Bossa Nova. Pleasantly aimless showtunes with an occasional tropical flavor.
The voice/vocals have a little pitch and dynamic range, but adequate control, which makes this album soulful. Can't decide if a few songs are misses (question is the album relistenable?) or the album features a lot of good songs (question should I only relisten thoses?). I'll give it four stars going with the first option for now.
Psychedelic und experimental Rock, which was a torturous listening experience. At times, I was checking my surroundings for Bad sounds because I found the experience to be that atrocious.
Unmemorable Psychedelic Rock. Unfortunately not meant to be listened to on headphones, because the complete switch between left and right ear for the guitar is super unpleasant.
Hardcore Punk which strained my ears for being very screamy.
Pretentious mess of experimentation with different generes, which doesn't work as an album for me.
Noisy, sometimes catchy, sometimes annoying, poppy, experimental Electronica.
It is a repetitive pop-punk fun with whiny vocals, catchy melodies and riffs while being far from a unique sound.
Chambers Folk consisting of a) A depressed man singing indifferentiable sounding melancholic, nostalgic songs b) while strumming an acoustic guitar to a pretty but generic easy-listening background.
Some good verses, choruses, chords and theatrical piano parts, mabey the Art in Art Pop kills it, mabey Bowie's voice is just too whiny sometimes, mabey ch, ch, ch change the annoying parts. Unfortunately this is my review after relistening twice.
Dated, mediocre Britpop album. Inoffemsive Overall.
Progressive Pop with a vocalists which wander aimlessly, rarely, if ever, approaching anything resembling a melody, let alone a legitimate hook while loosing me exhausted by trying to follow.
Dreary, very slow contemporary folk. Not my cup of tea.
Very slow nondescript Soul. The guitar playing is jazzy, clean, melodic, subtly interesting. The keyboards are good, though veering only slightly into synth cheese here and there.
Typical Country theme of women fighting for their men, who, ruined with drink, treat them ill. Great voice.
Inoffensive, dreamy, easy-listening Indie pop.
Proto-Punk with fitting riffs and nasal vocals, which mostly tend to sound the same after a certain point making it ok as background music in a bar.
Teen pop equaling the end credits of bad romance movies. The described reality of the songs is at best delusional. Most well known song is "Baby one more time".
This political HipHop sounds trite, boastful, and limp from a distance of over thirty years.
Sugary sweet indie pop about America.
Avant Pop having some dubstep elements, vocals being breathy and glitchy, often lingering there for the entire track while leaving the listener expecting more.
Progressive Soul album starting with a great groove getting extensively boring with extended vocals, instrumental stretches and a whole, spoken-word story.
Chicago Blues consisting of a standard bass line, noodling guitar solo and a lot of harmonica. Unfortunately this becomes rather repetitive and does not draw me back for repeat listens.
Repetitive, sometimes noisy annoying elaborate soundscapes with multiple countermelodies, in tightly controlled chord structures.making up Space Rock.
Apparently Big Beat originated partly in Electronica. It seems to be characterized by repeating loops and samples that just feel like they're background music to some computer game.
Boring inoffensive New Wave,which seems to be "fooling around".
East Coast HipHop with mumbled vocals, and repetitive beats. After the first song I was hoping it would end soon.
Misguided boring Folk.
Smooth Neo-Soul offering up every R&B-trope I know.
Lounge music which is okay as a background filler. Might be enjoyable to switch between the conversation you have, and the varied basslines (melody and tone) with some upright, some electric, and lots of synth bass everywhere.
Space Rock with seamless, atmospheric flow and textural layering.
Apart from a very interesting album intro which really got me excited the album ist typical Glam Rock, which is particularly slow and forgettable.
Aspiring to describe a mythical land some time past this feels laconic and dull. All of it making up Alternative Country.
Bad Chill-Out. While chilled at first it soon gets boring and repetitive more like being on hold to the customer service helpline for an hour and a quarter. It gets repetitive mostly cause it's loop based, sequenced, time stretched, processed (even the "solos") to the point of being predictable.
Trash Metal with good guitar riffs, Lots of screamy vocals and dated production. For me this makes it exhausting to listen to and I realize I probably would like it more in doses rather than a whole hour straight. Apart from that it wasn't good to listen to while running.
Noisy, edgy, heavy Sounds with atrocious, scratchy and monotone vocals making it Post-Hardcore.
Reggea mixed with ska/Punk and other stuff. It feels like mixing milk with lemon making both go bad while Feeling sounding very much the same all the time.
Mediocre Chamber Pop. Most well known song is the first one.
Random Rap motives mixed with Latin Music elements. While blending elements of different genres it never feels like more than the sum of its parts. This gives the songs a wiffliness, a lack of edge, a lack of bite, making them kind of boring and at the same time inoffensive.
Glossy, synthetic 80ths sound with cheesy organs, unnecessary saxophones, and an allegedly soulful singer making up my Sinthi-Pop album. Overall okay to listen to without feeling the need to relisten.
Cheesy, seemingly passionate and overall tireing vocals, themed young woman angst making up one 90s Alternative Rock.
Boring after dinner Pop Rock.
Okaish Country as background music in a bar.
Bass-heavy beats and dense linguistic acrobatics that create a dense carpet of sound I can't get trough.
Good instrumentation, sloppy vocals making up moderately impressive Punk Rock.
Glam Rock being mid-tempo featuring distinctive, overly-emotive vocals.
Mediocre Britpop. Sometimes likeable Alternative Rock parts sometimes annoying screamo vocals. Overall good guitar and drum work.
Relaxed soft Rock with good vocals and an engaging bassline.
Sometimes annoying, sometimes mediocre Pop, which follows along the lines of the album Cover, in which Nillson couldn't even be bothered to get dressed for the album or even name it properly.
Dream Pop, which sometimes feels accessible (being melodic, having mixed in organic element, synth loops) being slow and whiny (dreamy or experimental part?) at other times. Interesting enough to listen trough once.
Upbeat (sometimes oh cool sometimes straining my patience), playful New Wave album.
Dated Rock album with nice slide guitar parts and memorable tunes. Good as background music at the local bar
Some parts of this Post Punk are as publicly recieved "infectious in rhythm and guitar riffs, featuring kitschy lyrics, and party atmosphere" while others we're simply annoying (screamy, stuttering vocals).
Annoyingly experimental and slow Jazz, which feels like they are constantly warming.
Major key, mid-tempo, pretentious, semi-folk-rock-balladish things making up some, mediocre Experimental Rock.
Mediocre Hard Rock featuring raw energy, great guitar riffs, and some screamo vocals.
Jazz-Rock mostly giving of a dull vibe while the vocals are annoyingly stretched.
Grindcore apparently music bereft of melodies and vocals you can't understand.
Art Rock, which in parts is funky, weird and uplifting. Mostly though the album falls apart. A lot of the melodies seem to be all over the place. It screams for more structure to reign in the fun and crazy rhythms.
Hindustani classical music as a 50 minute solo in sitar.
Using strings, horns, piano, and vocal harmonies, and other components drawn from the orchestral and lounge pop of the 1960s, with an emphasis on melody and texture this Chambers Pop feels dull, folksy, lukewarm and inoffensive.
Mediocre quality recording with squeaky harmonica, uninnovative guitar and nasally mumbled vocals making up some leftover Folk Rock sandwich gone bad.
Difficult to listen to and straining my ears with noise, blips, feedback, guitar distortion, fragments of conversations.making up an Industrial album.
Annoying synth-pop with lots of beeps and boops like some old videogame music.
Well made HipHop with impressive lyrical deftness and flow while the instrumentation is funky and engaging. Too bad it's not my genre.
French Industrial Rock basically bringing angry French with his angry buddies pounding on their synthesizers. Again an album of this list straining my patience (591 and I never skipped an album and always listen trough all of it).
Folk Rock being folky and mellow. While nothing inherently wrong with this it bored to wishing it to end soon.
Urban bar Background music having a slow beat, and lyrics about fucking at night making this HipHop R&B.
Swing album having energy, gibberish and craziness to the lyrics.
Folk Jazz being slushy music with no real form. It's like she is rhythmically talking and there happens to be music playing on the background.
Started out as indie music and then devolved into Experimental nothingness.
Preaching, shallow Punk Folk.
Excexptionally empty, monstrously boring and dated HipHop album.
Good enough Alternative Rock background music.
PSychedelic Funk nade of cheesy keys, gated drums, a dreadful moaning vocalist, all saturated in reverb and thinned out.
Slow, boring country tinged Pop Rock.
Annoyingly incoherent, not very melodic Post Punk. I wanted to turn it of mostly during listening.
A syrupy contralto as vocals with lyrics as intravenous glucose made this Pop Album diabetic.
Great riffs, distorted guitar, harmonica and a lot of tempo changes made this Heavy Metal album enjoyable enough.
The Experimental parts were disapoointing the straight about meditation music was ok I guess.
Painful Art Rock.
Most well known song is "Come on Eileen". The vocals are delivered overly dramatic, feature a constant falsetto and every line ends with a forced vibrato.apparently that's supposed to be New Wave.
Repetitive instrumentals and looped samples with a constant and relaxed conversational flow, laid-back beats and elements of Soul making this HipHop Soul.
Simplistic political and social HipHop describing it's topics verbosely and being dated for obvious reasons.
Good enough Alternative Rock.
West Coast HipHop providing a monotonous listening experience by lacking development in the backing beats, in melody and in (cohesive) harmony, which isn't even slightly improved by engaging vocal rhythm and attitude producing unrelatable lyrics. I simply couldn't latch onto something so I tuned out of the music.
Soul music having aged badly, sounding very 80s with lots of tinny synths, sometimes shrill vocals, a percussive guitar, a tight bass line and sharp horn stabs.
Too fast too loud, too many wild and Speedy guitar solos and too much growling. Basically everything making this Trash Metal I guess.
Hard Rock album, whose most well known song probably is "The Boys Are Back In Town". Being a live recording it might give the fans something close to what they may remember from their own live experience. Since I fon't have that I'd rather listen to a studio version. Mabey I'd give a better rating then.
Minimalistic Electronica. The mechanistic repetition, the (subdued) pop melodies and sequenced electronic sounds and rhythms create the image of a trains mechanics as well as the movement and action limited passangers inside. Still feels a bit monotonous.
Good enough Folk Pop. Interesting touch with the African choral sounds.
Feels like a generic, boring old Pop album.
Nearly interesting Progressive Rock but stays a boring meandering mess.
East Coast HipHop with funky, repetitive beats and the very casual and sometimes very basic lyrics, which feels too long, and too repetitive.
Martial Industrial made up of a relentless marching beat and campy synths overseen by what can only be described as the voice of a coalmine turned animate. Unfortunately this wears think after half of the album.
Edgeless, boring, cold Rock.
Punk rock polka at it's best and Art Rock at its worst. Unfortunately only a few decent songs.
Background Electronica with good vibes and grooves. You just don't want to listen too closely because of its repetitiveness.
Okaish Southern Rock which perfectly goes to the Background of a bar there is not a lot of tempo variation.
Driving beat, ringing guitars, dark and moody themes make this Post Punk, which I enjoyed most of the time. Repeating the same line over and over again makes this a lot less enjoyable.
Slow, dull Psychedelic Rock.
Wird Psychedelic Rock with lots of narration and some okaish instrumental parts.
Unique, industrial, apocalyptic Krautrock, which expertly applies electronic instruments to create a feeling of uneasiness.
Slow and sappy Folk Rock.
Moody midpace inoffensive Neo-Psychodelia being dull.
Ambient Techno distressingky failing to be either.
Distressingly failing to be any of the attempted Genres (Electronic, Latin, Acid Jazz, Downtempo). Leaving me with dull being on hold in a contact line music.
Mostly sappy Country. Unfortunately the exceptions to this rule on this album are rare.
Dreamy Folktronica which was promising in the first 15 seconds then drifting off in the repetitve dullness of the rest oft the album.
An amalgan of hauntingly nostalgic vocals and Electro-Pop elements. The most well known song is "perfect places".
Generic dull dreadful Rock. Wanted to quit long before the first CD was over, being very disappointed it's not even close to the end in the first third of the second CD.
Desperate sappy Post-Britpop.
Irritating talk-singing with surf rock riffs making this some Kind of Post Punk.
Excited as I was from knowing this will feature one of the all time classic songs "Sweet Dreams" I got instantly and continuously disappointed by this Synth-Pop album.
Dull aimless mixture of jazz, soul, and spoken word making something like Soft Jazz.
From the viewpoint of a baffled vietnam veteran comes Soul, which features a series of relaxed grooves with a heavy bottom, filled by thick basslines along with bongos, conga, and other percussion. Although by popular opinion anmasterpiece I drowned in this dense soundscape.
Annoying cacophony of noise mixed with screamed German words making this some kind of Experimental Industrial.
Bloated Blues Rock often going into jams. Being a live album is devalueing the music.
The listener is greeted by a not-too-deep baritone, which is backed by orchestra with soulful horns and seductive guitar, creating something pompous and theatrical making this some Baroque Pop.
Bland boring Country Pop
Not a single interesting chord progression. Lacks atmospheric cohesion. Annoyingly uneben flow when syllables are forced into rhythms that feel unnatural. As if the lyrics and melody are at odds with one another, creating a jarring experience instead of something organically emotive. In short it's Folk Rock made in a way I dislike.
Smooth, unengaging dinner-party-background-music Jazz Fusion.
Good enough Ambient Techno.
Okaish R&B. Meaning the music has a hazy, introspective tone through a combination of zooming synths, a finger-snapped beat, and Sullivan's distinctive, slightly slurred and emotive vocal delivery.
Dreamy, melancholic, and slightly haunting New Wave. Good enough for background music, but sometimes something catchy draws you in, making you want to listen closely—only to turn back to the conversation almost immediately.
Root Rock which is partialy engaging and partialy mellowy boring. While sometimes there's a raw, ragged energy that pulls you in with jangling acoustic guitars, rough-hewn electric riffs, and Stewart’s gravelly voice, at other times I fehlt drowned by a warm sentimental touch.
Alternative Rock album, which leads by a good force of rock but only fragments of each song feel interesting.
Psychedelic Folk being dreamy and playful (singing being in a light, intimate tone that feels conversational and inviting) leaning more toward mystical wonder (Strings and unusual timbres) than heavy experimentation. Good enough to relisten If I'm in the mood.
Southern Rock epic mixing loud, (twin and triple) guitar-heavy rock with reflective, story-driven songs about Southern life and myth. Nice enough to listen to once or twice.
A raw, stripped-down hard rock sound full of swagger and muscle, driven by blues-based riffs, pounding rhythms, and snarling, soaring vocals.
Slow Country Folk being a sparse, haunting blend of country, blues, and folk, carried by slow tempos, spacious arrangements, and hushed, intimate vocals.
A slow, lush blend of folk-rock and grunge, built on distorted yet melodic guitars, sweeping rhythms, and impassioned, textured vocals, yet often slipping into something boring and forgettable.
An intimate, minimal blend of indie pop and electronic, built on sparse beats, muted guitars, and hushed, intertwining vocals that create a nocturnal atmosphere.
A dreamy, psychedelic blend of synth-pop and krautrock, built on motorik rhythms, swirling electronics, and ethereal, hypnotic vocals all of it simply annoying me to want to quit early.
A quirky, experimental blend of glam rock and art pop, built on jagged guitars, eccentric arrangements, and playful, unpredictable vocals that create a chaotic atmosphere.
A warm, rootsy blend of rock and folk, with sappy vocals making this Folk Rock.
Built on bright guitars, steady rhythms, and tender, close-knit harmonies this Rock'n Roll album creates something florid and boring.
Post Punk with fractured rhythms, angular guitars, and tense, eccentric vocals that create a disorienting, sometimes playful, sometimes claustrophobic atmosphere.
Grunge driven by drums, guitar and shouty snarling repetitive vocals and purposefully mediocre production quality.
My first from the Shoegaze genre. Soft airy vocals are submerged in layers of noisy, swirling, reverb-drenched guitars, where bright, chiming tones crash into waves of distortion. Overall my ears were strained.
This Soul album builds its grooves on deep basslines, steady funk-inflected drums, sparse guitars, gospel-tinged keys, and layered percussion. The vocals shift between intimate whispers, soaring gospel-like choruses, and urgent spoken word, while the lyrics focus on Black identity and empowerment, giving the record undeniable meaning. Musically I found it unappealing and it failedt to leave a lasting impression.
The sparse instrumentation consisting of muted horns, brushed drums and gentle strings frames the warm, weary vocals in late night intimacy fitting the lyrics describing the hearbroken limerent longing. While the described instrumentation and vocals seem sappy, the lyrics show a total lack of understanding the interpersonal dynamics of limerence.
A Sophisti-Pop album that drifts between lounge-like instrumentals with jazzy piano, crisp drumming, smooth guitar, and brass, and vocal pieces that shift from soulful crooning to casual, conversational phrasing.
This rock album tries unsuccessfully to showcase melodic guitar work, smooth vocals, and the playful use of a talk box that makes the guitar seem to “talk,” while giving you the feeling of being there by annoying you with audience noises.
This experimental rock album is hard to rate, with clattering percussion, distorted guitars, and gravelly vocals shaping unsettling songs about death, decay, and faith that are as abrasive as they are atmospheric.
This Afro-Cuban jazz album is challenging to rate, with a chaotic, frenetic energy stemming from vibrant brass, intricate Latin percussion, and driving bass woven into dense, celebratory arrangements. Perfect as a Soundtrack, for an evening out to dance, drink and watch people dancing to it.
This grunge album has a raw, abrasive energy stemming from slashing guitars, pounding drums, and anguished vocals that frame lyrics shifting between searing vulnerability and caustic irony.
This art rock album has a sleek yet experimental energy stemming with annoyingly glamorous vocals, entertaining lush keyboards, and jagged guitars wrapped in stylish, atmospheric arrangements that blur pop allure with avant-garde edge.
This art rock album is strikingly eclectic, with sharp guitar riffs, moody keyboards, and dynamic percussion shaping atmospheric arrangements that shift between angular intensity and brooding introspection, while the vocals deliver a theatrical mix of urgency, vulnerability, and sly detachment. Unfortunately this falls apart as an album for me although it has interesting parts.
This new wave album is abominable, with stiff, jagged guitar lines, clattering rhythms, and intrusive bursts of piano and saxophone creating a cluttered, uneasy backdrop for vocals that lurch between sneering sarcasm and grating exaggeration. The lyrics, though vivid and character-driven, come across more as abrasive caricature than engaging storytelling, leaving the whole record feeling noisy, uncomfortable, and hard to sit through.
This Art Rock album is gloomy and hard to engage with, built on sluggish, bass-heavy rhythms, muted guitars, and dim, overcast production that blurs its melodies into a murmur. The vocals, half-spoken and weary, match the somber tone but rarely rise above it, turning introspection into inertia. Though the lyrics reach for commentary on English decline and urban melancholy, the music’s heavy stillness makes it feel more numbing than profound.
This New Wave album is exhausting to endure, bursting with frantic horn lines, cluttered arrangements, and relentlessly shouted vocals. The energy is chaotic rather than invigorating, with every track competing for attention in a blur of brass and bluster. Though the lyrics aim for youthful rebellion and sincerity, the overblown delivery turns passion into noise, making the album feel more like an onslaught than a celebration.
This Blues Rock album is a powerful but uneven debut, bursting with raw energy and instrumental fire yet held back by uneven production and moments of indulgent blues interptetations.
This avant-folk album is lush and ornate in its sweeping harp arrangements and ornate orchestration. It unfolds like a grand, sappy Disney musical - beautifully detailed, emotionally towering and overly dramatic.
This electronic album is darkly atmospheric yet deeply captivating, built on pulsing synths, icy textures, and hypnotic rhythms that create a strange, intimate world.

Lush new wave and synth-pop built from shimmering keyboards, melodic bass lines, atmospheric guitars, and soaring vocals feels like staring into a glittering kaleidoscope that never stops turning—beautiful at first, but eventually dissolving into a single blur of color and light. The album is obsessed with atmosphere, layering texture upon texture until individual songs begin to lose their shape. Its dreamlike consistency is admirable, though for me it comes at the expense of memorability and emotional impact.
Orchestral MPB and Brazilian pop built from elaborate arrangements, fluid rhythms, lush instrumentation, and commanding vocals feels like being invited to an elegant theatrical performance where everyone else seems to know the script—impressive, dramatic, and strangely distancing.

The album's commitment to noise and abstraction comes at the expense of memorable songs or emotional engagement. While its influence is easy to imagine the listening experience feels more like endurance than discovery.
Gospel-infused alternative rock built from roaring guitars, piano, choirs, driving rhythms, and dramatic vocals feels like being trapped inside a revival tent where every emotion is amplified to biblical proportions—grand, passionate, and occasionally exhausting. The album constantly reaches for transcendence through volume, intensity, and scale, but for me its excess often overwhelms the songs themselves. What should feel cathartic often feels overinflated.

The album overflows with musical ideas, textures, and ambition. Its creativity is extraordinary, even if its fragmented nature constantly keeps me at arm's length.
Blues rock and garage rock built from marimba-driven grooves, raw percussion, piano, sparse guitar work, and expressive vocals feels like watching a street magician deliberately throw away half his tricks just to prove he can still hold a crowd—eccentric, unpredictable, and more interesting than consistently satisfying.

Desert blues and Malian folk built from hypnotic guitar lines, subtle percussion, earthy grooves, and weathered vocals feels like watching a vast landscape pass slowly by from the shade of a tree—patient, grounded, and deeply self-assured.

For me it's just an intense lack of focus.
Synth-pop and post-punk funk built from punchy drum machines, elastic bass lines, glossy synthesizers, and cool, controlled vocals feels like touring a gleaming corporate headquarters after hours while someone quietly explains why the entire system is rotten—stylish, intelligent, and more engaging than most of its contemporaries. The album balances danceable grooves with sharp social observation without sacrificing either. The constant beat combined with the pressing vocals still strains my attention.
Alternative hip hop built from warm soul samples, crisp boom-bap beats, turntablism, and tightly coordinated group vocals feels like watching a team of exceptionally skilled street basketball players effortlessly passing the ball between each other—while I am just watching the ball passed back and forth, occasionally impressed, but never fully understanding why anything matters. For me, the album plays out with that same sense of distance: competent, well-executed, but tactically opaque and emotionally flat, loosing my attention fast.

Singer-songwriter pop and satirical Americana built from piano-led arrangements, orchestral touches, subtle grooves, and character-driven vocals feels like flipping through a series of sharply observed postcards from a country that has decided to dress its sentimentality in irony—sometimes clever, sometimes just sappy, and for me more emotionally distant than affecting. The album constantly walks a line between warmth and commentary, but too often the emotional tone tips into something overly cushioned rather than incisive.
Conscious hip hop and West Coast rap built from soulful samples, restrained beats, and a constant flow of apathetic vocals feels like being read a diary written in a locked room—but from my perspective, the person reading it is so emotionally detached that I struggle to believe the writer is being fully honest, which keeps me at a distance instead of drawing me in.

Indie rock and chamber rock built from brooding guitars, slow-burning rhythms, atmospheric and orchestral arrangements, and weary baritone vocals feels like wandering through a city at night in heavy fog where every street seems to lead back to the same unresolved thought—moody, meticulous, and for me often more oppressive than affecting.
