The Score by Fugees
Sep 21 2023

90s hip hop, nice mood. Some high level covers (no woman no cry, killing me softly). Ok to listen in a Hip Hop mood :)

Moondance by Van Morrison
Sep 22 2023

Easy listening. Surprised by the variety of styles.

Horses by Patti Smith
Sep 25 2023

rough/raw rock, lyrics are probably ok. might be attiring for a late teenager-early 20s person.

Pearl by Janis Joplin
Sep 27 2023

Wow, Janis! What a voice. I think some are covers. I like the vibes, blues/rock some gospel (mercedes benz). A shame you leave us so young.

Hounds Of Love by Kate Bush
Sep 28 2023

Firs time I hear Kate Bush, (only one listening). I liked her style, many things happening on her songs. Pop/soft rock (?)

Go Girl Crazy by The Dictators
Sep 29 2023

Punk, early punk? If in a punk mood, a very nice albul. 3,5 stars. (REally like the intro "The next big thing" a little bit like progressive rock)

Music in Exile by Songhoy Blues
Oct 02 2023

Yeah, good Blues! Starting in the middle of album is Mix Blues/African Musica, which I liked .

Tea for the Tillerman by Cat Stevens
Oct 03 2023

As I grow up I like this album more an more... (currently 37 y). Much wisdom, lovely intimate tunes..

Oct 04 2023

Electro. Yes, I like it it's very fine, 3,5 stars? 4 maybe too much. Also really like the last volcal son "Stagger" with its imperfections and all..

Transformer by Lou Reed
Oct 05 2023

Yes, some nice songs/classic. But I am not a fan of the style :(. 3,5 Stars

Moving Pictures by Rush
Oct 06 2023

Great discovery. Progressive Rock from the late 70s/early80s.

In Rainbows by Radiohead
Oct 09 2023

Great, Radiohead produced this disk. I remember I downloaded the version legally and free from their website. A good album, not the best Radiohead album. 3.75.

25 by Adele
Oct 10 2023

Nice Voice Adele, not that much my stile I would give a 3,5. I listen to this a bit whent it came out. Havent paid that much attention to the lyrics...

Zombie by Fela Kuti
Oct 11 2023

Amazing Kuti, afican beats and trumpuet, a little bit more than a four. Expensive Shit.

Country Life by Roxy Music
Oct 12 2023

I have never listended to Roxy Music, I like it.. Elvis vibes in one of the singers from time to time. Again this is a 3,5, but to be fair to the rest of my notes, I will put a 3.

Life's Too Good by The Sugarcubes
Oct 13 2023

Ok garage rock, a bit of punk, some cranberries vibes. 2,50, but to be fair with the rest of my starts this will be a 2.

Blunderbuss by Jack White
Oct 16 2023

Yes, I ike it a modern (art/blues?)Rock. Maybe a 3,5 (rounding up or down?)

Violent Femmes by Violent Femmes
Oct 17 2023

Ok rock, soft punk rock, it is not a french group :). 2,75

Channel Orange by Frank Ocean
Oct 18 2023

Some cool tunes, soft hip hop / RnB; I liked the most "Super Rich Kids". Some Stevie wonder vives (in his voice..). Ok.

Since I Left You by The Avalanches
Oct 19 2023

Multitude of sound. Only listened one time sorry. Unfortunately I did not found anything exceptional/remarkable :(

Oct 20 2023

sorry. maybe I would appreciate this in my 20s. Songs are repetitive, based on riff or sample; some lyrics sometimes (which I did not listen to carefully). Barely any melody. I just see that this stile is "noise rock " indeed . Not for me.

Bitches Brew by Miles Davis
Oct 23 2023

3,5 , I like jazz an Miles. I know this record has historical importance and I enjoy it, specially track 2 bitches brew. But maybe it is on another level which I am not yet to fully appreciate it.

Fear Of Music by Talking Heads
Oct 24 2023

Late 70s (sounds like 80s) rock (post punk?). Yeah, I like it, though It may sound monothematic. 3.4.

Raising Hell by Run-D.M.C.
Oct 25 2023

A 2.6. A late 80s (90s for me) souvenir of cool rap.

After The Gold Rush by Neil Young
Oct 26 2023

I just discovered I like Neil Young. It would be a 3.5+ The jewell for me "Don't let it bring you down". On a second "Southern Man". Yes, atypic voice, very intimate. I will get back to this album.

At Folsom Prison by Johnny Cash
Oct 27 2023

I would have to listen to this again. Probably the lyrics are good :). On a first listening (I do not regularly listen to us-folk). Within his genre, a classic I guess :)

I listened to this a few times when I was in my early 20s, but could never feel it grow into me (I prefered more the Clash, London calling). I like the hymn "God save the queen", and many tunes are classics. 3.5-

At Fillmore East by The Allman Brothers Band
Oct 31 2023

I listened this in my 20s, I like blues. "Whipping post" blew my mind (that song is 5/5). Overall a great live album, some nice rock electric blues, and improvisation. A solid 4 (if you like blues )

Let's Get Killed by David Holmes
Nov 01 2023

Sorry, did not like it much nothing that memorable. Electro (soft, with some good samples). Background .

She's So Unusual by Cyndi Lauper
Nov 02 2023

Yes, quite nice 90s POP sound/songs, I would put a 3,50, but 4 is too much (not my favourite style).

Caetano Veloso by Caetano Veloso
Nov 03 2023

I like early caetano, but this is not one of his best. A good experience though.

Teen Dream by Beach House
Nov 06 2023

Roc Pop, some synths. Good to relax. 2,5 stars. Up to 3.

Odessey And Oracle by The Zombies
Nov 07 2023

Nice discovery. Psycodelic Rock from late 60s. My cup of tea. 3,7. Up to 4.

Rocks by Aerosmith
Nov 08 2023

An Early Aerosmith, Ok . 3,4.

Wild Is The Wind by Nina Simone
Nov 09 2023

Beautiful voice. need to listen again (and again.. and again).

Foo Fighters by Foo Fighters
Nov 21 2023

(I love nirvana). Good first one, 3,5.

Nov 22 2023

I discovered this group. Very nice 80s rock pop, some funky rythms too. 3.5

Nov 23 2023

This and Parachutes the best of Coldplay (I prefer Parachutes). Biased a bit I listened this on ma late teens , 4/5. I really prefer this 'early' coldplay (closer to radiohead)

At San Quentin by Johnny Cash
Nov 24 2023

3 stars, I would have to listen more attentively to the lyrics. Folk is not my style aprarrently...

Songs Of Leonard Cohen by Leonard Cohen
Nov 27 2023

Ok, maybe I am not a fan of cohen. The lyics must be good.. 2.5

Guero by Beck
Nov 28 2023

Ok funky ok.

The Queen Is Dead by The Smiths
Nov 29 2023

Did not know the smiths. Nice 80s sound, 3.5 start. I will listen again :)

Stephen Stills by Stephen Stills
Nov 30 2023

YEs I like this 3.5 rounded to 3.

16 Lovers Lane by The Go-Betweens
Dec 01 2023

another 80s sound indie rock

Dirt by Alice In Chains
Dec 07 2023
Golden Hour by Kacey Musgraves
Dec 11 2023

Not my style, she has a nice voice so I will give a 3

Homework by Daft Punk
Dec 12 2023

its good, but they became better

Treasure by Cocteau Twins
Dec 14 2023

Fairy-like vives (kinda like Enya), angelical duo. From the 80s, I like this. 3.5, rounded up.

Tanto Tempo by Bebel Gilberto
Dec 15 2023

Nice new Bossa

Funeral by Arcade Fire
Dec 19 2023
The Man Machine by Kraftwerk
Dec 20 2023

amazing. still modern (...almost)

The Gershwin Songbook by Ella Fitzgerald
Dec 21 2023

I listened to the "best of" 44 min version on Tidal. Amazing 4,5. However the three hour version might be guilty of repetitivity (will listen a weekend with time). I guess it will be a 4 strar album.

Low-Life by New Order
Jan 31 2024

3.5, some nice songs. but in general not my style

Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys
Feb 01 2024

4.5, but lets give it a five.

3 + 3 by The Isley Brothers
Feb 02 2024

amazing funk

Boston by Boston
Feb 06 2024

I did not know Bostom. Maybe 'more than a feeling' sounded familliar. Amazing.

Clandestino by Manu Chao
Feb 07 2024

I grew up with this, and I speak spanish. The lyrics are very important; I will have to give it a 5. But for a non spanish speaker (and no attachment) maybe this would be a 3,5

Hard Again by Muddy Waters
Feb 12 2024

Electric Mud, though I like more the earlier albums :)

Kid A by Radiohead
Feb 28 2024

Amazing. 4.5.

Feast of Wire by Calexico
Feb 29 2024

I liked the sound, will listen again.

xx by The xx
Mar 05 2024

3.5

So by Peter Gabriel
Mar 06 2024

3.5

Red Dirt Girl by Emmylou Harris
Apr 03 2024

2.5 , not my style.

Raw Like Sushi by Neneh Cherry
Apr 05 2024

A testament from a past era. Does not stand well the test of time IMHO. 2 or a bit more.

Hybrid Theory by Linkin Park
Apr 08 2024

Part of my late teenage years, was not super fun (I prefered more Korn, Limp Bizquit). But deserves at solid 3/5.

Blackstar by David Bowie
Apr 09 2024

Wow. I like 60s70s English Rock. But not in particular David Bowie. I like Jazz and I like Radiohead. This album is great, no bullshit , not just another copy/past form the past years. Highly innovative, risky. I learn after listening it that was his last work. 4.5/5. Thank you David for giving us this last Gift.

Ingenue by k.d. lang
Apr 10 2024

Amazing, I loved her voice and the style (soft). Also the song "Constant Craving" resembles "Anybody Seen My Baby?" by the Rolling Stones ( the stones got inspiration?), already listened 2 times, will listen again...

Hunky Dory by David Bowie
Apr 11 2024

4.5 but rounded up. Nice variety and many classics... my favourite "Life on Mars?", thank you Bowie

Heaux Tales by Jazmine Sullivan
Apr 12 2024

not my style girl :(

Jazz Samba by Stan Getz
Apr 15 2024

Perfect fussion of bossa nova and jazz, thank you getz/gilberto

The Fat Of The Land by The Prodigy
Apr 16 2024

4.0++ Ive been listening to this albun since my 20s, great one prodigy (saw them live once, lots of energy.

In The Wee Small Hours by Frank Sinatra
Jun 28 2024

4.5 up to 5. A beauty to listen to sinatra's voice. Maybe a bit reperitive? In any case, I would listen many more times before dying.

Physical Graffiti by Led Zeppelin
Jul 01 2024

I listen to this in my early 20s, a heavier Led Zep. Love manyu songs: In My Time of Dying, Trampled Under Foot, Kashmir, In the Light, Ten Years Gone.... 5 stars for a hard rock fan

Lost In The Dream by The War On Drugs
Jul 02 2024

Like it but... yes, a bit monotonic.

Deserter's Songs by Mercury Rev
Jul 03 2024

did not liked it not in the mood maybe.. 80s rap/hip hop, with world music (afican percission etc). not timelles IMHO.

Duck Rock by Malcolm McLaren
Jul 04 2024

did not liked it not in the mood maybe.. 80s rap/hip hop, with world music (afican percission etc). not timelles IMHO.

Station To Station by David Bowie
Apr 11 2025

First time I heard it. Yes, I liked it.. I will be back to it. Thank you David Bowie from mid 70s

Amnesiac by Radiohead
Apr 14 2025

Amazing, maybe Kid A best, but this is 4.5 stars. I may be biased becayse I listen to this on my 20s (not two decades later). Still holds.

Blood On The Tracks by Bob Dylan
Apr 15 2025

3.7 , First time hearing it (long time beatles fan, and around that era, not particularly Bob Dylan's fan). Yes, I like it, lyrics are great (add a lot to the artifact), I like the folky style of dylan. And I also get that Dylan's way of singing is not for everybody... (I did not liked it at the beginning, but the power of his lyrics made me overcame that). Will listen again :)

Songs From The Big Chair by Tears For Fears
Apr 16 2025

Yeah 80s songs, I grew up in the 80s-90s, and discovered this musing a bit later, transports me to that age, a bit nostalgic. I will give a 4 even if is around a 3.7. But has several nice songs.

Shaka Zulu by Ladysmith Black Mambazo
Apr 17 2025

Yes, intereseting a 3.5! Would listen again.

Infected by The The
Apr 18 2025

3.5. 80s sound but as of 2025 still sounds fresh. I was born in 80s so a bit of nostalgia. Very nice album, will listen again, good discovery, I like the background chorus with women voices. The lyrics I did not pay attention 100% and the parts I have are very good lyrics (sour, critic, political, loneliness), so 4 stars instead of 3, and will listen again for the lyrics :). Voice sounds a bit like early 90s INXS (so this is precursor).

Abbey Road by Beatles
Apr 21 2025

5/5. No need to listen, through I listened again (2019s Remix). In my late 30s, I discovered the Beatles since a kid with the cd's from my father (past masters v1), as a teenager got access to mp3, and buy the late 80s cds.. so my reference is the stereo version from that cd's, listened on an early 90s yamaha. Amazing, this album is on the top 10 ever... "And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love.. you make"

Machine Head by Deep Purple
Apr 22 2025

4.5, but transforms into a 5 if you discover this as a teenager or early 20s (I hope you do). Listened this album on cd in my early 20s. Highway Star what an opener, Smoke on the Water (a classic), and my favourite "Lazy", jazzy, bluesy, and I like/love the organ (Hammond b3 organ I am reading) (that is present in many songs, accompanying or completing the guitar). One of the foundational albums of Heavy Metal. Almost all songs are very good.

Club Classics Vol. One by Soul II Soul
Apr 23 2025

2.5... late 80s early 90s sound, not timeless, some beats and synthesizers sounds... Dates (repetitive electro beats)... Hip hop, soul, rnb (good). However, 3 stars because the melody/harmonics of the songs sang by the ladies/women are actually impressive. Human voice can not be topped. Do not know if I'll listen again, but good artifact of the late 80s.

Sound Affects by The Jam
Apr 24 2025

3.5. first time I heard the jam. I like the beatles , pink floyd and the clash.. I think I am in the mood for this, I give a 4. Many good songs mixed with other meh.. the closing one is very good, as "that's entertainement" (I loved the demo tape version). Post punk, sounds as moder as some 21st century groups.

Swordfishtrombones by Tom Waits
Apr 25 2025

First Tom Waits album I hear.. Crazy, Different, I think it's Ok. I like the brass sounds.. certainly something different. Not for every mood, not for everyone. 2.80.

Tommy by The Who
Apr 28 2025

3.5. a classic, I listened in my 20s, but I realize I rarely listened to the whole album. It i s a bit long.. some songs are just repetitive (just to move forward the story I guess). As of today, and to respect many 4/5 albums that are more consistent I gave Tommy a 3 (3.49 if you wish). Some very good songs, chords, and emotions, inspirational I guess for many groups to come too.

Rumours by Fleetwood Mac
Apr 29 2025

Dreams, one of my favourite songs of all time.. the bass , the drums, the voice... Many other hits. I agree with many album full of hits, easy listening, seems short. To be fair 4.75/5.

Cloud Nine by The Temptations
Aug 01 2025

Ok, varied. Easy listening. Maybe not in the mood 3.3 (Listened two times).

Meat Is Murder by The Smiths
Aug 03 2025

I liked the lyrics (4). Musically a 3.few stars. I also liked the Album's title track. And the depness "That joke isn't funny anymore" (close to home?). However, I am not sure I would re-listen this album (maybe if in a depressing mood). Not a fan of the style neither of singing, but at least is quite unique. This would be a 3 stars album.

Aug 04 2025

Listened late teenager , early 20s . And I love Pink Floyd (discovered almost chronologically) . So a bit biased. I enjoyed the album a lot on that age of my life, travelling with InterstellAr Overdrive/Astronomy Domine... and the funny Bike/The Gnome, etc. I would put a 5. But to respect other more rounded 5-star albums, and trying to evaluate objectively this album, I'd put 3.5 , rounded to 4 for sentimental reasons.

Aug 05 2025

Fist time listen. Even if I know Queen 20+ years (mostly greatest hits and two big live concerts, and first album). Wow, more rocky than latter queen, but we already have the signature in a few songs, some beautiful melodies there. 3.5 but in the mood, I wnjoyed it a lot (listened two times)

Exile In Guyville by Liz Phair
Aug 06 2025

Raw Power. Intimate. Vibe of early Nirvana (same time), so very innovative for the time. It would sit good with people in it's teens, 20s. Sadly, I discovered this now. I liked it, listened two times. Maybe will listen again. 3 stars Liz.

KIWANUKA by Michael Kiwanuka
Aug 07 2025

Amazing. Fresh but with a 70s rock heritage... It is a 4.5 but I will promote to 5 to give Michael K. More visibility. I discovered him with a cover of crazy little hearth in youtube, a solo like those od David Gilmour onntop Pink Floyd. Thanks for this album!

Architecture And Morality by Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark
Aug 08 2025

Mmm.. ok, 2.8. some Kraftwerk vibes.. Nothing too memorable for me. Maybe need more listenings (I listened 2.5 times...).

The Chronic by Dr. Dre
Aug 09 2025

I listened this in my early 20s, being non native english speaker , did not understand all the lyrics... But I liked the beats. I guess is a relic of that time, even if as some comments says the lyrics might be cancelled today, it os worth a listen specially if you are in your early 20s...

Odelay by Beck
Aug 11 2025

Eclectic. A lot to unravel (if you wish). Can be long, has ups and downs. Many stiles. It is OK Beck! Liked the (Beatle's Taxman inspired bass line of "The New Pollution").

On The Beach by Neil Young
Aug 12 2025

Yes, a slow burner I think (though I listenes 1.5 times). The two songs with "blues" on the title plus "On the Beach" my highlights though also the wnd of the disc was nice. 9 songs. Maybe I will listen again. My first Neil Young Album.

White Light by Gene Clark
Aug 13 2025

Soft Folk Rock. Was a pleasant listening... Nothing too remarcable, but just had a good time listenign to this close to the sea. 3/5.

Moss Side Story by Barry Adamson
Aug 14 2025

I like films. I liked this, though I listened as background music while reading... Catch my attention a few times. Noir film soundtrack. "I dig it", as other said. 3 stars.

Traffic by Traffic
Aug 15 2025

Yes, I knez the opening song, funny/childish, pleaseantly surpised with some "deep cut" tracks, I will give a 2,8 stars. Maybe will listen again, but not ming changing.

At Mister Kelly's by Sarah Vaughan
Aug 16 2025

Wow amazing voice. I hesitated for a 5 stars, 4.5. It is like being there, also some funny accident in a song. Will listen again, with significan other better. Thank you Sarah ! (an musicians!)

Low by David Bowie
Aug 17 2025

Complex album. First listen I did not liked much/at all, sounded like some rolling stones the opening track, then some instrumental, too much too flashi.. however, I gave a secong and even third listening, and it grows on you. It will not be more thatn a 3,5 starts. But to be frank with the other records I judged on a first listenint this is a 2 star. Definitely not my favourite Bowie album.

Signing Off by UB40
Aug 18 2025

Amazing debut album from UB40. Known "Food from Thought" from early 20s, my favourite. Overall great mood, and apprarently lyrics very good (need to listen more closely.. Tatcher UK depression). Tempted to put 5 starts, but 4.40.

Abraxas by Santana
Aug 19 2025

Wow, I grew up with this so a bit biased, I will have to give 5 stars. It's been around a decade at did not liste and there are so many amazing songs.. alo latin blood so this speaks to me. the rythm is amazing (drums). Se acabó! (It is finished!). 5 stars (4.5 rounded up)

Talking Timbuktu by Ali Farka Touré
Aug 20 2025

3 stars. Yes very interesting, I like the drums , the singing, and the guitard. Can get repetitive? maybe. but a good listen 2.8/5.

Aug 21 2025

3.5 but let's round up because was an agreable surprise. Psychodelik folk something like that.. some songs I really appreciated.

Rock Bottom by Robert Wyatt
Aug 22 2025

Interesting, 3 stars. Than you Robert, very personal.

Chirping Crickets by Buddy Holly & The Crickets
Aug 23 2025

4 star mostly for historical reasons, if not would be around 3. I love The Beatles, and Buddy Holly was big inspiration to them, I like some songs of him too.

Vivid by Living Colour
Aug 24 2025

What a pleasant surprise.. Hard rock? Sounds 80s but also already 90s, I like the basss, the guitars, the voice.. 3.75, I already listened two times... Nice energy. (first time I listen to "Living Colour"). Thanks!

Daydream Nation by Sonic Youth
Aug 25 2025

Calles "noise rock" interesting.. A lot of sound coming instead, more appeal would have been if I have discovered this in my 20s (not the case) . I like it though not my favourite things. 3 Stars.

Bookends by Simon & Garfunkel
Aug 26 2025

Okish, but too similar for me. I bet the lyrics must be great but I did not gave the tiem they deserve. Mrs Robinson a hit of course 3/5.
