Apple Venus Volume 1

XTC

5/5

Incredible from start to finish. "River of Orchids" sets the tone for an acoustic yet diverse and intense musical experience. "I Can't Own Her" was another highlight, although I think every song is worth listening to.

Innervisions

Stevie Wonder

5/5

Very beautiful album, impressed with "don't you worry 'bout a thing". In love with the synths and funky pianos

Axis: Bold As Love

Jimi Hendrix

4/5

Wasn't to interested at the start of the album but it picks up as it goes, liked very much "one rainy wish". Another highlight was "bold as love" with a great solo at the end. Obviously amazing guitars through the album.

In The Court Of The Crimson King

King Crimson

4/5

Very intense album, was not expecting to find songs i liked better than "21st Century Schizoid Man". First songs of the album felt like genesis to me. liked a lot "I Talk To the Wind"

The Velvet Underground

5/5

Always mesmerized by "Pale Blue Eyes". Loved the duality of the ballads and rock songs in the album. The way Lou Reeds voice (and the other band members) flows between the guitars. Big highlights for me where the ballads, like "Candy Says" and "After Hours".

L.A. Woman

The Doors

5/5

I have always loved this album. "riders on the storm" is one of the best songs ever written, the bass line creates a structure for the piano to travel around. Jim Morrison's voice keeps the album hypnotic in songs like "Love Her Madly"

The Downward Spiral

Nine Inch Nails

5/5

Heavy and amazing album. "Heresy", "Reptile" and "Hurt" where new highlights for me, specially the later. I remember listening "closer" when I was younger and I thought it was to much, but now a days i like it a lot.

Sunday At The Village Vanguard

Bill Evans Trio

4/5

Always like listening to Bill Evans, never heard this album before, "Alice In Wonderland" was great, the whole album is a jazz masterpiece.

Stardust

Willie Nelson

4/5

I happily fell asleep on the first listen, this is a good thing. I listened to it a second time today, never been a fan of country music but i enjoyed it a lot. Beautiful singing over very melodic songs. The whole album feels like a road trip.

The Next Day

David Bowie

3/5

I thought this album was very conventional in Bowie standards. Non the less i think it was well executed. I didn't enjoy it. Maybe i just had a bad day...

Oar

Alexander 'Skip' Spence

5/5

Amazing album, drags a little at the end. Still very masterful, similar to Bob Dylan or George Harrison

Freak Out!

The Mothers Of Invention

3/5

Frank Zappa, felt to me a little boring, interesting guitars

Come Away With Me

Norah Jones

5/5

Amazing album made me feel very calm. Classic pop romance, very smooth songs and unbelievable voice. Highly recommended.

Homework

Daft Punk

5/5

Incredible classic. I remember listening to "Around the World" with my cousins when i was young. Paid more attention to "Phoenix" and "Teachers" today, really enjoyed them. Intense electronic music, super repetitive but i think that's the whole point.

Fred Neil

4/5

Great folk rock, loved "The Dolphins" and enjoyed the whole album working. Beautiful melodies with classic western vocals

Risque

CHIC

5/5

Loved this album. It's all about the rhythm, It makes you want to go dancing. Loved Neil Rodgers guitars. "Good Times" is a classic, as well as the rest of the album. Highlight: "My Feet Keep Dancing".

I'm Your Man

Leonard Cohen

3/5

Didn't enjoy the music that much, i think it was very naive, although i understand the main focus on the album was the lyrics, i didn't find them that interesting.

Amnesiac

Radiohead

4/5

Never have managed to get into Radiohead, nonetheless i enjoyed the album. I think it depends a lot on the mood. Liked "Knives out".

Ágætis Byrjun

Sigur Rós

5/5

Loved the album. I feel like it's a gateway to listening ambient music. The combinations of electronic sounds with very soft rock and beautiful voices (similar to Tom Yorke in a way), makes for a great experience. Loved "Flugufrelsarinn" and "Agaetis Byrjun". Feeling very relaxed.

Born To Run

Bruce Springsteen

4/5

Great album, a classic. Even the name is inspiring "Born To Run".

Apple Venus Volume 1

XTC

5/5

Snivilisation

Orbital

4/5

Great electronic album. Enjoyed it greatly, very smooth an interesting progressions. Feels very ambient-like, but more powerful.

War

5/5

It's always nice to revisit an album i listened to so much when i was younger. I think that with age i have come to experience music differently, nonetheless i still enjoy this album very much. Bono's voice will always be iconic to me.

Pearl

Janis Joplin

4/5

Enjoyed the album, I had never listened to Janis Joplin before, liked "Mercedes Benz".

Definitely Maybe

Oasis

5/5

Definitely one of my favorite albums. Nostalgia hits hard with these one. Vividly remember them playing live in Caracas USB 2009, I went to the concert with my brother. Liam is the most amazing front man i have seen perform. I feel a big 'positive' rage when i listen to songs like "supersonic", while songs like "Slide Away" make me feel more melancholic. This is one of those albums I will listen to my whole life.

Triangle

The Beau Brummels

3/5

Classic rock/folk album. Pretty fun

Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea

PJ Harvey

4/5

Liked it, felt like listening to St. Vincent

OK Computer

Radiohead

4/5

Liked it a lot more than other Radiohead albums. cool guitars

Chirping Crickets

Buddy Holly & The Crickets

5/5

"Not fade away", now i know where vampire weekend comes from. Rock & roll starts somewhere around here. This album is incredible, I love that it only lasts 26 minutes. "An Empty Cup (And A Broken Date)" is another highlight, but is worth listening to entirely.

You Are The Quarry

Morrissey

3/5

Nice album, liked Morrissey's voice a lot, It's very emblematic, I have never paid much attention to the Smiths.

Black Monk Time

The Monks

3/5

Cool album

Wild Wood

Paul Weller

3/5

Fleet Foxes

5/5

One of my favorite bands. What an album, feels like going hiking... Amazing from start to finish

Urban Hymns

The Verve

3/5

Very similar to Oasis, have always known the classics, good to listen to the rest of the album. Pretty good if you are in to brit rock.

Destroy Rock & Roll

Mylo

5/5

Loved this album, rock and roll is dead. Long live electronic music

Brilliant Corners

Thelonious Monk

3/5

Interesting album. It feels like constant iterations of incomplete melodies. It has interesting parts. Very experimental jazz.

Music

Madonna

4/5

New wave pop? amazing album. I loved "i deserve it" and "Amazing". it reminded me of Bjork but with the more comercial side of Madonna.

The Dark Side Of The Moon

Pink Floyd

5/5

One of the best. Psychedelic rock. Probably the most famous album in history. Best to listen to on shrooms? When i was younger i was obsessed with "Money". I think i still am.

Songs In The Key Of Life

Stevie Wonder

5/5

Funk, Disco and Pop. One of the greatest albums of all time. I tend not to like albums that are this long, nonetheless it is a smooth listen. I love Stevie's voice, it is very soothing and at the same time it's a super active album, it makes you want to dance. My favorite song will always be "Isn't She Lovely".

Red Headed Stranger

Willie Nelson

3/5

Not the biggest fan of country music, nonetheless I enjoyed the albums guitars, harmonicas and Willie Nelsons enchanting voice.

Master Of Puppets

Metallica

4/5

Classic metal album. Intoxicating and energetic. It's songs are all powerful and incite you to move.

Beach Samba

Astrud Gilberto

4/5

Beach Samba feels like a mix of samba and blues, Astrud's voice es one of the most soothing Brazilian voices there is. A relaxing and beautiful album to enjoy. It reminds me of Copacabana!

That's The Way Of The World

Earth, Wind & Fire

4/5

Earth, Wind & Fire always have the best melodies. Harmonic singing backed up by amazing funk & groove, or is it the other way around?

Lust For Life

Iggy Pop

4/5

Lust For life. The true meaning of punk music. Rebellion and liberation.
