Very boring songs. I don't like Country, actually.

Urban Hymns

The Verve

2/5

2 good songs and rest of them are not even close to hits. Sound like 2 different bands.

Arise

Sepultura

3/5

Despite there are some great guitar riffs and beautiful rhythms, I certainly hate drum lines of this kind. It reminds me the worst impression of Slayer. It’s not beauty of music, it’s just rough sound for rough sound. One songs was added to my list, anyway.

2/5

Noisy, grungy - good texture Shitty vocals, weak guitar lines Good drums though

Rock 'N Soul

Solomon Burke

4/5

Amazing album. It was pleasure to listen to it. One track added to my collection. However, sounds outdated and it is not my genre.

Nevermind

Nirvana

5/5

Definitely one of the TOP-50 albums of all time.

The Modern Lovers

2/5

Easy “chill” sound… Simple music… Lyrics inspired by MJ and LSD…. I could listen to it sometimes but I didn’t feel anything special Just usual british pop/punk rock, even with some post punk vibes in it

Cheap Thrills

Big Brother & The Holding Company

4/5

Adorable voice of Janis Joplin such a pleasure to listen to. Band is not that great sounding unfortunately. This is the only reason why I don’t rate this masterpiece 5/5. RIP LEGEND!

Parallel Lines

Blondie

3/5

2 beautiful hits 2 songs I have second chance (6&8) Rest set list maintains decent standard, but nothing interesting for me.

Songs For Swingin' Lovers!

Frank Sinatra

2/5

The entire album sounds like one old good love song. Legendary voice of Frank Sinatra cannot be mistaken. Unfortunately, this kind of music is outdated for me and I can’t really enjoy it.

If You Can Believe Your Eyes & Ears

The Mamas & The Papas

2/5

Only 1 good song which is very famous. Rest of album is boring

Blue Lines

Massive Attack

3/5

Sound is ok. Samples are ok. Vocals are fine. Reminds me Dummy by Portishead, which is far better than this.

Rip It Up

Orange Juice

4/5

Great production. I can’t recall any HIT song, but you can easily pick any song and enjoy listening to its instrumentals. Vocals are not that extraordinary. Just marching with band vibes. Added to my collection .

Rhythm Nation 1814

Janet Jackson

2/5

Sounds like Michael Jackson to me. Added few songs which deserved 2nd chance.

The Village Green Preservation Society

The Kinks

4/5

Album is easy to listen to. Good melodies and 60s vocals (Beatles like) I would say it reminds me of The Beatles a lot. I am going to listen to it again.

Revolver

Beatles

4/5

Good classic album which I have already listened.

Let's Get Killed

David Holmes

2/5

Well, this is very bad as it is written in most of the reviews. I listen to this album while running and running went well. I don’t think I will ever come back to listening to this album because electronic music is not really my type.

Pet Sounds

The Beach Boys

3/5

This album was definitely something new for its time (1966) Starting with first song it sets high standard and determines the mood of future material. However, rest of the songs were less attractive for me. I left 4 songs for “second chance” Album has a lot of orchestra additions which make it sound rich.

The Slider

T. Rex

4/5

Such an amazing record ! I had no idea that glam rock existed in early 70s! Sounds fresh, full of musical ideas, great vocal melodies, chords progressions, production etc Way ahead of its time and so underrated in my opinion. Mark Bolan RIP.

Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness

The Smashing Pumpkins

4/5

It was pleasure to travel through Billy Corgan’s Universe. I don’t think it was necessary to include that many songs into album. However, those “low grade” songs create special vibe within the album. They perfectly fill silence between good songs. By the way, there are many good songs. I’d say 1h15m of good stuff out of 2+hrs.

The Atomic Mr Basie

Count Basie & His Orchestra

3/5

Sounds great even for my untrained ear. I can’t tell trombone from sax or anything else. Bass lines were great!

Welcome To The Pleasuredome

Frankie Goes To Hollywood

3/5

Good record! I would even give it 3.5 out of 5.

Who's Next

The Who

4/5

Great classic rock sound!

Apocalypse Dudes

Turbonegro

3/5

Sounds good and aggressive. Good for gym and running. It looks like lyrics are shit, but I don’t care. Nothing extraordinary to attract my attention, so 3 out of 5.

The Doors

4/5

I would give this album even 4.5/5 Great record! Enjoyed from the first note.

I'm Your Man

Leonard Cohen

3/5

Such a contradicting impressions about this record… On one hand is boring vocals from the artist. On the other hand great songwriting and strong back vocals. I added Jazz Police song to my collection because is sounds very unusual and have cool female vocal lines.
