Fleet Foxes
Funky and almost stereotypically indie. Didn't blow me away, but I'm enjoying it. Kinda Lukáš Novotný medieval fantasy vibes and quite gospely. Will come back to it again to form a more profound opinion. Overall though from my first 1.5 listens a solid 7/10.

Amazing, insanely influential that I personally really enjoyed. Ofc Iggy Pop and Velvet Underground type style characteristic of that era that I am quite fond of. Certainly will listen again and I'm quite surprised that I didn't properly know/listen to it before. 9/10 for this genre. You just can't go wrong.

Low
David Bowie
Certainly interesting, but not really something I'd actively listen to very often. The first part is relatively tradicional while the secons part is very focused on instrumentals and repeating spacey melodies with sometimes a sort of an eearie vibe. Doesn't really focus on vocals and aims to create more of an ambient. Could be used as interesting background music though. A song that stands out the most to me is definitely Speed of Light. Nice spacey bowie-like experimental sound. Idk though if won't get bored of it quite fast as it is pretty repetitive. Sound and Vison isn't too bad either. Not sure that I'll return much to this album though, but good to know. 5/10

Bridge Over Troubled Water
Simon & Garfunkel
Having studied now its immense popularity, I am quite surprised i didn't know this album nor the artists before. Nice acousticy sound focused a lot on the vocals. Generally a chill album that I wouldn't necessarily listen to otherwise because it doesn't really hit much on the first listen. But only gets better as you listen more. So Long, Frank Lloyd Wright kinda reminds me of that last ILYHB song in the second album. Enjoyed 7/10

In The Court Of The Crimson King
King Crimson
I really love this album. Progressive rock combing what rock was built upon in a very interesting way with genres like jazz, classical compositions and more. Really unique and I'm a fan of almost every track. Interesting how Kanye sampled the 21st Century Schizoid man in "POWER." My favorite tracks: 21st Century Schizoid Man, Epitaph, The Court Of The Crimson King.
The only thing that I could somehow critique is that the length of each track is usually quite extensive, but it also gives it a vibe. Moonchild for example stands at 12min with the majority of the time occupied by very contemporary minimalist jazz which might not be for everyone, but I can see it's charm.
Overall really enjoyed it. 8/10

Album is very instrumental made as a soundtrack to a movie. So it's good to put on in the background, but not really for active listening that much. Includes electronic and jazzy elements and jazz I do quite enjoy as of late. "Playground Love" is a big vibe. Album cover is also aesthtically pleasing, nice art noveau vibe. As a whole though it didn't really blow me away. Still, I wouldn't say I didn't enjoy it. Will listen again. 6/10.

Pink Moon
Nick Drake
Lying on the white couch in Průhonice hearing the indistinct chatter of the adults at the Thanksgiving table across the room. The room is filled with a rich wood-scented smell of antique furniture and of food. An old TV next to a carved oriental-themed dresser with rural imagery shines with a dim blue retro light as the DVD symbol keeps bouncing off the sides of the screen. Wrapped up in a fur blanket I lay on the side of the couch next to a wall socket holding my tattered cable waiting for my phone to charge. Filip comes to check up on the tv every once in a while from whiches speakers there comes music, calm, soothing. Uneaten food rests on the table as I slowly fall asleep to wake up on the backseats of the car turning into our street with the orange glowing streetlights pleasantly shining into my eyes. I get carried to bed, covered by a blanket and I drift off once again. Life is simple, good.
9/10 as background. Evokes dreams and memories

A lot of war themes. Focused on the stories it tells with the lyrics. Nice musical aspect as well. Less popular than I expected an album on this list to be, but I enjoyed it. Will listen more to form a better opinion, but first impressions are pretty good. Has just enough Britishness for it not to be too overwhelming, much better than Blur. From seeing their discography this one doesn't seem to be one of their most successful so I'll give a try with the other ones sometime as well. Feel a bit overwhelmed though with all the music to listen to rn lol. In general pretty good, didn't completely blow away as of now, but good :)

Don't like it. This man and this style have simply been eternally connected with Disney movies. Even though there might reside some quality in there, the whole album doesn't really catch my interest. It all sounds the same, boring, cartoonish, and goofy. Don't really understand why this man is on the list to begin with. I find his voice also pretty annoying.

Melodrama
Lorde
The most contemporary one from the one's we've seen so far and it's a nice genre refreshment after all the rock lately. It's not bad, but the problem is that it just sounds like I've heard it thousand times before. It's the kind of modern formulaic big producer type of sound, therefore it just feels a bit dry and it lacks that spark for me. Feels like I'd hear these songs in Zara. Lorde is certainly a talented singer and good song writer, but from what I heard this specific album from her just doesn't hit very much. I'll give it another chance in the future, but I don't have high hopes. On the other hand some songs aren't bad. Hard Feelings/Loveless has some nice qualities. I like the industrial metalic scraping sounds in the middle of the song. Also Kudos for the album cover though. Very visually pleasing with the painted style and vibrant colors. 🤗 Would look nice in my liked songs if I actually liked it... 6/10

The College Dropout
Kanye West
I really don't understand the people here that leave a bad review or don't even bother to listen to the stuff that Kanye has made just because of the recent events concerning him. Yes, the path that he took on now is nothing short of horrendous, but I don't think so that it should be a reason to completely disregard his very rich and artistically valuable legacy. There is no doubt that Kanye is an extremely talented artist. Still, he unfortunately does suffer from a mental illness which can be often uncontrollable. So though it technically, physically, might the same person now, on a personal level I'd dare to say he's completely different person. So in this case I think people should learn to separate art from the artist and not just denounce all of the wonderful work this man has done over his long career because of who he's become now. Understand that nothing is ever black and white.
Really good album. Glad this app made me listen to all of it. 5/5

But I'm really glad I did listen. They are great french chansonos with so much artistry and energy packed into them. Amsterdam, for example, is just amazing in how much of a sense of fierceness, life, but at the same time composure it conveys.

Not bad, an interesting fuse of genres and instruments with nice lyrics, but the overall sound of the album, which is ultimately the thing that makes me want the listen to the piece of music, feels a little all over the place, unclear, not really catchy apart from few tracks like the Immigrant Song. Maybe it's because I've listened to it only two times so far so I am not distinguishing the songs much from the other, but generally the album didn't really hit much for me.

Don't have anything anything to criticize about this albums really. It's simply extraordinary.

I also really like how the album works as a cohorent piece of music that works with the fact that it's supposed to be listened to as a one piece with really nice song transitions and interludes.

Goofy ahh record that sounds like a soundtrack of some of some antique animated movie from the start of the digital age that I'd find on a dusty forgotten CD at the back of a mother's CD shelf. Certainly evokes a certain peculiar nostalgic feeling, but I'd need to be in a very specfic mood to find this truly enjoyable. For now it just gives me this vibe of frivolous superficial detachment from reality. Naive and oblivious. I wouldn't really say I like it very much + the guy's voice sort of reminds me of that of Randy Newman, who I find extremely irritating.
Not really my jam, but it could be worse and it's certainly an interesting music branch to know about, so I'll give it 2 stars at least.

The Hissing Of Summer Lawns
Joni Mitchell
The John Cage inspiration is really apparent in this one. Does get a bit a bit redundant after while though.

Modern Life Is Rubbish
Blur
Blur actually pleasantly surprised me with this one. Tracks like For Tomorrow, Chemical World, Miss America, Oily Water and more I actually really enjoyed. The ending part of Oily Water is nice and tripy and I like it. Some of the tracks are also a bit meh, but my biggest complaint about the album is its fucking length. Give me a condensed experience of the best you have to offer, not a 2h double album. I'm just not capable of listening to 2h of britpop without it getting really boring around the halfway point. Just dose it a little better. Other than that a thumbs up. 7/10

Homework
Daft Punk
I'm simply unable to listen to this mush of redundant computer beeps and boops for 1h 14min. Some catchy melodies of the more popular songs are at first quite pleasant, but most of the time overstay their welcome. Cannot entirely judge this album for now as I haven't listened to its entirety, but enjoy a different kind of beep boop more. So I'll give it a neutral 5,5/10

Rejoicing In The Hands
Devendra Banhart
Very enjoyable exotic sounding folky singer-songwriter album. In a way a pleasent mix of kiltro and nick drake. The soothing loose string guitar sound with the singer's crooning voice is simply a delicious meal for my ears. Wouldn't necessarily say it's as good Nick Drake or Kiltro, but still a big thumbs up. 8.7/10

Snivilisation
Orbital
A very pleasant techno/electronica album. Fitting for listening to as background, but some of the tracks straigh up ball. My favorite so far is "Sad but True" with the cool rhythmic beeps and the Moby-esque and Massive Attack-esque vocals throughout. Though it stays loyal to its overall theme the album in my opinion doesn't lack diversity either. It could be a little boring to listen when you're not feeling the vibe, but if you do it's definitely a good choice. Way better than Daft Punk imo. Thumbs up 7.5/10

Led Zeppelin
Quality album. Led Zeppelin is not my absolute favorite in the music world, but I totally respect their craft. A nice blend of rock and blues at times. This band is truly an essential one and I do plan to come back to it in the future, though probably not as often as to some other albums. 7.4/10

Yeezus
Kanye West
Love this album so much. It doesn't miss anywhere at any point for me. Insane lyrics, revolutionary experimental sound, and Kanye just shows his musical and artistic genius the most out of all his albums here imo. Simply Kanye at his apex and the direction he's decided to take his persona lately I find irrelevant here. Can't give it any less than 9.5/10. Man's paved a completely new path in music with this one.

I enjoyed this album very much. It's mellow tranquility just totally hits the spot. Glad to have it in my album collection now. For the genre and what it is this is one resides on the peak.
