...Baby One More Time

Britney Spears

5/5

Oh boy, right in the childhood, nostalgia through the roof! I meant to give it a 4 because I never liked the second part of the album as much as I did the first but it's gotta be a 5 for the feelings it evoked... good times

Straight Outta Compton

N.W.A.

2/5

Yeah yeah this album is important, groundbreaking and whatnot, but I really dislike gangsta rap. These guys just keep talking about themselves and what they gonna do and all I keep thinking is 'sit your ass down and shut up, get over yourself ffs'. So annoying, the beats, the guys, the lyrics

3/5

Some of the tracks are nice and chill, others are annoying af. Not my cup of tea.

The Black Saint And The Sinner Lady

Charles Mingus

3/5

At times too cacophonous and grating on my ears. That guitar part at some point was a nice touch though.

Doggystyle

Snoop Dogg

4/5

It's ok, better when not paying attention to the lyrics 'cause some made me cringeee

Hail To the Thief

Radiohead

3/5

I dislike Yorke's singing. Where I liked the music, I disliked the singing and vice versa.

Kid A

Radiohead

3/5

Radiohead yesterday, Radiohead again today. Was not a fan of Hail to the Thief and while I've seen many people write that Kid A is much better, it's still the same annoying whining droning noise to me. I don't know, I just can't. But unlike Hail to the Thief, by the end, there were maybe two tracks that I didn't absolutely hate, so Radiohead remains a 3 from me - srednja žalost.

C'est Chic

CHIC

4/5

I dislike the Chic Cheer because it's too repetitive and too long, not a good start. At Last I am Free and some others are also very repetitive lyrics-wise but not as annoyingly so. Le Freak is great, it brings back happy memories. I also really loved Savoir Faire. All in all a nice and fun album, would listen again.

Moon Safari

Air

4/5

I actually enjoyed most of this, nice.

Back to Mystery City

Hanoi Rocks

3/5

sounds really amateurish at times what is this weird pronunciation, singing bad on purpose? i can't describe it weird and ridiculous there's something in their sound that just doesn't sit well with me i was ready to give it a 2, but rosalita (ice cream summer) and that random 'bitch!' cracked me up, also, as that one reviewer said, there's a saxophone too ++ the second part of the album sounds overall better, probably because you get used to it by the end so yeah, this album left me a bit confused

Roxy Music

3/5

not impressed

Ágætis Byrjun

Sigur Rós

3/5

Not great not terrible

The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway

Genesis

4/5

Bizarre story, interesting album, good music.

Haut de gamme / Koweït, rive gauche

Koffi Olomide

3/5

it was ok. monotonous after a few songs, kinda all the same. maybe i'd have liked it more if i were in a different mood.

A Christmas Gift For You From Phil Spector

Various Artists

4/5

Nice to get this one right on Christmas Day, all classics

The Coral

3/5

Reading all the accolades, I expected more. The beginning was ok, by the end it became very annoying.

Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo

Devo

2/5

Another annoying compilation

Blonde On Blonde

Bob Dylan

5/5

His singing style, word emphasis, here is irritating and the harmonica hurts my brain but I liked the album regardless.

OK Computer

Radiohead

3/5

Radiohead again, this is their third album I got in only two weeks of doing this. I can't say I truly hated any of it, I just heavily disliked it although I admit I disliked this one less than expected and prefer it to the other two (Kid A and Hail to the Thief). There are actually more than a few parts that were ok, instrumental mostly, as well as parts that bored me and parts that annoyed me. Yorke's voice and singing makes me want to punch the guy. Maybe this band could be an acquired taste but right now, it's all just meh to me.

Smile

Brian Wilson

3/5

not impressed sorry

Feast of Wire

Calexico

4/5

I quite liked this

Homework

Daft Punk

2/5

Couldn't really listen to any of the tracks without skipping before the end. Annoyingly repetitive. Around the World is a highlight only because I like the music video; I still had to skip it though. Got to Rock'n Roll and DNF

Time Out Of Mind

Bob Dylan

4/5

I liked it but I prefer his older stuff

All Mod Cons

The Jam

4/5

good

Murder Ballads

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

5/5

dark af. but great 1. 4 2. 3 3. 5 4. 5 5. 5555555 I've loved this song since I've first heard it years and years ago 6. 5 7. 4.5 8. 5 9. 3.5 O'Malley's Bar - I see this one is a fan-favourite, but to me it was so... tiring? I see it's a masterpiece, but I found it too long and disliked some of the 'singing' 10. 5

Either Or

Elliott Smith

3/5

It's generally ok I guess, I like the guitar. However, I'm not into this sad kind of music atm and his voice is so monotonous. Angsty teenage me might've liked it more but present me is bored tbh

Dear Science

TV On The Radio

3/5

Don't know what to think of this. Like many things on here it's ok and again, it's just that - ok. I wish I liked it more but it was kind of too much of something.

MTV Unplugged In New York

Nirvana

4/5

Nirvana and their genre never really clicked for me but this was a great, memorable performance.

Beauty And The Beat

The Go-Go's

3/5

Often too repetitive and saccharine. Didn't really like the two singles but preferred some other tracks where vocals weren't as...well, saccharine. Yet another meh

Dire Straits

4/5

I liked the guitars

Yeezus

Kanye West

1/5

I've listened to this album and it's not that I hated it, I just heavily disliked it so with great pleasure, this is my first 1 star rating here. I also can't stand Kanye, the man disgusts me and in this case I won't even try to separate 'the artist' from his 'art'.

Live And Dangerous

Thin Lizzy

4/5

The sound was somehow 'empty'

The xx

3/5

The music is nice enough, at times boring and fit for the elevator genre. The singing is lifeless but I guess that's the intended style.

Now I Got Worry

The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion

1/5

Well that was pointless and extremely irritating. DNF

Chicago Transit Authority

Chicago

4/5

Nice vibe. Nice music. Free Form Guitar a bit annoying though

Elvis Presley

I liked

Hysteria

Def Leppard

4/5

well that was fun could do without 'excitable'

Vespertine

Björk

3/5

Some of it good, some of it skipped

Kind Of Blue

Miles Davis

5/5

Not a fan of jazz usually, but I enjoyed listening to this. My cat too.

Otis Blue/Otis Redding Sings Soul

Otis Redding

4/5

I quite liked it, the only problem is that I prefer other versions of most of these songs.

Larks' Tongues In Aspic

King Crimson

2/5

Nope

Illmatic

Nas

3/5

This screams 90s rap. I am not a fan of the genre, it's all much same-y, the repetitive beats get irritating pretty fast, and lyrics tend to make me cringe and/or roll my eyes. I've read about the impact of this album and I understand, but it's not for me.

On The Beach

Neil Young

3/5

This felt kinda bland. Second part was a bit better. I actually had many thoughts while listening but it all boils down to yet another 'meh'.

(What's The Story) Morning Glory

Oasis

5/5

I liked

Straight Outta Compton

3/5

It wasn't THAT bad

Crime Of The Century

Supertramp

5/5

I was torn between 4 and 5 stars because I really liked the beginning of the album but got a bit bored in the middle. The last, titular, track settled it.

Liquid Swords

GZA

3/5

This one wasn't as annoying to me as some other 90s rap.

Abraxas

Santana

5/5

This was really nice

Harvest

Neil Young

2/5

This is my second Neil Young album and the guy is obviously not for me. I find his singing very flat and all the songs much the same, with A Man Needs a Maid sounding like some kind of a parody. I was trying to decide between 2 and 3 stars but since I've skipped a few songs i.e. didn't listen to them all the way to the end, I've decided on 2*.

Django Django

3/5

3.54 I really liked the intro but it'll have to be a 3* because it all became quite tiring by the end

Transformer

Lou Reed

3/5

I don't know what to say about this, not impressed

I didn't hate it and I thought I would

Electric Ladyland

Jimi Hendrix

Leonard Cohen

5/5

Love

Rust In Peace

Megadeth

3/5

Don't really know what to say about this. Metal is usually 'my' genre but this didn't sit well with me and that disappoints me somehow. I really disliked the vocals. I'll try listening to it some time again.

The Pogues

Your New Favourite Band

The Hives

2/5

these types all sound the same, and some others are much better than this and more bearable. this is most deff not my new favourite band, and it's far from being something I had to ever listen to. it's annoying as fuck.. bonus points for being so short

3/5

Fisherman's Blues

4/5

I mostly liked

The Score

Fugees

4/5

Again, I truly dislike rap/hiphop but this was nice enough. I didn't care for some of the songs and most definitely not for the skits, I skipped those. But the singles are great, Killing Me Softly was one of the favourite songs of my teenage self and still is. I also really like Lauryn's voice.

Hot Chip

3/5

I was about to give this 4 stars because at the time of listening, I kinda liked it, some tracks even really liked. But now, a few hours later, I don't remember any of it and don't feel the need to listen to it again.

good kid, m.A.A.d city

Kendrick Lamar

4/5

Again, I really dislike hiphop/rap. I hate swearing in songs, I see no point in such vocabulary. But the melodies and the general flow of the music on this album left a positive impression.
