Again, I am surprised how I could miss basically the complete work of David Bowie. It's a great album that had been unknown by me until today.

Blues and Rock'n'Roll influenced rock album. I like the songwriting as well as the way the songs are played and sung. Lead guitar is played excellently. Production could be better, e.g. it seems that Penthouse Pauper is too loud compared with Good Golly Miss Molly. Might just be because of limitations back when it was produced—it's older than me… The only song I really knew in advance was Proud Mary. Like it. Least favorite song on the album: Graveyard Train. It's way too long as far as I'm concerned. That might be justified by the lyrics, but I perceived it as musically annoying. Harp and guitar solos in Keep On Chooglin' are too extensive, too.

Listened to this album a lot when it was new, but not in the last maybe 20 years. It seems I still like it, and I still know almost all the lyrics. Though the music seems to be "simple" and there is only limited use of musical instruments, the music appears somehow "rich" to me. The a cappella track "Behind the Wall" is one of my highlights. Not a single filler on the album.

Weird mix. In one moment it's boring elevator music, then I got surprised with some great drum fills and a change of rhythm. Then it's jazzy, then hip-hop, then elevator music again. Sometimes just a sequence of unrelated samples. Technically not bad, but I am missing a central theme.

Before listening to this album, I only knew Message in a Bottle, Bring on the Night and Walking on the Moon. I consider Message in a Bottle a great song, the other two are good too. Hence, I expected to be more excited while listening to this album. Rock songs with repetition of always the same reggae elements do not do the trick.

Unfortunately, I can't unlearn what I know about the later Beatles albums. This album is good, but still very conventional. I prefer the songs when they became more adventurous. Favorite tracks: Can't Buy Me Love, A Hard Day's Night

Great voice, but not so super exciting songs.

In the eighties I was not really interested in the Smiths while some of my class mates admired them. Today I am wondering why I ignored them. Morrissey has a great voice. Most of the songs are composed well, and I like the arrangements. Bass lines are way better than in many similar songs. It's still not my preferred genre, but it's a good album.

I like the dark voice, even though I would not say he's a strong singer. The arrangements are great with some strings and a mouth harp. All in all, it's too slow to make me really love it.

Extraordinary big band/swing album. I love Hefti's arrangements. Both the band as a whole and the soloists are fantastic. If there is one who deserves an extra mention, it's the tenor saxophone player. Disclaimer: I played alto saxophone in a big band for several years, among other pieces some of Hefti's arrangements for Basie. Hence, I might be biased. 😉

Never before heard of the band and album. It's a pleasing mix of folk and psychedelic rock, enriched with some elements from other genres like ska. The voice of the singer sometimes reminded me of Arnim Teutoburg-Weiß from German band Beatsteaks. Won't listen to it again, but it weren't wasted 34 minutes.

This kind of hip hop is really tiring for me. Not that all this music is bad, but it's not for me. I'm a bit surprised, because I listened a lot to Licensed to Ill.

Exceptional album, I like every detail. Mark Knopfler plays guitar like a god.

Boring. Someone wrote on metalhead.club that this has been released before they went fully generic mainstream pop rock. Honestly, I don't see this development.

The songs are okay, I like the guitars, drums, saxophone. But as soon as the voice appears, it becomes super-annoying.

Great prog rock album.

Nice jazz album. Easy to listen, yet not boring.

After I watched "A Life Less Ordinary" in the cinema, I went to buy the CD with the soundtrack. That's how I learned about Beck. I liked Beck's "Deadweight" and the other music, but actually never listened deliberately to any other music by Beck. I should have done. It's great alternative rock. And it's experimental to exactly the degree I like.

Mediocre songs and J Mascis sings out of tune. But I like the sound in general.

This came as a surprise. I didn't know the band. None of the songs sounded familiar to me. Anyhow, I liked the album. The band creates an almost cinematic atmosphere and uses some sounds/instruments in an unobtrusive way that are usually not used in rock music. Well, I did not like all songs—"The Happy End (The Drunk Room)" is not my cup of tea.

I didn't know the band and did not read any information about them before listening, but I would have guessed that the band comes from the US West coast after listening to the first few songs. They somehow remind me of The Mamas & the Papas or The Beach Boys—except for the piano, maybe. Nice, but unspectacular.

Lightweight jazzy music. Great voice. I like this album.

I listened to this album, and I still think that AC/DC is somewhat overrated. Yes, it's rock 'n' roll. Yes, it's hard rock. But neither this nor any of the following albums were innovative to the genre.

I only knew "Bongo Bong" and "Je ne t'aime plus" before this listening session. Interesting blend, but all in all not too exciting.

Interesting mix—way more complex than most other punk music. Overall, it's annoyingly long. After I listened to half of the songs, I had a strong urge to stop it. I don't think that they had enough good songs to actually fill a double album.

Hip hop has never been my preferred genre, but I gave it a try again with this album. For me, it's too repetitive. After I listened to half of it, I had the strong feeling that I already knew all of it. That didn't change in the second half …

This is probably the first time I listened to a full David Bowie album. Before, I only knew the hit singles. But I enjoyed the album, and I think I am going to listen to some more.

I never before listened to a Beyoncé album before. I get why many people like her music. It's not a bad album, but it's not for me.

This came as a surprise. I never before heard of this band. Pleasing songs with a fantastic instrumentation—both the arrangements and the execution in collaboration with The Brunel Ensemble.

A good, but not an exceptional prog album.

All a bit coarse and in parts interpreted listlessly. Like you want to blend Rammstein and Front 242, but order it on Wish … Some songs started promising, e.g. "Jägerspiel", but this one too was very monotone later.

Lyrical poetry with some pleasing music. Not bad, but I won't listen to it again.

Afro-Cuban big band jazz. Raises your temper immediately by at least two steps (on any scale). Sounds very fresh given the year of the first release, but I have to admit that I listened to the 2000 remaster.

I don't know Bowie very well, but this album is remarkable.

Pleasant to listen. Not spectacular, but a great debut.

I am not very familiar with the genre. Mariah Carey has an amazing voice, but I can't help, it annoys me after a couple of songs.

I like the general sound, but some of the songs were very similar to each other. This way it became more and more boring. Honestly, fewer songs and some of them shorter would have been better …

Solid blues rock album. I haven't deliberately listened to ZZ Top for ages, but I enjoyed it.

Pleasing album, but not exceptional. No surprise, the most popular song on Deezer is "Papa Was A Rollin' Stone", this was indeed my highlight too.

It's not a sensational album, but I enjoyed it.

Again, a new discovery for me. I like the blend of folk, rock and psychedelic.

I haven't listened to this album for ages, but it's actually one of the CDs in my collection. I enjoyed rediscovering it.

I was not familiar with Fairport Convention before. "Unhalfbricking" is an unobtrusive folk rock album. Sandy Denny is a great singer. Like with many other albums from the 1960s and early 1970s I am struggling with the stereo mix. Unfortunately, I had to listen with headphones …

Solid metal album.

I still think, Cohen is better as a poet than as a singer. He brilliantly creates a dark atmosphere, but I probably won't listen to the album again.

Too much noise for my taste.

I don't think that I ever before listened to a Steely Dan album, but I liked this release from the first bar. I love the the horns section. The sound is fantastic considering the year of the recording.

Mostly harmless.

Coincidentally this came only three days after "Goo" which I didn't like too much. After three songs, it started to heavily annoy me. Some of the songs seem to never end. Actually they do, but only after more than seven minutes… Not my cup of tea.

This album has been in my collection for many years. It's excellent.

While the music is played technically excellent, 38 minutes of Mambo are quite a lot …

I am a bit undecided about this album. The blend of hip-hop and jazzy elements is great. Use of samples remains in reasonable boundaries. Sounds nicely laid-back. But in parts it's annoyingly repetitive.

I think it's the first solo album by Eno I have ever listened to. I knew that he did some ambient music while producing great records with other musicians, but that never really seemed interesting to me. Now I am curious what else is there to be discovered.

I knew that The Killers exist, but they somehow stayed under my radar. I enjoyed listening to the album.

Good vibes, amazing drums. I like it.

1st impression: wie, interesting. 2nd: OK, it will all be the same—how boring. 3rd: 2nd was sooo wrong. Nice. Last: Now it becomes weird. Experimental, sometimes intentionally ugly, but too much of it.

Amazing voice.

I was not aware that this band existed, but when I reached "Doll Parts" I recognized that I listened to them previously. I enjoyed the whole album.

I was not aware that it is that old, but it aged really well.

New discovery for me. I like the voice, and the music is for sure not bad, but all in all a bit monotonous.

It's a good album, but I don't consider it outstanding.

Well, that's a surprise. I saw the album and thought that I don't know anything. But it seems that I have listened to many of the songs before. Some like "Sexy Boy", "All I need", or "Kelly Watch the Stars" appeared disturbingly familiar to me. I can't explain it, and they are not among my scrobbles …

Again, a new discovery for me. Great stylistic variety.

I have mixed feelings about this album, but some of the songs were really great.

I haven't listened to this album for ages, but it was one of my favorite releases back in the 1980s. It contains some of U2's best songs ever, no fillers. The production is superb.

Again, I am surprised how I could miss basically the complete work of David Bowie. It's a great album that had been unknown by me until today.

This not my cup of tea. Well, the sound is good, but the music is too repetitive. After a couple of songs, it simply annoyed me.

Reminds me of Coldplay. The music doesn't hurt, but it's not thrilling either.
