Sounds like depeche mode

The Contino Sessions by Death In Vegas

Decent, trippy music. I listened to the entire album - sort of - and only noticed it was over when some other sort of music started playing. Nothing all that memorable here, but also nothing terrible or irritating on this disc.

Jam band, Live album. Hard to like unless you're a fan from prior releases.

Strange Cargo III by William Orbit

Cool electronic music.

The Sun Rises In The East by Jeru The Damaja

Another rapping album. It's hard to relate to this genre when your life and perspective and experience differs as greatly as mine. Lacking the draw and hook of music I like, it fails to draw my interest. Certainly the creativity of multiple rappers proves interesting, but the subject matter - the same base subject as all of this genre - appeals to the school yard basketball court rather than the suburban angst of my youth.

The Wall by Pink Floyd

Albums don't get better than this

Follow The Leader by Korn

Lacks authenticity....I don't believe them and sense the lyrics and music were designed by an industry VP intended in to catch sales from Linkin Park

Get Rich Or Die Tryin' by 50 Cent

meh. Base hip hop is dull. The gunshot nonsense was really stupid.

Nowhere by Ride

Debut album by band called Ride. Ride delivered this album in 1990, a time when hair metal gave way to grunge. Who knew another new genre, "shoegaze" birthed itself too. This album strikes me as easy to listen to and ethereal. Unusual guitar sounds surrounding a moving beat and bassline with an earnest, though quiet voice buried in the sound. A genre I like. Considered a debut after three EPs seems silly to this reviewer. They knew what they were doing by this point and the song show it. Musically enjoyable. The album cover features an ocean wave in the early stages of rising out of the sea. Apropos of the tunes on this album and its overall sound, lending a completeness to the artistry Ride was shooting for. The music throughout feels intentional and heartfelt, maybe even an evolution of the sound Robert Smith got going in The Cure's heyday. The big tune that turn on the kids are Vapour Trail (spelling accepted as us tolerating the King's English). Looking at this specific tune shows the band's musical competence and their ability to blend rock instruments with some strings. Too bad the lyrics bordered on kindergarten-esk. Throughout the album, its lyrics present the weakness of this album. Writing words like, "And all my time is yours as much is mine" on Vapour Trail strikes me as just stupid, a juvenile attempt at poetry. This goes on throughout the album creating my appreciation for the genre's desire to hide the vocals behind its instruments. Nowhere fits nicely when you need to get some work done. Throw this on the headphones and let the music float you through that spreadsheet. The vocals backed into the instruments proves the key element for listening as a way to give the distracted part of your mind something to do. This is thinking music. This doesn't work for work outs, and probably would be distracting at a dinner party as the musicianship is compelling.

Faust IV by Faust

Wikipedia tells us that 'Faust IV' is the fourth studio album by the German krautrock group Faust, released in 1973'. Nobody knows what krautrock sounds like, giving the sense that some dork made the name up to sound smart. Lets figure this out by listening rather than dropping into the Wikipedia entry for krautrock. Listening to the opening tracks of any album gives the listener a sense of the musical style. In the case of Faust IV, the first song titled 'krautrock' feels like a sort of easy going, electronic back beat with some jazzy, synth ramblings in multiple directions then 7 minutes in you get a drumbeat. This song is 11+ minutes long. Great. But this is one song, an instrumental, serving as prologue rather than a complete picture. Prepare yourself listener for entry into the unknown and confusing. Digging into the tracks of the complete album teaches the listener that krautrock is a melding of psychedelic industrial rock. I don't think I learned anything else. No great lyrical philosophy....Maynard spoiled us all. Checking the timeline, this album landed in the music scene in the early 70s when psychedelic and hard rock raged into its screaming toddler years. Faust IV fits in there, but electronic mostly. Trent Reznor was eight when it came out so its not his, though the first tune could be. The remastered version presents clean, psychedelic songs the likes of which you might find on a Henry Rollins radio show or maybe something played on KXLU. The songs all present a clean, driving baseline with a variety of instruments pursuing their interrelated musical lines. No doubt music theorists gush over the mixodyxolidophonic scales....whatever. Lyrically, and vocally, you wont find much. Its sparse. As something called krautrock, I expect something more of a call to arms, a socialist or well ordered, tight and clean lyrics. Instead, the listener doesn't get much. The songs have minimal lyrics, mostly repeated lines. Walt Whitman doesn't play krautrock. As I end my first listen, it occurs to me that all of the songs on the album could be one long tune. Though song to song the 'melodies' and temperaments change, including 'Giggly Smile' which could fit on a Zappa album, especially due to its lyrical homage to blowjobs. This album drops a lot of elements on the listener...maybe this is jazz structure with rock instruments? This unique sound clearly lives in its own world. Its flaw maybe its strength: its uncategorizable. Its provides a base of music for some of the greatest artists to come: Reznor, Zappa and their ilk. If you like weird music, off the mainstream, you may like this. If you like to know what you are getting, you will hate this. 3 of 5 stars

Meat Puppets II by Meat Puppets

This is a foundational album that lead to much of the great music of the 90s.

All Things Must Pass by George Harrison

Slide guitar pop. Much better than I expected. Double album proved long though

Screamadelica by Primal Scream

drugged centric, club dance album of the early 90s

Water From An Ancient Well by Abdullah Ibrahim

Straight forward Jazz ensemble. Not all that impressed with great skills in playing. Show me something creative.

Happy Sad by Tim Buckley

Buckley was a druggie that abandoned his family and obligations. Like Michael Jackson, its impossible for me to separate dude's music from his abhorrent lifestyle. You will like this album if you like psychedelic, jazz inspired riffing and are able to ignore Buckley's douchy lyrics. You will hate this album if Buckley's behavior pisses you off.

The Libertines by The Libertines

Very average, English rock album. Expected more

Survivor by Destiny's Child

This is shit. Skank songs. Corporate swill.

Violator by Depeche Mode

Layers synth almost industrial music that backs off enough to be radio friendly

Eli And The Thirteenth Confession by Laura Nyro

School's Out by Alice Cooper

Alice Cooper is a spectacle show more than an album. The music is inconsequential and is the equivalent of putting Cirque du Soleil on here.

This Is Fats Domino by Fats Domino

The sort of thing you'd expect a teenager to make if they had some time with a synth.

An album defining the sound of The 80s Teen American Male. Great songs overplayed.

Led Zeppelin IV by Led Zeppelin

Anyone reading the 1001 albums book has heard this album many times. This one is in the top few greatest, most important albums of all time.

All That You Can't Leave Behind by U2

Not even close to their most important album. This is more a commercial crap.

Gasoline Alley by Rod Stewart

This music sucks. While it is referenced by many great artists of the era, it's just plain bad, uninteresting and dull.

Urban Hymns by The Verve

Hidden tracks aren't cute anymore. Decent album though.

Happy Trails by Quicksilver Messenger Service

Live music....should be heard live. A jam band playing someone else's tune. It's fine, just not as an album.

Reminds me of Zappa. People like this sort of thing in the same way they like jazz.

Countdown To Ecstasy by Steely Dan

Fuzzy by Grant Lee Buffalo

Kinda dull

The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill by Lauryn Hill

Like World Music, this is unlistenable. Not that the people can't sing, it's that the subject matter is so boring, so over trod, so base, so stupid. If prefer the stupid fantasy metal about knights and unicorns to this drivel.

Antichrist Superstar by Marilyn Manson

Try hard music.

Groovy, old fuzzy blues music. Lots of slide guitar and harmonicas and the like.

Ragged Glory by Neil Young & Crazy Horse

I struggle with this album as it represents the first storm clouds that destroyed what was a great band. Their next was the end. Gone is the spitting mad anger, the speed, the agro of thrash. In comes the radio ready unit shifter.
