Popular Reviews

Ys by Joanna Newsom

Super interesting, non-trivial, fresh, melodic and devoid of many clichés approach to modern music. Interesting vocals combined with orchestra, harmonic passages and timings of a length that is convenient for the author to reveal his idea, not convenient for the radio or anyone else.

Jan 13 2024

Never listened to Bob Dylan on purpose before. Classic American folk, very warm, very homey, very cool lyrics.

Jan 14 2024

One of the classic acoustic concerts of all time, in my opinion. Very unusual and very cool to hear Nirvana in a completely different role. Very lamplike atmosphere. They were hardly the first to try to do it, but after them there was a whole series of similar unplugged concert-albums among other musicians. Even Symphony & Metallica, I think, were inspired by this unplugged.

Get Behind Me Satan by The White Stripes
Jan 15 2024

White Stripes are interesting guys, authentic sound, over the top drive, interesting approach to performance. But it's not really my style. Nevertheless, they are definitely authentic, bright and the album is solid and high quality.

The Age Of The Understatement by The Last Shadow Puppets
Jan 16 2024

The album is not bad, but the first part is a bit flat for me, but the second part, starting with My Mistakes Were Made For You is very beautiful, both the likes of Time Has Come Again and the dynamic I Don't Like You Anymore came in. The guys, apparently, decided to save all the most delicious things for dessert.

Iron Maiden by Iron Maiden
Jan 17 2024

Now I know where subsequent generations of metal and alternative artists have drawn inspiration from. Very cool album with raw killer drive, great chromatic riffs and other hecky metal attributes that have become classics. And, of course, super lyrics.

Frank by Amy Winehouse
Jan 18 2024

I love this Amy album. It has a lot of energy and desire to create and some musical virginity or something. Amy's voice sounds very fresh and the lyrics are full of passion. There is not that tiredness and emptiness that starts to appear later. This trait makes it special and turns it on.

Manassas by Stephen Stills
Jan 19 2024

Wow! I'm amazed. The quality of the recorded material is amazing. And this is 1972! Unbelievable. A cool lamplight and very warm country blues-rock album. The songs all fit together and flow one into the other. The album is very cohesive and enjoyable for both thoughtful listening and background. First time listening to Stephen Stills and very impressed!

The Low End Theory by A Tribe Called Quest
Jan 20 2024

Cool album. I love it when they put jazz samples in hip-hop.

We're Only In It For The Money by The Mothers Of Invention
Jan 21 2024

It's a great album. Kind of a psycho-punk-Beatles thing. Now I know who the great-grandfathers of Bloodhound gang were.

The Wildest! by Louis Prima
Jan 22 2024

A brilliant album from a brilliant musician. Luis Prima is simply marvelous: the songs, the energy, the arrangements, the overall mood of the album. He was just a revelation.

Beauty And The Beat by The Go-Go's
Jan 23 2024

This album reminded me of a later female group from the USSR, Kombinatsiya. It seems to me that they were inspired by Go Go's. Overall, the album is fun, fresh, light, but I didn't really like the sound quality and performance.

Elephant by The White Stripes
Jan 24 2024

Of the White Stripes, this is my favorite album. Despite the dynamics and raw garage drive of the songs, they have developed a dynamic between songs. And that makes the album even more interesting. The riffs and the approach with the vocals are all much more to my liking here. I think they changed the comic and this one sounds more like Tom Morello than Papa Roach.

The Only Ones by The Only Ones
Jan 25 2024

Funky guys, great power pop, but I didn't find anything interesting or tasty for me.

Copper Blue by Sugar
Jan 26 2024

Shugar is very reminiscent of Foo Fighters in style and presentation of material. There is an influence in both vocals and arrangements. I even got deja vu. Of course, there are echoes of many bands from the 90s from the USA, Blink 182, Offspring, Papa Roach, and this is not a complete list. At one time, for me, this kind of music was almost the most reference and it was in this style of frantic continuous powerchords and overcompression.

Rumours by Fleetwood Mac
Jan 27 2024

Cool album, a bit country, but I love the sound, the dynamics, the cohesiveness of it. I agree that it's one of the best.

Fisherman's Blues by The Waterboys
Jan 28 2024

The Waterboys - wow, rock and roll, country, quality, lyrics, arrangements, production quality, album layout - just enjoy the wholeness, sound and meaning.

Exodus by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Jan 29 2024

Exodus is just a delightful album that combines a mature and very musical Bob Marley, with great arrangements, cool lyrics and intoxicating reggae. It's 5, for sure.

Hybrid Theory by Linkin Park
Jan 30 2024

I remember the moment when I heard them for the first time. The album was on sale, but it was far from popular, so I bought it in a Minsk disk store because I liked the cover. Despite the fact that I've listened to almost nothing but Nirvana and Dream Theatre, I liked these guys. Very cool combination of long rough overdriven drive, overdriven vocals and subtle melody with voluminous reverb. When I listened to them, I didn't know English and didn't understand the meaning of the lyrics. But the lyrics turned out to be quite strong too. They remind me something of J Mors, which came out strongly because of the timbre of Pugach's voice and the lyrics. Here plus more interesting guitars, melancholy and almost metal tendencies. This is a very cool album that you should definitely listen to.

Buffalo Springfield Again by Buffalo Springfield
Jan 31 2024

This album is okay for this year, but I'm not really a fan of those Beatle arrangements.

In Rainbows by Radiohead
Feb 01 2024

It's the best arrangements, the most beautiful guitars, the most beautiful drums, the highest quality mixing and the most awesome mastering. I can't classify myself as a Radiohead fan. I don't really like Thom Yorke's timbre and manner, but the music they make in its totality is beautiful, original and very interesting. Special mention must be made of the air and quality with which one hears every nuance and every instrument on the recording. My hat's off to them.

Foxbase Alpha by Saint Etienne
Feb 02 2024

Cool music, light, interesting arrangements, but a little dusty sounding and lacks the assemblage of the bowl. A matter of taste, of course.

Figure 8 by Elliott Smith
Feb 03 2024

Good album, nice melodic guitar riffs and harmonic moves. Interesting vocals. Good quality studio material. Pleasant impression.

American Pie by Don McLean
Feb 04 2024

Great singer-songwriter album, with tracks that had become American classics. Worth a listen.

Pornography by The Cure
Feb 05 2024

Now I know from whom the russian bands Kino and Agatha Christie and, for example, Marilyn Manson were inspired. Helplessly gloomy and melancholy with semi-synthetic drums. Row sound and declamation at about the same voice pitch. It's fun to listen to this album to understand how the Cure influenced future generations of musicians and how reflections of their style evolved in their followers.

War by U2
Feb 06 2024

I recognize Belarusian band Ulis in U2. And even a little bit of J:Mors in the guitars. Cool album, very Innovative approach in guitars for this year. But I'm not a big fan of Bono's vocal talent.

Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs by Derek & The Dominos
Feb 07 2024

Guitars wailed, cried, screamed, prayed. It was cool, raw. Really liked the balance of the instruments and their panning on the album. It's just a buzzkill.

Queen II by Queen
Feb 08 2024

Very cool and rich in polyphony and interesting vocal moves album. But it seems more like an experiment album, with musicians bringing new ideas, not yet fully polished perhaps. That's not a bad thing, it's just an observation.

Ys by Joanna Newsom
Feb 09 2024

Super interesting, non-trivial, fresh, melodic and devoid of many clichés approach to modern music. Interesting vocals combined with orchestra, harmonic passages and timings of a length that is convenient for the author to reveal his idea, not convenient for the radio or anyone else.

Hard Again by Muddy Waters
Feb 10 2024

Oh, what great blues! I loved Waters from the first chord. I've been playing the blues for a long time, but after Waters, I just want to sing it now.

E.V.O.L. by Sonic Youth
Feb 11 2024

Interesting album, just mind blowing guitars and arrangements. A total psychedelic departure. I thought I was going to turn it off at first, ended up even adding a couple things to my favorites. Cool to listen to blow the dust off the hackneyed brain and feel total freedom.

The Idiot by Iggy Pop
Feb 12 2024

Bowie's arrangements are excellent on this album. And Iggy's voice and lyrics fit the music wonderfully. And interesting topic, I now know where Marilyn Manson (Brian Warner) got his vocal inspiration from.

Morrison Hotel by The Doors
Feb 13 2024

Nice blues-rock. All very good, beautiful, but almost nothing memorable.

Cheap Thrills by Big Brother & The Holding Company
Feb 14 2024

Probably an interesting album. But Janis Joplin's vocals are not my thing. And I don't like the Beatles harmonies and arrangements very much either. It's a matter of taste, of course. But I didn't like the quality of recording, neither mixing, nor quality of guitars, nor quality of overdrive.

Highway to Hell by AC/DC
Feb 15 2024

Wow album! It's a blast. The drive, the vocals, just fly together. It's got goosebumps all over it. Young's guitar and unique sound works wonders. The arrangements are not very complex and tricky. But it adds even more charm and density. Two guitars scattered through the channels. Everything is just super. Separate highlight to the vocals and dynamics. Where have I been before?

Faust IV by Faust
Feb 16 2024

It's very interesting album for '73 with samples and a brooding airy dreamy sound.

Out Of The Blue by Electric Light Orchestra
Feb 17 2024

A wonderful album with great arrangements, vocals and energy.

Exile In Guyville by Liz Phair
Feb 18 2024

Cool sound and guitar moves. It looks a bit raw, but that's what gives it life. Plus Liz has a very timbre to her vocals. A special plus for the fearless lyrics.

Station To Station by David Bowie
Feb 19 2024

Interesting arrangements, but I don't get Bowie yet.

Feb 20 2024

Cool album! Sound, arrangements, dynamics. Everything's on point.

Fear Of Music by Talking Heads
Feb 21 2024

The arrangements are interesting. The recording is of high quality. The manner of performance is unusual. But the vocal pisses me off)

Pictures At An Exhibition by Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Feb 23 2024

A non-trivial look at Mussorgsky. Great ideas and unprecedented quality of execution.

Led Zeppelin II by Led Zeppelin
Feb 24 2024

Plant's divine voice and Page's fat guitar with an awesome solo in Whole Lotta Love. It's just a balm to my ears. Awesome.

Sticky Fingers by The Rolling Stones
Feb 25 2024

Thats good american sound...

Bookends by Simon & Garfunkel
Feb 26 2024

Very neat and beautiful texts, voices and pleasant arrangements. And of course Mrs. Robunson...

Teen Dream by Beach House
Feb 27 2024

A very tasty mix of Coldplay and Bondax.

The Dreaming by Kate Bush
Feb 28 2024

Nice vocals, but I found it a bit monotonous.

Parachutes by Coldplay
Feb 29 2024

I really like Coldpyay's first album. Its British sound of an old concert hall with the airy guitar of Jonny Buckland and the magic and melancholic vocals of Chris Martin... I love this slightly overdriven rock'n'roll phase of their career with an analog, almost acoustic sound.

Devil Without A Cause by Kid Rock
Mar 01 2024

Old good Kid Rock. Fat guitar and punchy rap lyrics were evaluated in flammable stuff. I love this drive and cowboy spirit. For me this album is the best of Kid and significant for this epoch of 90th.

Since I Left You by The Avalanches
Mar 03 2024

Not really impressed with the album.

Walking Wounded by Everything But The Girl
Mar 07 2024

The voice of Tracey Thorn is awesome.
