3.5/5 or higher. Not the first time I listen to a Beastie Boys album but the first time I do enjoy it.

The first song is awesome but some exotic sounds are a bit too much for me. The part is portuguese is also very well done and caught me by surprise.

Aimee Mann
2/5
Quite uninspired. Did not pay enough attention to be able to tell if the lyrics were good or not.
3/5
Slightly unconventional, good sound quality, but it felt like something was missing. O-K-A-Y - is how I'd spell it in my dictionary.
The Undertones
2/5
Not very impressed. It could be that modern bands have refined this style so much that this one album sounds too simplistic/dated to me.
Will I listen to any song here again? Unlikely.
Leftfield
1/5
Could not finish it. May only be listenable in clubs and if intoxicated.
The Bees
1/5
Boring and painful portuguese pronunciation.
Metallica
4/5
Pretty good album but a bit too much for my taste nowadays.
Hot Chip
2/5
A bit boring but I at least managed to listen through it.
Led Zeppelin
4/5
This album is quite good. The guitar is easily 10/10.
Roxy Music
2/5
The album cover suggests -1/5, but the content was okayish.
The Boo Radleys
2/5
I hit play. I leave my room. I return a few minutes later - by then I had already forgotten that this was playing. As I open the door, a very loud and strange sound welcomes me - it was around 0:51 of "Upon 9th and Fairchild". I was very confused for a second. This earns this album at least one more star.
Norah Jones
2/5
If this album was a Pokémon, it would be of normal type.
Steely Dan

Quite boring...
Thelonious Monk
3/5
I had listened to something by this guy before but actually enjoyed it more this time. Quite nice.
Jimi Hendrix

Little Wing is by far the best thing here, but Spanish Castle Magic is also quite nice. The album is not "Electric Ladyland" but it is good.

"Safesurfer" is by far the best song here, I like it a lot. It would be even better if at least 1 unit of effort was spent on writing proper lyrics.
3★ just because of this one song.

Beatles
3/5
From Disc 1 I'd say only 'While my Guitar Gently Weeps' is really 4+ stars song, 'Blackbird' is okayish and the rest is mediocre at best. 'Ob-la-Di Ob-la-Da' is exactly what I have in mind when I think of The Beatles: silly songs that make me question the sanity of people around me.
'Helter Skelter' is nice as well, and overall I'd say Disc 2 is more interesting, even though it has some shitty songs in there.
The album deserves 2 stars, but I will give it another one because having one song that I like a lot is already quite a feat.
David Bowie
2/5
Quite bad and overrated, as usual from Bowie.
"Be My Wife" at least caught my attention for a while, so he gets a star for that.
The Cramps

not what I expected.
Rage Against The Machine

I was expecting this to be a 3* album, since I've never liked "Killing in the name" that much, but "Bombtrack" is such a banger that made me immediately reconsider this. Easily one of the best opening tracks I've ever seen.

Taylor Swift
1/5
1.5/5 and obviously does not belong to such a list.
Someone has already written the review I'd like to write, so I will just copy it here:
"... Essentially what I hate about "pop music" is this perfect vocal-style, I like my vocals with some grit or humanness. This just feels so manufactured and processed. Instrumentally it's all fine, it's just pop vocals ruin it for me 100%. I have nothing against Taylor Swift as she clearly is successful at what she's doing, but it's just not for me in any capacity. Furthermore my impression is she has no different lyrical content beyond relationship woes which gets old, but I get it... that's a huge market."

There are some elements that I really like here but somehow I can't see myself listening to this too much, I feel saturated after a few songs (Night Prowler is quite nice though). It would probably sound better to my ears with cruder production and audio quality lol.

David Bowie
3/5
"Another one by this guy?" was my first thought. As an officially accredited non-Bowie fan, let me say I wasn't very excited. Much to my disappointment, I must admit that it was surprisingly listenable, which leads me to suspect that this 1001 Albums list is nothing but a big, elaborate scam to repeatedly expose people to David Bowie and to slowly change their opinion on the guy.

Someone reviewed this and complained about how this evokes a smoke-filled club atmosphere that doesn't actually exists in the real world. That may be true and Baudrillard probably has something to say regarding this critique. I, on the other hand, am content with the fact that I don’t have to sit in a nicotine-fogged room to enjoy a great voice.

I really don't understand this one. How the fuck is this album so highly rated? I rarely skip songs but there is no way I can listen to something like "Bitch, don't kill my vibe" - that gotta be some of the worst vocals I've listened in this whole 1001 album thing... "Backseat Freestyle" has some nice elements but holy shit are the lyrics BAD and this seems to be a common theme.
I guess the narrative elements in some other songs are ok but nothing that impresses me much...

the fact that people are still pissed and giving this album 1/5 due to the lyrics makes it deserving of an additional 0.5 points.
