Song from the High Chair" offers a nostalgic journey through a familiar sonic landscape. With its blend of New Wave melodies and Progressive Pop rhythms, the album taps into a sound that was prevalent during its time. While not groundbreaking, it's a comfortable listen, reminiscent of the era's musical charm. Even though is not groundbreaking, it does not mean that it does not have more than one classic new wave song in its track list. The album's strength lies in its first half, where each track exudes a captivating energy, drawing listeners in with infectious hooks and memorable refrains. However, as the album progresses, there's a noticeable dip in momentum. The latter tracks lack the same spark and cohesion found in the earlier ones, leaving the listener yearning for the vibrancy that characterized the beginning of the journey. Overall, "Song from the High Chair" serves as a pleasant reminder of a bygone musical era, offering moments of delight and familiarity, particularly in its strong opening tracks. While the latter half may not shine as brightly, the album still manages to leave a lasting impression with its nostalgic charm. At its peak it presents it self as the pinnacle of New Age, but at its lows it comes out like any other New Age album relevant in that time period. 8/10

"Strangeways, Here We Come" by The Smiths falls short of expectations, especially for newcomers like me. Because this is the first time I am listening to a whole Smiths album and its a very rough introduction. It lacks the innovation and depth that their peers had in that time period. While some tracks hint at their potential, the album overall feels bland and uninspired. I can see why a lot of people like them, but this is just not for me.

One of the calssic hip-hop albums,

Ok, i guess a lot of people hear never listened to real heavy metal and death metal before. This is a classic heavy metal album and deserves its spot in the metal hall of fame. It set the grounds for death metal. I know this isn't for everybody (not my favourite metal genre also),but...Just because you don't understand the music you don't have to sh*t on it :)

This is beautiful African music. But for me it gets a bit boring because its mostly acapella. Nothing bad with that, but I like African music that has rhythm, not having the fantastic african instruments that "breathe" rhythm (djembe,maracas) in any song is a sin.

Good but nit the best nina simone album by a long shot.

Okay, wow, this was really bland. I don’t feel like this live performance holds up at all. I understand that maybe it was big back in the day, especially with it being filmed in Japan, but I just don’t find anything special about it. It’s extremely boring, and I’d call it microwaved hard rock.

My friend, who’s a huge Lana fan, warned me that this album would be mediocre or bad to prepare me for my first listen—and she wasn’t wrong. I’ve heard some of her other albums, and they were okay (not really my cup of tea), but this one is just boring, depressed teen music. I’m sorry, Lana fans, but this album doesn’t offer anything special..

Three good songs can’t hold up a mediocre album, and I just don’t understand why this one gets so much praise. Sure, I get that the three big tracks were massive, but come on—the rest of the album is boring and repetitive. Nothing special, to keep it simple.

I love them i cant say nothing else

This is far from my first time listening to this album, so I can’t offer a fresh first impression—but I enjoyed it just as much as always.

While I do find the album a bit repetitive at times, it’s undeniably a staple in the punk world and deserves respect for what it represents. Despite its flaws, I genuinely enjoyed listening to it.

First of all, WHAT? I get that this is industrial, artistic music, and I know it’s not for everyone (if it’s for anyone at all), but I just don’t find any intrinsic enjoyment or value in this album. It feels like an abstract artistic piece that has to be accepted as such, but as pure music, it’s almost impossible to listen to. It’s like a total destruction of music itself, and I feel like that was probably the point. Honestly, it sounds like if Aphex Twin were deaf, handicapped, and had no sense of music whatsoever. As art, you could rank it higher, but as music, this is pure malakia.

Somebody’s probably going to hang me for this, but I found the whole album boring. I just don’t get the point of it. I’ve heard some of her newer songs, and they were good, but this debut didn’t do it for me. After doing some research, I saw that even her fan base isn’t too fond of this album and ranks it at the bottom of their tier lists. I’m definitely expecting more from her other albums and will be sure to listen to more, because this can’t be the Björk everyone’s hyping her up to be.

Mediocre album at best. The 2 songs that are worth something in this album are not enough to help it push out of mediocracy.

I absolutely love this album—I've listened to it before, and it’s just so good. I’ve been on the hunt for it on vinyl for what feels like ages now.

This was my first time listening to a whole album from Oasis, and I have to say, GOD DAMN, IT'S LONG (pause). But honestly, it’s a bit too long. I really enjoyed a lot of the tracks—they’re iconic in British rock and you still hear them everywhere. However, I think if the third CD wasn't part of the album, this would have been a solid 5/5.

I loved The White Stripes a lot when I was younger, but his solo album, for me, was pretty meh. It just didn’t hit the same way.

While I like the band, I do think they have better albums than this one. It feels a bit bland and doesn’t really stand out as something special.

One of the most impactful groups of early hip-hop, no doubt. While I feel their songs don’t hold up quite as well as those by other legends like Eric B. & Rakim, Big Daddy Kane, or De La Soul, this album is undeniably a classic. That said, it comes off a bit bland and repetitive for my taste.

I’ve loved Lorde since her very first album, and I found Melodrama to be an excellent follow-up. Even as someone who isn’t a huge fan of pop music, I can’t deny how fantastic her work is. This album is no exception—it’s another brilliant display of her unique take on pop.

Liked it but i think their later work was a bit better, and its a live album so thats a plus from my side

Without realizing it, I already knew many of the songs on this album—and for good reason. I think it’s their best work, packed with hits from start to finish. Hats off to them for delivering such an iconic record on just their second album. Overall, it’s an incredibly enjoyable listen and a true staple of the alt-rock genre.

I’m already familiar with their discography, so I know many of their hit songs and albums, but I find this one to be their most uninspired work. It feels like it runs a bit too long. Don’t get me wrong—it’s a fun album, and its cultural impact on Latino rap was massive. Still, it just doesn’t resonate with me as much as their later projects.

A very enjoyable and solid country rock album. This was my first time listening, and I have to say, while a few tracks could be stronger, the majority of the album is great.

The album has its moments, but it feels a bit bloated. A few tracks truly stand out, like "Breakdown," "My All," and "Butterfly," which are undeniable highlights. If the tracklist were trimmed down, the album could have been exceptional. As it stands, it’s just okay. Also, "The Roof" feels like a missed opportunity; it features an incredible Mobb Deep sample, but the instrumental doesn’t quite live up to its potential.

4/5 This was my first time listening to Willie Nelson, and the album had a warm, mellow vibe that perfectly matched the December mood. The length felt just right, and it was a soothing, enjoyable listen overall. The subtle jazz influence was a standout for me, especially as someone who loves jazz. That said, a bit more variation in tone or tempo could have elevated it to perfection while maintaining its cozy atmosphere.
