1001 Albums Summary

iconic Bobby McGee and Mercedes Benz overall I don´t like the voice

very solid 80´s (Funk-/Hard-)Rock with relevant lyrics best-known: Cult of Personality and Glamour Boys similar to the band Extreme

Leaves me without any emotions

below average, boring and much too long

I like the guitar-play. Over all a very solid album without smashhits or fails. Not an easy 4-star-rating but for sure better than average. Feels more like a 3.5.

I´m really not into jazz. Even if the album had influenced many musicians and might be instrumental brilliant, for me it´s just background music in a bar. Sorry for that.

nice to listen to. I like the music and the musical concept of the album but I dig it down one star because I don´t like the vocals.

Nice beats keep my feet moving. Sounds a bit like an electronic version of "The Strokes". Highlights: North American Scum, All My Friends, Watch The Tapes, New York,... - but also some weaker numbers.

It was hard to even stand the first song. The rest of the album varies from an "Radiohead"-arrangement for either a church- or a cat- choir.

Because it´s just the Beatles I had to listen to it several times. At the date of release "Revolver" had sure been a 10 out of 5 stars. But from todays perspective for me it´s just a very good, well aged album.

nice and groovy but not really my favorite style of music best known: chain of fools

Over all a well crafted, round album. Instrumantally too much 60´s.

Besides the well known "Metal Guru" - that got me hooked the whole day - it´s just a solid classic rock album.

"The XX" created an unique sound that you identify directly when you hear it. Nothing I would like to listen on further albums. But anytime I pick this special one it works perfect for me as an album and I listen to it with pleasure. By the way: The first generated album from the list I actually own. 😉

Of corse the song "Imagine" stands out. "Jealous Guy", "Crippled Inside", "How Do You Sleep?" and "Gimme Some Truth" are not bad. Compared to his big name it didn´t fully match my expectations!

Gave it a few tries but even as a Radiohead-fan I can´t get used to this. I really can´t stand this vocals and had to rate it down further just because of the voice.

Timeless

"Kids" blasts. The rest sounds more like a wannabe. Very ambitious - but failed for me.

Solid Indie-Folk-Rock-album. Unfortunately not even a single song stands out and stood in my head. 2.5

80s (disco-)rock that not hooks me any more. Not a single rememberable song.

Just The Beatles! It seems they had not been able to do a bad or at least an average album. favorite: Come Together worst: Oh! Darling 4,5

Even the hits "Ray of Light", "Frozen" and "Power of Goodbye" don´t convince me at all. The rest is not remarkable and therefore the whole album is much too long.

Very nice, good-old-fashioned country-music. Slightly aged.

Never heard of him before and I was quite surprised by this album. Sounds like Bob Dylan and The Clash are having a pint together. 😉 3,5

Never heared of them before. Somehow the sound reminds me on "The Bangles" which I like. Musically a blast. Fun to listen to although the vocals are not my favorite. A tricky 3,5-stars-rating turned into a 4 by the cover-artwork.

OK - there ist the hit-single "Don´t You Want Me". But overall it´s not my thing.

solid hard-rock with metal-touch but nothing remarkable.

I´m really not into Hip-Hop/Rap but this one sucks less than others.

From the musical point of view worth listening, although it´s not my favorite gengre. The stupid screaming in some songs destroys the whole thing a lot for me. 1,5

For the first run it seems like background-music but it is better than that. It has a nice groove and is instrumentally very good. A mixture between traditonal elements, jazz and club music.

The hit-single "Tainted Love" stands out but the rest feels more or less like the title of the opening-track - "Frustation".

For sure musically great but simply not my prefered gengre.

How would this one sound with modern live-recording-technology even it is already that good.

Remembers me on some film-music from the sixties. A pleasant diversion from the recent albums. But sounds a bit too aged for my taste.

The opener leaves me with the question why don´t switch directly to an Hendrix-album. The middle-section (tracks 2-6) is nice and groovy. The last song again quite weird... After the first look at the cover and some reviews I had high expectations on this album. Unfortunately they were not matched. Definitely not my every-day-choise. 2,5

Nice brit-pop but nothing special. Especially the inexpressive voice don´t convinces me and messes up the whole album. 2,5

Very listenable, well produced pop-album with the hit-single "Beautiful". Maybe little too long.

Sorry for that, but what the hell have a ruined voice with an uninspired orchestra to do on this list.

Solid live-rock-album with the all their hits. I generally question the significanse of that kind of a live-album for this list. 2,5

Nice, groovy beats the whole album long. Most of the time I like the music more than the vocals and lyrics on this. The additional songs on the double LP compared with the single vinyl edition cost him the fourth star. Sometimes less is more! Favourite songs: "1999", "Free", "International Lover"

Never heared of Jazz-Rock before. Musically not bad and after tracks 1 and 2 I´m on at least 2 stars for that. But the voice on track 3 is an imposition. And why is there over 4 minutes annoying noise on track 4 before the music starts. I really don´t like to be pissed of by an album.

This one comes over like a thunderstorm. Short and heavy. Not my every-day pick. Nevertheless I like the sound and with less sreaming it would be an easy 3-stars-rate. 2,5

Oh my god. I´m so sick of all that Robert Wyatt stuff! Are there really no other remarkable albums in this world from someone who at least can sing?

Nice beat, great voice. A pleasure to listen although there are no hit singles on it.

Never heared of them before. At the one hand sounds very much like 60´s and on the other hand very vital. Reminds me on various later bands that I love! 3,5

There it comes to light - the unique Tom-Petty-sound. And there are the first of his hits: "Breakdown", "Anything That´s Rock´n´Roll" and "American Girl".

Just OK. Not a single outstanding song and overall too long to be good :(

Lenny has the ability to play some nice guitar riffs. There are also some sparks like the well known songs "Let Love Rule", "I Build This Garden For Us" and first of all "Mr. Cab Driver". The rest of the album bores me or sucks most of the time. 2,5

This one gives me headache. If I want to hear speed-metal I pick a Metallica-album and if I want to hear someone upchuck than I go out and have a party.

Few nice and groovy elements, but overall it did nothing to me. Too much downbeat. Favourite: "Black Steel"

Although I´m familiar with R.E.M. I have never heared this whole album before. And surprisingly one can already find all of their genius on this debut but not in the later perfection. Favourite: "Radio Free Europe", "Pilgrimage", "Sitting Still"...

Like the Album-Cover indicates - Buy this one and burn it immediatly. Boring, repetitive, trivial and therefore way too long. Neither I hate this album at all nor it sucks but I could´nt care less about it. 1,5

Very solid folk-album. I like the vocals and the music although it is not very diversified. Not a clear 3-stars-rating. 2,5

Very listenable although it is not my favorite style of music. Often reminds me on christmas songs. ;)

I´m always struggling with Jimi Hendrix. Of course there is his outstanding, groundbreaking guitarplay. But at the other hand the music is too much sixties for me and his vocals are also not my favour. The rating-task becomes even more confusing with all the different editions.

I liked it although it is missing some hits. "Fools Of Gold" at the end messes it up a bit. 2,5

I generally appreciate Stevie Wonder, especially his vocals and his harmonica-play. "Superstition" stands out and I like "You Are The Sunshine Of My Life", "Big Brother" and "Believe" but this whole album don´t clicks for me.

There is a reason this one is Bon Jovi´s best selling album! It contains nearly all of their all-time-smash-hits like "You Give Love A Bad Name", "Livin´ On A Prayer", "Wanted Dead Or Alive" and "Never Say Goodbye", it is slightly diversified and has only a few weaker numbers. Pretty good stadium-rock 🎸 to make you feel good, your shirt wet and the floor slippery. 😉 A crystal-clear ⭐⭐⭐⭐-rating

Oh, how do I love that Neil Young acoustic guitar with harmonica shit on the A-side! "My My, Hey Hey (Out Of The Blue)" is an anthem. And how do I love the energy of that grungy B-side! 🤘🎸 By the way - "It´s better to burn out than to fade away..."😉 Beyond that the recording-quality of this album is outstanding. I only rate it down one star because I question any kind of live-recordings on this list.

The well-known "le freak"-loop is very catchy and "i want your love" is ok. The rest of the album sonds not that "Chic" but very repetitive to me and don´t convinces me at all.

"At Fillmore East" contains some wonderful blues-rock-jams, is musically great and has got a pretty good recording quality. I rate it down because I generally question live-albums on this list knowing this is probably the only way to capture a jam session. And maybe two 20-minutes-songs are too much?!

Eminem has got a signature-sound that I like in almost every single song. Although "The Slim Shady LP" is - compared to other hip-hop/rap-albums - quite entertaining, one hour of hip-hop/rap bores me. Simply not my prefered gengre. 🤷‍♂️ 2,5

A real alternative listening-experience. Sometimes weired, sometimes interesting and always with a driving beat. That´s why I´m doing this project - but definitive not a every day choice. 2,5

Neither heared of John Martyn nor this album before. Because the album "solid air" seemed quite challenging to me, I had to give it a few tries. And it is growing with every try. Very diversified Folk-Rock-Jazz. Not a single weak or aged number. Definitely worth listening! But very hard for me to decide between 3 or 4 stars!

Funny mood throughout the whole album. Musically not exactly my cup of tea and in addition too aged for my taste.

I really like Bob Dylans Voice, his lyrics, his guitar- and harmonica-play in almost every single song on this album but for a whole album I am missing something extra. 🤷‍♂️ Favourite songs: "Blowin´in the Wind", "Masters of War", "A Hard Rain´s A-Gonna fall" 3,5

From nowadays perspective I really can´t see the magic of Alice Cooper in general and this special album any more. Ok - there are some nice songs like "Elected", "Billion Dollar Babie" or "No More Mr. Nice Guy" but for me it´s just another classic/hard-rock-album. 🤷‍♂️

The first three songs are nice and smooth-flowing. "Andalucia", "Antarctica Starts Here" and "Half Past France" are a bit lame. "Macbeth" finally has a nice beat and much more energy. Overall I don´t like his expressionless voice. 2,5

I really like Stevie Wonders voice and I love his harmonica-play. But this special album doesn´t hook me at all. I find not a single remarkable song on it. 2,5

If you want to learn how to stretch a good hook or musically idea or frase out until it sucks - this album is a perfect lesson. Even from songs like "Good Times" I´m longing for a much shorter single-version. Boring and repetitive. Bring it to the dancefloor but it´s simply not the stuff for an album!

After the fist few review I was looking forward to this album. But what can I say: I got disappointed. Really nothing special there.

The whole album is too less diversified and too much downbeat. Sounds more like lounge- or film-music to me. favourite: "Sour Times", "Wandering Stars", "Glory Box" 2,5

Oh my god. This is a damn good album. How could I miss them until now? There are so many things on this record that I love at other bands (The Strokes, U2, ....) - except one thing: I would love to like the voice more.

I can´t understand the hype about Michael Jackson now, hadn´t understood it than. Ok - This is a well-produced, million-selling album. And with "Beat It" and "Billie Jean" it contains some of his all-time favourite songs and most popular pop-songs ever. "Wanna Be Startin Somthin", "Thriller" and "Human Nature" are ok too. But that´s it for me - and I strictly rate the music on this album and do not rate his controversial personality. 3,5

"Maid Of Orleans" alone don´t makes it a good album for me. (I rated the 9-tracks original album.) 2,5

It´s just rap - but it´s ok.

Neil Young is always a solid pick for me. And "After The Gold Rush" is a very well crafted round album without fails. Favourite songs: "Southern Man", "When You Dance I Can Really Love"

"Sunshine Of Your Love" alone makes it a 3-stars-rate. The rest of the album is listenable but too much sixties for me. 2,5

The album starts strong and never lowers the level. On top it has got the hit-singles "Common People" and "Disco 2000". Very diversified. Fun to listen to every single time. Britpop at it´s best. Simply a "Different Class" ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ While I actually own this one as a CD I'd like to give extra credit to the Cover-Concept and Artwork with the picture frame and all the different fotos.

Band and album had been all new to me. And this album seems to divide the reviewers in Lovers🥰 and Haters🤮. For me it is somewhere in between. I hear many things that I like. But it´s - like the strange title indicates - also very weird. Partly sounds like someone singing in a room with both the TV and the radio on.🥴 Glad to discover this interesting, alternative-listening-experience. Definitely not an every-day choise but I get more and more used to it.😉 Favourite: "Cannibal Resource", "Temecula Sunrise", "Useful Chamber", "No Intention" Worst: "Remade Horizon", "Fluorescent Half Dome" 3,5

My first thoughts while listening to this: "Smokie - or what?" Just ok. But nothing special or remarkable for me. 2,5

I like those beats combined with the guitar on "Rock Box". "Hard Times" is ok. And "It´s Like That" is an classic! 2,5

Sounds like Elton John sounds. Some ok numbers like "Tiny Dancer" but overall too many versions of "Candle In The Wind" 😉 Not really bad but without his charismatic voice and personality noone would talk about a single song from this album. 2,5

Gunfire drums, screaming guitars, relavant lyrics and melodies that stay in your ear all day long. This is what the "WAR"-album is about and it´s why U2 became rock-superstars! With "Sunday Bloody Sunday" and "New Year´s Day" it contains two eternal rock-anthems! Some weaker numbers cost it the fifth star for me. 4,5

Nice, driving beat the entire album long. But beyond that, not my cup of tea.

The two well-known songs "Take It Easy" and "Peaceful Easy Feeling" are taking you on an endless highway. But the rest of this album sounds just ok and maybe a bit aged to me.

Good mood the whole album long. I like the punkish sound with all the brass instruments.🎺 Very entertaining and round album without any outstanding titles. Musically ⭐⭐⭐⭐ but the vocals sometimes can be annoying. 3,5

20 seconds of "Block Rockin' Beats" are worth listening from this album because there is nothing remarkable more to come! Repetitive, boring and too long to be enjoyable anyway. 🙉 Really can´t understand how this album could top the charts. 🤦‍♂️ Dig a hole for this!😉 1,5

Smooth Jazz-Pop. Nice voice. Music for a bar or jazz-club. But bit too lame for my taste. Especially for an album on fathers-day! 😉 2,5

His Bowieness 👑 with another masterpiece! Although the time of Bowies hit-singles is long over, one can find here only great songs. Very diversified. Excellent production. High creativity. And what I especially like is the rockish note.🎸 Over 50 minutes of musical pleasure. You can hear this album the whole day long without getting bored - and continue "The Next Day" the same way. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Can someone please, please take their food off the cat-tail.🙉 Sorry, but I´m really not into this boring r&b stuff. 1,5

Consistently nice, hard, driving beats and guitars 🤘 but the screaming voice can be annoying and destroys it a lot for me. One or another track might be ok, but I definitly can´t stand a whole album of this sort of music on every day! 1,5

What a musical contrast to yesterdays Slipknot 😉 Not exactly my prefered style of music, but this album does me no harm. Overall a bit too aged for my taste. 2,5

Never heared this whole album before, but within the first few seconds I´m already familar with this sound. Just the Stones. Unique voice, nice guitar-riffs, bluesy songs, lovely saxophone. 👄👅 Some of their well-known songs "Brown Sugar", "Wild Horses" and "Dead Flowers". Very round album. Favourite: "Bitch", "Sister Morphine"

The music is straight foreward but the vocals are annoying. 1,5

Nice folk-rock but nothing rememberable. 2,5

A real good live performance but I generally question live-albums on this list because it´s nothing but the greatest hits with a lot of instrumental solos.

There is a reason Brian Eno is the go-to-guy for so many artists when it comes to music production. He´s got a lot of musically talent. But he is lacking at least a remarkable voice for beeing a solo artist. Favourite: "Backwater", "Kurt´s Rejoinder", "King´s Lead Hat" 2,5

Mostly very well performed cover-versions of well-know titles. Nice voice. A bit too aged for my taste. 2,5

Not really my jam, but everyone knows the song "...Baby One More Time". And yes - it´s a million-selling album with a few more hit-singles. But none of the other tracks on this album reaches the quality of the title-track.

I can´t resist Marc Knopflers guitar-play 🎸 and I like his voice and the nice groovy swinging sound. The album contains some of their greatest hit ("Down To The Waterline", "Water Of Love" and "Sultan´s Of Swing") and no real fails. 3,5

Consistently nice songs with not a single track to really stand out. But for me it is always something fundamental missing?! Maybe it´s his inexpressive voice. 🤷‍♂️ favourite: "Green Shirt", "Goon Squad" worst: "Senior Service", "Moods For Moderns" 3,5

For The Who- fans this must be a worship. But I´m not so convinced with their music in special and with live-albums in general. The harmonica on the last track secures this album the second star. 1,5

I can´t stand the voice. Over all quite boring. Just because of "Love Fool" I give them the second star. 1,5

Nothing but solid background-music for me. I definetly prefer the black album from Metallica😉🤘

It´s just Hip Hop but it´s ok. Maybe a bit too long.

Not my cup of tea.🤷

I´m not into jazz. And this album is even more overtwisted than others. 🤯 Some nice tunes but in general no pleasure to listen to for me. 1,5

Mixed emotions for this album. Some parts I really enjoy, but sometimes especially the guitar is almost on the edge to annoying. And I miss some (decent) vocals on most of the tracks. Not an easy 3-stars vote for me but with a few more tries I might get more used to it?! Favorite: "Aisha", "Lever Street" 2,5

Nice beats, nice guitar but for any reason the whole album doesn´t hook me at all. Except the well known "Brass In Pocket" nothing remarkable for me. 2,5

Nothing but maddening saxophone and drum noise🥴 Worst album until now. 0/5

"Been Caught Stealing" I have already known. I like the base lines, the guitar and drums on this album but in total it doesn´t click for me. Favourite: "Three Days"

This album has got almost every facet I love within music, except a decent voice. 🤷‍♂️ Doesn´t sound much like 70´s. Very vital. And it´s astonishing how many songs do remind me on other artists/bands I know. "Chelsea" for example could easily be a Red Hot Chili Peppers classic! 😉 Give it another singer and a modern production and it surely would be a blast even more. Favorite: "Lipstick Vogue", "This Year´s Girl", "The Beat", "Pump It Up", "Radio Radio"

The second Radiohead-album I bought and still one of my favorite. I love the atmospheric, melodic and energetic sound on this album with electronic elements, driving drumbeats and basslines and nice guitars. Very diversified. Favorite tracks: "2 + 2 = 5", "Where I End and You Begin", "The Gloaming", "There there", "A Punchup at a Wedding" 4,5

Never heared of JSBE before, but I got quite surprised by this album. Always wild, sometimes hard to digest, sometimes on the edge to annoying. But if you forget about the starting scream and the last track it´s most of the time fun to listen to. A weird mixture of Stones, Hives, AC/DC and Lenny Kravitz. Not an every day pick.

Intense 15 minutes of Punk. Exactly the amount of this kind of music one can digest. But I wouldn´t consider that an album! It´s just an EP and therefor I give them only two stars. 🤷‍♂️ 2,5

I would never have been listened to stuff like this away from the list. But I really appreciate what I´m hearing. One can hear the talent and although it´s only piano it doesn´t become boring. 2,5

Exept the "Autobahn"-theme nothing to convince me. Just because it is considered as influential I did really expect a lot more from this record.

Never heared of him before. Sounds very much like 60´s to me. I like the atmospheric, dark sound of his voice with orchestra and distorted guitar. Surprisingly this one was growing on me with every listen from background music to a very solid album. Favourite: "You Ain´t The Problem", "Living In Denail", "Hero", "Rolling", "Final Days" 3,5

Never listened to any Jack White outside of the White Stripes before. And there it is again: the energetic White Stripes- sound. 🎸🥁 🎹 But it has widened and developed. Not reduced and pure any more. Much more diversified and even more listenable. No fails. Probably a ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ album but therefor I need a few more listens. Favourite: "Sixteen Saltines", "Weep Themselves To Sleep", "Take Me With You When You Go"

Yes - The Rolling Stones are a great band! And they all are great musicians! And they love to play music - especially the blues! And this album contains their classics "Tumbling Dice", "Sweet Virginia" and "Shine A Light". But like so many others they failed to hold my attention high for the length of a full double album. Even there is not a single bad song. But too less of them really stand out. Often less would be more. 🤷‍♂️ 3,5

Does me no harm. The most remarkable thing about this album for me is its coverdesign.

Pink Floyd has always been solid elevator music for me. Can't understand what makes this album one of the best rated ones🤷‍♂️ 2,5

Although I´m not a Led Zeppelin fan and I have heard it a thousand times, I can´t resit "Whole Lotta Love". "Thank You" and "Ramble On" are good as well. Overall a pretty good classic rock album but not exactly my jam.

For me with Elvis Costello it´s almost like that: voice - meh; music - good. But this time even the music doesn´t convince me. Pretty below average! I can't see any reason why this album is on the list, because there are already other and even better Costello albums listed.

Not exactly my jam but I love the harmonica-play on this album. 3,5

First I thought it´s just ok, but "Frankie Teardrop" made it almost unlistenable for me.

I find it difficult to rate "The Beatles" down because everyone is so used to their songs and sound. And all the songs are short so they don´t suck or bore. The A-side contains the best known "Drive My Car", "Nowhere Man" and "Michelle". The whole B-side for me is not at that level. 3,5

I love "Working Class Hero". "I Found Out" and "Remember" are ok. And I like the music on "Well, Well, Well". But I really don´t need to hear John Lennon scream on a record. One star down! 2,5

"100%", "Sugar Kane", "Theresa´s Sound-World", "Orange Rolls, Angel´s Spit", "Youth Against Fascism", "On The Strip", "Chapel Hill", "Purr" - consistently pretty good grungy songs. But especially on the fist half of the album also some weaker tracks. Hard for me to decide between 3 and 4 stars!

lame🥱

Sometimes reminds me on "Franz Ferdinand" with additional elements of rave- or electronic music or "The Prodigy". But I prefer the original! 🤷‍♂️ Just o.k.

Sounds like "The Beatles" without "The Beatles". Just o.k.

"Rikki Don't Lose That Number" is the well-known opener of this high-quality pop-rock-jazz-blues-album. Not a weak song but also not a single banger for me. 3,5

A few highlights like "My Sweet Lord" or "What Is Life" but over all quite boring. Every single song is way too long and therefore the whole album is much too long! 2,5

Here and then some nice guitar-hints like on "A Minha Menina", "Baby". Nice change from the other albums but not really my jam and over all it sounds a bit too aged for me. favourite: "Ave Gengis Khan"

Quit after track 3🤢

Great voice but not really my favorite style of music. "Respect" secures her the third star. 2,5

🥱

Until today I had known Joy Division only by name. I love the music (⭐⭐⭐⭐) especially the drum and bass work. But as soon the vocals start I don´t like it that much any more. Favourite: "Passover", "A Means to an End", "Twenty Four Hours"

The whole album is very easy listening. Great voice. Soulful music. And of course the outstanding "Let's Stay Together". Not exacly my jam but nonetheless really good. 3,5

"Where Is My Mind?" is an absolut banger!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ And I already loved "Cactus" as a cover by David Bowie not knowing the original is by The Pixies. 🤘 In general I like the music on almost every track. But sometimes for instance on "Something Against You", "River Euphrates" or "Broken Face" I can´t handle the voices. One star down. 3,5

Interesting change from the other albums. Not bad although it is not my prefered style of music. Some nice pieces but not enought to keep my attention for over 70 minutes. "The World's Columbian Exposition Part II...", "Chicago", "The Man of Metropolis Steals Our Hearts" and "They Are Night Zombies!!..." are remarkable for me. 2,5

Can she sing - yes. Sounds every song the same - yes. Well arranged boredom. 🥱 little highlights: "no body, no crime", "long story short"

Unique sound! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 36 intense minutes of energetic guitars and driving rhythm. 🎸🥁 Not a single weak song. Very catchy. Fun to listen to every time.🔁

"What´s Going On" and "Mercy, Mercy Me" are the best known songs from this album. Great voice. Soulful music. But not exacly my jam. Favourite: "Right On" 3,5

Not my cup of tea. Background music. Too aged.

An album I heared of so many times but had´nt listened to before. I can´t resist this iconic performance ⭐⭐⭐⭐ although it is not my prefered style of music! Because I generally question live-albums on this list I rate it down one star.

There are so many songs on this album like "I Feel the Earth Move", "Beautiful", "You've Got a Friend", "Will You Love Me Tomorrow?" and "(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman" that have crossed my way serveral times, not knowing they are from Carole King‼ Unbelievable🤦‍♂️ I love her voice and I like every song on this album although it´s not my prefered style of music. Feels almost like a greatest hits album! Great achievement! 4,5

Bit too lame and bit too aged for me. Even the hit-single "Close To You" doesn´t convince me at all.

"Papa Won't Leave You, Henry" and "Brother, My Cup Is Empty" are o.k. But the whole album don´t catches me at all.

"Parental Discretion Iz Advised" has a nice groove. Because of the Beastie Boys samples on "8 Ball (Remix)" this one is o.k. too. One of the better hip-hop albums but still not my prefered stuff. 2,5

A few nice electronic pieces like on "Groove Is In The Heart" but definitely nothing to come back for me.

Some really nice grooves. More diversified and more listenable than other hip hop stuff. But a full hour of hip hop is still too much for me. 🤷‍♂️

Nice and intense half hour of punk-rock. Musically I´m completely into it. Gave it a few tries, but maybe just because of the vocals or the production or what ever it doesn´t fully click for me. 🤷‍♂️ Favourite: "Search and Destroy", "Gimme Danger", "Raw Power", "I Need Somebody" 3,5

Musically almost funky or groovy. Of course "Psycho Killer" stands out. But even on that song the voice is just annoying! 🙉

❤❤❤❤❤ for "Chan Chan"! A pleasure to listen to although it´s not my prefered style of music. 3,5

Can´t stand the voice. Quit after track 3.

Really not easy to digest. A bit too wild/weird for me although I´m into grunge/rock. A few more tracks like "Human Cannonball" or "Graveyard Pt. 2" would please me. Weak two stars for this. 1,5

Besides the well-known title track "Connected" and "Step It Up" nothing remarkable for me. Just 90s electronic music. 2,5

Never heared of them before. Musically reminds me very much of "Placebo" which I love - except the vocals. Not a single outstanding song but also no complete fails. 3,5

Metallica at their most accessible. An instant ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐‼ I own this album for years and it still bangs like at first time. 🤘 The album is packed with Metallicas all-time classics. And none of these songs sounds aged. One hour of excellent power-metal!

Nice reggae album with no hits or fails. I like the cover artwork! Favourite: "Tyler" 2,5

I really like the concept of the album - metal with orchestra 🤘🎼! But I would love if they would have dived even more into the orchestra arrengements! Because some songs fit better in this concept than others I would rather condense it to one disc. Nonetheless it is almost a greatest hits collection. 3,5

Never heared of them before. Nothing remarkable. Sounds too much like a church choir to me. favourite: "Your Protector" 2,5

Listenable, but old fashioned country music is not really my jam. 2,5

Except "Goin' Out West" nothing that holds my attention. I like the music much more than the voice! 1,5

There is already the "The Cure"-sound but nothing remarkable. 🥱 2,5

Just o.k. Easy listening.

He wants one and gets two. best: "Movies of Myself", "14th Street" and "Beautiful Child"

Although I´m not into Hip-Hop I can´t resist the Run D.M.C. sound on this. The album contains the bangers "It's Tricky" and "Walk This Way" and some other good tracks like "Raising Hell", "You Be Illin'" and "Proud to Be Black". A pretty solid pick! 3,5

Not a single outstanding track but constantly nice funky tunes of guitar, rhythm and brass instruments. Buoyantly through the day!

I like his voice. But nothing I would listen to a whole album long. Simply not my prefered style of music. 🥱 2,5

O.K. but not my jam🤷‍♂️

His Bowieness👑 shows his creativity and talent and will to reinvent himself for the last time. Not his best but still a pretty strong album. "Sue..." costs him the ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ for me. Beyond that it´s a great production. 4,5

George Michael or what? Just solid background music for me🤷 2,5

Another never ending hour of hip hop without anything remarkable.

Nice change from the other albums. I like the afro-and-jazz-combination. But it´s hard to rate! The original two track LP is only an EP and therefore I would give it only two stars. The 4 tracks CD reissue is ok. 2,5

Maybe the imaginary film would be great. The music album definitely isn´t for me. Gave it a few tries but I really can´t see the genius so many others see here. 🤷‍♂️ best: "Miles", "Achieved in the Valley in the Dolls", "The Sweetest Embrace" 2,5

Impressive voice. But not really my jam. Weak three stars for this. best known: "Honey", "My All"

Nice pop-rock the whole album long but nothing to stand out. (Rated the 12 tracks original release disc) favourite: "Unmade Love", "Vagabond Holes"

The Doors introduced with this album their unique sound of vocals, keyboards, guitar and drums. It has got two eternal rock anthems with "Break On Through" and "Light My Fire" and except "End Of The Night" and "The End" (that got a bit too long for my taste) only strong tracks. Great debut! 4,5

Sounds like a bootleg to me. I generally like this kind of music and I´m sure it was a hell of experience to attend this concert 🤘 but neighter the recording quality nor the quality of the performance of the singer and the band matches my nowadays demands. Because I generally question live albums on this list I rate it down further one star. 1,5

I like the music and energy of this punk rock album. But the vocals are not my favour. 2,5

The album contains the song "No Woman, No Cry" but not in the well known version. The rest of the album is o.k. Weak three stars for that. 2,5

Slightly diversified, chilling electronic record. best known: "Unfinished Sympathy" worst: "One Love" just because of the vocals

The album in total is not my cup of tea. Just because of the really good hit single "People Hold On" (feat. Lisa Stansfield) I give it the three stars. Worst: "In Deep" 2,5

The well-known "Drive" stands out. "Privilege" and "Pardon Me" are o.k. too. The rest of the album is just good, hard alternative rock but nothing special and a bit too same same for my taste.

I like her voice and really enjoyed this album although there isn´t a single hit on and it mostly contains cover-versions. favourite: "You Don't Own Me", "Will You Love Me Tomorrow" 2,5

I like the music but sometimes the vocals are not my favour. favourite: "Maps", "Y Control" 2,5

This album hits my sweet spot.🍯 An epic, groundbreaking sound. Only great songs built up an even better unit. Guitar, vocals, drums, bass, production - all is top notch. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Johnny Cash had the ability to build this unique, reduced, atmospheric sound of dark voice and guitar, so even all these cover-versions sound like Johnny Cash. And just because of the different origins of the songs this album sounds more diversified than other Johnny Cash albums. Nontheless a whole album of these sad songs is too much for me. favourite: "Hurt", "Personal Jesus" 3,5

Only good and mostly raw indie-rock-songs. But I´m not 100% into her voice. favourite: "Dress", "Hair", "Joe" weak four stars for this album 3,5

This album held a few surprises for me, because I had not known that the blueprint for "Gangsta’s Paradise" with "Pastime Paradise" is by Stevie Wonder and George Michaels "As" is originally by Stevie Wonder too. In addition there are the well known hits "Sir Duke", "Isn't She Lovely" and "Another Star". But besides all these hits the album is too long for me and has too many songs that don´t catch me at all. As often - less would be more 🤷‍♂️ As always his harmonica-play is great! 3,5

Besides "Aint No Other Man" and "Oh Mother" Disc one is just o.k. for me. Disc two alone would easy be a 3+ pop album. But both discs together are way too much! favourite: "Candyman", "Hurt" 2,5

Some well-known songs like "Tutti Frutti" but over all bit too aged and bit too same same for my taste. 2,5

Nice coutry-rock album. Easy on the ears but maybe a bit too long?! I like him most on this, when he is more into rock. favourite: " New York, New York", "Firecracker", "Nobody Girl", "Gonna Make You Love Me", "Touch, Feel & Lose", "Tina Toledo´s Street Wlakin' Blues" 3,5

This album has an even too big variety of sounds for my taste. And nothing that hooks me. Only things I have heared before by other artists in an even better way. favourite: "Sidewalk Serfer Girl" 2,5

The album contains his megahits "Red Rain", "Sledgehammer", "Don't Give Up" and "Big Time"! The other weaker numbers in this cost him the five stars for me.

Except the weaker ones "Peace On Earth" and "Grace" I like every song on this album. And of course there are the hits "Beautiful Day", "Stuck In A Moment..." and "Elevation". Not as iconic like "The Joshua Tree" or "Achtung Baby" but a really nice and homogenic album. Weak ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐. 4,5

Of course "Heart Of Gold" as an all time heavyweight stands out! Except the two weaker numbers "There´s A World" and "Words" only great songs on this album. 4,5

While having this album pop up, I immediately had "Why Does It Always Rain On Me" in my ear. This says a lot - about this specific song! But "Writing To Reach You", "Driftwood", "The Last Laugh Of The Laughter" and "Turn" are good as well. Over all a well crafted, very melodic and melancholic album. Weak four stars for that. favourite: "Blue Flashing Light" (hidden track😉) 3,5

Besides the harp-play, old-fashioned country is not my jam.

This more electronic kind of reggae is a nice change from the recent albums. Never heared of him before but I don´t think I´ll come back. Nothing that really hooks me.🤷‍♂️ favourite: "Sunday Shining", "Your Love Gets Sweeter"

I like their sound. And with the hit-singles "Tonight, Tonight", "Bullet With Butterfly Wings" and especially "1979"‼ they had the basis for 40 mindblowing minutes. But a double album with almost two hours running time is a task much greater artists have already failed. And so have the Smashing Pumpkins for me too! One star down for not cutting it down to the (great) essence. 2,5

For me it´s only very good backgroundmusic in a bar.🤷‍♂️ 2,5

1. I don´t like the synthe and doodle-doodle-sound. 2. I question live-albums on this list. positive: it has only 38 minutes running-time.

o.k. but not my jam. 🤷‍♂️

O.K. some songs on this album might be a bit too long but with the anthems "Bittersweet Symphony" and "The Drugs Don´t Work" and other great songs like "Sonnet" and "Lucky Man" there would be enough potential for a ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐album with about 45 minutes playing time. Unfortunately there is also a forgettable rest that makes it in total 76 minutes. 😞 3,5

I know - Everything on this album is that bombastic and always on the edge to too much - but I love it! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Nice funky mood the whole album long - but nothing that hooks me. 2,5

35 minutes of nice punk rock, although there is no outstanding track. 2,5

I appreciate their lyrical points but I simply can´t stand one hour of hip hop. favourite: "Can't Do Nuttin' For Ya, Man!" 1,5

Some nice tunes but a bit too old fashioned for me.

The original version of this album got quite short and holds nothing remarkable for me although I like this kind of 90´s rock. The later added "Mrs. Robinson"- cover version secures them the three stars.

Pretty o.k. and listenable for a hip-hop album. Strong two stars. 2,5

Two Banger "(You Gotta) Fight For Your Right (To Party)" and "No Sleep Till Brooklyn" plus some more solid tracks add up to a nice rockish🤘🎸 hip-hop album in best Run D.M.C. style. Hard for me to decide between three and four stars. 3,5

The album holds the three mega hits "Take On Me", "Hunting High And Low" and "The Sun Always Shines On TV". But the rest of the album is a bit too lame for my taste and don´t matches the quality of those three anthems. 3,5

What I´ve learned: The well known "You Can Leave Your Hat On" by Joe Cocker is only a cover version😉 Never heared of Randy Newman before but this album is definitely worth a listen! 3,5

For me this sound is the essence of rock.🎙🎸🥁🎹 No song like the other. The 50 minutes of the album fly by. A perfect workout for your speakers 🔊 and a chance to get to know all your neighbors.😉

Musically a bit lame but just o.k. Sometimes his whining voice can be annoying. worst: "Music Is Love", "I'd Swear There Was Somebody Here"

Oh man do I love "Paranoid" and "Iron Man"🤘 But for me the whole album turned from revolutionary then to just a good one now. 🤷‍♂️

One Certainty: The sun rises in the east and this kind of hip-hop holds nothing for me!

Eminem has got that unique sound. And he has got the hits "Stan" and "The Real Slim Shady" on this. Quite strong album for a hip-hop act, but way too long. And "Kim" is hard to stand for me! 2,5

It sometimes reminds me of "Bjork" but nothing stunning or remarkable.

From a band called "massive attack" I expect something totally different. But what you get is well crafted lounge music.🤷‍♂️ (For messing up "Light My Fire" I had to rate them down to zero stars!)

Maybe this is an album David Bowie had missed to record by his own. There is the great "Walk on the Wild Side". And I like "Satellite of Love" since the U2 Zoo TV live performance. Not a single weak track. But I´m not 100% into his vocals. 3,5

Because it´s not exactly my jam I had to give it a few tries before it clicked for me. Some (even too) beautiful songs on this! I can feel why many declare it a masterpiece. favourite: "Where Do The Children Play?", "Wild World", "Sad Lisa", "Longer Boats" and "Father And Son"

I own this album for years and have heared it a thousand times - but not recently. So I was quite surprised that - within this project - what I thought is an instant ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ turned into a tricky desicion. But even though from nowadays perspective there are some weaker tracks on the B-side there are still enough bangers and is more than enough quality and energy (especially in the bass- and guitarplay) to rock every party! most favourite: "Otherside" 4,5

The best album by the second best band from Seattle😉 Except "Endless, Nameless" (hidden track) only banger🤘 Instant ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Masterpiece‼

I´m not really into jazz but it´s a nice listen and just because of "Take Five" I give it the three stars. 2,5

I´m not used to this kind of music but it´s a nice change from the recent albums. Musically O.K. But the album is way too long. 2,5

Nice driving rhythm the whole album long plus the hits "Message In A Bottle" and "Walking On The Moon". But I´m not 100% into his vocals. Strong three stars for this album. 3,5

Some nice tunes but too often on the edge to annoying. 1,5

Really nothing remarkable for me. 1,5

I had to skip even through the shorter standard edition because there was nothing to find for me. If the most remarkable thing about this album is the release strategy, why should I hear it before I die? 1,5

Besides the songs "Cinnamon Girl", "Down By the River" and "Cowgirl in the Sand" just a solid Neil Young record.

The only little highlight is "Clint Eastwood". The rest of the album are only filler or even sucker for me. 1,5

This album has too less of what characterises the dexys for me. Too less brass, too less good mood. The "Sweet Home Alabama"-ish "One Of Those Things" is o.k. favourite: "Listen To This" 2,5

Two banger: "Sympathy For The Devil" and "Street Fighting Man" The rest of the album is just solid Rolling Stones. 3,5

Just. o.k. but nothing remarkable for me. Far too much howling!

It´s just real solid classic metal but I like it. 🤘 I listened to the original 8 tracks edition and for me the later on the remastered edition added "Sanctuary" is not missing. favourite: "Prowler", " Remember Tomorrow", "Running Free"

Nice voice, soulfull mood. Maybe a bit aged. No outstandig track. Sometimes feels like a soundtrack to a Tarantino movie. Weak three stars for this album. 2,5

Iconic and groundbreaking but not my cup of tea. As usual for Kraftwerk the cover artwork is great!

Easy decision for me: The album starts with a sucker and consistently holds the level.

More pop than hip-hop and more diversified and therefore more listenable than other hip-hop/rap albums. But still not my prefered gengre and way too long.

I can sing along almost every song. Some strong numbers like the titletrack or "Waiting On A Sunny Day". A few weaker numbers cost him the ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ stars for me🤷‍♂️.

Some nice samples but over all it´s just Hip-Hop🤷‍♂️

Some nice instrumental pieces but it sounds aged to me! I don´t like the voice and over all it's too much doodledoodle. 1,5

Fun listen but nothing special. Favourite: "Scooby Snacks" 2,5

An very harmonic album an a real nice listen although there is no specific hit on this and it´s way too popish for my taste. Furthermore I don´t like the vocals. I´m not enought the music- nerd to rate the album only just because of the virtuosity of the serveral musicians. Therefore weak four stars for this album. 3,5

Another pretty strong Beatles album. Maybe their closest to five stars until now! "A Hard Day's Night", "I Should Have Known Better", "Can't Buy Me Love", "Things We Said Today" plus some filler. 4,5

Although it´s one of my prefered gengres, the album neither convinces me musically nor especially vocally. 🤷‍♂️ favourite: "Trigger Cut" 2,5

Sounds like a mixture between "Sisters Of Mercy" and "Travis" to me😉 Nice listen but I´m missing at least one banger.

The voice of Nico is even worse than the one of Lou Reed. Some nice tracks like "Run Run Run" but also some sucker like "Heroin" and "European Son". 3,5

"Girls And Boys", "End Of A Century", "Parklife", "Badhead", "The End", "This Is A Low": Britpop at it´s almost best?! worst: "Bank Holiday" 3,5

O.K. but not my jam.

Nice album with the well known song "The Girl From Ipanema". Great saxophone but in total not exacly my jam. 2,5

It´s just hip-hop.🤷‍♂️

I skipped every track!

Never heard of them before, but missed nothing! Whimpering voice and boring music.

Altlhough I´ve never heared of them before it sounds very familiar to me. Nice country/folk-rock album. favourite: "The Weight" 3,5

O.K. but over all a bit too lame for my taste and often I find her high voice hard to stand. favourite: "Caravan Girl" 2,5

Never heared of them before. Straight foreward but nothing special or remarkable. I personally prefer the other australian band "Jet" instead. 2,5

The four well known hits: "So Far Away", "Money For Nothing", "Walk Of Life" and "Brothers In Arms" plus the unique guitar-play make it a really strong album. Some weaker numbers like "Why Worry?" and "One World" cost them the five stars for me.

Four gifted musicians in a band that will become one of the greatest Rock Bands of the 70's and 80's are still looking for her own signature-sound on this album and by the way creating a proper Rock album. Not my favourite Queen album but still way ahead of so many other albums on this selection.

O.K. R&B album but I don´t like all the dialogue-tracks.

Slightly aged but entertaining beatles like rock album. Weak three stars for this album. (Listened to the UK and US edition.) favourite: "The Village Green Preservation Society", "Do You Remember Walter", "Last of the Steam Powered Trains" 2,5

Something between boring and annoying. Everything sounds like a porridge of sound with a pillow covering the speaker. 1,5

It´s hard to match the quality of a milestone like "Different Class". And this album definetly didn´t. It shows a quite different Pulp and I needed a few runs to get used to it, but I miss all the anthems and banger on it. Nontheless really solid britpop although some tracks got a little long. Not an easy decision between three and four stars for me. favourite: "Fear", "Help The Aged", "Glory Days", "Party Hard"

Because of "Pablo Honey" I've avoided Radiohead for a long time. Only to discover years later that so much that came out after their debut is simply great. And so is "the bends" ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Band and album were all new to me. Reminds me on "Sisters of Mercy". favourite: "Harry" 2,5

The album contains the four hits "Never Let Me Down Again", "Straingelove", "Little 15" and "Behind The Wheels" and thats it basicly. 🤷‍♂️ 3,5

This album is devided into two kind of songs for me. I cant resist her unique sound - not only on the hits "Human Behaviour", "Venus As A Boy", "Big Time Sensuality" and "violently happy" but also on "Aeroplane" and "Come To Me". ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ But unfortunately I don´t like all the other tracks! 🤷‍♂️ Therefore weak four stars for her debut. 3,5

I was not expecting such a diversified and entertaining rock album. Fun listen. And a nice discovery.

I´m not into hip-hop or rap but this one is quite catchy. Just because of that and of "Who Am I" I give it the three stars. 2,5

McCartney always has been able to write good and catchy melodies. So the title-track plus "Mrs. Vandebilt", "Let Me Roll It" and "Nineteen Hundred And Eighty Five" do their job in this case. But the rest of the album doesn´t convince me completely. Weak four stars for this. 3,5

It turns out that R.E.M. wasn´t able to make a single bad record! Another strong album with the hits "It´s The End Of The World As We Know It..." and "The One I Love" and only a few weaker songs.

Listened to the 11 tracks original release. Besides the iconic "Somebody to Love" nothing remarkable on for me. 2,5

The two all-time banger "Beetlebum" and "Song 2" are standing out! But although I´m into Britpop that´s it basically for me. worst: "Theme from Retro", "Movin' On", "Essex Dogs" 2,5

I really like the music although there is no remarkable track. Easy on the ears. But I don´t like the vocals. 2,5

It´s just a nice christmas compilation. I wonder why it is on the list? 2,5

I´m really surprised by all the high ratings for this album because for me it does nothing. Fits maybe perfect in a club but not on a record?! Skipped almost every track. 1,5

I wasn´t sure what to expect from band and album, but with "Sexy Boy", the well known "All I Need" and "Kelly Watch The Stars" I got into the mood. A really nice and chilling listen.

I like their energetic beats especially on the hits "Breath" and "Firestarter". But for a whole album it's much too repetitive. 2,5

Smooth and soulful album with the song "Smooth Operator" to stand out.

One of the few albums that deserve to be a double album. Very diversified and entertaining with almost no fillers. Worst: "Revolution Rock" 4,5

Never heared of him before. Nice change from the recent albums but overall not exactly my jam.

Didn´t know what to expect but I really liked it. Nice groove. Great musicianship. Although it´s not exactly my jam. 2,5

Amazing energetic bass- and drum-play. Right in the face. Two outstanding tracks ("Under The Bridge", "Give It A Way") plus some more good ones ("Breaking The Girl", "Funky Monks"...) and pieces. Unfortunately the album can't hold that level consistently just because of it's lenght. Worst: "Sir Psycho Sexy" 3,5

An album that contains four hits ("Going Down/Love in an Elevator", "Water Song/Janie's Got a Gun", "The Other Side" and "What It Takes") should have at least four stars. But the other songs are more or less meh for me and so the whole album is only average.🤷‍♂️

"Movin on up", "Loaded", "Damaged" are just o.k.

I´ve heared band and album for the first time but really nothing remarkable for me.

Not the kind of Beastie Boys I like. best: the cover photo 1,5

Not that worse kind of prog-rock that I was afraid of before.

A very nice introduction. The voice sometimes reminds me on Lou Reed? Over all I like the music although there is no outstanding song.

I really like the music in almost every song. But his thin voice mostly destroys it for me. It´s a pity.

One and a half hour of just solid southern rock. Not a single remarkable track or piece except the bad vocals. Positive: it don´t sucks! But so dull that I don´t even want to rate it down just because of it´s lenght. 1,5

Something between fun songs and annoying vocals. favourite: "Red Morning Light", "Molly's Chambers" worst: "Trani"

Never heard of them before. Now I know why! Nothing remarkable. Musically O.K. but every song sounds the same and therefore the whole album is much too long. 1,5

It's quite o.k. but it's still hip hop🤷

A few nice musical pieces like on "Ratamahatta " or "Breed Apart" but the metal-typical screaming is annoying!

I have only noticed Eno as a producer yet and appreciated his work a lot. But I got quite disappointed by this one. His vocals are often annoying and even the music sucks here and then. ("Driving Me Backwards", "Dead Finks Don't Talk"...) 1,5

I like the cover-foto but that's it basically. Nothing remarkable here.

Another introduction to me. Sounds like a worse copy of "The Doors". I prefer the David Bowie version of "Pablo Picasso" but having the original version here plus a few more o.k. tracks ("She Cracked", "Modern World", "Dignified An Old") sums up to a weak three stars vote. 2,5

Another introduction to me. Nice riffs ("In My Mind"...), nice basslines ("Whisperin While Hollerin"...), nice short tracks. But overall for me is something missing especially more remarkable vocals?! Strong two stars for this album. 2,5

Nice short, straight-foreward tracks in best "The Clash"- manner with a weaker B-side. favourite: "White Riot" 3,5

Never heared of them before. Here and then some nice tunes but in total nothing to convince me. Especially the vocals are not my favour.

Of course there is the well known banger "Sabotage" but in total the album is just o.k. for me. 2,5

I like "Young Americans" plus the nice saxophone tunes on this. But even the second well-known track "Fame" is not my favour. It is a shame to say - but this album from his Bowieness doesn´t convince me at all.

Half an hour of solid and fun guitar/hair-rock with the all-time-banger "Jump" to stand out. In terms of the guitar-work I like "Girl Gone Bad" best.

I really like his voice. And the mood of this record. And the song "Twistin The Night Away". But as always I rate it down one star just because it is a live album. 2,5

For me it's just jazz.

Pink Floyd has always been more or less elevator-music for me. I have to give it three stars only just because of the hits "Money" and "Brain Damage" and the iconic cover-artwork.

Maybe a fun soundtrack but in terms of an album not my jam.

Very atmospheric record with some great songs ("The National Anthem", "Optimistic" and especially "Idioteque") but also some weaker tracks ("Treefingers", "In Limbo", "Motion Picture Soundtrack"). Definetly not my every-day-pick. 3,5

A few reasons for me to rate this album down: first: it is a live-album :( second: it is a double album :( third: I like neighter the vocals nor the never ending instrumental parts:( 1,5

Of course the title track is an all-time-banger. The rest of the album is o.k. but maybe sounds a bit aged to me.

Containing an anthem like "Angels" the other tracks on this album seem to me even weaker than they already are. (To be honest "Let Me Entertain You" is fun too.)

I had a grin on my face with this album popping up. Because with AC/DC you always know what you will get. High quality hard rock with an unique sound and energetic guitars. And on this particular album on top the two all-time-classics "Highway To Hell" and "Touch Too Much". 3,5

On this album there is the very catchy "Here Comes Your Man". But overall I like the music much more than the vocals/screaming! worst: "I Bleed"

I had already forgotten how I love the song "Animal Nitrate"! But the rest of the album can't hold this level although I really like the guitars on it.

I like the cover-artwork but the music sucks.

Interesting introduction and I needed a few runs to get used to it. I really like their musical style. But most of the tracks don't feel like complete songs. They feel kind of unfinished like on a demo-tape and a bit unambitious and therefore the whole album can sometimes be as annoying as tik-tok. It's a pity because there is enough potential on this for a proper album with 8 to 10 full songs and at least a four stars rating!

I have already known the three hits ("Golden Years", "TLC15", "Wild Is The Wind") but I had'nt listened to this whole album before. With 50% of the songs beeing hits (but not his biggest) and no fails this album is an easy four stars rating for me. And very little is missing for his bowieness to the five stars. favourite musically: "Stay" favourite vocally: "Wild Is The Wind" 4,5

I'm glad that at the time of release there was no stream available! Who knows - the album probably would not only use the full capcity of a CD but the full capacity of a server?! It constantly varies between something that I mostly would describe as noise and something that could become music and back to noise. Simply not my jam! 1,5

After yesterday's "Sabres of Paradise" I am glad to finally have real music here. The mojo works perfectly on this and I don't want to forget to mention the harmonica. But as always I rate it down one star just because it's a live album. 2,5

Musically o.k. but on most of the songs the vocals are annoying. "Take Me To The River" secures them the very weak three stars for me. 2,5

Never heared of them before. There is the Bowieesk "Opus 40" and a few other o.k. songs ("Goddess on a Hiway", "The Funny Bird", "Delta Sun Bottleneck Stomp"), but especially the wha-wha doodle-doodle- sound on some tracks is hard to stand for me. 2,5

Never ending Backgroundmusic. 1,5

Listened to the US-version. Nothing bad and nothing outstanding. But I like it. 2,5

There are the two mega-hits "Monday, Monday" and "California Dreamin" on the album. But in total it sounds a bit too aged to me.

70 minutes of nothing remarkable. Just electronic background music. 1,5

Cool album title and cover artwork. I really wanted to like it more and gave it a few runs. But the boring voice messes it up for me. favourite: "Kamera", "War on War", "Heavy Metal Drummer"

Quite listenable/catchy for a R&B/HipHop- album. 2,5

Fun music but vocals by someone who can at least sing would be highly welcome.

Although there are a few good songs on this album ("Rag Mama Rag", "Up On Cripple Creek") in total it sounds a bit aged to me. Especially because of "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down" I give it the three stars. 2,5

Besides the all-time classic "Bad Moon Rising" and "Lodi" it's just solid, good old (southern) rock for me.

One of the most prominent voices in music. But the music itself on this album doesn't convince me at all. 2,5

I really loved the three hits "School", "Bloody Well Right" and "Dreamer" right from the start. To get used to the rest of the album I needed a few runs. But unfortunately for me there are still a few weaker moments. (screaming on "Asylum", "Rudi"... , "If Everyone Was Listening", "Crime Of The Century") 3,5

O.k. but too old fashioned for my taste.

I've never heared of this guy before. The album starts very calm but then holds enough tension to keep it interesting. And the more I get into this album the more I hear reminiscences to other artists (Beatles, Bowie, Stevens...?) Neither an outstanding nor a bad song on. So it's hard for me to decide between three and four stars. 3,5

This kind of vocal/acapella music is really not my favour.

I find this album quite catchy but not remarkable. Weak three stars for this. favourite: "What Do You Want", "He's Always There" 2,5

"World In My Eyes", "Personal Jesus", "Enjoy The Silence" and "Policy Of Truth" - what is more to say! The other songs on the album can't match the quality of these four banger. 3,5

Oh my god. 3 hours 15 minutes! Just because of this length I will probably never listen to this album again. But despite that it's musically quite nice. 1,5

I like it although there is nothing remarkable on. Very Neil Young-ish without the roughness. Weak three stars for this album. 2,5

35 minutes of maybe even too intense punk music with miserable vocals. 1,5

Again I like the harmonica-play more than his vocals. Nonetheless a nice and easy listen. 2,5

Way too lame vocally and way too old fashioned for me.

Maybe I wasn't in the right mood for this?! best known: "A Message To You Rudy" 2,5

Except the well known "Oxygene Part IV" it's just pretty good background-music for me. 2,5

Although there is nothing unique about this music or album I like it. In it for weak three stars. 2,5

Strong voice plus the smash-hits "Rolling in the Deep", "Set Fire to the Rain" and "Someone Like You" plus the "The Cure"-cover "Lovesong" sum up to a pretty solid and catchy pop-album. But still not exactly my jam. 3,5

Sounds a bit dated to me. And I'm not into his vocals.

Nice hard and energetic listen. But a whole album of this kind is a bit too much for me.

I have warm memories of the "Smashing Pumpkins"- sound. Unfortunately it is a bit repetitive and so the whole album becomes boring. Nonetheless "Disarm" is a banger and "Today" is o.k. too. Weak three stars for this album. 2,5

Interesting change from the recent albums but the female vocals sometimes can be annoying. Not exactly my jam.

Quite listenable for a hip-hop/rap-album.

I've never heared of them before. And there is no need for me to listen to them again.

Band an album where all new to me. But it turns out for me that the frase "one of the greatest albums of all times" is uses a bit inflationary. Nonetheless I really like this one although there is no outstanding track on. favourite: "Cemetry Gates", "Bigmouth Strikes Again" 3,5

The all-time banger "More Than A Feeling" plus "Peace Of Mind" and "Long Time" are standards in classic rock. But for my taste the whole album is a bit too much classic? 3,5

Nice rock and roll album in best "Stones" manner. Fun listen. worst: "Evil Hearted Ada" 3,5 (Rated the 9 tracks original album because the CD bonus tracks add nothing special or remarkable for me)

The album first increases track by track ("Funky Music Sho Nuff Turns Me On", "Run Charlie Run") and peakes with the great "Papa Was A Rolling Stone". But after that for me it again becomes lamer and lamer.

His voice is really not my favour but somehow fits better to the bluesy style on this album than on his albums from this list I had prior. Weak three stars and no heartattack for this. 2,5

Again a hard decision between two and three stars for me. Less screaming then on the two other Pixies-albums and therefore in total more listenable but I'm missing the hits. 2,5

Nice and easy listen but nothing remarkable. 2,5

I've never heared anything of them before. They sound like different other, more prominent britpop/britrock bands. But in every facete they are always the worse copy of the originals for me. Neither fish nor meat. La-la-la..........la-la-la.......... 2,5

Interesting change from the recent albums. Very groovy - but not my every day jam.

quite o.k. for a hip-hop album - but it stays hip-hop for me.

Overall a very homogeneous, catchy and relaxed (folk-)album. And exactly the amount of jazz I'm fine with ;) favourite: "Moondance" 3,5

My personal album of the year 2006. Full of fresh, energetic, fun and in a best way kind of spewed out songs.

For any reasons I had higher expectations on this album?! But it turned out for me that it's just solid. Weak three stars for the Neon Bible. favourite: "Intervention", "No Cars Go" 2,5

Didn't knew anything from this album except the banger "That's Entertainment" not even knowing it is by The Jam! What a shame! Great album that loses a bit quality within the last songs.

O.K. But they sound a bit too theatrical to me. Overall less remarkable. 2,5
