Produced incredibly. Stunning vocals.
Track 2- beautiful pop ballad
Track 3- great emotions. Musical break very good
Very smooth listening experience.
Track 5- mmmm
Side two so far, very poppy and sweet
8- fucking funky bass
Thank you for the recommendation.

Led Zeppelin
It is a classic, but not exactly my kind of classic.
The band sounds great, but I believe the first album captures better the blues and rawness of the group, and that they would achieve greater musical moments later in their career.
But indeed, a fan album nonetheless.

Coldplay
What can I say about this one.
People tend to say that this is their "potential" album. The one that suggests that they are a good band that took the wrong path.
While it's not a "bad" album, it's not good either.
Just, there. If you like Coldplay, and this is your favorite project by them, that's fine.
But if you don't, you won't find here much to love. Very monotonic, bland, the songwriting isn't great and chris Martin's vocals... if you like them you do, and I, sadly, do not.
What can I say...
I thought it was a two but

Adele
Adele is a once in a lifetime vocalist, and to be fair, you can definitely sense it in this album.
I think the songwriting shines as well at many high moments.
What I don't really get is why she thought she needed the super modern bombastic production at certain songs. To be honest, it just makes her sound a bit weak.
Your a diva, Adele, you don't need to do anything to prove it.

In my opinion, Getz isn't as needed here as he seemed to be at the time this was released.
He is a very fine sax player, but the issue in the record is definitely the song and Joao's delivery.
But I have to add that his solo on so danco samba is a masterpiece.

This album was very significant in my musical journey as a child.

I'm happy to tell this people- you are wrong.
This record, as any rock opera, has a youthful shine to it, and I can get why it might be considered pretentious. But it delivers.
The concept, in my opinion, still works, it still bothers me and scratches my head.
And especially, the songs are so strong, preformed so well and produced perfectly.
So to my younger self and myself today, it was a 5 and still is
