Heroes to Zeros

The Beta Band

3/5

A great album, I have to underline the superb production and ideas, though I didn’t really connect with the overall project…

The Atomic Mr Basie

Count Basie & His Orchestra

4/5

A 7.5/10 ! Really lush and happy instrumentals, a timeless sound ❤️

Sound of Silver

LCD Soundsystem

3/5

I really adored some aspects of it, and some of them surprised me in a good way. Maybe it won’t be your kind of album to listen to, because of the length of it and the overspread material in it. Overall, really appreciated this listen 🖤

Beggars Banquet

The Rolling Stones

3/5

A Great Album Filled with bangers but also monotonous fillers…

The Wildest!

Louis Prima

4/5

A really enjoyable and modern listening experience, a classic 50’s to encounter at least 1 time in your lifetime

Back In Black

AC/DC

3/5

An interesting album, which reminds me a bit of Led Zeppelin. Despite some tracks being iconic, the overall project feels a bit monotonous and it feels like every song resembles the others…

Lust For Life

Iggy Pop

4/5

Really liked it. It's a fundamental album for late-70's punk. We can hear Bowie's influence in here, as we can also notice in his own "Tonight" album (1984). Really nostalgic and efficient.

American Beauty

Grateful Dead

2/5

a pretty chill, though a bit too much maybe... not really my cup of tea, though I appreciate the overall early-70's folky vibe

Debut

Björk

5/5

I LOVE BJÖRK ! Debut is absolutely one of her best works, and remains one of the most innovative debuts of all time

Stand!

Sly & The Family Stone

4/5

A wonderful album. It really seems like a precursor of Prince, and overall mid-70's works (though released in 1969). I think the album contains really audacious moments and I definitely will be checking some other albums by this band. The reason why I haven't put it 5 stars, is because the nearly 14-minute track "Sex Machine" makes the album lack of cohesion and fun.

At Newport 1960

Muddy Waters

3/5

Muddy Waters is brilliant, no doubt about that ! Blues is a genre with which I have a difficult relationship, for I get bored very fast. Fortunately the album was not too long, and Muddy really captures happiness, joy, and simplicity in this live recording. Great experience still, though not my cup of tea ;)

Otis Blue/Otis Redding Sings Soul

Otis Redding

4/5

I've seen the album cover so many times in my life, but never got the chance to listen to a copy before. The content is an efficient compilation of soul at its highest peak. Some tracks lack of consistency though, while others are just extraordinarily crafted (I've been loving you too long, change is gonna come...) Overall: Really enjoyable and majorly important in 1960s culture

Scream, Dracula, Scream

Rocket From The Crypt

2/5

Not really my style, it was not an enjoyable experience and it feels like no track was really a standout. The 2 stars are here for the work and the effort.

Californication

Red Hot Chili Peppers

4/5

The album is really fun, cohesive, while also being hugely varied and efficient. The only reason I haven't put 5 stars, is because it was my bestie's favorite band, and she's such a bitch...

Led Zeppelin II

Led Zeppelin

4/5

As a huge fan of Led Zeppelin, I must admit that there are iconic tracks (Whole Lotta Love). It really is a classic. It is not my favorite of the band, but it's still pretty great ;)

All Mod Cons

The Jam

3/5

Was quite an easy listening for me, some tracks being even too much simple...Overall, there are some real standouts in here (Fly, and English Rose for example), but some tracks are also really forgettable unfortunately...

Wonderful Rainbow

Lightning Bolt

5/5

This album, which I listened to for the first time yesterday, is a fun, cohesive and really experimental record. I do not really have anything to say, except that I've been mind-blown the whole time, and I definitely will be checking out the rest of their discography. Noise rock is a genre i never really got into before, but this is so vast and rich, that it came to me as a real discovery.

Bryter Layter

Nick Drake

5/5

Nick Drake is one of these artists that you must hear somehow. Just like Joni Mitchell's early 1970s era, Bryter Layter is a perfect mixture of folk, alternative and singer-songwriter genres. I never got bored, and I already listened to it beforehand.

Fulfillingness' First Finale

Stevie Wonder

4/5

A Stevie Wonder album can only be charming and cannot disappoint. I enjoyed it, but not as much as I thought I would have. It’s still an impressive record.

Songs From The Big Chair

Tears For Fears

5/5

wow. a mind-blowing album. no filler tracks, just pure tracks, banger after banger.

Jack Takes the Floor

Ramblin' Jack Elliott

1/5

pretty archaic, I really did not enjoy it at all…

Remain In Light

Talking Heads

3/5

This album was interesting. It contains really interesting elements, though generally not being my cup of tea.

LP1

FKA twigs

5/5

I've been a huge fan of Twigs for some years now, and her art never gets old. LP1 is a strong output that should not be underestimated. I've always preferred MAGDALENE (2019), but LP1 (2014) is pretty impressive as well.

Are You Experienced

Jimi Hendrix

3/5

Great ideas and debut. However, sounded too monotonous for my ears that love changes

Elvis Presley

4/5

Great album, especially inventive and modern considering it a 50s album.

Violator

Depeche Mode

4/5

What an interesting, cohesive and avant-garde record. I really enjoyed it !

Live At The Star Club, Hamburg

Jerry Lee Lewis

3/5

I like that it is filled with energy and good vibes. However all tracks seemed to me as the same and it began to bore me at a certain time

Heroes to Zeros

The Beta Band

3/5

A great album, I have to underline the superb production and ideas, though I didn’t really connect with the overall project…

Ready To Die

The Notorious B.I.G.

good kid, m.A.A.d city

Kendrick Lamar

3/5

Interesting and varied, though I’m not a fan of Kendrick

Veckatimest

Grizzly Bear

4/5

What a creative and pleasant album ! The only reason it does not earn 5 stars is because I’m not familiar with it enough to consider it perfect…

One Nation Under A Groove

Funkadelic

5/5

Love this band, and this album is just phenomenal

Rhythm Nation 1814

Janet Jackson

5/5

One of my favorite albums of all time, truly cohesive and flawless !

Five Leaves Left

Nick Drake

5/5

This album is really chill, though constructed and really well thought out. I don’t think I connected with it as much as I did with Bryter Layter but it is still a wonderful record

Dusty In Memphis

Dusty Springfield

3/5

Great album but not really memorable…

Gorillaz

4/5

Really enjoyable and interesting, might need a 2nd listen to put it a 5 out of 5.

Queens of the Stone Age

3/5

Great and interesting listen, though I did not really connect with their style of music usually

The Trinity Session

Cowboy Junkies

3/5

I found the alt-country vibe really interesting, but not enough to be really submerged by it

The World is a Ghetto

War

3/5

What a rich album, unfortunately not connectable at 1st listen for me at least…

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

2/5

Not for me, I don’t find this album catchy or interesting, and the vocal delivery doesn’t make sense to me unfortunately

Master Of Puppets

Metallica

4/5

Really interesting and melodic! A great time

Rumours

Fleetwood Mac

5/5

A timeless and perfect record

Axis: Bold As Love

3/5

My favorite by Jimi at the moment, though it’s not an easy listen

The Suburbs

Arcade Fire

3/5

Interesting concept, some tracks resonated a lot, while others not

The College Dropout

Kanye West

4/5

Although I really don’t like the artist and his behavior, I gotta admit that this concept is really fun and entertaining to dive into…

The Rolling Stones

2/5

Highly forgettable, not my cup of tea at all

Rapture

Anita Baker

3/5

Interesting, although I think the project does not contain any huge and unforgettable moments or tunes in it…

The Gilded Palace Of Sin

The Flying Burrito Brothers

3/5

Fun and light though not my fav genre

Seventeen Seconds

The Cure

5/5

What a rich and unique concept, everything is to love here !!!

Sheet Music

10cc

4/5

What a rich and unique approach, which I hugely appreciate

5/5

One of my fav from the alternative 1990s scene ❤️

Fleet Foxes

3/5

Some interesting riffs but overall flat

Brothers

The Black Keys

3/5

Very well executed project, kind of monotonous at certain times, but the quality is there.

Pieces Of The Sky

Emmylou Harris

2/5

It seems like an artist I might like, but the album felt really dated and monotonous. I think there was more boredom to it than actual enjoyment...

Superfly

Curtis Mayfield

4/5

It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back

Public Enemy

4/5

Wonderful samples and grooves. A bit too repetitive at times, but it feels like a classic.

If You Can Believe Your Eyes & Ears

The Mamas & The Papas

3/5

I like the unique feel and musicality of this band, unfortunately it felt a bit repetitive at times.

The Next Day

David Bowie

5/5

wow. one of the only Bowie albums I never listened to before, and it feels really strong and solid within his whole discography.
