The Man Who by Travis

Occasionally radioheadesque. Those parts stood out for me

Born To Run by Bruce Springsteen
May 07 2024

Diverse, more than the "Thunder Road" hit for me. Interesting instrumentation

So by Peter Gabriel
May 09 2024

Gutes Album, reißt mich aber nicht mit. Nur ein Hördurchgang.

C'est Chic by CHIC
May 10 2024

So gar nicht meins. Gepflegte 70s Pop-Langeweile

25 by Adele
May 13 2024

Better than expected, Varied,

The Band by The Band
May 14 2024

Endlich die Quelle von "der Tag als Johnny Kramer starb" gelernt. Ansonsten üblicher classic rock

Aftermath by The Rolling Stones
May 15 2024

UK vs US version.

Youth And Young Manhood by Kings of Leon
May 16 2024

Typical first album.rougher, voice less annoying. Pretty good

Amnesiac by Radiohead
May 17 2024

Grower. But Thom Yorke's voice can be so annoying. Need to listen more

Parallel Lines by Blondie
May 20 2024

Some punk, some disco. The non-singles are more interesting

Abraxas by Santana
May 23 2024

Don't like the hits, some songs OK

Emperor Tomato Ketchup by Stereolab
May 24 2024

Weird. Not sure. Probably a 2.5, should listen to it more and to other material by that band.

Be by Common
May 28 2024

OK

Violent Femmes by Violent Femmes

Great how it spearheaded indie , things like dashboard confessional. Keeper

System Of A Down by System Of A Down
May 30 2024

Toxicity still my favorite. Sorry

Standard classic rock, with LA Grange an exception.

I like the rough cd 2 more

What a noisy piece of art. Need to check out the mono version

Dookie by Green Day
Jun 12 2024

Memories of youth.

Scream, Dracula, Scream by Rocket From The Crypt
Jun 13 2024

Musically great, rough singing a bit too much over time

Ray Of Light by Madonna
Jun 14 2024

Surprised by the minimal electronica. Perhaps I would like an instrumental version even better?

Jun 18 2024

Exciting. Not too much piping

Jun 25 2024

3.5 I like the less known songs. Again very varied

Jun 27 2024

Fear Of Music by Talking Heads
Jul 01 2024

Roots for "the robocop kraus"?

Tommy by The Who
Jul 02 2024

Doesn't excite me.

Wonderful Rainbow by Lightning Bolt
Jul 03 2024

While I'm always open to an "audio workout", this didn't transport any meaning for me.

Hot Fuss by The Killers
Jul 05 2024

Big gestures, great fun, oh the melodies

Love the quiet mood, plus duet with a woman

Dynamic, rough, varied and one that's in my vinyl collection

Everything Must Go by Manic Street Preachers

Iron Maiden by Iron Maiden
Jul 30 2024

I prefer their later albums

Exciting like the others in the list. Not sure if it needed 3x LCD in the collection, but still a 3.5 with a tendency to 4

Buena Vista Social Club by Buena Vista Social Club
Aug 02 2024

3.25. A classic which introduced a to me new sound

Nevermind by Nirvana
Aug 05 2024

How else to rate an album published in the formative years of a young to-be grunge / rock fan.

Aug 12 2024

The stadium pop rock tracks pulled it down for me.

Aug 21 2024

Exciting. Love the classic Melodies in the background, and the noise

Dare! by The Human League
Aug 28 2024

80s proto synth pop. Prefer the darker songs vs "don't you want me"

Underwater Moonlight by The Soft Boys
Aug 29 2024

Alternative Rock with 60s vibe, surf / beach boys inspiration. Neat, not what I expected for the early 80s

The Man Who by Travis
Aug 30 2024

Occasionally radioheadesque. Those parts stood out for me

Cannot beat "ill communication" by a mile

Stones with more power. More roughness

Love the mix of blues and Africa influences

Some hits, some fillers. It has not aged well for me
