Some interesting change of genre. Although I would not have listened to it myself, I was pleasantly surprised. Some songs are a bit unpleasant to my ear, others quite nice.

Tangerine Dream
5/5
Really nice album. Nice atmospheric sound.

Classic Rock with a hint of metal. I love it.

Chicago
2/5
Not really my type.

Mekons
3/5
Mixed feelings here. It's not bad per se, but nothing crazily good.
Depeche Mode
3/5
Some classics on here.

Tears For Fears
4/5
Nice album. Shout and everybody wants to rule the world are classics.
Bad Brains
1/5
Really annoying to listen to. Probably some "notable punk album" again. Not as bad as "Germs" though.
Malcolm McLaren
2/5
Not really my type. Some songs are a bit annoying, but some songs are quite interesting. I liked "Song For Chango".
The Pogues
4/5
I like this kind of irish punk/folk. Second album from The Pogues already.
Jefferson Airplane
3/5
"Somebody to love" had a resurgence recently. Nice to know where the original is from. Apart from that it was an okay album. Nothing else stood out to me.
Jorge Ben Jor
1/5
Not really my type of music. Couldn't finish the album
Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark
4/5

4/5
Iconic "It's like that" is on here. I'm usually not into hip-hip, but I like this.
Judas Priest
3/5
I would actually call it Rock/Hard-rock, but apparently it's metal. Not a bad album.
Snoop Dogg
2/5
Not my kind of hip-hop. Too much misogynistic stuff
Megadeth
2/5

The Police
3/5
Interesting album. Liked some songs, others were forgettable
Kanye West
3/5
I liked "Family Business". The rest was okay. The skits in between were a bit annoying.
The Notorious B.I.G.
3/5
Although Hip-Hop is not really my favourite gerne, I quite enjoyed this one. Apart from the weird "sex-interludes", the tracks were quite mellow
Joni Mitchell
1/5
Not really my type. Sounds a bit dreary
Dusty Springfield
2/5
Classic 60s sound. No auto-tune, just a woman singing along to some music.
It's okay, but not something that would catch me for a longer time.
The Beta Band
3/5
Not bad, but many songs sound very similar. Can run easily in the background.

3/5
Intersting Post rock

At first sounded like post rock and then some indian (?) vocals came along as well. Interesting mix
Spacemen 3
3/5
Sounds like post rock but then also some vocals are included. Interesting mix
Dexys Midnight Runners
2/5
Sounds like 90s radio music. A bit lame. Come on Eileen is a classic though.

3/5

Justin Timberlake
3/5
This sound of the album is what I have in my mind when I think about what Justin Timberlake sounds like.

1/5

I like the mix of rock & roll and a bit of punk.
Bonnie Raitt
2/5
Not really my type.
Violent Femmes
2/5
Not really my type.

3/5
Interesting album. Noticed some songs that I heard somewhere before.
It is something that can listen to, but nothing that I would choose to listen to if I had to listen to something I like.

I hate this kind of music. Really a pain to listen to.
Peter Gabriel
4/5
I am a bit torn about this album. I have strong memories about it. I remember my dad putting on the CD and listening to Games without frontiers/Biko very loudly. I loved it, still do. Most other songs from the album were a bit of a let down to be honest.

Solid album. I liked it
Joni Mitchell
2/5

3/5

Weird album

2/5
Nothing special really.
Echo And The Bunnymen
2/5
Psychadelic rock? Interesting, but the voice and whining after a while a bit annoying.
AC/DC
4/5
Classic Hard Rock. I like it
5/5
Oh boy, I like this one. Grew up with it and it is still a banger.
Sadly, the political views from Fred Durst are not so much a banger...
Lou Reed
3/5
Was okay, but not that great.
The Fall
3/5
A lot of songs sound similar. It's okay, but nothing that special

Moby Grape
2/5
Depeche Mode

Sounds like every other Depeche Mode album

5/5
"Relax" and "The Power of Love" is on the same album? I was singing the refrain from "War" some time in the past and I didn't know it was from Frankie. Really good album.
PJ Harvey
2/5
Sounds like "annoyed-woman-screaming-in-microphone-with-guitars-having-too-much-distortion-music"

Ute Lemper
2/5
Not really my type of music.
The xx
4/5
I like The XX. This album is also good.
Pink Floyd
4/5
Well, the album cover is one of the most iconic covers there is. Almost everyone knows it.
That said, the songs are nice to hear, but nothing that really stood out.
Leonard Cohen
3/5
Mixed feelings about this one. Some songs are interesting, others sounded just like mumbling
Cheap Trick
2/5

2/5
Music that sounds like classic 70s singer. Somehow they all sound very similar.
Donald Fagen
2/5
Not really my type of music
Anthrax
2/5
A lot of the same metal sound. I am/was actually a metal-head, but this is too repetitive.
Deep Purple
3/5
Frank Zappa
3/5
I would describe it as Jazz rock. More enjoyable than Jazz, but after a while still a bit much
Motörhead

Lemmy's voice is easily recognizable. Most songs sound the same. They all sound as if they are riding on the back of a trailer driving on a long and open road with the wind blowing in their faces.

The Rolling Stones
4/5
Cool album. Liked it.
Lambchop

Chill music. Can run in the background quite nicely. Sometimes a bit slow
Slipknot

Singer with a bit monotonous voice. Nothing bad, but nothing that excites me much.

1/5
Not my type of music... Country + Jazz

2/5
Straight 80s synths, with repetitive lyrics.
Eurythmics
2/5
Well, only the song "Sweet Dreams are made of this" is really good. The rest is more or less shrapnel...
Slipknot
3/5
In my teenage years I listened to a lot of Slipknot. This album contains some iconic songs.
Yes, they are heavy, but I enjoy sometimes this kind of music.
Kid Rock
3/5
His political views aside, this is a solid album.

The White Stripes
3/5

Television
4/5
Interesting album. "Marquee Moon" was a bit long though.
Can
3/5
Interesting album. A lot of instrumentals with some cacophonous parts. I couldn't get through "Peking O". The "singing" was just too much.

Travis
4/5
Really nice album. I liked it.
The Band
3/5
Okay album.

The Psychedelic Furs
3/5
80s psych-synth-rock? Not bad
Leonard Cohen
4/5

Slow and relaxing music. The last song was getting very repetitive though.
Minor Threat

Cocteau Twins
3/5
Reminds me of Röyksopp.
Talking Heads
2/5
Not a fan of talking heads. I find it quite annoying
Björk
1/5
I find this music quite annoying. It's more talking and changing the tone of the voice instead of singing.

Kings of Leon
4/5
Solid album. I like it.
Pixies
3/5
Classic "Where is my mind?" is on here. Many other songs can be quite annoying.
KISS
3/5

5 songs and 45 minutes long? Oh boy. But it's not bad. The two 12-13 min songs are complementing the other three songs well.
"Wish you were here" is good

2/5

4/5
I liked it. Quite surprising actually
Radiohead
3/5
Was okay, but nothing really stuck
The War On Drugs
4/5
Really cool album. I like it.
Manic Street Preachers
3/5
Solid Rock album.
Pet Shop Boys
3/5
Okay album. Nothing crazy going on here. "It's a sin" is on here.
Digital Underground
3/5
So... I like how they kept the story over the album: Selling "Sex Packets". It was almost like an elaborate advertisement.
A bit over-sexualized, but "Freaks of the Industry" was funny.
MGMT
4/5
Good album. Lots of good songs on here
The Only Ones
2/5
Not really my type...
The Dandy Warhols
2/5
Was okay, but didn't like it that much.
The Doors
3/5
I would describe it as "Dad-rock". It's old school rock, where almost everything sounds very similar. I didn't have anything that stood out. But also, it wasn't bad.
Oasis
3/5
Some cool songs. After a while it can get a bit annoying, but then this subsides as well again.
Red Hot Chili Peppers
3/5
"Under The Bridge" is standing out here. The rest is more of the same songs.
John Lennon
2/5
Already the first song becomes more and more unbearable with the erratic screaming "Mama come home"...
Nah, not really my type.
Radiohead
4/5
I was pleasantly surprised by this album. Radiohead seemed to be overhyped before, but this is an overall good album.
Guided By Voices
1/5
God, this is awful
Sonic Youth
2/5
Not really my type. The guitars are supposed to be distorted, but the sound quality is still really bad.
Cowboy Junkies
3/5
a-ha
4/5
Solid album. "Take On Me" and "The Sun Always Shines On TV" on here.
Buffalo Springfield
3/5
Okay album, but nothing very special that stood out for me.
Robbie Williams
3/5
"Angels" and "Let me entertain you" on here. The rest sounds quite similar.
David Bowie
3/5
Was okay, but nothing that stood out for me except some Berlin places in "Where are we now?"
Kanye West
3/5
Kanye is crazy. Period.
The music is fun to listen to though. Hip-Hop is usually not my thing, but this is interesting.
Led Zeppelin
3/5
"Kashmir" reminds me of the intro of the German TV Show TV Total.
Rest was okay, but nothing that stood out.
Lou Reed
3/5
"Walk on the Wild Side" on here. Okay album.
Black Sabbath
3/5
Leonard Cohen
2/5
Not a fan of Leonard Cohen.

3/5
Okay album. Nothing that stood out to me though

3/5

4/5
I like it.
Butthole Surfers
1/5
Dafuq...
Tim Buckley
2/5
Hmm, not really my thang.
Talking Heads
2/5
Quite Jazzy. Not a big fan. I actually liked the last few unfinished songs. Once in a lifetime was also okay.
David Bowie
4/5
Dinosaur Jr.
2/5
Mixed feelings here. Sometimes a bit annoying, but not that much as other albums here
Bruce Springsteen
4/5
Okay album. Pretty chill.
Syd Barrett
1/5
Not my type of music.
Fiona Apple
1/5
Really annoying voice. Couldn't get through it
Kings of Leon
2/5
Meh, was expecting something better.
Korn
4/5
Pretty cool album. Freak on a Leash is a calssic
The Who
3/5
Quite a long one. Mixed feelings here. Sometimes it sounded like they didn't know what to record
Gram Parsons
1/5
Country - the annoying kind
Leftfield
3/5
Not what I expected. Interesting mix of 90s electronic background music and tribal music
The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion
1/5
While this is probably an "artistic choice", but making your music (album?) sound like it was recorded in the 1940s is a weird one.
Especially when the distortions are then very apparent which just makes it sound cacophonous.
Not my thing...
OutKast
3/5
3 Songs that are pretty good, but also a lot of shrapnel on here. Crazy that this is a 2h long record.
Sigur Rós
4/5
Chill music. I like it even though I don't understand a single word :D
The Divine Comedy
2/5
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
4/5
"Heads Will Roll" is something that is played in a lot of movies/shows. Didn't know it was from them.
The rest of the album is quite nice. I like the acoustic versions.
Calexico
2/5
Was okay, but not really my type of music. Too jazzy
Bebel Gilberto
1/5
Nope, way too jazzy.
Elvis Costello & The Attractions
1/5
This is just really bad. Everything is just boring
Bob Marley & The Wailers
3/5
Classic Reggae. Not bad, but wouldn't be on my go to list.
Orbital
3/5
First song "Forever" caught me by surprise. I liked it. The rest was getting more and more experimental. "Are We here?" had some drum and bass parts.
Hot Chip
3/5
"Look At Where We Are" sounds partly like a common electronic sample nowadays.
The whole album is very "poppy" with some electronic parts. Interesting.
Beatles
4/5
Pretty chill album.
Waylon Jennings
3/5
Honky tonk describes the music quite well - who would've thought.
Maxwell
2/5
Sounds like the music you think you put on for sex in the 90s. I don't like it
Van Halen
4/5
Damn, that Guitar-Solo in Eruption. Really cool. Ain't talkin bout love is also really cool.
The Smashing Pumpkins
4/5
Very diverse (and long) album. Lots of chill songs, but also some screeching ones. Overall I liked it, especially the softer songs.
Little Richard
3/5
"Tutti Frutti" as an opener is a good choice. Whole album is classic 1950s, but the good kind.
Robert Wyatt
1/5
Eww, not really able to listen to this kind of music. Really annoying
Soft Cell
3/5
Quite weird album. Yes, Tainted Love is good, but a lot of the other stuff is too experimental for my taste
Baaba Maal
3/5
Didn't understand a word, but was pretty cool.
3/5
Sounds like the incarnation of the 80s. The Book of Love and 4 Ever 2 Gether were my highlights. The rest was okay, but nothing special
The Prodigy
4/5
Some bangers on here. I like it. Climbatize was a surprising find.
Radiohead
4/5
Radiohead again. The album was okay. Stable rock album.
Big Black
3/5
More distortion please... Punk-rock, but not as bad as some other that I had in the list already.
Ice Cube
3/5
I'm not usually into hip-hop, but this was quite enjoyable to listen to.

Fatboy Slim
2/5
A bit too funky for me.
Koffi Olomide
1/5
Not really my type of music.
Ravi Shankar
3/5
I don't usually listen to Indian music, but this was interesting. Also the explanations were interesting and quite impressive what one can do with such an instrument
John Martyn
1/5
Not really my type. Too jazzy
Def Leppard
4/5
Old school rock. Solid album as well
The Rolling Stones
3/5
Old-school rock. It's okay, but nothing special.
Siouxsie And The Banshees
2/5
Gets quite annoying after a while
Throbbing Gristle
1/5
Dafuq. This is really annoying stuff...
Einstürzende Neubauten
1/5
This whole album is just noise. I read the name of Einstürzende Neubauten a few times already and was actually curious what kind of music they make, but I was totally turned off when I listened to this album.
Their other music is actually listenable.
Emerson, Lake & Palmer
3/5
Nice listen. Interesting album
Raekwon
3/5
I'm usually not a hip-hop fan, but this was amusing.
Boards of Canada
3/5
Interesting album. My wife called it "elevator-music" from the other room.
Silver Jews
1/5
Boring
XTC
1/5
Boring
The Magnetic Fields
1/5
I'm not listening to 2h45min of "I-have-a-deep-voice-and-this-is-the-only-thing-that-separates-me-from-other-artists".
Pretty boring album and songs
Michael Jackson
5/5
Well, this is a nice album. Not too long, not too short. Just good music.
Michael Jackson
4/5
Okay album. Easy to listen to.
Morrissey
3/5
All the songs sound so melancholic. Not really my thing
The Darkness
4/5

4/5
Two noticeable bangers on here, but the last songs were getting quite annoying
Belle & Sebastian
2/5
Quite boring album
The Undertones
3/5
Mixed feelings here.
The National
3/5
Lots of songs sound the same, but they are quite enjoyable.
Steely Dan
2/5
Not really my type of music. Quite jazzy and I'm not into that. Apart from that, solid.
Brian Wilson
2/5
I have to say I was expecting a bit more from the founder of the Beach Boys.
Janet Jackson
2/5
Quite boring pop
New Order
3/5
Solid album, but nothing stood out to me
Serge Gainsbourg
1/5
Quite annoying french music
Public Image Ltd.
2/5
How to describe... Rock-Jazz, with someone constantly (almost speaking) "singing". Most of the songs feel quite long.
Sisters Of Mercy
3/5
Giant Sand
2/5
Was it a "chore" to listen to this "entertainment"? Yes, definitely. Was I entertained? Not really.
Quite annoying.
Stereo MC's
2/5
Album is okay. Only one song (Connected) that is well known. The rest is kinda boring
Sade
1/5
Not really my kind of music. Too much "soul".
Roni Size
1/5
I actually like Drum and Bass, but this is quite annoying.
Steve Earle
2/5
Not really my thing. Too much country
Dennis Wilson
3/5
Pretty long with 2 hours. Pretty chill album that can run in the background.
Electric Light Orchestra
3/5
Iconic 70s sound. Most songs sound the same though. "Mr Blue Sky" is a classic.
The Everly Brothers
2/5
"Love hurts" is a song that even I recognize. The rest is a lot of folk, rock, country. Not really my thing.
Nanci Griffith
3/5
Singer/Songwriter sound from the 80s. Sounds exactly as you would expect.
Rage Against The Machine
5/5
"America, the land of the free? Whoever told you that is your enemy!"
Raging against the machine complaining about things in the 90s that are still outraging in 2025.
Classic U2-sound. I like it.
Hookworms
4/5
I was pleasantly surprised by this.
My Bloody Valentine
2/5
Same thing in all songs: quite monotonous singing with pop/rock guitar sounds
The Slits
2/5
Quite annoying sound. I managed to listen to it though, which means it's better than 1/5...
Stephen Stills
4/5
Chill singer/songwriter sound. I like it
Faith No More
3/5
Solid rock, punk-rock.
Ray Price
1/5
Nope, thank you.
The Shamen
3/5
90s electro sound. Is okay to run in the background, but nothing crazy in my opinion
Pink Floyd
3/5
I'll probably get cast out here, but in my opinion this album is a bit overrated.
Yes, Another Brick in the Wall, Hey You and Comfortably Numb are great, but the rest is not as good.
Sabu
2/5
Not really my jam... But I was able to listen to the whole album, which makes it better than some other stuff on here :D
Peter Gabriel
3/5
I was getting excited, but after listening to the album I was a bit let down.
Iggy Pop
2/5
Nothing that stands out to me
The United States Of America
1/5
Really annoying music. Sounds like some college students got their hands on their parents equipment and pressed "record" without any practice.
Gang Starr
3/5
Chill hip-hop from the 90s
Q-Tip
2/5
I think I need a Q-Tip to get rid of this clingy lounge sound. Not something I want to listen to in my spare time.
Gene Clark
4/5
Surprisingly nice. At first I thought I wouldn't like it, but this kind of folk was pleasant to listen to.
The Louvin Brothers
1/5
Not a big fan of old-school redneck fiddling.
The Byrds
3/5
Chill old-school pop
Black Sabbath
4/5
Ozzy died yesterday and I get a Black Sabbath album to listen to today.
Big Brother & The Holding Company
2/5
Was okay, but not really amazing.
Jimi Hendrix
4/5
Guitar. Lots of it. The sound quality could be better, but then again, this was 1968.
The songs in the beginning are not as good as the last ones. All along the Watchtower is amazing and Voodoo Child is also a great finisher.
The Pogues
3/5
Lana Del Rey
3/5
Melancholic voice in every song, but a solid album
Jeff Buckley
4/5
Iron Maiden
4/5
I was positively surprised about this. Really nice album.
Portishead
2/5
I don't like this kind of music. Reminds me of Burial and Massive Attack. I can't even describe what exactly it is, but it's not for me.
My Bloody Valentine
2/5
The singer/s sound quite annoyed when singing. Hard to sway me like that
Beyoncé
4/5
Pretty solid album
Aimee Mann
2/5
Not really my type.
The Gun Club
1/5
It's getting annoying over time

3/5
Queens of the Stone Age

Really good album.

3/5

Megadeth
3/5
Classic metal
Aerosmith
3/5
Okay album. Nothing that I find really amazing.
Norah Jones
1/5
Not my type. Too jazzy. Don't like it. Couldn't finish listening
The Beta Band
3/5
It's an okay album. Nothing amazing though. I don't even know exactly what the genre is... Pop/Rock?
Carole King
2/5
Singer/song-writer. Okay album.
The La's
3/5
"There she goes" definitely stands out. The rest was okay.
Julian Cope
2/5
2.5 hours... Every time I see this I think that the artist is some kind of experimental person that could not limit themself to fewer songs.
This album aligns with that theory.
It's too much for me... Some songs I could not finish as they got too annoying, others were okay again. But letting me go through 2.5h of that is borderline torture.
Christina Aguilera
2/5
Hurt is the best one on here. The rest can be pretty annoying.
Beatles
5/5
Classic.
Tom Tom Club
2/5
HAHAHAHA, what the fuck is this?!
I like these little nuggets of weirdness in this list. Not that I like them at all, but it is interesting what kind of music people create.
The Kinks
2/5
Not a big fan
Small Faces
2/5
It's more like a story being told. Literally.
Pavement
2/5
Started out okay, but turned annoying quite quickly
Kraftwerk
1/5
Kraftwerk is weird
Japan
2/5
Kind of the same over and over again. Synth-pop/Rock

3/5
I would say a nothingburger from the Pet Shop Boys. It's not bad though, but nothing special

4/5
Really good album. Starting off with Imagine is strong
The Last Shadow Puppets
2/5
Quite average rock
Dolly Parton
2/5
Not really my kind of music
Ms. Dynamite
1/5
Not really my thing
The Smiths
3/5
The Smiths always sound the same. Which can be a good thing, but for me it's a bit monotonous
Lorde
5/5
Pretty good album. I liked it. Didn't have Lorde on my radar. I heard a bit of them, but never a whole album.
The Police
4/5
I like it. Interesting songs on here. And of course "Every Breath You Take"
Massive Attack
1/5
I really don't like Massive Attack. It's too jazzy for me

2/5
Not really my cup of tea
Haircut 100
3/5
Some weird stuff, but not as bad as other albums on here
Nick Drake
3/5
Sheryl Crow
1/5
Gimme that annoying 90s sound and SCALE IT TO THE MAX!

3/5
Interesting album. Was enjoyable

1/5
Quite annoying stuff
Nas
2/5

Pretty much everyone knows "Without You" I'm sure, but I did not know it was from Nilsson Schmilsson.
The Icarus Line
2/5
Gets a bit annoying after a while. Rock
Ministry
2/5
A lot of noise. Sounds at times like Nine Inch Nails, but then again like some industrial machines at an attempt to make music. Lots of distortion...
Metallica
4/5
Has pretty much all nice Metallica songs. Sounds pretty good live.
Big Star
3/5
Erykah Badu
1/5
Not really my thing. Too much Soul, Funk, RnB.

1/5
Nope, too much country
Doves
2/5
Girls Against Boys
2/5
Lots of distortion...
Roxy Music
2/5
I was about to give it one star when hearing the first song as it was very annoying. "Sea Breezes" is similarly annoying. The other songs are less annoying and sometimes even enjoyable. I wouldn't buy this record though
Sex Pistols
3/5
Punk rock. As it is with punk rock it is sometimes/mostly annoying as it aims to be.
ABBA
4/5
Solid album. Some classics on here and some weird ones (looking at you "Tiger")
Everything But The Girl
3/5
This is so 80s. Slow-dance music. Nothing amazing, but not bad
Neil Young & Crazy Horse
2/5
Motörhead
2/5

3/5
Was okay, but nothing amazing.
Tina Turner
3/5
Classic
3/5
Randy Newman
2/5
TIL "You can leave your hat on" is from this guy and not Joe Cocker. This version does sound way softer and I don't like it as much. Some songs on the album are a bit boring.
Michael Jackson
5/5
So many bangers on here. Some songs are fillers, but these can be ignored
Saint Etienne
2/5
90s electronique sound. Lots of repetition and a voice talking over music.
Ryan Adams
3/5
Solid album. Didn't know him before, but enjoyed it.
4/5
Wonderwall and Don't look back in anger on here. Their by far biggest hits. The rest is also pretty solid
Hole
3/5
90s rock. Lots of distortion. Female lead singer.
LL Cool J
2/5
Some songs are annoying (Milky Cereal, Jingling Baby) and others are not really my thing.
John Cale
3/5
Nothing special here in my opinion, but also not bad
Cypress Hill
2/5
90s hip hop. Was okay, but nothing impressive. But it did not seem to be misogynistic like the rest of hip hop at the time
The Yardbirds
2/5
Bit too much boogie for my moody
Brian Eno
2/5
Definitely weird music.
The Style Council
2/5
Quite boring music. Pop
Kelela
3/5
This R+B/Soul album was not so bad actually.
Arcade Fire
3/5
Solid Album.

3/5
Singer songwriter. Heard of the name, but never actively listened to him. Chill music.
The Blue Nile
4/5
I was pleasantly surprised by this
Buddy Holly & The Crickets
2/5
Sounds exactly how you would picture these folks doing music. You what you see.

Punk, but a bit too much for me
The Stooges
2/5
Country Joe & The Fish

Not really my jam

2/5
Many songs are quite annoying
R.E.M.
3/5
Much sounds the same. Was okay though.

Old School Hip-Hop. Some songs are meant to be annoying I think.
Talk Talk
2/5
A nothingburger for me
Sebadoh
1/5

Sounds like some kids got their parents instruments and recorded this is in their basement
Laura Nyro
3/5
Hmm, was okay, but not really my type
George Jones
2/5
Annoying country
Happy Mondays
1/5
Today is Wednesday and this album definitely did not help with rendering it a "happy" one. Failed on many levels then.
Music is pretty annoying. The singer does not even try
Bob Dylan
1/5
I realize more and more that I am not a Bob Dylan fan. "Mr Tambourine Man" was fine, but the rest is quite a lot of whining in a tone that I don't quite like
Beatles
4/5
Pretty solid album
Elastica
1/5
Boring music
Sugar
3/5
Nothing special, really
Manu Chao
4/5

4/5
I like this one. Also the long songs on the B-Side.
Pleasantly surprised.
4/5
Solid album.
808 State

Autotune galore. Some songs are okay, but most are quite annoying

2/5
60s-70s Funk? Not really my thing
The Beau Brummels
2/5
Hmm, okay. Typical 60s Pop/Rock

4/5
Really chill album. Intro and Islands are a classic. It flattens out towards the end though
Deerhunter
2/5
Hmm... Not really my jam. Was okay, but nothing I would listen to in my free time.
The Fall
1/5
Quite annoying "punk". It's just a singer singing with a monotonous voice. Pretty boring.
Dr. Octagon
1/5
Yeee, no... I didn't want to listen to a podcast or an e-book.
