1001 Albums Summary

Heroes is the best known song from this album, probably because it also the only one really worthy. The rest are quite chaotic, without coherence, and not very enjoyable. Exception are Moss garden and Neukoln, with a more Zen, easy style. rate: 5/10

Not of fan of the pair; never sat down to listen to them. I probably already knew half of the songs, and listening to the album was a really pleasant experience, even if they are not what I usually listen to. 8/10

A few well known classics like Proud Mary, and many less known sons, some of them also good. 7/10

Michelle, Norwegian wood, Drive my car, and other easy listening song of different stiles. 7/10

A little bit bland, but has a couple of interesting tunes. 6/10

Funky and catchy. 6/10

Incredibly diverse album, and even though no song really stands out, it has no weak links in it. Delightful to listen to. 8/10

I usually enjoy orchestra-enriched rock, but this cooperation doesn't seam to work. They sound disconnected to the point that I had the feeling I was listening to some Metallica live recording while watching the old Mission Impossible series. I can't recommend it 4/10

A fresh breeze in a warm day. The album might seam at first just another guy with a guitar, but it provides a really enjoyable experience. 7/10

A timeless classic with a few incredible successes, including one of my favourite Man in the mirror. Other minor songs might have not aged that well, but the album as a whole is consistent. 7/10

Rather short album that is a bit more than just Hotel California. 6/10

I wanted to like this album, but I did not enjoy some of the rather dissonant and chaotic, and the rest were just ok. 5/10

Not a fan of the genre; can't say I enjoyed it. 2/10

Could not finish it. There were maybe 2 songs that were ok; had a hard time listening to most of the others. 1/10

Raw, frenetic, powerful. Yet, personally, the Stratocaster sound and the noisiness gets on my nerves. 4/10

24 songs, no waste. 8/10

Some powerful 90s punk. Highly recommendable, but only if you are into that kind of music. I am not. 5/10

4 tracks of very dynamic Jazz. I probably cannot appreciate it as much as it deserves. 6/10

Not Elton Jhon's best. 6/10

Fuzzy, Magic, Noisy, and sometimes a bit much. 6/10

Always pleasant and uplifting 7/10

A rather short and simple Reggae album. Not bad; not great. 6/10

Twisty, jumpy, catchy. Not bad if you like 50's music. 6/10

Not their best, nor their worse. 6/10

Really not my shite, but I went through the entire thing, so I guess it was not that bad. 4/10

Different, variated, interesting... but didn't resonate with me. 4/10

Somehow not as good as I remember it. 5/10

Didn't like them much in the 90s. Still don't. 5/10

Much punk. 5/10

I though about passing on this album, mainly because the genre has never been my cup of tea, but hey, nigga has rhythm! Glad to stand corrected. 7/10

Raw, disconnected, basic. Sounds as if each of the 4 focused on their own instrument ignoring what the rest are doing. 2/10

Reminded me a lot to the Beatles. But I guess I'm a bit older now. 6/10

Bland. Irrelevant. 3/10

Easy listening. 5/10

Laid back and easy, not very interesting though. 5/10

No. 2/10

I can't believe The Passenger is almost 50 years old. The rest of the album didn't age that well though. 7/10

So so. 6/10

80s, Funk & Soul. Only for fans. 4/10

I don't think I new any of the songs. Not bad. 6/10

Chaotic, full of cacophony. But it also lots of positive energy. 5/10

Bland. Very bland. 3/10

Great tunes, awesome energy. Not a fan of live disks though; sound is not the best, lots of talking. 7/10

A beautiful, timeless gem. 8/10

I guess I was not in the mood for this kind of music 3/10

I expected more. 5/10

Not bad 7/10

Some really nice tunes. 7/10

Bland. 3/10

Not bad. 6/10

Interesting 7/10

Average 6/10

Much more than just pop music. 8/10

Annoying imposed voice. Awful pitch. Yes, there that song everyone nows, and some of the songs are fine, but it was actually hard to get through to the end of the album. 5/10

OK? I guess? I wouldn't say it belongs here though. 4/10

Messy, punky, noisy. An acquired taste. 5/10

A couple of well known songs, yet not Led Zeppelin's best 6/10

Brilliant 8/10

Interesting, pleasant, but not involving. 5/10

Different, heterogenous, interesting. 7/10

Carefully crafted. Insipid. 5/10

Very long, repetitive songs that seam to only serve as excuse to never-ending solos by different instruments. I mean, it is not bad, makes for good background music. 5/10

Power album, if perhaps a little bit too homogeneous. 8/10

Haven't listened to them before. Reminded me of the Rolling Stones. Didn't like them either. 3/10

I'm not sure what I was expecting, but really didn't find anything worth this list. 3/10

This is not Tortoise, but Torture. 20 minutes song that is not good even as elevator music? The rest is just OK, sometimes, but nothing more. 1/10

Never heard of them before. Not bad. Forgettable. 5/10

The songs are quite plain and rather boring. It has a nice positive energy though. I guess they are in the list for being among the firsts to use this style? 5/10

I tried to like it, but I can get myself to enjoy this kind of music. It just feels flat and repetitive, musically uninteresting. 3/10

The recordings are not the best quality, but the songs have a certain charm that, together with the clicking language, make for a quite interesting and entertaining result. 7/10

I can understand why, and even agree, why they are in this list. All I can say is that it did not resonate with me. 5/10

Happily surprised. Warm and homey. 7/10

Physically painful to listen to. 2/10

Folky, Bluesy, old-school guitar picking. Surprisingly pleasant. 8/10

A little bit too psychedelic for my taste. 3/10

Disc that seams to be taken from the late 70s. Too "crispy" for me. 3/10

Can't objectively grade it; just not cut for me. 2/10

Incredibly influential album that keeps rolling like new. Great riffs, melodies, and lyrics. What's more to ask? 9/10

Not a fan of live albums. It's not bad, just not great. 6/10

Light, Beatlesy, enjoyable for the most part. 6/10

Mostly instrumental, focused on but not limited to the percussion. I would guess it had a huge influence in the future of funk, disco, hip-hop, and so many other genres. I enjoyed it more that I would have guessed. 7/10

A bit insipid. 5/10

Perhaps U2's best album, even if a bit uneven. It has a special place in my heart. 8/10

Pleasant background music. 5/10

Too focused on parody and too little on the music. I'm sure they had a blast though. 2/10

No. 1/10

Not sure why, I was expecting more. 4/10

Not their best. 6/10

Not a fan of the band, but I recognise their relevance and importance. The album has one, maybe two well known songs. The rest are absolutely forgettable. 4/10

Can't say I like the band, but this album is quite interesting. It includes studio and live recordings, well known to more obscure songs, and genres that go from pop/disco to some sort of punk. Still, not something I would choose. 6/10

It is not that it's bad, it's just bland. 3/10

Didn't know much of the album. Nothing surprising though. It's fine. 6/10

Funky Rap, not too shabby. If you can look past the lyrics, that is. 3/10

Plus one for trying to do something different. Another one for touching very different genres and styles. That's it. 3/10

Western, country music. I can't say it's bad, but couldn't make it to the end of the album. 3/10

The lyrics did not age well; lots of misogynistic and immature non-sense. That been said, it has some very good and iconic sons that defined a generation. The entire album is quite good, which is something difficult to find, particularly so early in a band's history. 9/10

When I'm 64 is one of my favourite Beatles songs. Add to it a couple of hits and you have a good album. It does contain a couple of forgettable pieces, and a presumptuous thing or two. 8/10

Repetitive at times, but not bad. 6/10

Crude, irreverent and with a sound that mostly sounds 30 years old. Quite interesting. 7/10

If you take out Free form guitar, and a couple other low scores, the album is quite enjoyable, even if I'm not a fan of this kind of music blend. 7/10

Slow and dull. I was expecting much more hip movement. 3/10

petty /pĕt′ē/ adjective, of small importance; trivial. 3/10

OK, I guess. If you like The Smiths. 7/10

I was Certainly not expecting to find Yodelling within all that funk! Quite original, even though not something I would choose to listen to. 6/10

Trying too hard? It was annoying at times. 4/10

The are some great songs in this album. Then again, there are some quite bad as well. 5/10

I had serious problems trying to listen to the songs till the end. I felt the necessity to cut them short. They felt increasingly oppressing. Maybe that was the point, but I cannot see myself wanting to experience it. 2/10

Ok? I guess? 5/10

Never gets old. 8/10

Easy listening. Very easy. 6/10

Epic. 9/10

Not into soul, but it was ok. 6/10

Can't get used to Janis voice. But I guess it goes with the music, which ends up working fairly well. 7/10

Raw, messy, laud. Not going to my playlist. 5/10

Well, at least the songs are short. 3/10

Quite a solid album, though I have never been a fan of the band. 8/10

Musically not a great achievement. 5/10

Not great, but interesting. 5/10

Perhaps the best heavy metal album ever, and definitely among the best overall. Meaningful lyrics, awesome musicians, catchy riffs, and a lot of positive energy. I cannot think of anything similar nowadays. 10/10

135 minutes jumping. Really not my jam, but by all means I enjoyed a bit. Not sure I will be listening to it again though. 7/10

Save for the lyrics, which are misogynistic to say the least, I have to admit that "nigga has rhythm". 7/10

Not very interesting 6/10

A bit too country for me, but overall quite nice. 6/10

Very nice voice; ok songs. Easy listening. 7/10

Progressive rock? Jazz? Who cares? Crazy stuff here; really interesting. 8/10

Rather short, easy listening and pleasant. 6/10

Kind of boring? Sometimes annoying? Could do without the country style and the unfortunate voice. 5/10

Repetitive, not engaging. 5/10

I like the genre, but I have never been an Anthrax fan. This album did not change my opinion. 3/10

I was surprised I didn't know most of the songs. Not sure if deserve to be in the list. 5/10

Very authentic and full of steam. But it gets a bit annoying from time to time. Probably something to watch live. 6/10

Two or three of the songs are quite bad, if perhaps a bit interesting as an experiment. The rest is just unbearable. 1/10

Not their best, but it does have a couple of jewels, such as Kashmir, Ten Years Gone, Wanton Song, and many songs that are just fine. 7/10

Interesting, though probably won't be listening to it again. Best song: Petty (Thief) Lout 5/10

4 songs, 40 minutes. Surprisingly refreshing and energising. 8/10

I always felt Beck was overrated, but the album is not bad. 7/10

Not what I'd call punk, but perhaps for the attitude. I did not pay attention to the lyrics, which might hide something. Musically, it just fine. 6/10

Accessible, easy listening Jazz. 7/10

I wanted to like this, but it was really unmoving, flat, boring. Songs like The Jungle Line are just bad experiments that I wouldn't put in an album. 2/10

Can't point out any particularly bad thing about the album, but also nothing particularly good. 5/10

I can do with the sense of humor, but not with the country music, sorry. 3/10

Some would call it elevator music. Well, then I'd have to say it is some awesome elevator music. 7/10

They're ok, but I've never been able to digest the Rolling Stones. 5/10

Monotonic, lifeless, empty. Nothing to write home about. 3/10

Sometimes is hard to get through the Stratocaster whine, other times just impossible to listen to (e.g. Aluminum). Yet there are some interesting tunes here and there. Luckily the songs are usually short. 4/10

One hit, and a lot of misses. 5/10

Surprisingly enjoyable. 7/10

Has a vintage sound to it through different music styles, but none of which resonated with me. 6/10

An important change in sound and style for Metalica that some criticise as an attempt to reach a wider audience. Perhaps, but then again, it was wildly popular because it contains several very good songs. 9/10

Great vibes, mix of India, China, Jamaica. Percussion off-beat here and there, which I found a bit annoying. 6/10

Maybe I didn't need the 9 minut solo of The Mule, but otherwise the concert is solid 8/10

It lacks of substance, but not terribly bad. 5/10

Background music. 5/10

Much like the album's cover, the music is insipid, forgettable, bearably perceptible. 3/10

Old school rock and roll and some nice riffs. 7/10

Never heard this album. Not the energy I would have expected. Rather disappointed. 4/10

Uneven mixed bag of pop and punkish ska 7/10

It is fine, I guess. But a bit overhyped. 7/10

Plain and boring, it doesn't even work as elevator music. 3/10

This album gathers rock, punk, ska and delivers some high quality stuff. Singing might be a bit annoying, but that's the whole purpose of punk, right? 9/10

I'm sure there a time and a mood for this album. It is sad and depressing. Hard to listening to. Musically, a mixed bag. 3/10

Never liked the band much, nor Morrison, but the album is actually very good. Besides the well know hits there's a couple of nice songs I did not know. 7/10

Not as good as other Jazzy things I got here. 5/10

+1 point for originality/craziness +1 point for being short That's about it. 2/10

Great album to listen to while on drugs. Probably. 2/10

Too messy, too out of tune, too 80s, too long, too pretentious. 2/10

A classic full of well known jewels, and less know powerful songs. 8/10

Songs are a bit too long for my test, and tend to be repetitive. Other than that, it is really a refreshing and authentic album. Reminded me of Buena Vista, but with a more raw and plain sound. 7/10

I thought I liked Elton John. Didn't enjoy this album though. It generally lacks essence. "Saturday Night's Alright" is the only song I would listen to again. 5/10

I have not been able to connect with the album. No one single song kept my attention for long. The fact I'm not into this kind of music didn't help. 3/10

I only new a couple of songs from her, and I generally liked them. The album has a lot of forgettable songs, which her voice cannot rescue. 6/10

Late punk / early grunge. Not a fan of either. The album stretched for longer than I would have wanted. 4/10

Not sure why, but I was expecting more. 6/10

Surprisingly enjoyable 7/10

Not working for me 5/10

Not their best 7/10

Meh 4/10

The funkiness and rapping are welcome; the abuse of 80's electronic sounds in some songs, not so much. 5/10

Didn't like the style, the sound, nor the energy. 5/10

A bit boring, but soothing. 6/10

The music is quite bland, and I am being generous. Lyrics and meaning are important, but cannot save this album. 5/10

Not great, but entertaining. 6/10

Unbearable. 2/10

Refreshing 8/10

Classic British Ska. Fun, energetic, repetitive. 7/10

Not great, not terrible. Certainly hyped, and that explains some of the hate. But overall is just an ok British rock album. 7/10

Easy listening. 7/10

Pleasant though not always engaging. 7/10

22:47 of background soft 70s synthesizer music. That's just for the first "song". It bothered me less that I would have guessed. 4/10

Her voice is an acquired taste, but the music is solid. 7/10

Meh 4/10

Too popish for my taste 3/10

Freshly classic. 7/10

Mediocre singing, simple and grey tunes. 5/10

Warm, cozy, beautiful. 8/10

Wasn't expecting much from Rod Stewart Didn't get it either. 4/10

Couldn't digest the band then, can't do it now. 3/10

A couple of OK songs, but otherwise rather dull 4/10

Sometimes repetitive (Part II a?), but otherwise fine background music 6/10

Not their best. Not great. 5/10

Some annoying pieces, such as Mass Production, and kinda repetitive for the most part. 5/10

Very 80s. But not in the good way. 5/10

I know the idea was to flip the table, but playing annoyingly out of tune like in Les and Ray is just childish. Had potential, but ended up falling short. 5/10

Actually better that I had expected. 7/10

Quite the album; no weak points. 9/10

Not bad, but quite bland. 6/10

I'm not into this kind of music, but I actually enjoyed it. 7/10

Not bad by all means, but perhaps unnecessary? Does not bring much. 5/10

Decent, ok as background music. 5/10

A couple of interesting songs, a few not really worthy. 6/10

The album has moods that go well with the movie, without that context is is rather bland. 4/10

Don't see the purpose of the second disk, mostly demo versions of the first disk. The signing is far from stellar, but the album is in general snappy and fun. Best underdog song: Apples. 7/10

Surprised to have heard a couple of these songs, not knowing who they were. All in all, a fairly pleasant experience. 7/10

More interesting than good, but there's value also in there. 6/10

Never understood the hipe over this album. Yes, there are 2 or 3 good songs; Purple Rain is certainly great, but the album is kinda boring? 5/10

Interesting, but I didn't like it that much. 5/10

Quite the hidden gem. 8/10

Enjoyable, though not very engaging. 6/10

Can't say I liked it, but then again I was not expecting much from a rap / hiphop album, so... 4/10

A couple of catchy bits; but overall, not worthy. 5/10

A neat album with a lot of hits and no poor pieces. A defining release for a generation 9/10

So I knew the fist two songs, and they are OK; but then some, like Nasty Girl, just seam off. Definitely less that I had expected. 4/10

I can appreciate listening to something different, but it was actually hard to get through the entire album. 3/10

I had not listened to the album before, and I was a bit disappointed. There are some really good pieces, which already new, but also allot of fillers. "Rainy Day, Dream Away" was a nice surprise. 6/10

Uneven singing, particularly "Twisted" (was that on purpose?) Average music (elevator music) 5/10

Not a fan of live albums, but this one is actually engaging. The music and the performance are both beautiful. 9/10

Really disappointing album. Pretentious, empty, boring, annoying, soulless. It holds no value, not even as an experiment. 2/10

I don't have a problem with Glam rock, but this album is extremely limited and plain. It certainly it does not deserve being in this list, nor in any playlist of mine. 4/10

The bad side of the 80s. 4/10

I wanted to like this album, but man, it was too tough. The depressive needlessly-violent industrial pill was too much to swallow. 3/10

Ok, I guess? It didn't bother me in the background, which is not nothing considering I don't like this type of music. 5/10

Nice voice, mostly insipid slow pop music. 4/10

Not all songs are great, but its a pretty solid album. 7/10

With you were here is certainly a masterpiece, but I felt the rest of the songs were unnecessarily long and uninteresting. 6/10

Background groovy funk. 7/10

Not great, but a solid 3. 7/10

Typical of the 60s and not outstanding in any way. 6/10

Funky, though not my vibe. 6/10

I've never followed Black Sabbath, but I really enjoyed this album. 9/10

Nothing particularly wrong with the album, but nothing particularly good about it either. 6/10

Quite interesting; reminded me of Bjork in several songs. 8/10

Kinda generic, and probably not worthy of the list, but pretty decent nu-metal. 6/10

Not sure if it's the voice distortion or the general mood, but I've never been able to tolerate the band. But I have to admit that they have some hits, and overall is an OK album. 6/10

Great, but... I was expecting more? 8/10

Body Count is ok, but the rest of the album is dull, repetitive, and excessively long. 3/10

Smooth and catchy. Not my thing, but not bad at all. 7/10

Trying too hard to be original, it ends up being both bland and undigestible. 2/10

I only know a few of his tunes, and I was expecting something with more energy. 6/10

I don't know much about Jazz, but I can say I did not find this album pretentious as some other Jazz things I've heard, and it was quite enjoyable. 7/10

Sounds just like any other Country music album. Not a fan, can't really have an objective view. 5/10

I remember them being better, more interesting. 7/10

Nothing against Disco music, but this album contains only one hit (repeated 3 times!) and either bland songs or horrible remixes (... Lost in music) 5/10

I had a hard time enduring the whining and finishing this repetitive and boring album. I guess their 3 songs I know/like are from a later period. 3/10

I can't sincerely say this album deserves to be in the list, but I did enjoy it. 7/10

This would probably not be in the list if it wasn't by McCartney. It is rather simple and short, but also fresh and genuine. 6/10

I have a lots of respect for the band, but I couldn't get myself to like this album. OKish most of the time, annoying at moments. 5/10

Amateurish and a bit childish; not worth a second pass. 3/10

I'm not disputing this album being in the list; makes a lot of sense from the political and musical point of view. Yet I did not find it very interesting or entertaining; just plain ok. 5/10

So 80s, but too much pop and too little rock for my taste. 3/10

OK; so lyrics mostly suck, but the album gets too much hate for what it is. It has a couple of good songs. 5/10

Loved the feel good vibes, and the mix of styles. 7/10

This is not Heavy music. Not even Punk. Most of the time it's just the sound of 4 independent instruments making their own thing. Longstockings is probably the only track I somewhat enjoyed. Trying to hard to be "different"? 1/10

Quite the solid hard-rock album with several hits. Lyrics ain't much, and some songs sound similar, but hey, it definitely works. 8/10

Not a Bossa Nova fan. 4/10

OK? -ish? I guess? Just terribly long. 5/10

Yes, the singing sucks. The songs are not great either. But the album probably holds some historical importance. That's not enough to make me want to hear it again. 3/10

If you look pass the poor signing and some repetitiveness, it is not that bad. 6/10

Easy listening. 6/10

Soothing. 7/10

A bit dull, but not that bad. 5/10

Not sure if it was anything special then, but it does sound pretty generic 70s rock. 7/10

Not much to say. 6/10

Not a fan, but the album is quite entertaining 7/10

Didn't know most of the songs in the album, and it was just ok. Of course, the two bests know songs do bring the album higher. 7/10

Could not get through the entire album. "Star" is the only track I could listen to again. 3/10

It sounded all the same, but OK background music. 5/10

Some good tracks, some not so good, but overall not bad. 6/10

There are some nice songs there, though perhaps I'm missing a bit more energy. Some songs could do with more percussion. 7/10

Didn't know most of the songs. Neat. 8/10

Surprisingly energetic and positive. 7/10

Not a jazz fan, but this was beautiful. 9/10

Came with no expectations and was positively surprised. 7/10

Neat, though it gets a bit repetitive at some point. 7/10

I only new "Alright". The songs have variety and in general interesting, though a bit too Pop for me. 7/10

The music is solid, and I love they went to San Quentin to have a concert, but I'm generally not a fan of live albums. 6/10

Except for the well know balade, I found it rather flat and boring. 5/10

Meh. Forgettable. 5/10

Is it Pop? Is it Punk? It's Ponk! Like my joke, the music was rather dull. 6/10

Did not bother me, did not fascinated me. Actually, it didn't produce me anything. 5/10

Some nice tunes, some less so. 7/10

I can only say I did not enjoy this album. 2/10

Sounds as if the Beatles went Grunge But not in a good way. 3/10

Not a punk aficionado, can't really appreciate the music or its historical importance. 6/10

Some nice songs, but I mostly liked that the album is not monotonous and has some variation to its music. 7/10

Never been a fan, but if you have to give me pop, at least they have some real instruments. Liked Trouble. Reminded me a bit of Pink Floyd (if I may) 7/10

I do like Iron Maiden, and even though this the first of the band might have historical importance, it is far from what the band achieved later on. 6/10

A couple of hits, too many remixes, and mostly forgettable if not crappy songs. 6/10

A good blend between rock and pop, though the songs are of mixed quality. 6/10

Unbearable. 1/10

Not my thing, but OKish. 6/10

I can see why this album has a lot of good reviews. Though it did not resonate with me that match, it does contain a lot of different and interesting things. 7/10

Average electronic background music. 3/10

A bit insipid and generic. OK for background music. 5/10

Not bad, considering I am not much into this kind of music. 7/10

I only knew their hits, but this entire album is quite solid . 8/10

Sampled music like that of this album can get annoyingly repetitive, but Moby does it with enough tact as to make it quite enjoyable. 8/10

Odd. Weird. Interesting. 7/10

I've seen mostly polarising reviews, and not sure why. The album is actually not bad, yet also certainly not awesome. 6/10

A classic. 7/10

Utter respect for the guy, though musically not in the same frequency. 7/10

Didn't know most of the tracks, most of them mediocre with only couple of very good ones. 7/10

Where to start. Horrible out of tune vocals. Pitiful lyrics. Total lack of talent. Single hit is a cover. Unnecessary long suffering. It can only be understood as a parody, but apparently it is not. 2/10

Does not deserve so much hate, but then again it doesn't deserve being in the list either. Yet again, I had to put up with a lot of far worse stuff from the list, so let's call it a "meh." 6/10.

Rather short but powerful, raw album. Not entirely of my liking, but undoubtably very relevant in its historical context. 7/10

Certainly not my type of music, but I found the album both soothing and enjoyable. 7/10

Man, was this dull and boring. 1/10

Depressive gothic ska? Sounds like a join project between Madness and The Cure. They are often out of tune, and the broken-pitch vocals are quite annoying, but the album is otherwise interesting and diverse. 7/10

Perfectly forgettable. 5/10

Dude makes 70s music 20 years later. Brings nothing new, nothing interesting. 5/10

Noisy, loud, untidy. Perhaps too much? 5/10

Did not know the band except for the one song. Positively surprised. 8/10

Quite the experience in did! 8/10

I really hated the band in the 80s, but now, now I just dislike their music. 1/10

Plants and Rags is painfully out of tune; otherwise the album is quite enjoyable, and authentic. 7/10

In spite of the horrible fiasco of "On the run", this is an awesome album. Specially if you also consider it as the score of the film. 9/10

I would probably never "choose" to listen to Sinatra, but I have always enjoyed the music. 7/10

Chill, groovy, easy listening for the background. Nice elevator music, but nothing exciting. 6/10

Didn't expect much, only knowing I'm "Only Happy When it Rains", but the album was overall a pleasant surprise. 7/10

Saw them once live. Never been into speed trash, but you've got to admit they have quite the energy. 5/10

Quite interesting, specially considering its context. 7/10

Rather bland. 5/10

TL;DLA :D 5/10

Epic album :D 7/10

Too basic. Too stoned. 5/10

Some of the best Queen in here, even if there are also a couple of weak songs. 9/10

Bland, utterly bland. 5/10

A bit annoying, a lot of boring. 4/10

Not one great song, nor a particular bad. The album feels older than 2008, and I am not sure about its historical importance. But overall I can't say I did not like. 7/10

60s vibes. I imaging this is what it feels like to listen to the Beatles for the first time, in the 2020s 7/10

I though I already reviewed this one. It has a couple of good songs (Motivator, Get it on), but I would have probably appreciated it more in the 70s than right now. 7/10

Never listened the entire album. Most of the songs are too chaotic and mediocre, with the 2 or 3 known songs being ok. 6/10

A rather short album in spite of having more than a dozen songs. Nothing stands out greatly, but the energy is there. I bet they are better live (as in the flash, not a live album). 7/10

I tried to get into the historical context of the album, but man the songs are really boring and drag for too long. I mean, they are not repulsive, but wouldn't want it for anything else than background music. 5/10

Too chaotic for my taste. 4/10

I always try to separate the artist from the art. Not a fan of either. Considering I'm not a fan of the genre it was not all that bad though 5/10

Not a fan of her voice nor the lyrics, but the album is well produced and succeeds in bringing back a long-lost epoch, even if it is not your cup of tea. 7/10

I came across several albums from the list that are enjoyable background music. This one didn't make that cut. 3/10

Without being an achievement in the history of music, it has the kind of positive vibes I want in my life. 7/10

Quite some hits in this iconic Sprinting album. He never really resonated with me, but I can't deny its appeal. 7/10

Smashingly fine 7/10

I know the most famous songs, but I probably never listened the album start to finish before. I was pleasantly surprised. 7/10

Did I just enjoy this??? 7/10

I love this list takes me out of my comfort zone. 33 minutes of Jazz in 4 songs that I would otherwise never had listened to, but also that I will probably never listen to again. 7/10

I can't exactly pinpoint what bothers me of this album. It is not that it can't decide what it wants to be. It's not the singing, nor the outdated sound. If I try to analize it, I feel I should have enjoyed more. Perhaps I would have liked it better within a film; it really feels like a sound track. 6/10

Some fine tunes, and some really bad ones (Rave on? really?) Maybe I didn't get it, because today is Friday, not Monday? 5/10

Don't be fooled by the horrible cover. Nor by the last name: this is the good Morrison. 8/10

Really bland 3/10

There is some crap in the album (girls?), and only one or two very good songs. So, let's say its average. 5/10

Too much talking, then mediocre music. Even the decent songs are just insufferable (e.g Guillotine) 3/10

If it was 1965, would I consider this as a boyband album? OK, they are actually composing, and actually playing instruments. Well, not their best, but hey, it is at least in stereo. 5/10

I don't understand the hate. I mean, sure; it's rather bland and nothing I would put in my play list. But at least I didn't suffer it, like I did with other stuff in this list. 6/10

One point for cover art One point for originality 2/100

There is something off-putting about this album, but I cannot put my finger on it. Is it my mood today? Is it the singing? The lack of essence? I really don't know 5/10

Quite interesting; a bit of The Police, a bit of progressive rock, a touch of psychedelic. I liked it. Would definitely listen to again. 8/10

Well, I didn't hate it. That is quite a lot considering I'm not into the genre. 5/10

Brutally dull 4/10

There is a lot in this album, and not everything is great, but at least they tried. 6/10

Not particularly engaging, but still pleasant 6/10

Yeah, sorry. No. 4/10

I thought I knew Timberlake's work, and decided I didn't like it. Turns out I did not actually know a lot of his work. Now I can say with improved confidence that I don't like it at all. 2/10

Never a fan of Nirvana. But I have to admit not only about the quality of the album, but also its historical importance. It definitely set the baseline for any unplugged/acoustic work after it. 9/10

Doors vibes, but with less personality. 6/10

Might have been innovative at its time, but the cheap synth vibe was both repetitive and annoying. The poor singing did not help either. 4/10

1st reaction: 21 tracks? 2nd reaction: 35 minutes?? 3rd reaction: this from 1977??? 4th reaction: hm, not bad. 7/10

It's been a Long Time since I got a different, refreshing album. Even if not something I would listen to again, I appreciate to have the change to listen to some fine music outside the UK-USA axis. A mix of Latin and Jazz, it is very pleasant and easy going. 7/10

I'm sure there is a context in which I would have found it OK. 4/10

Just ok, not much more to say about it 5/10

Sounds like an attempt to go against the mainstream as a goal instead of a path to something else. 3/10

Not sure what this type of music is, but I liked it. 8/10

I liked the guy, and I wanted to like this, but except for the the last 2 songs, the music seams to be completely disconnected from the singing in long and tedious songs. 4/10

Not a memorable album, at least for R.E.M. standards, but not bad at all. 7/10

I was never a fan, and still think the face paint is stupid. But I got to see them live once in a Monsters of Rock festival, and put up a really engaging show with a lot of positive energy. And that energy is very much present in this album, that does not pretend to be deep, just fun. 9/10
