Palo Congo by Sabu

Listening to this makes me feel exactly as I would imagine Cuba in 1957. Such a pure and wild sound experience.

Aug 25 2024

A short, entertaining album between blues, country and rock. I liked the boogie-woogie style piano in some songs. I especially liked I Ain't the One and Free Bird. It was fun to listen to.

Back At The Chicken Shack by Jimmy Smith
Aug 26 2024

Relaxed jazz album, with a cool organ sound. Entertaining, although the songs are quite similar. The guitar reminds me of Julian Lage. I like the title song Back at the Chicken Shack the best.

The ArchAndroid by Janelle Monáe
Aug 27 2024

I would never have guessed what era this album is from. It sounds like something out of science fiction from the 70s. Poppy, soulful, sometimes complex rnb pieces and dreamy ballads. The singer has an extremely versatile voice. The tempo changes constantly and so it never gets boring. My favorite tracks are Come Alive; Oh, Maker; Mushroom & Roses and Tightrope.

At San Quentin by Johnny Cash
Aug 28 2024

What an incredible piece of music history. Raw, real, intense and intimate. You can feel the tense atmosphere. I enjoyed every second of it.

Neon Bible by Arcade Fire
Aug 29 2024

Every time I listen to arcade fire, because it's so praised by the critics, I enjoy it, but it just doesn't blow me away. I like the dark parts of this album. (Antichrist Television Blues), Keep the Car Running and Windowsill are my favorites.

21 by Adele
Aug 30 2024

Surprised how many of the songs I knew from the Album. But of course they were playing everywhere by the time, in my mid twenties. Time is passing by so fast. I love Rolling in the Deep.

Led Zeppelin IV by Led Zeppelin
Aug 31 2024

The greatest rock band of all time, the greatest rock song of all time. No-brainer… 5 stars

Forever Changes by Love
Sep 01 2024

I had never heard of this band before. The sound is somewhere between Doors and Beach Boys, dark and light at the same time. Very unique. The voice has something hypnotizing about it and it always feels a bit like being mocked. The arrangements are terrific. Really cool album.

You Want It Darker by Leonard Cohen
Sep 02 2024

That's a difficult one. I really like Leonard Cohen as a person and whenever he's played somewhere I think "Cool! Leonard Cohen". His voice and his style are unmistakable, but I found listening to a whole album where every song sounds like a requiem quite exhausting. You have to be in a very special mood for that. Nevertheless, there were some very good songs, I love "You Want It Darker".

Nilsson Schmilsson by Harry Nilsson
Sep 03 2024

I wasn't familiar with this artist either, although he really does have an outstanding voice. A very entertaining and varied album, humorous and serious pieces and complex arrangements. From pop to rock to rhythm and blues, the album covers a broad spectrum. I particularly liked Early in the Morning, Down and Jump into the Fire.

90 by 808 State
Sep 04 2024

A wild, progressive electro album. I was surprised by the sound, considering that it comes from this era. Of course there are elements that sound strange by today's standards. But overall I liked it very much, I will have to listen to the album more often. I liked Pacific 202 and Sunrise the most.

Liquid Swords by GZA
Sep 05 2024

That's not my style when it comes to hip hop. The beats too boring, the flow too monotonous, the voice too colorless. The best were the skits between the songs.

Gris Gris by Dr. John
Sep 06 2024

That's why I like the app so much, because I discover musicians and albums like this. Wikipedia: "Dr. John... the most important and almost the only representative of voodoo rock" and in my opinion also the best! 😅 I love it! My favorites are "Gris-Gris Gumbo Ya Ya" and "I walk on Guilded Splinters".

The Stranger by Billy Joel
Sep 07 2024

I only knew two songs by Billy Joel, but the album is great. The style and the voice remind me a lot of Elton John. Casual laid-back songs mix with sophisticated compositions and powerful ballads.

Palo Congo by Sabu
Sep 08 2024

Listening to this makes me feel exactly as I would imagine Cuba in 1957. Such a pure and wild sound experience.

Mothership Connection by Parliament
Sep 09 2024

I don’t know much about funk music, but this sounds prototypical to me. But it didn't really pick me up. Maybe I'll have to listen to it again sometime.

Sep 10 2024

My second funk album in a row. This is more experimental, with influences from jazz, which I liked. Great album.

Beach Samba by Astrud Gilberto
Dec 16 2024

The album evokes memories of old VHS movies, perhaps classic James Bond scenes of 007 going ashore on an exotic island. The music is certainly well-crafted for its genre. However, it fails to fully capture my interest, as it doesn’t offer enough variety or depth across a single album.

Smash by The Offspring
