The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars

A Christmas Gift For You From Phil Spector

Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not

Popular Reviews

There are countless incurable diseases, and the only thing that hurts me so much is the unrepeatability of childhood. I haven't listened to this record in ages yet I remembered every song and lyric. It transported me back to a time and place where everything felt a little bit easier than now, with the weight of a teenager on my shoulders, worries I thought were the most unbearable in the world, like the first heartbreak, an unanounced exam at school, your crush believing you don't exist, your friends hyping you up to do some stuff you regret later. Looking back, they feel almost comical and surreal when compared to now once I'm navigating adulthood and parenthood. Drinking beer, shooting pool, playing darts, discussing football, science, aliens, Mortal Kombat: Conquest the TV series from 1998, the golden generation of France that won the World Cup, whether Daniel Defoe's book 'Robinson Crusoe' is the best book ever, whether popsicles and ice creams are cousins, computers, Grand Theft Auto and Age of Empires, 'Black Knight' with Martin Lawrence, my new DVD and surround system, and naturally, Bon Jovi's hits. Of course, I no longer listen to Bon Jovi nor have I thought of their music. Of course, my favourite band in the world is The National and I rate 'I Love You Honeybear' by Father John Misty. Of course, I come around as the archetypal music snob that sits in the corner and criticises every person at a party. Of course my friends are married with kids and we rarely see each other. Of course I can no longer recognise my hometown or locate the places we used to roam. Of course I can only travel to my childhood and formative years through music. Of course I'm a nostalgic man. Of course I'm clinging on to memories. Memories are films about ghosts.

Think of the last scene of Blade Runner 2049. Now imagine lying in snow and bleeding. The red covers the white while the camera zooms out. ‘Treasure’ is that kind of an album.

My favorite album of all time.

Unfortunately, it didn’t pass the test of time.

Glad I discovered it!

Only decent and nothing more.

Great!

Not my favourite genre but I appreciate it considering the context of the time in question.

Unfortunately, it didn’t pass the test of time.

This was my introduction to Steely Dan - a memorable album, but memorable only because I discovered them through here. I’ll give it another listen but I doubt that it will change my mind regarding the scoring.

Dire Straits will always have a special place in my heart. They remind me of my father - it’s his favourite band - and the thought of my favourite person in the world as my music mentor is comforting, and warms my heart.

I really wanted to like it.

I expected so much more from this one.

Simply beautiful.

Snoozefest

Maybe I’m the problem, but I can’t seem to get along with this band.

It’s nice but Joni Mitchell has better albums than this one.

Underwhelming.

Think of the last scene of Blade Runner 2049. Now imagine lying in snow and bleeding. The red covers the white while the camera zooms out. ‘Treasure’ is that kind of an album.

A masterpiece.

Gave it three stars because of a few songs that have survived the test of time. The rest is pretty forgettable.

I didn’t like it.

A masterpiece!

It’s safe to state that this record got me into live albums. I’ve avoided them until now for some reason.

This is how overdosing on Skittles must feel like.

I don’t think that this album belongs on a top list.

I would’ve survived without it.

I liked it, even though I’ve listened to some of the songs so many times in my life that I eventually got bored.

Today was a really happy day, which prevented me from enjoying this album fully. I’ll give it another try when I’m melancholic.

Good stuff from Elton!

Нема што повеќе да се каже за овој албум. Ремек дело!

Congratulations to myself for surviving through the very end.

I love Jimi but this album goes on for too long.

One of the reasons why I love this project is that I would’ve never found out that I actually enjoyed Bob Marley’s music. I’m 30 albums in, and got two of his albums so far. Both are great stuff.

Comparing it to other Radiohead albums, this is a strong three.

It’s forgettable and there’s nothing much else to say.

People judge the person instead the musician, this noticed here and in Kanye’s reviews as well. I embarked on this journey keeping in mind that I don’t care about Morrissey or Kanye the persons, but the musicians. That said, I enjoyed this album. It has two great hits and a couple of decent lyrics. I believe it deserves the three stars.

It’s a unique experience but I struggled to concentrate.

It caught me in the wrong mood.

An incredible achievement for a debut album.

In another of my lives, this would’ve been five stars.

This is probably the most hardcore album on the list.

I liked the energy but it’s pretty much only that.

Michael Scott loves it, so why shouldn’t I.

Sade at her best.

Two stars is plenty.

Milan beats Real Madrid 3:1. I get two Radiohead albums in a span of a week. Life is great, man.

Maybe 2.5 stars would be the most optimal rating here.

Two evergreen songs like Imagine and Jealous Guy and a few averages. I think 3 stars is a decent score.

Not my vibe.

One of the best Brazilian albums of all time. In par with Acabou Chorare.

Not Thriller level, but amazing nonetheless.

Совршенство!

Mesmerizing!

It’s right up my alley.

Еден од најдобрите албуми на сите времиња.

This one doesn’t need to be on any 1001 list.

This is worse than AC Milan’s banter era.

I was anticipating this album, but if The Fountain is a 5, then Crocodiles is a solid 3.

I’m ending 2024 with a 1-star album. 2025 be good to me.

Amazing!

Wow!

Интересна енергија има албумов, не е најдоброто од Talking Heads, но би рекол дека е солидно. Трае околу 40тина минути, се слуша одеднаш, без многу замарање и анализа. После серија лоши албуми овој баш ми легна убаво. Нема нешто специфично што да се пише повеќе (бар по мене), така што ова ќе биде микро рецензија.

Имаше некој коментар во рецензии, вели „добро е ова за слушање во бродска кабина“ и тоа е тоа накратко. Нема ништо впечатливо на албумот, уште еден од оние за кои не ми е јасно што бараат тука. Но сепак, не е неслушлив, не заслужува да ми стои во lowest rated секцијата. Можеби, си велам, има нешто кое што ќе го пронајдеш само ако копаш подлабоко, но ме мрзи да го правам тоа. Така што, final verdict нека биде 2/5.

Се погоди да ги знам сите песни од артист што никогаш своеволно не сум го пуштил низ дома. Треба да си бил во кома или глув за да не наидеш барем на една песна од албумов додека слушаш радио во кола или си во кафич. Ми текна на Боби пред 10 и кусур години, ми вика да ти кажам еден сон сакам, многу е ненормален. Вика, сонувам како ми доаѓа волк, ноќе е и во некоја шума сум, но наместо да завие, ја отвора муцката и од уста му излегува рефренот од Someone like you. До ден денес број 1 сон на сите времиња.

A jack of all trades and a master of none.

It's me, Arthur Morgan and John Marston against the notorious Micah Bell and the charming Dutch van der Linde.

Irritating like a short blanket.

Great stuff!

My favorite album of all time.

Очекував повеќе.

My dad’s favourite band is my favourite band.

My guilty pleasure.

Manu Chao sings in front of Maradona. Maradona cries. An event of epic proportions that should be taught to new generations in hopes of making the world a better place.

Најомилена меморија од Продиџи е брат ми кога случајно го сретна денсерот со боцки на Макпетрол Подмоље и се сликаа.
