The Black Saint And The Sinner Lady

Charles Mingus

1/5

Sounds like you give a preschool class some wind instruments and drums and press record. Just can't get into that stuff.

3/5

I'm not really into that experimental electronic stuff. The record has its moments and some good ideas. I know the electronic elementd are the special thing about this album, but for me they ruin the otherwise okay-ish album. Apart from this the sound is very monotonous and most of the songs sound very similar. No melodies that stay in my head.

The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill

Lauryn Hill

2/5

I really have no idea what I should think of it. But I don't really like it.

A Hard Day's Night

Beatles

3/5

Well...for me it's not bad, some good melodies. But all in all it's just boring, repetitive and...yeah...boring. maybe it was something special back then, but now for me there's a lot of Bands who do the Beatles style better than the Beatles. Give it 3 stars out of fear a Beatles fan will kill me otherwise.

I Am a Bird Now

Antony and the Johnsons

3/5

Not to bad although not my style. Nice ideas but can't get over the feeling of restaurant music.

Born To Be With You

Dion

2/5

Feels like it's never ending

Aftermath

The Rolling Stones

4/5

Only knew "paint it black" before. Thought it would be rockier, not so bluesy. After I adapted to the unusual panning of the mix I really enjoyed it.

Who's Next

The Who

4/5

Hm..I tried a few times to get into that classic rock stuff. While the stones actually grew on me with "aftermath", I still have some trouble with this one even though I know this record for some time now. Want to give it 3.5, but because of the legendary status and a great memory connected with the who I'll give it 4.

E.V.O.L.

Sonic Youth

2/5

Some songs remind me of Hole without the energy, some songs don't make sense to me at all.

The United States Of America

2/5

Some songs are too chaotic for me, other are far too boring...but at the same time I was excited what comes next. But at the and of the day I didn't really enjoy it.

Tapestry

Carole King

4/5

Makes fun listening to. Somehow reminds me of Janis Joplin but relaxed.

Vulnicura

Björk

1/5

Just can't get behind how people can listen to music like that. Although I would barely call it music, because music for me includes instruments.

The Specials

4/5

Its a cool style they make. Not my style but I enjoyed it.

Zombie

Fela Kuti

2/5

I would rate the album itself between 2 and 3 stars. Although especially in this case I have a hard time separating the artist from the record. I have to appreciate his courage criticizing the government and the consequences he had to face. But his views on women etc. destroy his otherwise praiseworthy ambitions.

I Should Coco

Supergrass

3/5

Not to bad bot nothing memorable

Arular

M.I.A.

1/5

This is horrible

Remain In Light

Talking Heads

2/5

Not what I expected. From a musical point of view probably not too bad, but I didn't like it.
