Känns som definitionen av "funk". Väldigt goa rytmer och skön musik. Dock för mycket prat för min del. Hade nog hellre haft jazzmusiken/funkmusiken utan pratat (eller med sång).

Vol. 4
Black Sabbath
While I know who Black Sabbath and Ozzy are I havent relly listened to a whole album of theirs before. Dreamer is the stand out song for me but the whole album was a good listen. FX as an instrumental song in the middle seemed a bit out of place but from what I knew about the band I guess I shouldn't be very surprised. Laguna sunrise as a later instrumental song fit the album much better in my opinion.
A strong album but not something I would listen all the way through again.

This album threw me of the deep end to say the least. African music isn't something I have listened to at all (except for some Cristpher Tin songs).
So this African singing with soothing background noice or pop rythms was like a whole new experience that I truly loved. Experiencing something new in ways of music doesn't happen very often so even tho I probably wont play this on repeat in the future its something I will carry with me.

This has a clear sound of its time. By that I mean that its music that people certainly loved at the time it was created and people who listened to it back then still have fond memories about it. I would say that for the rest of us this feel outdated. I don't really know what to class this ass, rock? Folk? something in between before the genres were what they became maybe. Perhaps this album was the inspiration that created the albums that I would call timeless? There is maybe a hint of something with the guitar riffs and the style of singing.

Reminds me a lot of other grunge bands but not as aggressive and I don't know if it fits. At the same time it also feels like some kind of pop-rock but with more dist in the guitars which also creates a sound I have a hard time pinpointing. That being said a lot of the songs are easy to listen to while going about the day. I don't know if its something I would actively listen to but I also wont skip to the next song.

slow britrock. While good I feel like I've heard it before even before I listened to the album. Nothing wrong with the music but nothing that makes me seek it out. While the singer has a good voice and I don't dislike the songs on this album, Beautiful Ones is the only song that I know by Suede and I don't think any song on this album will stick with me enough to remember it.

While I haven't listened to this album before there are so many songs I have heard a lot throughout the years. Hearing them on the same album makes me realize just how many good songs Madonna has. Even though I don't actively choose to listen to Madonna when I pick what to listen to she has so many songs that I never skip when they come on.
That being said I really like this album and had a great time listening through it.

While its not a style I often listen to myself songs from this album will have their place in several playlists so I can groove along when they come up.

Maybe its me who doesn't get it but the mixing on this album where the drums and distorted guitars are so loud that I can't hear the singer/singers (I really can't hear if there is 1,2, or 3 singing) makes me almost instantly dislike this album. The instruments themselves are good and it feels like something I would enjoy if I could hear what they were saying.

I listened a bunch to Outcasts album that came out 3 years after this one. That was wasn't as heavy hip-hop as this one is except for Ms. Jackson. This is also shown in the amount of listens each song has. Their later album was much more aimed at the general public and was played a lot on the radio and MTV.
I really like the hip-hop songs on this album though, the beat and flow is really nice and takes me back to early 2000s music. All the Interlude songs takes me out of the album as a whole though. I just want to vibe out to the music and a lot of the interludes takes me out of that. Take those out and you have a bunch of songs I would listen to again and just put on in the background while going about my day.

I got this album on day 115 and I have realized that I write more and more about how albums sound like the start of something or that I can see why an album is on this list based on the fact that I can see all the later bands that got their influences from there.
This album falls somewhere in between. It both takes from previous alt-rock bands but transforms it to something new that I feel I have heard parts of a million times in rock bands all through the 90s and 2000s.
Good songs throughout and even though all of the songs doesn't create a consistent feeling or flow the songs all fit together and the differing feelings made me enjoy the whole experience.

This is a really interesting album and I mean that in the best possible way. The songs are very different with Pauls distinctive voice and the guitar as some of the only things that binds the album together.
I cant stop listening to the album as a whole. The switch from an African choir singing in what I assume is their native tongue to an accordion is insane and yet it somehow works. And then suddenly "You can call me Al" comes on. How have I never heard the rest of this album when I've heard this song so many times before?

Some good catchy songs on this album. As with a lot of music in the genre it unfortunately doesn't hit as hard when English is your second or third language since it requires looking up the lyrics and reading along to get the depth of rap and that in turn requires me to get interested enough in the song to look that deep in to it. I still enjoyed the album and the beats bobbing along catching bits and pieces here and there.

This group was totally new to me. Their sound has a really good base with country and then they add other things on top. It's not something I would listen to every day but I can certainly appreciate how well put together and mixed the songs are. It was a fun experience listening through the album.

Home Is Where The Music Is
Hugh Masekela
I really like the heavy trumpet focus on this album. Its of course natural since the man who's name is on the album plays that instrument but I feel I needed to add it since jazz isn't a genre I usually listen to.
While I enjoyed most of the songs a few of them seemed to drag a bit and some of the screeching sounds he makes with the trumpet are just bad.
Although all that might just be me not "understanding" the album. Either way it was a fun album to listen through.

Electric Music For The Mind And Body
Country Joe & The Fish
From the first note you know this is going to be psychedelic music and it certainly is. In a way that is about 200 percent to strange for me. While some parts of certain songs were good they quickly turned in to strange notes, strange singing and things I don't really know how to describe. Its always fun listening to the album of the day but I can't say this was something I will ever listen to again.

An ok electronic album in my eyes. No song really pulled me in but no song sounded really bad either. Very middle of the road for me

My Bloody Valentine
Holy distorted guitarsound! I am kind of lost on what to say about this album other than that. The singing is so so so low volume, the drums and bass is in the middle and then they guitar is twice as loud if not even more.
I couldn't get in to this att all.

Innervisions
Stevie Wonder
While I certainly have heard about Stevie Wonder I have never listened to him before this. I like the funk sound throughout and the whole album had a lot of nice songs. The genre itself lowers the score for me though. Its not really something I see myself listen to on its own another day.

Good rock music and the singer has a nice voice. Really nice to have on in the background while working around the house.

Another Creedence album is always welcome. Although its songs I have heard many times before its still great and I will continue listening in years to come.

Tapestry
Carole King
I don't know exactly what it is (I think its something in the audio mix) but the songs have something that makes me dislike the sound. I can hear parts I like in the songs but there is something in the back of the audio that just pushes me away from loving it. I listened to some of her songs from later albums and remasters and the feeling was gone. The songs sounded lovely and what I heard felt so much better.

Not my vibe at all. Very depressing in a bad way. Emotional albums with a somber mood can be great. This one isn't if you ask me.

Apocalypse 91… The Enemy Strikes Black
Public Enemy
Good hip hop album that clearly shows what time its from which isn't a bad thing in this case. I haven't heard much of public enemy before but I like a lot of what I hear here.

No Sleep 'Til Hammersmith (Live)
Motörhead
I've seen Motörhead live more than once and live their music so the songs aren't new to me. Having a live album on this list wasn't something I expected though. The quality of a live performance from 1981 is extremely good and the crowd yelling along adds to the feeling.
The album is great, the band sounds just as good as when I saw them 20+ years later.

Really nice rock album. I like the grunge feel to it. If I had heard this in my teens it would be played on repeat a lot. Today I will have to make due with a listen through and adding some of my favorites on suiting playlists.

David Bowie
I like a lot of Bowies earlier albums and songs, he has some real classics. This album doesn't vibe with me at all though. I don't know how to explain it. The songs aren't straight up bad but I just can't get in to them.

Dark rock from the 80s isn't something I was expecting today. Its not something I'm familiar with and after today I probably wont be again. Its very monotone and tries to create an atmosphere that just doesn't work for me. Its just boring.

An ok Bowie album. Some good songs and some not so good ones. None were great though which is to bad. I didn't get pulled in enough to listen again I think.

l love Springsteen and this albums has some real bangers. You can clearly hear how much younger he was compared to now just based on his voice. Listening through this at least once today and it might be more.

I liked some of the songs on the album but a lot of them had sounds mixed in that just doesn't vibe with me. It take me out of the mood and song completely.

The Kinks
The Kinks are a band I've heard a lot before. Not many songs from this album though and I kind of get why after today. While their sound is similar to their more famous songs there is something missing for me with this album. Nothing bad about it, just something missing for it to be really good.
