Tanto Tempo

Bebel Gilberto · 2 likes

5/5

wow. This is music that doesn't just play in the background—it creates a mood that lingers long after the final note. Whether it's early morning, afternoon or late at night, her soothing voice and subtle arrangements are a treat for my ears and emotions.

an MIT engineer recording one of the best-selling (debut)albums of all time in his basement, legendary. It’s More Than a Feeling, and the entire album has this smooth, easy-going rock vibe. Consistently great.

Sail Away

2/5

Hit and miss. The tunes are good, lyrics cynically clever, his voice like a turtle with a cold.

Feeling 15 again. Did not expect this one to be in the list. While undeniably strong, the album's intensity makes it more of a concentrated experience than a casual repeat listen.

Cosmo's Factory

Creedence Clearwater Revival

In It For The Money

Either Or

Elliott Smith

4/5

Very easy goiing and complete. Altough there's a certain sad flowing trough. Ended up listening to all his music for the rest of the evening.

Iron Maiden

3/5

Far better than expected! The album shines with captivating vocals and a very catchy sound. While enjoyable, it doesn’t quite sweep me off my feet

Only the first 6 seconds of the album i liked.

Songs For Swingin' Lovers!

Frank Sinatra

5/5

Wow. What a beauty this album. His voice, the big band, the whole composition. Great.

Dookie

Green Day

5/5

Old school memories with this one. Altough I discovered Green Day mainly trough Nimrod, Dookie was a quick catch up for me. I like the album from "Burn Out" to "All By Myself" back and forth. Love the album art too. Mine came with a green case. Still have it.

Eternally Yours

The Saints

4/5

wow. This album rocks! xThrowback to the early foundations of punkrock. I love fast pace of the drums, the drums and the drums. This one will definitly on my longlist.

Odessey And Oracle

The Zombies

3/5

Lovely rocking album. Weird Zombie story about the Zombie’s.

Logical Progression

LTJ Bukem

4/5

1996, bass and drums and soothing senthersiser sounds.This whole albums feels like a chill out evening, or just background during a focus session. The blend of rhythmic groove with atmospheric textures feels timeless. It's a Logical Progression from dancing to chilling.

Hotel California

Eagles

3/5

Yeah, The title track is obviously iconic. The whole album is filled with great songs. With Life in the Fast Lane and New Kid in town pulling the peloton ahead.

Songs In The Key Of Life

Stevie Wonder

5/5

It's absolutly brilliant.

Blue Lines

Massive Attack

5/5

This one kicked in right from the start with 'Safe From Harm'. The whole album flows effortlessly. Carried by slow, thundering bass grooves a combined with good vocals.. The whole album has you swinging and chilling at the same time.

Superfuzz Bigmuff

Mudhoney

1/5

This one hurt.. The supposedly groundbreaking fusion of garage rock and punk feels more like a relentless assault on the ears.

You Want It Darker

Leonard Cohen

5/5

IMO, best listend as a whole. Leonard Cohen's strong, dark voice leads us through a masterful exploration of mortality, depression, and spiritual longing with both gravitas and exciting expectation.. This is one of my favorites and I can listen to endlessly, a deep final statement from a legendary songwriter.

Time Out

The Dave Brubeck Quartet

5/5

Catchy, cool jazz with a distinctive piano rhythm. Just like Dave Brubeck probably didn't expect his tunes to become hits, I didn't expect to be so drawn in by this cool jazz, with its saxophones and catchy rhythmic style

Ace of Spades

Motörhead

4/5

Love the band's raw energy.. the speedy, blistering guitarwork and fast paced drums. It's rock&roll on a high-octane mixture.

Drunk

Thundercat

4/5

This bass-wizard Thundercat made a funky space-trip. Soul-searching grooves to trap-funk magic.

Sheer Heart Attack

Queen

4/5

Hunting High And Low

a-ha

1/5

Apart from take on me every now and then. Blegh. This is the worst. Nothing the like to here.

Siamese Dream

The Smashing Pumpkins

5/5

Great album. It has defined my youth as a young listener. The album goes back in memory lane, ofcourse with the likeable hits ike Disarm and Today. The vulnerable lyrics combined the guitar work and the symphonic complexity make it great.

Out Of The Blue

Electric Light Orchestra

4/5

I really dig the happy egg vibe that ELO creates in this album. Love songs, heartbreak and finding happiness. Technically I like the orchestral arrangements blended in rock. I bought the album in my youth because of Mr. Blue Sky and i wore it out.

Parachutes

Coldplay

3/5

I certainly love the debuut of Coldplay, but i have a complicated relationship with it. The individual songs are beautiful - Chris Martin's vulnerable vocals surely do touch. Yellow will always be special. That said, I cannot listen to the entire extend of the album in one sitting. Perhaps the consistent melancholy. I tune out, or I get this sad depressed feeling. It's almost too effective at projecting those elements of vulnerability.

Nothing's Shocking

Jane's Addiction

2/5

Not for me.

Tanto Tempo

Bebel Gilberto

5/5

Siembra

Willie Colón & Rubén Blades

4/5

Slipknot

2/5

Yes. Wait and bleed. And then there's that.

Ramones

4/5

Punk rock classic.Blitzkrieg Bop and Judy Is a Punk burst with simplicity and attitude. It’s the roots of later punk bands, yet I crave the refinements the later generation bands added.

Tidal

Fiona Apple

4/5

Mothership Connection

Parliament

4/5

Vol. 4

Black Sabbath

4/5

American Idiot

Green Day

5/5

This is one of the greatest albums ever, for me. I Love the double storylines in the album. The clasic coming-of-age story and the society criticism. Could really connect to it as a youngling: crying along to Boulevard of Broken Dreams and feeling the devastasing loss of young love in Whatsername.

British Steel

Judas Priest

4/5

Iconic rifs and vocals. Love it

The Marshall Mathers LP

Eminem

5/5

Wow. I’ve listened to this album for hours and hours back when I was 14-15 I loved the explicit lyrics, I loved the whole vibe. The Marshall Mathers LP felt raw, rebellious, and unlike anything else at the time.

The Hour Of Bewilderbeast

Badly Drawn Boy

4/5

Yes! I had forgotten this album. Great hear

Dummy

Portishead

2/5

5/5

wow. This sounds amazing. A Big band with pure direction.

Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea

4/5

This one has me hooked, great talent. I've heard her songs, but never connected to them. I like that the album had a good constrast and feels pure.

A Rush Of Blood To The Head

Coldplay

5/5

This brings back great memories, Clocks, In My Place, The Scientist... all bangers! I remember the first time I heard Clocks: early morning around 05:30 am on 3FM while doing my paper route as a teenager. Giel played it as a promo before the album dropped. Love at first hearing

Oedipus Schmoedipus

Barry Adamson

4/5

A ride of brilliance of weird music mixing together. Feels like you're into a movie, but your're not. And yet..

Group Sex

Circle Jerks

3/5

Punk from the first second. Short bursts of energy, like rapid fire that lands a punchline. GO!

I Never Loved a Man the Way I Love You

Aretha Franklin

4/5

Hard to judge objectively when it's this praised. But stripping away the hype and hearing it in 1967 context, this is exceptional.

Boston

5/5

Master Of Puppets

Metallica

3/5

Respect the craft, the complexity, tempo changes, and intricate riffs. But honestly, too much shifting for my taste. Not for me.

They Were Wrong, So We Drowned

Liars

2/5

This one made me deeply uneasy. I'll remember it when I have to bust ghosts out of my house..

Kate Bush

iconic sound. Pure and raw Rock.

Beggars Banquet

The Rolling Stones

3/5

I can hear the class, probably a masterpiece for blues-rock lovers. Not for me. Altough I did enjoy it

Sail Away

Randy Newman

2/5

Hit and miss. The tunes are good, lyrics cynically clever, his voice like a turtle with a cold.

Otis Blue/Otis Redding Sings Soul

Otis Redding

3/5

He owns it, solid hits, great sound, great voice. But it plays as one long piece. Maybe it needs more listens than I had time for.

Headquarters

The Monkees

2/5

All that fighting for creative control, and this is what they made? Boring folk-rock. The story's better than the album.

Straight Outta Compton

N.W.A.

4/5

Funky beats, shocking lyrics. The content aged poorly, but the talent is undeniable. This album changed hip-hop forever.

Parsley, Sage, Rosemary And Thyme

Simon & Garfunkel

2/5

Nice tunes that feel flat, lacks bite. Works better as background in a playlist than a standalone album.

Smash

The Offspring

4/5

I never really was an Offspring guy. It's fast, catchy, fun, but too formulaic. Great hits though, but the rest is album filler imho.

Superunknown
