Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not
Arctic Monkeys
Arrangements are cool. Music is good. But in general? It kind of bored me, maybe it's design to be a slow burn...but in general, I think it's kind of pale. Good, but not great, and not for me (between 3.5/5 to 4/5, I would say).

Good old classic blues rock, not the best of it's kind. It's neither good nor bad. There're are some good basslines and arrangements. Decent, but to be fair, it doesn't age well. However, I'm kind of into this genre so I'd give it a 3 for personal bias.

Nothing's Shocking
Jane's Addiction
Quite conventional? There are variations, but it's not experimental/messy enough. Like the album title, there's nothing shocking (a disappointment). I like the instruments and I think I enjoy the latter half more. The album cover, however, is one of the worst of all time. I doubt whether I will come back to it often. I feel like it's a exact 3.5/5, but the website won't rate decimals so I'll say 3/5 because on a second thought, I don't favor the vocals much.

Too much synthesizer sound...I'm not a fan to those stuffs. But the arrangements are interesting. Quite Experimental. Honestly, I don't know what they're doing for half of the time, almost like a troll but I like it, I enjoy the unpredictability. And its so chaotic and 1980s horror picture show vibe, I love it! Isn't the 3rd track come from a Led Zeppelin song, How Many More Times? I recognize the bassline...? Other than that I think it's a close 4/5! I had a lot fun with this album.

Neil Young is always one of my favorate songwriters. His lyrics are poetic, and his music makes me feel, how to say...calm? A sense of serenity. It's not complicated or rushing, has no intention to arouse your excitement, he just pace steadily, and that brings some kind of integrity. On The Beach is not my favorate album, but it's still an esay 5/5. See The Sky About To Rain is one of the best.

I only listen to The Verve casually, that is to say, I only know their greatet hits. This album is good, I never know that Bitter Sweet Symphony is the opening to this album. That song can go down in history (songs are overplayed for a reason). Classic britpop sound, if you love britpop you're probably gonna love this one, remind me of Oasis a couple of times. Not that much of a fresh air though. I personally will give it a vague 4-5, I'm hesitant in giving it a 5, so let's make it a 4. My favorite is Weeping Willow.

My Bloody Valentine, a name you will almost definetly recongnise as long as you listen to shoegaze or indie rock. I woudn't say they are my favorite shoegaze band but you gotta admit that they are creative and skillful. This album is not their best, not so melodic, not so well structured, more noisy and primitive. I like noise rock, it's a pleasure listening to this and oh dear it gets better. Personally? It would be nicer if there were less vocal to make more room for instrumentation, but anyways, it deserve a decent 4.5. I feel like I want to leave some space for loveless so 4 maybe. In real it's definitely above 4 though.

I love other songs in this album too, especially the strings, and that classic nostalgic 60s sounding is beyound satisfying, Seven Seas Symphony is huge.

Not as great as Goo and Daydream Nation, yes, but this one should still be somewhere close to 4.5/5 and that's not an accurate description for in reality it's not a 4.5/5 thing-y. It's more like a "depend on my mood I would either give it a 5 or a 4" kind of stuff.

This OMG, THIS I‘m SPEECHLESS. Abbey Road, YES, is a pure masterpiece, GODLIKE, and iconic. I remember hearing this album for the first time, and I was like a deaf person first hears sounds. This is 10/5, unarguably 10/5, 11/5 even, if they put The End to the end. Words can't describe how I love this album and The Beatles. Calling them The Greatest Band is still an underestimate. Every track in this album is flawless; EVERY TRACK is classic.
This album has EVERYTHING. "Come Together" is one beautiful opening. "Something" is so satisfying — I adore George very much. "Maxwell's Silver Hammer" and "Octopus's Garden" are quirky and funny. Songs like "Oh! Darlin" and "I Want You (She's So Heavy)" are wonderful rock ballads. If you are looking for good Psychedelic Rock, tracks like "Sun King" are gracefully done (I still miss John Lennon.jpg). "Because" is so beautiful, and "You Never Give Me Your Money" can be one of my favourites. "Golden Slumbers" Suit is Paul's most remarkable work, I would cry 100 times along with this tune. Don't forget "Here Comes The Sun"; this one literally saved my life. I don't need to say nothing no more.
I will love The Beatles til the end of my life. And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make. Peace and love. Peace and Love✌😎✌.

A Night At The Opera
Queen
Let's take time to talk about this masterpiece because I'm literally crying. I'm not here to stress its historical significance or artistic achievements, but I'm speaking for myself. This album is so important to me emotionally because it was the very first rock album I've ever listened to (and the very first record I own), and it opened a whole new world to me. I used to think rock music was just loud, annoying noises, and I really did not care much about musicality- until this. This album is just so beautiful and thoughtful; I can hardly describe the astonishment I felt when I first listened to it; all I can responsibly say is that if it were not for Queen, I wouldn't be here on this website. I won't have the desire to study or even really "listen" to music. This album is one of those things that changed my life. Queen is one of those things that changed my life. It means everything to me—a complete 10/5. Years pass, and I still love this; I still love them.
Also, weirdly enough, my favourite tracks are "'39" and "The Prophet's Song". I cry over "Love of My Life" every time.

I don't really listen to Pulp, actually. I mean, I've heard of them. I know they are called "Britspop," and I may have heard some of their tracks, but I haven't checked their discography, ever. This album is enjoyable, very modern, and very late 80s and 90s. Every sound of it reminds me of that era, from different aspects, obviously, so I guess you can say they are versatile. A worthy 4/5. “Dishes” and "This Is Hardcore" are terrific.

Not Bad. Chilling. Pleasing to the ear. Just some folk songwriters minding their own business.3-3.5/5.

Still not a fan for live albums. Besides, I'm a bit sick of traditional power pop and arena rock now, yes, they maybe good, but I'm really tired of hearing those sounds. Just I want to hear well crafted art not passion. A 2.5 really, they maybe good and they are definitely killers at live but well...not for me, not for me.

Morrissey
Well, Morrissey is...Morrissey. I can't pretend I don't like his writings because his an absolutely awful person. Surely the musicality is not the same without Johnny...but his lyric writing is still so impressive and moving(political view aside, talking about literariness here). Oh I love his insights and when he's miserable...An exact 3.5/5 for personal bias, this is surely not my favorite Morrissey album, and I don't like his personality so I'll give it a 3. but well...Guilty Pleasure is guilty please for a reason.

First thing first, I like the cover. Second.thing, this album didn't leave me any impression apart from the music is not bad and it kind of sounds like New Order? I guess.
Re-listened. Oh dear, my fault, this is interesting and amazing, and it keeps getting better! And it still kind of sounds like New Order I won't apologize. I think my favorite is "Halo". Above 4, absolutely, 4.5/5!

A bit cliche for a 1986 album isn't it? Thought it was released in the 60s. Phoney Beatlemania...

Well...I love punk post-punk don't get me wrong. This is surely iconic and unique but this is well...probably one of the least favorite album of the whole genre to me. Very unique but like...the intolerable way...

Insane. Oh dear I love "Peephole", the polka elements and metal/core/whatever elements melt so well. And from that song, everything just gets better. 4.5/5.

Oh, jazzy and delightful, I like it. The sound brings back some 70s nostalgia; the vocal is...well...singing. Glam rock. Sounds Queen-ish, sounds from Rocky Horror Picture Show, but I guess that's just how every glam rock in the 70s sounds like. I don't mean to compare bands with bands, but you have to admit that not everyone can sing like Freddie. I can enjoy it, but I don't see why it's on the top 1001. It's like a 2-2.5/5 album to me. Also, the lyrics are boring; you have to be musically as good as Led Zeppelin to get away with those lyrics, sir.

The first track is quite experimental, the minimalism style. The rests are also pretty fun, "Les Yper-Sound" has quite a few interesting lyrics (others as well).
It's overall enjoyable especially when you're bored and really want to dive into music. I'd give it a 3.5/5, a bit higher, probably.

It's weird because I don't like this. The arrangements are too harsh, especially the drums and perhaps the tempo and even the violin!!! Too fast, too loud, too annoying, a bit plain. It's just weird to picture Paul Simon with this kind of style, probably because I've listened to too many Simon&Garfunkel.
Melodies are beautiful as usual, The lyrics aren't bad (folk rock after all, I value lyricism). An overall 2.5/5. My favorite tracks are "Duncan" and "Peace Like a River".

No, sorry. This is too bad. I hate this. Urrrrrr, some of this is not that bad, but it's overall just weird in a bad sense. And the sound is not very pleasing. It's probably a 1.5/5.

This is my favorite Pink Floyd album and probably the only one that I still love now. It is truly a perfection. I don't need to say anything else, straight to 5/5.

First of all, I love this. You can tell this is prog rock, yet the sound is very classic, especially the guitar tone and techniques they used, very 80s hard rock/metal. However, they managed to create a somewhat innovative and unconventional structure—at least a 4/5."Limelight" is beautiful.

Never liked The Rolling Stones tbh. I'm sure they're rock icons but for the most of time their music is just simple unstandable to me...I can see their influence on so called pop-rock easily I mean when you-never heard rock once-pictured what it's like to sound "rocky" it's the sound of Let It Bleed. However I really don't like them.

I actually quite like this. There are interesting soundings and alter vibes. I really love the whole Glam-Racket,the drum and the bass are very grunge like, Very pretty. It's a decent 3.5/5 to me.
