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.
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.
Messy and energetic, I love it. Finished the first track and it's already 4/5. Very thrashy, very lo-fi. Classic punk sound. I always find this kind of music enjoyable. Definitely 4/5, maybe even higher.
I don't usually listen to this kind of music maybe it's normal for this genre but I do think some songs are draging for too long...
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.
First time listening, I actually like this? I don't know how to describe...is decent a good term? I don't want to use the word average because there are some diversities and a couple of "oh that's kind of cool" moments at least...plus it's close to the music I enjoy and listen everyday...so Around 4/5?
It's 70s rock, no more, no less. I'm not a fan of live albums so this just sounds classic 70s rock to me. Good classic rock, i'm just a bit tired of this sound.
Wow rock anime...This is weird and unhinge and I love this. Giving me science fiction vibe! The only promblem is that there are too many synthesizer sounds...I'm really not a fan for that. But it is unique, it has many fresh sounds. A cool album. Between 3.5/5 and 4/5 i'd say. With fewer sythesizer noises it's definitely above 4.
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.
Well produced music...not really my type though....It's good, but definitely not that great? I feel like there could be one of this kind of album every year or two...? Not unique, if I may say. A decent 3/5. I like the bass groove in Mad. Also the interludes are more interesting than the music itself.
The first few tracks are good, but songs in the middle seems to be a bit dull as no exciting changes in music happened, then in Petit Metier music begins to become more interseting again. I appreciate the unique sound it brings but I can't deny that it's a bit homogeneous somehow. I do like the music though, probably a 3/5-3.5/5.
Cheerful classic pop rock, I enjoyed it. But its emm ordinary.
Sigur Rós OH MY GOD one of my favorite post rock bands. They are so good, just, so good. Nothing else need to be said. I admire how they keep everything so light and delicate, almost fragile, and oh dear that melancholy, that nolstalgia, what an old friend. It's the sound of forest and ocean nights and sweet annihilation. and it's just so beautiful...5/5, 10/10.
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.
What is this? I kind of like the messy instrumental part but the vocal, um... what exactly is this? I can stand it but I won't say I like it. 2.5/5.
The album structure is good, very coherent, I like when songs in an album are connected in a certain way, whether musically or conceptually. Lyrics are well thought of but not my favorite (a euphemism for I find it cliche and corny). Instrumentation is fabulous, some of the vocals? Or should I call it harmonies or effects, however, are sometimes cringe...? Overall it's probably 3.5-4，close to 4.
Oh here comes a controversy one. I love Odessa so much it's like one of my all thime favorite track from Bee Gees (I'm not a fan for disco, obviously). It kind of transfers me to another time and space, like a spiritual journey on titanic or whatever the ship is. 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. I love this one and I even think it deserves a 5/5.
Very thoughtful, the instrumental arrangements are intruiging, I do love the combinationg of the german military music elements and folk songs in this one. The structure is more like musical theater than pop music album? The songs are often too short to be a song but rather a fragment or a motif. 2.5-3, I didn't enjoy it much musically but I appreciate the concept.
Entertaining but just not my thing. Songs get boring over time because it's just, pop. Nothing unique caught my ear or aroused my interest. 3-3.5.
Great lyricism is everything. Not my favorite Bob Dylan album but his average lyrics are still better than most other songwriters. 4.5/5.
melodies are catchy and sweet, but it's otherwise a bit dull. I enjoyed it.
Yeah, Blood Sugar Sex Magik is great. I bet every bassist has this Red Hot Chili Peppers phrase, or whatever you call it. You know, funk rock is not typically my thing, but I can't think of a reason not to show some respect to this one band and album. I'm not here for any other thing than the basslines anyway. 3.5-4/5
This album is so cool! I never heard it before but it's WILD! I'm specially fond of music with such characreistics, unorganised, without formal structures. I don't know what's goning on but it's such a fun ride! Straight to 4/5.
Cheerful in vain, some feet tapping happend but end up being nothing unusual. And their drum is really not my favorite, both sounds and arrangments. maybe a 2.5...Butter The Soul is fun because of the scratching and sitar (is it sitar? i don't really know) sounds. Honestly, the only good thing in this album is the sitar and dholki and those indian features, but the singing and electronic arrangments kind of ruined them. I didn't enjoy it for the most of time so screw it, let's give it a 2.
Oh, I love this one. Fierce and aggressive, unpredictable changes with experimental sound and structures. So noisy and chaotic! This is exactly what I signed up for! I would give a 3.5/5 exactly on this one. It's not so nice sounding but weird and fun!
This album is everything that I love. Fast and aggressive sounds, a bit messy, a bit noisy. Love the guitar, love the vocal, love the effect and the arrangement. Love everything. 5/5.
I've never listened to this album before and i only know King Crimson for their most well known album. Lucky for me to find this one! It's very enjoyable and interesting, always progressing and ploting and metamorphosing. A very satisfying journey, I think I can sit here all afternoon listening to this on the loop. Definitely above 4, like, a solid 4.5 and above.
Proto punk yes let's gooooo. James Williamson's guitar, oh that sheer power and aggression, and Iggy's voice, that rawness, wow. I'm quite speechless in face of this album, such a fresh breath of air, so lively yet so painful. A perfect creation. Tis is punk. I love punk. I'm giving it a 5/5, for personal bias, you know, personal bias.
