Master Of Puppets

Metallica

5/5

Hell yeah. Love me some 80s Metallica. I'm a sucker for thrash anyways.

I Want To See The Bright Lights Tonight

Richard Thompson

3/5

I loved the title track. Vocals are nice. The album is a bit down tempo and too sad for my taste. Luckily I listened to it during a night trip and was gonna feel daunted and depressed in the morning anyways.

Pink Flag

Wire

4/5

Pre-punk? Punk-rock? Nice. Love the album cover.

I See You

3/5

Most recent album I'm gonna listen in this list. A bit excited. Well, it was pretty average.

5/5

First time listening. Cooool. Punksy rocksy sometimes jazzy synth fun. I guess it's fair to say ahead of its time. I checked the reviews and learned that this is post punk and I love the genre without knowing it.

Parachutes

Coldplay

1/5

Hiçbir şarkıyı sonuna kadar dinleyemedim sabredip. Spies şarkısı 9 yaşında bi çocuk tarafından yazılmış diye düşünüyorum. Çok zordu, bi daha sakın dinlemeyeyim.

Deja Vu

Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young

4/5

Carry on, deja vu

Zombie

Fela Kuti

5/5

Zombie çoh iyi. Şarkılar uzun ama anlamıyorsun 15 dk olduğunu; değişiyo dönüşüyo, hojdır.

Tapestry

Carole King

2/5

I feel the earthle çok iyi başladık. Sonra mıymıy. You've got a friend güzel hoş evet biliyoruz ama Melike Demirağ - arkadaş bin basar. Where you lead'in melodisi güzel ama sözler ezik. No, I won't love you tomorrow. Smackwater jack seveceğim bir şarkı değil ama albümün ortasında insana bi enerji verdiği için bu ritim değişimi hoşuma gitti. Bu albüm genel olarak beni çağır, peşinden koşarım, her zaman yanındayım temasıyla beni baydı. Hippiliği kapatan albümlerden biri bu galiba. Ablanın sesini de sevdim aslında ama olmuyor olmuyor.

Court And Spark

Joni Mitchell

4/5

Albüm kapağı hoşuma gitti. Joni Mitchelldan umutluyum. Lyriclerini çok sevdim. Benim için bi tık down tempo ama sıkılmadım. Böyle fikri hür, vicdanı hür folkçulara can kurban.

Superfly

Curtis Mayfield

4/5

Yes to politically conscious funk

Ramones

3/5

-1: too repetitive -1: I am old

Reggatta De Blanc

The Police

3/5

Every song has its own vibe? Some are punky, some are reggae -like...but in a not-well-connected way. I didn't like the white washed reggae. Confused would be my word of choice for this album. Positive side: it was not boring.

Shleep

Robert Wyatt

2/5

Album starts with a pretty normal and average track and then omg, probably the most pretentious and ugly "rock" song I've ever heard. So that 3rd song seems "normal" (but it isn't). 4th track is tolerable. "Free will and testament" is my favourite track, lyrics are truly good imo. The rest is some words and melodies interacting in some artsy ways I cannot understand. I feel like this album would be much better if it was instrumental.

Exile On Main Street

The Rolling Stones

3/5

Great band, yes I know, but the album is pretty mediocre imo.

Will The Circle Be Unbroken

Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

1/5

This is a 2 hours long horse riding lesson.

American IV: The Man Comes Around

Johnny Cash

4/5

Good mix of folk, rock, country and existential crisis.

In A Silent Way

Miles Davis

4/5

Triangle

The Beau Brummels

2/5

Impressively good record/sound for 60s. Not my style unfortunately.

The College Dropout

Kanye West

1/5

No thx. I deal with enough bigots in my daily life.

Songs From A Room

Leonard Cohen

4/5

It's poetry, some of them are songs.

The Stranger

Billy Joel

4/5

I wasn't expecting to enjoy this album that much. One negative thing is it being too American. The other is lyrics. I mean they are good, but yesterday's album was a Leonard Cohen. So, you know...

Master Of Puppets

Metallica

5/5

Hell yeah. Love me some 80s Metallica. I'm a sucker for thrash anyways.

Boston

2/5

Something is missing?

Amnesiac

Radiohead

4/5

I Never Loved a Man the Way I Love You

Aretha Franklin

5/5

Not perfect, but it's the queen.

The Modern Lovers

3/5

Felt like I'm in the studio with my friend's high school band

Golden Hour

Kacey Musgraves

1/5

Mediocre. There are thousands of musicians singing similar songs and nothing stands out.

Better Living Through Chemistry

Fatboy Slim

5/5

Fun and simple. Maybe not ideal for morning commute, but works in the evening. Im gonna give 5 because throwing a party at Brighton beach is an unmatched vibe, respect.

This Year's Model

Elvis Costello & The Attractions

4/5

I wouldn't guess 1978 as release date, the sound feels recent. 3.5->4

I Want To See The Bright Lights Tonight

Richard Thompson

3/5

Fear Of A Black Planet

Public Enemy

4/5

I appreciate the funk in hip hop. Im not a daily rap listener, so this was a little tiring. No other complaints.

The Band

2/5

Is it country? Is it rock? Is it folk? Does it matter? What really matters? Not this album, not to me.

My Aim Is True

Elvis Costello

2/5

His aim is low

NEU! 75

Neu!

2/5

Background noise? Nothing important. It's chill except 4th song. I really cannot grasp what happened there.

Crime Of The Century

Supertramp

4/5

Too much and not enough at the same time. But I'll give it a 4, it's was intriguing.

The White Album

Beatles

4/5

Hunting High And Low

a-ha

4/5

The rhythm of the album is a bit problematic imo, tracks should be sorted differently. Still, it was nice to listen

Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere

Neil Young & Crazy Horse

2/5

I read the title as everybody knows this is nonsense.

Time Out Of Mind

Bob Dylan

4/5

Boheme dive bar vibes. I guess I never listened Dylan's late works (after 80s): his voice cracked and all but he still got it.

Arthur (Or the Decline and Fall of the British Empire)

The Kinks

4/5

My first time listening this band. I find their quirk intriguing.

Reign In Blood

Slayer

3/5

This album single handedly proved that I'm no longer young. Thanks for that.

Joan Armatrading

5/5

Glad I got to discover her.

Mask

Bauhaus

4/5

Is this really goth? More like EDM rock. Somehow enjoyed it. Maybe because Peter Murphy is my homeboy(Ankara:).

The Number Of The Beast

Iron Maiden

4/5

I don't think lyrics game is strong here... Run to the hills is my favourite.

Bryter Layter

Nick Drake

3/5

Depression sleep fusion folk

Something/Anything?

Todd Rundgren

3/5

Album art and title catched my fancy. If I had to explain this album with one word it would be "diverse". But you see, diversity doesn't have a positive connotation in our case. I couldn't wait most songs to end and I listened a few songs multiple times.

Kick Out The Jams (Live)

MC5

2/5

I admire the birth of punk, but I do not enjoy it unfortunately.

It's Blitz!

Yeah Yeah Yeahs

4/5

It was nice to listen something "new".

Green

R.E.M.

5/5

I don't know if it's a 5 musically, but I felt very connected in a way. Needed this, I guess.

Deep Purple In Rock

Deep Purple

5/5

Wow. I didn't know Deep Purple was so... heavy. Enjoyed every bit.

The Rolling Stones

2/5

If it didn't say Rolling Stones, I wouldn't guess. Retrospectively, it is kinda important to band's history. But I don't understand why it hyped so much when released. I guess it was the first time white boys played black music well enough.

Whatever

Aimee Mann

3/5

Not exceptionally bad or good. Didn't get bored, didn't enjoy much. I never heard of her before, so that was nice.

Nevermind

Nirvana

5/5

Makes me wanna dance awkwardly, still. This album always made me felt anxious and careless at the same time.

Rust In Peace

Megadeth

5/5

Megadeth is the band made me think I would be a metalhead all my life. Well I'm not anymore but they are still one of my favourites and this album is easily in my top 10.

Fifth Dimension

The Byrds

3/5

Maybe not in 60s but ordinary today

Fever Ray

4/5

Odd enough. Sometimes vocals irritate me sometimes I love it.

Led Zeppelin III

Led Zeppelin

5/5

Music of all times and all kinds.

Lady Soul

Aretha Franklin

5/5

Just

Untitled (Black Is)

SAULT

3/5

I get that expressions change with language and culture but some songs of this album are too boring. Others are enjoyable.

B-52's

The B-52's

4/5

Well, Spotify opens a two song album but when I read the reviews I realized there should have been more songs... My first time listening the band and it was fun and a bit chaotic in a good way.

Real Life

Magazine

5/5

Natty Dread

Bob Marley & The Wailers

4/5

This feels like I am at a peaceful protest, dancing and chanting. Live versions are always so much better; Bob Marley is an amazing performer.

The Real Thing

Faith No More

3/5

I bet this made people "woah" in 1989. I always have respect for pioneers even I don't like them. This album is energetic and interesting but tries too hard that it becomes cringe at some points.

Since I Left You

The Avalanches

3/5

Some songs are wow, some are repetitive and boring. Depending on my mood I might enjoy listening or get irritated.

Walking Wounded

Everything But The Girl

3/5

Melodies/beats are too "crowded" at times, it's overwhelming.

Tracy Chapman

5/5

Incredible voice. Breaks my heart because topics she sings about didn't change.

Hot Buttered Soul

Isaac Hayes

4/5

Scott 4

Scott Walker

1/5

Lyrics have so much emotion but I can't hear it in his voice. Dull.

Don't Stand Me Down

Dexys Midnight Runners

1/5

Vocals (or talking) almost drove me mad.

Pink Flag

Wire

4/5

Pre-punk? Punk-rock? Nice. Love the album cover.

Dirt

Alice In Chains

5/5

I don't know if it has to be this depressing, but then I think about bands like iron maiden and their themes and... yeah I prefer darkness, ok. Down in a hole is a long time favourite.

Straight Outta Compton

N.W.A.

3/5

Misogyny, homophobia, violence in one hand; anger, opression, resistance on the other. I felt uncomfortable listening some of the lyrics.

Hunky Dory

David Bowie

5/5

Elvis Presley

3/5

(rockn roll * white + 0.5 * country)/2 Love his vocals though

I See You

The xx

3/5

Most recent album I'm gonna listen in this list. A bit excited. Well, it was pretty average.

Songs For Swingin' Lovers!

Frank Sinatra

3/5

This record is fine and I like Sinatra but listening to similar songs consecutively is not my thing. Apparently I'm not a swingin lover.

Heroes

David Bowie

4/5

Slayed?

Slade

3/5

Actually rocks hard but doesn't have any charm. If you walk and think where's your life going, it might be a nice background sound.

Back to Basics

Christina Aguilera

3/5

Love her vocals. But I don't understand why this album is here. To be fair, half of the albums here doesn't make sense. Anyway, she still dirrty.

Metallica

4/5

Starts very strong and goes down from there, especially second half. But first half worth it.

The Contino Sessions

Death In Vegas

3/5

Automatic For The People

R.E.M.

4/5

Everybody hurts is one of my favourite songs. Find the river is another good one. A little too depressive overall, but aren't we all?

The Clash

4/5

Clean punk. Refreshing.
