Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan - Devotional Songs Honestly, Qawwali isn't really my thing, I don't really listen to religious songs, specially to those who are not from my beliefs, but instead of using that as an excuse to not listen to this album, I just went for it and listen it for what it is, and I ended up liking this album WAY more than I initially thought so. 6 songs, but all of them surpass 7 minutes of time length, this album offers the catchiest tunes you could listen to, the instrumentals and the harmonies go hand in hand beautifully and the choruses make you want to dance and groove on the song. In my case, I don't speak arabic, so I don't know the lyrics that he's singing, but I still enjoyed it nonetheless, this is great! 1.- Allah Hoo Allah Hoo = 9/10 2.- Yaad-E-Nabi Gulshan Mehka = 7/10 3.- Haq Ali Ali Haq = 8/10 4.- Ali Maula Ali Maula Ali Dam Dam = 9/10 5.- Mast Nazroon Se Allah Bacchae = 7/10 6.- Ni Main Jogi De Naal = 8/10 FINAL SCORE: 8/10

COAT OF MANY COLORS by Dolly Parton First album I listened from this list, and it's the first country album I listened fully! In just 27 minutes with only 10 tracks, honestly it sounds pretty decent. Sure, it sounds like any other typical country album, but it's the way that Dolly does it that I can't even explain, but to say "yo, this shit ain't that bad". The lyrics there do go hard, like the second one had a CRAZY twist, and the sixth one just made me wanna cry (canon event). Will I revisit this album again? I don't know, but for this to be the first album, I'm off to a decent start, time to listen to another 999 albums left to hear!!! ._. 1.- Coat Of Many Colors = 8/10 2.- Traveling Man = 5/10 3.- My Blue Tears = 6/10 4.- If I Lose My Mind = 7/10 5.- The Mystery Of The Mystery = 5/10 6.- She Never Met A Man (She Didn't Like) = 7/10 7.- Early Morning Breeze = 7/10 8.- The Way I See You = 8/10 9.- Here I Am = 8/10 10.- A Better Place To Live = 8/10 FINAL SCORE = 6.9/10

Metallica - ...And Justice For All Wow! This is my first metal album that I've ever heard, and also my introduction to Metallica, never expected to enjoy it. This album is PACKED with bangers, and that's saying something since "apparently" Metallica has made better albums than even this one, which is already amazing in itself. There are moments on this album where you just listen and feel it in your soul (I almost shed a tear when listening to "To Live is To Die" ;) ) this is great!! 1.- Blackened = 8/10 2.- ...And Justice for All = 9/10 3.- Eye of the Beholder = 9/10 4.- One = 10/10 5.- The Shortest Straw = 8/10 6.- Harvester of Sorrow = 9/10 7.- The Frayed Ends of Sanity = 9/10 8.- To Live is To Die = 10/10 9.- Dyers Eve = 9/10 FINAL SCORE: 9

Queen - Queen II WOW! What an album this was! Definitely a BIG improvement from the previous album I heard (Dolly Parton). Never expected this album to go so hard, from the intro going to Father To Son, to the incredible riffs that went on songs like Some Day One Day, Ogre Battle and (the infamous) The March Of The Black Queen. Father To Son instantly became my favorite song on the album alongside The March Of The Black Queen and the last song, Seven Seas Of Rhye. Now THAT'S how you end an album that sounds as ambitious and hungry as this. This is incredible, and apparently it's not even their best album. I wonder what type of stuff they be cooking, but ngl, they DO be cookin fr ong. 1.- Procession = 7/10 2.- Father To Son = 10/10! 3.- White Queen (As It Began) = 9/10 4.- Some Day One Day = 9/10 5.- The Loser In The End = 8/10 6.- Ogre Battle = 9/10 7.- The Fairy Feller's Master-Stroke = 8/10 8.- Nevermore = 7/10 9.- The March Of The Black Queen = 10/10 10.- Funny How Love Is = 8/10 11.- Seven Seas Of Rhye = 10/10 FINAL SCORE: 8.6

Stan Getz & Joao Gilberto - Getz/Gilberto WOW! Somehow, coming from a very chill album, this might be my new favorite type of music, dude bossa nova goes hard af. From the iconic first track, to the other ones that sound like classics, I might actually come back and listen to this album, because it sounds different and I actually enjoyed listening to it. This is some feel good type of music, every time you feel depressed, you listen to one of these, and it instantly restores your faith in life, this is happy music, like the true definition of it. Calm and relaxed, buy joyful, colorful and full of symphonies and beautiful melodies that make my ears go numb, this is amazing. 1.- The Girl From Ipanema = 10/10 2.- Doralice = 8/10 3.- Para Machuchar Meu Coracao = 10/10 4.- Desafinado = 9/10 5.- Corcovado (Quiet Nights of Quiet Stars) = 10/10 6.- Só Danco Samba = 9/10 7.- O Grande Amor = 10/10 8.- Vivo Sonhando = 9/10 FINAL SCORE: 9.4

Dusty Springfield - Dusty in Memphis This is a very good album that has it's themes of heartbreak and love-pursuing. Even does there's the popular song "Son of a Preacher Man" on there, there are better songs than even that one itself, specially "The Windmills of Your Mind". Almost every song here has some of the best song-writing to offer in that decade, it sounds orchestral in a way. Very organized, nice and gentle, with a punch of harmonies going on every song. You can tell this album was made with huge respect towards music. 1.- Just A Little Lovin' = 8/10 2.- So Much Love = 8/10 3.- Son of a Preacher Man = 7/10 4.- I Don't Want to Hear It Anymore = 8/10 5.- Don't Forget About Me = 7/10 6.- Breakfast in Bed = 8/10 7.- Just One Smile = 8/10 8.- The Windmills of Your Mind = 9/10 9.- In the Land of Make Believe = 7/10 10.- No Easy Way Down = 8/10 11.- I Can't Make It Alone = 8/10 FINAL SCORE = 7.8/10

Alanis Morissette - Jagged Little Pill This album is the epitome of being heartbroken. I heard about this album before but never really took the chance to listen through it until now, it caught me off guard, because it really has that "don't judge a book by it's cover" vibe. I expected it to sound like an average"pop" album from the 90's, but in the end, I underestimated how catchy and good it sounds, especially with the riffs and melodies that it has to offer. Almost every song here is a highlight, that's how good it is. Words can't even describe how amazing this album is, specially to those who went through what the album is talking about. 1.- All I Really Want = 9/10 2.- You Oughta Know = 10/10 3.- Perfect = 8/10 4.- Hand In My Pocket = 9/10 5.- Right Through You = 10/10 6.- Forgiven = 10/10 7.- You Learn = 9/10 8.- Head Over Feet = 10/10 9.- Mary Jane = 8/10 10.- Ironic = 10/10 11.- Not The Doctor = 8/10 12.- Wake Up = 9/10 FINAL SCORE = 9.1/10

William Orbit - Strange Cargo III This is the first time I hear from this artist and honestly, I expected a lot more from it, specially with the album cover, which looked very promising. However, some of these songs are good and decent at least, the album itself isn't really mediocre, it's just that it's not really my type of music. Listen, I do like ambient music (don't get me wrong), but I have heard better ambient music than this to be honest, but I don't know, that's just me. Give it a listen, but beware, the first listen from this album will be... interesting to say at least. 1.- Water From A Vine Leaf = 7/10 2.- Into The Paradise = 6/10 3.- Time To Get Wize = 5/10 4.- Harry Flowers = 6/10 5.- A Touch Of The Night = 5/10 6.- The Story Of Light = 7/10 7.- Gringatcho Demento = 5/10 8.- A Hazy Shade Of Random = 6/10 9.- Best Friend, Paranoia = 5/10 10.- The Monkey King = 4/10 11.- Deus Ex Machina = 4/10 12.- Water Babies = 6/10 FINAL SCORE = 66/120

Bob Marley & The Wailers - Catch A Fire This album is a banger! So many good songs packed into one cohesive project, no filler, just straight reggae classics. This is the first reggae album I've heard, and honestly this might be my favorite genre. What I like about Bob Marley here is mostly the song-writing that he does, it's really passionate the way he sings and talks about multiple topics all into one. I'll definit revisit this album again some day, it's that good! 1.- Concrete Jungle = 9/10 2.- Slave Driver = 9/10 3.- 400 Years = 9/10 4.- Stop That Train = 9/10 5.- Baby We've Got a Date (Rock It Baby) = 8/10 6.- Stir It Up = 10/10 7.- Kinky Reggae = 8/10 8.- No More Trouble = 8/10 9.- Midnight Ravers = 9/10 FINAL SCORE = 8.8/10

Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan - Devotional Songs Honestly, Qawwali isn't really my thing, I don't really listen to religious songs, specially to those who are not from my beliefs, but instead of using that as an excuse to not listen to this album, I just went for it and listen it for what it is, and I ended up liking this album WAY more than I initially thought so. 6 songs, but all of them surpass 7 minutes of time length, this album offers the catchiest tunes you could listen to, the instrumentals and the harmonies go hand in hand beautifully and the choruses make you want to dance and groove on the song. In my case, I don't speak arabic, so I don't know the lyrics that he's singing, but I still enjoyed it nonetheless, this is great! 1.- Allah Hoo Allah Hoo = 9/10 2.- Yaad-E-Nabi Gulshan Mehka = 7/10 3.- Haq Ali Ali Haq = 8/10 4.- Ali Maula Ali Maula Ali Dam Dam = 9/10 5.- Mast Nazroon Se Allah Bacchae = 7/10 6.- Ni Main Jogi De Naal = 8/10 FINAL SCORE: 8/10

Fairport Convention - Liege And Lief Ok, this is a decent album. Coming from the 60's, Fairport Convention offers a folk-rock type album, where it has it's chill and catchy elements into it. The highs are not noticeable, but fortunately the lows on this album aren't as bad as it is. To be honest, it really does capture that time era, where the world was involved in an upcoming war, while at the same time they were transitioning to peaceful times after WW2, and listening to this feels bittersweet, for me at least. But nevertheless, this is good. 1.- Come All Ye = 7/10 2.- Reynardine = 8/10 3.- Matty Groves = 8/10 4.- Farewell, Farewell = 6/10 5.- The Desert = 7/10 6.- Medley: The Lark in the Morning = 7/10 7.- Tam Lin = 8/10 8.- Crazy Man Michael = 8/10 FINAL SCORE = 7.4/10

Jerry Lee Lewis - Live At The Star Club, Hamburg Classic example of "Separating the music from the artist" but it just feels wrong listening to this after knowing who Jerry Lee Lewis actually was as a person. As a musician however, he really rivaled Elvis Presley down to a peck, and for good reason. This live album feels very alive, full of energy, with the drums going hard while Jerry is singing at the top of his lungs in front of a huge crowd. It feels as if you are there with the crowd, witnessing the atmosphere that Jerry is trying to create, and he succeeded with that. While I don't like him for the stuff that he has done in real life, I can't deny that he has made decent music at most (although half of this album sounds exactly the same, but I digress). Overall, it's a good album as a whole, but because of the things Jerry has done, it just doesn't feel right, specially with some of the lyrics on the album. He married his 13 year old cousin when he was 22 by the way, so keep that in mind... 1.- Mean Woman Blues = 7/10 2.- High School Confidential = 6/10 3.- Money (That's What I Want) = 8/10 4.- Matchbox = 6/10 5.- What'd I Say, Part 1 = 8/10 6.- What'd I Say, Part 2 = 7/10 7.- Great Balls Of Fire = 8/10 8.- Good Golly, Miss Molly = 8/10 9.- Lewis Boogie = 7/10 10.- Your Cheatin' Heart = 7/10 11.- Hound Dog = 8/10 12.- Long Tall Sally = 7/10 13.- Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On = 8/10 FINAL SCORE = 7.3/10

Big Brother & The Holding Company - Cheap Thrills When I first heard the first song on this album, I thought that the person singing was some crazy person who was screaming like that. I would later come to realize that this album would end up being my introduction with Janis Joplin, so I was surprised when I learned who was singing on this album. Nonetheless, it's a pretty good album, with a lot of rock-based bangers, jam-packed drums and a whole lot of energy around it! It's groovy and catchy, and overall, it's just a fun album to listen to. This album cover perfectly depicts to how this album sounds, it's good! 1.- Combination of the Two = 8/10 2.- I Need a Man to Love = 8/10 3.- Summertime = 8/10 4.- Piece of My Heart = 9/10 5.- Turtle Blues = 7/10 6.- Oh, Sweet Mary = 7/10 7.- Ball and Chain = 10/10 FINAL SCORE = 8.1/10

Lucinda Williams - Car Wheels on a Gravel Road Second country album that I had ever listened, and it's decent, it's a very chill-back, relaxed album where it talks mostly about relatable topics from love, and overall it's consistency is what saves it from not being good. I would've liked if the entire album had the same energy as "Drunken Angel", that was sounds really good. 1.- Right in Time = 8/10 2.- Car Wheels on a Gravel Road = 8/10 3.- 2 Kool 2 Be 4-Gotten = 7/10 4.- Drunken Angel = 8/10 5.- Concrete and Barbed Wire = 7/10 6.- Lake Charles = 7/10 7.- Can't Let Go = 8/10 8.- I Lost It = 8/10 9.- Metal Firecracker =7/10 10.- Greenville = 6/10 11.- Still I Long for Your Kiss = 8/10 12.- Joy = 6/10 13.- Jackson = 7/10 FINAL SCORE = 7.3/10

The Who - My Generation Honestly, when I saw the name of this band, I thought that they were a psychedelic rock-type band, like Pink Floyd for instance. But instead, I basically got greeted with a more energetic and "in your face" type version of Elvis Preslesque songs (not complaining to be honest). I really love the drums and bass that go there, that would be pretty much the main highlights on this album, it's great! 1.- Out In the Street = 9/10 2.- I Don't Mind = 9/10 3.- The Good's Gone = 8/10 4.- La-La-La Lies = 7/10 5.- Much Too Much = 8/10 6.- My Generation = 9/10 7.- The Kids Are Alright = 8/10 8.- Please, Please, Please = 8/10 9.- It's Not True = 7/10 10.- I'm a Man = 6/10 11.- A Legal Matter = 7/10 12.- The Ox = 9/10 FINAL SCORE = 7.9/10

Grizzly Bear - Veckatimest Never thought that I ever expected to be amazed at an album on this list sooner, but here we are. This might genuinely be one of my favorites albums, ever. Almost every song in here is either amazing or perfect, and also "Fine for Now" and "I Live With You" are easy contenders for greatest songs to had ever existed in my point of view. This is everything that I ever wanted for rock and classical. Just like the album cover, this is a piece of art, I really enjoyed my first listen, makes me want to forget that I listened to this album just to listen to it again for the first time, that's how good this is. This is perfect. 1.- Southern Point = 10/10 2.- Two Weeks = 10/10 3.- All We Ask = 9/10 4.- Fine for Now = 10/10 5.- Cheerleader = 9/10 6.- Dory = 8/10 7.- Ready, Able = 9/10 8.- About Face = 9/10 9.- Hold Still = 8/10 10.- While You Wait for the Others = 10/10 11.- I Live With You = 10/10 12.- Foreground = 10/10 FINAL SCORE = 9.3/10

Tricky - Maxinquaye I tried to enjoy listening to this album, but it's just that the sounds around are full of everywhere and there's a lack of direction on it. There are so many genres packed into one album, but it just ends up feeling dull and sometimes boring and repetitive. I get that Tricky tried to do something creative, and while I can't deny that this is good music, at the end it feels empty as most of these songs really don't have that much substance other than the lyrics which (for a lack of a better term) doesn't really go hand in hand with the instrumentals. Honestly, Martina (the female vocalist) kind of saved this album from sounding numb. Like I said before, I get the appeal but this sound isn't for me, this is good though. 1.- Overcome = 8/10 2.- Ponderosa = 8/10 3.- Black Steel = 7/10 4.- Hell Is Around the Corner = 7/10 5.- Pumpkin = 8/10 6.- Aftermath = 8/10 7.- Abbaon Fat Track = 7/10 8.- Brand New You're Retro = 6/10 9.- Suffocated Love = 8/10 10.- You Don't = 8/10 11.- Strugglin' = 6/10 12.- Feed Me = 7/10 FINAL SCORE: 7.3/10

Missy Elliott - Supa Dupa Fly Was surprised to get a rap album from this list, but I'm not complaining, since I'm a huge hip-hop fan. I already heard of Missy Elliott before, but never took the time to listen to her music until now. As expected, this album is very direct, spontaneous and her bars go to great levels at times. From start to end, it does indeed feel like a journey you are taking upon to understand her perspectives and struggles she had to faced to in her past, and it just so happens to have great beats from Timbaland. This is great! 1.- Busta's Intro = 7/10 2.- Hit 'Em wit da Hee = 8/10 3.- Sock It 2 Me = 8/10 4.- The Rain (Supa Dupa Fly) = 9/10 5.- Beep Me 911 = 9/10 6.- They Don't Wanna Fuck wit Me = 8/10 7.- Pass da Blunt = 8/10 8.- Bite Our Style (Interlude) = 6/10 9.- Friendly Skies = 9/10 10.- Best Friends = 9/10 11.- Don't Be Comin' (In My Face) = 7/10 12.- Izzy Izzy Ahh = 9/10 13.- Why You Hurt Me = 8/10 14.- I'm Talkin' = 7/10 15.- Gettaway = 8/10 16.- Busta's Outro = 7/10 17.- Missy's Finale (Spoken Word) = 6/10 FINAL SCORE = 7.8/10

Van Halen - 1984 At first, I wasn't really expecting much from this album, and then I heard "Jump"... From then on, I was hyped to see what this album had to offer, and so far, it did not disappoint. Almost all the songs here are catchy and sound really great, it's a really fun album to listen. From a rock band like this, I'm surprised that I never heard of them before, but now I know, this is great! 1.- 1984 = 6/10 2.- Jump = 10/10 3.- Panama = 9/10 4.- Top Jimmy = 8/10 5.- Drop Dead Legs = 8/10 6.- Hot for Teacher = 8/10 7.- I'll Wait = 9/10 8.- Girl Gone Bad = 9/10 9.- House of Pain = 8/10 FINAL SCORE = 8.3/10

Goldfrapp - Felt Mountain First time in a long time where I listen to a beautiful album, this sounds majestic, every song on here tells it's unique little story using harmonies and melodies to accompany with. The vocalist blends really well in with the instrumentals, and overall, it makes up for what is a short yet cohesive, and well-arranged album, this is great! (also, didn't expect to see kanye sample "human", that took me by surprise lol) 1.- Lovely Head = 9/10 2.- Paper Bag = 10/10 3.- Human = 10/10 4.- Pilots = 10/10 5.- Deer Stop = 9/10 6.- Felt Mountain = 8/10 7.- Oompah Radar = 8/10 8.- Utopia = 9/10 9.- Horse Tears = 9/10 FINAL SCORE = 9.1/10

Steve Earle - Guitar Town Listen, I tried to be as fair as possible with this album, but this isn't for me. And the thing is, this is a decent album, but compared to the other albums that I'd listened in the past (including this list) are miles better than everything this album is, even albums that are chill and relaxed sound better than anything this album stands for. This album really fits into the "country music" stereotype, at least I'm glad that this album is short, longer than that and I would've take time to reflect at how dull and boring this is. Even an album like "Strange Cargo III" (an album from this list which I didn't like) failed to do something experimental, but at least it tried to be innovative. But this album though, this is bad. 1.- Guitar Town = 6/10 2.- Goodbye's All We've Got Left = 7/10 3.- Hillbilly Highway = 5/10 4.- Good Ol' Boy (Gettin' Tough) = 6/10 5.- My Old Friends the Blues = 5/10 6.- Someday = 5/10 7.- Think It Over = 4/10 8.- Fearless Heart = 5/10 9.- Little Rock 'n' Roller = 7/10 10.- Down the Road = 5/10 FINAL SCORE = 5.5/10

Bruce Springsteen - Darkness on the Edge of Town To be honest, only thing I ever heard of him was on the song "Born in the U.S.A.", which I wasn't really a fan of, so when I saw this album at first, I expected that it would sound similar to it, and it kinda did, but in a good way. What I really like about this is how grandious it feels when listening to this album, it makes your spirit and soul go dancing while grooving into this. There are some chill moments sure, but the rock elements are what define this album from any other rock album made in there. No wonder why he's a known artist, he for sure is one, because this album is great! 1.- Badlands = 8/10 2.- Adam Raised a Cain = 9/10 3.- Something in the Night = 9/10 4.- Candy's Room = 8/10 5.- Racing in the Street = 9/10 6.- The Promised Land = 8/10 7.- Factory = 7/10 8.- Streets of Fire = 9/10 9.- Prove It All Night = 10/10 10.- Darkness on the Edge of Town = 9/10 FINAL SCORE = 8.6/10

Deep Purple - Deep Purple in Rock Already heard of Deep Purple before, knew what I was gonna listen to, and it did not disappoint! Every song here is a banger and "Child in Time" is easily better than "Smoke on the Water", such an amazing song, along with all of the other songs in here, this goes as rock as it can get, this is amazing. 1.- Speed King = 9/10 2.- Bloodsucker = 9/10 3.- Child in Time = 10/10 4.- Flight of the Rat = 9/10 5.- Into the Fire = 9/10 6.- Living Wreck = 8/10 7.- Hard Lovin' Man = 9/10 FINAL SCORE = 9/10

Duran Duran - Rio Surprisingly consistent! This really captures that 80's vibe, in a very good and catchy way. Songs like "My Own Way" and "Save a Prayer" have that time capsule feeling, as if you were teleported back into that era, with full-on nostalgia coming in. This album is when you just feel down and want to dance and feel motivated, because this instantly improves your mood the moment you listen to it. This is great! 1.- Rio = 8/10 2.- My Own Way = 9/10 3.- Lonely in Your Nightmare = 7/10 4.- Hungry Like the Wolf = 8/10 5.- Hold Back the Rain = 9/10 6.- New Religion = 7/10 7.- Last Chance on the Stairway = 8/10 8.- Save a Prayer = 9/10 9.- The Chauffeur = 8/10 FINAL SCORE = 8.1/10

The Streets - A Grand Don't Come For Free Apparently this is one of the best rap albums of the year according to critics, even though Madvillainy was also made that same year... As a hiphop fan, that first song really gave a bad impression to what I was about to listen, thankfully though, the second half made the album a little bit more bearable to listen. Lyrically speaking, this album tells an interesting story, and while it sounded good on paper, the execution on it was not very good. His rapping was very monotous and didn't have much substance, considering that at that time even british rappers were able to sound interesting, while telling great stories as well. At least the lyrics save this album from being bad otherwise, because this album is, okay... 1.- It Was Supposed to Be so Easy = 3/10 2.- Could Well Be In = 6/10 3.- Not Addicted = 5/10 4.- Blinded by the Lights = 7/10 5.- Wouldn't Have It Any Other Way = 6/10 6.- Get Out of My House = 4/10 7.- Fit but You Know It = 7/10 8.- Such a Twat = 5/10 9.- What Is He Thinking? = 7/10 10.- Dry Your Eyes = 8/10 11.- Empty Cans = 8/10 FINAL SCORE = 6/10

Talking Heads - Fear Of Music Finally, I got to listen to Talking Heads for the first time, never listened to them before other than "Once in a Lifetime", but always wanted to listen their albums earlier. This album is packed with a lot of bangers, very consistent and cohesive with the sound they were doing at the time. But you might have to deal with Byrne's antics of singing on these songs, since it's either a hit or miss, for me however it doesn't matter, because it actually makes it a little bit better to the song, making it less boring to me. Overall, this is great! 1.- I Zimbra = 8/10 2.- Mind = 10/10 3.- Paper = 9/10 4.- Cities = 9/10 5.- Life During Wartime = 8/10 6.- Memories Can't Wait = 10/10 7.- Air = 9/10 8.- Heaven = 9/10 9.- Animals = 8/10 10.- Electric Guitar = 8/10 11.- Drugs = 8/10 FINAL SCORE = 8.7/10

Buena Vista Social Club - Buena Vista Social Club El álbum es tan bueno, que hasta voy a empezar a escribir en español y no inglés xd. Honestamente, cuando vi que me tocaba escuchar este álbum, no sabes lo emocionado que estaba, ya que era uno que tenía muchas ganas de escuchar. Tenía mis altas expectativas, y cuando lo escucho, no decepciono para nada. Puro temazo sobre temazo sobre temazo. Esto es lo que sucede cuando traes los mejores musicos que latinoamérica ofrece, todos juntos en solo un álbum, obtienes esto como resultado. Hay muy buena música en todos los lados que puedas ir si lo encuentras bien, pero luego existe música como está que es simplemente imposible de replicar, porqué es raro de que puedan hacer un album, así de perfecto. Literalmente, esto es perfecto. 1.- Chan Chan = 10/10 2.- De camino a la vereda = 10/10 3.- El cuarto de Tula = 10/10 4.- Pueblo nuevo = 9/10 5.- Dos gardenias = 10/10 6.- ¿Y tú qué has hecho? = 9/10 7.- Veinte años = 10/10 8.- El carretero = 10/10 9.- Candela = 10/10 10.- Amor de loca juventud = 10/10 11.- Orgullecida = 9/10 12.- Murmullo = 9/10 13.- Buena Vista Social Club = 10/10 14.- La Bayamesa = 9/10 PUNTUACIÓN FINAL = 9.6/10

Garbage - Garbage Actually not garbage. This is quite a neat punk-esque rock album to listen. It gets a little bit inconsistent in the middle of the album, but at the end it goes back on track. The songs on it sound really bloomy and nostalgic, in a good way to be honest. Overall, it's a really fun album to listen and, this is good! 1.- Supervixen = 8/10 2.- Queer = 8/10 3.- Only Happy When It Rains = 8/10 4.- As Heaven Is Wide = 7/10 5.- Not My Idea = 7/10 6.- A Stroke of Luck = 9/10 7.- Vow = 7/10 8.- Stupid Girl = 9/10 9.- Dog New Tricks = 7/10 10.- My Lover's Box = 9/10 11.- Fix Me Now = 8/10 12.- Milk = 8/10 FINAL SCORE: 7.9/10

Carole King - Tapestry Honestly, this is not the type of music I look forward when listening, but I can't deny, that this is still good music nonetheless. I like how chill and melancholic this sounds, from start to finish. I really have nothing much to say other than the fact that, this is good! 1.- I Feel the Earth Move = 7/10 2.- So Far Away = 7/10 3.- It's Too Late = 8/10 4.- Home Again = 7/10 5.- Beautiful = 8/10 6.- Way Over Yonder = 6/10 7.- You've Got a Friend = 8/10 8.- Where You Lead = 6/10 9.- Will You Love Me Tomorrow? = 7/10 10.- Smackwater Jack = 6/10 11.- Tapestry = 7/10 12.- (You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman = 8/10 FINAL SCORE: 7.1/10

Manic Street Preachers - The Holy Bible Not gonna lie, this kinda surprised me to listen, because i thought this was going to sound very technical and robust all throughout the album, but quite the opposite. Some of the songs on this albums sound really good, the rock elements mainly are what makes it great to hear. Overall, this is good! 1.- Yes = 9/10 2.- Ifwhiteamericatoldthetruthforonedayit'sworldwouldfallapart = 7/10 3.- Of Walking Abortion = 8/10 4.- She Is Suffering = 9/10 5.- Archives of Pain = 8/10 6.- Revol = 7/10 7.- 4st 7lb = 8/10 8.- Mausoleum = 6/10 9.- Faster = 8/10 10.- This Is Yesterday = 7/10 11.- Die in the Summertime = 7/10 12.- The Intense Humming of Evil = 7/10 13.- P.C.P. = 8/10 FINAL SCORE: 7.6/10

Led Zeppelin - Physical Graffiti First album that I heard from them and it's ALMOST perfect. Only the first disc would have gotten legendary status, but the rest of the album is pretty great too. Even though the last 3 songs don't really hit as hard, they are still better than any song that was made back then, so the quality really was up there, including the lows. Overall, this is amazing! 1.- Custard Pie = 9/10 2.- The Rover = 10/10 3.- In My Time of Dying = 10/10 4.- Houses of the Holy = 9/10 5.- Trampled Under Foot = 10/10 6.- Kashmir = 10/10 7.- In the Light = 10/10 8.- Bron-Yr-Aur = 8/10 9.- Down By the Seaside = 9/10 10.- Ten Years Gone = 10/10 11.- Night Flight = 8/10 12.- The Wanton Song = 9/10 13.- Boogie With Stu = 7/10 14.- Black Country Woman = 8/10 15.- Sick Again = 8/10 FINAL SCORE: 9/10

John Coltrane - A Love Supreme I always wanted to listen to this album in the past, it feels like a dream the fact that I was able to have the ability to listen to this. Makes me glad that i'm not deaf so that I can hear this from time to time. This is considered one of (if not) THE greatest albums ever made by any human for a reason. Not a single second is wasted all throughout. Definitely need a second listen for it though, but first listen it's already almost perfect. This is just perfect. 1.- Part I - Acknowledgement = 10/10 2.- Part II - Resolution = 9/10 3.- Part III - Pursuance / Part IV - Psalm = 10/10 FINAL SCORE: 9.7/10

Radiohead - The Bends As expected, this was going to sound great. This album is filled with bangers that'll make you vibe with it, there's also a lot of catchy hooks and great riffs that are shown there. If only the band knew for what they will later on create... Overall, this is great! 1.- Planet Telex = 8/10 2.- The Bends = 9/10 3.- High and Dry = 10/10 4.- Fake Plastic Trees = 10/10 5.- Bones = 8/10 6.- (Nice Dream) = 9/10 7.- Just = 10/10 8.- My Iron Lung = 10/10 9.- Bullet Proof ... I Wish I Was = 7/10 10.- Black Star = 8/10 11.- Sulk = 8/10 12.- Street Spirit (Fade Out) = 10/10 FINAL SCORE: 8.9/10

Little Simz - Grey Area Actually good, considering that nowadays mostly female rappers do everything but to actually rap. Little Simz raps like a storyteller, someone who has experience and wise enough to talk about issues that she had to go through. It's a personal, but sweet album to listen. Some of these songs really do depict that dark but technical sound that the album cover looks. Overall, for a rap album, this is great! 1.- Offence = 10/10 2.- Boss = 7/10 3.- Selfish = 9/10 4.- Wounds = 8/10 5.- Venom = 10/10 6.- 101 FM = 8/10 7.- Pressure = 9/10 8.- Therapy = 10/10 9.- Sherbet Sunset = 10/10 10.- Flowers = 8/10 FINAL SCORE: 8.9/10

Neil Young & Crazy Horse - Ragged Glory It's just an average country album that tried to be different, but failed. And while I do appreciate that they were doing this for fun, this album isn't something I'll really listen too often. The songs are long and boring with repetitive riffs, even though there are some highlights that happen all throughout. At least, because it does have actual rock elements for a country album, this is decent. 1.- Country Home = 6/10 2.- White Line = 5/10 3.- Fuckin' Up = 7/10 4.- Over and Over = 6/10 5.- Love to Burn = 5/10 6.- Farmer John = 4/10 7.- Mansion on the Hill = 8/10 8.- Days That Used to Be = 7/10 9.- Love and Only Love = 5/10 10.- Mother Earth (Natural Anthem) = 8/10 FINAL SCORE: 6.1/10

Janis Joplin - Pearl It's a great album coming from someone who passed away really young. Part of the 27 club, Janis Joplin has some of the most relaxing and yet upbeat moments that the album has. It takes time to be accustomed with her vocals, but once you get used to it, you'll appreciate it for it's highlights that have to offer, this is great! 1.- Move Over = 10 2.- Cry Baby = 9 3.- A Woman Left Lonely = 8 4.- Half Moon = 8 5.- Buried Alive In the Blues = 7 6.- My Baby = 9 7.- Me and Bobby McGee = 8 8.- Mercedez Bens = 6 9.- Trust Me = 9 10.- Get It While You Can = 10 FINAL SCORE: 8.4/10

Gary Numan - The Pleasure Principle For a genre that's called "new wave", it kinda does nail that on the spot, although it sounds very technical a lot of the times. Gary Numan presents this album with a lot of electronics and rarely any instruments that sound human at all. While it was revolutionary back then when it was released (1979) and also appreciate the ideas that Gary Numan was trying to put on the table, it sort of ends up going from one ear to the other, as it stales at times over the course of just 10 songs. I wish I could've enjoyed this because the concept of it sounds cool enough, but the music alone doesn't justify it, mostly songs made with an 80's feel, but overall, this is decent. 1.- Airplane = 5/10 2.- Metal = 7/10 3.- Complex = 6/10 4.- Films = 7/10 5.- M.E. = 8/10 6.- Tracks = 7/10 7.- Observer = 5/10 8.- Conversation = 5/10 9.- Cars = 8/10 10.- Engineers = 7/10 FINAL SCORE: 6.5/10

Various Artists - A Christmas Gift For You From Phil Spector This album is a joy to listen, specially during a great day to spend with loved ones during one of the most celebrated holidays in the entire world. Most christmas music that were made feel lifeless, as a way to try to profit such a wholesome holiday that has the intent of connecting everybody. Rarely is christmas music ever something to play, specially when it isn't christmas. But there's something that this album has that no other holiday album ever had, it's this type of connection that makes you want to revisit this album over and over again, even after christmas and new years eve had passed. But when the 24th of december comes in, listening to this album feels warm, with it's great catchy tunes coming in, the dreamy drums and bells going in all into the formation of 13 songs, including the likes of the Ronettes, the Crystals, and Bob Soxx and his crew. It's a shame though, that this album has a huge involvement with someone like Phil Spector, who is just despicable as a person in every way. But musically speaking, this album is great! 1.- White Christmas = 10/10 2.- Frosty the Snowman = 10/10 3.- The Bells of St. Mary = 9/10 4.- Santa Claus Is Coming to Town = 8/10 5.- Sleigh Ride = 7/10 6.- Marshmallow World = 8/10 7.- I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus = 10/10 8.- Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer = 10/10 9.- Winter Wonderland = 8/10 10.- Parade of the Wooden Soldiers = 10/10 11.- Christmas (Baby Please Come Home) = 10/10 12.- Here Comes Santa Claus = 9/10 13.- Silent Night = 7/10 FINAL SCORE: 8.9/10

Hanoi Rocks - Back to Mystery City This is stereotypical 80's music at it's finest. While they are some good songs on it here and there, nearly everything sounds exactly identical, so pretty much you are just listening to the same song 9 times (excluding the intro, which was indeed weird). It would've got a better score if the songs didn't sound repetitive and dull with the hooks and riffs they were delivering, so for now, this is fine. 1.- Strange Boys Play Weird Openings = 4/10 2.- Malibu Beach Nightmare = 7/10 3.- Mental Beat = 8/10 4.- Tooting Bec Wreck = 6/10 5.- Until I Get You = 8/10 6.- Sailing Down The Tears = 7/10 7.- Lick Summer Love = 7/10 8.- Beating Gets Faster = 8/10 9.- Ice Cream Summer = 8/10 10.- Back To Mystery City = 6/10 FINAL SCORE: 6.9/10

A Tribe Called Quest - People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm This band is considered to be one of the greatest hip-hop bands of all time, and you can clearly see that even in their debut album. Albeit a long one, all the songs in here are consistent and packed with bars and flows that'll you make think more. ATCQ definitely paved the way for the next generation of rappers that were about to come later on. Overall, this is great! 1.- Push It Along = 10/10 2.- Luck of Lucien = 8/10 3.- After Hours = 10/10 4.- Footprints = 8/10 5.- I Left My Wallet in El Segundo = 9/10 6.- Pubic Enemy = 8/10 7.- Bonita Applebum = 10/10 8.- Can I Kick It? = 10/10 9.- Youthful Expression = 9/10 10.- Rhythm (Devoted to the Art of Moving Butts) = 9/10 11.- Mr. Muhammad = 8/10 12.- Ham 'N' Eggs = 10/10 13.- Go Ahead In the Rain = 8/10 14.- Description of a Fool = 8/10 FINAL SCORE: 8.9/10

Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark - Architecture And Morality After listening to the first track, I expected it to sound really great throughout, but in the end, it turned lackluster most of the time. I get that they were trying to do something innovative, but it just didn't hit that well personally. There are still some songs like the first one and Souvenir which are really great, considering that it was made in the 80's, but the rest of the album doesn't really bring any good ideas into fruition. To be honest, this is decent. 1.- The New Stone Age = 9/10 2.- She's Leaving = 7/10 3.- Souvenir = 8/10 4.- Sealand = 5/10 5.- Joan Of Arc = 7/10 6.- Joan Of Arc (Maid Of Orleans) = 6/10 7.- Architecture And Morality = 5/10 8.- Georgia = 7/10 9.- The Beginning And The End = 6/10 FINAL SCORE: 6.7/10

Pulp - Different Class When I heard the first track of the album, I expected it to be just another country album (at this point, I've never heard of this band in my life), but all of a sudden, the song changes into more of a rock ballad, and it took me by surprise, and that pretty much goes for the rest of the album, it starts slow and soft, to then building up for a catchy and yet fulfilling chorus. Something that really didn't get me to like this was that some of the songs sound uncomfortable to hear due to it sounding horny in a way once you see the lyrics to it, thankfully not all of them are like that. In the end, I liked it more than I thought it would be, so this is good! 1.- Mis-Shapes = 8/10 2.- Pencil Skirt = 5/10 3.- Common People = 8/10 4.- I Spy = 9/10 5.- Disco 2000 = 9/10 6.- Live Bed Show = 6/10 7.- Something Changed = 10/10 8.- Sorted for E's & Wizz = 7/10 9.- F.E.E.L.I.N.G.C.A.L.L.E.D.L.O.V.E = 7/10 10.- Underwear = 6/10 11.- Monday Morning = 8/10 12.- Bar Italia = 8/10 FINAL SCORE: 7.6/10

The Allman Brothers Band - At Fillmore East While I didn't enjoyed as much as others, it's still a good live album. There are for sure big highlights throughout the album, but some of them do feel repetitive and quite dull at times. But honestly, this is good! 1.- Statesboro Blues = 7/10 2.- Done Somebody Wrong = 5/10 3.- Stormy Monday = 8/10 4.- You Don't Love Me = 6/10 5.- Hot 'Lanta = 9/10 6.- In Memory of Elizabeth Reed = 7/10 7.- Whipping Post = 10/10 FINAL SCORE: 7.4/10

The Dictators - Go Girl Crazy It's a nice short 30 min album that's consistent all throughout. It's mostly filled with good-sounding rock songs, with a lot of electric guitar and bass riffs a lot of the times. The vocalist really does bring an 80's feel to it, which I appreciate it, because it does sound really iconic and nostalgic. Not incredible, but it is a fun album to listen. Overall, this is good! 1.- The Next Big Thing = 6/10 2.- I Got You Babe = 8/10 3.- Back to Africa = 7/10 4.- Master Race Rock = 7/10 5.- Teengenerate = 7/10 6.- California Sun = 8/10 7.- Two Tub Man = 8/10 8.- Weekend = 6/10 9.- (I Live For) Cars and Girls = 7/10 FINAL SCORE: 7.1/10

Fred Neil - Fred Neil This just sounds like any other country album out there, although to be fair, for the time this was released (1966), it was one that made the genre what's known now. Even though there are sweet moments through this album, it's overshadowed by the dull and often repetitive melodies that are scattered in this record. Not a great start for the year :/ 1.- The Dolphins = 7/10 2.- I've Got a Secret (Didn't We Shake Sugaree) = 6/10 3.- That's the Bag I'm In = 5/10 4.- Badi-Ba = 4/10 5.- Faretheewell (Fred's Tune) = 8/10 6.- Everybody's Talkin = 7/10 7.- Everything Happens = 5/10 8.- Sweet Cocaine = 4/10 9.- Green Rocky Road = 5/10 10.- Cynicrustpetefredjohn Raga = 6/10 FINAL SCORE: 5.7/10

Jane's Addiction - Nothing's Shocking Good album, I expected it to be really weird because of the album cover, but to be honest, there are bangers in this album, i'm not going back to listen to this though for obvious reasons, but i'll listen to that one than that fred neil album again, this sounds way more fun and cool (no wonder why MC Ride sampled this for his songs, this goes hard!!). Overall, this is good! 1.- Up the Beach = 9/10 2.- Ocean Size = 9/10 3.- Had a Dad = 8/10 4.- Ted, Just Admit It... = 8/10 5.- Standing in the Shower... Thinking = 7/10 6.- Summertime Rolls = 9/10 7.- Mountain Song = 7/10 8.- Idiots Rule = 8/10 9.- Jane Says = 9/10 10.- Thank You Boys = 6/10 11.- Pig's In Zen = 7/10 FINAL SCORE: 7.9/10

Nirvana - In Utero Near perfect album that Nirvana has made. What an album to finish a short yet impactful catalogue that this band had in the past. From start to finish, this album goes really hard and it shows the strenghts that the band had, it's a shame that they stopped making music, imagine the great albums we could've gotten later on. This album is great! R.I.P. Kurt Cobain 1.- Serve the Servants = 10/10 2.- Scentless Apprentice = 9/10 3.- Heart-Shaped Box = 10/10 4.- Rape Me = 9/10 5.- Frances Farmer Will Have Her Revenge On Seattle = 8/10 6.- Dumb = 9/10 7.- Very Ape = 8/10 8.- Milk It = 8/10 9.- Pennyroyal Tea = 10/10 10.- Radio Friendly Unit Shifter = 8/10 11.- tourette's = 8/10 12.- All Apologies = 10/10 FINAL SCORE: 8.9/10

Boards of Canada - Music Has The Right To Children It's a chill and relaxing ambient album to hear, with it's own interesting moments here and there. This album is perfect background music for studying/working, it really gets you focused on the chores you're doing. But for only listening to this, it doesn't really offer that much other than calming tunes a lot of the times. Overall, this is good! 1.- Wildlife Analysis = 7/10 2.- An Eagle In Your Mind = 8/10 3.- The Color of the Fire = 6/10 4.- Telephasic Workshop = 8/10 5.- Triangles & Rhombuses = 7/10 6.- Sixtyten = 8/10 7.- Turquoise Hexagon Sun = 8/10 8.- Kaini Industries = 6/10 9.- Bocuma = 7/10 10.- Roygbiv = 9/10 11.- Rue the Whirl = 8/10 12.- Aquarius = 7/10 13.- Olson = 6/10 14.- Pete Standing Alone = 7/10 15.- Smokes Quantity = 8/10 16.- Open the Light = 9/10 17.- One Very Important Thought = 6/10 FINAL SCORE: 7.4/10

Rush - 2112 Not gonna lie, I was not expecting this album to go this hard... Not a single miss on the album, the title track may be one of the best things I heard as of now, just everything about is just great. This is perfect... 1.- 2112 = 10/10 2.- A Passage to Bangkok = 10/10 3.- The Twilight Zone = 9/10 4.- Lessons = 8/10 5.- Tears = 9/10 6.- Something for Nothing = 10/10 FINAL SCORE: 9.3/10

The Rolling Stones - Let It Bleed I had a lot of expectations from this considering that it's one of their best albums. I was yet disappointed to hear that it had that 60's "country-style" rock. There are some good songs on here though, and it is consistently good most of the time, but I did expect a lot more from this. But even with that being said, this is good! 1.- Gimme Shelter = 9/10 2.- Love in Vain = 6/10 3.- Country Honk = 6/10 4.- Live with Me = 7/10 5.- Let It Bleed = 7/10 6.- Midnight Rambler = 8/10 7.- You Got the Silver = 7/10 8.- Monkey Man = 7/10 9.- You Can't Always Get What You Want = 9/10 FINAL SCORE: 7.3/10

Duke Ellington - Ellington at Newport Nice chill jazz live album coming from one of the greats to do it. Albums like these are the reason why I enjoy listening to music so much. How vibrant and colorful the music sounds, it feels as if you were back in time during that concert. It's great to be honest, this is great! 1.- Festival Junction = 8/10 2.- Blues to Be There = 7/10 3.- Newport Up = 7/10 4.- Jeep's Blues = 9/10 5.- Diminuendo and Crescendo in Blue = 10/10 FINAL SCORE: 8.2/10

Talking Heads - More Songs About Buildings And Food Another album coming from the legendary band Talking Heads, with once again a consistent good album to listen to. It features some country elements and turns it around making it more interesting and appealing to hear. Thankfully, their lows are not as low, while it's highs are it's highest on here. Overall, this is good! 1.- Thank You for Sending Me an Angel = 7/10 2.- With Our Love = 7/10 3.- The Good Thing = 8/10 4.- Warning Sign = 7/10 5.- The Girls Want to Be with the Girls = 8/10 6.- Found a Job = 10/10 7.- Artists Only = 9/10 8.- I'm Not in Love = 7/10 9.- Stay Hungry = 8/10 10.- Take Me to the River = 8/10 11.- The Big Country = 8/10 FINAL SCORE: 7.9/10

The Undertones - Hypnotised Yea... This isn't for me. I get that they were the pioneers of this genre they were doing, but it just sounds the same. Nearly every song here feels the same. I'm not complaining about "some" of the lyrics here, but most of them sound pretty dull by comparison. There are like 3 or even 4 good songs on here, most of them are just the same thing like said, very repetitive with very few ideas to bring on the table. Hell, even The Clash were able to make punk music better than them a year earlier with London Calling... 1.- More Songs About Chocolate and Girls = 5/10 2.- There Goes Norman = 6/10 3.- Hypnotised = 5/10 4.- See That Girl = 6/10 5.- Whizz Kids = 6/10 6.- Under the Boardwalk = 7/10 7.- The Way Girls Talk = 4/10 8.- Hard Luck = 6/10 9.- My Perfect Cousin = 7/10 10.- Boys Will Be Boys = 4/10 11.- Tearproof = 5/10 12.- Wednesday Week = 6/10 13.- Nine Times Out of Ten = 7/10 14.- Girls That Don't Talk = 5/10 15.- What's With Terry? = 6/10 FINAL SCORE: 5.6/10

Lynyrd Skynyrd (Pronounced 'Lĕh-'nérd 'Skin-'nérd) First album that this band has made, and honestly, this is surprisingly good! This is what country music should sound like, as someone who really has tried to give the genre a listen and just couldn't enjoy it. This album offers some of the band's all time classics like "Tuesday's Gone", "Simple Man" and the infamous "Freebird". Although it does have some lows, its highs really compensate this from sounding boring. Overall, this is great! 1.- I Ain't the One = 7/10 2.- Tuesday's Gone = 10/10 3.- Gimme Three Steps = 8/10 4.- Simple Man = 9/10 5.- Things Goin' On = 7/10 6.- Mississippi Kid = 6/10 7.- Poison Whiskey = 7/10 8.- Freebird = 10/10 FINAL SCORE: 8/10
