I like experimentation, but this felt messy, and that he style of singing, which was really popular back then, doesn't help. At least I could feel that they tried to do something different, but still feels a bit like every other british rock album from that period of time
This album is relentless, energetic and angry. The lenght of this album makes the record work, because if it was longer it would become tiresome. In my personal opinion, I wish it had a little more variety in the middle tracks, as I feel like some songs are almost identical. Nonetheless, a very solid album and one of the best trash albums of all time.
Production is really nice and the performance is excellent. A very solid album.
Decent album with no bad songs. Maybe nothing that blew me out of the water, but it was still a great listening.
Amazing album. It is presented with great riffs, incredible vocals and really good performance by the entire band, while also presenting interesting and experimental ideas like in Whole Lotta Love or Bring It on Home.
I'm not a really big fan of classic rock, so this album didn't do really anything for me. The only thing I can say is that everything sounds very clear, and they play really good, but I felt bored overall. Also, I mistakenly listened to the extended version, which didn't helped.
Adele's voice is undoubtly incredible and unique, but I can't say the same for the instrumentos. Sometimes, I feel like this is a product from that time, as it takes me back to 2015. And that's about it. Also, I want to point out that 'Send My Love' feels too much like a Imagine Dragons song, and I do believe too that the album cover is really bad. It makes me feel uncomfortable as it seems like her head was chop off.
What a pleasent surprise to find 'One Way or Another' and 'Heart of Glass' in the same album. I knew about these songs, but I didn't know about the group. This is a very solid album, and it sounds insanely clean for it's time. I was expecting a more noisy sound, but everything sounds fantastic. What I dislike the most of this album is that some songs feel standard. There's a lote of experimentation in this album, but there's also some songs that lack of it, and those I don't like that much. When they do it great, they do it really great, but when they don't, at least is still good.
At first it was interesting. Then it became boring and felt too long
An album with interesting ideas, but it felt a bit todo long
Nothing more to say than a good old rock and country album.
Really great album. You can really feel the passion in Sam's voice and even the instruments.
Surely an album for lovers of hard rock. But me? I'm picky with my hard rock. I didn't care for this album
Great singing, nothing more interesting to say
This is more a 7 than a 6. I would like to rate this album higher, because I like Peter Gabriel's voice and how good the production is throughout the whole album (even the drums with that distinct sound of the 80's). But I felt like a lot of the songs are a product of its time. Not that they aren't good, but they didn't felt that interesting.
Fantastic album, it absolutely rocks. The bests tracks are top tier rock songs and the worse ones are still very enjoyable. An album with a lot of passion and energy
Sounds good, but not interesting.
Some songs are really catchy, others no so much. Also, a bit too long of an album but I do appreciate the sound of it overall
As much as I try, I can't get neither into Elton John's music nor piano rock.
The first time I listened to this album, it was ok. But in the second time I realized that it is a bit boring. For me, it is like background music, something you listen when you do anything else without paying too much attention, because when you do, you don't get anything out of it. But at least it isn't a punishing record. Also, jazz is not a genre that I'm familiar with, so maybe I need more experience to understand this one.
What an interesting listening! I really appreciated how different each song sounds from the other, bending different types of music genres. I really liked this album.
Wonderful album. Loved how beautiful everything sounded.
I really liked the mysterious and dark sound of this album, which makes it a really unique experience for a songwriter record
It is ok. I don't really like christmas songs but I could at least appreciate how cheerful it is
This is my first Beatles album ever and I do absolutely understand why is considered one of the bests records ever. So many interesting ideas, catchy choruses and production
What an extrordinary voice and what an enjoyable project. The only complain is that I wish it was a little shorter, but at least is all killer and no filler (excluding intro and outro)
Surely it is fun but also aged. Besides, some songs are a bit boring honestmy
This album lack any type of substance. This was sooooo boring. I'm giving it 2 stars because the production was very clean, but that's all.
Another incredible classic from the Beatles. I can't say anything more that hasn't been already said.
An interesting big of various ideas, but it lacks consitency and has a rough production
Kind of charming, but not my cup of tea.
This album felt monotonous until the end, which makes me sad because I liked the man's voice
I've heard so many good things about this album that my that expectations were really high. So, after listening to it I felt a bit disappointed because it wasn't the perfect experience I was waiting for. Nontheless, it is still a really good album with catchy riffs and choruses.
I did enjoy quite a bit this album, specially the weird beats. It felt long, but I felt like there wasn't a bad song. Not saying it is amazing, but at least good.
In general, I do not like 80's pop music, so this was a boredom for me.
I could only listen to this once, so the review isn't really fair. I honestly expected more from this. It is a solid album with really good beats and flow, but there wasn't anything that clicked. If I had more time, maybe it would be able to grow on me, but for now, this gets 3 stars.
Another solid album from Beck. I liked the blend between country, hip hop and alt. Makes it a very unique record
Really good singing, but the songs are just good or decent.
What can be said about one of the greatest voices music ever and one of the most best bands to ever cross rock with opera do hasn't been already told? I like how you can feel the were building up to 'A night at the Opera' with this album
Really good alternative album. Not much to say (I could only listen to it once)
Great beats and flow, specially the last songs.
It was ok
For me, this started as a generic 80's pop album, but it did get better over time. My main complain is the production. It sounds clean, don't get me wrong. But I can not stand the 80's sound
Was super charming at the beginning, but the songs and the album ended up feeling a bit too long
It started so good, but it didn't need to be 1 hour a 17 minutes, specially when almost every song sounds the same
Man, this album feels nostalgic. Not that it has to rely on nostalgia for it to be good in my opinion. Chester's voice is still one of the greatest, and the whole album is feel with some great riffs and electronic textures.
It was ok. Nothing really interesting from The Beatles.
At first listen, really great, nothing more that I can say
Not my thing
Country doesn't do anything for me. The comedic interludes where funny, though.
What an interesting listening. It's not mind blowing, but the eeire textures makes this a very unique pop album
To put ir simply: beautiful
Did nothing for me
A very charming and uplifting álbum
Painfully generic, and some of the choruses go for soooo long, specially the bad ones.
Astonishing singing and really great instrumentation. I only wish I could connect more with it.
Incredible singing, and smooth sound throughout the whole album. Unfortunately, I didn't connect with this album, and it felt a bit too slow for me.
I wish to like this more than I do, because I do enjoy rap, but I'm afraid that I wasn't really feeling it. The beats are great and the delivery is good, but there's something missing for me, even though I don't know what
Great experience. I liked the atmosphere of the album the best
Boring. I felt absolutely nothing listening to this.
Sweet and short. Very charming performances
I appreciate a lot of the expirmation in this album, but I wish it was a little more consistent. In any case, it still really good album, and the performance is top notch, specilly in All Along the Watchtower
To be honest, this album felt repetitive and without much progression. It was like listening to the same song over and over again. At least, it isn't a bad song.
I miss the old Kanye... When he made charmful beats. Also, this album could be a little shorter
Absolutely gorgeous. Sounds incredible soft to the ears. What a pleasant experience!
99% of the time, boring and soulless.
The bass in this album is tremendous, and the production is quite solid, even though it bleeds from the 80's sound. In addition to the production, I also enjoyed the feeling of mistery that the album presents
Very enjoyable. The guitar melodies are incredible good
Did nothing for me, but also I can't say it is bad.
The vocales are charming with enough variety to make this an interesting listening.
The production is superv. Really the only reason I kept coming back to this album
Not really interesting, but still ok
From the artwork, I was expecting some acoustic and personal album. I did not expect bland soul. This album did nothing to me.
Nothing interesting
Incredible riffs, catchy melodies, energetic, chaotic and one of the greatest vocals in music history
Funky and full of soul. A very charming album
Catchy and psychedelic
Beautiful and subtle. Maybe a bit too long, but I think this can grown on me
Great melodies and performance, but overall, not my thing
What a charming record! I've never listened to Indian music before, and this was a surprise, and a very pleasent one, as I can feel it was done with passion. So glad to discover things like this
A classic in all shapes and forms. Explendid atmosphere, performance and production. I don't give it 5 stars because I don't think is perfect, but is almost up there.
Even if it is not being the best Radiohead album, it is still a very good album
I fins the instrumentation very interesting, but I cannot surpass this uncomfortable feeling about the vocals and concept. The whispering voice makes it feel more intimate, which is very uneasing with the context.
Started so good. The first track was an incredible opening and got me excited and set my expectations high. But it gets dull and repetitive. What a disappointment
What stands out the most in this album is the incredible voice from Elizabeth and the catchy melodies, but it goes without saying that the instruments also are very good, and bend pretty well with the singing. A very dreamy experience
Didn't do absolutely anything for me. At least it wasn't painfully boring.
I sounded pleasant and interesting at times, but there were also moments that made me question what was happening, and not in a good way. Besides, it felt long
For me, when it comes to electronic albums, this landed in the middle of the road. It didn't make me want to dance or charmed me enough, which would be the EDM side of the road; and it also didn't feel interesting or experimental enough, which would be the IDM and other side of the road, which is weird because there were some really strange tracks, but I disliked it more than feeling curosity. So yeah, nothing interesting for me
I loved this album and I love how Leonard Cohen has a very distinctive sound from any other artist who sings and plays an acoustic guitar. I feel that this album is not as eerie as 'Songs of Love and Hate', but it does present more of the beautiful melodies while having the same type of obscure lyrics (from what I could understand) Really good album
The only positive points this album has are the punky songs at the end, which helped me to stay awake during this snooze fest.
Great beats, great flow, great delivery. A classic in all forms.
I didn't care for this album. Felt boring and I couldn't connect with it emotionally
This whole album is carried by Alanis Morissette voice. Not saying that the instruments are bad, but I felt that they only served as a base for the singer. Thankfully, Alanis' voice is interesting enough for me to keep coming back. She is really expressive and also has some catchy and a bit of weird vocal melodies, such as 'Ironic'. Unfortunately, not every song has these melodies present, like 'Mary Jane' (at least for me). So, while some tracks stand by they own, there are others that don't. I think with time, this album is going to wear off from my mind, but for now, I'll give it 4 stars.
I liked this record. It is weird, and experimental, and I've never heard anything like this album. But I'm not sure if I'm seeing myself coming back, specially because not every track stuck with me.
The production is fantastic. The voices and instruments sounds incredible smooth through the all album. In spite of the sound, I wish some of the songs were more memorable or stuck more with me.
Honestly, just the artwork alone made me want to like this album and it turned out to be really good. I was in highschool when this record dropped, and hearing this style of music, which was very popular in that era, takes me back. This album feels very intimate thanks to the kind of raspy and quite voice of Lorde and the themes of love and grief of the lyrics. Another two traits to point our are how rich the production is, making the record sound really good; and the diversity on the instruments. For example, there's one song that uses trap beats and there are a couple of songs that are piano valads. Although all the positive points, there are some moments that I'm not crazy about, such as the second part of Hard Feelings/Loveless. Overall, it is still a great pop album.
This is the third Peter Gabriel album that I got from this list. At this point, I know that his music is not meant for me. This is an 80's pop album, and you can really tell, specially beacuse of the sound of the drums. If you like this movement, then this is a great album thanks to the nice production and the experimentation. But for me, I didn't get any type of reward. At least it wasn't boring.
Incredible vocals with some interesting mixes between trip Hop and IDM beats. It starts as a more dance focused record but it gradually gets more and more atmospheric
This records presents some nice riffs and catchy vocals melodies and it is heavy but it also drags some songs for too long. If it wasn't for this last point, I would give this album a higher rating, even after having grown tired of them
In spite of sounding a lot like The Beatles, this record is filled with catchy hooks and melodies, specially the ones coming from the female singers. I only wish I didn't search about John...
In spite of having Lauryn Hill, a great choice of beats and some particular ways of rapping and singing, I didn't really connect with this album, which is a shame for me
I wish I could connect more emotionally to this album, specially with the slowest songs, because Aretha's voice is truly one of the greatest in music's history, showcasing a very powerful and passinate performance through the whole album.
This album felt very safe and inoffensive. Yes, I'm aware that they did some experimentation, such as including the using of a mandolin and other sounds, but I think it all just came out very dull.
I had to listen to this album several times in order to have a former opinion. What really shines about this album, and I'm betting that you could also say about this man's whole discography, is the how versatile his voice is. In some songs he mainly whispers while, in other ones it is very present and some other feels like you are listening to a Disney villain. But not only his voice shines. My favorite parts from this records where when the instruments played wierd and dissonant melodies, which match incredible well with Tom's voice. Nevertheless, I didn't find the slower cuts to be that interesting as the rest (like 'Time' or 'Downtown Train'). Overall, incredible album
I like experimentation, but this felt messy, and that he style of singing, which was really popular back then, doesn't help. At least I could feel that they tried to do something different, but still feels a bit like every other british rock album from that period of time
Sounds very smooth and relaxing. A very pleasent album to listen too, but I don't think I'm coming back to it anytime soon.
I found this boring and uninteresting. Yes, it sounds like a Disney soundtrack, but for me, that doesn't justify it. Not for me.
Good rock album, but I can't really say anything more. There's nothing that was outstanding for me, just some old regular rock songs
Bland punk/grunge album. I felt like they lack of personality and they added little to nothing to the genre in comparasion with another bands. Maybe an unfair point of view, but if there's music that sounds similar to this and is better, and it doesn't bring anything new to the table, then I don't think it is worth my time that I listen to the music.
What an increndible album. It sounds gloomy, atmospheric and intimate, specially in the second half of the album. The production is stellar. What an experience. I can see this being a 5 stars for me, but only time will tell.
The weirdness and experimentation which this album present makes this a very interesting experience. Loved how you can both enjoy the songs for both being rocks jams or beceause how weird they are. My main complain about this album would be the production. I'm aware that this album is from 1967, but sometimes it feels messy, to the point where makes things hard to understand.
A very peaceful and relaxing experience. Really hard to say anything else honestly. They are just three guys being good at their instruments and creating a calming an rural atmosphere.
I'm surprised with myself that I can't connect with this album. The production sounds good, the vocals are kind of catchy, and there's some experimentation by mixing americana and indie rock. Regardless of being interesting, doesn't do anything for me.
My experience with british Pop from this list has been kind of miserable, so, after seeing the genre and the reviews of this album, I prepared myself to submit to another bland Pop album. However, I was surprised. This album is subtle and a bit experimental, as some cuts felt like song coming from Shoegaze and Dream Pop. Certaintly something to standout from the more generic and boring albums from the orginal genre this album comes from. If I give this a 3 star instead of 4, it's because it is more lengthy than it should have been un my opinion.
It is funny that the previous album that I had to listen was also a british rock Pop album, and how I said that it was nice to have an album that feels different from the genre. But then I got this. I've already listen to 112 albums, and at this point, I just don't want any british Pop rock album from the 80's. Every single singer sings the same way and I'm so tired that every time that a have to listen to this type of singing, I immediately roll my eyes. So, is this album bad? I don't know, because I could hear some experimentation, and that is something I always appreciate. Is this album good? I don't think so, because I can't stand this type of music. It is unfair? Maybe, but it is definetely unfair that there's so much of this type of music in this list. So, I'm giving it 2 stars as a thanks to this list for making me hating this genre.
It is funky, funny and the production is really thick. But this album didn't need to be this long, specially when there're a lot of forgettable songs.
I was expecting this record to be really fun, but I did find it a bit dull, so I ended up feeling disappointed with the lack of energy. At least it is really short.
I don't really have anything special to say about this album. It is good, feels consistent and has some rock jams. Nothing that shines by its own.
What differences Boards of Canada from any other artist/band from the IDM movement is their ability to create deep psychedelic and surreal atmospheres. Even if this is not their best or their most mysterious album, in this record, Boards of Canada offers a great entry level to their music. I love getting lost in their intricate beats and melodies, which are the most beautiful or the weirdest there can be. What an experience, being both charming and haunting.
Starts decent, but at the end I wanted it to end. I'm not a fun of this type of singer songwriter music, so... That's it. The production is kind of good, though.
A bit hard to rate since I'm not very familiar with reggae. Obviously, I know about the genre, but I don't think I've e era heard a full reggae song before. And I'm not counting the UB40 album I had to listen, which is categorized as a fusion of other genres (and it was and awful experience), while this album feels like pure reggae. So, what do I think? After my first listen, I felt indifference, but in the second round, I left with a better impression. I don't think is incridebile, but at least it is enjoyable. It is very relaxing and at the tracks do offer some subtle changes which makes the experience more diverse. Besides, it my be a bit unfair from me to not bring up the theme of the album, but I was more focused on the instruments than the lyrics, and I didn't understand what he was saying anyway. In the end, I don't think I'll be returning to this album anytime soon, but I won't be regretting listening to this.
This was an interesting listening. It reminds me a lot to Danny Brown, but, since this came first, it should be the way around. So, this album feels a bit goofy, but with charm. The voice feels exagerated and the british accent is very present in it. The beats also contribute, since they're really different from what I was expecting from an album that came out in 2003. Talking about the beats, something that I have to mention is the fact that I feel this album had an important impact in the rap scene. As I stated, he reminds me of Danny Brown, but the production did also make me think about the modern drill scene, and how similar they sound. I liked this album, but it is kind of loud and long. From 2 of 3 times that I listened to it, I ended up feeling ear fatigue, so I'd appreciate it if the record was a bit shorter.
This album is relentless, energetic and angry. The lenght of this album makes the record work, because if it was longer it would become tiresome. In my personal opinion, I wish it had a little more variety in the middle tracks, as I feel like some songs are almost identical. Nonetheless, a very solid album and one of the best trash albums of all time.
What I really liked about this album are the voice, the guitar tone, the little details that they sometimes add and the diversity (like the fusion with country). And because there's really nothing more to say about this album, I can affirm that this was a really fun and great experience.
I love ambient and atmospheric music. Usually, it is immersive or it might provoke some emotions. This album, for me, failed at both points. Not saying that it was a completely stale experience, since I think it has its highs, but they are so infrequent in a 1 hour and 40 minutes listen that the album ends up feeling like background music in its majority, without bing offesinvely bad at leas
What really shines about this album is how heavily textured it is. What I mean by this is that it is very detailed, both in its instrumentation and electronics, and it is production. But I think you can say that from almost or every album from Radiohead from this time (from Kid A to In Rainbows at least). I can also add that the vocals, the guitar and bass melodies are super, that it has a sad tone and everything that characterizes Radiohead. Maybe what I could add is that I don't believe that there's a single track which stand outs from the other. Not that they don't have personality, but more like that they all work very well together, making it a very coherent listen (although it has its low points).
This album took me some listens to finally click with me. But why? To put some context, I've been listening to Elliot's music before starting this list. But I only listened to the more soft side of his discography, and I'm talking about the Self titled and 'Either/Or'. By the time I was most into his music, I've tried listening to this record, but it didn't stick with me, because it is so different from what I expected, so I didn't even give it another try. Until now. When this list presented me this record I saw a chance to finally get into it. And boy, I'm glad I had this opportunity. As I stated, this is not an acoustic album. This album has very large instrumentation, which, in comparison with his previous music, makes this record feel more positive. But it sounds so so good, and his voice plays along with it so well. Besides, it may sound a little more charming, but his lyrics still feel and are sad. So, overall, this album still presents the same personality which characterized his previous album, but more ambitious in terms of instruments. I'm not giving it a 5, but damn, it is so close. And to add a personal note, I don't think that any other Elliot Smith song has made feel more emotional than 'Can't Make a Sound' has made.
While maintaining the bright and powerful tone of the guitar, the catchy melodies and riffs, and the variation, I felt that this album was a little less consistent than 'White Blood Cells', specially because of the slower cuts. Either way, this record is still great and powerful.
Enjoyable, charming and simple. This album offers some catchy melodies with a punk or garage type production and, probably the most important point of the album, themes and lyrics which centers around feminism, making this album very unique.
This is a very intimate and sad album, where Björk shows herself at her most vulnerable moments, specially in the first half of the album, being the track 'Black Lake' the most emotional one. Now that I've described this album, I have to give some of my personal takes. First, I'm really glad that I discovered Björk before this album and list, because this is not an easy listen, as it took me several days to form an opinion. Second, I love the weirdness and experimentaion of Björk's music. She always surprise me with her strange melodies and way of singing. For example, a track that really stand out to me for these things is 'Notget'. In summary, as I said, in this album, Björk exposes her most vulnerable side withouth sacrificing the traits that define her previous works, specially in the first half, which is way stronger than the last tracks.
While I dind't felt bored listening to this album, I certainly was left not wanting to return. This is not a bad album, not at all, as it is filled with some nice jams and performance. But this style doesn't really do anything for me. People who loves rock and blues, may find this album great, but not for me.
For me, just another bland hard rock album. Unfinished Sweet had an interesting part. A bit weird and drony. And that's it, nothing more interesting to say about the album, since I don't like hard rock.
What a weird and interesting album, one that, after listening to it, makes me wonder how it did land in this list. Personally, I really liked it. The strongest point of this album are the beats, and it is not as surprise, since EL-P is also credited as one of the producers of the album. So what they presented here, is a combination of some weird, groovy and futuristic beats, and, for the most part, it works really well, in my opinion, as a relaxing or chilling experience. The vocals are not bad, but I feel that they don't add that much. This album could be purely instrumental and it won't lose power. Overall, an interesting an album that didn't demand too much of my attention but kept my head moving to the beats.
First of all, this is not a bad album. It is energetic and youthful... But not as much as too resonate with me. My main problem with this album is that it sounds very loud, to the point of feeling saturated (both my head and the songs). Either way, a decent album.
At first listen, it felt energetic and very powerful rock / proto metal. But with more and more listens, it became a little bland and boring.
Sounds really pleasant and good. There's also room for some variation, as somes tracks take elements from rock, blues or country. Still not really my thing, but I enjoy quite a lot.
This album is very well performed, very soulful (no pun intended) and has some really good melodies. But I honestly find it hard to connect with it, and some parts I find a bit repetitive, but I won't dare to say that this is a bad album.
Going to listen for the first time to this album, I thought I would like it more than I really did, because Michael Jackson's voice and style is one of a kind and incredible, but this album felt a bit dated for me, both for the instrumentation and some of the songs structures, and I'm not talking about 'Bad' or 'Smooth Criminal', which are undeniable bangers, I'm refering to tracks like 'I Just Can't Stop Loving You' or 'Liberian Girl'. The expectations really did me dirty on this one.
The first time I listened to this album was horrendous. The second time, it was better, since I knew what it was like, but still not a great experience. I just can't stand this type of singing, and the instruments felt bland. There's some nice melodies here and there, but not enough to want me to listen to this album again. And just for the record, Picasso is known to be a misogynist and treating his wifes poorly, so he was kind of an asshole (or maybe I'm missing the point of the song).
The first half of this album is so painfully boring. It is just some standard and bland rock. Thankfully, the second half has some experimentation, with some weird melodies with the guitars. Still, I don't want to listen to this ever again.
I was a bit scared of the 'Glam rock' tag because I'm not a fan of 'Glam metal' and I though that they might very similar. But what a pleasant surprise this was. This album sounds incredible and it is full of layers and creativity in every single track. I don't think it is perfect, but don't think I have anything bad to say. And this was only my first impression. Fantastic.
Fantastic flow accompanied by groovy and charming beats. My only problem is that I think I like it less and less the more listens I give it. Still a very good album of a very influential rapper.
I first thought that this was a UK group. After listening to the album and discovering that they are from Australia, I understood why I didn't dislike this album (let me complain once more about all the unberable british pop rock albums from the 80's that this list has). This album is decent. Sounds nice, but there isn't really anything that stood up for me.
