Really enjoyed this as a first album. Some standouts were chan chan, el cuatro de tula, pueblo nuevo, buena vista social club and la bayamesa. Loved the piano on songs like the title track and pueblo nuevo. Even though I don’t speak Spanish or listen to much Cuban music this album was very enjoyable to listen to. Not much to say other than that this album is quite good

Great album. Favourite songs were freedom, break, remember his name, thin line, sum of us, I am somebody and acetate prophets. Haven’t listened to much hip-hop in the past but this was an amazing introduction to the genre. Just got a great energy about it. Definitely a 5 star in my opinion

Pretty good album. Favourite songs: Ain’t no telling, little wing, you got me floatin’, castles made of sand, one rainy wish. The first few songs had me concerned that this wasn’t going to be good but it eventually hit its stride. I did find the panning on some songs annoying. 4 stars

Just alright. Songs like so in love and blue Monday people were quite good but the rest of the songs just dragged on a bit too long. Some decent rhythms but nothing too extraordinary. Would give 2.5 stars if that was an option on this website but will just stick with 2 since it’s not

Quite a good live album. Favourite songs: Emerald, southbound, massacre, don’t believe a word, are you ready. 4 stars

Favourite songs: Stand!, somebody’s watching you, sex machine, you can make it if you try and my brain (zig zig). The albums alright, there’s some catchy stuff but not the best overall. 3 stars

It’s alright. I found the vocal delivery on most of the songs very lacklustre but the instrumentation is enough to bring it up to a 3. Favourite songs: Search and destroy, raw power.

Favourite songs: N.W.O, scare crow, corrosion. I couldn’t really understand anything the singer was saying but the music sounded quite good on most songs. I’m just not the biggest metal fan which is why I can only rate this a 3

Pretty nice. Favourite songs: 5D, I see you, What’s happening, Captain soul,

Eh. Not very good in my opinion. The instruments were boring and the singing was honestly terrible in my opinion. If I had to pick a standout it would probably be the eternals but that’s about it. 1 star

Enjoyed this. Loved the general vibe but dragged on a bit. Still gets a high 4 stars

Despite the actions of Kanye this is a great album. Loved nearly everything on here. 5 stars

Good. Favourite songs were wonder wonder, frustrations and plenty nonsense. Liked most of the stuff on this album but doesn’t stand out too much

Good album. Favourite songs: The boy in the bubble, Graceland, Gumboots, Crazy love, vol.II 4 stars

Alright but way too long. Every song dragged and dragged and just felt repetitive. If this was 45 mins instead of 1 hour 15 then it would be a 4 star but for now it’s a 3

Just no. The instrument were meh but the vocals were awful. Nothing that I particularly liked here. Can’t even pick a stand out song

Really enjoyable. Vocals were amazing, melodies were great, some of the songs were brilliant. But generally some songs felt too slow or like filler so I have to mark it down a point

Amazing album. Favourite songs: Glass onion, Happiness is a warm gun, I’m so tired, Piggies, Julia, Everybody’s got something to hide except for me and my monkey, Sexy Sadie. 5 stars

3 stars. It was alright, just a decent metal album. Could’ve even gave this a two

Amazing. Great from start to finish. Can’t pick favourite songs because they’re all great. 5 stars

This one was good. The sound of it was nice. 4 stars

Thought that this would be just average but I enjoyed it. I especially liked the song ultra violet (light my way). This album just had a nice vibe

Decent album

Decent, nothing too bad nothing too good. 3 stars

The first few songs had me disappointed but from dumb onwards I really enjoyed it and I think it gets up to a 4 star

I thought I’d enjoy this one but really it ended up all sort of sounding samey and bland. I think I can only give this 2 stars

Not a big fan. It’s alright for a country album but I still not big on it. A high 2 star album

Really liked this one

Just a decent album. Nothing else to say. 3 stars

Really enjoyable. A nice relaxing and sooting lyrics while not dragging on forever. 4 stars

Liked this album. Just got a good sound to it

Not the best really. Just quite a boring album. It picked up a bit during the second half but not enough to save it. 2 stars

Not my favourite. I just didn’t really like the sound of it and it felt a bit boring. 2 stars

Very good. Perfect length to not drag on and yet still have plenty to enjoy

Just a decent pop album. 3 stars

Really good. Even without the title track this would still be great but with it on it makes it an amazing album. Love the vocals and piano. 4 stars

This was an alright album. There were some great moments but there was just something off about it. 3 stars

I enjoyed some of the songs on here but quite a few had little value to me. 3 stars

Felt like quite a warm album and was decent but nothing too special just 3 stars

This was alright. I don’t really like those deep vocals that you often get in metal and some of the really experimental stuff was hard to listen to but other than that is quite good. 3 stars

I don’t think it deserves some of the hate that it gets but it still wasn’t for me. I’d probably go with 2.5 stars if I could but I’ll just stick with 2

I just couldn’t really get into this one. 2 stars

Pretty alright. Not the best way to spend an hour. 3 stars

Production felt a bit dated but overall it was alright. I prefer other nas albums. 3 stars

Nice groovy album with a good atmosphere about it. 4 stars

Good chill album. 4 stars

Realistically this is a 1 or 2 star but it was actually an enjoyable enough album to be 3 stars

Came in with low expectations but was surprised that it was actually pretty good. Not something I’ll revisit that much but a solid 3 stars

Pretty good and a nice vibe. 4 stars. By no means as perfect as some people will say

It wasn’t too offensive of listening but just didn’t offer much to me at all. 2 stars

Just eh

Not something I thought I would get into but had some saving graces. Only a 3 star though

Pretty good album. Some nice songs but nothing too grabbing

Decent album. 3 stars

It was decent I guess

Sounded really nice. 4 stars

Pretty cool album with a bunch of different vibes on it

I mean yeah it’s abba but it just felt kinda meh with not much too grabbing. Dancing queen and the title track were good but other than that just 3 stars

Some nice Sinatra stuff and great orchestration. 4 stars

Weird how I got 2 Bossa nova albums in a row with even some overlap in the track list but I have similar feelings to this one as the last one. Very good but not quite 5 stars. 4 stars

Just bored me to death

Some good stuff. Didn’t enjoy it too much though. 3 stars

Really nice chill ambient. 4 stars

If I get some of my pals together and get us to hit something for 40 minutes then is it essential listening before death? Didn’t think so.

There was some really good stuff on here and especially the more energetic songs were amazing and really suited her voice. The slower and more relaxed songs didn’t though and just felt a bit boring or annoying at times. I’ll give it 3 stars.

Couldn’t really get into it much. Some good stuff but not too impressive honestly. 3 stars

Bit indecisive on this one but I think it just about scrapes a 4 star rating

Some interesting stuff, could’ve maybe been shorter but still interesting. 4 stars

Really good stuff. 4 stars

Did not enjoy this too much. Can only give it 2 stars

Really danceable and enjoyable music. 4 stars

Had a nice feel about it, some things felt a bit too long but it made up for it in the limited track list. 4 stars

Just some slow love songs with good vocals. 3 stars
