All Ratings

In The Court Of The Crimson King

King Crimson

4/5

Very impressive. Needs more listens, but so far really enjoyed "21st Century Schizoid Man"

The Stranger

Billy Joel

3/5

Not really my jam but the guy is very talented. Iconic tunes.

Funeral

Arcade Fire

1/5

Brothers

The Black Keys

3/5

Chill music, but it all blends together. Hard to tell one song from another.

War

3/5

Pretty classic album. But it weighs heavily on Sunday Bloody Sunday and New Year's Day. The rest of the album was a bit meh.

Tea for the Tillerman

Cat Stevens

3/5

Typical slow background music. Not my jam, but it's pleasant.

You've Come a Long Way Baby

Fatboy Slim

4/5

A banger of an album. Very nice background music with not much to think about. Simple beats yet it works.

The Köln Concert

Keith Jarrett

3/5

Some nice parts but mostly background music. Nothing memorable to be honest.

Follow The Leader

Korn

5/5

Great album. Weird, melodic and heavy.

Trio

Dolly Parton

3/5

Great voices, but nothing memorable

Now I Got Worry

The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion

2/5

I don't see what's so great about this album honestly. Pretty lousy mix and no song really stands out.

Sound of Silver

LCD Soundsystem

3/5

Let's Get It On

Marvin Gaye

3/5

Smoooooth sounds

Getz/Gilberto

Stan Getz

2/5

Like the jazz stuff, but bossa nova is not the most exciting music to be honest.

Tarkus

Emerson, Lake & Palmer

3/5

The title track is great! But everything else is kind of "meh".

To Pimp A Butterfly

Kendrick Lamar

3/5

Not too shabby. Not really my style but I didn't think this album was bad or anything, pretty pleasant.

Stankonia

OutKast

2/5

Not really my jam. I can see why this album is rated highly, but it's just not for me.

Treasure

Cocteau Twins

2/5

Weird.

First Band On The Moon

The Cardigans

1/5

Don't care much for this band. Don't like the vocals.

Can't Buy A Thrill

Steely Dan

4/5

I liked this! Chill music. The guitar and the solos is not the best but the overall composition and vocals I like. And the piano is great!

Heroes

David Bowie

2/5

I fail to see how this album is so iconic. "Heroes" is the only good song on the album. The rest is whatever.

Cheap Thrills

Big Brother & The Holding Company

2/5

Once again an album that is mostly relying on one great song and that's about it. "Piece of my heart" is great, and so is Janis, but most of the songs are a bit meh. Maybe the 60's are just not for me.

Machine Gun Etiquette

The Damned

3/5

Decent album, but Smash it up was really the best song on the album.

Microshift

Hookworms

2/5

Meh

Only Built 4 Cuban Linx

3/5

Gangstah shizz

Abbey Road

4/5

Great album! Not much of a Beatles-fan but I liked this one. I'll definitely listen more to this.

Revolver

Beatles

3/5

Not as good as Abbey Road. A few interesting tunes though.

Lust For Life

Iggy Pop

3/5

Feels like an overall "ok" album but nothing that sticks out. "The Passenger" is the best song which seems typical for these classics that have one great song.

Transformer

Lou Reed

1/5

Boring album. Did not like at all.

Drunk

Thundercat

3/5

No song stood out but it was still a pretty weird and nice album to listen to. I liked it.

Guero

Beck

3/5

Some decent stuff here. Good music but I don't know. Beck isn't the best singer there is.

Strangeways, Here We Come

The Smiths

3/5

Good music actually. Vocals were ok, but they're trumped by the fact that Morrissey seems like an asshat.

Violent Femmes

1/5

Pretty boring album. That one song is not enough.

Tres Hombres

ZZ Top

3/5

Cool. Casual. But again, only one great song.

Brothers In Arms

Dire Straits

4/5

Classic album. Really like this, although I prefer their "no keyboard"-oriented sound more

Good stuff. I prefer the keyboard stuff since the melodies are better with it.

Hot Fuss

The Killers

4/5

Really like this album. Good stuff with a lot of good songs and great composition.
