Decent and surprising, considering it's Radiohead. 3/5

This is a soundtrack to a 30-minute elevator ride. It's quite similar to Getz/Gilberto, so why did I enjoy it, but not this? Simple, Astrud is on the former, and this is just cool jazz jamming. É luxo só is dope, with an upbeat dance rhythm, and the opener Desafinado is really lush. It's definitely worth checking out. If anything, it's worth as background music.

It's my fav Dylan album. So beautiful in its execution and storytelling 5⭐

Lou Reed really outdid himself here. Probably his most emotional album album ever. So intimate and powerful ⭐⭐⭐⭐

I bet this was amazing in '68 when it first got released, but in 2025, its a dusty remnant of the past. Summertime Blues is still cool, but the rest is a product of a time and didn't age that well. 2⭐

12 songs, 12 dreams. If you take the dreams and you divide them by the four seasons, you get three dreams per season, which is oddly related to the amount of stars I'll give to this album. ⭐⭐⭐

As 3/5 of an album a 3/5 album can be. Musically great with a lot of talent, but just not my thing. Asylum and Crime of the Century stand above the rest, though, but not enough to carry, sadly. The cover is majestic, tho. ⭐⭐⭐

The twee aesthetic still sucks ass. Also, None of them are named Belle nor Sebastian. ⭐

Alright. The highs are good, but the lows are boooooriiiiing ⭐⭐⭐

Uuuuuh, one of the best metal albums of all time. Amatzing musicianship + great atmosphere. Plenty of space for improvisation, which they did live. ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Eeh, I think Ryan's fallout lingered around far longer than it needed to be, which may or nay not be due to his own actions as a musician (spoiler alert: it's due to his questionable ideas and ethics as a musician). He started his solo career off well, with a collection of melancholic and introspective songs that are broken off with a few rockers here and there. Some characterize this one as overindulgent and a bit egocentric, but let's face it, who hasn't been a bit over the top when it comes to heartbreak? The songwriting is decent to good, and the atmosphere is overall a net positive, but where he fails is the engagement aspect. You'll start the album, doze off, think its the fourth song, only to see you're at the back end of it. Definitely not bad, but God, does he sometime feel like a broken record on this one. ⭐⭐⭐

Uuuuuuh, okay? Gotta start somewhere, I guess. ⭐⭐

It's good, but I'm trying really hard to find something specific to cling onto. The Foo Fighters debut is that prototypical alt rock album everyone would go on to copy in the 00s. ⭐⭐⭐

Uuuuuh, moving on I guess? Decent, but nothing spectacular ⭐⭐⭐

This is the epitome of a fun album throughout. Sadly, front-loaded with great tracks like the anthemic Girls Just Want to Have Fun and When You Were Mine (which has Prince's hands all over), but losing track by the end. Not bad, but definitely not amazing. Still, if this somehow found itself in my collection, I'd probably keep it and spin it sometimes when I just want to let my feminine side free. ⭐⭐⭐

Dude Repeater is such a banger of an album. I've widely dismissed it for some reason, which is a crime in itself, but what's even worse is that I DID listen to it a while back and STILL stood by that opinion. At its core, rudimentary and angry punk, so to say, with some very passionate delivery, and tons of inspiration in each song. Turnover and Repeater have a memorable riff to them, with a great rhythm backbone, and songs like Blueprint and Shut The Door evoke the emotional side of punk. ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Booooooring. ⭐⭐

Uh, really does nothing for me. Can't deny that there's passion in her voice, though. ⭐⭐⭐

Mmmmm, the sweet sounds of the desert. If you're out here looking for some flashy playing, over-the-top singing, and theatrics, you've come to the wrong place. Tres Hombres is a laid-back odyssey and a homage to the desolate American highways, featuring simple rhythmic playing and alternating sparse arrangements, like on " Hot Blue " and " Righteous, " or some heavy, rousing tracks like the first three songs. Side A blows it out of the water with the infectious compositions, while the other side is a bit more meandering (even if it has La Grange). Still, a really great album. ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Curse you Prince for creating some maestral pop composition and then following them up with a crap ton of dance fillers. ⭐⭐⭐

Weird how the algorithm decides to recommend this: a) Just a few days after Shaka Zulu, the music that inspired Graceland, and b) Just days after I left for college, and by extension, my record collection at home, which had this LP Anywho, this album was my father's childhood, and he often told me the story of how he worked on local fields (omladinske radne akcije, za moje balkance) whilst listening to this cassette on the deck, so I always felt obliged to write at least SOMETHING about this one, yet it never materialized until now, partly because it came and went so many times and I just had to sit down and write something. Obvious historical snippets aside, this is a nice pop album that's very easy on the ears. Combining something that's relatively boring like indigenous South African folk with Paul's ability to create some worthwhile and timeless melodies is a recipe for success. Probably a weird analogy, but this one feels like the process of urbanization of a once rural outback area, where the body of modernization is rampant, but the rural spirit is still among the brick and the mortar. ⭐⭐⭐

I find this boring to the moon and back. As if these guys don't have the talent and knowhow on how to craft a proper 3-minute song, so they just make each song sound like the sounds coming from switching channels until you see there's nothing on, so you turn it off. Maybe if it was an EP of a few songs, but even then, it would be shoddy. ⭐
