Peter GabrielWhispy vocals, cool rhythms. Very indie sound. Not the kind of music I normally gravitate towards, but overall a pretty enjoyable album.

Overall a really fun listen. Ambient electronica but with enough interesting bits to keep it moving.
It started really strong, but became sort of generic over the course of the album. The high pitched vocals weren't my favorite
Soaring vocals, electronic tracks underneath. There are a few bangers on the album. Overall it's enjoyable but I wouldn't listen to the whole thing again. I'd pick the singles and listen to them.
Sinatra's voice is smooth and really quite amazing. Great compositions by Jobim. Overall a very enjoyable album.
Good album. Diverse vocals and a cool musical style
Absolutely awesome album!
Seems like a great example of the genre; late-sixties Brit-Pop. Overall an enjoyable listen.
Interesting sound. Very 2000's indie rock
Great album! I had never really listened to this kind of old timey country before, but the minimalist sound (one guitar, one mandolin, two singers in harmony) made for a really catchy, beautiful album. The duality of the voices, one twangy and high, the other in a lower key, made for an Appalachia meets Simon and Garfunkel vibe.

Not the kind of music for me. Very '70's prog but not in a fun way, just in a Frank Zappa or Mr Bungle kinda way. I had a hard time getting through this one.
Funktastic
I am a straight man in my 40's, so I almost skipped listening to this one just because I didn't think it was going to be for me. But in all honesty, this was a pretty good album! The beats were solid and the vocals were on point. TLC's radio hits don't do them justice.
It was ok. Solsbury Hill is a classic, but the rest of the album was kinda forgettable
Being on drugs doesn't make your music good to people who aren't on drugs. Exhibit A: this album.
R.E.M. at the height of their powers. This album shows a lot of musical chops. The bass is forward and obviously heavily influenced by funk music. The sax solo is a nice touch. And Michael Stipe's haunting voice is perfect. Overall a very enjoyable album!
Surprisingly fun and catchy. This was a sleeper hit
Absolutely fantastic album! Bert Jansch's soulful vocals along with his masterful guitar work made for a really wonderful listening experience.
Great overall album. Just really enjoyable throughout. The gravelly voice of John Fogerty along with the catchy tunes carries it through. I could listen to this one over and over again.
This is a rock album for theater kids, as some of the other commenters have said. Honestly, not for me. It felt a little too over-the-top, though I get that that's the point. Meat Loaf's vocals were certainly the highlight of the album, as his range and vocal power is undeniable. If you like Rocky Horror or that kind of thing, I imagine you would really like this album.
A great album by R.E.M. Michael Stipe's vocals really drive the album, and his use of layering is unique and haunting. The drums are an omnipresent force. My favorite song was Orange Crush.
This one felt like Willie Nelson doing his best Frank Sinatra impression. Georgia On My Mind was an absolutely perfect cover and I think the best song on the album. Most of the others were forgettable, with a few head scratchers. Some of the songs seemed to be simply Willie singing random notes within a major scale for no apparent reason. Going into this one, I was excited because I generally like Willie Nelson, but this album was a meh for me.
Overall a really fun listen. Ambient electronica but with enough interesting bits to keep it moving.
Never really a Bowie fan, but I liked this album overall
Surprisingly good album. Lauryn Hill's vocals were soulful and soaring, and the beats were solid. The classroom interludes of the teacher and students talking about love were a little corny, but worked to tie the album together in a very '90's way.
Classic Summer of Love album. The musicality was tight even with the psychadelic stuff mixed in. The vocal harmonies were pleasant to listen to. Sort of a Beach Boys meets the Beatles vibe. It felt a little unpolished at times, like they were sort of figuring things out, but as a whole the album was pretty good.
Pretty good! Parsons and Harris make a nice vocal duo, with his rich baritone and her twangy southern twang balancing each other nicely. The lyrics are melancholic and sad, which is about what one would expect from an album called Grievous Angel.
Doesn't sound like what I imagined a Beach Boys album sounding like. I usually think of them as saccharine '50's-early '60's pop or "Good Vibrations" pop-psychadelic rock, but this was a different. Certainly darker in a way, with way less of the falsetto vocals usually associated with the band. Disney Girls and Surf's Up were the highlights for me. Overall not bad.
An ok album overall. Most of the album kind of felt like filler except for Bohemian Rhapsody.
Boring
Driving vocals, good ol' fashioned in your face rock/punk music. This album was like eating a really good burger. It wasn't trying to be anything more than it was, but it was cooked perfectly, well balanced, and very satisfying. The influences on later pop-punk, new wave, and alternative music were obvious. Great album.
It was ok. Kinda cheesy, but in an earnest way. I've never been a big Springsteen fan, and this album didn't change my mind.
Good post-hardcore punk by Fugazi. I enjoyed this album very much!
I had never heard of this artist or really this style of music before. I really dug this album! Monae's musical style draws from funk, soul, electronica, jazz, hip hop, new wave, synth pop... It sounded a bit chaotic at first, but as the album settled in the sound became more composed and Monae's soaring vocals carried the whole thing throughout. Definitely deserves another listen.
Great album! Soulful, powerful vocals and catchy tunes.
Funky
Great album! Tight grooves, solid vocals, just an overall enjoyable listen.
I've never been a huge fan of Talking Heads, but they're ok. This album exceeded my expectations. The music was innovative and catchy, and the vocal style became less annoying as the album went on.
Fantastic album! I never thought much of Thin Lizzy. Their radio hits always seemed pretty ok, but nothing special. The energy and rock-ness of their live album showcases their talent much more effectively.
