Popular Reviews

Blonde On Blonde by Bob Dylan

I just cannot understand, why Dylan is adored by so many people all over the world. I really gave him chances over the last two decades, but it does not work out for me and him. This might be the album I „like“ the most. It has some solid Tracks, but Mr. Dylans „singing“ just does not work for me. Plus, every time I hear a harmonica, it feels like waterboarding. Sorry… Fav: I want you

Thriller by Michael Jackson

I try to see the art apart from the artist, to a certain amount of my own moral point of views. That being said, I just cannot listen to songs named "Baby be mine" or "P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing)" by Michael Jackson, without an awful pain in my stomach. So, the album might musically be real good, but that is not what I am rating here, as I cannot and will not listen to it, again.

Dog Man Star by Suede

I like the dark athmosphere of this record, which is very different to many other records that came out in this period in the UK. But the overexpressed singing, almost like in musicals, did not do it for me. Fav: Heroine

Seventeen Seconds by The Cure

A classic. A Forest is one of their best Songs ever. Although this album is great, the made Even better ones later on.

The Gershwin Songbook by Ella Fitzgerald

What a stupid idea to feature an „Album“ that runs three and a half hours. Did not listen to it.
