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…

Let England Shake
PJ Harvey
Some kind of folk album by Mrs Harvey. The stripped down song arrangements are pretty nice, most of the time (well, not the trumpet. I know what she wanted to say, but it's hard to endure). Unfortunately, I do not like her singing on four or five songs. That is a pity, when the voice is clearly the most important thing on a Lo-Fi record. The lyrics...well, they gave nothing to me. I don't wanna say, they are bad, but I really feel no need to dive deeper into war themes and countries invading other countries, right at this time. But this is not Mrs Harvey's fault. So I am conluding with the old british saying:
Make tea, not love!

I was a little afraid to listen to this Album, that I was growing up with, 25 years later. But what can I say...still one of the best Hip Hop albums I know. The Beats are brilliant and raw, Chuck D one of the best MCs. Flavour Flav annoying at times, but without him it would not be Public Enemy.

Hotel California

It's too much. Everything about this Album is too much. It is too overproduced for a solid Rock record, too boring to be remembered (except for two tracks), too many recorded tracks on most of the songs and the lyrics are too bad. They can thank Big Lebowski, that they are still around. A meme, that's what it is.

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.
