Yeah, this is a beautiful album. A relaxing listen with high quality music. Solomon Burke has a voice that sounds equivalent to someone you love giving you a hug. The only fault, but it's nitpicking' is that sometimes you feel like there isn't much variety between songs. Still it's a great listen. 4/5

So... I've never heard a single song by Elvis Costello ever in my life. I can easily say that this is one of the greatest albums ever recorded. A New Wave masterpiece. Costello is an incredible lyricist and quite a proficient guitarist for new wave standards. When it ended, I wished there was more. Non stop quality, non stop fun. Can't wait to listen to more albums. 5/5

What a masterpiece... Not a single boring second, just balls to the wall rock 'n' roll. AC/DC is at their heaviest here and most triumphant. No need to go into details, but everything is spot on: songwriting, musicianship, vocals and in the end... production. This is pure ear candy, one of the best sounding albums of all time. If you have this album as no. 1 on your list of greatest rock albums of all time, I wouldn't mind. It's definitely in that conversation!

Positives: This is a beautiful sounding album. The production is amazing. The artist wears their influences on their sleeve, form The Beach Boys, to America (The album opener sounded like a song of theirs. It was also the song I liked the most), to David Bowie. Negatives: This kind of music doesn't work for me, unfortunately. I find it very boring. It's a thing of personal taste. Were I into this kind of indie/folk rock music it would probably be a 5 star album. Overall, I give it 3 stars. Though it isn't for me, every single song on this album had at least a snippet of music that I was amazed by, though as a whole most of the songs were very forgettable.

I love the Stones. However, this is a generic RnB/RnR album from the early 60s. Mostly forgettable and mostly covers. The fact that it's on this list baffles me, because this list then needs to have at least 5 more Stones albums on it. It's great for what it is, but what it is is nothing special (It wasn't anything new or special when it came out, even)

I don't know much about bossa nova, but this sounds like an all-time classic bossa nova album. The guitar and sax playing are superb, tasteful and not self indulgent as some jazz playing can be, at times. It's definitely an album experience, not a song by song experience. So, if you can, make yourself a drink, have yourself a nice rest in the sun, and play lose yourself in this album.

Completely biased review. The Beatles are my favourite band and this is an absolute no skip 5/5 album for me. Won't elaborate more.

POSITIVES: The first three songs are all-time classics. Really amazing songs. The production is truly incredible. If the album was rated only by how it was sounding, I would say it's one of the best albums of all time. However... NEGATIVES: The rest of the album is almost completely a rehash of the forst for songs, but worse. It's very boring and I couldn't wait for it to end. All in all, it was a very mediocre experience. The album started great and then it went down-hill into indifference for me. I truly believe that U2 is one of the most overrated bands and this album (considered by most to be their best) has, unfortunately, not changed that. 3/5 (more of a 2.5) only because of the first three songs that kick ass.

First time hearing this album, but I can honestly say that this is a post-punk classic. High energy and depressing sounding at the same time. The guitar playing is great and at moment genius, even though it's not very technically proficient. Souxie is, I have to say, a bad singer.. BUT, luckily this is a post-punk album and vocal proficiency doesn't have to be top notch so it works perfectly. I'll be definitely returning to this album and the song Monitor is going into my playlists. 5/5

This album is the reason I love these challenges. This is awesome, combining african rhythms with RnB and getting something so fun for me to listen to. I didn't understand a single word, but I didn't care, I just wanted to dance. I'll be listening to this band frequently from now on, I'm really amazed by them. 5/5

They are one of my favourite artists. Rarely, there is someone who understands music like Daft Punk. Homework is a great album, a triumphant debut. Though it has its flaws, the signs of Daft Punk's genius are there, front and center. It gets 4/5 for me, only because the heights of Discovery are so high, that even some great albums are unable to reach it. With that said, I love this album and if it had been the only Daft Punk album, it would've been a 5/5.

I always go into reggae albums with a feeling that I'll listen to the same thing for 45 minutes, but Bob Marley is a legend for a reason. This is one of the best reggae albums I've ever listened to. However,there are a few filler tracks, but the songsthat are good are some of Marley's greatest. This is a 4/5 for me. A great listen

What a letdown. Before I listened to this album I only knew maybe three songs by R.E.M. (and all three are incredible). I am actually disappointed by Michael Stipe. He has no range whatsoever, and it sounds like he sings the same 5 note melody in every song and it leads into surrounding music being kinda boring. Anytime he goes for a higher note or something different his voice is strained and sounds bad. There are great moments on this album, but all in all I didn't enjoy it. I really hoped it would be awesome. 2/5

So... Slayer. I've been a metalhead most of my life, but next to the rest of the big 4, I've liked Slayer the least. However, the importance, relentless energy, loud statement of one of the most honest thrash metal albums of all time can't help but make me say: - Wow. I don't like many of Slayer albums, and this isn't my favourite. I think it lacks melodic parts that make Seasons in the Abyss and South of Heaven complete triumphs for me. This is still a 4/5. For what it is, it's a masterpiece. Is it something that you can or should endure in one sitting, I don't think so, but I'll still consider this one of the greatest and most important metal albums.

This is one of the most unmemorable albums I've ever listened to. It's not unlistenably bad, but it's boring. There are barely any interesting moments. Won't elaborate more, 2/5

This album sounds like a bridge between the Surfin' Usa Beach Boys, which were a fun sounding, but formulaic band and the Pet Sounds Beach Boys which were a revolutionary musical and recording boundary breakers at the time rivaled only by The Beatles. You can hear the genius of Brian Wilson here that would make Pet Sounds ehat it is and I think this is a great introduction point for them. On the other hand, the negative aspect is that sometimes the songs sound the same and the lyrics are very similar, which is a detriment. All in all, this is a good album. It's not perfect and I'd rate 3.5/5 (so basically 4/5)

I wanted to get more deeply into Bowie,as I knew a dozen songs and loved them. What an introduction into his catalogue. An incredible album, at moments minimal, at moments giant. Bowie is a perfect songwriter. This is a masterpiece (and a lot of people don't think this is his best record) and I can't wait to listen to more. 5/5

I've never been very into industrial metal. Sure, a song here and there, but it's never been exactly attractive. Psalm 69 is a ruthless album. It sounds exactly as an industrial metal album should, feels like you're inside a metal plate factory... but in a good way. Guitar playing is great, the vocals work for this style and the songwriting is generally good. Some songs definitely feel unmemorable and lyrics can sometimes be uncomprehensive. All in all, this is a great, brutal listen. 4/5

A hip-hop masterpiece. From start to finish, this is a complete banger. Every song, every skit are incredible. The sampling is top notch and it 's a bridge between the drum breakdown beats of the 80s and the melodic beats of the 90s. From social commentary to incredible humour, the lyrics are great. It's flawless. 5/5

So. This is one of the best purely rock 'n' roll albums of the time that I've heard. Fats' voice is beautiful and the playing is soulful and tasteful. The only reason I gove it 4/5 is because this album, like many of contemporaries, can be a little bit repetitive. But all in all, a rock 'n' roll triumph

Yeah, this is a beautiful album. A relaxing listen with high quality music. Solomon Burke has a voice that sounds equivalent to someone you love giving you a hug. The only fault, but it's nitpicking' is that sometimes you feel like there isn't much variety between songs. Still it's a great listen. 4/5

So... I've never heard a single song by Elvis Costello ever in my life. I can easily say that this is one of the greatest albums ever recorded. A New Wave masterpiece. Costello is an incredible lyricist and quite a proficient guitarist for new wave standards. When it ended, I wished there was more. Non stop quality, non stop fun. Can't wait to listen to more albums. 5/5

One and a half good songs. The rest is almost unlistenable crap. 1.5/5

This is a great album. 4.5/5 This is peak Lennon songwriting. There are no filler tracks for me, although I don't wanna be a soldier, Mama drags a little too long. The only thing stopping this being a 5/5 is the fact that I always find something missing when I listen to solo Beatles albums. I guess it needs a McCartney song on it, or a Harrison song on it to be completely perfect for me (though Harrison played lead guitar on it). Other than that, this is probably Lennon's best solo record.

So, if I wanted to list the positives of this album, there would be no end to this. However, I have some negatives to list: Most of the tracks have drum machine tracks that sound too robotic and take away from the songs. There are a few songs that Prince takes to some self indulgent experimentation, and it sounds kinda boring and repetitive and it takes away from actually good songs. All in all, this album is great. Prince is a musical encyclopedia and a true genius. An incredible songwriter that hit a stride with this album that opened the door for the masterpiece that is his next album. 4/5

An essential 80s Pop/Pop-Rock album. The songs are memorable and fun, they don't drag for a single second. I've never went further than 3-4 songs by Lauper, but this is an incredible album with two of her signature tracks.

This isn't just a rock opera, this is THE rock opera. A true classic with incredible storytelling, catchy melodies, great riffs and vocal performances (all other instruments are incredible too, it's The Who). It's mindblowing that a 20-something young man wrote all of this. It's a film in your mind, if you close your eyes. Just incredible! 5/5

Side A is incredibly funky and side B is a little bit generic synth-pop. Lyrics are one of this albums strongest points. I like side A very much, it's 5/5, but the other half is mediocre 3/5. So all in all 4/5

A masterpiece. Beautiful voices and harmonies. A classic for a reason. 5/5

This might be the greatest metal album of all time. There isn't a single boring second or a wasted moment. The fact that it was made by a group of 22/23 year olds that displayed unparalleled musicianship, songwriting, lyricism and overall "FUCK YOU WE'RE METALLICA" energy is just unfathomable. I could listen to this daily and never get bored. 5/5 A MASTERPIECE

Interesting album, with an interesting artist behind it. Suba actually describes the streets of Sao Paulo with every track, so if you close your eyes you could see the people, the chaos and in the chaos a kind of harmony. This is a loveletter to a city where a Yugoslavian man found a new home. In the end it ended as a last will and testament of sorts, as Suba died around the time of its release. The mix of Brazilian roots rhythms, bossa nova and electronica and sampling of everyday sounds is incredible. It might drag a little bit, but all in all it is an incredible listen. 4.5/5

What a masterpiece... Not a single boring second, just balls to the wall rock 'n' roll. AC/DC is at their heaviest here and most triumphant. No need to go into details, but everything is spot on: songwriting, musicianship, vocals and in the end... production. This is pure ear candy, one of the best sounding albums of all time. If you have this album as no. 1 on your list of greatest rock albums of all time, I wouldn't mind. It's definitely in that conversation!

Were this an instrumental album, it would've been a 5/5 for me. However... The whispery, "I wanna fuck you" voice ruins it for me. Also, when he actually sings, it's bad. I don't speak french, but I get this is a sexual story (later I read the premise and it's fucked up). All in all a 3/5

Tom Petty is an American legend for a reason. One of his many great albums. Most of the songs are memorable, with a few classics. He is truly a fan of any music that's originally American and wears his influences on his sleeve. Listening to this album, you can also hear how influential he is on later artists. I wouldn't say this is a perfect album, but it's a great album anyway. 4/5

Pop rock classic. Most songs amazing, 2-3 filler, but still good. 4/5

This is apsolutely and desetvedly one of the gratest ablums ever recorded and produced. The complexity of the vocal harmonies and songwriting itself is incredible. The fact that all of this is completly seamless it dumbfounding. Brian Wilson was a genius. 5/5

This is the first time I've listened to a full Dylan album. To call this man a poet is an understatement. The music is phenomenal too. The only thing keeping this from heing a 5/5 is the singing. It is his signature in a way, but it's not really good. 4/5

Going into this album knowing only "The Logical Song", I had my reserves. However... Never did I expect to listen to an actually really good prog rock album with a lot of symphonic elements. Great songs, great listen. I have to learn more about early Supertramp. 4/5

This is the best Pearl Jam album and one of the best debuts. It's still a 4/5 for me. Most songs are Pearl Jam classics, while the 3-4 songs that aren't are worse versions of the classics.

Good album, but it overstays it's welcome. It's too long, at list for a daily challenge or a listen in one sitting. Rundgren is truly a talented multi-instrumentalist and composer and this is a great example. Some songs feel like filler, but that's really expected in a 1.5 hour album. Overall, it's just under 4/5 for me. I'll never listen to this album in its entirety, but will return to many songs.

Can't seem to place this band anywhere. So many influences, from post-punk to mainstreem pop. This is a great album, the guitar work is incredible, though its simplistic. Songs are catchy and memorable. The only problem I have with it are the vocals. I get that it's a stylistic thing, but they get a little tiring, because they're not that good. 4/5

Boring. Minimalistically ambiental. Some interesting moments. Overall, I don't know why it's on this list. 2/5

Don't kniw if its one of the freatest albums ever recorded, but it is great. Mitchell's poetry and voice, with minimalistic musical backing is truly a beautiful listen. Sometimes the folky atmosphere makes it that songs blend together a little. That's the only thing that takes it down to 4/5

It's a pop classic. The hits are the catchiest, most memorable songs. The filler (and there's a lot of it) is actually fun and goes by fast. Britney ruled the end of the 90s and early 00s for a reason. 4/5

If you ever wanted to say that all blues sounds the same, listen to this album where the true masters came together and made a masterpiece, as far as blues can go. A great album! 4/5

When I was a teen I thoughtThe White Stripes and Jack White in general were overrated. The problem is that I thought that without listening to anything other than Seven Nation Army (which kicks ass). I'm 28, I've listened to a full album by The White Stripes and I can only say one thing about them: The White Stripes and Jack White in general are overrated. Now for the album itself: This album isn't good! He can sing, but decently sang on only two songs, the rest is either screaming or unarticulated sounds. The guitar playing is intentionally simplistic, but it's also not played well. The drumming is awful, but at least she can hold a beat. There are decent "moments" here and there and I like one song, maybe two. 2.5/5

If I were rating this album by its prosuction and overall sound, it would be a 1.5/5. What a bad sounding album. However... The songwriting is great and I simply love it when punk/post-punk albums have simplistic, but brilliant guitar parts. The singing is bad, but that's a genre staple and it mostly works in this context. Overall, I didn't think I would enjoy this album when I started, because it really is a bad sounding album, but in the end, I actually enjoyed it very much. 4/5

So... Every song is basically the same. Fade in, bass intro, cymbals and then the rest. The singer is bad, obviously, but it works with the style of music they play. It's a mediocre album for me, though there are standout tracks that I'll add to my playlist. 3.5/5

A jazz fusion masterpiece. I mean it's Miles Davis... The fact that his backing band are some of the greatest fusion names of all time should tell you everything about the musicianship on this album. With that, the pieces themselves are masterpieces. 5/5

This is a great album. I'll be returning to it. Songs were great and though it's alt-rock through and through, they wear their influences on their sleeve and it's a mish mash of great stuff. 4.5/5

Yeah... 5/5. There's only one better Megadeth album and not many thrash albums by any band that are better than this one. Thank you Metallica for kicking out Dave, because we got two incredible bands as a result.

What a weird album. It's good, but it's so strange. An obviously punk band with a horrible singer, but it works. Also... Since when did punks start playing country music??? I've never heard a band that sounded like this and I actually like it. It's a 4/5 for me.

A true masterpiece. Who would've thought that three jewish guys from New York would make one of the greatest hip-hop albums of all time. From the lyrics to the energy to the sampling, there is no second wasted. A 5/5, if there ever was one

First time I heard this album in its entirety... And it doesn't disappoint. For me it's just under 5/5, just because I there is one ballad too many. Don't get me wrong, every ballad is great. This is deservedly an acclaimed album and I can understand why the Eagles are among the best-selling artists of all time.

What can be said about this album that already hasn't been said... Though it's not my personal favourite album by Sabbath, it is still a masterpiece and a 5/5. From start to finish, song by song, it is an incredible genre defining experience. I love this album and this band with all my heart.

Yeah... I've always loved this album. Listening to it again in its entirety after a while, I can say this is truly one of the greatest albums I've listened to. Songwriting, musicianship, singing, production, lyricism... everything. 5/5. A no-brainer.

It's ok. Nothing special for me. She sings ok. The music is ok. A solid 3 to 3.5/5.

The Grateful Dead are a cult band with the most diehard fanbase and I can finally see why. I never listened to the Dead until this album. Is this the greatest band I've ever heard? No. Is this a great album? Yes and more. You get people who love rock, folk, some country and gove them tons of weed. That's how you get the Grateful Dead, or at least it sounds like that to me. I loved every second of this. 5/5

A rare "long" album that doesn't overstay it's welcome. Incredible how many classic songs one album can have. Stevie is truly one of the greatest musical minds to ever do it. 5/5

Great album with some of the chillest music you'll hear. A classic electronic album, but it has two or three too simplistic tracks that are too ambiental and clearly filler. Overall, a 4/5 album for me

This is one of the best albums I've ever heard in my life. I'm a fan of Waits, but this is the first time I've listened to this album in its entirety. It's chaotic in terms of genre. It describes the lives of strange characters and paints raw and dirty picrures of NYC lost souls. Just incredible. 5/5

The album that changed guitar forever. Jimi's debut finally showed the world what was known only in London clubs and that's the fact that electric guitar's monstruous prophet was unleashed upon the earth. Now that I'm done with simping, I have to say that this is far from a perfect album. Jimi is a terrible singer, but it's cancelled out by his guitar playing. The band around him is great too. The production here is far from the best and leaves some things to be desired sonically (it would be fixed in his two later albums. As far as songs go, there are no real misses here, some are just pure classics and others are strong, though sometimes a little forgettable, psychadelic blues pieces. This is a strong album, an incredible debut and in the end it's a 4/5 for me.

So... If The Beatles are the starting point and Oasis is the ending point, this band and this album are in the exact middle. It's a fun listen with a legendary song in it. Not the best album I've heard, but it's not bad at all. 4/5

It's good, but it's weird. More than half of this album sounds like children's music. It's a 3.5 to 4 star albun for me. It's more of a "playing in background" than a "serious listen" album.

This is Jimi's masterpiece. Incredible blues, rock, psychadelia. If it only had All Along the Watchtower and Voodoo Child (Slight return) it would be enough, but the rest is just as amazing. 5/5

One of the most "meh" albums I've heard. It's not bad and unpleasant to listen, but it's a forgettable bunch of songs that start to meld after a while and start to sound the same. There are some interesting moments, but overall I found the album boring, unfortunately. I guess it's not my cup of tea. 2.5/5

5/5 What an album... Non stop fun and non stop high octane rock. I can't even imagine people putting this on the turntable the first time it came out, what their reaction was. From the songs, to the singing, to the guitar, to the keyboards to everything. This is perfection!

It's ok. It's not something I would usually listen to and probably won't listen to much again, but it was really interesting. Experimentation with rock and electronic, melodic and mellow sounds. The songs were mostly forgettable to me, but the experience of the album will stay with me. 3.5/5

A good american rock album. Can't compare it to Hotel California, but listening to this shows what would happen a little while later. It's a solid record with mostly fun and memorable songs and a surprising amount of country influences. I can understand why the Eagles are one of the best selling artists of all time. 4/5

5/5 Great alt-rock. They wear their influences on their sleeve and, in turn, you can hear so many later bands through them. I really didn't expect much, but I was blown away.

If Springsteen can do anything, he can paint a picture with words. A true poetic storyteller. However, that's the only thing good I can say about this album. You can feel that this was a personal project, with his heart and soul poured into it, but it also musically feels very empty. The songs blend together and you can't say when one song starts and the other ends. The minimalism didn't work for me here. It's a shame, this could've been a 4 or 5 star album if it had more instrumentation and variety, but solely on its lyrical merits it's a 3/5.

First time I had to go through a whole country album. It's not unpleasant to the ear, but it's incredibly boring and the lyrics are some of the most vanilla I've ever heard. The last three songs are great. Overall, a 'meh' experience. 3/5

It's good, no doubt about it. Even though her career wasn't very long, she recorded enough music to make a 5/5 best of compilation. However, these individual studio albums don't go over 4/5, because even though there aren't any bad songs, some feel like filler.

Album by album, I'm starting to think that David Bowie might go to no. 1 on my list of greatest singer-songwriters of all time. This album is a weird journey accompanied by psychadelic, folky and avant-garde rock music. A 5/5 album!

This is a great album, but not my favourite Doors album. Some legendary songs are here: Waiting for the sun, Peace frog and, of course, Roadhouse blues. Still, it leaves just a little to be desired for me (or I have in my head other albums by them that are a clear 5/5). 4/5

These post-punk albums always surprise me. The vocals are never good, but the musicianship almost always exceeds expectations. Killing Joke is no exception. It's not perfect, it's a strong 4/5. Bloodsport kicks ass!

Through this challenge I've already listened to Juju and that was a masterpiece. This one can't be compared. The signs of what was to come later were definitely hear, but unfortunately The Scream is a little boring with generic post-punk songs that blend with one another. The Switch is a kick-ass song! 3/5

This is a beautiful and relaxing listen. A true bossa nova masterpiece. The only thing that's keeping it from having a perfect score for me is Joao's vocals. He can sing, but his voice is not much to my liking. If Astrud sang the whole thing, I think it would've been perfection! 4.5/5

Wow... This is one of the best albums I've heard. Not jazz albums, but in all of music. It's hard to describe it, but this is the closest I've heard to organized chaos, but inside the chaos is pure harmony. You can hear that masters of their instruments had so much fun recording this. This was my first taste of Charles Mingus and I can't wait to hear more... or I'll probably listen to this again many times. An incredible record. 5/5

So, Jack White has earned my respect with this album. I've always thought Jack and the White Stripes were overrated and listening to TWS albums here didn't change that. However, Blunderbuss is a whole different beast. From crushing blues rock to beautiful mellow melodies, this album kicks ass. Jack's singing style works for this kind of music and he has and incredible talent for driving and catchy choruses. His guitar playing is raw and symplistic and it doesn't need to be anything else. 5/5, I was really surprised. I can finally somewhat understand why so many people like his music.

I guess I'm a fan of Fela Kuti. This is the first time I've listened to his music and it's great. The mix of jazz, funk, african rhythms is incredible. I wanted to and did dance through this whole thing. Also, Ginger Baker proves time and time again that he was one of the greatest drummers of all time. However, the pieces do go for a little too long and it was unnecessary for the drum solo at the end to be 16 minutes long. All in all, a great and interesting listen. I will listen to Fela Kuti again. 4/5

Full of beautiful songs and melodies. Lirically, you can hear that Grant was describing some of his personal demons and the result is truly good. He is a poet! However, a lot of the songs are ballads that can start to sound like one another and in the end the length of the album makes it overstay its welcome. If there was a bit more variety it would've been a 4-4.5 star album. As it is it's a 3.5/5

The masters at work. Proof that a million notes per second isn't necessary. The most relaxing and beautiful music you will ever hear. What's incredible also is the names that play here, besides Miles. Coltrane, Cannonball, Evans, come on. It's considered to be one of the greatest jazz albums of all time for a reason. 5/5

Interesting album, but in the end, not for me. I can respect the experimentation with different genres and there are some very interesting moments, but there are also some almost unlistenable moments. The production is great. It's a sonically very strong album and omages to other artists are fun. A 2.5/5, a thing of personal taste. Someone who has a preference for this will probably rate it better.

5/5 The run of albums Steely Dan had in the 70s and early 80s was something else, full of masterpieces... and Pretzel Logic is one of them!

They wear their influences in their sleeve. The album is a mish mash of many genres, from rock'n'roll to punk to country, but in the end I didn't find it very memorable. It's a good sounding album, the production is great, but all in all, halfway through I was bored. 2.5/5

This type of country music is some of the most boring and unimaginative music I've listened to. It's music that usually plays on american tv shows when a scene is set in a bar full of cowboys. It's not unpleasant to the ear. The playing is good for what it needs to be and Dwight can definitely sing, but listening to this was a chore. I couldn't wait for it to end. A painfully "meh" experience. 2.5/5

You can hear that an album is important from the very atart and Marquee Moon is like that. The influences of this album can be heard in a lot of later music. The instrumentation is great. Simplistic and genius, because it does so much with very little. The songwriting itself is bery good and even the title track at 10 minutes doesn't lose it's appeal. My only problem with this is the singing. It's not that good, but it kinda works. 4/5

This is the whitest, folky, country blues album I've ever heard. Jack is an incredible storyteller, but in the end, this was an incredibly "meh" experience. 3/5

A frustrating listen. There probably could've been good songs here, but the production choices, such as guitar sounds, kill this album and at times make it almost unlistenable. There are some good moments, but they are so few. The singing is another level of awful too. 2/5, barely...

5/5 I love this album, but I'm biased and I've heard it a million times. They are by far my favourite band of all time. Won't elaborate more.

A perfect album for a rainy day. It's a particular vibe and I wouldn't be able to listen to this at any time. The jazzy electronica and great vocal lines sang by an incredibly beautiful voice make this one of the chillest albums I've listened to. 4/5

It's ok. Nothing special, to be honest. Punk/post punk, blended with some country elements. There are a standout song or two, but mostly a forgettable experience. 3/5

5/5 Incredible hip-hop album. First time I've heard of this group and I've instantly become a fan. The voices, cadences and rhymes are perfect, but what shines equally is the beats. Beats are very out of the box and alternative and all in all, the final product is perfection.

It's too long and overrated. There are great songs, absolutely, but there are also many 'meh' songs. No studio album should ever be two hours long. Overall, a listenable, but overblown and self-indulgent album with a few really incredible bangers. 3/5

This isn't my favourite Maiden album. I don't think this is Maiden's best album... but, man, is it a great and important album nontheless. I don't like the chorus of Invaders and I don't care for Gangland completely, but the rest is pure perfection. Every other song is an Iron Maiden classic played live to this day. Just incredible! 5/5

Judging only by side A, this would've been another 5/5 for Bowie. However, the instrumental tracks on side B are hit and miss for me. They're good, but they really break the flow of the album. This is still a really strong 4/5. Bowie was incredible!

A hip-hop masterpiece. Great beats with funny and catchy lyrics. The Pharcyde were the masters. 5/5

No CCR album is a 5/5 for me. There is always filler, but because of that their best of compilations are among the greatest albums released. There are still classics here, and the rest is great, but forgettable. 4/5

It's an okay psychadelic rock album, but I don't think it was that special even in the mid 60s. I don't think that it aged really well, sound wise. As far as the songwriting goes, it's ok, and the songs are played very well. 3/5

Drake could play the acoustic, no doubt about it. I'd gladly steal many snippets of his music. However, this is probably the most boring album I've heard through this challenge. It was so boring that I almost DNFed it. 1.5/5

A 3/5, I guess. The few songs I heard by Radiohead before, I mostly didn't like and I mostly don't like this album. The ambient electronica is insufferably boring most of the time, but there are definitely moments on this album that are really great. Why this album is considered a masterpiece, I'll never know.

Meh. Can't find a single other word. Just meh. 2.5/5

A true blues master at work. Incredible band, incredible guitarist, incredible voice. Nothing more to be said. 5/5, an album that shouldn't end so quickly

A fun album. I'm usually don't like these early 2000s indie bands, but The Zutons are a fun listen. A lot of times they sound like they're straight out of a Tarantino film and they call back to older sounds with a modern twist. I won't probably be going back to this, but it was a fun experience, nontheless. 4/5

Hip-hop classic. Every single song is a banger. Snoop has one of the chillest voices and his flow is so fluid. As far as beats go, Dre is always at the top of his game, G-funk at its best. 5/5
