It was very good. Not listened much to this kind of soft rock blues sort of stuff, was a nice intro. Some very enjoyable songs. Favourite was probably the opening song(2nd in the album).
Objectively good album, but not for me. Stan was good(probably as it was more suitable for people like me). Not a fan of the skits, put me off it.
Great sound, similar to a lot of stuff I'd listen to. Neighbourhood #3 was a favourite.
Timeless classic. Simply easy listening. Didn't find it particularly notable other than the big hits however. Perphaps will enjoy more on relistens.
Wow. Not sure how I havent listened to this before, but definitely enjoying it. Definitely a masterclass country musician.
Great voice, great covers, nothing much more to say. And he did this whilst partially blind and constantly sick
It's just fine. I appreciate Elton John as an all time great, and he has some fun songs, but they do nothing for me. Pleasant listening. perhaps one day I'll realise exactly what I'm missing out on.
Prog rock album! Thought it reminded me of king crimson; turns out it's a supergroup containing a member of king crimson.
Parts seem like a random amalgamation of noise often, but imagining being in the crowd and the atmosphere at those parts justify it. Especially considering this is a live album recording. It's hard to imagine how special this would sound compared to most other music made at the time - otherworldly.
Perhaps not my go to easy listen, but undeniably great.
Sounds good, easy listening, don't feel there's that much to say. simply enjoyed it.
Good first impressions, opener is great. Similar style to some stuff I already listen to. the mix of brass with the guitar is wow! Never heard anything particularly similar, very unique.
Listening to the International Robot Sessions became a bit of a drag but the main album was good. Early punk rock so its a bit before my taste - cool to see how it has influenced later music.
Very good guitar playing. As expected Janis Joplin is an incredibly good singer. Very impressive.
Quite good! Enjoyed it a lot more than I expected to. Should listen to their other albums.
Absolute classic. Haven't listened to any of the folk or country greats before, so a really interesting listen. I follow a few contemporary artists like Jesse Welles who are currently very big and its very cool to see how he's influenced by the greats.
Strange. Electronic stuff that was interesting but not really for me. Reading about it, it is clear it was hugely influential in electronic music and i can respect that, but wouldn't listen again.
Interesting piece. Not particularly enjoyable, but very impressive for the time. I couldn't imagine listening to this in 1968. Cool effects and stuff, flower punk with the overlaying voices was certainly interesting.
Instantly recognisable from the start. stones are very good. reminds me how much i want to learn proper blues guitar. Wild horses obviously is very very good. Enjoyable listening all the way though. vocals are also very good. Can't say a bad word about it really.
Guitar intro is good. Can definitely see the Hendrix inspiration. However it's definitely not my kind of thing. Last song, not a fan of the weird farting samples they have, but its music i suppose.
Weird. The guitar was really nice at points, reminded me of pink floyd. e.g. in "including the ballad of 32" but not particularly fan of the moaning in the background?? obviously with this album name its not unexpected however that doesn't make it a pleasurable listening experience.
Overall quite a well put together album though regardless of it being all over the place, definitely works, just not my style. Definitely enjoyed the second half more. Strange in the shift, The Power of Love, massive hit etc, such a change from a lot of the album. very sporadic.
Actually enjoyed listening to this more and more, found it a slog at first and then it picked up, my ears seemed to find it more interesting.
Masterpiece. Iron Man, War Pigs, Paranoid, all timeless classic. Unbelievable to imagine buying and listening to this in 1970.
RIP Ozzy Ozbourne. This album landed the day of his death, a good homage.
Come Alive(war of the roses) is quite good. I am quite impressed at the range of genres shown here.
I appreciate Bowie as one of the greats of all time, but I also found I didn't think much of this. Just didn't interest me, but not bad by any means.
Some great guitar playing! Didn't think much of this one though. Not my style, though I have to give it credit for being largely influential.
Wow! really enjoyed this. Haven't listened to much stuff by ELO, other than Mr Blue Sky - certainly are overshadowed by that hit, as there are a lot of gems on this album. Birmingham Blues, Turn to Stone, and Wild West Hero were some good ones.
Just okay. Nothing wrong with it, nothing great as well.
Kind of what i'd expect from an album from 1969. But it sounds quite nice so far, openers are always good.
Some songs in french?! Sounds nice
It's RHCP, which means its good. Never listened to a full album of theirs before, definitely an enjoyable experience. Unbeatable mix of guitar and bass.
Interesting to listen to Kiedis' lyrics. Some are better than others.
It's that kind of rock and roll i am very much a fan off, and want to learn to play on both guitar and piano. Can't be beaten.
Very impressive singing.
1 - the ending with the drum fill? and the guitar solo is amazing.
3- mix of poetry, music? Quite an impressive performance.
6- nice backing guitar. again vocal performance is very impresive, all fits very well together. quite the fan actually.
7- just reinforces what i've said before. interesting lyrics, good performance.
Surprisingly really enjoyed this. Not the usual kind of thing I'd put on it but it was very lyrically interesting, and is of course my kind of basic rock and roll, with a little added complexity. Becoming quite a fan of spoken music at the moment.
A new level - sick opening riff, metal guitar is unbeatable.
Walk is of course the big hit, and i can see why, such a good riff.
Dimebag is an insanely good guitarist. Would be nice to play some of his stuff one day.
Lyrical performance in This Love was really cool. Outro was unique as well.
Interesting. Have only heard of Can previously as Radiohead covered their "The Thief", which led me to listen to Delay 1968.
This one was very interesting - first impression was surprising, seeing only 4 songs. I can't really say much about them, other than they were particularly atmospheric. I think I find this kind of music more of an acquired taste. All in all, not bad, not good.
Not my kind of music, never really listened to anything like this before. It's interesting.
I can see the appeal, but I personally didn't really enjoy it.
Really enjoyed this actually. Didn't take note of much songs by themselves but overall the album was very enjoyable. I think the live recording improved it as well. Wish I could play piano like that!
Pretty good! Don't really have much to say. Kind of similar to some stuff I've listened to before, did enjoy it, but just didn't find it particularly interesting or impactful to me.
Really weird, lots of rambly spoken verse. Not really my kind of thing first listen and I didn't enjoy it all that much. but I can also imagine liking it if i listened to it more.
Interesting I guess. Feels like something I would actually go and listen to, probably put on at night to relax. Some particularly soothing piano parts + the basically spoken vocals were nice, leb wohl was enjoyable.
Masterpiece. Knopfler's virtuosic playing is just unbeatable. I don't understand how he does it. Add in the drums and bass, and well you've got something special. And this was their first album! Legendary.
Paper tiger's guitar solo combined with those strings is just lovely.
Quite a diverse soundscape in this album so far. Really impressed with it, the range from 3's acoustic quality, to some of the more ethereal sounds we see. And it still flows well.
Had only heard Beck's "Everybody's gotta learn time before this". which is a shame. This was a good listen. Gonna have to give it a 4 to be consistent with other ratings, but this is undeniably really good.
I don't know what I was expecting to hear, but it certainly wasn't this! Quite a pleasant surprise, and a good listen. Did find it dragged on a bit towards the end and I think the first half was a lot stronger than the second. But well worth the listen. Reminded of BCNR towards the end actually.
Quite impressed for a pop album, the theming and the tracks is put together particularly well, and I can't say I disliked listening at any point really. Uses R&B influence well and is a pleasant enough listen. It's fine.
Rather eclectic! Middle-class heroes, such strange almost spoken verse, really draws you in. Such a hectic, constantly fluctuating nature, aggressive to calm so fast, and the music perfectly complements it. Wasn't expecting to enjoy this so much! A nice blend of genres I enjoy.
Amazing album, lots of nostalgia from a few years ago with this one. Just perfect.
Not my kind of thing, but it was still off to a strong start. Enjoyed perhaps the first half. But gets a bit boring, samey, and the second half didn't have much to offer.
Jackson was obviously a master of his craft, and I suppose you can see it in his work. But I quite simply just didn't enjoy listening to this, it didn't hit in any of the right places.
Perhaps I'll read this review one day and wonder what was going through my head, but I can't give this any more than a 3. I recognise that Michael Jackson was an amazing artist, but his music means nothing to me personally. Probably doesn't help that the guy slept with kids.
Really good, as expected. Just really enjoyed listening to this. Can't say its a masterpiece by any means, just another album by Presley. However it also cannot be knocked.
What an album.
Masterpiece after masterpiece. Don't think I've ever listened to this all the way through - been missing out. some new favourites. just perfect. Powerful vocals, amazing guitar playing, beautiful lyrics. Wow.
God this was terrible. Really didn't enjoy this. I generally have an open mind to all music, and that includes rap - I appreciate quite a few rap artists. But listening to this felt like meaningless drivel and I think its one of the few times where I was actively counting down to the end of the album. Just unpleasant.
Thought it was fine a few songs in - good listening for the genre(to me) perhaps. Then it just dragged and dragged, nothing felt new and it just wouldn't end.
I don't whether this is a particularly influential or appreciated album or not, but it means nothing to me.
Amazing. Suppose it's kind of ironic straight after giving Straight Outta Compton a 1, but what makes this(and most music) album for me is the playing. Every single track on this album just hits hard back to back, there's not a single slump. I am in awe of Morello's guitar playing, it's everything from unbelievably creative and weird to riffs that I could listen to all day. The rage and anger works so well and is really unbeatable for a protest album.
Bit undecided on this one. Really liked some of the guitar parts, some really good playing. Riffs just really hit right. But I also found it dragged on quite a bit and towards the end I wasn't really enjoying it anymore.
I quite enjoyed this. it has the same indie pop sound of a few artists I listen to yet I've never heard of them. I can't say it's anything particularly special but I think I'll listen again. I have found that I often grow to like this kind of music more over time.
Just classic. Can't beat ABBA. A great listen all the way through.
I didn't think that much to this one. Dylan is obviously considered one of the greats and I can't bash his music, but this album just didn't do anything for me.
I had obviously heard of Prince before listening to this, but I had never really listened to him properly. This was good.
A bit undecided on this one when I listened to it. Some of it good, but I think more of it mediocre. Didn't think it was anything special.
The band of my childhood. Such nostalgia listening to some of these tracks. Impeccable guitar writing. loud, noisy, unapologetic. Just really quite good.
Considering I am not a rap fan and likely never will be, I actually found parts of this quite bearable. Felt more musical than the other rap this has thrown at me, I think having so many different people work on it led to some pretty varied, but decent results. Wouldn't listen again, but I can't bash it much.
Just okay I suppose. Easy listening, absolutely nothing wrong with it.
The further I got through this the more I liked it. Perhaps as an instrumental it's considered boring, but I don't think this fall under music for the sake of music. Really well written parts, especially the violin. Was nice while studying.
Pretty decent I guess. Surprising I hadn't listened to this already, although I am not a particularly great fan of britpop.
A good listen, some really good tracks.
It was fine. I generally listen more to the instruments than the lyrics in music, and I have really enjoyed albums in different languages before(especially Spanish), however this one just didn't really stick with me.
I think it is very easy to argue that this is not Radiohead's best work, and I personally would say that Amnesiac isn't even within their best 5 albums. However, I also think that if any other band(such as the flagships of the dying britpop craze) had produced this, it would've been remembered as their magnum opus.
I am extremely biased with Radiohead, but they are undeniably masters of their craft, and this album is no exception.
Pyramid Song is undeniably beautiful.
You And Whose Army? / I Might Be Wrong / Knives Out is an absolutely outstanding 3 track run perhaps only rivalled by some on Ok Computer.
Understated tracks like Dollars and Cents are still outstanding.
I can't say much to Hunting Bears as it is a transitional piece, however it certainly works well as part of the album as a whole.
And of course Life In a Glasshouse is just amazing - Yorke's whine with the horns cannot be rivaled.
For an album which is essentially just the leftovers from Kid A(an absolute masterpiece), this is utterly brilliant.
Never heard of these before but thats what this list is for. Really enjoyed this one actually, great sound. Not the greatest fan of the Satisfaction cover though - it was unique and they've made it theirs but it just didn't hit the same way the original does.
I understand John is one of the greats, however I had never really taken much notice of his work. Before my time. This was a brilliant album. Really enjoyed the instrumental soundscape in addition to his excellent vocals. The opener was amazing.
This site has already thrown Beck's Sea Change at me, which I thought was pretty good. I knew this was an earlier album, but wow I did not expect this. Completely different. Some parts good, some parts not so much, however I was consistently impressed with the variety in this album and likely all of Beck's work.
It was very okay. Some great rock, and I wish I could play guitar like that, but it felt to drag on and on, very samey.
More Costello. Fine the first time, but I didn't need another of his albums in my life. Boring, dragged on. Didn't appeal in any way really. Maybe good background music.
Really nice. I should listen to more reggae, thoroughly enjoyed this.
Really nice easy listening. some lovely tracks, and a beautiful voice.
Favourite track - beginner's luck
Can't beat King Crimson when it comes to class prog. Eccentric, exciting, certainly a worthwhile listen.
perhaps compared to their other albums it isn't much however
Some easy listening. Great tracks on here that I hope to return to. Didn't feel particularly special or unique but thats not always required from music.
Jazz is a big hit and miss for me but I found I really quite enjoyed this. Very sporadic instrumentation, chaotic yet so technical and precise. Pretty cool.
80s 80s 80s. maybe the embodiment of the music of that era? I did really enjoy though. Just solid all the way through.
Very nice. Particularly a fan of the jazz parts. Favourite track - I Can't Stop Loving You
It was very average. I couldn't say I despised it by any means but I found it very boring at some points, with some spots of interest which soon faded. It feels harsh to give this a 2 but I can't justify a 3.
Favourite track - Mother's Daughter
The Who is one of those bands that I've been told to listen to and previously I've never really thought much of them. This album was a real introduction to exactly why they are so good.
Great playing, great tracks, and an amazing atmosphere from the sound of it. Would've liked to be there.
It's not quite a 5, but it does feel harsh giving this a 4.
It's jazz. I suppose it could be interesting, but I just don't really care for it. Miles Davis is undoubtedly one of the greats and I can appreciate this from a technical perspective but I would never choose to put it on. Although was good background studying music.
Really quite good. Great musicality all the way through, highly enjoyable. Felt a bit slow at the start/middle of disc 2 but otherwise super solid. A higher 4 but I can't justify a 5.
Wow at the guitar playing in contusion.
Never knew Gangsta's paradise had used Pastime Paradise. Perhaps I live under a rock.
A really good one. I think it slowed down a bit at times but in general very very good. Tempting to give this a 5.
Cherub Rock - what an opener. I can tell this is going to be really good. Amazing solo - I am a big fan of solos which bend like that, and when the vocalist sings over a soloing guitar - this song does it so well.
Intro to hummer - that little bass slide(I think) is lovely.
Favourite track - Mayonaise. very very good.
What an album. Had heard of The Smashing Pumpkins before but never took the time to really listen to them. I should do so now.
Lovely bass. A fantastic opener.
Real nice all the way through. Proper disco. Some great listening quite different to what I normally would put on. It just feels familiar, like I've heard it all before. Perhaps that signifies it's a bit samey, but it's consistently enjoyable.
Definitely want to consider exploring this genre further.
I have heard of the Grateful Dead before and I understand they are very very good.
However I didn't enjoy this introduction to them. I think if I heard this live my opinion would be different, but listening to this was boring.
Lots of incessant noodling around, felt like I was getting nowhere. I'm normally a fan of guitar parts but this just felt meaningless. I imagine I'm missing the point.
Some parts were enjoyable - Favourite was Death Don't Have No Mercy.
Listening to a few of their other songs now, I think they remain a band worth listening to. Perhaps just not this album.
2/5 for the decent ones.
Felt like I was listening to French ASMR. Some good instrumental bits from time to time but certainly nothing special. Perhaps good for those who speak French, or who take the time to understand it. But even then, the way the story is delivered simply didn't interest me.
Very very good. A favourite band of mine from a few years ago so writing this with a lot of nostalgic bias. Really enjoyed listening through this again however and I don't question my old music taste. A bit different to what I normally like I suppose which is cooler than anything else.
Favourite track - Of Moons, Birds & Monsters probably. Lots of contenders for that title.
I think its meant to be really good. I've definitely seen it listed as one of the best albums of all time. In fact I believe I listened to this a year or so ago for that reason, and just like then, I found it quite boring. Nothing felt particularly intruiging, it was just fine. Certainly nothing wrong with it.
Perhaps this is because I haven't lived long enough to really see music evolve in real time. Comparing this to the music I like to listen to now, it seems average, subpar. But when it was released maybe it was revolutionary to those who listened.
Found it very boring, insgnificant. Didn't think much of it at all. Not unpleasant, just background music.
Bordering on a 3. Feels very influential, like it has set foundations for a lot of the music I listen to today, even whilst not being particuarlly interesting itself. So many genres within just one album.
