1001 Albums Summary

Loved the melodies and production on this one, but overall this kind of music is kinda unsettling for me for some reason

There are some redeeming qualities in few songs... But still not enough to rate it 2. I've got so bored :( I Don't know why people call it garage rock or blues rock. It's so bland and the album lasts forever

I only heared couple of songs from The Kinks before. I like this. It's for albums like this one I have entered this challenge. This is a good stuff.

Some songs are good, but production is definitely not my cup of tea. Alanis's voice is fine.

Easy 5. Begining of heavy music, great sound, great songwriting, great musicianship. Loved it since I was 10 y.o. and will love forever. It's where started for me in music and all this years after I love to get back there. R.I.P. Ozzy It's not on this list, but if you were not familiar with Sabbath before and liked it, check Sabotage (1975), best Sabbath album in my opinion.

First time listening to Bowie album in full. Some moments I kinda liked, but I still don't know what people find in him? Like not in an offensive way, but I can't figure why his music appeals to so many people. Well, I hope other albums will give me the answer. This one has it's moments, but sometimes I got bored by a lot of repetitions. Sorry, David, only 3 so far, though I had bigger expectations.

Probably a duck syndrome, but I always felt weird relistining this album, because it doesn't works for me without movie... A lot of great songs, but short throwaways and reprises make the listening less enjoyable for me. Still a lot of great stuff and good concept and surely one of the albums you must hear before you die, but movie is even more essential

Yay! Heared some Roxy Music (Stranded was my guilty pleasure in my gatekeeping teenage years), but this one felt even better. This one got me excited from the first song and kept me entertained till the end of the album. I will definitely relisten to this again (actually already did). Second great discovery from this project so far.

I heared the name Pogues, but never heared a note from this band before... Haven't heared much of Celtic Punk either, so I didn't know what to expect. And I liked it more than I would expect it. I haven't heared much punk or even rock here, though. This music is so joyful. So much rooted in folk, but still quiet modern. It has so much of NATURAL APPEAL, without even trying to get it. Like, you can put this music to people any age, any social status, etc, and I believe that these melodies and sounds will make them joyful. The arragements are great, but even more of this words are about Shane MacGowan (R.I.P.). He sounds like a rough drunkard, but with so much appeal, that I believe I finally found music that no one will be annoyed by. It just sounds so happy, without being sugary or fake in any way. I don't know how often I will go back to this record, and how much I will listen to that style of music per se, so I didn't know if I will rate it 4 or 5. But hey! What the heck. I will rate it 5, just because it's so charming and brings as much of a naked pure joy as only music can bring

Some good moments, but got a bit bored towards the end. Wanted to give it 4 stars at first...

Heared VU&N and WL/WH before, liked some of it, hated some of it. But it puzzled me. VU doing (mostly) soft pop rock album? I don't know how to feel about it. Songs are nice, but only What Goes On and Murder Mystery really caught my attention. In places it's more accessible than stuff from the first two albums, but in return, it's less rewarding

Heared title track since my teenage years and love it since then. Haven't heared the other tracks until today. They are all good, but title track is one of the best guitar moments in the whole history of music (and I'm not even big fan of the genre or band). Great stuff!

Not a big reggae fan, but this was funny and relaxing. Nice listening

Songs and Wille's voice are good, but too much a lack of variety for me...

Melodies and voice are nice, but extremely mellow for my taste

Sometime the choice of the albums on this list for me. It includes Ace Of Spades, but doesn't have Overkill and then there's live album which includes most important songs from both of these albums? Well, it's Motorhead, so I won't complain. One of the best heavy metal band in the world at their peak. Philthy's intro to Overkill sounds like WW3, Fast Eddie shreds even more than on the studio version of the songs and, well Lemmy is Lemmy. Legandary stuff. Turn it up!

This is probably the first pop album that I liked. I can sence a ton of psychodelia here, melodies and vocals are soothing. Favourite song: Little Bird. Loved the first part of album more

If we'll narrow it to "10 Albums You Must Listen Before You Die", this one still gets its spot in the list

Some moments (like Miles) are truely enjoyable, but repetetive sound collages and spoken words section are too much for me. This album has like 10 minutes of enjoyable music for me and the rest feels like too long intros and outros.

I joined this site because I wanted to broaden a horizons and challenge myself with stuff that I would never would listen to myself. Now it's third week and so far randomizer mostly feeds me my favourite heavy rock bands, that I would listen to anyway? Damn! :) Well, this is album is famous because of its synth-driven hits Jump and Panama, but the guitar-oriented stuff on this album is actually as good like on an earlier ones. I'd give it 4.5 if it was possible, just because while they are fun songs, Jump and Panama will never have this extra coolness factor as I'm The One, Somebody Get Me A Doctor or Romeo Delight. Still amazing stuff!

I only heared Bitches Brew before (15 years ago), and it annoyed the hell out of me. Either, this is so much better/different or I have became older smarter enough. I enjoyed all of this album. Sorry Miles, I don't hate you anymore

Some nice melodies and moments, but tooooo samey for my taste :(

Nah. Some good moments are good, but bad moments are all over the place and so annoying and neutralizing anything good about listening experience.

As much as I am a sucker for 70s rock, I never really liked Bad Company. I remember how I was excited in my early teens - I like Mott The Hoople, I love King Crimson and Free was (and is) one of my favourite bands since I was 12 years old. I REALLY wanted to love Bad Company, because I loved all the musicians. But I couldn't. Musicianship is fantastic, but songwriting is just boring. There's some nice hooks in Can't Get Enough and Movin' On and listening to it again today I realized that Seagull is great. But the rest of this stuff is just painfully unmemorable, when you think of what talented people are behind this one. This is probably the only one hard/blues rock from 70s that will get 3/5 from me. ALBUM THAT YOU SHOULD LISTEN BEFORE YOU DIE INSTEAD: Free - Tons Of Sobs (1968).

Wow... I heared a couple of his songs beforehand and I knew he was good... I didn't know he was THAT good. So enterntaining and his guitar playing is like Hendrix before Hendrix and Page before Page. Why it had to be only 33 minutes long???

Now I see why people like him! I somewhat enjoyed it too. But I found the first part of the album more engaging than second. Nice listen, though!

It's like he's trying too hard, but still has no talent. This was a torment.

Paul McCartney is one of the greatest composers of all time and one of my favourite people that ever graced our planet with their existence. But sorry, I'm biased on this one... When I was a kid I really wanted it to be as good as Beatles, but it's not. It's still not as good as Beatles. S/T, Jet and couple more songs are as good, but not the rest. So only 4. Sorry, Paul....

Me and my friends used to make fun of them back in the day... But it's incredible how well it aged. What seemed to be annoying 20 years ago, doesn't sound bad at all. Still not a fan of more alternative moments, but there's more of classic rock in it that I remember. How could they be hated so much? A lot of innocent exciting loud fun there. Meg's drumming is cool

It's atsrted so promising with Kizza Me... I knew that it was supposed to be dark and depressive, but a lot of stuff here is also mellow, which is downside for me. Songs work good as is, but in context of an album it really miss upbeat songs. Looking forward to getting previous albums. I never heared Big Star before and I suspect some of them might be 5 for me.

It's like so bland. The only reason I give it 2 stars: a) it's not annoying when playing in background b) there's Frank Zappa cover here (althought I'd prefer more Zappa albums in list)

Double Bass and 19-200 were good. But overall just too long and repetitive. Some nice stuff here and there but never understood why they would appeal to everyone so much.

Patti is my favorite woman in rock music. Love her. This is just great

Some really great moments (Music is Love, Tractions in the Rain). 2 longer songs feel like they are a bit lost in direction in a while, so only four.

Wow, that was good! I think it'll become one of my favourites album in jazz. Very interesting.

Better than I excepted, but still too edgy for my taste. Loved and was surprised by the dynamics on this album. I finally understood why a lot of people love this one, but still a hard listen for me

Don't like the sounds and attire of post-punk and expected to hate it. But nah, this was good. Songs are so melodic and adventorous. 3.5, but will rate it 4 just because I was biased in opposite direction beforehand

Nice stuff. Loved songwriting. Didn't liked structure. Probably would work better if acoustic and electric songs followed each other, not divided by sides. Fav song: Pacahontas.

First time listening it in full. Expectations were big and it didn't dissapoint me. Janis is good. Loved this album.

One of the best from psychodelic rock era. Took me a lot of time to get into it in my youth, but it was rewarding

Nah. After Maggot Brain which I loved I had expectations for this one. But if Maggot Brain was everything I could love about Funk, this one is everything I hate about it. Yeah, musicianship is good, but litterally it's similar annoying vamps. Sounds like a Donna Summers record to me. Supergroovalisticprosifunkstication had one riff that I liked.

Didn't loved songwriting much, as it feels a bit simple to me, but loved overall gloomy atmosphere. Quite an experience, which I'll probably revisit, but not too often. Best song: A Short Term Effect

Didn't liked vocals. The begining was good, but the more the album dragged, the more samey it felt. I thought it would be 4 at the begining, but by the end of the album, I can't give it more than 2

I expected to hate it as I don't like shoegaze, but it was actually good. Love melodies combined with wall of sound. Seagull, Kaleidoscope and Polar Bear wear great, but second side felt kinda forced. Nice vocal harmonies

Nah. It probably does something for anyone who's into 00s hip-hop, but not me. It's not really bad, but it's like has no appeal for me at all.

Not a big Stones fan. I like something from them, but general consensus is that they're the hottest band in the world, which I don't agree with. Yet, this one is from the albums that I like from them. Mick Taylor is my favourite member of the Stones, his playing just adds so much soul to their music

Love Cheap Trick! This should be a double album as most of deep cuts are missing (and they are amazing)! This is music that makes you wanna party from the get go, just so much fun. Fav Tracks: Lookout!, Clock Strikes Ten. Pity it's only Cheap Trick album on the list. If you liked it, you should also check S/T (1977), Heaven Tonight (1978) and All Shook Up (1980)

Okay. I'll be biased this time. Rock opera part is a bit cheesy, but A) standalone songs inlude some of my favourite songs ever, After Glow, Song of a Backer and Lazy Sunday. B) It's the only record on this list which includes Steve Marriott, one of my favourite singer and frontman ever Albums that also should be on the list: HUMBLE PIE - "Perfomance: Rocking The Filmore" and "Rock On" R.I.P. Steve Marriott

I think I heared first song a lot of time in mall and the whole record felt like I'm stranded in a shopping center without my earphones on. Fuck.

I feel like some of the stuff on here is still need to grown on me, but everything that I love here is so good... I'll regret later if I don't rate it 5 now. Songs I already knew before are fantastic.

I doubt I will return to it, but it turned out more engaging for electronic record, than I've expected. Nice sound collages. I doubt I will return to it though, at this amount this kind of music is kinda tiring to me.

Some fun riffs in Be Sweet and Debonair, nice production, but most of the rest stuff is pretty bad. Vocals are annoying, most song are aimless.

I expected to hate it, because all other trip-hop albums I heared were annoying. This wasn't, but still rather a background music for me. Didn't hated it, but still don't understand the hype

What's wrong with all these people hating on guitar solos?

Nice country but like nothing special. Not annoying though.

Yay! Finally a hip hop album that I liked! Beastie Boys are cool

Wow. I expected to hate it. But some of the moments were magical. I feel like a true boomer, because generator have still to give me 60s album, that I would dislike.

Self indulgent, instrument wankery, Keith Emerson bad, too complex to be real music, Tarkus long song, blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah Now, fuck off

Not bad for modern pop music, some enjoyable moment with good melodies and funny sounds, probably the score would be even higher if it all was that way.

It was interesting and somewhat enjoyable, but I don't know what I should make out of it. Not bad though

Listened to it for two minutes and stopped. To turn the volume up to the max and start again! The only way it should be! Why people who dislike metal are so humorless? We, metalheads, love Venom because a) we can take ourselves not seriously b) we can't take that satanic bullshit seriously. (2nd wave black metal not counting). So, yeah, people who wrote reviews Spinal Tap are not far from truth, but I don't believe that it's a bad thing. It's like people are hating on fun, just because it includes some shocking values. As for music? Songs are amazing. Production is good. Just listen to the Mantas' guitar and Abaddon's snare drum. It's not underproduced, it's intentionally the way it's supposed to be. My favourite here is Raise The Dead. It makes me wanna dance. Actually most of the album makes me want to dance, because it's just loud and raw rock 'n' roll. My only complain is that their first album "Welcome To Hell" is even better.

I don't like grunge and expected to dislike it too... But this was good. Very creative. Love half of the songs. Generation Genocide was good, I was expecting all album to be like this.

Guys. I kid you not. Yesterday I got a call from my friend, with whom I haven't speak for two years. Our last talks before that were on bad terms. He told me that he don't want material things in his life anymore and gave me collection of LPs he got from a neighbors few years ago. Mostly Russian bootlegs. But when I looked closely, it has 60s-70s British presses of Rubber Soul, Revolver, White Album and Please Please Me. My hands were shaking, it was a dream. After shitty summer and september it was just a miracle. I don't if it was God or karma, but it felt that rainy days are finally over. And it felt like some kind of sign. I listened to Rubber Soul yesterday. This morning I got Rubber Soul here. The universe is trying to tell me something. It can't be coincidence. I listened to it again. I love it since I was 5 years old. The Beatles are the reason why I love music more than anything else in this world. It still sounds as beatiful as it sounded 27 years ago for me and I believe it sounded just the same in 1965. Favourite songs: In My Life, Think For Yourself, If I Needed Someone

Meh. This is album #64 for me. I entered this 1001 challenge, because I hoped it will make me more openminded about genres I don't like. When I listen to the album like this it won't helps. Like, I try to love pop music, but when there's moments I love they're a) won't repeated again b) repeated so much times, that you've hate them. I Want to Wake Up is only one I liked as a completed song. To listen to instead: Zvuki Mu - Transnadezhnost

Why it's on this list? I mean, I don't hate it, but it sounds so bland. It was fun until the second song began

Never trust anyone who doesn't like Bohemian Rhapsody

Heared about Elvis Costello but never heared his music before The way his voice sounds like 90s alternative, but back in 70s gave me some kind of uncanney valley effect Nothing groundbreaking for me, but enjoyable and engaging power pop, I had fun listening to this album

I hate to admit, that they are actually not as bad as musicians as I thought. It's just they music is so bland and joyless. The fact that this album has a pretty high score here is a testament to the fact that even people who want to explore more different kind of music and believe that they need to know all the important music from the last century will rather fall for well produced cheap pop rock with fabricated emotions and consumerism, rather than making their way to appreciate Captain Beefheart.

"You're trading Hot Rats for Echo And The Bunnymen??" Jokes aside, was expecting it to be worse, but it was fine. Not my kind of music at all, but it turned out to be more artsy than I expected and it's always a good thing.

Album like this reminds me that not all pop music is bad. Songwriting is good and so is Fiona's voice. A bit too long, but doesn't get worse near the end, actually liked Carrion more than the other songs on the album

I know that a lot of fans of this band are gonna hate me for this. I respect Talking Head. I like them. I just don't love them. Like really love them. I heared a dozens songs from them, but never a full album. But my problem with them is still there. They're cool, engaging, versatille, but it's like some X Factor is missing from them to be as genius as most people treat this band. I had so much fun listening to them and this album in particular, but it's like 75% of their songs are missing just one part, one thing from being genius. It's like a feeling of something left unsaid is their instrument of expressing emotions. Still can't say anything bad about them. David, Tinam Jerry and Chris seem to me like a creative guys who are also fun to hang around with. Life During Wartime is probably the best lyrics about a band on tour. Also, let's face it, this is one of the coolest album titles ever. These things persuaded me towards to give this a five, but... the feeling of something unfinished is just a bit stronger.

Nice beats, nice rapping. Very good hip hop for its time. His humour might seem offending nowadays, but still is very good

Listened to White Blood Cells few weeks ago, already liked it more, that I liked it in early 00s, this one was even better

Chrissie's vocals are good! Some songs are very good, but also are few fillers. Precious is simple but infectious, Tattooed Lover Boys has fantastic riff

I liked more straightforward punky songs, but more alternative songs annoyed me so much. Favourite track is Misbeaten

A Night At The Opera is great, Sheer Heart Attack is fantastic. Queen II is Queen's best album. The whole album is diverse, dynamic and filled with great melodies and sounds. You can't top this. Queen couldn't top this. Father To Son is so heavy and epic, White Queen (As It Begun) is vulnerable, yet hopeful, A Loser In The End is the song that everyone hates from this album, but even it is so full of fun. Nevermore is the best Queen ballad. March Of The Black Queen is probably the only Queen song that tops Bohemian Rhapsody and is my favourite songs by them. Queen's 80s stuff like I Want To Break Free, One Vision and Invisible Man is good, but THIS is the Queen that I love really deeply in my heart and connect to. There's literally not a bad thing I can say about this album. One of the easiest 5 in this list.

Fragile and Close To The Edge can be described by great musicianship, great songwriting and great chemistry in the band. This one can be only described my some sort of magic. For me, this is THE Yes album. A lot of time in my life I felt depressed, but when I heared the first chords of Your Is No Disgrace, the black clouds above my head were dissappearing and Jon Anderson himself gave commands to the sun, so it would shine it bright and warm rays right on me.

Haven't heared a single note from 10cc before Damn, I don't even know what to make out of it. I like the cleverness and quirkiness of this record. It's engaging, interesting and fun. But that soft rock arragements water everything down for me. It's like if Smokie would try to do their own version of Sgt Pepper or Dark Side of The Moon. Fun, but kinda aimless. Also this made me think, is "Sweet Fanny Adams" or any other albums by Sweet are on the list. I was pleasantly surprised that they are not. Best song = Silly Love. I wish the rest of the album was like this one.

I heared Eight Miles High first when I was 7 years old, and since then I thought it was one of the best psychedelic rock songs ever (well, maybe after Tomorrow Never Knows, but who will argue that?). I still think it is. Few years ago I checked out Byrds compilation. And I was a bit dissapointed, because none of that was that good. So I was looking forward to listening to a full-lenght album. And you know what? IIt wasn't dissapointing. It has some great moments (especially I Come And Stand At Every Door). Overall the album sounds so dated now, it feels silly. But it's all good. But yeah, Eight Miles High is not good, it's fantastic. An album with this song should be there. I just with everything else was as good as it.

I woke up this morning and I got myself a beer The future's uncertain and the end is always near

Didn't expect to like it much, but it was a nice listen

Why this is supposed to be it?

I don't know how to review this. It's so self explanatory, but and one of the easiest 5s, so I'll just go with few statements a) Title tracks is one of the best things ever existed a2) yes, really b) Does it gets better than this? Yes, but the book only includes 2112 and Moving Pictures. All my favourite Rush albums are within them (A Farewell To Kings, Hemispheres, Permanent Waves. A Farewell To Kings is in my top 5 albums of all time) c) Second side is a bit weaker than first side with title track. But what else compares to that? _) Just on a side note. Some of the people in reviews are hating on Ayn Rand. I don't agree with her on everything. She had some good points and some bad points. Books are art too, you don't have to agree with anything. d) I love Geddy Lee and Neil Peart so much, you won't believe. Yet, I still believe the MVP of the band was Alex Lifeson. He brought it all to life with chaotic but fantastic solos. e) This was the album, that Mercury (their label) intented to be their last. Their previous to that point was Caress Of Steel, which is fantastic, but was commercial flop. The band thought it was going to be their last album at that moment. AND. That means they're intented that "Something For Nothing" was be their last song and last testament. Now we're talking about goodbye words. This song's and its message are so good, they made me feel lazy. Now this whole book lacks more Rush. A Farewell To Kings and Hemispheres y'all

Less blusier that I've expected. I don't like world music, but this was a nice listen. Not sure I will return to it often though

Not as great as This Year's Model, but still very engaging and enjoyable

The best point of that album is that unlike of most boring contemporary R&B it's not a hour long. I've read that this is supposed to be a concept album, I don't know what it's supposed to be about but musically it's pointless

The songwriting is nice, but sound is very annoying for me... Two good songs, but I don't even remember their names.

The End is one of the closest things to religious experience that you can have in rock music. CIA should fund more circus music

I still believe that the best thing about 1001 Albums Book/Challenge is that more people will hear genius art of Captain Beefheart

Never hear Elton John's albums in full before, but my expectations were high I wasn't disappointed

Expected to hate it after the descriptions that I've read. But nope. Quite melodic, engaging and rewarding.

Expected it to be an alternative/indie rock for some reason. What I heared is not what I loved, but there were some moments that I like. They are very creative with songwriting, arrangement and sounds and I can appreciate it even when it's not mine thing

Already heared This Year's Model and Imperial Bedroom during this challenge. I wondered if an album from much later will be as good. It is.

Bob Dylan annoys me as fuck But I must admit this one was good, save from some annoying moments

Some of the beats and rapping are nice, and some songs are fun and catchy. There are some redeeming qualities here and there. But minus one point because no album in the history doesn't have the need to be 2 h 15 min, unless it's Joe's Garage and, as far as I'm concerned, this one isn't Joe's Garage.

Joyful and engaging music. Not really my kind of style and sound so only 4, but I almost feel guilty for not rating it 5 for the sake of effort alone.

Very good songs, but feels very inconstant... Liked the songs, didn't hava an idea what this album should have say musically as an album

Loved it from the first listen. Pure joy of Rockin' Around (With You), vulnerable Wild One, Forever, southern rock accents of Strangered In The Night. One who love pure rock without pretension and any kind of self indulgence cannot simply dislike this one

Haven't heared a single song from Dusty and I don't even like soul. But here's another 60s album I can't think of a reason to rate 4 or less. Songs and Dusty's voice are pure joy. Fav tune: Don't Forget About Me.

Nice songs and voice, but too many mellow songs makes it a bit tiresome... Best song The Jungle Line

Yay! I already had Fifth Dimension in this challenge. This one is even better, more trippy, more creative, even better songwriting

Some fine moments, some are not, mostly over the place

Never heared this album before (aside from couple of hits). This one is so much fun. Will definitely go back to it again. Almost as fun as Pet Sounds.

Wow. Didn't expect to like folk album like this. But his songs and voice are so good

Well, I don't know what to make it and how to rate it. No matter how I tried to get into David, he does nothing for me. Nothing bad, but nothing good either :|

Ahead of its time, influential and fantastic Not a big fan of Eric Clapton, but this is great album with him, better than anything he did with Cream or solo. (Okay, Five Live Yardbirds EP is great too) Enjoyable from start to finish

This is like Within You Without You but for whole hour. I thought that would with that lenght it will get me bored towards the end, but no. It's relaxing and magnificent. Will listen again

I love Los Angeles and Under The Big Black Sun even more, so I'm surprised that X are represent with Wild Gift. Songwriting is as great as always, John Doe and Exene Cervenka are my favourite male+female duet in rock music, Billy Zoom is great guitar player and all their song sound like a best party you could ever had. This album's only problem is a more softer production than previous and subsequent albums and misses a bit of their punk edge. But it's the only album that represents X here and they are one of my favourite punk bands, one of the most charming and fun bands in their genre, love them to death.

Muddy is a gift to the world. Johnny is a gift to the world. When they are together... Whooh! Easy five. Music to live to.

Heared only "that one song" from Buffalo Springfield prior. Man, these melodies, songwriting, vocals, harmonies, sounds. Another very easy 5 from 60s.

Everytime generator brings me a dance album I try to find something good about it, but most times I can't. Sorry this time of music is just too annoying for me :(

Don't like Nirvana, particullary I don't like Kurt's voice. But I must admit that they are much better unplugged! I enjoyed some of the stuff here.

God, I hate U2. Now, after listening to their album in full, I hate them more than ever

Not a big fan of country, but this is good!

Songs are nice, but toooo mellow for my taste :(

I'm trying to be polite on this site, but, sorry, this band is going to be an exception. Radiohead SUCKS

Somehow, very enjoyable and painfully dated at the same time. Still a strong 4 at least.

Good at spacey moments, but not as good in more "ordinary" songs. Overall good, but I expected it to be even better :(

I rarely have time or mood for a music like this, but when I have I listen to Ray. He was really good!

Some melodies are nice, but I'm so bored with sound and especially tons of overrepetition... Why?

When I've read the description, I new that I'd rather love it or hate it. In the end I love it. It didn't have to be that long and separated though. I feel like "whole side for one member" concept is why this record lost some integrity. It would have been such a killer single LP album, but somehow it's flow made me lose my touch with the record from time to time.

Not my favourite style of jazz... Too funky for my taste. But still very fun and engaging and playing is really good

Not a reggae fan, but it was soothing, relaxing and really good!

Nah. Vamps are so overrepetetive, that it gives brain no simulation. Some good guitar playing though, but all the parts except guitar solos are boring. +1 point for Maggot Brain, though I love original version more. The inclusion of it is so contrasting, that it made me wonder, "whatever happened to band that once did Maggot Brain album?"

Joni's songs and voice are nice, but this music gives me anxiety for some reason

Vocal harmonies were great, but some of the songs feel like a filler

Yay! Heared a couple of songs beforehand. Other ones turned out to be great too. Best once: Cross-Eyed Mary and My God

So far the best country album on this list! Well, maybe with expection of Gram Parsons. The songs are short but flow so nicely

I expected it to be terrible, but there were some nice moments. Still their sound is too modern for my taste.

Main reason why I joined this project is because there's a lot of bands and perfomers, who I know about for 20+ years, but would never sat down and listened to them on my own, unless I have a "good reason". While I'm not a big fan of folk rock, the story of Nick Drake and the fact that he had no hits, but such a huger reputation among true fans of music always fascinated me, and finally I had a reason to actually listen to him. The bad thing is context. I got this album first and I wish I had listened to the previous two prior. His final release, short songs, no additional musicians, just him, depression, his voice and acoustic guitar. If feels dark, but kinda empty without context, even tho this "emptiness" is of course, not a "lack" of something, but deliberate minmalism. It felt like I'm listening to the album in a wrong way and I need a key to get it right. Luckily, the album is short and I had more time yesterday, than I usually have for "new" music, so I had a chance to listen to it again. And on the second listen it grew so much better on me. So... I'd give it a 4, but I sincerly feel, that I would love it more with every listen, so I'll give it a 5 in advance, so I don't need to edit it later.

This site is trying to convince me that I actually like folk rock. Yesterday Nick Drake, now here's this album... Oh well...

Not my type of music at all, but this is great for what it is. Especially singing. If I'll ever had a mood for a soul music, I'd go to this album, but I'm not sure when it could happen, don't think that anytime soon.

I love first three albums even more and some of the songs on this album could be a bit shorter, but it's still 80s Metallica, back then when they were heavy, cool and creative. Favourite tracks: the last two. To Live Is To Die is such a poignant and gloomy tribute to Cliff, it just hits me in feels every single time.

Some nice moments, especially in the last song, but mostly annoying. The saddest thing, there's tons of musical abilities, which are displayed very rarely throughout the album.

Some moments are fun, but not as fun as his twitter page

As one of the most controversial band for me, I'll go thesis by thesis here 1) Flea looks to me like a cool guy, I respect his musicianship even ff it's not my cup of tea. (Applies to this album too) 2) Chad Smith and John Fruscante look to me like a cool guys with good musicianship, even if not all what they do is my cup a tea (Applies to this album too) 3) Don't like personality, frontmanship and voice of Anthony Kidies at all (Applies to this album very much) 4) Californication and Scar Tissue were so overplayed in my youth, that I can't listen to them at all without being annoyed to the edge 5) Around The World was overplay too, but it's fun though, even if the main riff is a rip-off from "Breadfan" by Budgie 6) Savious is a nice song 7) I rarely defend heroin addicts, but Hillel Slovak is the man. It's a shame that his influences are not prominent in the band's more mainstream output 8) If I want to put RHCP for myself, it's usualy The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Freaky Styley or The Uplift Mofo Party plan. Not my quite my music, but musicianship is great and energy is infectious. I don't get why they are hated by a lot of their fans and not included in this list, because there's so much more personality and style to them. Even if I'm not a big fan of funk or the band, each one of them would get 4 or 5 from me, 9) Playing live shows wearing socks only is funny and cool thing to do in my book (it's my sence of humor, and you don't have to agree with me) (Not that it would mattered, but anyway...) 10) Since John returned in 1998 the formula is pretty much the same, each album has 15% of good songs, 15% of band songs, and 70% of songs that I could live without, but don't mind them existing. 11) I still don't get why they are as big as they are After giving Californication another relisten, I'll guess I'll go with 3, as it seems that it's only rating for them from me that would made sence

Not as dark as Pornography, but still quiet dark. Some moments I liked, some don't. The main problem for me was the song lenght. Do people really enjoy music that repetetive or I have ADHD? When I've listened to "Untitled", which I liked most on this album, I almost wanted to give it a 4, until I thought about that I had to sit through this album for whole hour to get to it.

Very listenable for this kind of music, but kinda aimless

Respect their creativity, but it looks likes there's not too much things for me personally. The whole album is 3, Kotton Krown is 5, average still remains 3, unfortunately.

Expected to dislike it, because I'm not a fan of funk or alternative, but some Tom's riffs are cool

Not really as excrutiating as most of the contemporary R&B, but I've heared stuff that is much crazier, sexier and cooler than this.

No idea what to make out if it, but I think I rather enjoyed it.

I don't have much to say about it. Singing is good, but music is samey. Tolerable

This album gave me my first existential crisis when I was 10 years old

Some nice melodies, but holy God, the campiness factor is song annoying, creepy and cringy. I couldn't stand these vocals at all

Nothing new and extraordianry, but nice oldschool honest country with great voice

At one hand, it's not as bad as I expected it to be. Some moments were pretty fun (especially Jellybelly). But annoying moments are really annoying. 3 and I am excluding one point because I do it with all albums that shouldn't be double

Never heared solo Lou Reed, always wondered what he did after VU (and before Metallica). Well, some nice glam / pop rock here. Some fillers are here, but even here they are quite enjoyable. Turns out he can be a good songwriter and compose music without earfuckery. Will surely return to it eventually.

Well it's hard not to be biased when an album you haven't heared before is rated that low. In some moments in it's begining I kinda felt like I might force myself to like it. But luckily, I didn't had to. Did I loved it from the first listen? I can't tell, but I guess only a bit. But after a lot of pop or mainstream rock albums this one feels SO refreshing, so stimulating to listen to an album that doesn't follow any conventional tropes. I'm starting to feel like a lot of albums in this list (especially towards 21st century) are here for a reason that they've started some short-lived trend or had some popular single, but albums like these remind me that there's also an albums, that offer a new unique experiences, new thoughts and new feelings. It's when the limits of music are vanishing is when I'm starting to remember why I loved music in the first place.

If more Christmas music were like these, I think I would suffer Christmas depression less. Also, I believe, all Christmas music should be recorded with wall-of-sound technique

*** Fun fact (written before listening): When I was a kid, I would spent summers in our family's countryside house. Near my room there was a big Billy Joel poster, which my dad put on the wall. I asked my dad if he could show me some of his music, but he told me that he got this poster for free from his friend and didn't had any of his records. I think I was subconsciously annoyed by Billy all this years, because he, with his self-confident smile, wearing sunglasses and looking cool, was a symbol of some good music that exists, but I'll never have a chance to listen too. Now, 25 years later, I can get to hear any music I want within a few seconds and using this opportunity to listen to my "beloved" Radiohead and U2 just because I decided to take a part in some fun challenge. Well, life is good, I guess! Fun fact ends*** Well, this wait was well worth it. I have nothing about piano based pop rock, but it needs to be really good to catch my attention. And during this album I haven't lost attention even for a couple of seconds. His playing is great, his singing and especially his songwriting, which keeps excited during the whole lenght of the album. Probably as good in this style as Elton is. Probably a few more listens and I'll want this poster back.

I excepted to hate it as I don't like soul, escpecially modern one, but this one turned out to be good. Soothing and enjoyable listening, songs and production are good.

Now that's Rock 'n' Roll! Better than Elvis

So far my favourite country album on this list. Really loved the attitude on this one.

One of the best albums in jazz. A Love Supreme.

I liked last two songs. The other ones... Well, they have nice sound and nice melodies but somehow it doesn't work really good. Nice as a background music, I guess

Nothing special, but nice country

Not enough to convince me that I really love Soul. But wow. Music is good and her singing is killer!

Wow! At first I was annoyed, but the more I listened the more I got into it. These guys offered their own unique twist on 80s rock. I don't think I've ever heared anything like this before. Ending of This Is What She’s Like is simply fantastic. Most of the album is catchy, melodic, joyful and quirky. Will definitely return to it. Also it's cool to have Vincent Crane as a session piano player here. Check his previous bands' (Atomic Rooster) first two album (should have been on this list too), this guy is a beast.

This should be number 1089 on everybody's list, because this one's so loud, you can't hear any music again after it! Jokes aside. This is one of the most important albums of all time. Not particulary a birth of heavy metal, but birth of heavy in music. Back then when everybody in San Francisco smoked pot with flowers in the hair and believed that their folk songs will end the war in Vietnam and bring world peace, Blue Cheer reminded the rock fans about the things that were around them - bad trips, unhappy love, disillusion in dark reality. And while their sound was never copied, their raw passion and attitude, their love for heaviness and loudness inspired 50+ years of heavy rock musicians, who share the philosophy that was first started by Blue Cheer: "We're loud and heavy, we're proud of it, that's the way we intented it and we're not sorry about it". Judging by the rating on this site, the wider audience are still not ready for this, even 58 years later. It's like a whole heavy rock in its macrocosm. Doesn't gets better than this. If you don't know how to love this album - I'll find you and I will show you how to do it.

Already heared Natty Dread and Peter Tosh's Legalize It... Wow, this one's even better, more fun and the arrangements are even more colourful.

No matter how I try to appreciate this type of music it just don't work for me so far. Even if it's well written, played and recorded. It makes me gloomy and not in a good way, not a melancholy gloom, but weariness gloom.

Punkish moments were great and refreshing, but poppier moments ruined some fun for me... Also I'm not sure if this band really needed a sax. Probably will be a grower, so will relisten at some point.

Elvis back then when he sang Rock n Roll and was badass

Peaches En Regalia is one of the fuckiest pieces of music ever written This is one of the most known FZ album. There's 3 Zappa/Mothers albums in this list. If I had my will, I'd add 57 more. Most importantly: Absolutely Free, Roxy & Elsewhere, One Size Fits All, Zappa In New York, Sheik Yerbouti, Joe's Garage Act I, Joe's Garage Acts II & III, You Are What You Is Information is not knowledge. Knowledge is not wisdom. Wisdom is not truth. Truth is not beauty. Beauty is not love. Love is not music. Music is THE BEST

Some nice oldschool rapping here, but too long, samey and tiring.

I don't think that funk and metal mix well together, but this might be one of few exceptions. Tracks are diverse and fun (maybe just a little bit too fun for me). The album feels structured, so it feels like every song here has its purpose, even if I don't like them. The songs I liked most? The one with less funk influences in them. I think it's gonna be a grower, so I will return to it eventually. Maybe 5/5 one day, but for now I can't give it more than 4

Haven't heared their pre-Hotel California stuff before. This is even better. Soulful southern rock even better than my expectations.

Yay!

Not a fan of pop soul, but this wasn't really bad. Don't like that kind of 80s production, a bit boring for my taste, but her voice makes it up a bit

Art

Nice vocals and some nice ideas, but not a lot of them.

Nice art pop with great production, arrangements and singing. But this style of melancholic art pop gives me anxiety, rather than reliving sadness. I prefer earlier Kate when she was more cheerful, joyful and playful.

Singing is good, production is awesome with really warm sounds of piano and double bass. The songs are diverse, but all of them are so mellow and it feels that dynamics of music haven't changed throughout the whole thing, so it was tiring listen.

Heared it for the first time in full. It's good, melodic and fun, but not as good as everyone says it. Now I'm even more sure, that top albums of this band are with Peter Green

I really wanted to love it, because nowaday everyone tries to cancel him (not that I agree with him on any point... but taking performer's opinions higher than his music is rather devalluing art as a concept itself), on the other I expected to hate it, because I hate most indie rock and jangle pop. But this turned out nice. Some fillers here, better songs has some beatlesque vibes.

Heared only First Edition beforehand and some selected songs beforehand. My opinion is that Johnny did "Nevermind" for the world and everything he did later he did for himself. It's artsy, and I know that Jah Wobble and Keith Levene brought a lot to the sound, but it sounds so personal by Johnny that it even feels eerie time after time. And I'm not sure where he is dead serious or when he is taking a piss. This album is even more repetitve than the first and has less songs that I like, so only 4. Best track: Poptones. The worst thing is I don't know what on here is to take serious or not. The best thing is I don't know what on here is to take serious or not.

Not as fascinating as his stuff with Roxy Music, but still much fun with art/glam rock with a lot of cool landscapes and funny sounds.

I've excepted it too be one of the blandest bands of its era. Even the name of the band is too boring. But they can really rock! Especially when they take country influences and add some driving rock to it. A bit inconsistent and a few fillers, so only 4, but will surely return to them

I just recently had It's a Blitz. And this one is much better. Not mine kind of music, but that energy and enthusiasm in both music and singing is just appealing. Some nice hooks too. While I don't like indie/alternative, this album somehow manages to avoid most of the things I don't like about these genres, so it's a nice surprise. Won't return to blitz, most likely will return to this one.

Even haven't heared his name before. But it was fun and engaging. Even so much fun at the begining, I couldn't take an idea what it is and what's happening. This is good.

Damn... How time changes things! When I was 16 my friends recommended me that album and I thought that it's the worst thing ever. It sounded so pretentious, so overplayed, so purposeless. I listened to a lot of prog rock and to a bit of jazz, so I dug technical and long music with a lot of improvisations, but I just felt there is no reason for it to exist. Now, 17 later... I can't believe I could ever hate that thing. The whole album kept me focused and amused. I especially hated title track and now I really love it. That set up is magical. And that groove... it's 27 minutes long, but when it ends, you don't want it to end. Spanish Key is intense and everything else here is great too. Probably the most dramatic change in attitude towards the album in my whole music listening history?

I except to dislike it because I don't like bossa nova, and because it's 1967 album, that is not psychedelic rock. But it was fun listen, melodic, joyful, easy and her voice is good. Pleasant surprise!

I really want to love Bjork. She's talented and artstic towards pop music and I respect that. But I just can't stand the aesthetics of her music and I don't really like her voice. I've added one point for efforts and intentions, but I still feel bad for giving her 2, but even this feels like too much of advance.

Not bad for post-punk/new-wave.Some nice ideas. Best song: I Wanna Sleep With You.

This reminded me that I don't dislike hip-hop, I only dislike atrocious new school. This was pretty good.

Not what I expected, but equally good. A lot of fine tunes and great playing. Always heared that Terry Kath was great guitar player and finally had a chance to hear a proof for this. Excellent stuff!

Upon 9th and Fairchild.has good bass riff, but the rest stuff is boring and annoying.

Well ok... This is one of the most strange album for me to rate in terms of being bias. On one hand it has one of my guitar heroes, Duane, shredding his heart, mind and guts out. On the other, it has one of my non-heroes creepily singing about wanting to bang wife of his close freind, which happen to be one of the best beatle.I almost envy to ones who listen to this thing without a context. Well, the music is awesome, so I guess 5. Still, I suggest you never trust Eric.

Some funny and creative moments here and there, but I doubt I will listen to it again.

Well, combination of world music and pop music its what usually makes me sick. But not this time. Some of this turkish melodies really ignited me and dance rhythms rather hyped it, than destroyed its fun. Almost a win. But its rather a long collection of songs, than an album, so only 3, rather than 4.

Wow, this one is hard for me to rate. Never listened to this album start to finish. Songs are good, vibes are great, Mark's playing is amazing. I really want to give it 5, but the lack of louder and uptempo moments makes it harder for me to call this album "flawless". I really like it, but I'll go with 4 this time.

Yay! Love me some early Queen. This time I totally agree with the list. If there's should be 3 Queen albums, it should be this 3-album run. If II and A Night At The Opera are a bit more on epic side, this one show their more funny and campy side and this is pure joy. Fav tracks: Brighton Rock, Flist Of The Wrick, Now I'm Here, In The Lap Of The Gods (first one, not one that everyone remembers) and Bring Back That Leroy Brown. Also this album includes my favourite Queen deep cut - She Makes Me (Stormtrooper in Stilettoes). Doesn't gets better than this.

I don't even know how this style of music is called... I just felt so bored beyond recognition

YES! YES! YES! Knew about them, but never had a chance to listen to them beforehand. Well, randomizer gave me some good albums I haven't heared before, even some 5. But this stuff grabbed me by the balls instantly. Well, as much as I love early Ramones and early Pistols, this one is just as good, just with different types of British Invasion influences, other kind of roughness, and street cred that could only came from an Australian record and we all know that Australians rocked hard back then. Few weeks ago I have X-Ray Specs and thought that horns and punk don't mix really well, but this myth has been disproven here. Even Chris Bailey on the cover is already looking at me as if I'm his friend, because he has same energy as me and most of my friends... I'm already in love with this album. I'm writing this review and then I'm giving it another round immedately. Going to jam my guts out to Lost And Found tonight.

This album squeezed my lemon

Lithium is as good as I remember and Stay Away was a great surprise. But still, mostly I had apathy to their music. It's not really good nor bad for me. I get what people like in this album, but not all of this works for me

Fun, eccentric, diverse and rocking. Another great discovery. Some songs are already played in my head after I finished listening to the album. Will listen more of their stuff

Wow! A pleasant surprise. Not a fan of electronic music or industrial, but this was smart, melodic and aesthetics that I can appretiate. Listening to this was an experience and the one I rather enjoyed. Fun fact: song Long Route includes sample of "Technocratic Manipulators" by one of my favourite bands Voivod. I liked how Young Gods took the main riff from this song and made something completely different out of it. (Why Voivod isn't in the book, ffs?) Also, they have one of the most badass names a band could have.

Songwriting is a bit better than on Nevermind, but it's also has less fun and exciting moments.

I prefer Iggy when he was louder and played with Stooges, but he's surely not an idiot. Didn't liked late 70s mainstream influences much though... Best song Dum Dum Boys

Wow! Expected to hate it, but it so creative, has so cool sonic landscapes that includes both vulnerable pop melodies and arrangements and wall of noise... This is so artsy, that it changed my mind about this type of music.

Melodies are fine, but it's mellow and on the whole a lot of aesthetics I didn't like. Nice work, but only 2 for me.

Wow. I didn't know that in 70s there were music this cringy. His voice just annoys me. Is it for "fun" or it is how it is supposed to be?

It's good, really good as always! Just not AS mindblowing as his later stuff.

It's not that it's really bad, but it includes all the tropes that I don't like about Alternative Rock and nothing more aside. So this was a very annoying listen for me.

Their songwriting and arrangements are quiet good, but their sounds and aesthetics aren't my cup of tea. Yet, respect for being inventive in songs.

This is second Echo and The Bunnymen album in this list and I liked this one more than the first one.

Damn. I always hated everything about britpop. Like it really annoyed the hell outta me. So while I never heared a note from Supergrass, I really wasn't looking forward towards this album. At first it sounded kinda OK. Then it was fine. Towards the end of the album I thought it was good... Then in half a hour I catched myself listening to this album again. A lot of stuff sounds like a modern version of Cheap Trick to me (which is a really one of the best compliments you could get from me). Songs are simplistic, yet clever, with infectious poppy melodies, yet rocking, creative, yet not pretentious. Really fun listen. So this is an album #209 and the first time I give a 5 to an album in a genre I dispised prior. Fav tracks: Sun Hits The Sky, Tonight (totally rocking!), Richard III

If this list needs an album from a person who is famous only because of being a widow of a rock star, I'd prefer Yoko Ono. Female version of Nickelback

I'm not a fan of Bowie, and I don't enjoy production here much, but damn. This is 4th Bowie album for me, and the first one than hit me in the feels and didn't left unimpressed. The way he sings about his upcoming death and using his own demise to create an art statement is gutwreching and heartbreaking. Even if you don't like Bowie, I can't understand how can someone left apathetic to this album.

I like hip hop and I like french, so I quiet enjoyed this album

Nah. I prefer living on a ground floor, so I don't have to listen elevator music.

If the album starts with Robert Plant moaning about his desire to lick a pussy, you know you're in for the peak music.

Not a fan of Nick Cave, but this was a nice listen

Never heated him before, but nice mellow rock with nice singing and production

I thought that Prince was overrated, but I don't think same way anymore. This is pop album with pop sounds but with creativity and integrity of a rock album. This is pop music I knew existed somewhere, but never couldn't find. I dunno if I should rate it 4 or 5... Nah, I'll go with 5, because so far it's a peak pop music I ever listened too. Best tracks: I Would Die For You and especially Darling Nikki (for a song itself, but double bass, lyrics about masturbation and annoying Tipper Gore makes this song even better)

I usually dislike modern R&B, but this one weren't annoying and kinda fun, but not enough to really enjoy it

Beck is surely talented, but I don't really like his sound

Never heard them before, but was very curious about them. Yeah, this is very good! Will relisten very soon and looking forward to hear more from them

Usually don't like this kind of hip hop, but this is clever, musical and diverse

Don't like that kind of production. But the voice and the vibe... Yeah, I want it darker!

Fun, beautiful, playful and engaging and Sarah's voice is really great. There's something especially touching in live albums from old days that I can't explain.

This is mostly good and sometimes great, but I'll be a little contrarian here. This would be even better if it would be a single album. I don't really think they really needed to remove reggae influented songs and few filler songs. Title track, Train in Vain and few others are undeniable classics. And let's be realistic. The only band that matters? If we're talk old british punk, Pistols were only band that mattered, whether you love them or not.

Her voice is not bad, but... Do we really need pop soul at this point? Pop elements take out all soul from the soul. It pretends not to be boring while it's really boring.

Well, it's hard for me to rate this one. It's creative, some of the songs are fun, I really liked Charge. But low points are making me losing my focus from time to time... Probably will raise my rating later.

❤️

What can I say here? Opening track is somewhat of a guilty pleasure for me as I liked it when it came out and I was 3 or 4 at time. I expected the rest to be worse, but it turned out to be more rock sounding and mostly good. Maybe will give it a spin again at some point, but this is not going to be my playlist staple though

This was transcendental, yet rocking. A lot of fun throughout the whole record. My only complaint is that his lyrics in his Chef's character were even better.

I've never heared them before, but I was told by someone that they sounded like punkier version of The Who. And they were right in best possible way! So this is fine discovery for me! Who wouldn't like Quadrophenia #2?

Love his intention and songwriting, not a big fan of this kind of 80s production.

I expected it to be annoying, but some songs were nice. Country rock with some modern influences, but not enough to make it horrible. The only problem is that more mellow songs are annoying, keeping it from 4/5

Better than I expected, but still electronic music like this doesn't really impress me. Listenable though. Strange, but I enjoyed songs with robotic voice more than with real voice.

There are some good songwriting here and there, but songs that I don't got are annoying. Still some nice moments that I've enjoyed. Could be 4 if Futurama song was on the album

It was a nice surprise for a first side! Some nice sounds, songwriting and overall enjoyable. Unfortunately, second side is not as good and couple of annoying fillers

Some nice moments, but mostly boring. I liked one moment that reminds of music from Pole Chudes TV show

I was surprised, because I've expected it to be more alternative/indie. Still didn't liked some modern sounds, but some nice fun garage punk

Why they would need to sample 'Orion' by Metallica?

Boring, I just don't get it...

Liked the psychedelic parts, but pop-rock parts are really annoying. Don't Stop is a masterpiece. Some more good moments here and there, but the rest is really annoying. So I'll give it 3.

Didn't expected it to be soft/folk rock. Good as a background music, but done nothing else for me and not memorable for me at all

So far the best album I've heared in grunge so far. Probably because it's so based on classic rock sounds that I like. Some songs are very good, some are fillers or letdowns, but mesmerizing Release almost convinced me to give it a 5.

I was so surprised because I'd thought it would be more experimental and noisy, but turned out nice 70s rock, knowing what he did before. I wouldn't complain if it would be more experimental though.

Well, it's good for what it is and they are good as a musicians and songwriters, but it was a depressing listen for me, fueled by all the sounds and ideas I don't like about 80s

Peak music

Wow, this one was very specific. Some of it was stuff that I've enjoyed and some is not.

This one almost made me want to quit this whole challenge. Louisiana's Incubus is much better. This album on april 1st? No wonder, this album is a joke

I was annoyed by their minimalistic approach at first, and I don't liked the production much... But by the middle of the record I was sold. There's just something infectious in them

Always heared about them, but never actually listened to them beforehand. I don't know what kind of music they play, but this is kind of music that I like.

Nice for it's age, pretty listenable, but nothing particular that surprised or impressed me.

The start of the album was some nice with great upbeat synth bangers, but turned too mellow towards middle and end

Heared only "that one song" from them. This one is Muuuch better! I almost wanted to give it 4, but the excitement of the first part is a bit ruined by more mellow second part.

I just had Green recently, and I have the same problem I had with Green. The album starts exciting, but the lack of dynamics and putting the mellow song after mellow song closer to the end of an album kinda ruins the vibe for me.

Some nice hooks and melodies, but to predictable for my taste. I'm In Touch With Your World is best song here

Not really mindblowing, but some nice country.

Some nice alternative rock, which while doesn't impressed me, haven't annoyed me.

Never heared them before and this was a great discovery. Great infectious melodies, cool arrangements, it's wholesome, it varies and it rocks.

The songs are great, the singing is great, the banters are fun and the vibe of the show is mindblowing. When he sings San Quentin twice, it's feels electric.

It felt kinda self indulgent at first, but when it started to progress, I realized that there's no wrong note here at all. Great mix of prog and jazz, great discovery

Fuck yeah! I've heared few songs from Juju and some other hits from 80s and I've always thought that this band has talent and their sound, but just missing integrity, a bit something that keeps it from being vital. Now this is what I actually expected to hear from them and even goes beyond my expectations.

There's probably 3 minutes of melodies and voices that I liked, but most of it sounds so senseless to me

Nothing really new and groundbreaking, but fun energetic music, the kind of I like to dance to

I hate to admit it... But I guess I like Bob Dylan from now on? Rainy Day Women is a banger

I liked the scat singing at the end of the second song, but mostly this sets a good vibe, but becomes boring toward the end of listening

This might be first full album I've heared of R&B in a biblical sense of word... And some of the moments I really liked and loved, and some moments that annoyed me. So far I don't know what to make out of it. But I must admit this guy has a ton of charisma in his voice

Her voice is good, but the music is really annoying for me... Some nice moments, but, unfortunately, not an enjoyable moment for me at all

I thought I don't like ambient music, but I like ambient music like THIS.

Nah, this is just bad and bland. Some redeeming qualities in good melodies here and there, but I really wanted just to give it 1/5

Judas

Wow... It's listed as noise rock, but it has more melodies and arrangements than half of the albums on this list... Nice discovery in a genre where I didn't expected it. Probably will grow further towards 5. 2 Towers is epic

I still don't know what's the hype about at all... I like bass line in one song, which I thing that's even not on the original track listing...

Wow! Didn't knew that funk could be that varied, catchy and fun. I enjoyed the most record.

Whatever people like about this record, that's what I don't like

Boring

I liked that it's varied at first, but it's all over-the-place varied. I like some moments, but I don't know what it's all about

A nice suprirse to see singer/songwriter album from 2010 that sounds like 60s pop, but the self-indulgent edginess of this one is keeping me from rating this higher

Whatever they call indie rock n roll is something I don't really like

Nah... I could give it 2, because some of the moments are kinda creative in arrangements, but no. His voice is annoying, this whole thing is annoying and to me albums like this is what killed all the fun in loud/heavy rock music in the 90s. Also the whole concept is fucking dumb.
