well...I didn't like it. I'm not a big fan of his voice. however, the songwriting and the themes explored in the songs were interesting.

Hotel California

Queen II

Queen

2/5

4/5

Very enjoyable listen. Amazing lyrics

A Date With The Everly Brothers

The Everly Brothers

3/5

Decent to listen to and the harmonies are fantastic

Bright Flight

Silver Jews

1/5

Listening to this, all I could think was: God, why have you forsaken me? Berman's voice is absolutely awful, making Transylvania Blues the clear standout track, as we are mercifully spared from his singing. The second half was a bit better, but the album is still just boring

Aja

Steely Dan

4/5

Great but it gets a bit tedious and repetitive after a while

Catch A Fire

Bob Marley & The Wailers

2/5

meh

Violator

Depeche Mode

4/5

What an incredible album!!!

4/5

This is my first real dive into the metal genre, as I've never been that interested in it. To my surprise, I really liked this one. The instrumentals are absolutely great, and the album cover is incredible, too 4.5⭐

4/5

It was so good that I almost rated it 5 stars, but after some thought, I felt that 4.5 was a more accurate score

At San Quentin

Johnny Cash

3/5

Country music isn't really my cup of tea, but the album wasn't bad, and the cover is fantastic

John Prine

2/5

For me, this album was like waiting in a crowded line: at first, you think it's not so bad, but after a few minutes, it becomes tedious and monotonous, and you just want it to be over as soon as possible.

Will The Circle Be Unbroken

Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

2/5

My third country album in a row (yes, I'm God's strongest soldier). Sorry, but there's no way I'll listen to all 42 songs on this; 17 were more than enough. Musically, it doesn't sound that bad (the best tracks were the instrumental ones), but as a whole, it's just not for me

Broken English

Marianne Faithfull

4/5

I LOVE the album cover, and it's a cool album overall

Harvest

Neil Young

3/5

Not the greatest thing I've listened to. The first half was kinda boring, but the second half was good

Morrissey

2/5

Kinda insufferable

Doolittle

Pixies

3/5

It's kinda funny: I get that this is an influencial album. Yes, I can hear some of it in the songs of my favorite artists, but I can't say I enjoyed this. The instrumentals were incredible. 3.5 ⭐

Talking Heads 77

Talking Heads

3/5

I expected more, to be honest

Larks' Tongues In Aspic

King Crimson

3/5

Mid

Bat Out Of Hell

Meat Loaf

4/5

Okay, so I'd heard of Meat Loaf (though not much), and I don't know why, but I was totally under the impression he was this tough guy, and his music was just as rude and heavy. Well, I was honestly surprised to listen to this and realize that Meat Loaf is actually the heterosexual Elton John (just like one of the reviews here mentioned). I had so much fun listening to this!

(What's The Story) Morning Glory

Oasis

5/5

So...this is why everyone loves Oasis. I LOVE this album, my favorite on the list so far. I can't even decide my favorite track because they are ALL amazing

Supa Dupa Fly

2/5

It's not my cup of tea

It's such a beautiful album

4/5

Rio

Duran Duran

4/5

Amazing. It just makes me want to dance

Siembra

Willie Colón & Rubén Blades

4/5

Being born in Latin America, of course I was familiar with most of the tracks, as they are so essential and generational for salsa music. However, I am (or was) a person who has never liked the genre and always thought it sounded the same, so I never really paid much attention to these tracks before. After listening carefully to Siembra, I noticed its richness, the lyrics, the incorporation of other genres... And now, I have no choice but to admit it is indeed a musical masterpiece

Seventeen Seconds

The Cure

3/5

I had high expectations that, sadly, were not met

Queen

4/5

I'm not a big fan of Queen but I enjoyed this one

The xx

3/5

Unpopular opinion (apparently): This is NOT boring. 3.5⭐

2112

Rush

3/5

Good, but feels too long after starting with a 20 min song. 3.5⭐

Heartattack And Vine

Tom Waits

2/5

I think I'd probably like it if someone else sang it. The instrumentals are good and all but I can't bear his voice

Frank

Amy Winehouse

4/5

I was already familiar with some of the tracks on this album. It is very good overall

Banger after banger after banger

Various Artists

4/5

I'm not like, into Christmas music, but this was very enjoyable

I'm not a big fan yet. It feels like the kind of album I’ll appreciate more in a few years
