MorrisseyGenerally just a bit samey and boring, 2/5. Opening and closing tracks were the highlights of the album for me.

Nice album, given the current status of the world. Good flow between songs, nice theming 5/5
Very strong beginning with obviously great guitar work, however, the second half drags on a bit too much for my taste. 3,5/5
Not my genre, but some sharp lyrics and flows throughout songs. 3/5
Not a big Dylan fan. Not much on here that is horrible however just not really anything that sticks out either. 2/5
Not a prog guy, but a reasonably accessible album with minimal complications. The title track is a nice and enjoyable song. 3/5
A lovely country album that contains all the things a country album should have. Furthermore, how can you hate on Dolly too much? 4/5 since it is not my favorite genre.
One of the best all-girl R&B albums I have ever heard. To be honest, there haven't been many, but I really liked this one. The hit song 'Waterfalls' was, in my opinion, one of the weaker songs. 4/5
The fewer words written about this album, the better. 1/5
Quality recording of a very well-performed live show. Cash has a great voice and a great storytelling voice throughout the songs. Compact, with many great songs. 4/5
Good album, Santana's musicality is, of course, excellent. The album could have been better with some more lyrics throughout the songs. 3/5
Classic albums with an undeniably massive impact. However, the band sounds like it still has to find its footing a bit; therefore, it lands at a 4/5 rating.
Just an unremarkable country album with a voice that I personally really cannot stand. Just way too nasal. 2/5
First album where I was totally unfamiliar with any work made by the artist. Many country albums were generated recently, so there is some material for comparison. Not as good as Dolly Parton´s 4/5 album, but better than Dwight Yoakam's 2/5 album, so the rating of 3/5 is easily determined. Just a good country album, with not too many positive surprises, but no negative surprises either. 3/5
Favorite album by one of my favorite bands. Top 3 album of all time, in my opinion. No more words needed. 5/5
Really tough listen. Patti Smith´s music is more art than music for me. And it´s an art form which just doesn´t resonate with me. Was waiting for the album to end pretty early on. 1/5
THE blueprint for a pop album, delivered by the Wilson brothers in 1966. The big hits are, of course, universally beloved; however, the entire album is a crash course in what makes a great pop song. 5/5
Though Jazz isn't exactly my taste, this album starts excellently with some very strong tracks. Towards the end, however, there is just a bit too much fat on the album, and I found myself losing some attention. Still, however, one of the better Jazz albums I listened to, but I remain not a very big fan of the genre. 3/5
I'm totally unfamiliar with this band and, therefore, this album as well. I was positively surprised, as it gave me strong CCR vibes. However, there were not enough positives on this album to warrant a higher rating. 3/5
Second Johnny Cash album for me, after the San Quentin album, not too long ago. This one is more famous, I believe; however, I thought it was pretty unremarkable compared to the San Quentin album. Still good, though, just not as good as the 4-star San Quentin one. 3/5
Fair album, but I was just incredibly quickly bored with it. Afterwards it felt pretty forgettable. Nothing really wrong with it, just very boring. 2/5
An interesting album by a band with many bigger hits in its catalog. However, it is very Talking Heads and is pleasant to listen to. A big hit or two could have lifted this album to a 4 out of 5; now it falls just short of that. 3/5
Good, yet unremarkable album, especially from the time period it is from. There are many similar-sounding albums. There isn't much wrong with it, but I can't give it any higher than a 2/5.
One of many Beatles imitators around at the time. However, this attempt to copy the Fab Four has been quite successful. Many songs appear to be catchy, with some surprising hooks, and a nice variety of songs throughout the album. I wasn't that convinced before listening to it, due to the mixed reviews; however, it scored much better for me than expected. Been doubting between giving it 3 and 4 stars, but will give it the benefit of the doubt, so 4 stars it is. 4/5
Bring back swing music! While it won´t be my favorite genre in music, the world can definitely use more swing. This album is a great example of the power of swing, getting me moving in my seat throughout. The hit ´Buona Sera´ was familiar, but the rest I did not know. 4/5
Not a great Stones fan, and this album is not one of my favorites from them even. I found it quite monotonous and except for the first track, the big hit ´Sympathy for the Devil´, there were not really any highlights on the album. Not bad however, so 2/5.
Unnecessarily complicated album, fitting very much in the era during which it was recorded. Recording quality appeared to be high for the time, however, the songs were just way more complicated than necessary in my opinion. Just giving it the benefit of the doubt by giving it three stars, due to the excellent individual qualities of the musicians. 3/5
Amazing, not overcomplicated rock album. This one just makes me want to drive off in a nice old classic American car into the sunset. However, I think it might be better that I don´t do that, might save me quite a few speeding tickets. 5/5
The title of the album really fits my impression of the music: some nice background music in a club or coffee bar on a Tuesday night. While it really isn't that bad anywhere, the highs just really don't lift it towards anything more than a 2/5.
My goodness, this record is a drag. It is meant to be an attempt at the ´Sunny California´ records from the sixties. But it falls well short of achieving that, just like it falls short of accomplishing anything else. How on earth did this album end up on this list? There is really nothing standing out on this album. A well-deserved 1/5
It´s jazz, it´s instrumental, it´s pretty well played according to my untrained ear, it´s not my style but it´s not bad. 2/5
Nice album, fitting into the timeframe it came out into. The voice of Jack has always been mesmerizing to me and the song 'We're Going to be Friends' was a nice throwback to a song I have long forgotten. All in all, the album falls well short of a perfect score, but is way better than mediocre. 4/5
