Elis ReginaI got a little bit bored after a few tracks but the musicianship was really good so I'll give it a 3.

Great early punk/hardcore. Enjoyed the simplicity of the lyrics.
Listened on a sunny morning walk and it certainly put some swag in my steps. A good mix of up-tempo tracks and some slower numbers. Great to hear some versions of songs I already knew. Learned that Respect was originally written by Otis and covered by Aretha Franklin
Stewart Copeland composed the music for the Spyro games so I enjoyed hearing similarities from those games that I grew up playing. Didn't enjoy some of the more "out there" tracks like Mother but overall, not a bad listen.
Not massively for me but I appreciate the influence. Still a couple of bangers. Probably better after a zoot.
Not massively for me. Didn't dislike it though. Extra star for the Extras theme song.
Perfect sunny walk music. Only really know the big hits from Bob so was nice to hear some unknown (to me) tracks.
Sort of thing you'd watch on the Glastonbury coverage if there was nothing else on.
Quite repetitive so not too bad to have on while working. Not my usual type of thing but enjoying it more than I thought I would.
Ehhh, not for me really. Some parts were cool with headphones but it was a bit of an endurance test to get through it all.
I mean I put it on but nothing really jumped out. Retail store music. Non offensive (other than some spicy lyrics) but not exciting. Would give 2.5 if I could.
Even casting morals aside, this was just an enjoyable listen. Beautiful People is a good song but other than that it was just a bit of chore to get through.
Not bad for running errands on a Sunday. 2.5 stars would have been better but 2 felt too harsh.
Incredible album and probably Zeppelin's best.
Really enjoyed this one and it's the first one so far that I've re-listened to in the same day. Nice follow on from Zeppelin yesterday with hints of Rush and The Beatles. Enjoyed the percussion, big harmonies and brass sections.
On the whole not too bad. Lots of variation between tracks and some cool moments and surprisingly dark lyrics "I don't feel sorry for thee, you deserve to die" for example. Heard some slight "metal" vocals at one point too? Not really something I'll go back to though.
Brilliant album with almost wall to wall hits.
Hard not to enjoy this one. Nice chill beats, soulful vocals and harmonies, Reggae influences and a feature from Carlos Santana. Runtime is perhaps a touch too long though.
Fairly enjoyable listen. I have a bit of a soft spot for country. This reminded me of driving around the hillbilly town in San Andreas.
Not something I'd usually listen to but not bad. Had some "oh, I know this" moments, which is always cool.
Not for me. Felt like being sober in a room full of stoned people jamming on instruments. A lot of moments where it was really harsh and noisy in the earphones which had me wanting to quit. A couple of enjoyable moments maybe. Lou Reed was also partly responsible for Metallica's worst album which is difficult to forget.
Some cool moments and a really good drummer. Nothing too exciting but quite enjoyed the bits I paid attention to.
Not really for me. Just not really a genre that does anything for me musically.
I got a little bit bored after a few tracks but the musicianship was really good so I'll give it a 3.
Great album. Had Roundabout in my head since listening. Would probably be a five if I were listening properly, not while working.
Amazing album. There's riffs, there's drum grooves, there's soaring vocals. It made me cry, it made me dance. Zeppelin at their best!
A handful of enjoyable tracks but seemed few and far between with such a long runtime. Could have been a three if it was shorter.
Stan Getz a 3 for this one. Short enough to keep my attention. Some of it sounded like Pixar music, which is always great.
Didn't enjoy it as much as I thought I would. Great musicianship but the songs were a little quirky in places for my taste.
Great thrash album, just not as refined as their best work.
Not really my cup of tea but not bad. I recognised Hell Is Around The Corner but upon googling it seems I actually recognise it from Glory Box by Portishead, which used the same sample.
Never been the biggest Nirvana fan but there's far worse I could listen to. There's guitars and powerful drums. Not a bad listen at all.
Inoffensive but not very exciting. Would be better if Brown Eyed Girl was on it.
Bit of a long one in places. Lyrics caught me off guard on "that" song. Good musicianship even if it left me a little bored at times.
I love this album. EVH was a true pioneer and changed the way the guitar is played today. Just a really great album.
Quite fun with some parts that I recognised.
For the most part it kind of passed me by, however there were a few cool moments that I recognised. Not a bad listen overall.
Pretty nice listen. Lots of good solos by most instruments. Would maybe have liked the drummer to share a bit more of the spotlight perhaps.
Not really for me but I guess I can appreciate the cultural impact.
Not too bad, wanted to enjoy it more than I did but perhaps too many slower songs on the record.
Probably a good album if you have the time to listen to it. Unfortunately I didn't finish it and while I did enjoy what I did hear of it, it's just a bit too long.
Packed with hits from start to finish.
Was a bit too long but lots of the tracks felt like they could have been in a THPS/Skate soundtrack, which was cool.
First real Beatles album I've listened to from start to finish. Knew a lot of the songs already. A great listen and they really did know how to write a good song.
Another one that I wanted to enjoy more than I did but to be honest, I found it quite boring.
Pretty fun listen. Not something I'd really go back to but enjoyable enough.
Just didn't grab me at all.
All tracks felt like they should have been no more than 90secs long. Would have made good interlude tracks on a hip hop album but lacked any real structure or hooks to keep me interested.
Fantastic album with so much great talent from every instrument.
Found it a little boring but deserves higher than a 1.
Not too bad. Quite fun saxophone parts but not something I'd go back to really.
Not too bad. Parts reminded me of The Smiths and The Jam. Got a little bored by the end though.
Great pop songs, well written and what a great voice.
Enjoyed hearing lots of songs that I don't know from them, while they still had a more punk sound.
Didn't manage to finish but enjoyed what I heard of it
A style I've always appreciated but never really explored. Depeche Mode have always had an unconventional note choice which catches you off guard but isn't distracting.
Fairly enjoyable listen and enjoyed lots of the samples.
Overall not bad but loses a point for being too long.
Nando's music. Pretty fun but just a novelty really.
Okay background music but nothing exciting.
Quite fun even if most of the songs sounded the same. Had the benefit of being quite short in length so didn't get boring.
Never listened to a full album before but ZZ Top always felt like a bit of a novelty band. This album showed that there is real talent behind the beards and gimmicks.
