American IV: The Man Comes Around

Johnny Cash

4/5

Not every song works to the same extent. But when a song hits, it really hits. Chills.

TV On The Radio

5/5

Exactly my cup of tea. Dark Bon Iver with more improvisational elements. Not surprised Bowie was a fan.

Only listened to the hits before. Turns out: the rest of the album sounds the same, only worse. It gets annyoing pretty quick.

very self-indulgent, very good.

understated, suffers from all the bad copies of that style that would follow. very competent.

Fatboy Slim

3/5

Fun play with repititions. A bit much as an entire LP and slightly dated.

Jagged Little Pill

Alanis Morissette

4/5

Very 90s, snutty attitude in the best way. I cab forgive most flaws because it is just very honest and raw

Freak Out!

The Mothers Of Invention

2/5

certainly innivative in many forms, but too cynical for my taste

Mr. Tambourine Man

The Byrds

3/5

Somewhere between beatles and dylan. competent, but less playful

Born To Run

Bruce Springsteen

4/5

Powerful energy, feels like a live album. Sometimes magic, sometimes annoyingly so. Sounds modern (or timeless?) for the 70s. Probably need a re-listen to catch the lyrics.

Brutal Youth

Elvis Costello

3/5

a lot going on, might re-evaluate later on

Faust IV

Faust

4/5

going places, smashing faces

Seventeen Seconds

5/5

great bass sound and lines. short and sweet. they were only 20 yo?!

Elephant

5/5

Billion Dollar Babies

Alice Cooper

2/5

Maybe I could appreciate it more if it were a live show - or a musical. But as an LP it‘s mostly silly (and musically quite tame)

Pump

Aerosmith

2/5

To the people surprised about the albums hornyness: It has a car humping an other car with the word „pump“ on it as a cover, what else did you expect! That‘s not my complaint, since hornyness has inspired great music. Still, while Aerosmith might rock the glam metal thing and the members are all capable musicians - I just don‘t manage to like this genre. „Janie’s got a gun“ is decent though.

Brothers In Arms

Dire Straits

2/5

It starts promising with the comfy „So Far Away“ and the tongue in cheek „Money for Nothing“. But from the annoying „Walk of Life“ on its downhill. You know how McCartney had to stop Harrison from playing a guitar lick after every phrase in „Hey Jude“? Well, nobody stopped Mark Knopfler. As great as his playing is: As a non-guitar-player it gets tyring pretty quickly. If at least the rest of the music was more interesting or the singing better ... Add the dated 80s pop aesthetic and there are just too many elements I do not care for.
