Hot Fuss

The Killers · 1 likes

2/5

2, 5 stars I actually liked the first songs on this one, although I was a bit skeptical about this album, considering I only know the most famous songs of this band and watched an interview of them, where they kind of seemed not like my cup of tea. The last of the songs weren't to my liking though.

3/5

I can see why this is seen as one of the best albums ever made. However, I think I am just not a huge fan of this genre. I mean I can appreciate it and definitely see why it was so influential and iconic, but I wouldn't necessarily listen to it on myself.

Mothership Connection

Parliament

4/5

This is amazing! I wasn't ready for this level of funkiness!

Blonde On Blonde

Bob Dylan

2/5

Just like a woman is pretty good and I want you, but gosh, he really knows how to make the album look incredibly long, and sure, he's a poet and a storyteller, but he also has this super distinctive way of singing that I do not like at all.

Birth Of The Cool

Miles Davis

3/5

Gosh, this sounds really fascinating and I know it is amazing what he does, but also it is just not my genre. It just doesn't do it for me.

2/5

After reading the reviews, I was convinced I was going to hate this album. However, I actually found it quite intriguing. The album is very experimental and unlike anything I normally listen to. I wouldn’t necessarily choose to put it on myself, but I did enjoy getting to know it. Therefore, I would give it 2.5 stars.

3/5

I actually think I like Travelling without Moving and A Funk Odyssey much more than this first album, and I am surprised this one is on the list and not "travelling without moving". This was still enjoyable though.

Let Love Rule

Lenny Kravitz

3/5

My mother once saw Kravitz at a festival in our country and bought the album there. This was sometime in the ’90s, and from that day on she became a huge fan. I’ve heard “Mr. Cab Driver” an insane number of times because of that. I do agree with most people, though, that Let Love Rule isn’t exactly a 10/10 album. There are some great tracks on it, but also quite a few that are pretty unremarkable. Still, I can’t bring myself to give it a bad rating because of the personal connection I have to it.

Wild Is The Wind

Nina Simone

3/5

The College Dropout

Kanye West

2/5

Honestly, I am kind of surprised by all the reviews on this one giving this and Kanye's other albums one stars, just because of who he is as a person. I haven't seen the same reaction on the numerous other racist, sexist, homophobic people on this list. You can't just pick and choose to do this? And also, why are we only reacting this way when the artist is a woman or a black person? If a white man, has the same views, you all still listen to him.

What's That Noise?

Coldcut

4/5

Moving Pictures

Rush

1/5

Rush feels like they're rushing you to the end of the album. It feels mechanical, void of any emotions, not a big fan.

3,5 stars. I do really like certain songs on this album, and will definitely start listening to this band more, but I don't think this is the BEST album ever made, an enjoyable one though.

Music for the Masses

Depeche Mode

3/5

Pills 'n' Thrills And Bellyaches

Happy Mondays

3/5

It's kind of meh, it's not bad, it's not super spectacular either, just meh.

Skylarking

XTC

4/5

It reminded me of a lot of different sounds and artists at the same time. Quite cool and interesting album, quite unique.

Harvest

Neil Young

4/5

I was quite skeptical about this one. I have been quite indifferent towards Neil Young and his songs. Sure, I already knew Heart of Gold and loved that song, but for some reason I never was bothered to learn more about this artist and his other work. And after hearing the first song, I wasn't sure this was going to be my genre of music, but somehow Neil Young takes you with him on a long path in the countryside and suddenly you are entranced by his music and you have to admit: this was a great album.

L.A. Woman

The Doors

5/5

Five stars, because, you know, it's the Doors.

Deja Vu

Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young

3/5

This is not bad, a quite enjoyable album for sure, but also not the best album of all time. I am also kind of getting tired of the amount of Neil Young I have gotten over the past weeks. Surely there's more on this list than just Neil Young?

Honestly, it is not bad, but it is also not really that special. You listen to it and the songs go on and on, and you don't really love any of them, but also don't really hate the album, kinda meh.

Janis Joplin, you icon with your voice that can rule out generations!

Arc Of A Diver

Steve Winwood

1/5

Absolutely disliked this one by Whinewood. 80s music is just a hit or miss for me.

In Rainbows

Radiohead

5/5

Weird fishes/Arpeggi and Jigsaw falling into place might be the most magical/mind tickling songs I have ever heard or found. I have listened to them a million times already and still they keep tickling my brain in the right way.

Henry's Dream

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

3/5

To be honest, I have been getting nothing but psychodelic 60-70s albums these last days, so I am already happy we're finally in a different decade. What to say about this album by Nick Cave? Nick Cave has quite a unique sound, but I do feel like this isn't his best album, 3, 5 stars for me.

Automatic For The People

R.E.M.

4/5

Pretty good album, though it gets a bit long after a while. I do enjoy Stipe's voice and his unique sound. Also think this might be their best album.
