Energetic, provocative, and funky.
Gets repetitive a bit too quickly, but it is enjoyable.
I keep not liking it. Way too long.
Some great songs washed down in the general mediocrity of the album.
Boring and repetitive. Not my cup of tea.
Solid and consistently good album, back to back. Nice solos.
Quite enjoyable.
Timeless classic, foundational for soul and r&b.
Smooth Operator is such a strong opening.
Gets a bit redundant towards the end.
The first song is charming, creative and fun.
Then it goes on and on for 45 minutes.
Not my gerne, but still charming.
I grew up listening to this one. I still consider it a masterful, emotionally charged piece of art.
I didn't know of this one, but sadly hard rock isn't for me anymore.
If I had listened to it fifteen years ago, I'd have probably found it amazing.
Today i can recognise some interesting patterns and a couple of entertaining songs, but I find it mostly tedious.
I love this classic record.
Timeless classic. Beautiful voices, masterful arrangements.
A bit too long.
I didn't know this.
Got repetitive after a while, but it was a pleasant surprise.
Instant classic. Must listen for the genre.
Slim Shady was upfront, edgy, unruly, but through all the act, depicted the deep difficulties of growing up in poverty.
The homophobia and misogyny was crude at the time and is aging like rotten milk.
Wow.
I've oh my favourite albums ever.
Milestone of its genre.
I love it.
Charming and timeless.
I just love her voice and her poetry.
What the.
This was... impactful.
I don't know if I hated it deeply or kinda enjoyed going through it.
Cold and unpleasant, surprising and unheard, brave and avantgarde, cacophonic and tedious.
Is this a 2/5 or a 4/5?
What I know is that I never lost interest in it while listening. It kept me with it. It stuck with me.
And this has value.
I don't know if I'll ever go through it again. Maybe if I feel weird.
This 4 is gonna stick out and bother me just like the album bothered me to listen to it. Somehow, for me, it makes sense.
Bland, boring, uninspired.
Never got the appeal of this album, when there are so many better ones by Bob Dylan.
Shouldn't be on this list.
Late 70s power indie pop in a nutshell, with a sprinkle of early punk.
No more, no less.
If you're into that, you'll enjoy this one.
For me:
Boring.
Uninspiring.
Forgettable.
The title track is one of the best classic rock songs ever. Deep, emotional, and involving.
The rest of the album doesn't really hold to the comparison.
Afterall, it was enjoyable.
The studio debut of a band who went on making some damn beautiful music.
This one is very indie, both in sound and production, with neck breaking pace and energy for days.
To me, it's a very solid 4 or a lukewarm 5.
Not a single skip in this track, on multiple listens.
An indie rock experience I knew nothing about.
Peculiar, alive, electric.
How did i sleep on this marvel 'til now?
Fela Kuti! How did I forget about you?
I listened to a couple of albums years ago and then... lost in my memory.
What a pleasure to listen to this.
We need more Afrobeat in the world.
A very good record I haven't listened to in a while.
I'm not a huge fan of the Smiths and I'm not particularly into Morrissey solo career.
The album was slightly better than I expected, but I struggled to go through the whole of it. I don't think I will listen to it again.
Never heard before.
Felt nice and energetic, I wish I knew more french to follow the lyrics properly as it quite a focus in the record.
Happy to see some music from outside the US or the UK in here.
I love Tarkus so much.
I've been an ELP fan for quite some time.
I love the blend between rock and classical music on this track, the focus on keyboards and synthesizer (instead of guitar for a change) and the wacky concept.
Maybe some lyrics are weird. Maybe some tracks on side B aren't as strong.
But Tarkus is a masterpiece to me.
This is a slow, guitar filled, classic rock album.
Mark Knopfler is always a pleasure to listen to.
To my taste, there are some very nice track and way too many forgettable fillers.
I love Dire Straits, but I think they work way better in a Greatest Hits compilation.
Even if I'm not really a fan of The Police, neither of Sting's style, O found myself appreciating this album more that expected.
It kept me company and I didn't wander off with my mind too much.
But out of the first track, there's not one the actually stands out to me or that I would relisten to.
I liked the album. It has character and style.
I'm not really a lover of the new wave/post punk era, but I'd suggest it to everyone who is.
Kinda generic rock, kinda not my genre.
Quite forgettable.
A haunting album, dropping the listener into a dark, gothic mood. Both atmospheric and minimalist.
That's the post punk that makes me fly.
I really enjoyed it.
I am surprised to say the least, but this is album is so well put together and thought out that i enjoyed it from start to finish.
I don't love the excessively noisy solos and the incessant presence of the guitar, but damn this record knows when and how to pump energy and when to slow down with grace.
Very nice experience.
Noisy, abrasive, and aggressive, without an ounce of grace.
I don't like the style, nor the songs.
It overstays his welcome after a few minutes, let alone the whole record.
I always feel sorry giving bad scores. It can be art to someone else, I'm sure. But it really doesn't click with me.
Sorry Jeho, I don't like your driving style.
Aretha Franklin is the best voice in music history.
Talented and powerful as no one else.
Every other element is only here to support her vocals give her the place to shine and, to me, it works wonders.
A solid electronic record.
Of course it's predictable and infinitely looping around itself, making you feel like you're falling through a computer simulation.
I'd have loved a little bit more out of it. A bit of surprise or nuances, but it tends to remain in its own regularity.
A solid background anyway.
One of the best music records in history and I'll fight whoever says otherwise.
I LOVE Bowie and I genuinely believe this album is a masterpiece.
Surprisingly melodic in the mix of an eclectic production.
It certainly has a style, although rough along the edges.
This was a surprise to find in this list. I like the idea of a fake soundtrack, I loved the tension and build up in some of the songs.
A few pieces were quite less interesting tho. A bit more consistency would have helped.
This is the second Dinosaur jr record I got from this list.
I am a prog rock lover, but i really can't stand this noisy rendition of it. Whatever tune or musical structure they build is drown into a loud, distorted noise.
I find it cacophonic.
Some nice sounds, but gets repetitive and boring quickly.
This was a fun listen over the weekend.
It was lucky, I got this one on a Friday. I probably wouldn't have liked it on the week commute, but it was a blessing for the Sunday morning walk in the park.
Yes, it is a cover album and yes, it lacks originality, but it still was a pleasant listen.
Though one. Country isn't my genre, but I kinda like Springsteen.
The album is probably solid, but I struggle listening to the whole of it in one sitting.
I loved the dark themes. These are the tales country can actually shine telling, in my opinion.
If it only was Highway Patrolman, this would be a 5/5 for me.
If it only was Atlantic City, this would be a 1/5 for me.
This sure in an historical record. Coming from disco music, stepping into funk and pioneering hip hop for one of the first times.
It is not a well polished record, nor it is aging particularly well, but it's energetic, breathless, and fun.
Psychedelic british rock from the 60s, clearly influenced by the Beatles, but with its own turns and quirks.
The B side turns into a small prog rock story that tastes of Peter Gabriel's Genesis. I found it joyous.
James Brown is a foundational artist who only put out fantastic funky music. One can never tire to his sound.
One o f the best album in the history of music.
I enjoyed more than expected.
I've always approached the Beatles music through compilations and greatest hits, and not album by album.
This was a far better experience, I sure will revisit their discography.
And it's not even the best Bjork record.
I hope there's more Bjork i this list. There should be more Bjork in the world.
Solid and enjoyable. A starting point for for female rappers in the industry.
Smooth, danceable and aggressive when needed.
It has its flaws for sure: Missy isn't at her best yet, beats can be simplistic and repetitive.
No love, no hate.
Some good song, kind of forgettable for the rest.
I tried once again but i cannot find the Cure even remotely enjoyable.
Not a fan and i don't get the appeal. Mediocre.
This is really a genre I can't get behind.
I don't like Sinatra. He sounds like he doesn't really care. Like if he has other fucks to give. Not the feeling I personally want from a performer.
It doesn't help that Bossa Nova clearly isn't his genre.
Jobim is a gift to music.
I prefer the original Bossa Nova by a mile, but it's still a pleasant listen.
ABBA albums are though to evaluate to me. The highs are very good and energetic.
Who doesn't love Dancing Queen or Money Money Money?
The lows are quite frankly a chore to get through.
ABBA work the best for me in Greatest Hits compilations.
This sounds to sweet and fresh to me, it always makes me feel recharged.
Baroque, sophisticated, overly stylish.
I had a nice experience listening, but I won't come back to it soon.
The interesting sounds it creates is payed by being forgettable.
There are way better Elvis Costello albums.
Repetitive and uninspired.
Not the kind of hip hop i love.
Imho this is a bad record.
I'm starting to think I just don't like Elvis Costello.
He's got the right cards for me. I normally like art rock, glam, and blues.
I feel this wanted to sound clever, interesting, a novelty, but landed very flat on me.
No i didn't like this record.
An easy album. Easy to listen, easy to like. Not much more, nor less.
I like witchy woman, I wish I liked more songs from it, but it is not the case.
I distinctively remember when this came out. How it caught me even if it's not really my genre.
I think it's impossible to ignore Adele's powerful voice and beautiful harmonies.
So many good tracks on this record
Strong start, getting lost from the mid point through a bit of repetitiveness.
First side has lots of good tracks.
The classic rock and roll album. Without a doubt a gen of the genre and a must listen.
To me, it didn't age very well. I find it old and interesting. I prefer more experimental and artsy music.
Still a solid listen.
