This rating is actually a 3.5. This is the second album by David Bowie I got listen to thanks to 1001 Albums and I am very grateful. He has amazing songs and like in Black Star: Bowie + Saxophone = perfection. There are so many parts in songs that I really liked.

4/5

It's a nice jazz album. Not the jazz i am used to but i really enjoyed listening to it. The instruments which were part of the arrangement surprised me at some parts but im also not so knowledgeable on how music was when this album came out. My favorite track was track c the part in the beginning is just stuck in my head. I would definitely listen to this album again

Rock 'N Soul

Solomon Burke

2/5

Nice album, Lyrics and Instrumental are nice, however this album is not my taste in music. I found it a little boring or rather nothing special, but I no way was it bad, just not my kind of music

Either Or

Elliott Smith

4/5

I really like this album. I think Elliott Smith has such a sad voice, that sounds weird, but it really fit the theme of the album and just made it so emotional and beautiful. Because it's such a sad album, I find it hard to listen to at all occasions, but when I'm in the mood for it's perfect and the best album for that situation.

Ramones

3/5

Some really fun and iconic songs. But nothing really stood out to me

Low-Life

New Order

2/5

The voice is not the best and the lyrics didn't really convince me. The production and instrumental was nice though

Boston

The album was really good. I was just happy the whole time listening to this album. Each song is banger not one miss.

Kick Out The Jams (Live)

MC5

2/5

Odelay

Beck

2/5

The random sound effects on the songs caught me off guard and destroyed the flow of the songs. I enjoyed a few songs though

Blackstar

David Bowie

4/5

I really like this album. I haven't listened too much David Bowie before this but I liked this album a lot. The jazz and rock elements were really nice, also since they are to of my favorite genres.

Strange Cargo III

William Orbit

3/5

I'm not someone who usually listens to this kind of music. It has some really nice tracks that have a really nice "vibe" to it and are nice. The other tracks weren't necessarily bad, but didn't really stick out to me. It is nice to listen to in the background though.

If I Should Fall From Grace With God

The Pogues

2/5

Not my style of music

Buenas Noches From A Lonely Room

Dwight Yoakam

2/5

The instrumental AND music is great. However the lyrics aren't.

Channel Orange

3/5

So many good tracks that I loved.

3 Feet High and Rising

De La Soul

3/5

The beats are very nice and I automatically start to bop my head while listening to this album. However HipHop is not really my style of music but I still enjoyed it.

My Generation

The Who

2/5

The songs on the album are not bad. However none of the songs really stick out to me. I also think this genre isn't really suited to me.

Heroes

David Bowie

3/5

Heartattack And Vine

Tom Waits

3/5

While his songs are not bad I have a really hard time listening to his voice. It makes it hard to understand what he is saying and kind of ruins the listening experience for me. Instrumental and production wise the album is quite nice though.

Otis Blue/Otis Redding Sings Soul

Otis Redding

4/5

When I hear the first track I just immediately smile. The album is so good and I live the Bigband elements/ brass section.

From Elvis In Memphis

Elvis Presley

2/5

While I did enjoy this album. It's not my style of music I didn't hate the songs or anything but I wouldn't necessarily listen to this album again. It wasn't bad though

Sunday At The Village Vanguard

Bill Evans Trio

3/5

A nice album. The live recordings make it very immersive because one can hear the people in the background talking such is really cool

Headquarters

The Monkees

2/5

Kind of Beatles vibe

Young Americans

David Bowie

3/5

The saxophone solos are always hits. This album is definitely with soul. And there's a lot of headbobbers (songs that make your head bob). However i think when it comes to soul there are many artist I would rather listen to. While this album was good overall I prefer his other albums I got to listen to. Fame however really stood out to me, definitely a fav on this album

Parallel Lines

Blondie

4/5

So many iconic songs on this albums. Loved almost all the tracks. And I'm so glad to have some albums from female singers.

Kollaps

Einstürzende Neubauten

2/5

So this is one of the worst rated albums on this. And I understand why. I like listening to music because I connect and create to the music or because the voice, instrumentals and production a good and nice to listen to. And this album didn't do any of it. However it was so different from what I expected and I had more fun listening to this than some other albums on this list because it was so different and I refreshing. In addition my ability to speak German might be the reason my experience is a little better than others because I know what they are saying.
