1/5

I mean, I get it, but really couldn't force myself to finish the whole album

Murder Ballads

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

4/5

16 Lovers Lane

The Go-Betweens

4/5

Is it an excellent album? Probably not. Is it catchy and perfect for daydreaming sessions ? Absolutely! Favorite tracks: Love Goes On and Was There Anything I Could Do

Aja

Steely Dan

3/5

It's not my usual kind of vibe, but it's still good and I actually went back afterwards to listen to it again. Great find!

You Want It Darker

Leonard Cohen

2/5

The album’s musical style is overall pleasant. However, all the songs sound very similar and stay within the same melancholic mood. I enjoyed the beginning of the listening experience, but I quickly grew bored as it went on. 2.5/5

You're Living All Over Me

Dinosaur Jr.

3/5

Bluesbreakers

John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers

1/5

Fuck Erick Clapton !

Ace of Spades

Motörhead

3/5

Hybrid Theory

Linkin Park

5/5

I can't believe I put off listening to Linkin Park for so long for some shitty reasons. This album is incredible!

Peter Gabriel

3/5

Nice album that I was glad to discover and will definitely listen to again. It kind of gives me a Phil Collins vibe, for some reason.

Foxbase Alpha

Saint Etienne

4/5

So happy that I discovered this one, I love the vibes of this album ! Favorite tracks : Only Love Can Break Your Heart, Girl VII, and She’s the One.

Astral Weeks

Van Morrison

1/5

I just can’t bring myself to enjoy the singer’s whiny voice. It sounds like a never-ending "boo hoo, not all men" rant set to music, which unsurprisingly matches the singer’s reportedly abusive behavior.

Live And Dangerous

Thin Lizzy

3/5

It's nice, the songs are catchy, but they all sound very similar to each other, so none of them really stands out.

Beauty And The Beat

The Go-Go's

5/5

Fun and punchy album. Glad I discovered it! Favorite tracks : Our lips are sealed, Lust to love, We got the beat

Melodrama

Lorde

3/5

I think the album is great and original, but I had a hard time fully getting into it, especially the first half of the record. I really appreciated the songs Liability, Writer in the dark and supercut. 3.5/5

Wish You Were Here

Pink Floyd

4/5

Five Leaves Left

Nick Drake

3/5

Nice album, altough out of my usual comfort zone. I have mixed feelings about it, because I appreciated the melodies, but struggled to appreciate the voice of the singer. However I could definitely see myself listening to this again with a hot chocolate and a book by my side ! Favorite tracks : Three Hours and 'Cello song.

Green River

Creedence Clearwater Revival

3/5

Good and consistent album, I will definitely put it again as background music. I didn't find a song that particularly stood out for me, but the album as a whole is enjoyable.

The Black Saint And The Sinner Lady

Charles Mingus

5/5

Love it !

The Score

Fugees

5/5

I already knew the most famous tracks from this album, but hey, bangers always bang !

Let Love Rule

Lenny Kravitz

2/5

Like, sure, thanks Lenny for building this garden for us, but no one asked you to do it in the first place. 2.5/5

Grievous Angel

Gram Parsons

3/5

This album really surprised me, as I didn’t think I’d like this style of music ! Favorite Track : Brass Buttons 3.5/5

Pump

Aerosmith

1/5

For some unknow reason I never clicked with Aerosmith. This album bored me to death...

Either Or

Elliott Smith

3/5

I can definitely see the potential, and teenage me would probably have loved this album and plastered her room with Elliott Smith posters. Favorite tracks: Speed Trials, Pictures of Me, Say Yes 3.5/5

Stardust

Willie Nelson

4/5

Very soothing.

Ctrl

SZA

4/5

Chill and comforting vibes. Favorite tracks : Doves in the Wind, Prom

Junkyard

The Birthday Party

1/5

I really hope no one ever asks me to describe what this album sounds, because I have no idea what the heck I just listened to.

Risque

CHIC

4/5

Bad

Michael Jackson

4/5

The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars

David Bowie

4/5

Objectively the album is incredible, but for me personally it just lacked that little something that makes me fall in love with. I will probably give it a second listen later to see if my opinion changes. 4.5/5

A Love Supreme

John Coltrane

5/5

Rain Dogs

Tom Waits

2/5

I have mixed feelings about this one. There were a couple of fun tracks that I enjoyed listening to, but it felt overall a bit lengthy. It's a solid 2 (and a half!) for me.

McCartney

Paul McCartney

4/5

I liked the vibe of this album :)

Hot Fuss

The Killers

2/5

When I heard the first song I thought I had found one of my favorite albums... But then I had the impression of listening to the same song over and over. I got completely bored by the end of it. Also, are we going to talk about how problematic the lyrics of some songs are?

The Band

2/5

Nice album, but it didn’t live up to the expectations I had about it.

Heaux Tales

Jazmine Sullivan

5/5

WOW WOW WOW! Favorite track : Pick up your feelings

Exodus

Bob Marley & The Wailers

4/5

1984

Van Halen

3/5

The album itself is solid and consistent, but to me the songs are completely unmemorable. I listened to the album twice and still wouldn’t be able to tell you which songs are on it besides Jump and Panama. Overall, these are familiar and reliable tunes that would work well to introduce someone to what I perceive as old-fashioned rock. 3.5/5

Neon Bible

Arcade Fire

2/5

I usually don't like this type of music. While this album did not completely changed my mind, I surprisingly found some of the tracks enjoyable. Fav Track : Keep the car running, Black Wave/Bad Vibrations.

Live 1966 (The Royal Albert Hall Concert)

Bob Dylan

1/5

DNF, Too much nasal singing and harmonica for my taste.

All Hail the Queen

Queen Latifah

5/5

YAAAAAAAAS QUEEN 💅

Bryter Layter

Nick Drake

3/5

Nice melodies. I had listened to Nick Drake’s first album before, and I actually enjoyed this one more ! 3.5/5

Vulgar Display Of Power

Pantera

3/5

Would I be listening to this album every day? Probably not. Would I listen to it when I want to see the whole world burn? Hell yeah!!! 3.5/5

Deserter's Songs

Mercury Rev

3/5

Not my favorite album, but it was fun to listen to. I’ll keep it on hand for spooky board game sessions with friends!

Beach Samba

Astrud Gilberto

2/5

I expected a lot from this album, but I actually found it rather plain and boring. I only really enjoyed the track "Misty Roses." 2.5/5

(Pronounced 'Leh-'Nérd 'Skin-'Nérd)

Lynyrd Skynyrd

3/5

Vulnicura

Björk

4/5

This is the first Björk's album I'm listening to. I really appreciated the mix of lyrical, mystical, emotional and electronical vibes that emanates from this album. 4.5/5

Dr. Octagonecologyst

Dr. Octagon

2/5

Either the album is too conceptual for my taste, or it tries to be more than it really is.

Young Americans

David Bowie

3/5

I am not familiar with David Bowie's discography, so I was surprised how different this album sounds from his previous album I listened to. Favorite track : Fascination 3.5/5

Stankonia

OutKast

5/5

Mask

Bauhaus

4/5

I won't say it's a masterpiece, and you definitely need to be in a specific mood to enjoy this album, but if that's the case the album has some good tracks with surprising melodies. Favorite Tracks : Of Lillies and Remains, Hollow Hills, Kick in the Eye, In Fear of Fear

Kilimanjaro

The Teardrop Explodes

3/5

The tracks sound dated and very similar to each other, but they also have a really comforting and familiar vibe that I like. Favorite tracks : Treason, Reward, Kilimanjaro 3.5/5

Dookie

Green Day

3/5

HEAR ME OUT, guys, besides basket case and When I come Around, this album is fairly unmemorable...

Bat Out Of Hell

Meat Loaf

3/5

I was not familiar with Meat Loaf's music, so this was a nice discovery ! I enjoyed the album as a whole, although no track emerged as a favorite.

Getz/Gilberto

Stan Getz

4/5

Perfect album to listen to on a sunny day :)

Modern Kosmology

Jane Weaver

2/5

I fear this one is a bit too abstract and trancy for me. Also, the album feels somehow unfinished.

Common

4/5

My PhD didn't prevent me from loving this album 😄

Led Zeppelin IV

Led Zeppelin

3/5

Great tracks, of couse, but the album isn't very memorable for me, even after two listens. 3.5/5

My Aim Is True

Elvis Costello

3/5

Okay-ish

Tarkus

Emerson, Lake & Palmer

2/5

I only partially enjoyed the second half of the album. Favorite track : The only Way

Marcus Garvey

Burning Spear

3/5

Nice, but it felt a bit redundant.

Amnesiac

Radiohead

3/5

I really enjoyed the melodies on this album. It's exactly the kind of alternative rock I like! It feels very dreamy and dark at the same time. Edit: I listened to Kid A just a few days later, and I found it far more consistent, powerful and groundbreaking ! Rating: 3.5/5

James Brown Live At The Apollo

James Brown

1/5

I can't stand violent and abusive scumbags

The Low End Theory

A Tribe Called Quest

5/5

AMAAAAAZING

Take Me Apart

Kelela

4/5

This is the type of music I have been listening to lately, so I enjoyed it. It's definitely not a revolutionary album, but it's the type of background music enjoyable during chill work sessions (or alternatively for pole dance sessions!).

Kid A

Radiohead

4/5

I suppose it wasn't conceived as such, but this album depicts perfectly how I feel when I have to get through a working day after a sleepless night.

Brothers In Arms

Dire Straits

4/5

Very consistent album. The tunes reminded me of the music we used to listen to when my father drove at night during holiday trips, and I sat next to him! Favorite tracks : Why worry, Ride accross the river.

Blackstar

David Bowie

2/5

On an artistic level, this album is undeniably good. However, this is the third Bowie album I've received in a few weeks, and I appreciated it less than the others.

Lady Soul

Aretha Franklin

4/5

This Year's Model

Elvis Costello & The Attractions

3/5

Cookie-cutter /5

The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill

Lauryn Hill

5/5

As expected, THIS ALBUM BLEW MY MIND 🤯
