5/5

Fantastic debut. Let's hope this guy doesn't do anything weird.

Vol. 4

Black Sabbath

4/5

Bem produzido, não é entediante. Um disco de metal que não é barulho por barulho; sabe respirar e tem ritmo e ideias claras. Instrumentais e vocais muito bons. Achei o álbum criativo como um todo, trazendo elementos que não parecem tão óbvios à primeira vista.

Low

David Bowie

5/5

Álbum incrível, criativo e com uma sonoridade fora do normal. Nenhuma parte desse disco soa incapaz ou fora do lugar, tudo tem razão de existir e dá sentido à obra. Destaque para as faixas instrumentais que têm sons que mesmo hoje são difíceis de encontrar, de uma maneira completamente interessante e rica.

Illinois

Sufjan Stevens

5/5

Um dos melhores álbuns já feitos. Sufjan é um gênio.

Bitches Brew

Miles Davis

3/5

it insists upon itself.

Aja

Steely Dan

3/5

As far as production goes, impeccable. The songs are all good, but I personally feel no motivation coming back to this album, except maybe for one or two songs. In the end, I feel the album has more going on in its backbone than in the final product.

Rust Never Sleeps

Neil Young & Crazy Horse

3/5

Good album, some weak moments.

Aqualung

Jethro Tull

3/5

Tapestry

Carole King

London Calling

The Clash

5/5

White Denim

3/5

Sounds good. Definitely one of the albums ever made. You can die without hearing it, though.

Dirt

Alice In Chains

1/5

Not really my cup of tea. I really don't like the guitar tones on the record, and the overall songwriting didn't really click with me. I'm gonna say, though, the most famous songs on the album are outstanding, and I feel like the band is at its best when they allow for a bit of contrast, so I wish there were more of that.

At Newport 1960

Muddy Waters

1/5

Maybe it's because I'm not American, but I can't really see the appeal

Wild Is The Wind

Nina Simone

4/5

Very good

System Of A Down

3/5

I had only listened to SOAD's most popular songs and was pretty surprised by the quality of the deepcuts on this record, although I'm not a big fan of the genre.

Konnichiwa

Skepta

2/5

British rap is kinda lame, not gonna lie, although this album has something going on for it on the production side. You can die without listening to it.

Live At The Harlem Square Club

Sam Cooke

4/5

Very good live record

Neon Bible

Arcade Fire

1/5

You can clearly tell the band would end up where they have recently, musically speaking. In hindsight, it's mostly indie-pop slop with a lot of pseudo-intellectualism and sometimes overbearing noise and sonic elements that make the production value very weird to me. To address the big (pink) elephant in the room, it's impossible not to feel that it is disingenuous the way the band portrays its sound and themes, knowing what we know today about its lead singer. Oh, and by the way, I'm gonna die before I listen to any more of Win Butler singing.

Bryter Layter

Nick Drake

4/5

Very beautiful. The arrangements are truly great.

The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan

Bob Dylan

5/5

Very good. There's nothing more to say, really. It's Bob Dylan.

Sex Packets

Digital Underground

3/5

The second half of this record really drops the ball to me. Side A is an excellent, fun, and funky hip-hop record.

Ace of Spades

Motörhead

1/5

I don't think it's great; it's the kind of rock and roll that got very dated. But, at least it's honest; it sets out to do something and does that well, even though I don't found particularly good.

Blood Sugar Sex Magik

Red Hot Chili Peppers

1/5

This is terrible beyond salvation. This almost broke me. That's it, I couldn't bring myself to finish this awful record.

Heroes

David Bowie

5/5

Even better than Low. A really good record with amazing guitar lines by Robert Fripp, amazing arrangements, amazing productions, and super-good writing.

Dust

Screaming Trees

4/5

First time listen. Really liked.

Fulfillingness' First Finale

Stevie Wonder

4/5

Street Signs

Ozomatli

1/5

Very mediocre music with a Latin twist. I hate this genre mashup nonsense that Americans do; Latin music could and should stand on its own, it isn't made interesting just because you put rap over it. Couldn't bring myself to finish.

The Downward Spiral

Nine Inch Nails

3/5

I can't really explain why I found this album interesting. I do like the anger and the sound of it. In the end, it's an interesting listen, which is way more than some of the albums here.

Exodus

Bob Marley & The Wailers

4/5

Talking Timbuktu

Ali Farka Touré

5/5

Triangle

The Beau Brummels

4/5

The Specials

3/5

Great vibes, a little bit tiring. Remember to consume Ska in small doses.
