This one I was somewhat familiar with before receiving, classic rock, good guitars, can’t determine a fav song, I really like most of them

Not the best album of the Smiths, still okay, it seemed to be a lot more folk-influenced than their others, fav song is „Well i wonder“

The Soft Bulletin

The Flaming Lips

4/5

The vocals were a little weird in some tracks, favourite: “Waitin’ for a superman”. A low 4

Colour By Numbers

Culture Club

Court And Spark

Joni Mitchell

3/5

Very boring but i heard some jazz so a low 3.

Either Or

3/5

Okay

The Sensational Alex Harvey Band

Kanye West

3/5

Okay, hip hop isn’t really my thing but i could listen to some of these from time to time. Fav might be “Two words”

Heaux Tales

Jazmine Sullivan

3/5

Your average R&B stuff mostly. Despite this album being quite recent, i had not heard a single song from it so yeah i’m happy to receive something on here from this century for once. Best is “Pick up your feelings”. A high 3

Violator

Depeche Mode

4/5

Nice

War

4/5

I liked “Like a song..”

Ellington at Newport

Duke Ellington

3/5

Strong start! Probably the best jazz album I’ve received so far. It is however unbearably long and there is no reason to include the announcements as well. A high 3

The Score

Fugees

4/5

Peak hip hop icl. I like a few of the tracks but “Ready or not” has always been a banger. This is something you actually have to hear before you die.

Boston

5/5

Saw the first title and knew this was gonna be peak. Bonus points for being relatively short.

Justified

Justin Timberlake

3/5

Nice debut, really. “Cry me a river” is a timeless one, my favourite is “Nothin else”. Gotta have respect for Justin, he’s very talented. A lot of the tracks are kinda repetitive tho. High 3

Os Mutantes

2/5

Some of these are straight noice pollution. A couple of okay ones. A low 2

The Village Green Preservation Society

The Kinks

3/5

Kinda forgettable but okay overall

Fever To Tell

Yeah Yeah Yeahs

3/5

Have a love hate relationship with yeah yeah yeahs. One minute it sounds nice, the next-unbearable. Not a fan of the screaming/moaning. Favourite track is “Maps”

Who's Next

The Who

3/5

Tried to keep track of the songs that get repeated in this so i listen to them only once but there are probably a few i still haven’t heard. Really like the Who i think they’re pretty influential. Fav track might be “Getting in tune”.

The Velvet Underground & Nico

The Velvet Underground

3/5

Not an every day listen, but i appreciate it.

Time (The Revelator)

Gillian Welch

1/5

Pass

The ArchAndroid

Born To Be With You

Dion

4/5

It was nice, low 4

Eliminator

ZZ Top

3/5

Mid

Birth Of The Cool

Miles Davis

3/5

I’m kinda glad this site makes me listen to jazz so often, cause i probably wouldn’t sit to do it on my own. Solid 3 but it was enjoyable.

Document

R.E.M.

3/5

Nothing memorable honestly

Electric Ladyland

Blue Lines

Massive Attack

4/5

This one’s good. Favourite track: “Safe from harm”.

Dear Science

TV On The Radio

3/5

lyrics are fine, instruments too, vocals surely aren’t anything special but overall it’s listenable. A high 3

Want Two

Rufus Wainwright

4/5

Weird lyrics but I strangely like this, with the exception of a couple songs. Favourite might be “Crumb by crumb”

Blue

Joni Mitchell

3/5

Ik ppl like this one a lot, the production’s good, the lyric might be the best thing about it. Her voice kinda annoys me at times tho. Favourite track is “Little green”. A high three

The Beach Boys Today!

The Beach Boys

2/5

Not a big fan of The beach boys, but I do see the influence they had for their time. I have a feeling this album isn’t their best one so i’m looking forward to receiving something else of theirs.

2112

Rush

4/5

Interesting overall, a little slow in the beginning. A low 4 but that’s being generous.

Duck Rock

Malcolm McLaren

2/5

I see how it’s influential ig but still not for me. The obvious best track is “Buffalo gals”

We Are Family

Sister Sledge

4/5

Like ts, it kinda reminds me of Madonna but either way more disco. The first few songs were great.

Elastica

4/5

Liked the vocals, nice guitars too. Didn’t pay enough attention to choose a fav track tho

Paul Simon

2/5

A high 2

Ten

Pearl Jam

3/5

Pretty decent. Might need to listen to it again to appreciate it.

Bone Machine

Tom Waits

1/5

Surely this cannot count for actual singing

Fever Ray

4/5

I rlly like this, though i had only heard “If I had a heart” before. Favourite track: “Now’s the only time I know”

Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs

Derek & The Dominos

4/5

Nice instrumentals, vocals weren’t rlly that good. 4 is generous btw

Let It Bleed

The Rolling Stones

5/5

Perhaps this caught me in a good mood cuz it currently sounds to me like Miley Cyrus sounds to divorced moms in their late 40’s. Only a couple songs I didn’t particularly like. Favourites: “Gimme Shelter”, “Live with me” and “ You can’t always get what you want”.

Club Classics Vol. One

Soul II Soul

4/5

Nice but why are they forcing me to listen to a singular song 3 times? Enjoyable enough. Low 4
