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“

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
