Synchronicity

The Police · 1 likes

4/5

i always found the police to be one of the strangest bands out there. it doesn't make sense to me why were they so popular at one point. their albums confused me, i always thought they were all over the place stylistically, i struggled to listen to their albums to completion. but now that i've finished synchronicity, it got me curious about the rest of their discography, i think i'll give their other LPs a listen too. and my opinion hasn't changed at all, i am still confused by the police, the amount of musical genre influence in the album is a bit overwhelming and i find it to lack a some cohesion. but honestly i don't mind all of that at all. i loved the album. it's strange and intriguing and... it just tickles my brain in a certain peculiar way and i like it.

Pearl Jam

4/5

Classic grunge, great debut album, though personally i find it hard to listen to it after a while

The Köln Concert

Keith Jarrett

4/5

Not a classical or piano music listener at all, but this is was a nice experience, esp Part I. Loved hearing all the stomps, the vocalisations, just pure emotion flowing on the piano. While Part I felt very dynamic, Part II was a bit tiresome, as the underlying rhythm melody felt a little too repetitive. Overall, a good experience, def would think about grabbing this on vinyl if i saw one

Green River

Creedence Clearwater Revival

2/5

I can appreciate this band and their influence on the music scene altogether but.... i guess this album is just not my cup of tea

Here's Little Richard

Little Richard

4/5

Very energetic, very fun. A pretty short album although that's not a bad thing. Even though the album does have an older sound and style (the old r&b), i think it stands the test of time quite fine.

Cloud Nine

The Temptations

4/5

Very soulful, very groovy, i quite liked it, especially Runaway Child, Running Wild

Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots

The Flaming Lips

3/5

very strange, dreamy and psychedelic, almost feels like i'm in a fever dream while listening to the album. the lyrics are imo pretty unremarkable and borderline childish though somehow, combined with the structure of the songs and melodies, it keeps you deep (maybe not that deep) in thought about the messages behind them all.

Automatic For The People

R.E.M.

4/5

it's one of those albums where i will bob my head throughout and when the album's done i'll go "mm, good album!".. and that's honestly all i can say about this one, it's hard to find other words for it. it's good! i like it!

Thriller

Michael Jackson

5/5

insanely strong middle, solid beginning and ending. paul mccartney tried to ruin it but i didn't mind him in that one song. great album!

At Folsom Prison

Johnny Cash

4/5

hearing johnny's banter and the cheering of inmates definitely makes this album a much better experience than it would be if it was just a studio record. very fun listen

Led Zeppelin II

Led Zeppelin

5/5

ahh what a classic. it just makes me wonder why i refused to listen to led zeppelin when i was younger, i feel like i should've and would've loved them

The Visitors

ABBA

4/5

abba doing abba stuff

Synchronicity

The Police

4/5

The Modern Dance

Pere Ubu

2/5

great art piece! not a great music piece though

Who's Next

The Who

3/5

the first and the last song are bangers, but the rest of the album is kind of a drag

The Fat Of The Land

The Prodigy

4/5

the album starts and ends in an aggresive and violent tone but in the middle it tones down (just a little), gets a little more repetitive. i kinda wish it kept the super high energy throughout the whole album. the lyrics are whatever. nevertheless, the album is great, it's iconic. definitely not an album (or the band in general) that you just sit and listen to, you have to experience it, whether in a party, rave or a live show (which i did and it was amazing!)

Young Americans

David Bowie

3/5

i love david bowie but i really don't care about blue-eyed soul at all. the only songs i trully enjoyed are 'fascination' and 'fame'. and it's probably because they are more funk than soul.

Bryter Layter

Nick Drake

5/5

i just seem to connect deeply with really depressed people and their music

Beautiful Freak

Eels

3/5

great sound, alright lyrics, awful album cover. i liked it but it wasn't anything special

The ArchAndroid

Janelle Monáe

5/5

very cohesive and well put this album for the variety of different sounds and styles it has. this album exceeded each and every of my expectations.
