A groundbreaking and iconic album that masterfully blends art pop with emotional depth. Its timeless sound shows a direct influence on artists like Tori Amos.
Not my thing, but always appreciate the food music.
I had never listened to this album before, and honestly, it’s the best Springsteen I’ve ever heard. I really like this folk vibe
What a powerful debut! Hynde it’s amazing
Just fine…
Ziggy befare Ziggy, but simpler and less powerful
Wild riffs and extreme rawness… here’s where the sound of the ’90s began
Fromohio has this little RHCP vibe going on, especially in the bass lines — Mike Watt really drives the songs with that funky, percussive groove. But honestly, the record feels like it never fully takes off. It hints at something bigger, like it’s warming up for a blast of energy, but then it pulls back and stays halfway. There are cool moments, sure, and the band’s chemistry is undeniable, but overall it feels more like a sketch of what could’ve been rather than the full picture. It’s solid, but you’re left thinking it had the potential to hit harder than it actually does
Sister stands out as a bold experiment, pushing boundaries and helping to shape the sound that was emerging in the underground scene of the late ’80s. I appreciate its willingness to embrace noise, dissonance, and unconventional song structures—it feels like a blueprint for what was to come. That said, while I admire its role in defining that era’s aesthetic, it doesn’t resonate with me on a visceral level as much as some other records from the same period. It’s more of a fascinating document of transition than a personal favorite
A record that blends styles with ease and energy, shifting from funk to folk while staying coherent. It’s fresh, rhythmic, and playful, which makes it stand out. Still vibrant decades later, it fully earns that 5/5
My Generation, the debut album by The Who, is less about musical sophistication and more about raw energy and youthful defiance. Released in 1965, it stood apart from contemporaries like Rubber Soul or Out of Our Heads by stripping rock down to its most aggressive essentials. The title track, with its iconic line “Hope I die before I get old,” became a generational anthem, channeling frustration and rebellion rather than polished artistry
Solid 5/5. What a hidden gem!
Iconic songs, but it hasn’t aged well
The album flows seamlessly, but the final track, Vital Signs, shifts toward reggae and new wave influences. While innovative, it doesn’t quite reach the same level of impact as the earlier songs, which makes it difficult to give the record a perfect 5/5
I discovered this album right when it turned 25, in the middle of the grunge explosion. Magnificent, solid, and meant to be listened to in its entirety. It has become a part of my life
Mastery in its purest form.
Never heard them before, pure adrenaline rush!
It’s good to be back, it’s good to be back to the place where you’ve been happy! I can’t be objective with this record — it still means the same to the young guy who used to listen to it as it does to the older one who finally got to see them live last year
recognize the quality of The Police and I’ve always listened to them, but I’ve never been a big fan. While I love the overall idea of reggae rock, it doesn’t quite resonate with me the way it should
I know… it’s history, but… 😴
10/5 for Harrison, but the rest…
Love to hear one track, but not an entire album
Debbie Harry’s voice is undeniably impressive, but Parallel Lines doesn’t fully land for me. It feels overly polished, leaning toward commercial appeal rather than offering something truly bold or innovative. The same happens with The Police: technically sharp, but the records often lack the raw force or originality that would make them more compelling
I listened to Sound Affects right after Blondie’s Parallel Lines, and the difference is striking. While Blondie feels polished and commercial, The Jam’s album comes across as sharper, more inventive, and lyrically engaging. It’s strange how one band achieved massive international diffusion, while the other remained largely confined to the UK despite delivering something far more interesting
I had never listened to Kanye in my life. I started the album ready to give it a 1/5, but what a surprise from this asshole
When it comes to folk, The Incredible String Band outshine Dylan — more inventive, more daring
First time listening ISB and love it!
Crossing the Red Sea with The Adverts has energy and sharp riffs, but the whole proposal feels unfinished. Too polished to be raw, too hesitant to be radical, it ends up stuck halfway
A clear influence on Los Fabulosos Cadillacs — discovering this album feels like uncovering the roots of their rebellious brass-driven sound. A great find
Despite its historic reputation, the debut feels emotionally distant. The harmonies are technically flawless, but they don’t convey any real depth or passion to me. It’s polished, yes, but ultimately leaves me cold
never heard of this album before, and it truly feels like a hidden gem. La Revancha del Tango blends tradition and innovation with such elegance that every track surprises me. It’s a masterpiece that redefines tango for a modern audience while keeping its soul intact
10/5
First álbum that I can’t finished. Listen one song is good, two are the limit…..
Not bad…. Nothing relevant
est debut within grunge? Maybe only on par with Core. From the very first chord of Once it’s madness. It’s incredible, but the weakest point might be Jeremy
