Best smashing pumpkings album.
Best songs:
1. Today
2. Spaceboy
3. Mayonaise
Beautifull album, some filler imo, but has some great highs.
1. Cecilia
2. The only living boy in New York
3. Bridge over troubled water
Great, heavy album, sometimes a bit too heavy and monotone for me.
1. Rape me
2. Heart-Shaped Box
3. Marigold (not on original album, but good enough)
Not one of the best Queen records, got some real highs like Killer Queen, but overall a pretty forgetable Queen record which doesn't mean its bad.
1. Killer Queen
2. Brighton Rock
3. In the laps of the gods
One of THE essential brit pop albums. Beautifull album with a lot of hidden gems and amazing hits.
1. Common people
2. Something changed
3. Disco 2000
Amazing artrock swansong from this legendary artist. Some songs are sometimes to experimental/jazzy for me, but overall a really interesting experience.
1. Lazarus
2. Star
3. 'Tis a pity she was a whore
Beautifull record capturing a lot of great qualities of the early beach boys. Maybe not their best, but has a nice collection of songs.
1. Help me Rhonda
2. Do you wanna dance
3. Dance, dance, dance
Interesting post 1967 album by the beach boys, definetly not their best but has some fun songs. Disney girls is a real personal favorite.
1. Disney Girls (1957)
2. Long Promised Road
3. Don't Go Near the Water
Amazing album start to finish, unique indie-britpop style. Always great to return to this one after not listening to it for a while.
1. I wanna be adored
2. She bangs the drums
3. This is the one
Interesting album, don't like everything on it but it has a certain vibe to it that makes it in a way an enjoyable listen. Too long for its good but some good electronic music. Not many songs I would listen on a random day tho.
1. Move any mountian
2. Possible Worlds: Deep PSI
3. Make It Mine
My second listen, and I appreciate it more and more, the first halve was amazing funky music with some beautifull ballads. The second halve starts dragging on tho, it should have been cut a bit shorter.
1. Under the bridge
2. I could have lied
3. Funky monks
Interesting indie album, very melodic, but the voice and melodies don't always hit for me. Some great songs and great concept behind the album.
1. Neighborhood #1 (Tunnels)
2. Rebellion (Lies)
3. Neighborhoood #2 (Laika)
Amazing look into samba/bossa nova music. Tiro Ao Alvaro is espicially great. The rest is a bit more mehh for me, but I did enjoy it.
1. Tiro Ao Alvaro
2. Se Eu Quiser Falar Com Deus
3. Rebento
Interesting, but not 100% my style, I'm more like melodic samples etc... This got a lot of scratches etc... I did find songs worth revisiting.
1. Don't believe the hype
2. She watched channel zero?!
3. Black steel in the hour of chaos
Difficult to rate, I think on revisiting I will enjoy it more, it still sounds a bit too poppy (idk why) to me. I do not get why some of the songs are so popular in comparison to others, interesting album.
1. Infinity
2. Stars
3. Crystalized
Heavey psychedelic album, I appreciate it but after a while you've heard it all, and those long songs can get repititive. It's not bad at all, but I don't know not in the mood for it.
1. When you love
2. Happy Trails
3. Who do you love - Pt1
Beautifull classics. A bit too long which makes it have filler. But really enjoyed it.
1. Someday (You'll want me to want you)
2. No letter today
3. Bye Bye Love
Interseting listen, but sometimes to experimental for me. Did like some songs, Psycho Killer is a lovely classic. Should definitely relisten to it.
1. Psycho Killer
2. Uh-Oh, Love Comes to Town
3. Pulled Up
An album that definitely grows on you. Still not fully convinced by it, it's sad that you can't always hear the lyrics, interesting music, to be revisited.
1. when you sleep
2. sometimes
3. soon
Wasn't to sure at first about a country album from 1959, but I did enjoy it some fun songs I really loved. Some different country styles. Good.
1. The Master's Call
2. They're Hanging Me Tonight
3. Utah Carol
Very proggy, but too much for my taste at many times, sometimes I'm listening to some nice build-up to a melody and it gets interrupted. It has some standouts but aaah the proggy-ness of it all sometimes makes me like it less.
1. Long Distance Runaround
2. Mood for a day
3. Roundabout
Great album, great guitarwork by the legend, sometimes I miss a bit of simple softer melodies on some songs. Overall fantastic.
1. Little Wing
2. Castles Made of Sand
3. Bold as Love
Very Bluesy album, some songs I like, some I don't. Not their best album, but an interesting listen.
1. Blue Sunday
2. Pace Frog
3. Waiting for the Sun
Iconic album, and I prefer a lot of the smaller songs to the hits, the hits are great ofcourse but there are some other gems on here.
1. Human Nature
2. The girl is mine
3. The Lady in my Life
Amazing debut record. Really love Babe I'm gonna leave you. Could be a bit more interesting at times in some songs for me, but overall its a great experience to listen too. Heavy.
1. Babe I'm Gonna Leave You
2. Good Times Bad Times
3. Your Time Is Gonna Come
An enjoyable listen through different soundscapes. This Brian Eno is a bit more conventional with more common song structure with singing etc... Great listen.
1. Needles In The Camel's Eye
2. Cindy Tells Me
3. Here Come The Warm Jets
Early verves still, some great music and tunes, some thick guitars driving songs forward, but they still lack that "it" factor they'll get with urban hymns. Nice listen, but yeah, they can do better than this.
1. On Your Own
2. History
3. This Is Music
Pleasently surprised by this one. It's not just metal, its mixed with heavy rock, stadium rock etc... Metal is not always my thing, but loved listening to this one.
1. Breaking the law
2. United
3. Living after midnight
Love the Who, but I think they miss some of their hits on this live album, I like the energy on it.
1. A Quick One, While He's Away
2. My Generation
3. Substitute
A pleasant listen to some original simple folk music. Liked some songs and instrumental tracks, but sometimes it lacks something more.
1. Needle of death
2. Angie
3. Dreams of love
First time listen, loved it, one of the best punk records I've ever head. Loved the mix of different style from funk to reggae into punk. Truly an amazing record.
1. I against I
2. Re-Ignition
3. Sacred Love
Pff, not my cup of tea, it's just so experimental that it loses itself from deliviring nice songs to listen too in some cases. It's very theatrical with different voices and instruments carrying the album. I did enjoy some parts, but I don't see myself revisiting this very soon.
1. Suspended in the gaffa
2. Leave it open
3. Houdini
I was blown away when this album started, so many songs I've already heard, but these live version are even better. Makes me want to relisten to some thin lizzy songs. Amazing energy, vocal, instruments etc... In the second half it does get a bit less interesting, as not their best songs get played. Liked this album.
1. Southbound
2. Jailbreak
3. Still in love with you
Amazing Sinatra album, great classics sung by him, some songs go way back for me, love his swooning voice throughout this album. Great.
1. You Brought A New Kind Of Love To Me
2. Love Is Here To Stay
3. I've Got You Under My Skin
Funny whimsical album by the kinks. Sometimes it's just a bit too, normal kinksy? Idk what to say but I miss very special moments/songs that are just bangers like Victoria. But was a nice listen however.
1. Victoria
2. She's Bought a Hat Like Princess Marina
3. Shangri-La
What a difference between the first and second half. The first half isn't great to go trough, did not enjoy. Second half has ofcourse the big hits, but has some variation in some more eighties stuff, or more slower things. Shame of the first half.
1. Every Breath You Take
2. Murder By Numbers
3. King Of Pain
Amazing gmalrock album from start to end. Not all songs are as great but damn does have some great guitar work riffs on the songs. And ofcourse I notice where oasis ripped off ;).
1. Cosmic Dancer
2. Get It On
3. Life's A Gas
Very glammy ecclectic album, they have much better stuff then this, but it does hold it's identity. Don't think it's quite my style of Queen music but I do appreciate it.
1. Father To Son
2. White Queen (As It Begins)
3. Seven Seas Of Rhye
First time listen! Loved it, so many gems on this album (and the unreleased Shelter of Your Arms). Will definetely listen to revisit the soft songs, energetic songs, poetic songs and the stories they tell.
1. Train in the Distance
2. Song About the Moon
3. René and Georgette Magritte with Their Dog After the War
The "Metal" album of all time. Metal isn't really my genre, but yeah I obviously like the hits here which are amazing, but for an album as a whole for my non-metal ears it gets a bit repititive. Still great tho.
1. Enter Sandman
2. Nothing Else Matters
3. Sad But True
Nice album, classic early beegees, a few years ago I would liked it much more, at the moment not my style, so maybe revisit it in the future.
1. How Can You Mend A Broken Heart?
2. Israel
3. When Do I
Nice folk album, could be a bit more refined in my opinion, nice to see the orignal version of Everybody's Talkin's.
1. Everybody's Talkin'
2. Sweet Cocaine
3. The Dolphins
As expected very psychedelic. I could appreciate it, but it's not something I would put on on another day. You're gonna miss me was a nice song tho.
1. You're Gonna Miss Me
2. Splash 1
3. Fire Engine
I prefer his work with Genesis and this album wasn't really my cup of tea. It's just too 80's for me.
1. In your eyes
2. Big time
3. Sledgehammer
Has some great songs, but at some points its a bit too much of person talking over some postrock music(?). I do love some of the songs and think I'll appriciate it more with more relistens and reading into the lyrics.
1. Gloria: In Excelsis Deo
2. Kimberly
3. Free Money
Well this style of rap isn't really my thing, but she did pleasently surprise me and being a female rapper in that period didn't make this less quality in that style of rap. Had a few songs I did enjoy.
1. Dance for Me
2. Wrath of My Madness
3. Come into My House
The best Linkin Park album, a style thats not always something for me, but here its executed amazingly. Love the mix between singing and rap.
1. In the end
2. Forgotten
3. One Step Closer
Thank you for letting me listen to this amazing album, every song on this album is a gem with amazing guitarwork. Some songs slower, some faster amazing front to back.
1. Layla
2. Bell Bottom Blues
3. Anyday
Very experimental, voice wasn't in tune anywhere. I could appreciate some parts of what they were doing, but some parts of the music and voice where too distracting to really enjoy it.
1. I, Will wait
2. (Pa) Ubu Dance Party
3. On the surface
Love the first three songs, after that it gets a bit stale, some songs are still standout, but rest aren't that intersting to listen too, and too eighties for me (even tho its not from then).
1. My Best Friend's Girl
2. Just What I Needed
3. Good Times Roll
This album really was a nice experience being engulfed in the irish folk scene. Though that's not something I really listen too a lot I could really appreciate a lot of songs here and was swept up by the mood brought in some of them.
1. Fairytale of New York
2. If I Should Fall from Grace with God
3. Lullaby of London
What an amazing punk album, love the energy, the short songs, the lyrics. This album is what punk is all about.
1. California Uber Alles
2. Holiday in Cambodia
3. Kill the Poor
