I have listened to frank zappa before but never really got his sense of humour or understood the satire, and this album is no exception. Maybe I am just a dumb millennial. This was bordering close to pretentiousness but I suppose I understand a little bit why it got good reviews. I might listen to other frank zappa albums though, such as Joe's Garage
Now I see where Public image got their sound from. I admit I enjoy post punk more than punk, and this album was kinda fun to listen to, although it was a bit long. I had never even heard of The Fall until today.
When it comes to electronic music I like mine to be rhythmic and catchy, especially when combined with the harshness of industrial music. This just feels way too ambient for my tastes, I could not get through all of it. This feels like the backing track to a hawkwind song minus the guitars and drumming
I must say I definitely enjoyed this one. Makes a nice change to hear some classic rock, especially from a band that I know only one or two songs from. It goes a little bit into prog rock around the second half but I don't mind. Will definitely listen to more Slade albums in future.
I was never really that keen on the Strokes since I found their energy to be a bit lacking at times, but this album wasn't too bad to listen to. I do prefer to listen to other garage rock artists like The Hives and Royal Republic though. At least the songs were quick, simple and jolly.
Even though this type of music is about as far removed from my current tastes, this was not too bad of an album. This sort of music usually contains too much blues for me to get into it but somehow listening to an entire album did not feel like a drag. Although I don't plan on actively going out to look for more blues rock music any time soon.
Its only 41 minutes long but felt like less than 30. Lately I have been getting into post punk and new wave bands of the 80s such as new order, public image and Depeche Mode. I get the feeling that this band was at least a partial influence on the birth of industrial rock. So as you can imagine, I did enjoy this album. My dad had their Infected album on CD but I never listened to it. Perhaps I will give it a listen some time.
Finally an album I have listened to before, and it is an absolute banger. Eminem is one of the best rappers out there and this alongside The Slim Shady LP and The Eminem Show represent him at his best. I love how he manages to come up with the most shocking and controversial lyrics that comment on the hypocrisy of the media, parents, political groups and the music industry. Also his wordplay, lengthy rhyming and flow are next level. I say the best songs from the album are Stan, The way I am, and Who Knew.
I have always enjoyed listening to rolling stones' Hot rocks compilation album, and I suppose it is about time I listened to their later work. This album was actually not too bad, although I wasn't really paying attention since I was concentrating on drawing, but I may give it a proper listen some other time.
This album was ok. some of the songs did feel like generic rock, although I did like Had To Handle. Didn't realise it was them that did that song, I hear it a lot on the radio. Not much to say about this band though.
did not listen to this album. Lauryn Hill is a bit of a controversial figure in the rap world so I think I will avoid her for the time being
My dad use to play this album on occasion and I am familiar with most of the songs, but I never properly listened to it until today. And honestly, I really enjoyed it. The Passenger and Lust for life are definitely the best tracks on here. I did not even know that David Bowie produced and sang in it. My mum will be shocked that I was completely unfamiliar with this fact. I have also listened to some albums of Iggy and the Stooges, and they were definitely ahead of their time. This was where punk music was born, and it is all thanks to the big man himself Iggy Pop who is 78 and still going.
I could not get through this album. I do not like his voice at all.
My only bit of familiarity of de la soul was from Superfast jellyfish and Feel Good Inc by Gorillaz, so I had no idea what this album was going to be like. Honestly, it was surprisingly good. I kinda liked its more positive sounding tone and sense of humour compared to other rap albums I have listened to. I definitely see how this would influence 90s hip hop bands such as Public Enemy. I like the progressive jazzy structure that this album uses, it almost feels like the hip hop equivalent of a frank zappa album. I should listen to more hip hop and rap albums like this in future.
no. for obvious reasons I am absolutely not listening this album
PJ Harvey is proof that music is an art form, and she shows it by being a multi-instrumentalist and talented songwriter. just about every song sounds different to each other a is able to reinvent herself on just about every album. This album and Bring you My Love are probably her best, and This is Love is probably my favourite song that she has done
don't really know what to make of this. I was never hugely keen on psychadelic rock but I suppose this was worth a listen. I had never even heard of Jango Jango
Its an ok album but I find it to be too jangly and safe for my tastes. I do give them credit though by managing to combine grunge with pop punk, sort of like Silverchair meets Ramones. I am familiar with Mrs Robinson which is an ok song but that's about it. Didn't know it was a cover though.
wasnt planning on listening to this since they are overrated and I dont enjoy listening to the same ten songs on the radio over and over again. now I appreciate them more. I like this album because I prefer them during their early progressive rock era rather than going poppy when they got really popular. I would like to listen to sheer heart attack and news of the world someday though
It's about time this website finally recommended a heavy metal album, and it is one that pretty much launched the NWOBHM genre, and was the beginning of a legendary career that has lasted over 50 years. This is a very different version of Iron maiden to the killer riffs, operatic vocals, and epic themes that they are famous for. This had more elements of punk and less progressive themes, and despite not yet having Bruce Dickinson provide the high soaring vocals, this is still a pretty damn solid album. I will jhave give it four stars though because otherwise giving it five would mean I would have to find a way to give Powerslave and Somewhere in Time 6 stars.
This album was ok. There are some damn good songs but this was the early days for foo fighters. Dave grohl was the only member and wasn't long after the end of Nirvana, so the grunge sound was still very prevalent in a lot of songs on this album . It hadn't quite found its footing yet with establishing its own identity separate from Nirvana. But there are still some good songs like This is a Call and I'll Stick Around. Dave Grohl was the only member at the time so they wouldn't become a fully fledged band until the next album. Not a bad album but still too close to nirvana to make an impact yet.
I have never heard of this band before, probably because they were so short lived. With the kind of music they play it makes sense that bands like Public Image Ltd would overshadow them. Really the only thing that gives them a unique identity is the combination of neo-psychadelia and post punk. Songs are alright but that's about it.
Pixies have a way of making noise and shouting somehow easy to listen to. somehow the amateurish song structures and abrasive vocals are suitable enough for at least a few of the songs to appear on the radio. This is also apparent on other albums like Surfa Rosa and Tromp Le Monde. Pretty much a perfect example of alternative rock
A pretty solid debut album by Ian Dury and The Blockheads. It feels like a representation of low class cockney british life. Although the rock aspect is a bit light for me, it still has an upbeat tone that shows a level of positive light when living in 70s britain.
Can't really get into this sort of music. It is too light for me in terms of american rock. Once again it goes too far into blues territory.
RIP David Bowie. One of the most creative artists in music history, always reinventing himself to keep things fresh during his long career. This album is no exception. He took a risk in making sure his final album was not radio friendly but at the same time manages to avoid being pretentious. You can tell from the lyrics that he knew he was dying and ready to go to the great beyond, but not to the point of making it overly sad and depressing. Its a pretty good album that leans into elements of space rock and does not feel like a drag to get through. The only other albums I have listened to though are Ziggy Stardust and Hunky Dory, so I need to give some others a listen eventually.
this album is unavailable on prime music. so I cannot listen to it yet
