Long and varied, like going on an adventure. Doesn't have any really strong singles
One of my favorite albums. Feels like being alone in the night. Never realized it was categorized as trip-hop
Good, but I couldn't shake the feeling that it sounds dated and that I "should" enjoy it more. Actively unpleasant at times, but kind of the point of the art message
Hard to compete with happy nostalgic memories of earlier Bowie songs. Another album elevated by its place and moment in time. My favorite parts here are the moody saxophone parts
Fun. I'd never heard the title track with the vocals stuttering before
Interesting mix of casual and homey with complex anthems
Jigsaw falling pushes this one past a four
Fun. Sounds like a skateboarding album, but nothing I'm eager to revisit
Just ok; was the first album in this journey that didn't keep my attention. The parts straying into other genres are what did stand out
I'm not really interested in scrutinizing the lyrics, might be higher or lower
Given the pop culture image of Dylan being incomprehensible, him squeezing in so many words while still being melodic is amazing. I shouldn't have put off listening to his work for so long
Solid rock album
Despite how familiar I am with highway star it gave me goosebumps this time, so gotta go with five even if there's some downtime in this album
Some classics but also some strange parts
Concepts that I like put together in a way that just didn't click at all with me
I liked it enough to buy the album at the time, the singles are still good and have their place as popular karaoke options, but it ms near the bottom in my list of songs to return to
New to me; fun, but nothing really stood out to me on it
The radio singles are still great, but the repiditive parts detract
Cover made me expect a predecessor to the mighty mighty bosstones and was not disappointed
Even after listening to the full album I haven't pinned down exactly why I don't like Winehouse's songs. Some combination of the lyrics and/or trappings of soul. The single exception is Back to Black, which is an excellent song
Very melodic, could see myself listening to it again
Le Freak is a classic, but it's the only song on the album that I'd want to revisit. The rest is ok
Great songs, like the earlier Deep Purple album, Paranoid pushes this one past a four for me
Decent songs, really ruined by excessive ads from trying a different platform for listening. Familiar with a few already, not wanting to go back to
Sounds from the 70s but doesn't feel dated often
Hurt alone could make this 5 stars for me, but it even fits well within the story of the album. Still don't fully get into the industrial metal parts
First country album in this journal. Good, but another case where I think the lyrics are important to its impact. It really didn't help that the first of such albums put me off it with talking about masters and pretty girls, so while I'm not going to do lyric analysis factor context and history into my ratings, I will try to listen more attentively again in the future
Good, but could do without the occasional obnoxious trumpet and the crowd noise that gets more prominent later in
I appreciate the talent behind the falsetto, but it didn't make the listening experience better - almost brought it down to a two
Glad to have learned about this band, hadn't heard of them before and am interested in checking out more of their music.
Some classic hits, but I've heard them enough
A German proto blue man group? Nice
Never realized this was an 80s album. Held up great in the 90s and today. Given that listening made me smile a few times and sing along a few times, going higher than four
I like Maggie May, but don't get how this album topped the charts. Sounds fine but average to me
Enjoyed it all the way through, but there were not any parts I specifically wanted to relisten to
Its ok, but when I think it is getting repetitive multiple times in its only 15 minutes that's a problem
Was debating between 3 and 4; Loneliest Person was a strong finish that gave me goosebumps on the first listen
Not much for me to say about this one, I've yet to really like any reggae music but didn't dislike this
The single Born to Run is good, but not feeling anything special for the rest. Maybe the mumbled lyrics elevate it?
Great throughout. Floored by the middle of China girl and held up on second listen
Feels a bit like jazz. I like it but nothing I really latch onto. Interesting to me that it is another German band that reminds me of Blue Man Group
I do like There There, but not enough to bump this up to a 4
Changes was pretty catchy. Lots of variety and talent on display, but not feeling like listening again soon
Haven't heard Someone Somewhere in a while, still great so surprised it does show up more on 80s radio stations. Ot quite enough to push the album up to 4
Never heard of The Zutons, so the answer I guess is the Atlantic Ocean. Pleasant, but I don't see why they are on this list
Listening experience was a little disjointed due to a bad internet connection. No particular complaints or compliments about the music itself. A little sad to have a typo in previous journal entry
