I hate to say so, and call me basic if you like, but I've actually enjoyed so much listening to this album. Maybe this album (or Bon Jovi in general) is one of the reasons why metal started to become poppier and ultramainstream, and it's full of generic, basic, cliché and pretty predictable songs. But it's truly a lot of fun, and it flows pretty well. The songs never become too cloying, and it's a very well (over)produced album. Yes, of course it's made for the hits... But, call it a guilty pleasure, this album has very nice songs, and it sounds so good. Also, they have a very distinctive sound, which is not always something easy. Of course it's because of the stadium focus of this music, but it's part of the band's personality too. And... well, I've liked it. What else can I say?

Well, this album is at parts interesting at parts so bland and boring. Some songs are nice, but others are more of the same that has been listened before but on repeat. And the sound is so monotonous that it feels like the album doesn't flow at all. So, it's sometimes good, sometimes bad, to be honest. Did I like this? Not much. It's a pretty average album with some nicer tracks.

This album is exquisite and immaculate. Ella Fitzgerald is such a great singer, and the songs are all (or most of them) fantastic. It's a very long album (well, it's a box set, actually, I don't know whether to consider this project an album or a collection of some records), but it flows so quickly and, in the end, it's about three hours of pure joy, excitement and delight. I must admit it's not easy to listen to it in one go, I had to pause it at some point and return to it some hours after. Mainly because it's hard to ensure three hours of just listening to music. But it's a pretty great project and, as a box set, it allows you to make stops and return, enjoy little parts or the whole in a row. But, for sure, it's Ella Fitzgerald, and a great jazz record, so, what can go wrong? This album's like a sweet, you can never get bored, and there are always great things to discover and to be pleased with.

This album is a delight, with some fantastic songs. It's a jazz record, but with so much funk, and it's such a great combination, delivered with very good taste. The instruments sound great, all so well combined, and it's also a very funny and enjoyable album.

This album is, surprisingly, much better than what I thought it would be. It's a very enjoyable and funny record, with some pretty nice songs. It's not a great album, nor a very interesting one, but, sometimes, music is listened for fun, as a form of entertainment (it is). And I've liked a lot listening to this album.

I didn't expect to like it, love it that much, but this album is fire. And it's so so varied, with such great songs. The guitars are great, and Armatrading's voice is superb. As the album is. What a great discovery! There is so much soul in here, and a lot of attitude and fantastic taste. I'm very very delighted.

This album is... well... Prince making long and repetitive yet very uninteresting songs. It's insufferable to get to the end. And to think this album is one hour ten minutes long is surprising. Am I missing something or the songs are actually bad? Because I get Prince's reputation, and that he "may" be interesting as an artist, but I just don't end up liking his music (at all). And maybe I should, but his music is at times so insipid for me that I can't get to like it. And more than an hour for the album is too much. I think I have just ("kind of") liked one song and a bit of a few others. But... only one single song! The rest was a bit of funk, a bit of 80's, a bit of electronic, a bit of new wave, some moaning and let's see what happens. Well, nothing good, actually. Just a very bland album.

This album is fantastic, and a fabulous, funny and so enjoyable musical experience, but so so interesting too. This album is such a crazy one, with so many layers and energy, and a very high quality. The first song is, for me, the best in here, but everything is so great! This album is such a delight, an insanely funny delight.

I didn't have any expectations on this album and... I've truly enjoyed it, and so so much. It has some great songs, and, overall, it's a very varied and funny album to listen to. It has songs that I didn't like that much, but, considering how many there are in this record, it's amazing to find so much great stuff. So, well, I'm very surprised.

This album is pretty good. It's such an enjoyable one. It's not fantastic, but all the songs are great, and that makes the album flow really quick. The Band has very good albums, I prefer their self-titled record, but this one is also a very nice one. So, even though I'm not impressed, I am more than delighted.

At first, I didn't know how an album full of "Imagines" would sound like but... It's not that album, and with just one Imagine is beautiful enough to also let other sounds integrate such an interesting and enjoyable record. Most of the songs here are great, and, the album itself is too. I've loved this.

Musically, this album is mid, not a great one, for sure. But it's listenable, and, at some extent, even nice. So I am a bit overwhelmed because... oh, how prepotent Morrisey is... and it also applies to his music. It feels like a kind of intellectual act that I still can't find interesting, and I'm not willing to either. So, well, at least it's a kind of sweet music, pretty simple at (many) times but effective for him and his voice. If it weren't because of some lyrics and... Morrisey, overall. But I'll stick to the music, it's not my cup of tea. It truly isn't.

This album is such a great one. The begging is fabulous, and those first two songs really elevate the album since it kicks off. But, overall, the songs are all great. Bowie really knows how to make good music, that's no surprise, and this album is an example of such an impeccable discography (with its highs and lows, of course, but always having so high standards).

This album is such a masterpiece, with so many beautiful layers, and still being so deep. It's not the best Pink Floyd album, I wouldn't say so (but it's close to be, of course), but this just shows (at least to me) the greatness of the band. The Dark Side of the Moon is not that psychedelic as other Pink Floyd albums, but it's a fantastic conceptual album, so greatly done and delivered. 1973 has to be a special year for music... I mean, this album, plus Tubular Bells, Houses of the Holy,... So many great albums were released that year. And this one is of the best, being more of a long song rather than small ones. They all blend into each other so well, with such taste and with so much to dive in that it is such an immersive and rich musical experience where there is so much variety and still a very clear and defined sound. Overall, an album to consider as one of the greatest of all time... yet to say that there should be space for, at least, one more Pink Floyd album. But this one's such a delight.

Well, it's not as bad as it could be, but this album, again, does not convince me about hip-hop. The samples are well integrated, and, sometimes, they sound nice with the song, but it's still the same boring thing. At least some songs are not that horrible.

This album rocks! The songs are all so enjoyable and powerful, and it doesn't lose any quality. Every song is a great addition, even though I have my preferences and not all are fantastic, but, still, it's a fantastic album. This album truly gives you so much energy! And it's a pretty cool way to combine heavy metal with a mainstream sound. It's not that the album is anything mind-blowing, or something new in music, but, who cares if the music is great?

This album is a mixture of good and not-that-good songs. And it's a shame, because I enjoyed some parts of it, but, some songs made me lose a bit the interest. Overall, it's a pretty nice album, with some great ideas, and very well recorded. It's maybe not an album I would listen to, but it is very enjoyable. So, it is nice. It truly is.

This album is very ethereal... so ethereal that it becomes an uninteresting and bland atmospheric music. It is slow, and not in a good sense. The album just goes through a kind of music that, even though sometimes it is in some way "beautiful", it becomes redundant and with no direction. And it neither transmits anything to me, so, there is not much here to dive in.

This album is pretty much of the same thing over and over again, repeating a bland style that doesn't seem to go nowhere, actually. And maybe that's the fun thing with the title of the album, because this record gets so long and repetitive that becomes an insipid with no clear direction. I guess it's not my kind of music at all, but this album is very much acclaimed for what it actually contains. I can't find it interesting or exciting in the least.

This album is delicious. It has some great songs. And it is such a joyful and enjoyable album. I've loved listening to it. This kind of Irish folk/rock music is fantastic, and in this album there are pretty great musicians, and some interesting tracks too. It's a great experience, for sure.
