This album is actually beautiful. It's so soft and at the same time pretty interesting at some parts. It's not that I've loved it but I have really appreciated Brel's music and the way he delivers it live. This album sounds really good and with so much taste.

This album is pretty fun to listen to. It's very enjoyable, I've loved listening to it, and it has many interesting songs too, with some great musical choices and rhythmic changes. It's like diving into a different world, a different time. And the music in here is made with such great taste too.

This album is great. It's not as fantastic as Abbey Road – because that album is marvelous and a tough one to overpass –, but it's one of those experimental Beatles albums that are full of different influences, in this case, very influenced by Indian music, and also a lot of joy. This album is a musical trip, but a very eclectic and enjoyable one. The songs are great, the album is fabulous, the different layers and musical arrangements are very well delivered in this masterpiece of an album. So, let's not compare, because it's not "still" Abbey Road, but it's such a huge album full of great music, experimental and full of joy at the same time.

This album is great. There are so many layers and influences that merge so well in here that make this album a very immersive and interesting experience. I've liked and enjoyed a lot listening to it.

This album is great, so lively and classy. This album has no skips, and goes really quick, but being great all the time. So, even if it's not perfect for me, as I prefer other kinds of music, I can't deny how much I've enjoyed listening to it and how great it is.

This is magnificent, a very lively album so full of joy and great musicians performing such great music. Though the speeches break a bit the feeling of a whole and distract, they are part of a live performance, and it, in some way, adds that feeling of being there, connecting with the music at another level, in another way. It's much more organic. So, it's great. I've loved every single second of it.

What a boring album again! The songs become very repetitive and uninteresting by the first minute and, honestly, there is nothing that can be a little interesting in here. The songs feel like copies of other artists with that indie touch (which seems to be the synonym of music for boring people who like a little of acoustic and repetitiveness to call good music, nothing very challenging or "loud", for sure). But I can't get what can be considered good here. It's just a pastiche of different sounds and instruments with no real sense but to sound "more interesting". Well, some songs aren't that bad, some instrumentals are beautiful, but Jeff Tweedy... well, his voice is many times annoying, actually. The rest, very monotonous, which means, again, boring. And it doesn't get better.

Well... this is actually pretty bland. And how I hate when songs are enlarged just for the sake of making them longer. Alright (and Jonz In My Bonz and, to be honest, every single song on this album) is the example of that. Is the last minute necessary? No and, actually, is half of the album necessary? It gets very repetitive and uninteresting. It's just some guy moaning over songs with soulless "soul" and hip-hop percussion bases. And how I dislike (to not say hate) hip-hop! And this album is not better, it's not good at all. But, well, I guess I've listened to many other worst albums, so I give two stars to this one (but now I'm feeling too generous for such a boredom).

I didn't know what to expect. Judging by the cover, it could be death metal, noise, or... well, whatever. But, for sure, I wasn't expecting this. It's pretty unique and original. That's for sure. And I value a lot originality, even if almost a half of the album consists of covers. There are many layers in the songs, it's strange but haunting. But... was I expecting to like it? I thought so at the beginning. And maybe expectations killed the experience at some point because it's not "that" much of my like, to be honest. And I don't even know if I like it or not. But it's a quite epic album, with so many orchestrations, and many industrial parts too. Like... there's place for everything! So, I guess I like this one. But I'm very confused and amazed and delighted and aghast at the same time!

This album is much better than what I expected. However, it's still far from being completely of my like. There are two songs that are great, that I loved listening to. But the rest is more or less the same upbeat 2000's rock that, at some point, becomes repetitive and irrelevant (which doesn't imply that it's not part of the songs I liked, but they have some touch that distances them from the other songs, which, for me, are blander and more generic). But it's a nice one. I've liked listening to it (and it isn't what I thought when I saw this was today's album). The music is good (even though not my cup of tea all the time), there are some nice lyrics, musical changes and diversity on the songs (which is something I love, specially in the songs in which they switch to an acoustic sound), so I guess for me this album deserves four stars; not a masterpiece but for sure a great one that I would listen to again.

This album is really good. Not so much my cup of tea, but it's such an enjoyable one. Some songs are great, that's for sure, and I love Jeff Beck's guitars. However, some other songs are not that great, so it's a good one, but not good enough to deserve five stars.

This one is such a funny and enjoyable album. I didn't expect to like it that much, but it truly is such a great album. Some songs are very good, and the first two songs start the album with a lot of energy. I wish the album sounded more like those first two songs, because it has other songs that are not really my cup of tea. But, as an overall, it's a very enjoyable album.

How not to love Sufjan? This album is enchantingly beautiful, a wonderful trip in time and space through the delightful instrumentations he creates, lovely and nostalgic, vivid and sad atmospheres. Sufjan Stevens is such a great musician, with great taste. And in this Illinois he creates a very poetic – also through the sounds – album. This album is fantastic, very bright from start to end, and how delicious and enchanting it is to listen to it! It's magnificent, for sure.

This is actually really good, but, well, it's an album of Christmas songs, there is nothing to actually hate about the content. So, nothing outstanding but for sure it is quite nice. Though I wouldn't listen to it out of Christmas time. Sure, today is Christmas, so, Merry Christmas everyone! Let's see what's tomorrow's surprise...

This album is absolutely enchanting, with so many layers and different sounds. I'm so impressed by how a complex and enjoyable album it is. It has a lot of experimentation, but also a lot of taste. Some parts of the record – concretely, the song Alife – remind me of Current 93's neo-folk, which is quite interesting. I find this album very unique and beautiful. It's not an easy listening, but sure it deserves the attention required; it's such a pleasant, delicate and fantastic musical experience.

This album is good, but I guess I had much expectations on this one that I found myself not enjoying that much the album. It's quite good, some songs are nice, but the overall is a bit too trying to be something else and ending up being not that interesting nor excellent.

This is awful. I don't like hip-hop, to start with. It gets very boring and, honestly, if the beats changed a bit or something... If the lyrics were a bit more interesting... But, instead, what you get are soulless songs with basic beats and insipid and stupid lyrics that rely on violence, curse, and sex just to be less... tasteless? Well, it gets even worse. It's not that I'm opposed to using violence or sex as topics, I don't get that offended, surely, but... those lyrics? I mean, there are things that should embarrass everyone. And, when it's about making something disruptive, there are ways and ways. And it's neither disruptive but a way to reinforce very odd and dated images. And the music, again, what's the point on a so long album if there is nothing interesting on here? Well, I guess the ego. Then, I'm sorry, you may be notorious, but not big, for sure.

This album is really good. It's very enjoyable. Not a great one, but sure a very decent one with such good songs. Although, it's not much my cup of tea, so I don't have much to say, but I can see myself listening to this album from time to time.

This album is actually supreme. A pure masterclass on jazz, so delicately constructed and with so so so much taste. The talent here is immense. It is such a masterpiece of an album.

This album is delightfully beautiful, with so many great songs. I already knew I was going to like it, and it's just confirmed me that Neil Young is such an amazing songwriter, with such amazing songs.
