Maybe one day I will enjoy a hip-hop album but, to be fair, the more I listen to this genre the more I think I won't. This album is a little bit better than other hip-hop albums I've listened to. But it feels bland and repetitive. The samples are very well put in this album, they merge really well with the other elements of the songs. But, well, I've tried this album, it's just not of my taste.

Wow, Willie Nelson cannot truly make a bad album. This one is fantastic. It's conceptual, it has a cinematic vibe, also, it has different sections, so well constructed with different melodies. It's a very dynamic album. There are many beautiful instrumental parts, other funnier ones... There's place for everything. And everything merges so well! There's a main theme (or "leitmotif") that gives a great sonic cohesiveness as well as the feeling of being immersed in a tale, which is also supported by how some songs blend into the next one. All the songs contribute to the overall result, being magnificent from beginning to end. It's very enjoyable and haunting, and magnetic. I've loved it so much. I've listened to other albums by Willie Nelson but this one is the best one of them for sure.

I found this album really funny and very enjoyable. It's really good, actually, and it's got a great background. So, I wouldn't say I've found it a masterpiece but it's great to hear albums like this one.

This album is a masterpiece. I mean... all the layers and sounds here are insane. It's very theatrical, so sophisticated at times, others so wild and complex (well, it's actually complex all the time, so enjoyable and beautiful and haunting at the same time). The musical depth and care in this album are brilliant, with a very solid result so diverse yet cohesive. Some songs are not much of my taste, but those are a very small part of the album and I value (and enjoy) a lot all the "interludes" (or links between longer songs), which give this album more presence and maximize the listening experience. The overall is brilliant, most of the songs are great, even I would say magnificent. I love how in the first part of the album Another Brick in the Wall becomes a kind of "leitmotiv", even though my favorite part of the album is the second one. So, what to say about this album; it's a fantastic one. It's very close to perfection for me.

This album is actually really good. I've enjoyed it a lot listening to it. It's fresh, it's funny and it has also some interesting tracks. This album is not a masterpiece but it really is a great one and one that is definitely so enjoyable to hear.

This album is really bland and uninteresting. It has some nice arrangements, but there is nothing that really blows my mind, and the songs are not good at all. Some are nice, but others are simply insipid. So, well, it's not that bad to get one star, but it's not a good album. I would never highlight it.

That's why I feel 80's new wave (and in general) as a very boring genre. The songs are... meh! And the album is... too long for being too short! This is bland, insipid, uninteresting, generic... What else? Oh, yes, bad too. All the songs sound the same and it starts to get even annoying.

This album is great, so raw and vibrant at the same time. I mean, Johnny Cash has a power when singing that is capable of resonating on the inside, of transmitting so many things. And the songs are great too. I won't say it's perfect, as I don't think so, this album is not one of the best live albums I've ever listened to but a very decent one, with a really good repertoire and a fantastic sound. But, well, it's Johnny Cash, of course the album is great.

This album is great. I've enjoyed it so much and the songs are all so good. It's that good that it even feels short. However, sometimes it needs something more, more great songs to make me think it's awesome. This album demonstrates how good Talking Heads are but... I still need something else. I don't know what but, even if I think everything here is very good, I'm not that convinced of loving it. So, it's great, for sure, but I'll need something more to say "I love it".

This album is actually pretty good. It's wild how in some songs there are so many different and interesting layers, how they converge that well and create an effervescent atmosphere. Other songs are not that interesting but, even though, this album is very solid and enjoyable.

This album is fantastic. I haven't listened to many Beatles albums (of course, I have already listened to Abby Road, Sgt. Peppers and others, but there is a part of their discography I have never heard) and I have to admit that I am starting to think that it doesn't matter which album is next, if it's from them, I will like it. This album has some songs that are not great but most of them are really enjoyable, and some really interesting, with different layers and inspirations I truly admire. It's not a ten, but a nine out of ten for sure. What a delightful experience!

I've liked this album a lot; it has many great songs and flows really well. It felt really rapid for me, so cohesive (without being bland or repetitive) and interesting. There are songs that I felt less enjoyable but, yet, they didn't get me off this album. I won't say it's perfect but it's a solid album, a very solid one. And, of course, one I will listen to more.

This album is really beautiful, so enchanting and funny at times, ethereal and dreamy at others... I've enjoyed it a lot, it has been a very pleasant experience. Some songs didn't resonate in me much, others were blander but, overall, this album has a great and very cohesive sound atmosphere and delivery, with some great songs.

This album is good. I didn't enjoy it as much as I thought, maybe because I had high expectations, but I've liked it overall. Some songs are not much interesting, most of them are good, but nothing is remarkable enough for me. So, I liked it, but not at the extent to make me love it.

This is a nice live recording, it truly is but... it's also Nirvana, which makes even the Bowie song sound depressing (and it's not a bad cover, to be honest). Some songs were good, others not that much, the band's own songs sounded more or less the same and, well, it's not my cup of tea, of course, but I thought I would like it more. Because of the more refreshing sounds and "variety" as well as for the covers, I give this album three stars, but it's not an album I would ever highlight (and there are better live albums than this one, I have to say).

What a funny album! I've enjoyed it so much and, yet, it's so brilliant, with so many different layers. It's really interesting. I've loved this one, so much. Some melodies here are truly enchanting and lovely. What a delight!

When I started listening to this album I didn't know what to expect and, honestly, I thought I wouldn't like it that much. But, as I got in the mood and the songs went on... Well, I mean, wow! I've loved listening to this album.

This album is really good. I enjoyed it a lot, and it has many great songs with many different sounds. Everything works here perfectly. I don't know what else to say about an album I liked that much, I can't find any flaws.

This album is very (very!) insipid and uninteresting for me. I've said the same thing about the other hip-hop albums that I've had to listen to, but this opinion doesn't change as I go through more of them. Then, I guess it's that this genre doesn't interest me in the least, but, again, I will always be open-minded when listening to those albums. Yet it always comes to confirm me that this genre sounds very bland to me. This album is very long for songs that sound exactly the same. The sampling in this one is well done, sounds fluid and nicely combined with the other elements of the songs but... I just don't get the hype with this genre, it is interesting in theory but very boring for me when I start to listen to it.

This album is truly something special, there is something enchanting in the way the songs sound and evolve. I've liked it a lot, it's very sweet and delicate but also very interesting and with many variations. There is nothing bad I can say about it. This one is really good!
