Rated 8/10

This album is really surprising. I loved how subtle yet beautiful and wonderful it feels. This album is so well done, with so much softness and care. It is, definitely, such a pleasant and interesting listening. Some songs, however, feel less powerful as they don't contribute sonically much to the album, feeling a bit bland. But the overall is splendid. So, even if I don't care about some songs, I can't deny this album is actually good.

Another hip-hop album... What can I say? That it feels bland, uninteresting, insipid and repetitive to me? Of course, it's like listening to the same thing over and over just to end up where it all began. Nothing. This album gets me to nothing. So, did I like this? Of course not! But I knew it even before clicking play. I understand it's a musical genre that doesn't interest me the less, but I've listened to many hip-hop albums with this list and, still, I haven't found good at least any of them.

This album is actually really good. It's not something impressive, some songs were not much of my like, but, as there is so much variety there, there are songs that are great. I would say that more than twenty songs should be justified but, to be honest, I don't even care with this album. It's almost an hour and a half and, still, it felt like less time. And that's not that easy with albums of that length. So, I liked it, of course!

PearlJanis Joplin

Rated 10/10

This album is... Well, it's Janis Joplin, what can go wrong? It's great! What else can be said? This album is fantastic, from beginning to end.

This album is actually good. Just not impressive enough to make me say it's something to highlight. The songs are good. What really doesn't work is the overall result. It feels repetitive at some point and becomes more boring than anything else, even if the songs aren't bad. It's just too much. This album being shorter or more inspired would have helped to make me like it more.

RumoursFleetwood Mac

Rated 10/10

Of course this album is great. I mean, it's Rumours by Fleetwood Mac. It's not the best album ever, but it is really close to it. It is great from start to end, and it is a really strong record. So, of course, it much deserves to be here and to have five stars.

I am really pleased and surprised I liked this album. It is such a good record, coherent and very well developed. The songs are fantastic. It is, more or less, the kind of american folk music I really like. It's really good, for sure.

I couldn't care less about it. I understand the intention of the album, the interest on making some of its songs, but I just don't like this kind of music. So, I value the artistic intention of this album, but it's not done in a way I can value or like. I would give it two stars because of the jazz incursions and some experimentation but... am I really liking the way it's done? Not because you have something in mind or you want to do something deep means you end up doing it. I'm not saying it isn't any of those things, but, for me, a person who doesn't like hip-hop at all, this album is just as the rest. It may have something I like a little but, overall, it's an album of a kind of music I don't like. And it really is not interesting for me, anyway. Do it the right way and, then, talk to me. But not with this album.

This album is really good. It really feels like a space trip, sometimes with the Beatles. But the music is so funny and enjoyable, and interesting too. It is such a great listening. So great, yeah.

Le TigreLe Tigre

Rated 4/10

I haven't liked that album much. It had different sounds, but many times they didn't work that well. It has a nice sound, even though it's not what I like at all. But some songs were good. It's just not what I actually would want to listen to.

This album is so good! All the songs are great. It is really enjoyable, I liked it so much. This is the kind of album I can listen and not get bored of. Great!

21Adele

Rated 8/10

I think I would like Adele if I listened more of her but, what concers that album, it is good, yet not that great for me to love it. Some songs are really good, but others don't have much power on the overall of the project. But I liked it, it's a really pleasant album to listen to, bland and uninteresting sometimes, but being most of it good and nicely done.

Ok, this album was... Ok. I was in with the first two songs, if they were the only songs on the album. What happens to me with this kind of music is that I get bored too soon. It is like listening to the same thing over and over. One song is nice. I wouldn't say it's great, but I can listen to it. But not more than this, please. So, yeah, I don't find this album interesting in any aspect. It keeps on getting boring and boring, more and more.

This album is really good. I liked it a lot. It is so much fun to listen to and also a short but really enjoyable experience. It's not something I would highlight but a really well done record, for sure.

Rated 4/10

At first I thought I would like it, at least a little but... well. There are a pair of good songs, but the album loses its interest really quickly. I went from "well!" (in a good sense) to "meh..." so fast. And, I think it's the thing with this album. Most songs are just the same thing all the time. They feel repetitive, as if there wasn't any kind of differentiation between them. And, so, it ends up being really boring (not to talk about how plain some songs are).

I've really enjoyed this album. It is so good! And it has great songs on it. There's not much to say, it's a funny and very much enjoyable album, which is also great. Not all albums need to be very deep, varied or intense to be great. Sometimes albums like this one are such a great listening. And that's fine too.

Nice attempt to make something between beautiful and interesting. But it's not that interesting though. I liked it, but the songs tend to feel long, losing their charm at the end. I would say it's more of Americana, country-folk than country itself, but it combines nicely different sounds, yet sometimes this album becomes monotonous. It's a different take into country (or folk, I would say), which makes it interesting at parts. It's just not that memorable to make me love it.

DirtAlice in Chains

Rated 10/10

When I first saw it was grunge I thought I wouldn't like it but... Wow, I'm really surprised it didn't happen at all. I've loved this album. This is so good! It has a great combination between hard rock and grunge that it doesn't make it feel repetitive or tiring. Instead, it is so fresh and a very enjoyable listening experience. Also, the guitars and the vocals are a highlight for me. But the overall is great, so I've really liked everything there.

This album is nice. It's not mind-blowing in any sense, but it has good tracks. I don't think there's much interesting in there, it's enjoyable. And that's fine. There has to be also music just for the sake of having a good time. But I wouldn't say it's anything great.

This album is nice. Musically talking, it is more or less the same than other musical projects of the same style. I wouldn't say it is innovative in any aspect, which is not bad at all, but, then, it has to impress me much to really appreciate it. So, it is not much interesting in the musical aspect, but it has some good songs though. I guess I liked it, but just that.
