This album is... boring but with some interesting tracks. It has a kind of bland rock I don't end up liking, and the electronic incursions are not that well delivered at times. However, it has some songs that are not that bad, though, but most of it is uninteresting. This album is just not really of my liking.

I found myself liking this album, more than what I thought in the beginning. It grows and, even though there are some songs that are not that good, it is such a nice listening, and really enjoyable too.

This album is good. It's length is the worst part because there's a time in which it loses interest and becomes the same thing over and over. I'm not saying it's a long album, this one is not, but it has many songs that sound the same. But it's a nice album. I enjoyed a lot the begging. And I thought I would have liked it more, but it becomes the same thing, more or less, when you've listened to half of it. So, it's good (and enjoyable) but not a highlight for me.

Abbey RoadThe Beatles

Rated 10/10

What to say about a masterpiece?... That this album is perfect! Everything on it works perfectly, so well linked and with so many flavors. It's one of the greatest albums ever made. That's it. And no one can make me think differently. It's perfect.

Really? Is it supposed to be one album I should listen before I die? With this list I have listened to many hip-hop albums and, honestly, it's driving me to boredom. I will try every and each album, and listen to the whole thing. But, as I've said many times, I don't like hip-hop. It's tiring, and I don't care if you're a genius combining samples with whatever you want, it doesn't work for me. Listening to this album is like listening to the same song, all the time, over and over. And there's nothing interesting. Do you need to say "fuck" all over the same song just to make you feel "rebel", "young", "tough" or whatever you want to be? Because it feels like a joke. This album is boring. But also irritating. I will repeat myself with a previous review, but it feels like a waste of time. I understand the point is to listen to different genres, but I've listened many mid albums that I'm sure are not on this list that are far better than this one. But, again, I don't like hip-hop, so, to begin with, I wouldn't have liked this album. And that's what has happened.

Rated 10/10

This album is strange... But terribly delicate, wild, beautiful and enchanting. It is such a journey, and it has so many layers that needs of more than one listen to get to perceive all of its interest. I will listen to it more, and it's going to grow on me. But, my first thoughts about it are that it is something great, so experimental. I loved some songs. I guess I will end up liking more the others. But, overall, I've enjoyed a lot this album. Listening to it has taken me to many places, to many thoughts, to many emotions. This album is really good. I liked it a lot.

Rated 6/10

This album is... nice. I didn't expect to like it, but I did. It's not bad at all, even though it is not something I would highlight. Some songs are fine. The overall doesn't work for me, it has some songs that feel repetitive and unnecessary. Most songs have a vibe I don't end up liking. But it's not bad.

I wouldn't have ever thought I would enjoy that much Elvis Presley. I loved the first album I was assigned and, now, this one has been excellent. It is funny, varied and really entertaining.

This album is really good, it's a very nice listening. It's not great, but pleasant and entertaining. The music is well done and it has some different sounds that make the album flow and not feel repetitive or plain. It was nice, I liked it.

The BandThe Band

Rated 10/10

This album is really good, I've liked it a lot. It's so enjoyable and the songs are great. I don't think there's much to say. It's great.

It's not bad, but there's not much variety here, and some songs feel longer than what they really are. It may be because of the vocals, which sometimes get too tiring. Or because of some songs sounding quite the same. Anyway, it hasn't been really of my like. It's not bad, it's not good. That's all.

While listening to this album I was thinking that I could have listened to this in a clothes shop. It is repetitive, plain and with basic beats, too safe that it can't be good. Some songs have nice instrumentations, but the overall is far from working well. Badu's voice feels tired and uninterested, and sometimes is very strident and tiresome.

This album is delightfully beautiful, at many times oneiric, with quite interesting instrumentals. However, some songs weren't really of my like, feeling more like pop songs with not much interest. Overall, this is a good album, pretty solid, but not a 10, nor a 9. I'll give it an 8. And still I've liked it a lot, but there are things that are not that nice. It could have been much better.

MurmurR.E.M.

Rated 2/10

Listening to this album is like listening to nothing... It's a murmur that mumbles instead of whispering something. It's bland and repetitive and, still, there's nothing. Nothing. I think I liked more the last album of R.E.M. I was assigned, and it wasn't of my like at all. But still it had something interesting, if I may say interesting for a R.E.M. album.

It is not bad, some songs were fine but it's just the same thing over and over and, honestly, there is not much interesting stuff on there, just a bunch of mainstream songs that are bland and feel uninspired. Overall, it's Robbie Williams, he's not a genius, nor someone interesting at all.

This album is really uninteresting. All songs are insipid. They are not bad, just correct, but that's not something that would make them good. Instead, it makes them commercially successful, which is not something bad but that shows a lack of interest in making something more genuine. However, this album is so bland that I didn't enjoy it in the least.

This album is a masterpiece. There's not much to say about something that is near to be perfect. It sounds great, and the instrumentations are fantastic. That's what it is, magnificent. So delicate and energetic, and interesting and inspired. Great.
