It's a really good album, but not impressive enough to make me love it. It's not a 10 for me, but truly a 9. It's a very pleasant experience, with great instrumentations, Miles Davis is a great performer, and this album is the reflection of the work of talented people. I need more listens to really love it, but surly it's a great one. After all, it's Miles Davis, the album can't be anything but great.

Beautiful Freakeels

Rated 8/10

This one is a really surprising album. I've enjoyed it so much, and, as the songs go on, it keeps getting better. I didn't know what to expect, I thought it wasn't going to be much of my like, but it has been such a pleasant listening.

I don't know how to call this album, but most of the songs sound the same (if not every single one of them). If it had more personality of its own I would have liked it more, but that folk-county based on long, boring and repetitive songs is not something I'm into. What I liked the most are some instrumentals, which are delicious. I understand it's more of a lyrical album, but if the songs are bland, I just can't focus on anything else than... when is "I Dream a Highway" going to end? Really, its length is unjustified, it's the same melody on repeat for over a quarter of hour.

This album is... horrible. I don't know how I've listened this entire collection of stupid, repetitive and boring stuff. I hate hip-hop, and that's the perfect example of why. There are nice hip-hop songs, but most of them are the same garbage, and that album is even worse... Almost an hour of... this!!?? Really? I feel like I've lost my time today.

When the album started I thought it was nice but, as the songs went on, I started to lose interest on it. It's 90's alt rock... If you like it, good for you, but something that sounds like an Oasis album with some electronic sounds and bland intros (so you call it psychedelic – if the endlessly repetitive, ambient and uninteresting Pete International Airport is not an example of this but extrapolated to a whole "song") and repetitive lyrics is just not for me. Some songs weren't bad, but I wouldn't listen to the whole album again just to listen to them (in case I would want to listen to them again, which is not my intention for now). At least the last song, The Creep Out, is a nice ending with a better psychedelic attempt (if the album had more of it instead of... nearly all the rest).

Rated 6/10

I liked it, but I didn't love it. This album is a good one, it's interesting in many aspects, but lacks of more development, at least for my like. I really appreciate the influence it had on the metal genre (and specially some of its subgenres), and I'm glad that albums like this one are part of that musical journey. When I finished listening to it I wondered how fast the time passed. It has been such a pleasant listening.

I have tried this album, I have tried Coldplay –and this one is not the first album I have listened to of them–, but they are just not for me. This album is bland and repetitive. Almost the entire album feels like a whole song on repeat, on and on (and on). Maybe it is because of how simple the structure of the songs is, but also plain and... sincerely, this is Coldplay, sometimes prejudices are not far from reality. I knew it wasn't for me and, after listening to it, I can conclude I wasn't wrong. This album is just not good.

This album is a great and versatile pop record, crowned by Christina's powerful voice, which is always such a pleasure to listen to. It has a lot of textures and different genres, all combined with great taste in a very cohesive record.

After the very sad news yesterday of the death of Ozzy, there was no other possible album to listen to today than this first Black Sabbath album, a testament and begging not only of a band but of a whole musical genre. The gothic atmospheres, fantastic solos, and the recognizable voice of Ozzy, which matches perfectly the sound of the album, make of this first heavy metal album an all time masterpiece that shows the greatness of a band like Black Sabbath. And, wherever Ozzy is, long life the Prince of Darkness, because a legacy like his never dies.

It's such an impressively great album. It has a very interesting combination of sounds, even though the album has a main blues rock sound. Faithfull's voice matches so good the songs, giving them a very original touch.

Magnificent as Queen can be, this album is a must, so diverse and grandiose, in a very good sense, in its best sense.

It's a very warm and melodic album, which is sometimes nice, but it's nothing really special. It's just a nice collection of songs, but there is nothing in the album that really stands out.

The first thing about this album is that it's... AWESOME! Of course, they are the Rolling Stones, but this Exile On Main Street is a great example of how good they can be, in every song. Even being over more than an hour long, this album feels short, being a timeless masterpiece.

It's a good album, nothing impressive with the exception of some tracks. I wouldn't say it's as good as many people say it is, but it's definitely an enjoyable and, many times, interesting album.

This album is full of theatricality, which makes of it something great and a very diverse album. It is such an enjoyable album that catches you from start to begging. I have to admit it has impressed me.

AmnesiacRadiohead

Rated 2/10

This album feels like a collection of unfinished songs under the tag of "experimental". I only enjoyed one song, the rest are all a mixture between jazz, indie rock and electronic music that does not sound good at all. If experimental means for Radiohead to enlarge the songs until boredom, it's exactly what the album is, an uninteresting, bland and uninspired intention of making something that ends up sounding rough and repetitive. A very good example of this is Pulk/Pull Revolving Doors.

What a fantastic album by one of the greatest! This album feels like a fresh "morning breeze" that is such a pleasant listening. I have to admit I had never listened to this album before, even though I knew of it, so it has been a great experience to finally listen to it. I was so surprised of how much bass sounds in this album.

Disraeli GearsCream

Rated 8/10

This album is great, psychedelic and very bluesy. It's a very enjoyable listening, which feels short once the album has ended. However, it's not as fantastic as it is claimed to be. It's great, but not excellent. Sure it can get much better. But it's great to discover albums like this one, which I should have known about much time before.

DirtySonic Youth

Rated 6/10

I don't really know what to think about this album. On the one hand, I liked some parts of it, but others felt uninteresting for me. It's not a bad album, but it lacks of something to really catch me.
