This album is really great, such an energetic record with some social commentary. I love this Sex Pistols album. And, even though it is not much pushing or innovative in musical terms, it really works pretty well. The sounds of this album have a very nice touch that give this album the impulse it seeks, the force and sentiment it tries to transmit. And it surely is a very enjoyable record, even if you are not very into punk music, the songs are very well delivered and very catchy too. So, it's a great album, maybe not among my all time favourites, or among the albums I consider masterpieces, but surely this one's an album I can listen to over and over and still feel it fresh in each listening.

What a wonderful record, so warm and so enjoyable. It's a great jazz album, and such a pleasure to listen to. This Jazz Samba really is a beautiful and lovely record, with some delicate songs, but played with such talent and fragility that it is some ear candy. Completely an album that is magnificent from start to end.

This album is great, such a classic, but still one that is such an enjoyable one. Led Zeppelin really have a nice touch at mixing hard rock with some psychedelic sounds, and their music really combines wonderful elements in such a magnificent way. They are a pleasure to the ears. And this album is a symbol of that. Not my favourite Led Zeppelin album, but surely one that is a highlight and a must to listen to at least once in your life. It's got also some fantastic songs. Wonderful, that's the word for this Led Zeppelin III.

Adele truly is a very talented artist with such a powerful voice, and it works very well with the music she makes, but I'm afraid it tends to be bland and very classy in a predictable way, which makes it at times a bit uninteresting or even boring. And, the thing is, many artists with great voices nowadays tend to search for those kinds of popish soul and rhythm and blues that are so insipid. The issue here is this album does not go beyond but just sticks to the canon, and, to be honest, it's not even outstanding at that. So, there are some nice songs, a great voice, talent too, but it lacks of some more personality. I'm not implying there is not, but it feels not yet developed.

This album is actually very enjoyable, so fun. And there are also some interesting moments. The mixture between soft rock and a popish side really works very well with Pulp, even if some songs can feel a bit bland or insipid. But, overall, this album is really great, with some really nice songs and, sure, a very enjoyable record to listen to.

With a very punky structure, this album is actually a mixture of popish sounds with some new wave and a little bit of britpop, although it is nearer the post punk side rather than the britpop one. But those different influences converge surprisingly well in this record. It feels very carefree and vivid while keeping very beautiful melodies and a very sweet voice over punky guitars and drums, creating a very joyful sound. This album really is a great and very enjoyable one, while also sounding pretty fresh. And a very funny one to listen to too!

This album is very bland at times, but has some nice arrangements, which make the instrumentals sometimes rich and beautiful, at least at some moments. So, it is an album I will probably never return to listen to, but, surely, it has been a pleasant experience, a delicate and very well produced one. Nonetheless, the music is more of average indie pop, with nice touches and some lovely sounds, but not much impressive or groundbreaking. It's nice, not something wonderful, but a pretty decent record.

This album is such a long and monotonous one. There are a few songs that sound slightly different, but, overall, it is a record that sounds all the time more or less the same. There is just bland music that has not much interest to it. It just sounds very 80's, in a very dated way, and in a bad sense too. Well, it has been, at least, listenable even though not much enjoyable, to be honest.

This live is absolutely gorgeous, so energetic and vivid, yet so great at sounding and with so much joy and fantastic instrumental moments in it. I've loved listening to this album. It has been such an amazing musical experience. There is so much talent in here, as well as a fantastic set of songs, which makes this album flow so well. It's just great.

Not bad... but this album is very very generic. And, surely, much music from the time when it was released is more interesting than what this album can offer. It's funny, an enjoyable record, at least at times, but it's not memorable in any sense. It hasn't aged very well, to be honest. It's a nice album, not very interesting, with some rock sounds, short songs, very direct and simple. And it feels very bland after some songs go on too. So, I wouldn't say that it's good either.

This album has some really nice arrangements, and is truly a very pleasant album to listen to. I've liked it much more than what I thought, and it has surely been a surprise in many senses. It has many different layers and sounds, and a very beautiful atmosphere too. So, even though it's still not the kind of music I would go for, I'm surprised to have liked it that much.

This album is really nice, with some great songs too. And it surely proves, if there is some doubt yet, that Bob Dylan is a great songwriter. The only flow I can find is that there are some songs that are not that great, and, at some point, make this album feel dense and bland in the sense it feels repetitive. Not because there is no intention or interest in here, but because all the songs feel like a warm acoustic set in which Dylan sings and plays the harmonica. Nothing wrong about it, but, at some point, instrumentally talking, it is not much interesting. So, I guess that, for my taste, this album would have benefited from being shorter. Nevertheless, it has a really great composition and lyrical content, so, it has been a pleasure to listen to this record.

This album has a clear direction, a cohesive atmosphere, and, at that, it is really great, with some interesting influences. But it is a bit chaotic when it comes to sounds. It feels like a mixture of different sounds that, at some point, feel even conflicting. And there are also some tracks that are a bit too pretentious to be good. So, I feel this album has a nice direction, mainly between being horrific and comical at the same time, and the atmosphere catches that so well, but there is not much there, and the continuous addition of sounds lacks of cohesiveness and some kind of justification. I can see what people see in this album, but I feel it needs some intention, a better development.

This album has been much reggae for my like, but it has been such an enjoyable experience, nevertheless. I've loved the political side of it, as well as some really nice moments that are very interesting. It's an album in which silence is also present, something I've loved finding. UB40 really know how to play with different sounds and dynamics in their music, which is not monotonous at all. I've not found it much thrilling, but surely it has been an album to enjoy listening to.

This album is really great, with such fantastic tracks. Really a very enjoyable record. It's pretty generic, but the songs in here work really well, and truly is a very funny and lovely album. So, even though there could be something else, everything in here really does its job, and with such fantastic results. So, at the end, I couldn't ask for more. It's great the way it is!

What a gorgeous record. This album is so warm and combines so brilliantly different sounds and elements that really is outstanding. It is very varied and yet cohesive, so wonderfully sung and performed. I've loved it so so much. Nina Simone really is a fantastic singer, and this album is such a sweet and lovely record to listen to.

Beck again... making an album that becomes such a bland collection of songs that, at some point, becomes pretty uninteresting. I've liked some ideas in here, but the delivery is not impressive at all, and, even though there are some beautiful moments, those are so ethereal that, in the overall of the album, become completely insignificant and forgettable. So, I've liked certain parts, but it's an album that is very superfluous.

When kitsch meets a good production, sometimes good things happen, but most of the times the result is horrible. And this album is, actually, pretty interesting, although not much impressive nor enjoyable. Further, I would say it's not enjoyable at all. But there is something that really works. There are some nice tracks, and it's disgustingly enchanting. In a sense, it is as repulsive as strangely fascinating. Some songs are very annoying, but the thing is, others are so bad that are actually good? I guess it makes no sense, but this album does not make sense at all, and is very tacky, but M.I.A. finds at times a bright side in all of this. So, at the end of the day, even though I'm horrified, I couldn't say it's bad.

This album is extraordinarily good, so enjoyable and with such great guitar moments. I've loved listening to it, it's such an immersive record, so full of great melodies. I wouldn't say it's my favourite Deep Purple record, nor a perfect album (yet close to), but sure it's such a great time, and very interesting at some points too.

This album is really surprising, and completely unexpected. Sure. I didn't know what may I find in here, and it's a weird mixture of sounds and genres. But, at some point, I think I've understood it. There are actual good songs in here, and some nice experimentation. But there is also so much... weirdness going on that does not make me feel anything. So, I don't know how to feel about it. It's not a bad album, but maybe just one listen is enough. I don't know... Did I like it? I'm not sure. I'm not sure with anything about this album: I've liked it as much as I've disliked it, if that makes any sense.
