I've listened to 5 or 6 hip-hop albums in this project. This is the one I enjoyed the most. It's definitely 3 stars at least (and pretty close to 4 stars).

Very good album with a very interesting sound. Some great songs: A forest (of course), M (probably the most "accessible" one), Seventeen Seconds...

I enjoyed this one very much. One of the greatest surprises in this project so far. Solid 4 stars. Direct, distinctive, and inspired songs. I also enjoyed the lyrics. Some songs I particularly enjoyed: Goin' back, Draft Morning, Change is now, Old John Robertson, or Tribal Gathering.

Rated 10/10

Very good. Exceeded my expectationd (and those were already pretty high). Chrissie Hynde is great. And so is the rhythm section. Lyrics were also ok. Really enjoyed this one.

This is a classic. Very good album. Among the greatest. Favourite tracks: "Wish You Were Here" (an absolute classic) and " Shine On Your Crazy Diamond (both parts, but especially Parts I-V)" and "Welcome To The Machine".

Good album. It is between 3 and 4 stars for me.

Some songs I enjoyed: "Pretty Green", "Start!"(Taxman-inspired), "Set The House Ablaze" (noce lyrics), " That's enterteinment" (probably my favourite), or "Man In The Corner Shop".

Overall, a very solid 3 star album (but pretty close to 4 stars).

Ok. This is not for the casual listener...or for the casual listening. You need to be in the right mood. But, if you are, this turned out to be really great. Suzanne, Sisters of Mercy. Really good songs. At least 4 stars even if it didn't catch me in the first listen.

I know this is a classic. I didn't feel like the first tracks are that special but then it got really better. Very good. Pump it up is a really cool song.

Rated 8/10

Good album. I haven't been able to listen to it with the attention it deserves, but I enjoyed it. I enjoyed songs like Shadowboxer, Sleep to Dream or, especially, Criminal.

I wanted this to be 5 stars...but it is not. It's more between 3 and 4, but I must award 4 stars because I found two songs to be really great. As for the rest, they are indeed good songs, but I just find they are not very innovative. I guess that's part of the whole concept, but I felt the music lacked personality or uniqueness. In any case, a good album with no bad songs.

I'm not a huge Eagles fan, but this album is really good. I had not listened to it for a number of years, but I really enjoyed it. It's definitely in the 4-5 star range.

This is, for better or worse, just fine. Nothing really special, but nice to listen to. So, it's kind of average for me. It may grow if I kept listening, but I don't think I'll find the time.

Great album. Interesting how each song has its own identity. From blues rock, to folk, hard rock,... A classic album by one of the most influential bands in rock history.

I guess this is probably ok for a dance club, but I didn't enjoy it that much. Not my favourite kind of music. Too long and pretty repetitive. "Praise you" is the track I enjoyed the most.

Ok, let's face it: this guy is an asshole, but he has talent. I found this album very inspired and interesting. I guess it helps that I'm not a native speaker, so I don't understand some of the sexist stuff (I don't really care about other aspects like drugs or cursing). Some tracks I enjoyed: "Black Skinhead", "New Slaves", "Hold my liquor", "Blood on the leaves", or "Bound 2".

I don't know much about oldies and I do not usually listen to this kind of music. But it is obvious that this is good, and I enjoyed it a lot. No doubt The Beatles listened to all this stuff in their early years.

Good album. The tracks I enjoyed the most: "I see you", "What's happening?", and "Eight miles high". This is probably between 3 and 4 stars for me. The guitar sound by Roger McGuinn is really good. After listening to the "The Notorious Byrd Brothers", I'm enjoying more The Byrds. So, I've come back to this and this is now getting a solid 4 stars rating.
