The first song was promising. Then the rest is just the basic electronic that is apparently mandatory on the 1001 list at least once per week.

His voice is good, but it's just another country album among all the others around the list. No novelty.

I think this was the best from Bob Marley that I got from the list. It's a bit repetitive, but it's a must.

I always associate The Mars Volta with the standard emocore movement from the 2000s (I like it), but when I listened to this album, I saw that they are in a high opposite direction. Of course, they have something from emo, but they are much more complex than that.

Maybe I didn't understand it completely yet, but this last song caught me in a way that maybe I finally started to get it.

I know that Justin did much better in the following years. This one is just the most generic pop from the 2000s. Easy 1-star

I must admit I listened to this one without paying too much attention. It's Marvin Gaye, potentially good and transformative for its time.

I'll listen to it again later just to be sure, but I'll give it a 4-star rating just based on my confidence, even knowing I didn't even note when it finished in my listening session.

Talking about post-modern electronic music, I'll probably go with Bjork, but this one is not unlistenable.

It started well, but for some reason that I didn't identify, it finishes just like any generic rock album that will stay in my memory for some hours and then go away forever.

I'm too lazy to listen to Talking Heads...they are so 80s that it tired me somehow. However, this specific album was a happy surprise. I don't know if the pressure on the 80s radio made their singles sound so different from the entire album, but the songs I found inside "Remain In Light" do not sound like what I expected from Talking Heads. They are much more powerful and less generic synth-pop.

It's still 80s songs, but at least it's much more enjoyable.

High-level start that just goes down and down to a mediocre standard 2000s hip-hop. It's far from unlistenable, but it does not stand too much time with me.

After so much insistence, it deserves 2 stars for some songs here and there, but essentially, it's just another electronic/synth-pop, whatever.

I understand that Phil Spector was a important guy on the music industry, but the (way better) Christmas album was good, I didn't need to listen to this one too. I'll check if Dion has any other of his albums on the list, because this is just anoying.

This is very far from what I expected from John Cale after listening to Velvet Underground, but I liked it. It's not so remarkable, but it's good.

This is release is far from the best we can found from Astrud Gilberto. I'll rate it with 5 in respect to her whole career.

It's so nice to listen to these pop-punk origins. I liked it very much

It's a bit repetitive, but it's pretty cool to know this new stuff on the list.

This is a strange album for me since, on one side, it should be perfect for me. It's precisely the type of thing that I usually enjoy. On the other hand, it was okay during my listening session for some reason that cannot be explained. Just ok

I really enjoyed this one. It was amazing to know this new band.

I never know what to expect from a KISS album, but they always deliver what I need and nothing more than expected.
