I'm surprised with this album.

I was expecting just some generic electronic samples and basic hip-hop, but I found a very deep album with some really good songs.

It's impressive how these songs are recognizable in modern rap/hip-hop songs.

SmashThe Offspring

Rated 8/10

I believe that all these albums that remember me of my teenage years turn on some nostalgic critical sense that gives me much less independence.

I know that I don't have any idea if these songs are really good, but they were good for younger me and when I listen to them, I respect that opinion.

LowDavid Bowie

Rated 6/10

It's very interesting to know a little bit more of this so famous "Berlin phase" of Bowie.

Actually, I didn't enjoy it too much, however, it's impossible not to note how it influenced modern songs after it.

The first song rocks, but the rest of the album is just normal.

The last song looks like something that could be happened here, but then the album ends.

I was expecting much more from this album. For any special reason, the cover and the Wikipedia background gave me some hope of a 70`s classical.

Well, it`s not bad, but it`s not anything special too. Good album.

NevermindNirvana

Rated 10/10

Maybe, I'm just remembering the first time when I listened to these songs, but I can't give to it less than 5 stars!

I'm don't have much to say about this album. It's fun, but this "romantic funky" R&B is not exactly a style that I love.

The Wikipedia page about the album is worth it because the album's background is pretty more interesting than the album itself.

Review this album its a very hard task, since it`s not so revolutionary, but it's still classical.

It is too much noise, but not absolutely experimental.

I don't know, but this album is an interesting experience, even when I'm not capable of any type of a real analyze.

He does not deserve even the 0.000001 cents that I gave to him when I listened to this album on Deezer.

However, despite all the "personality" thing, this is a very nice album with some reminiscence of "The smiths" that made a good rock album.

I got the importance of this album for the music industry and, reading the Wikipedia, I also understood the importance of it in Stones' history.

Even noting these things, I didn't enjoy too much this album. I like this "blues" side of the band, but a whole album of blues is not what I was expecting from Rolling Stones.

For me, it was a very good opportunity to discover some new songs of this great band, even without like the whole album.

The first songs are very enjoyable.
The middle of the album is a little bit repetitive, but nothing too much different from any other Britpop.
Finally, the end of the album has a feeling of something more experimental, but still pop. It's not too strange/experimental, but it's not pure Britpop anymore.

The album deserves perfect 3 stars.

I believe that I never will get the hype on Wilco, however, I should give some respect to them (with "Billy Bragg") for this album.

I believe that any recovery from classical compositions deserves some respect, even in cases like this album where the result is a little bit repetitive.

The Wikipedia page helps to understand who was Woody Guthrie and now I need to know all the other projects from "Mermaid Avenue".

Great project, good album

VividLiving Colour

Rated 6/10

I started this album after reading the Wikipedia page on "Living Colour", so I was with very high expectations.

After listening to it, I'm a little bit disappointed, because the mixture of all these music styles could be a great album, but it's just "casual and chills". Maybe I'm biased because I'm sure that this album influenced a lot of bands that I like and so I see just the same song style every day, but how knows. It's a nice album and just it.

I already knew "White rabbit", but not so much more of the band.

I liked it VERY much. I don't have much to say, but it's for sure one of the best psychedelic rock that I've heard until now.

This was a very nice Christmas gift to listen to. Discover the life history of Phil Spector was a nice bonus (I never heard about him before), but the songs themselves were a great payoff.

I hope to keep this project alive in my 2022 to-do list and these songs were a breath to get the greatest albums from the project and also to "enjoy" the worst ones which I'll never understand why they are here.

Christmas songs always give me some type of hope and this album was a great piece of Christmas songs

I believe that it's the kind of music from the 2000s that was made to win prizes and not to be enjoyable.

"Indie rock" used in its worst connotation.

My GenerationThe Who

Rated 10/10

I started this album with 4 stars in my mind. "My generation" deserves 5 stars for its existence and the rest of the album looks like an excellent classic rock album.

I finished it with the certainty that the whole album deserves 5 stars. This is not only classical, but it's also raw and it preserves its force even after some decades. Listening to this album as a whole is a real experience to understand the mindset of the 60/70's in a way that just a few cultural products are able to do.
