Rated 6/10

This was very....strange. I was expecting something like Joy Division or The cure (things that I like), but it was more...darker and strange. I liked it, but not too much.

Rated 3/10

Definitively, country is not my style....I like very few songs from this style, so this album was very boring to me. I'll dive it 2 stars for one or two songs that were comfortable for listen.

Rated 3/10

It's a very good instrumental album (or almost instrumental), but nothing very special to me.

I know just the most famous songs from Rolling Stones and this album is surprisingly awesome for me. All blues and rock were amazing here. Included in my favorites

This is very different from everything else that I already listened to from David Bowie. I prefer his more recent work, but it's very interesting to listen to this album.

I always think about Bruce Springsteen like something like bad country songs (don't know why), but this album is very different from my expectations and it is a very good piece of good songs.

I know many of Slayer's songs from my teenage years and I like them and listen to them today made me realize how much they influenced the metal scene forever. Their songs from this album are a little bit repetitive, but it's cool.

This album was an amazing suggestion from this project. I absolutely loved almost every song, even not knowing anything about the band before.

This was a very surprising album. The art cover is awesome and the album itself was an amazing experience. For sure, I'll search other Donavan's albums to discover a little bit more about these songs. The Wikipedia article is also a good waste of time.

I absolutely didn't know anything about this band and this album was a very good surprise. It's not absolutely different from standard indie rock from the last decade, but it's a very good example of this type of song. :-)

Rated 6/10

This album is very common and easy to listen to. I know that it should be considered a great rock album for 83, but nowadays, the age came and it just an ok album.

Rated 8/10

I'm not a fan of more recent Radiohead works, but this album has some type of rawness that really touches me. A great piece of art.

It's a surprising album with some very interesting songs but at the same time, some songs are very boring.
I liked to listen to it, but it's not very probable that it will happen again, even with those good songs at the first part of the album. The art cover is very beautiful.

Rated 10/10

This is an absolute classic. I noticed that I didn't listen to it for some time, but it is still one of my favorite albums of all time.

Rated 8/10

All songs from this album are classical. A great album with only one notable drawback: it sounds a little bit dated, probably because it is a reference album for almost every rock band nowadays. However, worth every song!

Initially, I didn't like it too much, thinking about why these ambient songs were here in this list. However, I finished it with the opposite opinion. It is a very good album with some very good instrumental songs. It is surprisingly modern for a 1962 album.
