I was already familiar with the band name Pavement. I must have heard it on a compilation album or in a stream. I liked the music back then. I find this album rather unremarkable and a bit boring. The sound was very thin, as if someone had forgotten to turn on the amplifiers. 3/5

Phew, that was exhausting. At times, I thought I wouldn't make it through. Maybe I should check out Hawkwind a little more. But this album was way too long, and even as a live recording—which I don't particularly like anyway—it sounded pretty flat. I'd have to become a huge fan to listen to this again. 3/5

I was expecting something really annoying from the "World" genre. But listening to this album was actually quite enjoyable. It's too mellow for me to listen to it very often. But it was pretty nice (and I'm a big fan of "nice"). 3/5

So here’s the band’s second album as part of this project. I listened to the previous one in May of this year—about seven months ago. Apparently, it was so boring that I couldn’t even remember the band’s name. This album fits right in with that. It’s boring to the point of being annoying. I won’t be listening to this again. 3/5

"Ace of Spades" is always great. The rest of the album doesn't offer much else, but it's still fun. At least I learned a few interesting things while listening to the album—for example, about the life of Wild Bill Hickock, his era, and the "Dead Man's Hand." I probably won't be listening to the album again anytime soon, though. 3/5

I liked the title of the album. The name of the band Faces seemed familiar to me. At first I found the presented blues rock passable, but not remarkable. Then I recognized Rod Stuart's voice and I remembered how I knew the name of the band. After that, the album rather annoyed me. Overall, I would say passable blues rock if Rod Stuart didn't sing. Moreover, uninteresting. 3/5

I didn't know the album or the band. The music was not bad at all. Still, I don't feel like dealing with it more. 3/5

Suzanne Vega was very popular, especially with the girls in my clique. I also liked some pieces at the time. Maybe it's because of my today's form of the day, towards the end of the album Suzanne's tricks with her voice got on my nerves. It was nice to hear ‚Marlene on the Wall‘ again after a long time. ‚The Queen and the Soldier’ surprised me positively. Maybe I should listen to Suzanne Vage's music again. 4/5

"More than a Feeling" was on the playlist at the parties I went to in my early teens. I always enjoyed hearing it there, and that’s what got me interested in the band—and especially in this album. I borrowed the record from a friend and listened to it at my leisure. I was disappointed back then—I really only liked “More Than a Feeling.” So I was curious to see how I’d like the album now. Not much has changed. “More Than a Feeling” is still great. Only “Foreplay/Long Time” surprised me and was a lot of fun. The rest isn't really that interesting. 3/5

Good grief—even though there wasn't the piercing singing of a castrato to be heard, this album still falls into the "unbearable" category. 1/5

An impressive story about the making of the album. When it came out, I was still a little too young and sheltered to even notice it. David Bowie didn’t really come into my consciousness until I saw the movie *Christiane F.*. I knew a few songs by Iggy Pop, but I didn’t connect them to him. It took many years before I truly learned to appreciate Iggy. And so I really like this album of his, too. There are a few tracks on it that I can listen to over and over again, and they’re contenders for my favorites list. 4/5

I didn't listen to all 40 songs. After the 10 original tracks, I skipped the 30 bonus tracks. The album wasn't bad, but I obviously didn't like it enough to want more of the same. 3/5

For some reason, the band's name sounds familiar, but I can't remember when or where I heard it. I mostly enjoyed the album. I think I'll listen to it again, though not anytime soon. 4/5

What I've heard sounded like bad copies of the Rolling Stones or the Beatles. Then I'd rather listen to the better originals. 2/5

Although I actually like the genre, I found the execution on this album a bit boring. There were one or two tracks toward the end of the album that I really liked. I found the rest uninteresting. 3/5

A really nice album. From time to time, I enjoy listening to Frank Sinatra. It stirs up warm, nostalgic feelings of a “clean” America in its “golden age”—even though the U.S. was neither clean nor golden back then. I’ll enjoy listening to this album every now and then, but not anytime soon. 3/5

Actually, it's pretty nice music. Nice arrangements. But incredibly boring. The vocals are constantly teetering on the edge of being annoying. I won't be listening to this again. 2/5

Surprisingly, the album was released after I had already started working on the project. As a fan of The Cure, I listened to it right away back then. Now I've listened to it again. I was a little disappointed with the first half. The second half was better, but not really captivating. I'll definitely listen to the album again, but certainly not anytime soon. 3/5

The album cover and its genre classification put me off right away. Still, I listened to parts of it. It wasn't as terrible as I'd expected. Jazmine Sullivan's voice is pretty nice, but not exceptional. I've heard similar voices many times before. Overall, the music is somewhat boring pop. I'm not really in the mood for that. 3/5

I've heard of the eels. But I couldn't assign the band correctly. I found the album very funny. The somewhat rough voice of the singer caused me to occasionally spee up. But that wasn't so bad. I think if I'm not a fan of the album, I'll still listen to it again. 4/5
