Oh, actually, the album is pretty nice. Little songs with catchy melodies in simple arrangements. I doubt it was really necessary to record a 3-hour album with them. Maybe I’ll even listen to it again. Probably not, though, because there’s plenty of other music that interests me more. 3/5

I hadn’t heard of SUBA before. But I like electronica, downtempo, and trip hop. I like a South American influence either. I actually liked this album quite a bit at the first tracks. Toward the end, though, it started to get on my nerves. I probably won’t go out of my way to listen to it again. 3/5

Boring. After five tracks, the album started to get on my nerves. 2/5

This is Dusty Springfield’s second album in this project. I was pleasantly surprised by the first one. I had expected something completely different. I was looking forward to this album. Unfortunately, it doesn’t live up to my expectations. The music was okay, but it sounded like it was made ten years earlier, back in the ’50s. I don’t think I’ll be listening to this album again anytime soon. 3/5

Hippie music from the '60s. That was before my time. Still, that era had an influence on my youth. There are a few tracks on the album that I really like. But the album as a whole is more than enough of that sound. I’ll listen to individual tracks again, but probably not the whole album. 3/5

I don't feel like listening to anything from that black Nazi. He doesn't make music, and I don't want to hear his slogans and political rants. 1/5

This is the band's second album in this project. It's okay, but it doesn't really blow me away. For some reason, I remembered the band's music differently. I don't need to listen to this album again. 3/5

If you went to discos, you had to know Destiny’s Child. I was never a fan of discos, but I knew the band—maybe because of my nieces, anyway. Aside from the fact that the girls play light pop, I didn’t remember anything specific about them. About halfway through the album, I was sure: that’s exactly what it is. Light pop that you can forget right away. 3/5

A great album. I don't really recognize much punk in it, but there's plenty of top-notch rock. I'll definitely be listening to this album often. 5/5

Hip hop isn't music. I don't care what Jay-Z and his comrades have to say. In this case, I prefer Sheldon Cooper's cultivated ignorance: I didn't even know if it was a person or a thing. 1/5

A really interesting and fun album. I’d love to listen to it again. 4/5

The album wasn't bad. The music reminded me a bit of Bush and a few German bands from the '90s that I used to listen to a lot back then. But none of the tracks really blew me away. Now that I'm listening to my daily stream, I realize in comparison just how little of interest the album had to offer. 3/5

I never get tired of listening to Blur. This album is no exception. It didn't exactly blow me away, but it's still very good. 4/5

That’s a bit too Middle Eastern for my taste. I usually hear music like that coming from the overpowered show-off cars of our little friends from Asia Minor in the inner-city ghettos. And even there, I don’t enjoy it. 1/5

That was hard rock—pretty heavy at times and surprisingly funky. Overall, it was nice to have given this album a listen. But I don’t think it’s really my cup of tea. I won’t be listening to it again anytime soon. 3/5

It’s been a long time since I last listened to the Crusaders. When I heard “Street Life”, it immediately reminded me of “Jacky Brown”, even though I was already familiar with the track. I think the sound is great, even if it’s not really part of my daily playlist. But who knows? 4/5

The band's name sounds familiar. I think I came across them at some point in my daily music stream. I really liked them back then. I feel the same way about this album. I quite liked it. I don't know if I'll listen to it every day, but I'll definitely enjoy it every now and then. 4/5

This is now the fourth of five albums in this project. I took another look at my previous reviews. They were much better than I thought. There was the rather fundamental rejection of the cerebral, intellectual singer and the surprised realization that I liked the music more than I expected. It was the same this time. Maybe, ultimately thanks to this project, I’m becoming a fan? 4/5

I’ve never heard of the band or the album before. The music was pretty good, though it did tend to veer into the realm of polite boredom. I can’t decide if I want to listen to the album again. But at least I’m thinking about it. 3/4

I've never been a fan of the Bee Gees. But I wanted to give the album a chance to pleasantly surprise me. During the first track, I thought it might actually work. After that, though, the cheesiness that was already present in the song became too much for me. I couldn't bring myself to finish the album, and I won't be trying again. 2/5
