I don't really like this genre that much. Nevertheless, it was quite interesting to listen to this album. It didn't really inspire me. Towards the end, it started to get on my nerves a bit. It's not my taste and I won't listen to it again. 3/5

Downtempo, electronica, and trip hop are all genres that I really like. So despite the rather cautious reviews in this forum, I was excited about the album. I liked most of it, but I wasn't blown away. The Indian/Asian influences are too foreign to me for me to feel comfortable with them. I probably won't listen to the album again. 3/5

It took me a long time to start liking the Beatles. They were groundbreaking and incredibly creative in their day. I didn't like John Lennon's liaison with the vastly overrated Yoko Ono and the resulting solo career. It felt too much like self-promotion. I quite like listening to the song Imagine on the album from time to time. I find the rest meaningless. I won't be listening to the album again anytime soon. 3/5

I was familiar with the band's name. However, I associated it more with a band from the 70s. I really enjoyed the album. I'd like to listen to it again. 4/5

Musical revolutions were sparked in the 50s and 60s. In some cases, the music was so groundbreaking that it is still worth listening to today. This album is not one of them. It sounds too much like completely outdated pop from a bygone era. It was interesting to hear the original version of Nazareth's cover of Love Hurts, which I often listened to in my youth. But I don't need to hear it again. 3/5

This may have been Michael Jackson's best album. However, I don't like the style, the arrangements, or the voice. Listening to the music again didn't give me a pleasant feeling of nostalgia. However, it wasn't so annoying that I had to turn it off. 3/5

A great album. I even have it on CD, but I haven't listened to it in a long time. I should do that more often, even though it's not Nick Cave's strongest album. 5/5

The album was okay, but nothing more. I don't feel like listening to it again. 3/5

I've never heard of this band. The music on the album was okay, although I'm not quite sure why it's on the list. I might listen to it again, but I'm not sure. 3/5

An interesting album. I'll gladly listen to it again. 4/5

Even after many attempts, I still can't get into hip-hop. It's not music. 1/5

I was familiar with the band's name. However, I expected the music to be in a different genre. Not so much big band and jazz. It was quite interesting, but it didn't really convince me. I want to listen to it again. But I wasn't thrilled by it. 3/5

Ever since the band was mistaken for the Dust Brothers, I've always liked the Chemical Brothers, even if the music sometimes became exhausting. I didn't manage to listen to the whole album. In part, it reminded me of The Prodigy, whom I also find a bit annoying at times. I have to be in the right mood for this music. Pills or adrenaline probably help. I have no experience with pills, but I'm sure the album is a lot of fun then. It was too exhausting for me. 3/5

Phew, what a load of crap. I tried listening to a Joni Mitchell album again. And once again, I gave up. I don't like her voice, I don't like the arrangements, and I especially don't like this shallow pop music. I still don't understand what's so great about Joni Mitchell. 1/5

I discovered Pink Floyd as a teenager through the albums Wish You Were Here, Animals and Dark Side of The Moon. This groundbreaking influence on my musical taste came when I was the new kid on the block in my new peer group in a new city. It was very moving and inspiring. In my exuberance, I bought the albums Ummagumma and A Nice Pair. These were very irritating for me. Simply too experimental for my listening habits, which at the time were still too influenced by pop music with its emphasis on harmonies. In that respect, I also found The Piper at The Gates of Dawn interesting, but generally far too exhausting to listen to. It was only later that this changed fundamentally. Now I am also enthusiastic about Pink Floyd's early work under the brilliant influence of Syd Barrett. Well, the band's later work, starting with The Wall, is worth listening to, but significantly less impressive than the previous albums. The actual album is remarkable for its groundbreaking influence on rock history alone. But it also stands out as a great album in its own right, even after all this time. 5/5

That wasn't bad at all. It's amazing that the album wasn't released until the mid-90s. The sound is actually reminiscent of older German electronic pioneers. But then there are also a few passages that sound very much like trance, which I also like. I'm sure I won't listen to the album again anytime soon, but who knows? 4/5

In part, the music reminded me of the early songs by Genesis, and in part of a German band that I don't like. I was ambivalent about whether I wanted to listen to the whole album. It was interesting, but also boring at times. Then I pricked up my ears when I heard "Time of the Season." I'd known the song for a long time and always liked it. I didn't realize it was by The Zombies. I think I need to listen to the album again. 4/5

Ein großartiges Album, dass ich fast vergessen habe. Wie Autobahn fühlt man sich, als wäre man etwas schläfrig auf einer Reise durch eine künstliche, aber schöne Landschaft. Oft wünsche ich mir, Reisen wäre so, ist es aber nie. Ich habe mir das deutsche Original angehört, daher ist mir ein ‚deutscher Akzent‘ den andere Rezensenten hörten, nicht aufgefallen. :-) Und natürlich gibt es als Anerkennung für diesen deutschen Meilenstein in der elektronischen Musikgeschichte den Kommentar in Deutsch. 5/5

My youngest brother has always been a big Iron Maiden fan. I thought it was more of an attitude towards the band's mascot. Later, I listened to the band's music myself and really liked some of it. Well, maybe it was my mood that day, but somehow I couldn't get excited about it. To judge it better, I'll have to listen to it again. 3/5

Finally, a new album from Radiohead in this list. I had heard the album before and was excited to hear it again. Well, it was very good, but I expected more. Too bad. 4/5
