Phew, that was exhausting. After a lot of effort, I managed to listen to parts of the album. This is exactly the kind of experimental music that I don't understand and that really gets on my nerves. I'm not a musicologist and I don't want to become one. Maybe it's brilliant stuff. I don't enjoy it. I definitely won't be listening to it again. 1/5

The music was quite pleasant. However, there wasn't a single track that made me want to listen to it again. The whole album hovered between nice and boring. 3/5

I first heard Manu Chao many years ago with the song Bongo Bong. I was very impressed. I listened to this fun song over and over again, forgot about it for a while, but now I've added it to my favourites list so that I can listen to it again and again with a big smile on my face. I didn't know the rest of the album yet. Although I'm not really into this genre, I enjoy this album so much that I'll gladly listen to it again. 5/5

I forced myself to listen to this crap. Three tracks, different parts each time, and it sounded equally stupid throughout. After that, I didn't feel like wasting any more of my time on it. 1/5

Hip-hop doesn't become music even when white criminals make it. I'll save myself the trouble of even listening to it. 1/5

Well, it's just 80s pop. There's a lot of it out there, and better stuff too. Uninteresting and meaningless. 3/5

They say you shouldn't judge a book by its cover. On the other hand, musicians often choose their own album covers. And when I look at this cover and consider the genre, which I dislike, I feel a strong aversion to even listening to this album. I'll spare myself that. Hip-hop isn't music. 1/5

I first discovered the album in 1977 when I was a teenager. It was my first album in the electronic music genre. At the time, it was a revelation for me and set the bar by which other musicians in the genre had to be measured. However, the more I listened to the genre, the more reserved my opinion of this album became. Eventually, I stopped listening to it for a long time. That has now changed. The music is great. I think I'll listen to the album again and again. 5/5

I was surprised. I was expecting something terrible. Overall, I found the music very entertaining and funny. I might not listen to it every day, but I'll definitely listen to it from time to time. 4/5

I'm tired of this overrated Bob Dylan. I'll spare myself the trouble of listening to this album and temporarily lifting the block on my streaming service. 1/5

Phew, that was pretty boring. I definitely won't be listening to it again. 3/5

Yesterday I listened to the album. Today I don't remember what I heard. It can't have been very impressive to me. 3/5

Phew, at some point I introduced my younger brother, with whom I had to share a room, to this band. He became a fan. Since then, as it was his stereo system, I had to listen to all the band's albums that my brother could afford over and over again. It haunted me even in my sleep. In the meantime, I immediately turned off the music whenever any of their songs were played. I've become a little more lenient now. Nevertheless, I still find the overall sound too saccharine. 3/5

I used to listen to Sonic Youth quite a bit. But I forgot about them. After a long time, I listened to one of their albums again. It was okay, but I wasn't thrilled by it. 3/5

In the early 2000s, a dear friend whom I hadn't seen for years introduced me to this band. I was thrilled and bought this album, among others. I listened to it so often that I eventually got tired of it. My enthusiasm isn't quite as great now, but it's nice to listen to the album again. 4/5

I was already familiar with the band Jane's Addiction. However, I couldn't have named an album or a song. After a rather interesting start to the album, I found it increasingly boring as it went on. I liked some parts of the album because the band incorporated brass instruments into their music. I found that exciting, but overall it wasn't enough to improve my impression. In my later music stream, I heard newer songs by the band that I liked much better. 3/5

The only song I really know by Rod Stewart is I Am Sailing. It has been played so often on certain occasions that it has become overplayed. Otherwise, Rod Stewart always struck me as a slightly drunken chav who you would rather be left alone with in a harbour pub. This album does not change that impression. Overall, it exudes a slightly annoying boredom. 2/5

I knew TLC from their early days. Back then, I was even somewhat interested in their music. This combination of pop and funky hip-hop is fun at times. Overall, however, the pop is too insignificant. 3/4

At first, the album sounded quite interesting. But as it went on, it became increasingly boring. I will also forget this album much faster than it took me to listen to it. 3/5

I was familiar with the name of the band, but I couldn't have named an album or song. It was a band I always told myself I should listen to, but never got around to it. Until now. I found the music so uninteresting that I didn't even get annoyed by it. Irrelevant. 3/5
