The fact that the album was classified as hip-hop and the relatively recent release date of the album initially put me off quite a bit. I actually only wanted to listen to it briefly to confirm my negative suspicions. But then I listened to the album all the way through. It didn't live up to my low expectations and I really enjoyed it. I had no idea that such good soul and funk music was still being made today. 4/5

Das Album hat mir ganz gut gefallen. Einige Sounds erinnerten mich an 'Kraftwerk', auch wenn deren Musik aus einem völlig anderem Genre kommt. Nach einem Tag ist mir aber nicht viel von dem Album im Gedächtnis gebleiben. Vielleicht höre ich mir das noch mal an. 3/5

Ich esse lieber Salsa und höre Mexican Rock als dass ich Tortillas esse und Salsa höre. 1/5

At first, as is often the case with live recordings, I thought the sound wasn't right. But this time it was different. I had some problems with Highway Star. After that, I liked the sound and Deep Purple's music anyway. I prefer the studio recordings, but this album is also great. 4/5

I discovered Piazolla many years ago through Gotan Project, a band I really like. I enjoy most of the music. Maybe it's my current mood, but at the moment it's a little too Argentinean for me to really appreciate it. 3/5

Nothing Compares 2 U was the song that first brought Sinead O'Connor to my attention. I listened to it a lot back then. I listened to the rest of the album once, but then forgot about it. Sinead has a great voice. The album is fantastic. 5/5

What I found interesting in Dion's biography was his membership in New York gangs as a teenager and the connection to the film "The Wanderers," which I recently saw again. I have roughly the same opinion of the album as he does. He distanced himself from it because it sounded like funeral music. A little too schmaltzy and oily. 2/5

I don't really like live concert recordings. They're usually only great if you were there. I didn't understand the unplugged hype either. Give me the best-produced material, the studio album. But here it's different. The unplugged acoustic version works great here. Kurt's voice comes across very well, sometimes better than on studio albums, where it sometimes gets lost in the noise. I know that my reservations about live recordings are wrong. I love Pink Floyd's live recordings. This album shows me that there are also live albums by other bands that are completely independent works of art and not just sentimental memories. This album, which I would not have listened to without this project, will be one of my favorites. 5/5

I don't understand the enthusiasm for Elvis Costello. The pop is mediocre, Elvis' voice is terrible. After listening to a few tracks, this album got on my nerves so much that I didn't want to hear the rest of it. This is now the third album of his in this project. But since he seems to be very popular with the editors, I fear that my hope of finally being done with him here is unfounded. 1/5

Hip hop doesn't become music just because white kids rap. I listened to the first track briefly, recognized it from before, and still think it's crap, just like I did back then. I didn't need to listen to the rest. 1/5

I liked the album quite a bit, but it didn't blow me away. It seemed too self-indulgent to me. I liked Transformers better, which I also listened to in its entirety for the first time as part of this project. I'm not sure yet whether I want to listen to it again, but I don't think so. 3/5

I rarely listen to Kate Bush, but when I do, I usually enjoy it. That's how I felt about this album. It was nice to hear it again, and I'll probably listen to it again. But probably not in the near future. 4/5

I was expecting the worst. Over an hour of country music. But I actually quite liked the album. I probably won't listen to it again, but it wasn't hard to listen to either. 3/5

Remarkable. The album belongs to the two genres that annoy me the most. Nevertheless I listened to the first track with interest and was excited to hear what was coming next. By the second track, I knew. To confirm my impression, I listened to a few more tracks. I'm not interested in this rubbish. 1/5

A great album. I enjoy listening to it again. 4/5

I really enjoyed some of the sounds, riffs, and tracks on this album. However, I found most of the sound relatively flat and the album as a whole uninteresting. 3/5

The album was quite interesting, but I only really liked one track. I probably won't listen to it again. 3/5

This was the second Emmylou Harris album in this project. I had successfully forgotten that I had heard one of hers before. This whiny country lament gets on my nerves. Or is it just Emmylou's voice? Anyway, I haven't listened to it all the way through and I won't. 1/5

Actually, I don't like Bob Dylan. I've explicitly blocked him on my streaming service. I don't like his voice. I can't really get into his music, and all the hype surrounding him gets on my nerves. But this album wasn't so bad. Maybe I'll even give it another listen. 3/5

When I saw the cover, I was curious to see what awaited me. So it was supposed to be British folk. That's not necessarily a genre I like. But the cover was unusual and promised something out of the ordinary. Well, I didn't like it. Too saccharine, too much campfire romance. The story behind the album and the cover was interesting, but the music wasn't for me. 2/5
