I also gave this hip-hop/rap album a chance. I can't get anything out of the genre.

The atmosphere at St. Quentin seems to have been really good. Johnny Cash also seemed to have had a lot of fun. And I would have liked to have had the same with the album. Unfortunately, I'm not interested in this kind of country music.

Apparently this is what music sounded like in the mid-60s. I'm not sure who was writing for whom and whether the path of musical inspiration only ever went in one direction. Anyway, I really liked a few tracks on the album. Sunny Afternoon is one of my favorites. I was also pleased to hear Dandy again. But all in all, it's not enough to get into the higher ranks.
3/5

During the first tracks of the album, I thought it could be quite interesting. Around the middle, I wasn't interested anymore.

I didn't like the album, but it wasn't as annoying as I thought it would be. Still, I probably won't listen to it again and I don't feel like I missed anything so far.

Crosby, Stills & Nash reminds me of times on dingy sofas, in stuffy Norwegian sweaters and sweet wild cherry tea. That was great back then. Now I just find it strange. And even at that time, Crosby, Stills & Nash were just a side note for me. I heard it in the alternative scene but it didn't impress me.
And even now I found the music uninteresting. It played on the side and the best I could say about it was that it didn't bother me much.

After being very enthusiastic about Dummy and Portishead, I was very pleased to hear that there was to be a new album, Third by Portishead. I quickly bought the album. However, I was disappointed when I heard it. The trip-hop I was expecting was not played. Yes, I thought, not bad, but I prefer the previous stuff. And so I put the album aside and didn't listen to it again.
As part of this project, I listened to it again and have to admit that I did the album an injustice. It is great. In fact, it's no longer trip-hop. It's different, more experimental. In the first track in particular, I like the disharmony and arythmia at the beginning, which then dissolves. I also really enjoyed the surprising endings. A nice contrast to the multiple fade-outs. Really great.

Very punk and also funny in parts. At the end it was a bit exhausting and became annoying.

I only had a vague memory of the Monkees. I probably only heard their name once. I gave the album a chance. I gave it up after 18 tracks. The music was uninteresting to me and was increasingly getting on my nerves. Only Zilch promised to be more interesting. It wasn't boring, but it was so annoying that I abandoned it.

I listened to the UK version of the album as if selected by the generator. The much appreciated track Paint it Black is not on there. There are also a few other small differences. It was nice to hear Lady Jane and Under my Thumb again. But like the rest of the album, they also seemed a bit flat and anemic. This is not the Stones' strongest album.

I don't like Fiona Anna. Maybe her face reminds me too much of a friend I don't like either. So I was certainly biased. Nevertheless, I tried to listen to the album. I think the first track was not too bad. After the chanting in an unpleasant voice got on my nerves more and more in the second track, I only gave the other tracks a quick listen. There was nothing more that I liked.

I could never really do anything with "Yes". I really like prog rock, but my relationship with "Yes" was always rather distant. Some parts of the album remind me a lot of Genesis, except that I like Genesis much better. All in all, the album isn't bad, but I won't be listening to it again any time soon.

The album doesn't convince me. I found most of the songs a bit lame. It was nice to hear the original Without You again. I was actually only familiar with the cover version by Mariah Carey. I was very happy about the Coconut song, which I only knew as a cover version from the Muppet Show. All in all, I find the album uninteresting.

Another lonely cowboy sings to his guitar by the campfire. I played the songs. None of them interested me. The piece For a Spanish Guitar promised to be interesting. If it was indeed written for a Spanish guitar, it lacked the virtuosity to play it. Boring.

Yes, these are the Pixies. Even if the album isn't one of my top favorites, it's definitely good. And it was nice to hear the Pixies again.

I was never a big fan of Elton John. So I was a bit skeptical when this album was suggested to me. And of all things, it contained Candle in the Wind. The inflationary playing of this song after Diana's death really spoiled it for me. Now that I've listened to the album, I have to say that I quite like it. I was thrilled to hear Saturday Night's Alright again.

I don't like this whining, moaning kind of country music.

This is funny. A lot of different styles. It's not too bad.

I don‘t like Hip-Hop. The aggressive attitude is boring.

Reminds me a little bit to Fisher Z but not as good, even the hits of the album. It‘s boring.
