There's such a terrible noise. I didn't get it at all, and after putting up with it for three tracks, I didn't want to waste any more of my time on it. 1/5

Steve Winwood has a good, interesting voice. It reminds me a little of Peter Gabriel or Phil Collins. The song “While You See Chance” was a hit back in my day and was played over and over again. It was nice to hear it again. But overall, I didn’t think this synth-pop was good enough to listen to more often. 3/5

Cool. Everything I've heard from this album has caught my interest. I'd love to listen to it again. Maybe this album will even become one of my favorites. 5/5

This might be pop music with a slightly different twist, but that doesn't make it any good. The music played softly in the background. It didn't get on my nerves. But I wasn't interested in listening to it more closely either. 3/5

Well, I really liked that. There's also a song by this band on my list of favorite songs. I hadn't listened to a full album of theirs before. I've caught up on that now, and there's even more to listen to. 5/5

MottMott the Hoople

Rated 6/10

The album wasn't all that bad. However, there wasn't a single track on it that really stuck with me or made me want to listen to it again. 3/5

As is often the case with live albums, if you weren't there, it's hard to really enjoy them. James Brown is great, and his music is fantastic. He and the audience had a blast. I even enjoyed the intro. But as the album went on, that feeling got lost on me a bit—precisely because I wasn't there. I prefer listening to Brown's studio albums. 3/5

Viva HateMorrissey

Rated 8/10

Despite all the reservations about his performances and behavior, Morrissey simply makes good music and has a great, extraordinary voice. I'll happily listen to the album again. 4/5

Primal Scream is included in my daily music stream by my music service. For me, this was a band I’d just discovered. I found this album—the first one of theirs that I’ve listened to in its entirety—quite interesting. I especially liked the song “Trainspotting.” I’m going to listen to the album again. 4/5

Tori Amos has a great voice. I also really liked some of the songs. The music reminded me of Kate Bush. But just like with her, I can hardly bring myself to listen to the whole album. Toward the end, the vocals started to get on my nerves. 3/5

What a trivial pop album—so generic and forgettable. I've heard similar, uninteresting songs a thousand times. Now I could associate it with a name. But I'd rather just forget that one right away, too. 2/5

At times, I thought I was going to become a fan of The Who as part of this project. I’d heard a few great songs by the band before, but other than that, I wasn’t particularly impressed. I was looking forward to this album, since it includes one of my favorites. What a disappointment. If this had been the first album of theirs I’d heard, I probably wouldn’t have bothered listening to the others. Oh, I just realized that this is the band's fifth album for me. Apparently, I'm not a fan after all. That reassures me a little. 2/5
