A bit of a mixed bag for me. I like the White Stripes but this one has more duds on it than their other albums. Still, especially the harder rockers are great songs. I loved Blue Orchid and Instinct Blues. As Ugly As I Seem is a beautiful slow and simple song. A lot of the other songs range from unmemorable to not that liked by me. Still a well liked and nostalgic album for me though.

This album has everything. A double LP that doesn't overstay its welcome. There are memorable songs and riffs for days. Tons of guitar solos as expected too. Memorable hits like Crosstown Traffic, All Along The Watchtower and House Burning Down. Along with that some epic jams that delve into long ass solo's like on 1983 and the Voodoo Child/e's. Only nitpick is that I'm not really a fan of Little Miss Strange, it sounds a bit out of place and doesn't live up to how amazing other songs are. One of the best 60's albums still.

Worthy inclusion. It's a very pleasant album to listen to, just not one I pick often. A great starting point for discovering more Latin and Cuban music. However, the genres they touch on here have more fleshed out albums to delve into. It's a good compilation but I'd rather listen to other albums in these genres.

MADCHESTER! I like pretty much every song on here, from the deepcuts to the big hits. Every track is a joy and there's no real filler here. However, while I like the tracks, I don't quite love them like I do with other albums.

Nina Simone's singing and playing is extremely soulful. A lot of great tracks here, can't really go wrong with any of Nina Simone's output from this era.

There are some stellar tracks on here, like the title track and the fart noise song. Not every track on here is as consistent or memorable. Still a great Funk classic.

The guy on the right sums up my reaction to the album. It's a Sin and What have I done to deserve this are pretty famous hits and decent songs, but I couldn't vibe with the album overall. Its a step above the other garbage that ruled the late 80's airwaves but I can't really see it as anything worth going back in time for to listen to. Interesting vocals though.

All I need was a track I hadn't heard in a really long time, really nice to rediscover that one. The rest of the album was pleasant as well, relaxing downtempo electronica that doesn't get boring like a lot of other electronica does. The songs have memorable moments and melodies to them and don't overstay their welcome. Relatively short and sweet album.

Fine album, sounds like some nice 90s college rock. I liked a bunch of tracks on here, especially the first and last track. Lots of solid hooks and riffs here, prefer it over the other Morrissey album I had.

What is this? Almost an hour long and just 5 tracks. Every song feels like some long winded medieval storytelling accompanied by bardcore instruments. Am I too dumb to get the appeal? I really don't wanna listen to it again.

Best concept album of 1967, not Sgt Peppers!!!! Really like the songs and the fun jingles give a bit of a look into the slop that was on the airwaves at the time.

Love this album, might be my favorite album of all time. The tracks on here are truly stellar. Cinnamon Girl is a great opener and reminds me a bit of Mr. Soul from Buffalo Springfields second album. Down by the River has such mesmerizing guitar playing that I could listen to for hours. The regularly reoccuring harmonies sound really nice as well.

Was quite a quest to figure out which album this actually was. Said album cover isn't on Deezer and there's 2 albums from 56/57 with basically the same album title as this. Fats Domino is always a treat to listen. These recordings feel like the emphasis is put more on the bass and guitar rather than Fats' piano playing. I liked the album but it's a bit short and I think Fats Domino Swings would have been a better pick since it includes all of his biggest hits.

EDIT: I still have no idea what the actual album is supposed to be.

EDIT 2: I found the proper album now which is different from the previous one. Sounds fine, didn't recognise any songs besides Blue Monday and Blueberry Hill. Always a joy to listen to Fats Domino but I still think Fats Domino Swings is the better showcase of his skills.

Ian Dury is a funny man with funny lyrics, such as on the final 2 tracks. His voice isn't conventionally pretty, but this half talking half singing voice works well for the songs. Album just seems to fly by, but its a really fun listen if not a very conventionally beautiful album.

As popular and sell outs as they became, I never really hated the material U2 put out. I mainly like their earlier 80's output but almost anything they've done is fine by me. This one starts off with 3 of their biggest hits and then runs through a bunch of great deep cuts. Bullet the Blue Sky and Red Hill Mining Town were my favorites this listen. Not a big fan of the last track though, doesn't add anything and the album was already hard enough to cram onto 1 LP.

Much better than I anticipated. Sounds quite a lot like a more melodic Radiohead. Some really strong tracks on here like the title track and Clocks. Doubt I'll listen to it much more though.

FYI: the spotify-link to this album is wrong. The real version is 2.5 hours long and has completely different songs.

Difficult album to rate, the trouble finding the right version didn't help. I'm not that big of a Drum n Bass fan and 143 minutes is way too long as an album. I enjoyed the first hour or so but 20+ long tracks gets boring after a while. I still enjoyed the individual songs on here and I do think it's deserving of a place on this list as representation for a pretty big genre, but I don't think I will ever listen to this as an album again.

One of the easiest 5 stars to give. I love all the songs on here, especially the ones where Dylan goes electric. Tombstone Blues, Highway 61 Revisited and Queen Jane Approximately are my favorites, but I like them all.

Oasis' Be here now from Temu. It feels really overindulgent. There's some nice songs here like The Drugs Don't Work, but the overall thing is a lengthy 75 minutes with songs that have been needlessly dragged out. Can't say they aren't nice noisy soundscapes though.

Really great dadrocker. All the members are incredibly talented at their instruments. Foreplay / Long Time is the highlight for me, although I like a lot of the other songs as well. Does get a point less for how overplayed some of the songs are, even if they're good.
