Much better than I expected, I even knew two songs, Relax is obvious but Two Tribes is much heard and very sick as well! Interesting structure and cool sounds, probably at least 3 stars here

I will give this 2 stars just out of spite. Unique and influential offering, however barely listenable, but still this is one of the very few hommages to Musique Concrete movement on this list.

Too bad this is the only Santana album here, latin goodness. Already have this rated at 4.5/5.0 on RYM, but not sure if this one reaches 5 stars for me, strong 4 for sure.

Better than expected after listening to the whole album, not great, but not terrible, but I don't think I need to hear any more of such albums. 3 stars at most.

Here I thought, oh well, another below average indie rock album from a band I've never heard before, but I couldn't have been more wrong on this one. Some kind of noisy experimental indie-ish record. On some tracks, experimental use of percussion even reminds me of Tom Waits, definitely at least 3 stars, 3.5 on RYM and must REVISIT.

This will be fairly obvious and easy 5 stars for me, not as hard choise as it was with Music for the Masses. Every single song on this album is very good, pretty much a perfect album for me and possibly the best Depeche album as well.

Yay.. Yet another indie record, how many more of these will I have to endure? Once again, just few songs in I see absolutely nothing special about this, some Stooges influence, cool, some hardcore punk influence so at least it is a bit different from other indie offerings I got, but still I mean this is below average for me, not terrible but I can survive fine without this thanks

I guess I can understand why this is beloved, but then again I'm afraid this doesn't do much for me at all, very average. I already had Achtung Baby so probably this one will also be 3 stars and that's being a bit generous from my perspective I feel.

Probably easy 5 stars today, only because, gladly, I already had time to properly listen to this one a year ago, it wouldn't have been enough time if I haven't. Also, I am a bit regretting giving Public Enemy 4 stars yesterday which shouldn't even be part of this review! Anyway, beautiful album

Legendary! Great start for a week, absolutely easy 4 stars, maybe even max, we will see what album tracks will be like

Never heard of this before, is this some kind of feminist dance punk? Actually not too bad, some very cool tracks, but I don't like a lot of drum machine beats here, probably mid 3 stars for me.

Never heard of this project before and from the first song sounds very interesting. After listening to the whole album I thought it had Eno influence and it turns out Eno is indeed the producer here which explains a lot. Interesting mix of chamber, folk, prog and other styles, definitely strong 4 stars and REVISIT worthy

Legendary album! Will have fun this with one. out of 9 tracks I am well familiar with 3 of them but overall a great vibe, possibly 4 stars.

Again I would prefer studio album, but oh well. This is legendary and probably one of the better known live albums of Metal. Great stuff, but not close to being my favourite record of Motorhead. Probably easy 4 stars though.

So if I only judged this by the title track it would clearly be 5 stars, but this is not how I do things here, and sadly I am only familiar with the title track despite loving Mr. Cooper. Will be a treat, but so far after listening to it once I have to say this is not the strongest offering from Mr. Cooper I have heard so far. Will probably need to grow on me, but at the moment between 3 and 4 stars and most likely 3.5 on RYM. The rest of the album could not be any different from the title track, even some jazz influences here, some cabaret which is pretty cool, but does feel a bit loose and undefined, on the 2nd listen still learning towards 3 stars. P.S. On 2nd listen I really like "Alma Mater" and closing instrumental track

This instantly reminds me of Public Enemy knock-off, even as far as the main MC vocal goes - he does remind me of Chuck D. Television is the drug of the nation is the track which stood out the most. Good stuff, probably 3 stars, cause I would still prefer Public Enemy for this political hip-hop stuff

In so many years since knowing of Derek & the Dominoes, I have never bothered to listen to this besides Layla, so should be interesting. So far, listened to half and don't really see what's the big fuss with this one. Your average 70s blues rock with mid vocal performances and not many memorable parts at all I'm afraid, probably 3 stars at most.

Glad to get chance to discover more from Bauhaus besides Bela Lugosi is dead. This is quite decent, will rate at least 3.5 on Rym. Couple songs already went to post punk playlist and will REVISIT. I think I will give 3 stars after few listens, but this one might even reach 4 in the future, very enjoyable and good post-punk/gothic rock album.

Never heard of these guys, after one listen nothing really stood out very much and it seems like very average 70s UK Punk. Not sure why this is on the list, 2, perhaps 3 stars but that's pushing a bit.

This is easily 5 stars for me, probably my favourite Reggae album.
