A blend of blues rock with harder titles, it's understandable why it's considered a landmark album of rock'n'roll.

Favorite songs: I don't mind ; My Generation ; The Ox

En-TactThe Shamen

Rated 4/10

Never heard of The Shamen and understand why, it's by no way in my taste. The shitty electronic sound of the 80's is so prevalent that I would enjoy a trip at the dentist 10_000 times more than listening to this album. Hopefully the second part of the album redeems it a bit.

Favorite songs: Possible Worlds: Deep Psi

What I liked about this album is that even if it's a rap album it's by no way simple loops and samples. There's always something to find when listening to any song.

Favorite songs: Wesley's Theory ; King Kunta ; Hood Politics ; Complexion ; The Blacker the Berry ; Mortal Man

It sounds like a good uneventful album : nice voice, good music but nothing that makes me think "wow I needed to ear that before I die".

Favorite Songs: Next Girl

Quite boring and sometimes ridiculous (I mean come on "Fall at Your Feet" really sucks and when the choir comes it's really over the top cringe).

It was so lame it successfully disctracted me from work in order to add this to the review.

Favorite Songs: Four Seasons in One Day

A really great album, the first two songs directly catch your attention, the chord progression and the drumming on Into the Light is really really good.

A very nice discovery.

Favorite Songs: Spellbound ; Into the Light

10/10 for the cover art, it has this minimalistic vibe that I quite like.

But the release in itself it's the beatles when they were still a boys band, my favorite songs were covers of earlier songs and it's telling. Hopefully they got better with the time.

Favorite Songs: All My Loving ; Please Mister Postman ; Money

A very bland pop-folk album with some touches of electronica, I didn't noticed it back then and it stayed unremarkable from my pov. In the end I really hoped the album was shorter.

Anyway I have the impression David Gray is the grand father of Ed Sheeran or the like.

Favorite Songs: Please forgive me (I was not yet irritated and it has some catchy tunes).

It's OK glam rock, sometimes catchy and some times spacey ballads. I wasn't impressed but it wasn't boring either.

Favorite Songs: Cosmic Dancer ; Get It On

A strange album where some songs are a blend of almost heavy rock and funk that groove and others are too long.

Over all I find this album has a strange sense of humor, at least I found it quite funny at times … I mean it starts with "Mother Earth is pregnant for the third time and you all knocked it up" after all.

Favorite Songs: Can you Get to That ; Hit it and Quit it

A true metal classic. The songs are long and tell you a little story every time and yet never too boring (sometimes it's a bit too much yeah). It's also really energyzing.

Favorite Songs: Master of Puppets ; Welcome Home ; Leper Messiah ; Orion

A pop rock album that has its appeal like the vocal harmonies, the overall very clear and crisp sound. It's without a doubt a hallmark of the 70's post hippie rock.

But the thing is that I doubt I'll listen it very often as I like it better when things are a bit rough on the edge.

Favorite Songs: Don't Stop ; Go your own way ; The Chain

This album stand out not only because of the incredible flow of Eminem but also because it has this kind of groove that catch everyone's ear.

Favorite Songs: Stan ; The Way I Am ; The Real Slim Shady ; I'm Back

Hot FussThe Killers

Rated 6/10

A quite generic rock album with some great tunes. I'll be happy when I stumble on it at random but I don't think I'll ever actively search for it.

Favorite Songs: Mr. Brightside ; Somebody told me

While I know very well Scorpio Rising, I never took the time to listen to this album. It's a good old DJ / producer album in the trip hop genre like the 90s were able to produce. While it's a nice trip to memory lane, the album is not all that memorable.

Favorite Songs: Dirge ;
