David Bowie is one of those names that keep popping up in music that are considered legendary, but after listening to this album, I'm afraid I don't get it. It's not hitting in any way.

RevolverThe Beatles

Rated 6/10

Think this is my favourite Beatles album so far due to the sheer variety that's on display here. But it's not quite good enough for me to brand it with a 4 status for me.

Groovy good. Was a bit skeptical when I saw it was a movie soundtrack, but it is jam packed with great tunes and beautiful singing. Lyrics are also profound.

The Bowie mix seems like a diluted cocktail while the Iggy mix is straight up a shot of gin. Definitely prefer the latter for its more jagged edge.

Billy Joel will always be a delight to listen to, but I get the feeling that this isn't really his stand out work.

The kind of music you'd hear in a jazz café where your friend brings you one time and keeps saying 'this is REAL music'. Don't get me wrong, it's decent, but you're not exactly blown out of the water after listening to this. It's more like a gentle splash.

Rid of MePJ Harvey

Rated 6/10

It's good, but it feels a bit more unpolished and raw - and not always in a good way. Still, the vocals of PJ Harvey are a delight.

Beautifully done. Even back then, Queen was nothing short of epic, even if some tracks were a bit rough around the edges.

Taylor Swift is alright. Like, I'll be the first to admit that she's not my jam, but she's definitely not the next best thing since sliced bread. But it's decent.

There's some interesting samples here and there, but nothing stood out to me. I wasn't even aware that my music player had auto shuffled over to another artist. So meh.

The ChronicDr. Dre

Rated 6/10

Crass, vulgar, and infantile. Hip Hop deserves better lyrics. Nevertheless, the beats are sick and the flow of Dre and Snoop is tight.

Regarding the other electronic albums on this list, this one actually felt more meaningful. It involved more complex layers to the mix.
