2/5

In no way good but not the worst I got from this list so far. But again, why is such an album on this list? Did the author too much drugs to come up with actual records that someone should have listened to before dying? 2/5 but only because I got much worse before.

I thought this was a list about music and I got a (really bad) audiobook with some standard jazz as background music. Absolute sh*t 1/5.

Might be the first rap album that I like. Sound is not repetitive and there are quite some interesting songs.

Chris

Christine and the Queens

1/5

Why is this on the list? It sounds like background music that I hear when entering a generic store – and this is not a quality sign. Some songs remind me of Michael Jackson but without any soul (in both senses of the word). So I ask why the producer of the album did not spot it and either made something out of it or changed the songs on this record.

3/5

The album starts really good, but then there is this track "Voices of Old People". Why is it there? This could be a 4/5 album but with this track I could not enjoy it from beginning to end. 3/5

Richard Thompson

The Sun Rises In The East

Neon Bible

Arcade Fire

2/5

Good start, but a boring second thirds. 2/5

The Contino Sessions

Death In Vegas

3/5

Sounds like the soundtrack of Metroid Prime 2 and besides other Metroid soundtracks, I didn't like Prime 2's that much. Two, maybe three stars.

Adele

3/5

Not my kind of music but I can value this album and understand why it is on this list.

Only By The Night

Kings of Leon

2/5

boring

Bringing It All Back Home

Bob Dylan

4/5

The Lexicon Of Love

ABC

2/5

Cheesy 80s pop. Might be good for one song at a party but not a whole album. I don't understand why this is on the list when there are definitely better 80s pop records out there.

Lost In The Dream

The War On Drugs

1/5

Again, why is such an album on the list? If I would not know that this was done by humans, I would say this is generic AI slop. 1/5

Tracy Chapman

2/5

I can understand why this record is on the list. Nonetheless, it's just boring to me.

Unhalfbricking

Fairport Convention

3/5

Quite nice but nothing special 3/5

Hms Fable

Shack

2/5

Don't get me wrong, the music is somewhat okay and not bad. It just does not belong onto this list as it does not offer anything new or special. It's standard pop without any extra. There are definitely better records that are there for the masses to play on the radio. 2/5

G. Love And Special Sauce

At Fillmore East

The Allman Brothers Band

3/5

Not a bad album but live albums are generally not that good as they most often lack the atmosphere that makes live music good. This record especially is basically studio quality with some whoos after each song.
