The influence of this album in the history of rock, its great complete tracklist and the group's unique style make this album a memorable project. It has the classic rock touch like on their debut but with harder and more settled riffs, leaving us legendary tracks like Whole Lotta Love or Heartbreaker. Very raw and unique project.

One of the greatest peaks of 70s prog rock! Wonderful, complex but easy-listening compositions, very dynamic soundscapes, virtuoso and amazing arrangements and performances, perfect tracklist and a lot of bright energy. 70s rock soul is reflected on this project, in every single song, piece, interlude or whatever. Tracks that remain to this day and gems that sound like new, this album is legendary, a forever classic!

Simply, Don't Get Too Close is like Quest for Fire but with a lot of more disadvantages and negative points. While QFF is a dynamic, solid and great album, DGTC shows the most commercial, static and boring side of Skrillex. Various levels of quality in the vocals, great production as always but a lot of mid, passable and zzz tracks.

Jamiroquai continues to evolve and his style begins to move towards disco, electronic and more commercial structures, but they still have their personal touch and fusion elements that are just as original as always. A solid album, each track is essential in its own way and among them there are truly memorable anthems (beautiful as Butterfly and Falling, danceable as Canned Heat and WDWGFH or unique as King for a Day).
Regarding their previous albums, I don't see an upward evolution but it's ... read more

Walky drums, slappy boom-bap beats, amazing bars and a lot of flow. 90s hip-hop soul is perfectly reflected on this great project, a project where the music makes you flote through every track as if you were in 90s California.
93 til infinity is an entertaining, very viby and memorable record that deserves more recognition.

Muse start their career with an amazing energy and great tracks, a lot of different influences and styles but all of them united by the apotheosic vocals and instrumentals. They still sounded like other groups and artists, they needed to get the personal touch, but they were heading very well towards what they were looking for, thus offering us a multifaceted project that will not make you bored.

The sound in each moment of each of the tracks feels like a unit itself, a nostalgic, melancholic and dystopian unit. Overwhelming harmonies and melodies, very original and warm production, interesting and well-executed elements and ideas... A particular project, but totally gorgeous.

Compared to their last album, Quaranta feels a little darker and not as eccentric, but just as experimental and fun. The production is great and the tracks are perfectly ordered, creating a very balanced and varied journey where you enjoy each beat and each sample.
Danny is still up there with this album.

There are still good compositions, slappy bases and grooves and incredible performances and arrangements throughout the album. They follow a similar formula but with sounds closer to pop (in some cases) and with the same variety as always. All the tracks are unique in their own style, and as a whole the album ends up being a very stable, interesting, fun and beautiful project.

Another fantastic acid jazz album by Jamiroquai, using a similar but different formula to Emergency on Planet Earth but with more great tracks, ingenious structures and sounds, more variety of styles and moods... Jay, Stuart, Toby and company in its peak.

Eminem suffers a sudden drop in quality: the beats are much more boring (and are not as legendary as his previous ones) the lyrics do not completely accompany them and this creates a very static tracklist. It is based on a darker and harsher style, but the final product has neither of these.
Also, there are many tracks that are left over, others that could have been better but not and some that save the album a bit, but in general this is Marshall's first musical crisis.

One of the best and well-composed examples of the 90's new wave of acid jazz and funk! Jamiroquai were being born and start their career with a spectacular, complete, nostalgic and colorful project with great production and well-developed ideas. Both the harmonies and voicings of the keyboards, the bass lines of Zender and the powerful and perfect melodies of Jay Kay make these tracks immortal.

Very admirable and interesting sampling works, some of the most slappy and walking beats in the 90's and lyrics perfectly adapted to them. You can feel the fresh touch of jazz and funk in the samples and where this genre was now heading: towards jazz rap. The best representation of this genre in one of the best projects of the decade and of the genre.

A beautiful and expressive work of art by Ohzora, where the music shows an evolution and a sound journey through the emotions and lyrics of the composer, accompanied by incredible production, original instrumentation and a lot of diversity of colors and soundscapes. This album, like his other future album from the same year, are the two most underrated and ignored gems of this year, how unfair!

The decade begins and a new movement emerges, acid jazz, which took up the sound and ideas of funk, r&b and jazz of the 70s and then elegantized and modernized them, thus making them fashionable again. Brand New Heavies were among the first to make way for this trend and in a spectacular way, creating fusions and really good tracks that would help other emerging groups to immerse themselves in this new genre. Good riffs, structures, melodies, sound and production, this is the Brand New ... read more

Another perfect album by the harmony and keys master, Stevie Wonder. 9 tracks = 9 masterpieces perfectly enjoyable, danceable and studyable, very well performed and interpenetrated ones with the others. The production doesn't fall short, as does the heart that Stevie puts into the lyrics (both energetic and melancholic).
It's just an immortal, gorgeous and admirable tracklist.

An interesting tracklist but not very varied, with the same energy as their previous album but with beats that are not so mythical but just as experimental and devastating. Death Grips stays in their line, but you could see from afar that surpassing The Money Store was too complicated, even so they release a great album.

This second volume of Ambient Works by Aphex is much more atmospheric, relaxing but least innovative than his previous, but is unique in his own way. Sometimes the samples, pads and pianos create quite creepy environments, sometimes they are simply very relaxing... It's very cool in its own way, very long but perfect to put in the background, not much else.

I can't believe how forgotten this gem is in AOTY, this great debut from one of the best Latin jazz performers in history! Each composition is attractive in its own way and the 3 musicians complement each other so perfectly that they seem like one. There is not a second of this project that is not enjoyed, and to think that it was the simple beginning of this legend.
Amazing, one of the greatest in Latin jazz!

An album with much higher quality than its previous one, more established tracks with characteristic riffs and elements, a lot of energy and beautiful lyrics and harmonies. My chemical romance continue with their personal style but using a greater variety of ideas and better production, creating an explosive and legendary album within the genre.
