| Months after its release I still very frequently play the album. This one is Will in true great form. Love it. |
| Maria Mena Growing pains | 4.0 |
| Once again a great album from Maria. The hard beats from her last album Weapon In Mind are tuned down a bit, making this album a more natural transition between Weapon In Mind and its predecessor Viktoria. Highlights are the gospel infused opener Good God, Leaving You and Confess.rWarning: this is a breakup album, so if you're not into those themes, please avoid this one. |
| The Common Linnets II | 3.5 |
| Dave Gahan and the Soulsavers Angels and Ghosts | 2.5 |
| Trijntje Oosterhuis Walk along | 4.0 |
| Trijntje worked with Anouk again on this album. The songs themselves feel more live and hint more towards the soul roots of Trijntje (or Traincha as she's known in foreign countries) than on Wrecks we adore. This album deserves a lot of followers, because of the songs which Anouk wrote and the vocal qualities of Trijntje. Don't care for the title track though, which was the Dutch submission for the Eurovision Song Contest 2015. |
| The Common Linnets The Common Linnets | 3.5 |
| Anouk Symphonica in rosso | 4.5 |
| The concert itself was great. Anouk and her 'regular' swedish co-writers did a great job in choosing the songs and arranging them for the inclusion of the orchestra. The rating would have been a 5, if only the feeling I got being at the concert would have translated completely in the recordings. Unfortunately for instance the highlight of the concert (For bitter or worse) loses a bit of impact due to the lack of depth in the recording, especially when the orchestra is in full war mode. Stil, a superb album. |
| Anouk Paradise and back again | 3.0 |
| Anouk returns with a collection of seperate songs. She just felt like she should release the songs, even though they didn't necesarily fit together. The album is highly enjoyable. Highlights are 'Daddy', 'Last goodbye' and 'Wish he could see it all'.rThe bonus tracks (the last four) are so so. The lead single 'Places to go' is a good song, but becomes a bit dull after listening to it more. The other tracks are mediocre at best, which brings down my rating with at least half a point. |
| Martin Gore MG | 3.5 |
| Being a long time fan of the instrumentals MG penned for DM (love all the acronyms), I have been a bit disappointed with the instrumentals from the last couple of DM-albums. And now Martin comes up with an entire instrumentals album. I must say the first few listenening sessions make me hopeful I will grow into the album, allthough I don't have an instant feeling of 'classic' with any of the songs. Perhaps hearing Brink more will change that. |
| Goldfrapp Black Cherry | 3.0 |
| Taylor Swift 1989 | 4.5 |
| More listening sessions in, I'm even more impressed. So I had to add an extra 0.5. |
| Justin Timberlake The 20/20 Experience | 3.0 |
| Maria Mena Weapon In Mind | 4.0 |
| Another excellent Maria Mena output. I don't care for 'You make me feel good' and 'Fuck you' is getting a bit tiresome, but the rest is still highly enjoyable. |
| Stromae Racine Carrée | 3.5 |
| Even if only for Formidable, people should try this album out. |
| Goldfrapp Felt Mountain | 4.0 |
| Goldfrapp Tales Of Us | 4.5 |
| After giving it more time I have to up the rating. This is as supers as Felt Mountain, if not better. |

| Pet Shop Boys Pop Art Mix | 3.5 |
| The Pop and Art discs contain a rich cross-section of their singles up until 2003. Too bad the Mix disc is not that impressive. |
| Anouk Sad Singalong Songs | 4.5 |
| Anouk is one of those rare artists that can change her style whenever she wants, but still manages to release something superb. Why people still consider her a rock chick is beyond me, as her last 3 albums are not rock at all. But this one is as far away from rock as possible for a pop album. It consists of 10 symphonic songs. And yes: 'Birds', her contribution to this years Eurovision Songcontest, is there as well. For all you disbelievers: sometimes this contest does yield some very beautiful songs. This is by far the best thing the contest has given us this millenium. Check out this great album! |
| Urban Dance Squad Mental Floss for the Globe | 4.5 |
| Editors In This Light and On This Evening | 3.5 |
| Depeche Mode Delta Machine | 4.5 |

| Jeez, I can't believe I rated it the lowest of all raters up until now. It is an excellent box set, but it all seems a bit to much. Thank God for Spotify and random play. That's the only way I seem to be able to get a good sample of the album each time I want me some Blur . |

| It sounds a lot like a Disney medley, but the lucious arrangements combined with great choir-like vocals and the heavenly voice of Karen Carpenter make this one of the best Christmas albums of all time.rThis release contains both Carpenters Christmas albums. Disc 1 contains more of the 'traditional' Christmas songs, whereas disc 2 is more of a concept album containing lots of classical influences combined with some jazz arrangements. |

| Sugababes Sweet 7 | 2.0 |
| Oh no, they've lost it. Somehow they (the band or the management) wanted to jump on the Kesha/Lady Gaga bandwagon and missed it completely. Lead single Get Sexy was good, but everything else on this album misses everything the Sugababes were great at. No big vocals, no great harmony, no ummmph to the music. |
| Sugababes Three | 3.5 |
| Great continuation of the succes the Sugababes had with Angels with dirty faces. The combination of up-tempo songs and ballads (Maya is fantastic) works very well. Somehow the Sugababes always seem to be able to bring something extra to the term girl-band and delivering albums and singles the have something special to them. |
| Sugababes One Touch | 3.5 |
| Even when you should only consider the fantastic single Overload, this album is great. Remember the original members of the Sugababes were only 15 and 16 back then and did contribute to the songs already. Plus: they could actually sing and harmonize. |

| Sugababes Catfights and spotlights | 4.5 |
| Absolutely superb album with the best song they ever recorded (Can we call a truce). The only reason it is not excellent is the bonus track 'Like a star', which is horrible. |
| Sugababes Overloaded: The Singles Collection | 4.0 |
| Somehow the Sugababes are able to produce a string of great singles, without falling into the trap of repeating themselves or sounding to modern to be out within 6 months. If only they could have continued this line after the amazing Catfights & Spotlights. |
| Deftones White Pony | 3.5 |
| Einsturzende Neubauten Strategies Against Architecture III | 4.5 |
| The EN-album I keep getting back to, coming from the area I liked them best. This compilation contains some of their best songs like 'Die Interimsliebenden', live/alternative versions (Blume, French version) and soundscapes like Installation Nr. 1. |
| Einsturzende Neubauten Strategies Against Architecture II | 3.0 |
| Not their best compilation, but it is still highly enjoyable and recommended to get to know the Neubauten better. |

| This is a good first album, but somehow I always get a bit turned of when listening to it in total. I can't explain why, though. Perhaps I should have listened to it when the album was released, to like it more. |
| Alison Moyet Hoodoo | 4.0 |
| Alison finds her true form on this album. Songs like My Right A.R.M., This House and Wishing You Were Here still give me shivers. And the more upbeat songs aren't far behind. |

| A logical next step after the transition she made on album 'The great escape'. Ilse really finds her form on this album. Lots of great songs, with the centerpiece 'Adrift' as the absolute highlight. |
| Ilse DeLange The Great Escape | 4.0 |
| The country is gone and all of a sudden she appeals to my taste. Listen to beautiful songs like 'The great escape' and 'Don't you let go of me' and be amazed. |
| Ilse DeLange Livin on Love | 2.5 |
| She is big in the Netherlands, but this is album is far too much country for my taste. |
| Will Young The Hits | 4.0 |
| Twelve singles and two new songs, which give an excellent overview of Will's single-career up until 2009. Use it to get familiar with his style and voice and then check out his albums. |
| Will Young Let It Go | 4.5 |
| The big fourth album, which can stand the comparison with the fourth albums from George Michael (Older) and Pet Shop Boys (Behaviour). Mostly minor key songs about lost love. Superb! |
| Will Young Keep On | 3.5 |
| Will finds his form on this album. Another transition album, after his first change from Pop Idol winner to the second album 'Friday's Child'. |
| Will Young From Now On | 2.5 |
| This is a typical first album from any Idols or X-Factor winner, with the exception of the fantastic 'You and I'. |

| A great collection of singles (cd 1) and remixes (cd 2) of one of the best EBM bands that came from the 80's. |
| Recoil Selected (Limited Edition) | 4.5 |
| Great collection with the choices from Alan Wilder himself. Special attention should be given to disc 2, which contains a coherent set of remixes from Recoil. It shows that Recoil is very much a vehicle for soundscapes, much more that it is a song driven project. |
| Dave Gahan Hourglass | 3.5 |
| Agree with everything Kaleid said in the review. This one is far better that Paper Monsters and shows the growth of Dave as a writer (allthough he co-writes the songs with Andrew Philpott and Christian Eigner) and in his sense of direction. I'm not that big on Deeper and Deeper, though. |
| Dave Gahan Paper Monsters | 2.5 |
| The album is lacking structure and vision. Some songs do work great, but that's about it. If Dave wasn't the frontman of DM, I wouldn't have known about this one at all. |

| Kylie Minogue Aphrodite Les Folies - Live in London | 3.5 |
| Whether you like her or hate her, you must admit this is the thing she does best. I really like the rock version of Can't Get You Out of My Head. |

| Recoil 1+2 | 3.5 |
| Recoil Hydrology | 3.5 |
| Recoil Unsound Methods | 4.5 |
| Spoken word meets doomy soundscapes. Superb album from the former musical wizard of Depeche Mode. |
| Recoil Bloodline | 4.5 |
| The Recoil album I still listen too over and over again, allthough it is a bit too divers (ranging from Bukka White to Moby, via Toni Halliday from Curve). |

| David Bowie The Platinum Collection | 4.5 |
| Bowie rules and this compilation shows why. Great 3-disk overview of his work until ca. the mid 80's. |
| Trijntje Oosterhuis We’ve Only Just Begun | 3.5 |
| Pet Shop Boys Behaviour | 4.0 |
| The Cure Disintegration | 4.5 |
| Will Young Echoes | 4.0 |
| Will reinvents himself with the help of Richard X. Superb dance beats with the magnificent voice of Will. |
| Maria Mena Viktoria | 4.5 |
| Maria rules, that's all I can say. Even if only for the excellent duet Habits, you should get this album if you're into female vocalists that need some profound listening before you get it. Don't be fooled by the first two songs, though. They can appear somewhat lightweighted at first, but from song 3 Maria hits you in the face hard. |
| Will Young Friday's Child | 3.5 |
| Depeche Mode The Singles 81→85 | 4.0 |
| Depeche Mode The Best Of - Volume I | 3.5 |
| Depeche Mode Remixes 81–04 | 4.0 |
| Depeche Mode The Singles 86–98 | 4.5 |
| From the three singles from Black Celebration to the four from the highly underrated Ultra and the new 'Only when I loose myself', it contains a constant string of fantastic songs, which represent the commercial and (according to many) artistical highlight years of DM. |
| Depeche Mode 101 | 4.0 |
| Depeche Mode Speak & Spell | 3.0 |
| Depeche Mode Construction Time Again | 3.5 |
| Depeche Mode Some Great Reward | 3.5 |
| Depeche Mode Music for the Masses | 3.5 |
| Depeche Mode Songs of Faith and Devotion | 4.0 |
| Depeche Mode Ultra | 4.5 |
| This album deserves far more credit than it gets. As stated by others, it is nothing short of a miracle that the album is created anyway, since they only wanted to try and record a couple of songs for a greatest hits/singles compilation. Every time I listen to it (which is quite often and far more than a lot of other DM-albums) it still moves me. Highlights are Home (of course), It's no good, Barrel of a gun and Insight. |

| Depeche Mode Remixes 2: 81-11 | 4.5 |
| Love, love, LOVE most of the remixes. The big difference from Remixes 1 is the fact that this 3 cd-box contains 14 new remixes, including remixes from former members Alan Wilder and Vince Clark. |
| Depeche Mode Black Celebration | 5.0 |
