Very skippable. Isaac Hayes sings for about 8 minutes on a 45 minute soul album. I'm happy to stick to his brief tunes as Chef from South Park. 1.10 stars
I am sorry to anyone that loves this kind of music, and/or this album, but I gotta be honest, that's 45 minutes of my life I wish I could have back. There's just zero resonance in my soul/heart for this kind of music. One element I'll give a point for is the use of a Hammond Organ. Sorrrrry.
Just a whole lot of gibberish and not a lot of music.
That’s a bit much. 18:38 of By the Time I get to Phoenix.
A tomar por culo. Ya estoy harto de álbumes mierdosos. Me doy de baja de la lista.
New album for me. Did not hit any of my music job buttons.
Not really up my alley, genre-taste-wise.
Smooth, easy listening, some sexy times music. Didn't love it, 1*. Not about that 18 minute song. 3-5*: albums I actually enjoyed to varying degree.
This just isn't my thing. It doesn't help that there's a 2+ minute monologue on the last track. There are much more developed albums in these genres.
Boring
Favourite Song: Walk On By
Not my favorite, it doesn’t really connect.
Orchestral Sex music. Track 4 has a 9 minute spoken word introduction. Half a point for the cover and the first track, which was also a cover. Hard avoid. 1.0
meh
....mai sentito. Il suo nome non mi dice nulla.
Isaac Hayes. Shaft. Chef from South Park. Chocolate Salty Balls. All of these things occurred before I actually listened to an Isaac Hayes album, which is this one. There's little doubt about his distinctive voice, but soul and r&b are again two genres of music that don't really float my boat. And then you have the fact that there are only four songs on this album, stretched out to the edge of the universe. A 12 minute cover of the pop song "Walk on By" which is... interesting, at least for the first five minutes. And my word, "By the Time I Get to Phoenix" goes for over 18 minutes, and I can tell you the Glen Campbell version certainly does not do that. Is there an actual reason this is the way it is? If you are looking for freeform extended mix get-up-on-stage-and-just-keep-playing-until-you-drop kind of stuff... then I guess this could be for you. This is absolutely nothing like what I was expecting to hear when I put this on. I'm sure there is a reason I "MUST" hear this before I die. I don't know what that reason is though. Boring as batshite.
My husband felt it was cruel to give this 1-star on the basis that it is tedious rather than painful to listen to. But this should be 1001 albums you should listen to before you die, not 1001 albums it is worth tolerating. A strange mix of soul, ruined by a sprinkling of big band. It takes a great song as its first track and makes it terrible. How is that even possible?
A 4 song album, mostly self indulgent. A hot buttered voice but more needed.
Pff erg vervelend. Slechts één nummer de moeite waard. Misschien best muzikaal maar ik wilde het alleen maar uit zetten.
I gave up on the album at the 4+ minute spoken intro to the 18 minute song. Good for smooshing music but too slow for me
Miksi nämä neljä biisiä ovat niin pitkitettyjä ja mahtipontisesti sovitettuja? Siksi että ne on "vedetty tahallaan yli"? Vai siksi että tekijät eivät ole kyenneet säveltämään järkeviä biisejä?
Utterly forgettable
Hated it, twangy intrusive guitar, liked the tone of his voice. Just glad it was short!
One Woman is a fantastic song. The album was okay but not very interesting
Nope
Way too long.
It was just different versions of the same few songs, got tired of it quick.
Not my style. 4 LONG tracks.
Nah. Too souly.
Super over rated
Not my kind of music. Sounds like what is in the title.
mhaaah, beetje druk
Very smooth late-night grooves...not sure about the six-minute spoken intro to the last track though.
Loved it.
