Did not age well. Super sappy & slow

zzzzzz
Way to sappy.
Gar Bage Didn't make it through the whole thing
I like a lot of the Bee Gees disco music, but this album falls flat for me in so many ways. It seems to be almost completely filled with basic unimaginative love songs. The vocals that they are know for don't do much of anything for me on this album. Like I said, it is mostly basic love/breakup songs over basic instrumentation and it was a struggle for me to get through. Can't point to a single song I loved, or even liked really. Favorite Song: "Trafalgar" (I guess)
Wimpy and spineless. I HATE that quivering vibrato style of singing they do on this album (and everywhere else) and the lyrics are appallingly bad and waaaaay-too-earnest. Fuck those bearded brothers. Dicks.
Sólo por la primera canción se merece las 2 estrellas, pero este disco ha sido el primero en aburrirme.
Ughh
While the first song or two were very nice, it soon descended into schmaltzy, Eurovision-y boringness for me.
eehhhhhh... Y s’passe rien, c’est de l’harmonie de vieux country qui tourne en rond. Tout est mou et sans corp. Très, très ennuyeux.
Je sais que la première pièce est un gros hit, mais personnellement je ne suis pas capable. Israel par contre avec son côté plus Elton John est beaucoup plus agréable. It's Just the Way et Walking Back To Waterloo sont vraiment les plus intéressantes selon mes goûts. J'ai l'impression d'avoir entendu la mélodie de Walking samplé sur quelque chose d'autre. Remembering et When Do I sont vraiment mauvaises. Trafalgar a un côté Beatles dans ses harmonies. Effectivement, la guitare dans Don't Wanna Live Inside Myself fait très While My Guitar Gently Weeps. Il y a aussi un petit côté Let It Be. Dearest ne cadre tellement avec le reste de l'album qu'on peut se demander ce qu'elle fait là. Mon écoute est faite et je ne reviendrai pas à cet album.
Dreadful - overwrought, syrupy ballads with dull vocal arrangements.
Never was a fan…and this album really sucks
Abysmal. Overwrought, self indulgent, over long, nails on a scratch board performance - worst album I heard so far. And the writing l? Ooof. When will I get the fun BeeGees? This is terrible.
This is the most annoyingly mediocre piece of forgettable try-hard rubbish I have heard in a long time. Other than having their first US #1 single (How can you mend a broken heart?) for a group that LATER became massive and influential (with a wildly different sound), this does NOTHING to justify its inclusion on a list of must-hear albums. This just makes me question the clear thinking of the list compiler. 47 minutes of my lie that I will never get back. (At least it wasn't the 53 minute version. Thank the lord for small mercies). I am really struggling to get through this. It sounds like everyone involved in the recording was loaded to the gills on valium, mandrax, qualudes or similar. I think it would be a better listening experience if I was similarly sedated.
Best Song: Trafalgar. Nice harmonies. Worst Song: The Greatest Man In The World. Sappy, weepy, corny, with way too much vocal vibrato. Overall: Why did I think the Bee Gees were fun? This was melodramatic, overly serious, and self-important. Should feature as Figure 1 in the textbook on over-singing.
I could have died without listening to this album
It’s literally the same song repeated twelve times! And that song is an absolute dirge. My wife left me! Here are some strings! Tedious beyond belief. How did this get made? I think it might be one of the worst albums I have ever heard.
What a bummer
Not into this at all.
Garbage
I had some slight interest in this being the Bee Gees pre falsetto and disco. That faded after 4 tracks, I couldn't stand any more
Oh god i barely got through the first 30 seconds of this. His nasal voice, just appalling.
Fucking awful
Just didnt work for me
I’m just trying and I’m sorry 😢 I’m sorry 😢 I’m not a fan and it’s a very difficult 😣 and it’s a hard time being in love 🥰 but it’s not that difficult 😞 and it’s hard when I can just say I’m so sad 😞 and it’s okay 👍 and you have no idea 🤷 and I’m glad 😌 and thank goodness 😅 and thank goodness for the drugs.
