Reviews (page 13 of 13)
Too repetitive (how many times can a singer use “love” in sentences, line after line) to compensate for the limitations of its recording technology. In other words, this album didn’t age well.
Bit too slow for my taste
Not my favorite. Forgettable. 2.3
Pretty standard mid-60s Atlantic output as far as I can see. There are a few well-known songs on it but, honestly, if I were looking for music like this I'd reach for a Motown Chartbusters compilation.
2.5 for cry to me
Didn't leave a lasting impression
Dat viel me tegen, beetje saai
Helemaal niet vervelend, maar ik kan er ook niet heel veel mee. Was afgelopen voor ik er eigenlijk echt erg in had wat het was waar ik naar aan het luisteren was.
A great voice, let down by pedestrian songs with repetitive arrangements.
eh
Great voice, too slow paced for my taste. Not very catchy tunes
No está entre mis preferidos del soul
I've really loved some of the soul on this list, but this didn't have the same musical interest or *soul* as the others I guess.. I've been giving everything a 3 lately so I'm gonna give this one a 2
Not for me
Good background music but i'm not super into it
Solomonin sielukas ääni oli parempi mitä levyn kappaleet. Mielellään kuunteli, mutta ei nyt sen suurempia tunteita herättänyt. Gospel-tausta näkyy ja kuuluu.
Ihan mukavaa, mutta vähän turhan imelää musaa.
I usually like older music but this just didn't hit as hard
Not fully up my alley, but objectively not bad
Stille soulrock, kærlighedssange, afslappende, ligefrem, simpelt
Great voice but not really my thing

really really old, too old for me. it's not significant enough to deserve more attention from me
Soul and rhythm & blues built from warm horns, gospel-infused arrangements, steady grooves, and commanding vocals feels like being welcomed into a neighborhood gathering where everyone seems genuinely kind, yet the conversations never move beyond familiar small talk. Solomon Burke's expressive voice is consistently impressive, but for me the album's traditional arrangements and well-worn themes made it feel surprisingly boring. The sincerity is never in doubt, yet neither the music nor the songwriting offered enough variation or surprise to keep me engaged.
Gdjdj
Boring
Nah
I am not listening to this
ughh, an endless stream of cheesy love songs
esto solo recomienda rock? porq ya ko quieroooo
stop recommmenidign this to me
Ok
Just not my style, sadly. Not sure why.
not impressed
я не собираюсь это слушать. 1/5
Пьяный бомж, поёт в падике, потому что его выгнала из дома жена.
Gjentakende, masete tekster ikke noe for meg i dag. Helt okei som bakgrunn kanskje
Ilman ymmärrystä levyn historiallisesta merkityksestä ja ajan kulttuurin kokemisesta, jää tämä hyvin mitättömän kuuloiseksi kokonaisuudeksi.
Great singer, but more of that music that has only historical value.
Dreary
1964 No thank you. Heard before ❌️ Listened this time ✅️ until I'd had enough Revisit ❌️ ★☆☆☆☆ (2/10)
Sounds like christmas Little too slow Boring
Eh, of the time. Do not like the references to little girls every other song. Nor that the songs all relate to how good said little girl is or the sexual proweress of the singer lol. Good singer, music good albeit basic and repititive at a certain point. But didnt even finish it because knew was not going to be into the rest of the songs. So one stars.
Ny alkais riittää tää kaipuun unhous ja menetetyn rakkauden palvonta. Voisko joku laulaa välillä viskistä, ruosteesta ja panemisesta....no tän pysty sentään kuuntelemaan vaikka laulu ei vaihtunutkaan
First song slaps then idk meh
Terrible
Overall good but weird vibes and too sad for me
I've never heard of Solomon Burke before, but I tend to like soul music, so I'm hopeful that I'll enjoy this album! Well, unfortunately, I thought this album was pretty boring, and it really missed the mark with me. I thought Solomon Burke's singing was good and that he had a unique and interesting approach to soul music, but I found this album pretty flat and dull. The songwriting wasn't particularly sharp, which wasn't Solomon's fault since he didn't write any of the songs, but I felt like all of these songs followed the borning format of stereotypical late fifties and early sixties R&B and pop. Musically, there wasn't much going on either, and Solomon's vocals just weren't enough to interest me and keep me engaged.
Mix of blues and soul.
Not for me.
Not for me
от альбома несёт нафталином
Not quite.
Same song 12 times. Stop it.
Yeah, this must have been great in the early 60s but it just sounds like something my grandad would have put in the wireless
Nope - sorry 😔
Didn’t hold my attention I’m afraid
Not my cup of tea.
Idk just made me feel weird can’t do the way they talk about women
read the wiki page
Old school vibes. Kinda cheesy. Dont love it.
actually kinda uncomfortable to listen to NNN
I recognized the first song and like it so I thought the rest would be pretty good. But it ended up feeling too sappy and a bit boring to me. It sounds like just another record from this time and isn't soulful enough. Too vintage, too much love, and too weak overall: 1.5
Never heard of Solomon Burke. Rock N Soul is fine for a one time listen but it does little to differentiate itself from the countless 1960s soul albums on this list. I guess I appreciate that he has a little more guitar accompaniment. Otherwise its just another soul album from this time period. 0.80 stars
Dated. Not unique for its time.
No comment
Well that was a quickie… I have a ten minute walk to work and I (skip) listened to the album on the way one morning. Yeah, just not my tunes. And gosh, every single one about one or another way of love, getting it, keeping it, loosing it, finding it, crying about it. You get the picture. It’s just too much, like a 12 song long sugarshocksweet candy bar. Now I need something hardy, like some good growly grind core metal.
Not into this kind of music at all. Suppose it is well enough made and sounds good, but it does nothing for me. 2/10
Not my taste
1. cry to me - 1 2. juzt out of reach - 1 3. goodbye baby - 1 4. if you need me - 1 5. cant nobody love you - 1.5 6. zomeone to love me - 1.5 7. youre good for me - 1 8. one more chance - 0 9. hard aint it hard - 1 10. you cant love em all - 1 11. beautiful brouun eyez - 0 12. hell have to go - 1
2 of 1002. Reminds me of Sam Cooke, Otis Redding, etc. Good vibes and reminds me of music that Hill likes. She had a pretty rough day yesterday. Dealing with chest pains and anxiety. I love her so much. I wish I could take some of the pain away. She's getting better though, and I am always so happy (giddy) to see her.
Sounds very much like old school rock n roll
dreadful
I didn’t know any of the songs and none of them really caught my attention.
I ALREADY RATED THIS YOU IDIOTS
Stink, STANK, STUNK. What was memorable about this? Just a product of its time?
Not amused.
Don’t see the point of this one Cover art 1/5
neeee
Noodly nothingyness, sorry seminal album.
Solomon Burke's soul music LP was released in 1964. It performed well on the charts and seems to be included on this album list because it's specifically soul music, which isn't very common. I didn't think this album had any spark to it - hard pass.
Je voelt de emotie..! Maar persoonlijk houd ik iets meer van up tempo ‘rock ‘n soul’.
Not for me, all a bit samey.
Un peu chiant
Forgettable album. Bad singing from Solomon Burke to his backup singers. 1/10.
Good classic album
