I'll admit it--I snoozed on this album the day this system presented it to me. Listening now, a day later, and I have to say it's great. Classic singer-songwriter music, but with surprisingly wide-ranging influences and overall a really fun listen.
A bit surprised by this one, but I loved it. Very close to a five but the middle was weaker than the start and finish. Still an album I would absolutely come back to Saved: Run, Baby, Run; Leaving Las Vegas; I Shall Believe
I think Sheryl Crow is under-rated as a singer/songwriter. Vocally, she's like a perfect combination of all 90's female vocalists - Gwen Stefani, Shania Twain, that lady from Garbage - but still uniquely her own. On the songwriting front, her stuff is still "poppy" and accessible, but not cookie-cutter or predictable. It's too bad Run, Baby, Run isn't more well-known. It's a great tune. Also, this brought back memories of playing "All I Wanna Do" on my bass guitar - one of the first things I taught myself how to play.
Le nom de cet album tombe à pique puisque je voulais justement aborder un sujet qui crée des sueurs froides à Robert en ce moment. Vous avez sans doute remarqué que je participe depuis quelques semaines à des soirées karaoké (j'ai d'ailleurs gagné la dernière et remporté la somme de cinquante euros en bons d'achat). Si l'ambiance y est évidemment excellente, un énorme problème se pose : le septième commandement de Robert (« 7. Tu n'écouteras les albums qu'après leur génération, quand bien même tu les connaîtrais déjà ») est soumis à rude épreuve pour ne pas dire totalement violé à chaque fois dans la mesure où de nombreux tubes encore non-générés parviennent chaque semaine à mes oreilles. Robert m'appela donc ce jeudi matin pour me demander des explications et pour la première fois, je décidai de lui tenir tête ; hors de question pour moi de renoncer à ces soirées. Robert a d'ores et déjà annoncé vouloir m'appliquer des sanctions et projette dans un premier temps de geler mon enceinte JBL, je vous tiendrai au courant de la suite des évènements.
I had always associated Deep Purple with smoke on the water and a simple uninspired sound, but I was very wrong. They definitely listened to some Hendrix before writing this album because I can see a lot of the influence. Really enjoyed the synths throughout the record. I also like how the vocals feel like an instrument harmonizing with the rest of the band, rather than overpowering the whole song.
I've loved this album since hearing Strong Enough when I was 12. A masterpiece. She never came close to this again.
Saved Prior: None Off Rip: Run Baby Run, Leaving Las Vegas, Solidify, The Na-Na Song, Wha Can I Do For You Cutting Edge: Strong Enough, Can't Cry Anymore Overall Notes: Actually liked this one a good bit. Kinda felt like junk food in comparison to the other albums we've been listening to in that it didn't take that much focus to enjoy, but still pretty good.
A great album! She's basically the female tom petty. A liberating and sometimes heartfelt album.
Más allá de que el disco es de 1993, ella en mi cabeza es muy representación de los 90s. Tengo taladrado en el hipotálamo 'Soak Up The Son' (video de ella tocando la guitarra en la playa con surfers. Esa información ridícula que mi cerebro recuerda). Ese tema no está en este disco pero es el que más recuerdo de ella, obvio que está su versión (muy buena) de 'Sweet Child O' Mine' y el mega mega meeeeeeeega hitero "All I Wanna Do'. El tema que más me gusta el disco es 'We Do What We Can'. Buena letra y lindo quilombo sonoro. El disco es un círculo perfecto. ¿Lo escucharía nuevamente? Probablemente no pero 'All I Wanna Do' si aparece en la radio, te la canto a los gritos. 8 de 10 ludomatics.
Opening track has some biiiiiiiig Sara Bareilles energy. Strong Enough is a certified banger. Its really interesting to hear her in her release. So much of her sonic landscape feels so different from what it would become. The country elements are there, but its such a pop record. All I Wanna Do is also certified banger status for good reason. We Do What We Can really sticks out on this album. In general a solid album with a set of weird closers.
This is an almost perfect record. I'm giving it a 4. It isn't top notch like the handful of records I'll likely be rating as a 5 here. But it represents a moment, after Grunge brought authentic (no gated snare drums) pop-rock back into the collective consciousness. So, records like this and Counting Crows, Gin Blossoms, etc. were able to thrive in all their organic and human glory. I love Sheryl Crow's voice and had a crush on her because of this record. My sister bought the CD. I stole it from her along with No Doubt's Tragic Kingdom. For sure, Sheryl Crow was important for opening my eyes to how much prettier music can be when there is a femal vocalist. Why she had to work with Kid Rock later on, I'll never know. That's too bad. Her song on the Cars soundtrack is good too.
Solid. There's a handful of great songs on here, the rest are just OK. Only one or two that I legitimately didn't like.
Sheryl Crow has lovely, soothing voice and casual style that is really attractive. I like the hits and most of the other songs on this album. 3.5 and rounding up.
Oh did I feel all 1990's dancing in the morning spring sun to this. Hadn't listened to the album for 20+ years so needed reminding Sheryl is far more than a one hit wonder. Some great tunes here.
4/13/22 I was more excited for this than was actually realized. My expectations let me down and maybe that’s my fault, but I just wasn’t impressed. The two songs I know I enjoyed but other than those, I don’t really love Sheryl Crow. Favorite song: All I Wanna Do
Listened to on 4/13/22 4/5 Favorite song: Strong Enough, All I Wanna Do Solid bops would recommend
Well I wasn't expecting to like this as much as I did. Some duds but overall pretty surprisingly good. Like 3.75 stars probably.
It's listenable and has some good moments there and there but overall it feels like generic American pop rock shit. Lyrics are very uninteresting imo.
Yeah just straight up rock n roll, even if it's kinda lame. This is where it's at. 3/5.
The kinda tacky cover made me nervous, but it was pretty good, actually! I think I liked it better than her second album. Some weaker numbers (mostly the ballads that kinda drag), but for the most part straight bops. My favourites were “Leaving Las Vegas,” the Wendy & Lisa-ish “Solidify,” and “All I Wanna Do.”
"Solidify" is a great song. I realize that "Wow this sounds neat and was made a while ago" is both getting old and isn't particularly true for a '90s album, but wow this sounds neat and was made a while ago. Very mature-sounding for a debut, probably due to the backstory: Tapping into an existing collaborative group of musicians plus having scrapped a debut already. Not exactly cohesive, but very good. Stuck between whether this is a 3 3.5 or a 4 3.5. As I tend to do when rating just about anything. Heh.
Decent album, just nothing really memorable about it and the big singles aren't that great in my opinion
Disappointing. Like some songs, but a few stinkers on there (e.g. na-na song). All I wanna do is great though. 2.7
Some good Sheryl Crow. Poetic and her storytelling is very evident/present in each song. A good mixture of melancholy and upbeat songs. It is missing some more melodic singing but I can appreciate the journey being conveyed here. Overall a decent enough album .
Great pop album from the 90s. It contains one of my favorite pop songs of all times: "All I Wanna Do". However, I've only listened to it in full a few times. Might return later on to it.
decent album, not quite my type of music but not too bad of an album with a few songs that werent too bad but overall not something i would listen to out of my own doing
Well. Wanted to like this. I love her voice and her popular songs are catchy as shit, but the rest of the album was just, meh. Wasn’t really wowed, but also didn’t hate it. Just, MEH
Sheryl's voice doesn't half strain when she tries giving it some. A decent variety of tunes though. Best track: The Na-Na Song.
Never been much of a fan. It's okay I guess. I knew some songs. Rest just kind of in the background.
Same with Sheryl as some others, not really listened to her. Let's give it a go. "Run, Baby, Run" odd start for an album to me. This seems more like a mid-album song. I can tell this is a 90s album. That's not necessarily a bad thing. Ahhhh I know "All I Wanna Do." Again, it was alright. Probably give a 3 star.
She has a nice voice that I like the sound off. It's a good mix of Ballards and pop songs. Enjoyable listen.
not a fan of this type of music in general but such a good throwback nonetheless. the songs are too long tho 6/10
Vaikka fiilistely ja levyn iskukyky jäi matalalle, niin tasalaadukas kokonaisuus silti miellytti
surprisingly really enjoyed this album. thought Leaving Las Vegas and Strong Enough back to back was really great. I always forget that Sheryl Crow is older than you think (was in her 30s in the early 90s) - which makes some of the references to the 60s in the songs make a lot more sense.
Someone had this when I was a child, I'm guessing a cousin, but I would have to ask, I remember hearing it from start to finish and actually enjoying it. I preffer this loud clear mixing than the lame all at the same volume from the 80's. I really like "all I wanna do"
Better than expected, I think. I slept on Sheryl Crow when she was super popular but this album did change my mind on it.
Sheryl’s got some hits, some songs with lots of sing-a-long-ability. But as an artist she just doesn’t resonate with me or evoke any powerful feelings. She evokes mediocre feelings at best. No catharsis, some fun. That’s it. And what is with the name of this album?? It’s so hokey.
Tuesday Night Music Club has a very familiar sound and voice where it takes you back to an earlier time. Although most of the songs on the album don't really live up to "All I Wanna Do", overall it's an ok listen. Best: All I Wanna Do Worst: No One Said It Would Be Easy
I had a predisposition to not like this - sure I've heard the singles which were fine - but I remember reading an article a few years after its release about how Crow was either claiming exclusive songwriting or dismissing others' contributions to it. I realize that should have nothing to do with enjoying an album or not :D but it kinda does... (anyways it's all disputed anyways so who tf cares) but Sheryl is starting from behind the blocks already as I put this on... But ok I admit this first song "Run, Baby, Run" is great - some really nice subtly-different chord changes; probably ends up being my favourite song on the album. After that it's fine - I went back and forth almost within each song. Sometimes her voice is a little shrill and hard to take, other times I really like it. The music is varied and put together really well but for me overall it's just "nice" - probably deserves more than a 3 and I could see people loving it (could i equivocate more?) - ok summing up with: "worth a listen". 7/10 3 stars
she has a good voice! her music was a little too slow and mellow for me but it was pretty.
A soulful and playful album, the only issues I found with it were the occasional edge Crow puts on her vocals and sameness throughout the album.
Mediocre but not as terrible as I feared it would be. I'd give it a 2.5 but 3/5 is close enough.
Mischung aus Pop, Folk, Rock. Eingängig aber langweilig. Würde am liebsten 2.5 geben. Ich bin gnädig und gebe mal 3.
Un album bien américain, construit dans le but de faire pleurer dans les chaumières des ménagères quarantenaires du pays de l'oncle Sam. Ce n'est donc absolument pas surprenant de voir mon compère ropvipère lui accorder la note de 4/5, lui ayant une fragilité et une émotivité au-dessus de la moyenne. En effet, rob en vient aux larmes très rapidement, ce qui le rend attachant mais également extrêmement irritant. Dernièrement par exemple, je disais à rob qu'il en faisait peu être un peu trop sur le dernier album des Who. rob se mit alors à fondre en sanglots, laissant un "Mais pourquoi tu dis ça?" sortir de sa bouche. Pour ma part, je n'accorde à cet album que la note de 3/5.
Surprisingly good album. Many many influences that made the album more exciting. (6/10) FT: Run, Baby, Run, No One Said It Would Be Easy, I Shall Believe
It wasn't bad, but it has some weak points. And I can't stand the na-na song or whatever it's called.
Better music than what I associate Sheryl Crow with, but you can definitely see how she'll morph further into cheesy 'heartland rock' type stuff. It's a 3.5 for me, maybe even 3.75 but I can't quite bring myself to give a 4.
Not a great album, not bad but by any means, but 'All I Wanna Do' was one of the songs all over the radio when I was living in America in the 90's and is tied really strongly to good childhood memories so a definite nostalgia bump
When the songs from Tuesday Night Music Club were on the radio, I was trying to decide if I like Sheryl Crow or not. Four of the eleven tracks from this album are familiar, but I'm pretty sure I've listened to the whole album at least once as I tried to figure out if I like Crow or not. I listened again, and I'm still not convinced. Crow is talented, but the music doesn't call out for attention from me. The singles from this album (excluding "Run Baby Run") got a slightly higher rating. I did not like "The Na-Na Song". The album as a whole lands squarely on 3 stars. Meh.
Really enjoyed the first few songs and thought we may be on course for an unexpected four stars. The quality dropped off quite a bit so I think a three is probably fair ...
Sheryl has a nice voice and you probably have to have been living under a rock not to know her hits. The upbeat poppy tunes are fun and easy to listen to, but the sad and slow tunes are a miss for me. Overall it was alright, I liked the opening tracks and All I Wanna Do is a good tune, otherwise fairly unremarkable singer-songwriter fare.
“Excuse me, record company executive, sir - I’m a young artist and I’d like to know how to make a record whose songs will be played over grocery store PA systems for the rest of all time.” *Record Executive hands young artist a copy of Tuesday Night Music Club* End Scene.
I have tried listening to Sheryl Crow before and feel that I ought to like her. I gave this a good go, but just came, yet again, to the conclusion that I don't.
Mai m'ha entusiasmat la seva música. Té algunes cançons que formen part de la cultura popular, com el Run baby run amb què comença aquest àlbum. Però escoltar un disc sencer se'm fa pesat, tot i que s'ha de reconèixer que la majoria de temes estan ben construits.
Sheryl was nooit een van mijn favoriete, ook gisteren niet. Het is niet slecht, maar vooral een beetje saai.
Ok, het is officieel... ik heb vrijwel het gehele album van Sheryl geluisterd. Verdween al snel naar de achtergrond.
Perfectly serviceable soft rock/country album. Lovely voice. Best song: I Shall Believe
'Leaving Las Vegas' is a great tune but for the most part I could not relate to the emotion Crow was trying to convey. Cool album cover though.
Good voice. Cool guitar in a few songs. Solidify was not very good. Didn’t mind the rest.
ALL I WANNA DO IS HAVE SOME FUUUUUN I GOT THE FEEEELING IM NOT THE ONLY ONE. Tema mega pegadizo que suena en un auto un sábado soleado. Me gustó este album que me funcionó como palette cleanser del que tocó ayer. De todas formas, hubo 2 temas solamente que me llamaron la atención: ese y Run Baby Run. 2/5
Que dificil me es escuchar Sheryl Crow, no porque sea mala sino porque lo que hace jamas resonó en mi. Me suena a musica que deberia sonar bajito en la barra de un var medio vacio mientras lloras porque esa hija de puta te dejo por otro. Me gusta mucho como el organo acompaña de fondo en casi todos los temas. No termino de identificar que genero seria. Como un country medio comercial devenido en pop? Me suena a la antesala a lo que fue John Mayer en Born and Raised. Tambien escucho muchas cosas que despues aparecieron en el album Music de Madonna. Será que esto influenció todo eso? Regardless, todo esta muy en linea de lo que se escuchaba en esa epoca, casi que pasa por un disco de Natalie Umbriglia. Las letras son muy lindas, tambien de la epoca. Can't cry anymore parece escrita por Tom Petty directamente, como punto a favor. Acá nacio la musica para cafeterias? Claramente el disco es bueno, pero no lo escucharia seguido.
Ero sempre stato convinto che gli anni '80 fossero gli anni musicalmente più distanti dai miei gusti, ma questa avventura con 1001 mi sta insegnando che probabilmente gli anni '90 sono peggio (soprattutto per le sonorità più commerciali). Io raramente ho dei problemi con le voci, ma per me su questo album di esordio Sheryl Crow canta oggettivamente male. In alcuni momenti, principalmente su Leaving Las Vegas, mi sono sentito in imbarazzo per lei. Ho letto poi che aveva problemi alla voce in questo periodo perché fumava come una ciminiera: non stento a crederlo. È un peccato perché alcuni arrangiamenti mi hanno colpito, come Strong Enough, ma i pezzi in generale sembrano un minestrone senza un'idea chiara artistica, un po' nello spirito del "''ndo cojo, cojo". Comunque ha funzionato perché è diventata decisamente una star e pare abbia pure aggiustato il tiro con la voce. Non l'ho odiato (Sheryl a tratti sì), certi pezzi li ho anche apprezzati, ma altri li ho detestati quindi è difficile farsi un'idea. Direi poco più di 2.
Questo è uno di quegli album che oggi lo ascolti e domani lo scordi. Non mi ha lasciato assolutamente nulla. Qual era il messaggio che voleva trasmetterci? Nemmeno lei lo sa. Ho trovato l'arrangiamento di Strong Enough interessante, ma tutto il resto mi ha annoiato. Cantante da falò. 2
Mä vaan haluisin pitää hauskaa ja musta tuntuu etten mä ole ainoa joka ei siinä tällä levyllä onnistu....
Sheryl Crow was to 90s girl pop/rock what Sarah McLachlan is/was to the SPCA, except one is very meaningful in spite of the depression. California/beach/sunny rock/pop or however one can describe this album is okay at best. If this were reviewed in 1993 and not 2021, the opinion would likely be way more positive. However, if one believes that music should in some way transcend the era in which it was released and remain a positive nostalgic experience, then Tuesday Night Music Club might leave you disappointed. All this listener wants to do is try to move on till the sun comes down and a new album is generated.
Really nothing remarkable about this album at all. I thought I would maybe like it more than I did. Nothing more than top 40 background music. 1.5/5
Genre: Pop Rock 2/5 Well, here it is: the first real stinker. I’m interested to read the blurb in the book for this one, because there was nothing truly redeemable here at all. This was almost as stale and formulaic as a pop rock album could possibly be, mixed in with some absolutely bizarre production choices. All I Wanna Do is a fine song, but sandwiched in between cuts like Solidify, The Na-Na Song, and We Do What We Can… I shiver at the thought of listening to these again. Skip this one, if you haven’t already.
Some perfectly boring and forgettable singer/songwriter pop-rock. Not unpleasant, but it was a snooze.
OK, gros préjugé défavorable envers l'artiste en commençant. J'ai écouté l'album avec ma plus grande ouverture d'esprit. La première pièce m'a sérieusement ennuyée et le mix n'est pas bon. Ça s'arrange un peu à Can't Cry Anymore où je me suis surpris à taper du pied. Le mix semble beaucoup mieux à partir de Solidify. L'ambiance de The Na-Na Song est cool et on a l'impression d'entrer en studio alors que les musiciens jamment la pièce. J'aime cet effet. Les balades sont moins intéressantes sauf pour We Do What We Can, mais à la base j'ai de la difficulté avec les balades. Tout le monde connaît All I Wanna Do et la chanson est efficace. Donc en gros, Sheryl Crow a une voix intéressante, mais les choix musicaux me sont pas toujours intéressant. Écoute beaucoup moins désagréable qu'attendu au départ.
Ouf encore... Le ratio: bon album/découverte vs "ç'pas pour rien que ça m'a jamais intéressé" est pas full bon... Je l'ai écouté quand même. Je connaissais plus de toune que je pensais. Prod bien faite, tout est là mais ça lève pas ben ben. Je vois pas en quoi je devais écouter cet album dans ma vie... c'est la naissance du genre adulte contemporain? Espérons que les prochains seront plus surprenant
Didn't care much for the album at all. It seems to be carried by All I Wanna Do but that song isn't my favorite either. Crow's voice is nice but the country-pop style doesn't work. Ballads don't feel sincere especially since I just listened to Adele.
I had avoided this album my whole life, assuming it was garbage. The first track was so good and made me think maybe I had been wrong this whole time. But by the time I got to the song where she raps, I realized my suspicions had been correct.
Worse than being incompetent is being boring. Ten times out of ten I'd prefer to listen to a car crash failure that had some ambition over coolly, competently delivered music that neither stirs the imagination nor gets the blood pumping.
It does not surprise me that Sheryl Crow’s 4th most listened to song on Spotify is from the Cars II soundtrack. That tells me everything I need to know about Sheryl Crow. She is also the same age as my mum. What the fuck?
This is what I’d imagine my wife would listen to if her name was Karen and drank white wine
Music my mom would listen to. There's nothing objectively wrong with it really it's just so decidedly not my thing.
Meh. Nope. 1
