nah
Huge on release, pales over time.
When I first heard Leaving Las Vegas on the radio back in 1994 I knew I’d have to get this CD. I didn’t care that much for All I Wanna Do, but this sounded different and way more interesting to me. And I loved so many of the other songs once I listened all the way through. The first five songs were total bangers in my book, and the rest are all decent too. Listening today after so many years I was brought back to that time in my mind, and totally enjoyed this experience. The back half of the album is still weaker to me, but not bad at all. I don’t think this is her best album (her self titled and The Globe Sessions are superior for me) but I was glad to see it on the list.
Listened to two songs, and her singing is not making me happy.
Surprisingly good. I'd always assumed all of Sheryl Crow's work was more country-leaning I guess. Quite a few good pop/moody tracks.
Deserves to be on the list. Very much not aimed at me. Too smug and aloof from pop
Är det tillräckligt bra för en fyra. På gränsen igen. Det är rätt bra bitvis men inte på ett wow-sätt. Det är nog i slutändan habilt. Känner inget behov av att lyssna mer. Vilket för mig blir strax under fyran!
Tyckte den började riktigt bra (fyra första låtarna), för att därefter bli rätt anonym. Av de sista sju låtarna är förstås All I wanna do en klassiker (som jag dock aldrig varit ett jättefan av) och jag tyckte även att sista låten var bra. Pendlar mellan trea och fyra i betyg. Gillade trots allt sex av elva låtar så får bli en svag fyra.
Forgot how amazing Sheryl Crow is. I need to find this one on vinyl. Objectively it's probably on a 4 star album, but nostalgia is pushing it to 5 stars for me. I'll be adding "All I Wanna Do" and "Leaving Las Vegas" to the playlist
Solid album. I was 13 when the All I Wanna Do single was released, and I fell in love with Sheryl when I watched that video. The song has been a favorite of mine ever since.
This album hit gen x women like an atomic bomb
I was expecting a commercial, middle of the road, album, but found something a little grittier - more Lucinda Williams vibe. So a pleasant surprise, which I quite enjoyed - Leaving Las Vegas probably my favourite track
This is a pretty record, and it's well produced, with good performances and focused playing and singing.
I liked this more than I expected to
I was expecting something country-ish, but I got a lot of music that seems tailor-made to be played to underscore emotional moments in mid-budget 2000s romcoms or CW shows where the heroine is sad or whatever. The Na-Na Song was a bit more interesting, clearly influenced by Subterranean Homesick Blues. Also, was I the only Brit who thought "Cheryl Cole? What's she doing on this list?" Honestly, after listening, Cheryl has about as much right to be on it.
I dismissed it when it came out, and never listened to it again. The Globe Sessions is a nearly perfect album, so it's surprising to see this one on the list. But this album does deserve a listen, even if it's not the best in her catalog. Four stars.
This music is for someone but that someone is not me
is it country or is it dance music? we may never know. Her voice is slightly punchy in a bad way. the songs have redeeming qualities. pleasant listen!
There were some bangers on this album, beyond the hits I was familiar with.
Why do I feel like I've heard every song on this album? I've never listened to Sheryl Crow in my life. Is she just that prevalent that I recognize her voice immediately?
It’s whatever.
Even my local grocery store plays more interesting music than this nowadays
some great music, but the album itself doesn’t feel coherent
It was kinda boring honestly but I guess I only listened to like 3 songs so that's probably part of it.
Knowing the two massive radio hits primed me with low expectations. But then, suddenly, I didn’t mind it much at all!
Better than Alanis
Didn't dig it.
My first generated album and it’s a classic. Don’t think I’ve listened to it in full since my teens though. There’s more to it than just ‘All I Wanna Do’. It’s emo meets country!
It's fine. Really. Fine
Not bad, not great.
IDK its really basic but, some sort of catchy songs on here, I thought this was one of those washed up country singers, who released stuff a few decades after their heyday, but no, this is her first album. Obviously there's some emotive stuff on here, but it's just not that interesting generally. However the Solidify song is actually really good, perhaps by accident, as the rougher singing style and distorted disco guitars makes it feel quite interesting and experimental, while most of the rest feels quite safe. The elements of country stuff are quite cheesy and outdated, probably why I thought it was washed-up singer. Favourite songs: Solidify, I shall believe (I like the synths on this last one) Overall around 4/10
Pretty good, has some hits you know. But a pretty easy listen.
This album was very pleasant! Lots of fun pop numbers mixed with silky smooth slow jams! Sheryl Crow is right there among Alanis Morrisette, Tori Amos and Fiona Apple as one of the most prominent songstresses of the 90s, and 'Tuesday Night Music Club' is certainly her crowning achievement! Best songs: All I Wanna Do, Leaving Las Vegas, Strong Enough 4/5 I may be a bit sporadic on these reviews over the coming days. Things are going on. I'm working through it. Thanks for understanding.
I just can’t with this 90s Mom rock.
Best Track - "All I Wanna Do"
Great debut.
'She was born in November 1963 / The day Aldous Huxley died.' That'd be Nov 22, the same day JFK was assassinated. Known for brightness, Crow is also a subtle and at times hilarious lyricist, as that snatch evinces, as well as an exasperated realist w/ troubles and questions abounding: 'Well, got a brother / He's got real problems / Heroin - no / There's just no stopping him tonight / And I won't cry anymore.' In that sense, it's pop and it's not, not b/c pop music can't deal w/ dark matters but b/c she negotiates them as Bruce Springsteen or Neil Young might: w/ misdirection and irony that yet doesn't detract from her sincerity. I'm aware that she collaborated w/ other songwriters, but her vocals signify that the lyrics come from her own store.
6/10 - some good 90s country pop
This album is the definition of the word 'okay' it's like no song is great and no song is bad it's just okay.
Some of it was really good. Some of it was annoying and repetitive
I’ll I wonna do is the only recognizable song for me. And the only thing saving the rating from being a 2
Was expecting more of the album to have the "All I wanna Do" vibe, but its a lot more chill. Fine tunes, seems like could be fun to learn and play on guitar too
The title of the album really fits my impression of the music: some nice background music in a club or coffee bar on a Tuesday night. While it really isn't that bad anywhere, the highs just really don't lift it towards anything more than a 2/5.
Sounds like a typical mid 90s pop album. Not bad, but nothing very interesting.
Enjoyable album, the singles hit hard. The rest of the songs, not that much.
Not really for me. All I Wanna Do is listen to something else! 1.5/5
All I Wanna Do, oh das kommt von ihr!?! Alle Stücke auf dem Album sind sehr, sehr hörbar.
This was an important album for me in the past, so it gets an extra star.
This is most decidedly not my jam. Having sung backup for Michael Jackson and Don Henley and a duet with Kenny Loggins, it's unsurprising that she would want to be more real on her debut album, but if she had been a lot more real than reflected on this album she might not have been offered those opportunities with those pop stars. Pass. 1
Not bad! 3/5
Wasn’t sure what to expect here, but I really enjoyed most of this. Obviously I knew The Hit Record, but otherwise have never knowingly heard any of Crow’s music. There’s a nice variety of stuff here, poppy, but a lot of it grounded in American roots styles with some stuff that reminded me of John Mellencamp, Bonnie Raitt, or Jackson Browne. All of which is a good thing. But this isn’t just that sort of music. There’s other stuff going on and ultimately it’s Crow’s music. And that seems pretty good, and in places excellent. And I rather like this. Which was unexpected. A solid 4 stars, pushing 5 at times
One good tune. Rest sh*te.
3.5
4.5
One of my favorite artists of the '90s. She's I've seen her live more than any other major artist, mainly because she keeps showing up at the festivals I go to. Her first three albums are Rock Solid. 9.7 ★★★★½
I like "Run Baby Run", but hate "The No-No Song", the rest is ok. 3.5 stars
*Tuesday Night Music Club* was one of those ubiquitous 90s pop/rock albums, in the same vein as Alanis Morrisette's *Jagged Little Pill *or Hootie and the Blowfish's *Cracked Rear View*. Even if you didn't own it, you probably heard the whole thing due to the record companies milking everything they could from the album. I think this starts off really good -- "Run Baby Run", "Leaving Las Vegas", "Strong Enough", and "Can't Cry Anymore" is a solid run of tracks. From there, it gets a little dicey and there's much filler from there on out. "All I Wanna Do" is pretty fun, but not a song I need to hear again, and "I Shall Believe" is a decent closer, but the rest is pretty forgettable. I do think Sheryl improves with her next couple albums. Light 3.5.
3.5
I would prefer to put this on over the Black Crowes but only marginally. All I Wanna Do is a good track that I wouldn’t mind if it was on Co Op radio but everything else is a bit dated and cheesy. I would definitely request something else to be played at an actual Tuesday Night Music Club if I was going. Something like Ace Of Base or Barenaked Ladies.
3- Stars (7/15)
So adult contemporary I can feel the denim rush against my skin
Favourite song - Leaving Las Vegas
Actually a decent album considering it was mostly a one hit at the time. High 2s.
Run Baby Run is a horrible opening track, it's maybe an early-second-half-of-the-album track. Honestly, this album isn't particularly notable. I could be convinced that Sheryl Crow belongs on this list, but not with this album
5 star. Such a great debut.
Superb!! 4 stars.
Some simple, folksy pop music. 3.5/5
Pretty solid album, I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. No real takeaways or surprises but a pretty easy to listen to.
I haven’t even listened to this yet and All I Want to Do is already stuck in my head. It’s going to be stuck in my head all week. Ok, I enjoyed that a lot more than I expected. There are actually some really good tracks on here. It might not make it into my regular listening rotation, but I wouldn’t be upset hearing this again in the future.
She only had 1 hit in my country, so I always thought of her as a one hit wonder. Turns out she has more than one good song. Good variety of influences. I read other reviews that said this album was formulaic. They either didn't listen to the entire album or don't know what they're talking about. The songs are quite different, but they sound like they belong together. That being said, I don't think I'll play this very often. Favorite song: all I wanna do
It’s got that weird 90s overproduced sound. Definitely not my jam
3 great songs and the rest are forgettable. Not bad for a debut album.
Turd
Sehr gut zu hörendes Pop-Album 5/5
Never listened to a Sheryl much but I enjoyed this
Enjoyable easy listening country pop.
Highlight: Strong Enough. It was a revelation at time of release. Now, it’s just okay. Most of the lyrics on the album (composed by the songwriting collective Sheryl was part of) are fantastic. Music however, shaky. I hate the pre-programmed synth drum beat. It’s mixed too loud and recycled throughout. Pedal steel, guitar and piano are good. Sheryl’s voice is perfect. Strong Enough is an evergreen classic. All I Wanna Do was killed by over saturation. The stomp-clap rap akin to Billy Joel's We Didn’t Start The Fire (The Na-Na Song) is cringey. The closing track would be the perfect episode or series closer of a soapie. It’s serviceable Overall: 4/10
The name Sheryl Crow certainly rings a bell, but I don't think I've heard her music before this. And honestly, for as much as this is a hodge-podge of your standard '90s pop tropes, it was pretty much enjoyable all the way through. 'Leaving Las Vegas' really hooked me in early on. There's just something about that chorus that throws me back to a time when I wasn't even born yet. And songs like 'Solidify' and 'The Na-Na Song' are just good, goofy fun that don't detract from the rest of the experience. The latter I liked especially, it being your standard pop-song mockery track, despite this album being a, you know, standard '90s pop-rock record all the same. That's not to say Sheryl Crow is overly generic in this field, because that's definitely not the case. For one, I find her writing to be more compelling than many of her contemporaries - especially on songs like 'No One Said It Would Be Easy', 'Strong Enough', and especially the epic and almost haunting 'We Do What We Can'. She also has a knack for interesting production, like with that slow trudging, reverberating bass on 'No One Said It Would Be Easy' or with the steel-pedal surfing on that fun bassline of 'All I Wanna Do'. Her voice is also really solid, she has this Fiona Apple type rasp and slickness (to make a comparison that will probably piss many off, but like come on, just listen to 'All I Wanna Do' - am I crazy?). So yeah, a super enjoyable record for me, honestly. Type of album where I see myself returning to many of the songs here.
ну пойдет
Gimme that annoying 90s sound and SCALE IT TO THE MAX!
Listens: 3 Standout Tracks: Run, Baby, Run, Strong Enough, The Na-Na Song I enjoyed this more than I care to admit. It's a well put-together album. Sheryl has a great voice. The tracks are catchy and have great hooks. There's diversity in the music, and obviously some of the tracks are culturally significant if you grew up on the radio in the 90s. I particularly like it when she gets a little strained/growl-y voice on the track; She very well could have been lead singer in a sort of punk/screamo/grunge band. I am thinking like, Garbage or ... idk. The Na-Na Song kind of reminds me of Billy Joel's We Didn't Start The Fire, hitting on a bunch of pertinent topics of the time.
Æ tror kanskje aldri æ har hørt det her albumet i sin helhet, fordi æ hørte mest på Sheryl Crow i hine hårde discman-dager, og æ eide aldri det her albumet, æ hørte mest på det sjøltitulerte som kom etter. Men nu tenke æ at det e litt rart at æ aldri gikk til innkjøp av det, for æ hadde jo åpenbart likt det også, så man lære så lenge man leve.
Love this album. Strong writing.
Well, as I'm writing this, it's Tuesday night — I guess there's no better time to listen to and discuss this album than now. So. Sheryl Crow. What do I know about her? Uhm... "All I Wanna Do" was covered in a Weird Al polka, so there's that. It was sandwiched between "Sex Type Thing" and "Closer". That's fun, I guess I think she also has a song about Steve McQueen — called "Steve McQueen". Makes sense. I think she did the title song for a James Bond movie... "Tomorrow Never Dies", I'm sure? That was a fun movie; I liked watching Michelle Yeoh... And that's it! That's all I know about her. And that's all I was interested to know up until I hadda write this review. Like, I'unno, Sheryl Crow is a name I've always known (oh, yeah, she was referenced in the "Babe Ruth vs Lance Armstrong" episode of Epic Rap Battles Of History — I guess they dated?), but I guess I just never really felt the urge to discover the music associated with it. And after listening to this album, uh, I can't say I shoulda done it any quicker? Like, OK, OK, OK, let me be fair: it's not a bad album. I know I'm not particularly discerning about albums, but seriously, it's really not. Quite frankly, its biggest sin is that, at the same time, it's not really all that great, either? Sure, there were a couple of songs where I was tapping my foot or kinda nodding along... But on the whole it just didn't excite me too much, or really inspire me to write. I'unno if I'd say I'm underwhelmed, but I'm just like, "Sure. It's fine. I guess." This whole pop rock-y singer-songwriter folk thing she's doing here... It sounds like it should be more exciting than it is. And following along with the lyrics best I could, too, I felt like I should be feeling something. But it just glides on that one level while mostly never doing anything to rise above it. The exceptions, I'd say, are "All I Wanna Do" (which I actually didn't really get the hype behind too much), and "Solidify" and "The Na-Na Song" — though lemme saying, it's not exactly a compliment that the feeling these songs made me feel was "annoyed." Seriously, the worst songs on this album, you ask me. If the rest of this thing was a 5, these would bring it down to a 4, easy. I mean, "Solidify" just has this obnoxiously prickly guitar thing that repeats every couple of seconds and it was super distracting. Meanwhile, "The Na-Na Song" is just like, "Damn, OK, you wanna be 'Subterranean Homesick Blues' — cool. Wanna try being **good** first?" Past talking about those two songs, there's nothing specific I really wanna bring up. Whatever people saw in it at the time, I just can't find it. It's not entirely unenjoyable (I **do** like Crow's voice, even if I spent the entire album tryna figure out what it reminded me of (I couldn't think of it)), but, yeah. I'm not surprised I didn't seek it or her music out sooner. And on top of all that, it's by far the worst Deep Purple album I've ever heard. Nothing on here sounded even remotely like "Smoke On The Water"! I tell yah...
Don't have much to say besides this is a pretty good piece of 90's pop rock. Solid 4 Stars.
I’m at a 4.5 that I’ve got to talk myself into one way or the other, but I’m leaning towards a 5. First things first: it’s a *good* album. My knowledge of Sheryl Crow comes in her poppier stuff, ala “All I Wanna Do”, and not in the more rock-heavy tone this album generally takes. Color me impressed by the variety on display here; there’s everything from a noir-driven track in “We Do What We Can” to a sort of Peter Gabriel-esque cut in “Solidify”, the rap flow present on “The Na-Na Song”, the Tom Petty-esque “Leaving Las Vegas”, & the grunge energy that starts the whole thing on “Run Baby Run”. Sheryl Crow’s vocals are pretty damn good throughout, the lyricism is super strong, and instrumentally, I think this is a really nice slight update to the mid/late 80s sound that people like Suzanne Vega kicked into gear, with just a bit of 90s flair and production behind it. For 1993, some of these do feel a little ahead of pace. As a whole, I really can’t say there’s a bad track here, and for my tastes, I dug the entire album. So, what the hell is the issue stopping me from giving this a definitive bump up to a 5? It’s just the pacing, really. This album’s one plague is repetitive outros & occasionally fully repetitive rhythms that extend the runtime, in such a way that even though it’s a decently brisk 49 minutes, it feels longer than it should. There’s plenty of things that could’ve been cut down in each track to avoid that sense of repetition, and while I don’t think it’s going to actually be enough to bump it down to a 4 by itself, it’s something that pulls the album down for me. There is something else biting at me, but I also don’t think it’s going to warrant bumping this down to a 4 – I think “We Do What We Can” is really, really confusingly written. I just can’t follow the “he” of the track, given the shifting perspectives, and while it doesn’t undermine the noir instrumental of the track, having a muddy story to something as smooth & perfectly captured as that does kind of undermine the noir *theming* of the track. Combine that with its 5:37 runtime, and the fact that it comes right after “All I Wanna Do”, it’s probably the track that needed the most work, or at least another pass to see if it cohesively fit at that point in the album. I’m not sure it does, but it definitely has a place on the album. So, between the pacing of the album making it a little longer than necessary, the repetition in the outros & one awkward track placement, is that enough combined to bump it down to a 4? Perhaps on another day, but for a first impression, I’m still just too impressed by the variety tackled on this album and how effectively Sheryl Crow bounces from song to song here without really feeling like she’s out of place on anything. The floor for this album is a 3, especially if the stuff I mentioned is an amplified issue. It’s got issues, sure, but at the end of the day, I still liked it a lot. I’m gonna bump it to a 5, and I think it’s earned that. A thumbs up from me. I need to add a little more Sheryl Crow to my big playlist.
Я не любитель американских фолк песен, но альбом все равно довольно приятный
Ok 2/5
Way better than I thought
Not awful but just sorta there…
This just makes me sad about Kevin Gilbert -- any of his albums deserve to be here over this trite, Sheryl Crow is nothing without the people she actively screwed over. She's more of a vulture than a crow.
I started thinking I'd be giving this album a 3, but then I listened to the whole album. Some serious clunkers on here surrounded by generic pop. Meh. I'll give it 2 stars because I was able to listen to all of it, but that's all it'll get
This album is just fun. I want to be a part of the club. Full disclosure: When Sheryl was dating Eric Clapton, I wasn't sure who I was more envious of.
wait its good. damn 90/100
This sounds like the mid-90s.
not my kinda music
Enjoyed this. Wish I’d been more aware of it at the time. A fascinating collection of songs.
Okayish
Sheryl Crow’s music has been inescapable for the past few decades. I was skeptical that I’d like this album, because the songs might have become played out. Nope. She’s a great songwriter and performer and the tracks are vary in style, but not in quality. This is a 4. Glad I listened.
I have never gotten into Sheryl Crow, I think she has somewhat of a thin reedy voice and the songs range from okay to monotonous and forgettable. Plus one for the overall musicianship and production
Pretty decent. A couple of famous songs on it. Not exactly pop but on that spectrum. Probably between a three and a four for me.
I am overwhelmed by the nostalgic smell of a Case Logic CD binder. The first half is surprisingly nice, the second bland corporate pap leavened by The Hit. Better than it deserves to be.
My mum had this album and if you’d asked me before i listened to this i would’ve told you this would be at least a 3.5/5. My memory has obviously been clouded by the big hits or i should say hit, as again i was surprised to find ‘if it makes you happy’ was later than this album. Its not rubbish but it’s hardly great and suffers as my mind groups this and Jagged little pill together in my mind and my appreciation of that has grown with age. All I wanna do is an undeniably catchy tune and is unsurprisingly the highlight. This makes the decision to follow this with the dirge of ‘We do what we can’ and it’s “draft dodging brothers” even more ludicrous.
I’ve never been a fan of Sheryl Crow so while I wasn’t expecting to particularly like this, it’s fine. I won’t listen to it again, but it was fine.
Firstly a small rant about deluxe editions: if your record label wants to make a deluxe edition to generously give the fans more music/fleece the fans for more money (delete based on your level of cynicism) that's great. But do not delete the original from streaming services and force me to have to check where I'm supposed to stop listening to properly assess an album for this project. It keeps on happening! Tut! For an album that spawned six singles, I genuinely would have only been able to name All I Wanna Do, such was its ubiquity in the early 90s charts. But listening to this, I remember a lot of it. I remember Run Baby Run which would probably make the record company happy as they released it 3 times in the UK in the hope of making it work - genuinely a bonkers choice for first single given some of the other songs on this record. For example, Leaving Las Vegas which is a much better option for first single. Reading about Leaving Las Vegas made me nostalgic for the era when singles a) got physical releases and b) got multiple versions in multiple formats, each of which would have different b-sides so you ended up collecting the lot. LLV had a 7", cassette and two different CDs in the UK! See people complain about record companies now but you only get 15 different vinyl colours for an album because they can no longer flog you four versions of the same single. This feels like damning with faint praise, but this was mostly a very pleasant album to listen to. I'm not sure how I feel about Solidify which is extremely early 90s (the instrumentation could easily have had Micheal Jackson singing over the top), and the second half generally doesn't feel as strong as the first half but I did enjoy it. All I Wanna Do remains the absolute stand out track though. 3/5
Mediocre.
Eh
I didn't expect to like this but I did. Generally. I don't know if I would give it a 4, but 3.5 for sure.
There are a couple interesting left turns on this, but the majority of it is a kind of country-pop-rock thing that sounds very similar to other artists with this sound. Her voice fits the songs well - it's authentic and not over-polished. The lyrics are a mixed bag; I like the chorus on "Strong Enough" and the specificity of songs like "All I Wanna Do," but "The Na-Na Song" and it's we-didn't-start-the-fire-ness is a bit grating. The melodies are nice, but rarely better than nice, which is the biggest problem. My favorite songs are the ones that are more daring, even if they don't always work. "Solidify'" is my favorite with its funky groove. "We Can Do What We Can" doesn't work as well, but I still appreciate the jazzy night club vibe it's going for. Replace some of the slower ballads like "No One Said it Would Be Easy" with more adventurous songs and this would be a better listen.
Reasonably palatable singer-songwriter / country-pop stuff. Relies heavily on third-person narratives, which gets a bit tired, and the same melodic intervals in the vocal lines, which also gets a bit tired. Sadly, when it dabbles in genres which veer away from the formula, it doesn't really work and just sounds a bit, well, silly. Sheryl does bring a bit of personality and charm to the table at least, but the singles are the best of a bad bunch here. I've heard worse albums on this list, but it's still a "no" from me, I'm afraid.
# Playlist Track - All I Wanna Do # Notes - A few interesting tracks, but an intolerable amount of over-singing. Most of the listen feels a bit forced and over exerted. - Not coincidentally, my favourite track is of the light, careless, chill ones. - Not horrible, tho. OK pop, that could just take it a bit easier on the mics.
Would be 5 but for Leaving Las Vegas, truly annoying
The hits are the only highlight here. 3/5
Some light country-tinged pop rock. The songs are not bad, but they are rather boring. I wanted a cool metal album to be my birthday album, but I got this grocery store pop album instead.
Nice voice, mostly insipid slow pop music. 4/10
bland 90s music that feels like it plays in the background of a clothing store.
Her first record, thought it was pretty strong. A couple of the poppier moments aren’t great imo but decent songwriting throughout. the back half is also strong, held up by the single (all I wanna do) which is still great.
Country pop/rock/ crossover album from the mid 90s. Not really my cup of tea overall but it isn't a bad album, just a bit too generic for my taste - but it was a pleasant enough listen overall. The big hit of the album is quite fun. Rounded up to 3 stars.
achei meio sem sal...mas esse álbum fez a moça ganhar 3 grammys...
Pretty good but not my cup o tea
There’s all those songs from Sheryl crow. Pretty catchy
the singles are very good. the rest is sunshiny, low stakes, kinda bops along. it's well produced. "no one said it would be easy" is good. the jazzy song is bad. bonnie raitt lite. lucinda without the miles on the wheels or the gravel in the voice. if this was playing while i was in a bar on santa monica boulevard some summer tuesday afternoon, i'd be cool with it.
The nanana song is surprisingly fun. This album has some great highlights but overall it took me a couple tries to complete. She has her audience and I’m just a visitor.
starting with RUN BABY RUN, boring...vanilla ballad that lacks any of cheryls vocal grit and country swagger is such a strange choice. that song sucks LEAVING LAS VEGAS is immediately what I expect from a Cheryl song...and its much better. CANT CRY ANYMORE is really nice. I like the groovy little guitar lick....its the case of, wow thats nice...its a surprise, but why not more? too neutered and pruned for commercial consumption. either way, i dig it, and i wish it was put out front more. SOLIDIFY is a ....prince song? What the heck. why im cool with not hearing THE NA NA SONG again. album is a bit all over....you can tell they are trying to things and try to sort it out. its no wonder why the successful singles established her sound, and songs like this were never to be heard again. ALL I WANNA DO IS HAVE SOME FUN is the only song i wanna listen to on this album and i have a feeling im not the only one... cos its not cheryl doing her best fionna impression on WE DO WHAT WE CAN or the last song YUCK 2 shredded bottles of bud on the bar out of 5.
deducted one star just because one of the popular reviews on this website referred to her as the “female tom petty”
ON A SATURDAY NIGHT
Huh?
Cool how it was made/the tribute to them
All I wanna do - is have some fun - I got a feeling - I'm not the only one
One hit song on this album. I thought there'd be more.
The back story to this is so interesting. Enjoys a meteoric rise to fame, despite her conviction for racially aggravated assault of a toilet attendant in a Guildford nightclub She marries a gifted sports star amid tabloid insinuations that the relationship is a sham to hide her partner's closeted homosexuality. After the demise of that ill-fated relationship she appears to briefly find happiness with a man 10 years her junior and who she had once mentored on a TV talent show but he later dies in a tragic accident falling from a hotel balcony while on tour in South America, leaving her to raise their son. Oops, sorry wrong Sheryl/Cheryl. Anyway all that aside, the story of how the original Sheryl kind of screwed over the co-writers of many of these tunes is kind of wild too.
Had this on CD back in 94. Haven’t listened to it since then and had forgotten about a few good tracks. Hadn’t aged too badly. Run baby run, strong enough, can’t cry anymore.
Not my thing, very much of a time
I dug this. More so than I did when it came out. I get the hype now. I used to loathe Leaving Las Vegas. I’m with ya now, Sheryl!
Not my cup of tea but an interesting listen
I thought it was quite alright. Nothing too special however. Good slow jams but mostly a standard 90’s, singer-songwriter record. I do think that there’s a good influence of Sheryl’s vocals in today’s music. Namely, the subdued style she took. However, I wouldn’t say I remember too much from the experience. Best thing I can say is that it’s inoffensive.
OK
Some real classics on here, but other than those, the rest of it was just okay to me. My husband loved it, though.
“Leaving Las Vegas,” “Strong Enough” and “Can’t Cry Anymore” are great. “All I Wanna Do Is Have Some Fun” was so overplayed back in the day. I like other Sheryl Crow albums better, but this is a great debut.

Pretty good
Eine Frau yippie! Sehr coole Songs und coole funky instrumente. Durch ihre coole etwas tiefere Stimme kamen die Gitarren parts noch besser hervor und es hat sich insgesammt sehr stimmig angehört und war nicht nervig. Hatte spaß beim hören und werde manche Songs definitiv nochmal hören. Gebe hier 4 Sterne, würde vllt sogar zu 4,5 tendieren. Lieblingssongs: The Na-Na song, What I Can Do For You, All I Wanna Do
A quintessentially sounding 90's female singer-songwriter, pop/rock album. Sheryl Crow has her fair share of hits, those of which I do enjoy greatly, but this record was somewhat formulaic outside of the singles. It's a fine debut, all things considered, it doesn't suffer from overproduction and is pretty stripped back for the most part. "All I Wanna Do" may stand on its own as a single, but "Run Baby Run" and "Strong Enough" were other highlights.
Have some fun
Some of these were very silly. Some funky. Lol. That one good song tho
It interesting to relisten to some of these dated albums and think "now I know why one or two of these songs were hits and the others I've never heard".
Sheryl Crow's introduction to the world showcased her ability to craft party songs, ballads, bluesy and folk rock, and even some jazz. That this eclectic range somehow works together is quintessential 90s. In retrospect you can see how promising this album was. At the time, there were skeptics. She answered them powerfully with her second, purposely self-titled album. And of course she's now had a strong, successful, respectable career. Favorite deep cuts from first listen: "Can't Cry Anymore" (actually a minor hit in the US), "We Do What We Can," and "I Shall Believe." Add to that "No One Said It Would Be Easy." These songs keep growing on me...
Between her rambling storytelling and infectious vocals, Sheryl Crow delights in her debut album. I was pleasantly surprised at the number of singles I recognized, and the rest of the album didn't disappoint either. Underneath the commercial pop wizardry, a real songwriter emerges with surprising strength. And she makes it seem effortless when you know it isn't. A welcome trip down memory lane!
This is such a killer album. I listened to this a lot when it came out. I saw Sheryl at a Christmas Jam in Asheville in 2012. Her band and Warren Haynes and Trombone Shorty played the Blind Faith tune Can't Find My Way Home that was particularly great. There's video of it on YT if you're inclined to being blown away. But anyway, this album is still as good today as it was back then. This was really a good time for women in rock music and I enjoyed all of it. Extra stars for the nostalgia trips.
the history of an album should not impact the music on an album, but in this case I cannot. The fact that she named the album "Tuesday Night Music Club", who is the band that brought her in and wrote the music and songs with her, who she then turned her back on and didn't even use as the musicians when she recorded the album is enough to sour my appreciation of this album. Onto the review of the actual album. its pretty generic pop country, with cheesy lyrics "are you strong enough to be my man, are you man enough to be my man" i mean come on! all that said, its not terrible, but nothing that made me go "wow, this is amazing" i cannot understand why this has so many record sales. I guess people need this sort of thing in their lives. No one said it would be easy is the standout song mostly because it is the most aligned to traditional country. The album was okay. standard 3 stars
Avant d'écouter cet album, je pensais que Sheryl Crow c'était pas ma came. Eh bien il s'avère qu'après l'avoir écouté (oui oui en entier), c'est toujours pas ma came ! J'ai trouvé les chansons plutôt longues et ennuyeuses. C'est ça, pour résumer l'album en un mot, je dirais "ennui". NEXT!
I've heard this album more times than I cared to. Back in the record store days, a couple of my co-workers were really into it. I thought it was just boring then, so wasn't looking forward to hearing it again. I was a little surprised a couple of the lesser known tracks ("Run, Baby, Run" and "Solidify") I liked more now than I did then. That's about it, though. The rest of the album still sounds like generic snooze rock.
Maybe this didn't sound great because it wasn't Tuesday.
7/10… soft rock / mellow pop
Basic country, pop, singer songwriter fusion. Will never come back to it, boring. 3/10
408/1001 🌕🌕🌕🌑🌑
Bullshit!
This was better than expected. It’s stronger lyrical than anything else. It only took me 30 years to finally listen to it.
a nice throwback. I can imagine what this would be like listening for the first time
Some nice stuff but too many misses
I didn’t know Sheryl was a woke queen but the presentation didn’t do much for me.
Sure, why not? I can't argue against the quality and popularity of this milktoast album from the 90s; it's pretty harmless and slightly catchy. But I can argue its place on this list.
I once worked with someone who harbored a passionate distaste for Sheryl Crow (shout out Cameron; I hope you’re well), and I think I get it now.
First time listening to a fulI length album by Sheryl Crow. A really appreciated second half of the album. Particularly, track 6-11. All around a decent album (specifically as a debut).
4.2
this is what i imagine white suburban moms put on blast, just not for me
Wait this is actually kinda groovy. This is a very nice vibe which I am surprisingly not hating. But would I listen to it again? Nah WAIT SOLIDIFY IS ACTUALLY REALLY FUN HOLD UP
If this whole album was like Strong Enough, it would be a straight 5 stars for me. However, there are too many Na-Na Songs that fill the gaps between songs like Leaving Las Vegas and All I Wanna Do. I enjoyed my time with this album, I like Sheryl Crow, and I LOVE Strong Enough. For me though, this album isn't more than 3 stars and I question its placement on an essentials list
sherly crow PLEASE let me join the tuesday night music club
....nahhhhh. I wanted to give this a fair shot since I have a soft spot for 90s alternative pop, but this is really a huge nothing-burger of an album. Unfortunately this is inoffensive background music, which I doubt is something Crow was going for. "All I wanna Do" is an absolute banger though. Love that track.
A good fun album from a legend of music. I see some of the special traits in this album, but it's hard to be excited about every song in the debut.
7/10 - pretty fun! plenty of songs I liked hear, tho nothing profound
I have never really liked this album.
Forgettable
This is a very "fine" album. Nothing impressed me overmuch, but it was enjoyable. Favorite track: "The Na-Na Song," since it stood out as interesting compared to the rest of the album.
Slow, boring country tinged Pop Rock.
Very good album. Grew up on this
Kind of a mixed bag but… take my 4 stars Sheryl Crow
I enjoyed this but not as much as its follow-up
if i was born like 5 years earlier i bet i would have been obsessed with this
An excellent debut, songs with feeling and thump
Fun
Ibi wibould
As dull as I was expecting.
Her voice is ok, but the music is bad, very bad!
She’s definitely very distinctive in her lyrical delivery, which in places really reminded my of minor 90s psyche pop act Jellyfish (bonus points for remembering them). Anyway, it’s hard to deny the big hit is a great song, I also really liked the Na-Na song. The remainder though is perfectly listenable but a bit bland. Feeling generous today, so 3* it is.
Meh.
A 90's singer-songwriter album with a rootsy edge. I like this. It's fun, it has good songwriting and performances. It's like listening to a very nice local band at a cozy bar (on a Tuesday night, I guess). Key tracks: Run, Baby, Run Strong Enough All I Wanna Do
yeah this is great actually
A whole lot of nothing. Why is she so famous? It was fine, I guess, nothing offensively bad, but I don’t hear anything that would suggest it’s genre-defining, or worthy of inclusion on any Best Of list. All I Wanna Do is pretty catchy, but is one catchy pop song enough to warrant a spot on this list? I submit that it’s not.
Первая половина, да и альбом в целом, были сильно лучше того, что можно ожидать от поп-рока из девяностых с такой вот обложкой. Лучшая песня - Leaving Las Vegas.
All I wanted to was have some fun ... and this album delivered
Except for the famous single, i thought this was a nothingburger of an album
Meh
nice enough
2/5
It was good, but a bit boring.
Her voice is kinda whiney to me. It's ok.
I liked the last two songs on the album, the rest of it was very generic pop country to me. Little bit of rock influence, but even with seeing the influence she had, it didn’t feel like anything special to me. Honestly hard to give this more than a two, leaning towards a one, just not for me.
kind of mystified that this sheryl album is on this list. not my favorite of hers musically, lyrically, or thematically but i will always have a soft spot for her voice. toooooo many ballads, though
Not as bad as I feared. The first and third track are actually quite well written pop songs with good choruses. I also liked the smooth, jazzy We Do What We Can. I’ve always hated All I Wanna Do, though. And The Na-Na Song was even worse. Horrible song! All in all a 5/10
Timing on this album was spot on! Early 90’s, a Dem in the White House, and people were happy again. Economy was beginning to cook, and religion was on its heels! Hell yeah, this is a fun album from better days. Sheryl’s one of the best… and she’s normal!
Tuesday Night Music Club is Sheryl Crow's debut album and the name of a collaborative group that helped Crow write the album. The album was remarkably successful, and launched her career. Crow won three Grammys for the effort, including Record of the Year. Crow makes songs based in classic roots rock, with the story-telling of folk songs. Her clear, insightful lyrics and strong voice made a few of these songs into pop icons, including "Run, Baby, Run," "Strong Enough," and the biggest hit from the album, "All I Wanna Do."
wow, this got me into a deep dive of the controversey surrounding the album and the credits, which made me sideeye Sheryl Crow a bit. favorite track is "Strong Enough" but even that is a bit mid
This album was all over the place. I respect her as an artist for trying so many different sounds, but this has some of the defining obnoxious characteristics of 90s pop. The na-na song is just annoying and some of the songs are too repetitive (oh is she leaving las vegas?, fading out to "for you for you" for 30 seconds). But there are some songs where her voice sounds really strong (can't cry anymore i think?).
Listening Notes: -Run Baby Run has a fun chorus, but the verse seem bad somehow. -In general, this just feels very generic -Ooh a Talking Heads reference on All I Wanna Do! That's fun! Generic country-inflected rock. Very little exciting going on here. The little Sheryl Crow that I know hat a bit more of a punky edge. But this is totally sterile. I'll say this is better than a lot of the twos I've given (and certainly a few threes), but if this is a three-star album I'm inflating my ratings too much. It's just boring! So it's a 2 from me.
I don't think it's Sheryl Crow's fault that when listening to this album for this project I had to hear the song "All I Wanna Do" twice: once in my car on the way to the grocery store and once over the loudspeaker in the grocery store while I was shopping. But I do think it is her fault that she made a song so inoffensive that grocery stores play it.
i know Sheryl Crow is important to country music. I am not her biggest fan but this album is consistently bops and the lyrics of certain songs (which imo defines the genre) are bright and interesting.
Better than remembered. Great voice
Pretty. Nice. Not mindblowing or anything.
Very good
Not a Sheryl Crow fan. I tried.
All I Wanna Do seems pretty bland to me, and surprising to see it's her most popular song when I don't think it's even her best song on this album. A testament to the need to listen for yourself.
I’m having a Sheryl Crow summer
Some pleasant songs
I like Crow’s voice. But the music itself is a touch too generic for me. Outside of the super famous song included on this album I mostly endured listening. 2.5/5
Great suggestion from 1001 Albums Generator! I should have listened most of the songs of this album in a separated way never paying attention to the album itself. And it is a really good one, fresh, vivid, eclectic, plenty of nice songs opening the 90's.
Pretty boring. Did enjoy All I Wanna Do, which is a bit more Fun.
Not my favorite style but the songwriting is great. Goood performance too.
One of the few albums already in the collection.
I don't know. I really don't. I definitely didn't hate this, but I'm not sure I loved it. Honestly, I may have to go against my own history and actually and biases and give this one high marks just based on her actual songwriting.
I don’t have the exact description beyond 90s sound but I always love hearing. This was good overall.
Büro, Heidenheim, Deutschland Macht Laune, gutes Album.
Not as good as I hoped it would be. I bought this when it came out and was disappointed. Maybe I should listen again now that I’m not a youngster anymore…
My aunt passed away several years ago but tonight I was driving in a car with her. The car had no headlights so it was very dark outside. She was trying to find a spot to smoke a joint. I don't smoke so I was a bit annoyed with a little anxiety and a lot of fear of dying in this see of blackness. She pulls into a state park parking lot and there are a whole lot of police and they, no matter how hard she pretended her car had no lights, stopped her. They could smell the smoke and pulled her out. I guess I was trying to hide in the back seat I was both afraid and annoyed. They questioned me and let me go but I had to walk home. I noticed that there were mall doors in the woods and lots of people coming in and out so I figured it was a safe way to get to my sister's house. I go in and it's a vast cave that's part forest part building. I'm immediately lost. I find one door and it's full kids in their late teens to late twenties. They're dressed like all types of people that were in their 20s during the late 2000s to 2010s. Hipsters, people that looked like, I'm not sure what one would call them but their style was heavily influenced by the way kids looked at grateful dead shows in the early mid 90s but they weren't. I would go through another door and it was a cave of more of them and some try to engage but I walk past, I just want to get home. I open several doors like that until I get to a hospital lobby. There's a few actual nurses and attendees standing around. I can still see from the walls it's still a cave. This time there is an exit but it's the wrong one so I go through another door and it's part cave part forest part food court but everyone looks like the people from the other area. Some I knew, I think. You know one of those part people you know that are also people you've never seen. I go through another door and it's a triage with people in sleeping bags. Another door and it's full of nurses dressed like they do in older movies. All white with hats. One looked familiar and I leaned in to getva closer look and it is my ex-wife. I see that she sees me but I try to walk by as though I don't see her. She starts to walk alongside me and says "Don't say anything to me here" and I tell her I wasn't and go through another door that's still not the way out. More doors that lead to part cave part forest part general buildings. Finally I go through one and it's a mall. I walk through the sea of people and they get fewer and fewer as I go when I spot 3 people I knew. Aaron, David and Christian. Friends of mine from the 90s. They were the only people that looked grown up. At first I was hesitant to walk up. They were with this pretty girl I'd never seen before but that kinda gells with them. David had this annoyed look on his face though I think it's the face he makes when he's nervous. Aaron was invested in the girl but they were definitely enjoying being together. I walked up to them and told them I couldn't find a way out. They said they were going to eat and I could come. I somehow knew I had $61 so I said sure. Christian looked really happy and asked me how the Dictator was going. I thought he was talking about the Charlie Chaplin movie but then he chimes in " the dictator, your book? How's it going?" I was never writing a book called the dictator and Christian was always getting these things wrong but he always seemed genuinely interested in my writing. I told him I don't write anymore. I was still hesitant to go with them because I would be this fourth guy with this girl but I was just wanting to get out of this cave forest building, I had zero interest in the girl. We get into a car, part Toyota part Limo and I had this feeling we were going to Subway. They were all laughing then stopped laughing very quickly. Aaron was older and he had a combover. David looked exactly the same and Christian not much different but still aged. Greasy shoulder length hair combed back. I was happy to see them and didn't feel out of place. Everything moved in slow motion. Sometimes there faces were close to mine sometimes I could see them from the distance. The vibe was that I was welcomed and out of the cave.
Why is this in the list? All I Wanna Do is clearly a certified banger but everything else is mid
I decided to go to my local grocery store to listen to this one so I could be in the natural place where one would hear this music. In all seriousness, it’s not bad, just rather shallow and a little boring. The most interesting thing is that the top review on the generator is for Deep Purple.
I know it’s poppy and basic, but I guess I kinda like that.
Better than I expected
Sheryl Crow is the kinda artist that you tend to forget how iconic her music is. Really solid album, especially for a debut album!! I feel like I don't give Sheryl the attention she deserves. I haven't thought of her in like 20 years, but then when ya go back and listen to her music again, it is great. I think it may be because her music was played to death on the radio stations in the 90's/00's. One thing I never noticed before, but immediately heard upon today's listen was how the well known riff from Barenaked Ladies song "Pinch Me" was taken directly from Sheryl Crow's song "Leaving Las Vegas". Another interesting note: If you like Sheryl Crow's song "Strong Enough", look up Adam Baldwin's cover version...I like it even more! Favorite songs: Strong Enough, "Run, Baby, Run", Leaving Las Vegas, No One Said It Would Be Easy, Solidify, All I Wanna Do Least favorite songs: We Do What We Can 4/5
Meh. Average white girl 90s music. Pretty boring. I have always liked Strong Enough though.
A longish car ride gave me ample opportunity to contemplate my dislike of Sheryl Crow. For all its commercial monstrousness, the album is slick and dull, like all mainstream 90s music, but the really irritating thing to me is the opportunistic way a middling bluesy-pop band was packaged to highlight the frontwoman to get in on a Women in Rock trend, when there were plenty of other women (Gillian Welch, Lucinda Williams, et al) making much more interesting music. Run Baby Run is an ok song, and nothing about it is terribly offensive, so I guess it gets a 2.
2.75. Maybe a 3.
J’ai trouvé que plusieurs pièces s’étiraient et se répétaient, aurait bénéficié de versions resserrées
This just pretty basic white lady rock lol it was ok just not my type of music
A bit too slick and shiny to really excite me. Her second album is much better.
So I was a bit underwhelmed. Not sure if my expectations were too high or the album was not that great. Either way I’m giving it a 3.
This was a truly forgettable album. 2.5 stars
I'm glad this album was less like "All I Want to Do" and more like "Strong Enough To Be My Man." I don't love her voice but the music is nice.
this is drastically boring compared to her self titled album, i almost can't believe it
sadder than i expected! fine tho
You used to hear a song on the radio, go to the store, and occasionally spend your hard earned 12.99-19.99 on a CD... and sometimes you did all that just to get home and realize the single is totally unlike everything else on the album so now you blew twenty dollars. All I Wanna Do is the only fun song on this album.
Pretty generic singing for the most part. I felt like it was an early 2000s album instead of early 90s so I guess she was ahead of her time? I enjoyed a few of the backing instruments on a handful of songs. Not quite my type of music but it’s fine for what it is. 6/10
It's fun and catchy and fluffy country music. It's not my thing, but it's enjoyable enough. I did quite enjoy We Do What We Can. 2/5 stars.
Has the iconic Strong Enough and All I Wanna Do. Overall very mellow. A few songs where her voice was really grating.
I’m torn, there are a lot of fantastic tracks sans vocals but I just can’t get into her voice for the most of it, the yeller ones. It has a stronger back end
Pop album which doesn't hurt anyone. Classical 5/10.
This is just not my thing Brings back weird memories of choir in middle school
A woman! Might this be the first and only woman on this testosterone driven play-list? Nice background music. "All I want to do" is a total bop.
Not my thing but Strong Enough has a sweet tune. Quit after that one.
Fun re-listen. I really like Sheryl’s sound and vibe. Tory between a 3 and a 4. I guess my tastes are pretty basic because this does it for me
Nice
Oh fuck why I she wailing like that? The music doesn't even call for it
I know heading into this album that All I Wanna Do and Strong Enough are the big hits and that they will likely be the songs I like the least. Run, Baby, Run is a good start. Leaving Las Vegas was a single and it's good too. This album is much better than I remembered. As a 13 year old boy when it came out, I was not the target demographic though. Coldplay totally ripped off the lyrics for The Scientist from No One Said It Would Be Easy. No doubt that All I Wanna Do is the worst song on the album. Everything else is actually a pretty decent album.
Aight
Lovely as always.
This crow flew down and pecked my ears pleasantly
Some decent songs and some filler. She has a generally nice voice.
Irritating and generic. If you like this, I'm sure there is a reason. I just haven't found one yet.
- I have this one on CD tand like it. But then I listened to it today…it’s so much better than I remember.
Some bangers, some sleepers. 3/5
Okay, I don't think I will ever revisit this album, or Sheryl Crow's music in general, but I have to admit that it was a very pleasant and cute album. Catchy tunes, nice vocal, nothing crazy, but also nothing too boring. I would think that it's a perfect example of 3.5 stars, but let's be generous this one time.
This album and Cheryl Crow was everywhere in the early 90’s. All I wanna do was a staple at the bars I frequented. Fun stuff.
Uninteresting soulless pop music. I really have nothing to say, it was that boring and forgettable.
Maybe it's just because I've had a lot of heavily instrumental 60's stuff lately and that it's just nice to have something more pop-y for a change, but I enjoyed this one quite a bit Standouts Leaving Las Vegas Solidify All I Wanna Do 4/5
It's not a bad album. Has some rough edges and I enjoy her later stuff more but I enjoyed this more than I expected to. She's got some great lyrics but the songs are kind of going through the paces, just plodding along. Her next album is better.
not my kind of thing so i don't really know
This is pretty good. For some reason I thought Sheryl Crow sang country music so I was initially dreading this album. It was so fun though! I'd probably rate it a 4.5 but I'll round down to 4 for now.
Tuesday Night Music Club has a couple of radio-friendly highlights (All I Wanna Do being the obvious one), but as a full album it feels a bit like flipping through someone else’s scrapbook—pleasant enough, but not especially gripping. The laid-back, rootsy sound aims for charm and relatability, but often lands in safe, mid-tempo territory that blends together without much impact. Crow’s voice has an easygoing appeal, and the production is polished, but the songs rarely dig deep or do anything particularly memorable. It’s not a bad listen, just a very forgettable one. A few nice moments, but not enough to make you come back for seconds.
I thought Sheryl Crow was a country singer.
Released during the 1990s when there were so many amazing female singer-songwriters, Crow always felt on the weaker side to me. Revisiting this album 30 years later (uh, where does time go?), I still feel the same. Her voice is average, even kind of bad at times, and the songs are fairly forgettable. I will take Tori Amos or Paula Cole any day (or The Chicks if we are leaning country). Overall, an average albeit forgettable album.
She is not a bad songwriter but she is not a great one either. My brother recently compared her to Huey Lewis and that seems apt, he music on this album seems ready made for generic heartfelt moments on tv dramas
A classic
Solid!
Like the vibes and vocals Fav song - Run baby, run 4/5
5/5/25. Very solid pop rock here. When the production is done right, the songs can really shine, and Sheryl Crow does that here. Really enjoyed the second half of the album.
3 sterne
Was excited after the opener, but it fell off quick for me.
Some good songs
This is a bit of a mixed bag. Some absolute crackers but also a few weaker efforts. I feel like Sheryl doesn’t have a strong identity as a performer. Some of her numbers came on in the playlist after the album and they were surprisingly good. A greatest hits package is the way to go with her. The 5 star rating system strikes again - 3.5 rounding down because it definitely isn’t worth a 4
The three country ballads ("Strong Enough", "No One Said it Would Be Easy", "I Shall Believe") are downright terrible. They offer exactly nothing interesting at all, and consist entirely of interminable whining and boring country music. However, the rest of the album shows a lot of variety and is actually pretty good. 2.5/5.0: Mixed
i've always thought of sheryl as pop country so i was surprised to hear some of these songs that leaned more pop rock. theres a few good really good tracks, a few really bad ones, and the rest fall somewhere in between.
Started off strong, had a couple of iffy songs in the middle, All I Wanna Do brought it back and then it had a disappointing ending (which is pretty common). If the middle or ending hadn't tapered off I would've called this 4*, but it's a high 3.
A two star album with a 4 star song. Mostly forgettable without "all I want to do"
closer to 4 probably could i write poetry to this? n
Music for people who found Counting Crows to be too "edgy" and Wallflowers to be "not edgy enough."
Never mad about hearing a Sheryl Crow song, but also never seek one out.
My mom owned this album growing up. A lot of good songs and some of her best hits. Sheryl Crow definitely captured the vibes of the early 90s well. Overall- good album
Damn. I'm kind of upset that I didn't get to listen to this on a Tuesday night. Whatever. You can't always get what you want. However, I did get something that I wanted from this Sheryl Crow album. I got good music. I like this album! This is some solid stuff right here. I mean, there's a Talking Heads reference on the album's most popular song! That's a sign of peak. That song, "All I Wanna Do" is pretty great tbh. The others aren't quite as good, but I wouldn't really call any of them bad. The overall vibes are nice. This is definitely on the poppier side of albums on the list, but it's not shallow. The writing is alright. Nothing spectacular, but it is good. I like the variety on the album. The songs do a good job at feeling different from one another. I like that. Sheryl's singing is good. Everything about this album is good. Nothing is top-tier, but everything is slightly above-average. Good job Sheryl Crow! Light 4/5.
Sometimes I feel like I just can't enjoy regular pop music, and that's really an issue here. The music is not bad, but that's all I can say of this album, because I genuinely don't remember any significant moment where I say "oh, this is good". No uniqueness...is it country rock? I think it's 2.5, but since the site doesn't allow 2.5, I don't know whether it should be a 2 or a 3.
ganz nett, kann man sich immer mal wieder anhören
I was once sat in the pub with my friends and we were talking about our “type” in women. I stated I didn’t really have a type but then all of my friends pointed out that my last 3 girlfriends all looked exactly like Sheryl Crow! Anyway, music is ok her voice is great but overall a bit bland
Pretty good, but not a 4
> the Beatles
This was an enjoyable revisit. Overall the album is fun, Sheryl shows off that she can cover several genres relatively well. However, nothing in its entire 50 minutes runtime launches it out into the stratosphere as anything more than just "pretty good." In fact, if I'm being nitpicky, a couple of tracks felt shoved into the album that sorta killed the vibe, including "The Na Na Song." Solid 3.5/5.
The opening track was the highlight for me, but I think this stays at a 3 for me. Decent to listen to but nothing amazing.
Ovaj je album definicija riječi "meh". Prva pjesma je najmanje loša.
My girlfriend gave it made me turn it off because it was giving her a headache.
I thought there would be better songs on here. There's the All I want to do song but other than that it's meh. 3 stars.
I tried. I really tried. But since the first day I heard Crow her voice has just felt like fingernails on a chalkboard.
