Reviews (page 6 of 8)
She seems talented and some interesting stuff musically but her voice is not for me.
Fine background. Very sound of the 90s
No standouts for me. Pleasant enough but forgettable
Un dels debuts dels '90 per autonomàsia. 'All I Wanna Know' i 'Run, Baby, Run' són dos dels grans temes de la primera part de la década. La resta connecta amb l'esperit de creació del disc: llibertat de moviments, inspiració i la xispa d'un grup d'amics reunint-se cada dimarts per fer música i passar-s'ho bé
Listening to this transported me back to the 90s when all my problems seemed to be internal, rather than external. It's all over the place in that eclectic 90s, try everything and see what sticks, kind of way. Had only listened to her singles before, never a full album, so there were a lot of surprises for me.
It's competent and Sheryl Crow is a good performer/singer but it just in general doesn't speak to me much. I can see lots of folks into it though. This is quintessential 90s alternative for sure.
There were some good songs on this album.
Not a huge fan of this album. It's just ok.
This album is decent but in general isn’t my usual type of music. All I Wanna Do is a jam. I can respect her as an artist and believe she was very influential. I am happy to have listened to this album but I probably won’t revisit it.
All I wanna do is such a bop
"Tuesday Night Music Club" is the debut album by American singer-songwriter Sheryl Crow, although she did have a prior unreleased album. The album title comes from an ad hoc group of musicians who came together on Tuesday to work on the album and many of those people have song writing credits. As probably predicted after the success of the album many of these relationships unfortunately became acrimonious. The music is classified as pop, rick and blues. OK. The album took awhile to take off commercially which happened after the release of the fourth single "All I Want to Do." It reached #3 in the US and #8 in the UK. The first song and single "Run Baby Run" has piano and a slow guitar start which sounds directly off The Beatles' "White Album." Nice vocal chorus. It builds drama. Maybe my favorite song on the album. Semi-autobiographical about being born in the 1960's to hippie parents in a conservative time and running away from everything and everyone. Percussion, haunting keys and then an acoustic guitar begin "Leaving Las Vegas," the first song I remember from her. I always liked her strained and wobbly vocals. I would guess about getting away from the messes in your life. An acoustic guitar, bass and a simple love song in the fifth single "Strong Enough." An electric guitar riff opens the sixth and final single "Can't Cry Anymore." A pop stomping beat. Nice backing vocals. The Chicago Trribune compared this song to The Stones' "Honkey Tonk Woman." Hmmm, I'll have think about that. The second single "What Can I Do For You" has more of a drum beat, soft keys and a bluesy guitar. Sheryl almost whispers then shouts. A personal song about sexual harassment. "Hey, this ain't no disco" with the disco guitar kicks off "All I Want to Do." The songs lays into an easy pop groove and she sings about drinking beer in the morning, flicking matches into ashtrays and going to car washes. What if we had no point in life. Hey, what's wrong with doing what's she doing? Sounds like fun to me. The album ends with soulful "I Shall Believe." A hopeful song more in the R&B/pop category. I actually never had listened to album from start to finish but had heard most of these songs. The lyrics are strong some autobiographical, some stories. The songs are solid musically with elements of blues, country, pop, soul and rock. Back in the day I really had no interest in this album partly cause it was all over the place; today it sounded good.
Why do I keep getting these late 90s easy listening albums? Anyway, out of the last few of those I have gotten this is definitely the best. While some of them are not my cup of tea, I was definitely sold on this album by the end. "Strong Enough" and "No One Said It Would Be Easy" (great Mazzy Star/early Radiohead energy on this one) are great, but it also has its share of snoozers such as "The Na-Na Song". Great, heartfelt songwriting at its best, acceptable background music at its worst.
Pleasant enough, mostly middle of the road songs. Strong Enough and All I Wanna Do are good. I liked the backstory of the album and title, sounded fun.
kinda cool blues rock album standing out for sure
I didn't hate it like I thought I would. I wasn't really enthralled with it either. I remember hearing those huge hit singles on the radio all the time as a kid. All I Wanna Do is an interesting song but the chorus is ANNOYING. The other ones are better even if Leaving Las Vegas goes on a bit too long. A 2.5 bumped to a 3 because I have been singing "Are you drunk enough to eat this ham?" as parody for years, and that's gotta be worth something.
Surprisingly easy to listen to, might give it a second listen but the middle of the album was forgettable
All I Wanna Do is a great track, half decent album but not something I'll listen to again
Pretty good for what it is and definitely takes me back to a specific time in 90's history, but just not my style.
Estuvo bueno
I wanted to like this more than I did, as I believe she's generally underrated as a singer/songwriter. However, some of the deeper cuts on this album were aggressively bad (most notably The Na-Na Song). Best track: All I Wanna Do
Some good road-trip tunes
Sheryl Crow is pretty good. 3/5
Didn’t enjoy this as much as I thought I might. Maybe I needed another go around, but no time today - and not enough of interest to draw me back later.
I’d not heard this cd before. I own a greatest hits cd which contains 5 of these 11 songs - I think all 5 were singles & I liked them at the time, without feeling rapturous about Crow. But I found some stuff I quite liked among the other 6 tracks. I really liked the latin feel of Solidify. I loved the wacky Na Na Song (which sounds like a demented Subterranean Homesick Blues). The bass in No One Said It Would Be Easy is totally reminiscent of the Twin Peaks soundtrack, from around the same time. And she could be channeling Dian Kraal on the very jazzy We Do What We Can. Some of the stuff here is straight out of the Seventies Singer- Songwriter text-book. But she generally does okay with it.
I was going to say that I have mixed feelings about this album, but really the problem is that I don't have many feelings at all. Her voice is pleasant enough, with enough character that it isn't just bland. The songwriting is pretty highly skilled, without being overly flashy. Similarly, the band are really great players, and really well recorded. The sounds are more organic (real drums, prominent guitars, organ, piano, minimal synths and samples and no obvious protools edits) than much material recorded in the early 90s,. This means it hasn't dated quiet as much as, say, Alanis Morrisset or other contemporaneous pop music You can tell the songs and arrangements were work-shopped for a long time. the band is really comfortable with the material. It's laid back, but without losing focus. The collective writing and playing make this a pretty strong album, and it has a point of view (at least by way of contrast with most pop albums), But does it really have much to say? Success has many fathers, as they say, and there were public recriminations over who got appropriate credit when this came out. I suspect that few of the collaborators expected the album to do much, and were pretty pissed off when a woman got "all the credit" when it sold a bajillion copies. Ms Crow's ongoing success proves, I think, that she was not a mere puppet of this group. But this album is OK, but doesn't move me particularly. Certainly, there is nothing about it that I hate, but it inspires nothing stronger than a mild "like". Excerpt "All I wanna do"; that still feels liek a breathe of fresh air. I really like her conversational lyrics and flow, which feels a bit new. I have a jukebox 7" of "All I Wanna Do" b/w "If it makes you happy" which is probably the sum total of all the Sheryl Crow I will ever want or need. I really feel like this is a solid 2.5 stars, but I am going to tip over to 3 stars, based on the shit she copped from her collaborators, probably undeserved.
Better than I feared
Songs you know by heart.
Liked this one more than I thought I would! “All I Wanna Do” still sounds as fresh as it did in the 90’s and “Run, Baby, Run” makes me wanna sing in front of the mirror, but the 2nd half of the album loses steam and didn’t leave me with a super memorable impression. Not a fan of her ballads and I hope I never have to listen to “The Na Na Song” ever again.
Decent music. The last two songs were especially strong
Helt bra, solid 3
Much more laid back and mellow than I was expecting having heard the singles. Pleasant enough.
Decent, middle of the road tunes, well executed, but lacking in much that’s exquisite or particularly memorable. The whole thing is fine, just fine.
3.4/5 ok background folk music
Got some stuff ill revisit. Solid.
I really liked the direction this album headed in as it progressed, I really like it, and I'd be curious if I would love it upon repeat listens. 3.5/5
ощущения похожие как от кейт буш, но только лучше и голос приятнее и музыка бывает посложнее. кажется, что из этого родилась тейлор свифт и ван дирекшн. и еще забыла написать про предыдущий альбом. очень нравится голос мика джаггера и как же он любит петь про poor boy life…🫰🏼amen
Sheryl Crow has a fine voice, but the lyrics and song structure here don’t always match it. The popular singles are the definite highlights.
All of the radio hits on this record sound so much different than I remember them sounding when they were hits. The rest of the context of the record makes them all a lot more enjoyable. Definitely talented and a good record, just not really for me.
I was skeptical going into it, as it has all the genres keywords I'm not usually a fan of. But I ended up kinda enjoying it more than I thought
There are a few nice songs and she has the country singer’s raspiness that makes songs like “Leaving Las Vegas” work.
Fav tracks: Do what we can, All I wanna know, solidify. Deserves a 3
3 At the start of this I really was not enjoying myself, but around the third song in I started to buy into the sound. I don’t think it has much of an identity of its own though, bouncing around from Country to RnB to Pop and Jazz. I didn’t particularly care for a lot of the lyrics but for as many lyrics that I didn’t like there were just as many that I did. While I don’t see myself rushing out to listen again, I do think some of these songs will be refreshing when I’m in the mood for something different. Favorites: Strong Enough, Solidify, No One Said It Would Be Easy, All I Wanna Do, We Do What We Can, I Shall Believe
I expected to score this higher than I did. Crow really is an exceptional writer. The lyrics on this album show a depth and maturity that I just never expect from a debut album. It helps, I think, that Crow was 31 when she released this. She'd had enough real life experiences that these themes ring true. The main problem here is that the album just didn't age well. While Crow herself is stellar, most of the backing tracks are kind of ugly. Most of the album feels weirdly synthetic. But not in a slick, overproduced way. More of a rough, cheap plastic way. The drums on "Leaving Las Vegas" are particularly offensive which is a shame because it's such a good track otherwise.
Solid
J'ai bien aimé, surtout les moments tristes
un peu trop country sur les bords attention
Slow jazzy groves mixed with some uptempo songs. Overall pretty easy listen.
I am familiar with Sheryl Crow and I was familiar with a couple of songs. I do not ever say "I need to listen to Sheryl Crow." The album was relatively short which is good and I did not feel the need to skip any songs. Overall it is just kinda of meh. It is less than a 3 but more than a 2. I will round up.
This is pop as usual. Nothing much really. I like "No one said it would be easy" though.
couple classics
It was alright. I expected more.
Really enjoyed the album 3*
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 ...
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.
Cultura general
Dece 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
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.
It wasn't bad, but it has some weak points. And I can't stand the na-na song or whatever it's called.
Has some nice songs but nothing stood out 5/10
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
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.
I enjoyed it in a pop country-rock sort of way. But for me, it's only a 3 star
Mischung aus Pop, Folk, Rock. Eingängig aber langweilig. Würde am liebsten 2.5 geben. Ich bin gnädig und gebe mal 3.
Mediocre but not as terrible as I feared it would be. I'd give it a 2.5 but 3/5 is close enough.
Classic
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.
she has a good voice! her music was a little too slow and mellow for me but it was pretty.
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
В который раз убеждаюсь, что кантри лучше исполнять девушкам.
Better than expected, I think. I slept on Sheryl Crow when she was super popular but this album did change my mind on it.
Yeah. Ok.
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"
After the first song it is a rapid decline into retail monotony
Vaikka fiilistely ja levyn iskukyky jäi matalalle, niin tasalaadukas kokonaisuus silti miellytti
Some fun
Not for me...
Good listen, not my thing
Pas si mal, la fin sauve l’album car au debut je n’aimait pas vraiment. 3*
Delightful little debut album for Cheryl Crow.
Very listenable, some nice songs, instantly forgettable.
Very sad country-pop album I think
not a fan of this type of music in general but such a good throwback nonetheless. the songs are too long tho 6/10
Meh
Couple bangers, couple decent songs. Rest is trash.
Good singer, good voice. Very country
She has a nice voice that I like the sound off. It's a good mix of Ballards and pop songs. Enjoyable listen.
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.
It´s not good bu I like it
Never been much of a fan. It's okay I guess. I knew some songs. Rest just kind of in the background.
Favourite Songs: Run, Baby, Run & All I Wanna Do
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.
Ruth, can you see?
All perfectly well put together, a couple of nice tunes and a couple of wee crackers
Decent enough. I really like a couple of the songs.
Toffe plaat, verassend hoeveel nummers ik kende.
Niet onaardig, maar ook wel heel erg binnen de lijntjes en braaf.
3.5 stars
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
3.2 - A strong collection of 90s pop rock. No surprises.
I have always abhorred All I Want to Do. It's been decades now since it last infiltrated my radio all day and night at the height of its popularity but even today hearing it is an offense to my ears. Luckily, Sheryl has far better songs, some on this album even. The other singles from here are pretty good and Run, Baby, Run is catchy enough and well-put together that I figured it would be a hit. It's not a terrible album overall but just stop when it hits that All I Wanna Do as the rest aren't worth your while.
A lovely album of love and fun.
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.
Memory lane
I thought some songs were fun but as a collective, I wasn't super impressed. It's cool how there were parts of it that strayed from the more country rock stuff into more RnB.
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 .
early 2000s teen movie
This album was COOL
Solid! 3.7
Decent album, just nothing really memorable about it and the big singles aren't that great in my opinion
"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.
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.”
Yeah just straight up rock n roll, even if it's kinda lame. This is where it's at. 3/5.
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, not bad… pretty MOR but that’s the idea I think. Some nice bits along the way.
My first thought upon hearing this is that she really can’t sing. My second thought is that this is very generic rock pop music. My third thought is why?
Went in dreading this one. Then the first track was really good, and I thought "maybe I've been wrong about Sheryl". But, sadly, the first track was the only good one. This album is not special at all.
Música de gente blanca
Desperately bland and uninspiring. This is the safest album I have heard in a long time. Unworthy of a place on this list.
at the Tuesday night music club, wishing it was a different night or a different club
There’s something deep within this that I like. Probably because of my age and how I liked some cheugy singer songwriters of my own time. But what the hell was going on in the 90s. What the hell were they doing with drums in the 90s
Totally unremarkable album. Favorite Song: All I Wanna Do
Mrs. Crow får mycket skit, ibland befogad. Men att hon skulle vara nån universiell hackkyckling tycker jag är lite orättvist. Hon är sällan provocerande dålig, även om det förekommer ("Solidify"). Det är mest harmlös vit 90talsradiopop, väldigt typisk L.A. Det verkar som det var alldeles för lätt att få skivkontrakt i L A. sent 80tal, tidigt 90tal. Med risk för att låta sexistisk (inte menat så), är hon bättre ju kvinnligare hon låter och mindre Steve Earle light. Svag tvåa
Snoozefest 😴
Several things: 1. The album cover looks exactly like an ad for pants. Frankly, more than any ad for pants has ever looked. Look at it! Admit it, you want to buy some pants. 2. You (yes, you reading this!) can hire Sheryl Crow to come over and sing for you. Look on the internet: You can do this right now! She's ready to sing! Just for you! Right now! For $300,000. 3. I have many feelings about this album - it would honestly be easier if it had just sucked. To be clear: It does suck, it just doesn't JUST suck, so here we go ... 4. My almost certainly wrong and in any case completely unprovable theory about this album: In the 80's, Sheryl Crow was just a blue collar workin' gal in the show biz industry - a backup singer, small contributor to many well-regarded and a few famous albums. Met many insiders - did some good ol' fashioned networkin'. Along the way, she came up with - and I'm being precise here - good ideas for exactly 1.3 songs. Those songs became Leaving Las Vegas and the first verse of All I Wanna Do. She played or sang those for her buddy insiders who were (understandably) enthusiastic. "What else you got?" they asked her. Nuthin, just nuthin. 5. Thus was born the "Tuesday Night Music Club". The Tuesday Night Music Club was Sheryl and her buddies and their music company dudes and dudettes all gettin' together and doin' some good ol' fashioned jammin', just kickin' around some thoughtful, folksy lyrics, wearin' their denim jackets, denim jeans, denim underpants, carryin' around their acoustic guitars and acoustic socks. 6. Or, to be more precise, meeting in office building conference rooms with the record company Senior Vice President of Marketing and his/her marketing team, because the end product of it was this album of diluted, watery gruel: The best example of art-by-committee, everyone-gets-a-say, there-is-absolutely-no-heart-in-anything-on-here-whatsoever that I think I've ever heard. This album is ahead of its time, and I do not mean that in a good way. Everything except the 1.3 songs Sheryl contributed which are - sadly- quite good. 7. Part of my proof for this, by the way, is that there were apparently intense, nasty fights over who would get "credit" (very sarcastic quotes) for this thing after it somehow succeeded. That was entirely legit! Everyone who touched this thing is in here somewhere - at minimum, a smear of snot in the nasty sticky clumpy mass of boogers that is this album. 8. I listened to this walking around my neighborhood at 10:00 a.m. on a beautiful early September Sunday morning; first day of the NFL season. I was in a great mood. First few songs ... not bad, I remember Leaving Las Vegas and Can't Cry Anymore well, this is likely getting a 3 or 4. Then, Solidify. Well, that sucked but they can't all be winners. Then ... 9. The Na-Na Song. Holy shit. I'm 250 albums into this, and this is unquestionably the worst single song generated on here ... quite possibly the worst song I've ever heard. We Didn't Start the Fire, but somehow (how? how is this possible?) even worse. My theory: This was the last song contributed to the album, and was the idea of one of the company executives' significant other who just looooooves that nice Billy Joel. Everyone was exhausted and just vomited out this utter piece of garbage in about 90 seconds ("Someone come up with a name!" "G. Gordon Liddy!" "Gold!"). Fuck this fucking song - it makes me angry that it exists. 10. From there, every bit of grace I was inclined to give this album is gone. I was thinking worst case I might do a "Sheryl Crow is the Stone Temple Pilots to Liz Phair and Alanis Morisette's Nirvana" but that would be an insult, really, a huge slap in the face ... to the Stone Temple Pilots. 11. Then, I start thinking: What, exactly, is going on in some of these songs? For example, Strong Enough. Offhand, a harmless if unoriginal bit of longing, but, wait ... half the lyrics are "I'm empowered, and no matter what, you have to accept me for who I am", which is fine ... but then the other half ... "lie to me, I promise, I'll believe, lie to me, but please don't leave" ... the exact opposite. What is this song about? Pick a lane guys. Same with All I Wanna Do - first verse, Sheryl and some dude utterly down on their luck, day-drinking, wallowing in self pity ... cool, I like a good loser song and this one is catchy. But the next verse is all about a couple who comes into the bar and Sheryl and her buddy are nowhere to be found. Is this a loser song or Penny Lane-esque slice of life? This is part of what I mean when I say this album is pretty clearly the product of committee/marketing/test-group-think. Crazy annoying. So there's my rambling, incoherent screed. Again, if you can scrounge around in your couch cushions for a spare $300,000 or so you can call Sheryl up and she can play her heart out and prove me wrong. In the meantime, my dedicated team of executives and marketing personnel have thoughtfully and lovingly hand-crafted this bespoke 2 for you. That will be $300,000, please.
Just an average women singer with a few good tracks. Not quite sure I needed to listen to this before my demise
Would I buy this Sheryl Crow album? No. Would I recognize a Sheryl Crow song on the radio? Maybe. Would I be happy to hear Sheryl Crow on the radio? I couldn't care less. All I can say is the songs, the song material, the lyrics—it's so American, absolutely not my thing. Country rock crossover, who knows what. As for all this singer-songwriter nonsense, if significantly more people are involved in a song, that's something I don't know, but for me, this woman isn't a singer-songwriter.
There were moments where I thought it was finally going to get interesting, but it quickly went back to simple country rock.
Seth - 2/5 Logan - 2.5/5
Music made to play at the mall and the dentist in the mid 90s
Ok.
I listened to 12 tracks of the deluxe album- hopefully that was enough. It was enough for my ears. Decent enough guitar Melodie’s throughout but I started the album wanting Sheryl to give a little more- anger, heartache and pain all seemed missing and by the end of the album I thought if this was an Alanis Morisette album it would have been so much better because the above things would have come across! ‘Can’t cry anymore’ has guitar sounds that impress more than most of the album and a decent track lyrically to go with it… but what is with the claps.. and the poor vocalist a problem also.. annoying! Worst track- ‘Why should I’ ‘na na song’ and ‘we do what we can’ all terrible and how they have made a list of what we need to hear before we die is beyond my comprehension. For my spreadsheet it will be Na na song that takes the spoon! ‘No one said it would be easy’ was a nice track and my favourite on the album. ‘All I wanna do’ was fun but nothing special and I’m not sure how it had global success apart from its catchiness. Overall a below average 3.5/10 the 3 tracks taking .5 off each from an average middle of the road album otherwise.
Pop music is ok but nothing insanely good. This is a good listeanable album but nothing that changed my life
It’s fine. Not something I want more of
Another album on the list that had the one popular song. That song was catchy but not really good, rest of it was entirely mid.
i wouldn't guess this was early 90s because it has that late 00s quality and feeling to it, that was probably what i enjoyed the most about the record. this being very vocal heavy, i mostly couldn't care more for the musicality side of it for the most part, but i think she gave an ok performance. songs can either be fine ("run, baby, run" is i think my favorite and a bit tone distinct from the rest), annoyingly catchy (if there's one thing i came out thinking about this was that she is leaving las vegas), or just a dragger (i particularly dislike "what i can do for you").
Not really my vibe… some Springsteen-esque storytelling, one Beatles/Dylan “na na song”… and her big hit, “all I wanna do”.
On a Tuesday?
Monotonous
Formulaic songs. Hooks that outstay their welcome. She even tried funk.
Ok... I am listening to this on Tuesday night. I don't think this is for me to be honest. This is very millennial girl who is going to be okay and I don't know if that's maybe me. I need a pumpkin latte and a scarf. Potentially some skinny jeans as well. A moustache finger tattoo. Just dated as hell to be honest. And just kinda meh. No hate Sheryl. I don't think I need to have heard this before I die. Favourite: We Do What We Can Least favourite: No One Said It Would Be Easy
Annoying
I'm back! But not for this album... Found most songs quite boring and skipable but there were a couple I got really into and ofc I already knew the main one - very middle of the road for me!
I just cannot get into her. Very popular, but this doesn't do it for me. The thing is, I can sense some real talent. Not everyone uses it in a way I like. Hmmf. Just looked at the reviews, guess I'm not alone I was surprised to see it at 3.06. I'll bring it down just a touch with a 2.
Background retail music
Not really my thing. Had to force myself to finish it. Don’t think it will be particularly memorable for me either.
I thought I only knew All I Wanna Do, but it turned out I knew Run, Baby, Run, Leaving Las Vegas and Strong Enough too. That kind of points to my main issue with this album – it's nice enough when you're listening to it, but then it slips straight out of your head.
All I Wanna Do is pretty. damn. good. stream of consciousness lyrics like Suzanne Vega and a lovely Glen Campbell stomp for a backbeat. the rest, unfortunately does not live up to that but is too boring to nitpick so. it was okay. deserves to be one of the 1001? ehhhhhhhhhh
Sheryl’s break out album
Not for me.
I had no clue who Sheryl Crow was before listening to “Tuesday Night Music Club”—I initially thought this would be like a wannabe 90s pop star type of thing (and I wasn’t far off). It’s so funny that today is Tuesday and I listened to this at night, but it didn't change how I felt about the album. Holy all-in-one album. I heard some Beatles-type instrumentals in “Run, Baby, Run,” which I enjoyed, and then I heard “Ace of Base” type vocals, which I did not enjoy as much. And then at the end, she tried sticking some jazz and R&B in there? Just stick to one genre. This album stressed me out and went on for way too long; half of these songs could have been two or three minutes long. I’ll start my rant by saying that I really enjoyed “Run, Baby, Run,” and I really don’t understand why she didn’t just use those same vocals she used there in the later songs. As I listened on, I started noticing the pattern of great and beautiful instrumentals but horrid, strained vocals, and after doing some research, I could really tell that she played many instruments but didn’t take singing lessons. I feel like she was trying to brand her strained and uncomfortable vocals as unique (?) and advertise to the 90s teenagers who liked unconventional stuff. But listening to it now, I just cannot see the appeal, even in “All I Wanna Do” (I know it’s one of those chill, fun songs, but somehow, I just cannot listen to it). One thing I did enjoy about this album was how it was so laid back, but maybe TOO laid back because it was, as I mentioned before, a little bit of everything. I really hope I get a somewhat listenable album next, but I’m glad I at least got to experience the weirder side of 90s music. 2/5
Just not my bag at all sorry Chezza, like it's totally fine music, there's just nothing particularly distinguishing about any of this. it's the middlest of the middle of the road I think I've ever heard. All I Wanna Do is fun tho.
Surprisingly wasn’t into this one! All I Wanna Do is a certified banger but the majority of the other songs were just fine.
I feel like this is exactly what you get when a record exec wants a generic female singer-songwriter sound. It's just a boring album overall, and it really struggles to keep your attention. I've heard "All I Wanna Do" a million times growing up in the 90s, but really listening to it now, the pedal steel is pretty damn good on that track. I also don't know if this was by design and I don't care to research it, but "The Na Na Song" heavily reminds me of "Give Peace a Chance" with that rapid-fire, semi-chanting of words.Beyond those couple of moments, the rest of the tracklist just falls completely flat. The production feels way too safe and polished, stripping away any real edge or grit that could have made these songs stand out. Most of the deep cuts just drag on and blend into the background as uninspired pop-rock filler. Sheryl Crow clearly has a solid voice, but the songwriting here relies so heavily on standard mid-90s radio tropes that the album ends up feeling formulaic and dated. It works fine as harmless background music, but it lacks the distinct personality or memorable hooks to make it something worth revisiting.
Pretty white bread boring production and nothing that really caught me until the last couple songs Highlights: "We Do What We Can", "I Shall Believe"
I liked this a lot when it came out. I don’t so much feel that way anymore. Her voice has become a bit piercing, maybe shrill is a better word, at many points. I don’t hate it, but I’m definitely not looking to listen to it again anytime soon.
A couple decent tracks here and I’ll give Crow some credit, she has some songwriting chops. Unfortunately, this is a 50 minute album and most of it is boring, this was a slog. 50 mins of Crow is far too much… one could say it’s a murder… I’m dead. 2 stars
Oh this was so bland and boring. Just the most radio friendly beige nothingness music. I ended up skipping chunks of songs and went back to listen to my last band, Pere Ubu, because they actually sound like something and are trying to do something with their music
2 out of 5. Not my cup of tea.
Not really made for a man in his 60s. Just background noise until we come to the na na song what a load of annoying noise. Was looking at a banal 3 that song knocks it down a point.
I kinda liked Run Baby Run tbh
She definitely went on to make a name for herself, so I was surprised how lackluster this debut was. Her voice is super shaky and the song arrangements are often dull at best. Perplexing why this was included if you ask me.
old taylor swift?
"All I Wanna Do" goes against everything I believe in.
The behind the scenes drama in the making and promoting of this album is more interesting than the music itself. Strong Enough still really goes hard though.
Annoying, and the few songs that are good are really cheesy. Not for me.
Serviceable pop. Why is this on the list though?
I never sat down and actually listened to her before, but this is not bad at all. Don't get me wrong - this is not my cup of tea at all, but quite descent after all, might even get 3 stars.
90s kitchen music
I've never heard this record before the last couple of days, but the singles were fairly inescapable. Listening to it, its pretty clear that this is a product of some pretty talented musicians who have a good grasp of roots music and a production team that knows how to package and update that sound. Crow is a talented singer and fairly strong songwriter. I tended to prefer the slower songs. It's also just too slick for my tastes and I'm almost certain to listen to it again.
3 good songs and the rest are generic and sound the same, except the one where she talk-raps stream of consciousness culture nonsense. That song sucks.
Tempted to give it 5 as Arsenal just won the league after 22 years but it was pretty rubbish so a 2 it is.
If you looked to ‘middle of the road’ in the dictionary you might find a picture of Sheryl Crow. Bland, boring, and derivative. Nothing was hideous enough to make me want to turn this off straight away but the whole thing just grated. Bongos (‘solidify’) and guiro (‘all I wanna do’) are interesting choices to feature predominantly, along with pedal steel guitar but I did not enjoy it.
Crow is a great songwriter and musician. That being said, I thought i world enjoy this more. It felt really bland to me
medio lope
I thought I liked Cheryl Crow. I think I just like one song....
Testing My Patience Music Club
i actually hate it. i’m sorry
Sheryl Crow has to be one of my favorite guilty pleasure artists as I think she has an absolutely fabulous 4 album run and Tuesday Night Music Club is the beginning of that very strong start she got herself off to. Not even a huge Country guy like that, but there is something about her sometimes cheesy, but loads of fun Country Rock style that really wins me over. I think because this is Sheryl's debut album that it is definitely a bit weirder and wacky at times like with the very Talking Heads-esc Solidify. Even still with that novelty put aside, this project still is a blast even if it is far from the best thing I've ever heard. All I Wanna Do, Run Baby Run, and We Do What We Can are all my highlights of this project, but everything else here does feel a bit flat in presentation and honestly a bit lifeless. Now I can still totally turn on this album and jam out but as a whole it does come off a bit rough and is held up by some killer highlights. It is a nice start for Sheryl that really helped secure her Pop appeal in Country Rock, but I think some of her next projects showcase her skills much better even if they are sprinkled all over this album.
This isn't really for me, I was hoping for a pleasant surprise, however... It's all a bit meh, vocal way to high in the mix, sounds like song writing by committee for a rom com TV series that is written by committee and isn't funny. Some splashes of talent and her voice packs punch and range.
Glad to have listened to it… but won’t listen again.
Ofantligt trist, men inte så hemskt att det förtjänar en etta
Bra sångerska men inte särskilt intressant musik.
Bra röst men rätt trött i övrigt
This gal is known to me for 2 (At least 2! Vaguely remember a 3rd or even 4th?) of the most kick-off-your-shoes, let-your-hair-down, feel-good, happy-go-lucky, “guilty pleasure” fun, carefree, dancin-est songs in all of pop music. There’s only one of them on this album tho. Dig the slow jazzy cut too. Otherwise unremarkable. Two stars.
unfathomably mid and genuinely a hard listen at some points. just like weird country slop but it wasn't even country.
Album #137 Sheryl Crow: Tuesday Night Music Club I feel like Sheryl Crow is one of those names that I would just hear referenced from either millennials I knew or millennial media, and I just accepted that she was famous and never paid it any mind; meanwhile, I don’t think I could have ever named a song by her. Obviously, now I realize I was aware of her through the hit song from this album, “All I Wanna Do”, but I can’t say that anything else here was familiar. This was actually a fair bit better than I expected it to be, an interesting blend of genres, from country to pop and even jazz. There are some definite standout tracks here, but what really holds the album back is the middle stretch. I think the first and last three tracks are all pretty good to great, but the middle five do nothing for me. Overall, as far as the whole '90s pop-country thing goes, I’ve never really been a fan; however, this album was actually quite good for what it is. Best Songs: Leaving Las Vegas, All I Wanna Do, I Shall Believe Worst Songs: The Na-Na Song Score out of 10: 5.5
Hmmm I enjoyed this good music but I don’t know didn’t really ever expand beyond that it’s palatable, I liked “we do what we can” just cause it was something different yeah those last 2 songs where the best
File under “easy listening”. Absolutely fine. Standout is obviously “All I Wanna Do” but I still think that’s only because of the hook she nicked off Stealers Wheel
One hit album, nemam ništa drugo za reći. 2/5, 3/10
Plodding, excruciatingly dull. This is not an album I needed to listen to.
I would’ve been feeling this more had I been a middle aged white woman in the mid 90s.
4/10
Felt the last few songs were the best, up to that the songs were fine but nothing special, it's an easy listen but not amazing
This record sucks. I remember half of the songs on this record when they were popular 30 years ago, and time has not been their friend. It’s sort of like Sheryl Crow started to write some boring songs and then brought them to the studio where some producer finished the job. But the result is a bunch of completely gutless radio fodder. To be fair, this collection of uninspired and lightly feminist drivel WAS wildly popular in 1993. But I see this as a case where a million people can be wrong. Sheryl Crow doesn’t have a great voice and she doesn’t write compelling music, but she is easy on the eyes. The cynic in me believes this has more to do with why she got so popular than the content of her actual work, which is just so, so boring. 4.5/10
All I wanna do is have some fun. But the album isn't that good to begin with. The big single is worth the ticket to the list, but nothing else reaches that high.
Rating: 4/10 Not the best for me. Lots of singer-songwriter material I would rather reach for than ever listen to Sheryl Crow. A grating country rock style that's kinda cornball. A few decent songs at the beginning. The songs are a little too drawn out and hurt the pacing more. Even All I Wanna Do is annoying. The album ends with a moody lounge-y piano tune that I don't like and an ok closer that doesn't save the last 50 minutes of mild suffering
Wasn't really expecting to see Sheryl Crow on this list
Interesting if I was into folk rock.
There were a couple of songs that weren't bad/I didn't expect but in general I really don't like Sheryl Crow's music
Shoutout to Sheryl Crow for making Lightning McQueen's hype song, but boy was this some basic pop. All the flavour of plain chicken and rice. Solidify was the only standout. Overall, a fine album, but for the 1000 most influential you'd think they were years ahead of this.
I really liked how she incorporated jazz, disco all into folk rock and country but I only liked a few songs on here and it felt very lack luster.
Safe and inoffensive. Not much about this album stood out to me. The blues-y and funky songs were cool, but otherwise it's kind of... whatever. Not bad by any means, but I suppose it's kind of hard to make a bad album when you do half of your record by the books, and only the other half attempts to do something interesting. I'm also absolutely for fun, feel-good and dreamy pop, but I prefer when those songs draw you in with their aesthetic. This record just kind of sounds like background music. 2/5.
Not my thing. "Strong Enough" and "All I Wanna Do" are tolerable.
1 o 2 canciones medianamente pegajosas cuando mucho. 2.3
Leaving Las Vegas was painful to listen to… and not a good way. I’ve always thought I disliked Sheryl Crow and now can confirm it through direct experience.
Like a sad bad version of a good liz pair record. Not for me.
I’ve always heard bits and pieces of songs from Sheryl Crow, but never got around to listening to her. Seeing the cover and after listening to the album, it feels like the 2010’s. Not in a particularly bad way, but still…not my favorite music to listen to. There are definitely some standout tracks, like Strong Enough and Run, Baby, Run. Still, as the album progresses and shifts between tracks, it leans more into the 90’s soft rock by the end. Still, her voice can bring an issue. She, in a way, reminds me of Alanis Morissette, with the quality and technique in their voices. Still, she seems to shout at times while she’s singing, which isn’t really my style. But, though I do like some songs, this album wasn’t for me, but I certainly see the appeal! For me, it also became a bit repetitive with the familiar guitar on every track. Not bad, but eh.
Dated
I was hopeful. I never minded "All I Want to Do", but had never listened to the rest of this album. It's not good.
I mean... why is this here? There's nothing that really stands out. It feels very much like a product of its time. There's nothing offensively bad or anything, but also nothing worth noting. It's ok, but it's pretty pointless. I mostly feel disappointed.
Boring, all i wanna do is ok, but say car wash one more time I dare you also: wasn't watching spotify and then a songe came where I thought "hey that one is cool i know that", but i'm afaid that was the first song after this album was through
Zzzzzzzzzzzzz
Album #34, Sheryl Crow, Tuesday Night Music Club ⭐⭐ A 90s album with some of the worst 90s pop tropes. This actually starts off very strong. Sheryl has a good voice, her lyrics didn’t initially offend, and it’s a kind of heartland rock, Americana pop style that I was enjoying. The first four tracks really set the album up as a solid alt-country experience. She’s no Lucinda Williams, but it felt like it was heading in a direction I liked. Then Solidify comes on and it all deteriorates very quickly. Once the beats get bigger, the quality drops. Run, Baby, Run is a no, no, no. Sheryl is rapping on this and it just feels desperate. We have a slight return to her roots on No One Said It Would Be Easy, but the chorus is so unbelievably clichéd that it completely distracts from the emotional weight of the song. I’ll give her some props for What I Can Do for You. It’s a brave song, and the sleaziness of the character she’s playing genuinely makes me uncomfortable, so that one works. All I Wanna Do is okay. We’ve all heard it a million times, so I’m already jaded by it. My gym plays it constantly. I can understand why it was a hit, but it’s one of my least favourite forms of 90s pop, that white-rapping-trying-to-be-cool style. And then We Do What We Can, a foray into lounge jazz. At this point I just didn’t care for it. It feels like she’s throwing everything at the wall to see what sticks. There’s a slight return to form for I Shall Believe, but by then all my goodwill is gone. Not for me, this one
it’s the 90’s. Your mom’s chain smoking cigs in her trailblazer. She just served your dad papers. You’re in the KFC drive thru ordering a 5 dollar bucket. Mom is singing this with the windows down and has never looked happier. Brothers in here saying this is the female Tom Petty. I don’t see it. This is just divorced mom rock. This is one of those albums that FEELS like it’s time. This is so 90’s coded. I kinda mess with it actually. Fav tracks: Na Na Song, Solidify
Na 3x All I Wanna Do ben ik er nog steeds niet uit. Is dit nou een lekkere catchy nineties pleasure of toch een foute afgezaagde poprock plaat? Die twee smaken liggen soms dicht bij elkaar en Sheryl Crow heeft een nummer gemaakt dat precies op die grens balanceert. Ik kom er niet uit. De rest van het album is rootsrock maar gaat zo nu en dan wat heen en weer tussen verschillende genres. Dat zorgt dan wel voor een interessante luistersessie. Alles bij elkaar kon ik het dus niet al te goed plaatsen. Ik heb geen enkel nummer opgeslagen en ook All I Wanna Do is in geen enkel lijstje terecht gekomen, ondanks de hitstatus. Ik kom tot de conclusie dat het me teveel aan Stealers Wheel (Stuck in the middle) en the Steve Miller Band (the Joker) doet denken. Rootsrock... 6/10 Highlights We Do What We Can
Not too shabby. Never heard of her. I liked Run Baby Run and Solidify.
Just average pop rock. 5.9/10
I can't really place this type of music.
it was eh
Eh I kind of didn't prefer these vocals, and the lyrics were not interesting enough to make up for the relatively bland instrumentals. Yes, this is a well-produced album, but it ain't my thing. 2/5
Listening to all of it shows my commitment to this. What a slog.
It's a pop record with some tinges of other things. For the most part, the songs are rather disposable. They are well-produced and I understand why they were hits. I just don't like them very much.
Run, Baby, Run // All I Wanna Do // 2.5/5
En jaksanut kuunnella loppuun. 1,75/5.
Boring
Highly inconsequential. Just incredibly mediocre, this was boring background music
Basic
Ca a dépassé mes attentes inexistantes.
2 and a half. Some decent tunes
I wanted to like it but I didn't so I'm sorry crowgirl
It's aight, not exactly life changing.
Favorite Track: Run, Baby, Run
very basic, some songs are boring or annoying, although i liked "run, baby, run", "we do what we can", "i shall believe", 2
Sadly, All I Wanna Dois really the only good song on this.
All I Wanna Do is obviously well-regarded for a reason, but just about the entire rest of this album is split between slow ballad-y stuff I actively dislike, and Momcore Chunes For Your Workday Commute that if I heard them at a restaurant or bar I would never even clock that music was playing
Sheryl Crow is in her 60s now and that is upsetting. Anyhow it is sort of generic jangle guitar in the first half, and then gets more interesting in the second half, and is very pleasant even if I never got really excited.
It was fine
This isn't awful but I feel like an album like this is why people wanted Napster so they could just get singles without having to pay C$20
Run, Baby, Run- Wasn't a huge song for me, good chorus, but an eh for me Leaving Las Vegas- at times the voice makes me cringe, sounds forced, this songs pretty basic wouldn't come back to this Strong Enough- Like the finger picking acoustic intro, not a fan of her voice at this point 3 songs have passed now and nothing is memorable out of the bunch, I see all i wanna do is up next which i know and like but aside from that it's not been my favorite
I like Sheryl Crow, but this album is not my favorite. The sings felt very repetitive.
Never listened. Expectations: Low - Verdict: Not For Me - I expected to really dislike this. I think Sheryl Crow was a name that I had heard without really knowing much about her. Much better than expected with a couple songs I would absolutely listen to.
Very bland
Pretty boring and a drag to get through.
Meh.
i can appreciate the role she played for women in 90’s music, but overall, not a very interesting album
The famous song is good. The rest of the album not so much.
hmmmmm, one iconic song from the album. honestly not my vibe but still a good album something about this album just didn't click for me, maybe it was the melodies but I wish it did because I wanted to like it
Yeah, two cool songs on this, the rest kinda mediocre. From all the easy listening female vocalist albums that have passed. Sheryl Crow warms my heart the least
I didn’t mind this, but mildly admiring an artist’s efforts at asserting themselves musically doesn’t make it more enjoyable. Very average but nothing especially wrong with it, after a recent poor run I guess I’m chalking it up as a draw.
I mean I guess
If Rod Stewart was a woman he would be called Sheryl Crowe. Most of this album was forgettable except for the last two songs, those felt more sincere
some nice moments but generally a little too mom-jeans for me; also the album title and cover art are fucking awful.
Not for me, felt quite boring, it sounds like something you'd hear in a grocery store. One interesting song : solidify. 2/5
We gave this a reluctant listen at 3:AM on January first. I just wasn't expecting to be wowed by Sheryl Crow, I couldn't name a song of hers, and after listening to this record I still can't. It was a bad idea to give this a listen on my phone's speakers, it strips too much away from the experience. A listen on some decent earbuds and at least it's not terrible. The overall production is pretty top notch honestly, smooth and well executed. It's pop rock, I think the appeal leans heavy on the songwriting and that aspect didn't click with me, either. 1.7/5
++: Solidify, What I Can Do For You, All I Wanna Do, We Do What We Can +: Run Baby Run, Leaving Las Vegas, Can't Cry Anymore, The Na-Na Song, I Shall Believe +-: Strong Enough, No One Said It Would Be Easy 5,5/10
Blah
Sorry Sheryl I am busy Tuesday nights
2.5
A couple of okay songs but mostly quite boring
All I wanna do is a bop, but rest of the album isnt my cup of tea.
not for me
I have to say, this albums greatest accomplishment is that it made me have a ton of respect for Sheryl Crow. I didn’t have a strong opinion o her one way or another and if you asked me what her biggest hit song was that made her a household name I couldn’t tell you what it was. But I did think going into this album that I probably wouldn’t like it. And for the most part that was accurate, but the album had its moments as well. The biggest being the huge hit song on this album “all I want to do” which I definitely remember being everywhere when I was a kid and in fact I remember hearing it at amusement parks on vacation as a kid. But it’s really catchy and endearing, it’s genuinely a great song. The other two songs I liked a lot were strong enough and Solidify. The later of which is really impressive, it not only shows the variety of sound on this mom-pop album and also shows the risks she was willing to take on this album cause this is a HUGE left turn sonically. It almost sounds like it might be a joke throwaway song but it’s actually one of if not the best song on the album. But yah the real problem is that this album is just so boring as a whole. It’s just a mom-pop album and it’s pretty bland but here and there it has its moments.
radio-friendly, lightweight
Lite småtrevlig kompetent popmusik, men krossar väl inga regimer direkt. Svag tvåa.
Spontan känsla två låtar in: för mycket popcountry-brutta-jill-Johnson för mig. Ok, solidify var lite fet. Några bra och hittiga låtar, men forgetable.
Jag vet inte riktigt hur jag ska bete mig här. Det är ju… Hmm. Extremt tråkigt. Men jag tänker att sån här musik ändå uppfyller någon form av syfte. Passar bra strömmandes från en cdspelare i sommarstugan. Tänkte att jag inte heller blir lack men sen kom The Na-Na song och då blev jag lack ändå. Inte Johnny Sack-lack. Men lite småsur.
Pointe-Calumet Core. Pécerie Core.
Not a fan.
Not for me
1st half good. 2nd half bad.
Imagine being Bonnie Rait in 1993, she's been working for like 20 years and then she hits gold with 90's divorced moms and then this young whippersnap comes out of nowhere with 'Strong Enough'. I don't know how I feel about Sheryl Crow, I don't know if I needed to hear her music before I died. I just happened to hear it because of the years that I lived. The lyrics on the 'na na song' were pretty good in the microgenre of "songs where people just unleash a flurry of topical stuff that rhymes". I'm somewhere between 2 and 3 stars.
Not the worst thing ever but the very clean production on this doesn't do it any favours 2.5*
This was boring. It's telling that no one really noticed the album until the 4th single was released. Sherly is about the most "average" pop star I can think of.
This woman has an amazing knack of making every single song go on just a bit longer than it should. Every track outstays its welcome, to the point I figure she must be doing it on purpose. It's all quite inoffensive, but really quite dull.
Not my style
While Sheryl has made some decent and catchy pop hits, I don't find her wider music particularly great. This is still a very decent debut album, but I am not the biggest fan of these tracks or her voice.
This is mostly music meant for grocery stores, but it still has its moments.
Mir gefällt die Stimme nicht.
This sucks shit
I’m certainly not the target audience for this one. It’s competent and varied enough that I can’t give it one star but I this one was a bit more of a chore than usual. 3/10
I mean, it's a pop rock record that aims for the mainstream so of course (almost) all the hits are at the front while the rest is packed by filler songs that are just there to fill the air. But that doesn't matter because all that was needed was a couple of big hits to sell massive amount of CDs and that's what we have here. Too bad I'm not interested in the hits either.
She doesn’t sound good in the album. Could be the production or her techniques. Music wise it’s just ok. Nothing too special. Poppy but not catchy. Pretty mediocre for me.
It was alright. I liked some songs, didn’t like others. “All I Wanna Do” obviously has a banging chorus, but the song as a whole is pretty clunky. A little bit disappointed with this one.
There are a few decent songs on here, but also a few stinkers (Na Na is one of them). And Crow seemed to ditch these guys that collaboratively made this music as soon as she was famous, which doesn't seem entirely cool
In principal I really like a lot of female solo vocalist’s and apart from Peter Gabriel, a lot more than their male counterparts. Unfortunately this does not apply to Sheryl Crow. This album not a complete disaster as it’s made up of quite a few different genres. Enough to make it stand out and I can see why it’s on the list. A once through listen was not wasted time but if asked to listen again would have to say I’m washing my hair. 2/5 1/11/25
The singles are the highlights, and those highs aren't even that high. It gets nostalgia points, but it isn't exactly pushing any boundaries.
The instruments used here were grating to the ears. The vocals did not really help either. Favourite Track(s): Solidify, We Do What We Can Least Favourite Track(s): Leaving Las Vegas, The Na-Na Song, No One Said It Would Be Easy
nah
Deserves to be on the list. Very much not aimed at me. Too smug and aloof from pop
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.
Even my local grocery store plays more interesting music than this nowadays
It was kinda boring honestly but I guess I only listened to like 3 songs so that's probably part of it.
Didn't dig it.
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
Best Track - "All I Wanna Do"
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.
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.
