Tuesday Night Music Club

Sheryl Crow is the reason I support hip hop in the rock and roll hall of fame. Missy Elliott is 100x the rock star that this generic soulless country blues hack is. “All I Wanna Do” is probably the most insipid word salad of a song of the early 90s. Far from being a song you must hear before you die, I would believe you if you said hearing it is what made Kurt Cobain kill himself. The night sky would be vantablack if it contained the star rating that song deserves. So that's the starting point. From the very first “this aint no disco,” it's just such a stilted nothing of a song. Anything else sort of already has to improve it, right? And as that goes, it does. Even in the moment, I didn't understand how “Leaving Las Vegas,” rhythmically challenged and flat as her vocals are on it, Joker-adjacent as the riff is, wasn't a bigger hit. It's the same non-culture, trading her shitty dive bar and thick fingered dullard companion for the equally uninteresting world of the soulless gambling mecca. “Strong Enough,” similarly, was the overplayed and unremarkable sound of tired gender roles. Again, this is something I recognized as a pre-teen. It's a better composed song than most of the songs here, but it doesn't really say anything. Honestly, this is at its best when it sounds most like the bar band you ignore when you're grabbing drinks with your friends. "Can't Cry Anymore” still pushes the limits of Crow's truncated vocal range, but it doesn't try to be more than a bar song. Nor does “Run Baby Run,” again a song that feels like a local band. It's low expectations music and it manages to meet them admirably. “No One Said It Was easy” just… is. That's all I want from this style. It's not gonna be memorable, but that's OK. But more often than not, this finds new and interesting ways to be repellent. The petulent whine of “Solidify” is surprising even compared to her worst work. I never could have imagined that Crow wrote a worse song than “Soak Up The Sun,” but she really went for it by putting “solidify” and “the na-na song” back to back, the latter sounding like a cursed misunderstanding of Subterranean Homesick Blues. There are not many worse two song runs on a multi-platinum album. By the time we get to “All I Wanna Do,” and describing a day so banal and stupid that you couldn't get me to admit to it with thumbscrews, you actually are a little relieved. The Devil You Know, right? Mercifully ending with two boring songs is a true kindness from Crow. There is a two-star EP hiding in here. But there is too much absolutely unlistenable stuff here for it to climb above ⭐️. The Generator gaveth 5 four-star or better albums in a row. And the generator taketh away.

Like chugging a litre of beige paint. Just off the top of my dome, this was released the same year as Emmylou Harris' Cowgirl's Prayer, and the Breeders Last Splash if you, dear reader, need a palate cleanser, or two 🍻

At the end of the first song, I really didn't have any complaints. I didn't have any expectations going in, but I like country music, so I didn't think it could be bad. The end of the first song got annoying though. And that's true for every song on the album. They go on much longer than they need to and it gets way too repetitive and annoying. And then, to make matters worse, this is maybe bottom 5 vocal performances I've heard on the list so far. The only redeeming factor is the very basic and inoffensive instrumentals

not for me

Boring music club.

Perfect for anyone who thinks the music in the local garden centre is too edgy.

Wow, just wow. Not a good wow, a bad wow. Sheryl Crow obviously had fun making this album, she has good energy, I'll give her that. But the whole thing sounds like a poorly made cover album. If Sheryl Crow worked more on each song, and made them seem less like poor covers or rough drafts, the album could have had some value. Overall, not a good album.

🎵All I wanna do🎵 🎵is skip this album🎵

I thought Sheryl was good. Dang this is mid.

No.

I always feel bad disparaging these albums but this just wasn't for me :(

Shite

Why would you include the debut album of someone who is almost exclusively known for the handful of extremely catchy radio hits from her second album? All I wanna do is the only one on here that made a mark. It's perfect fine pop rock with a tinge country twang and high spec 90s production, but none of the songs rise above pleasant background padding.

Wander around Lidl for a few hours and you'll hear 100 songs that sound exactly like this

oh weh, naja immerhin https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dK9eLe8EQps the first cut is deepest cover gefunden..c

Not a challenging thing about this album. It was inoffensive, easy listening rock for the soft tune radio fans. It wasn’t a grating or terrible listen but I don’t really understand why it was on this list. Dull.

I kind of think of this album as background music for like a coffee shop in a book store so the first time I put it on I absorbed maybe 15% of it at best. Trying to listen more intently now... Run, Baby, Run is ok. Leaving Las Vegas sucks, and Strong Enough sucks and has a toxic message. Everyone has heard "All I wanna do" to the point that I don't even know if it qualifies as music. Ok, got it, this album was created by scientists to make people more likely to complete their Abercrombie & Fitch purchases. I decided this is where I am going to put my first 1. For a moment I paused and thought “is this internalized misogyny? The first female artist our group has reviewed gets a 1? Is it actively actually all that bad when compared with other comparable female artists of this era?” But then after this album finished the algorithm put on a track from Alanis Morissette. I think I’d give Jagged Little Pill a 3-4 minimum, maybe even a 5. Tuesday Night Music Club gets a 1 because it isn’t essential listening. You can die without having listened to it.

pretty bad..

industry crap

I really hate this style of music. Couldn’t do it. 1/5

nah

Nä det är för trist asså.

J'ai pensé que j'allais aimé. Je me suis trompée.

Influences of Stevie Wonder, make it little more country pop, overproduce, and you have a result of something utterly boring. All I Wann Do Is have some fun, and this was not it.

She looks like a nice person, but I'm sorry, this sucks.

Heartland pop/rock from 1993? I'm sorry for Sheryl, but I can't.

Sheryl Crow can't sing. The last 3 songs aren't all that cohesive but they're the only ones worth listening to. 1.4 outta 5

Never heard of this album or artist before. If I'm to judge this album by the cover like a true critic, I'd guess that I'm in for a country affair. Rock - that's a surprise. Anyways, this album stinks. The songwriting does not gel with the instrumentals at all, which leaves the album sounding pretty airheaded and frustrating. The vocals are the key problem with this. I'm sure Sheryl Crow is a talented vocalist, though the way in which she sings does not work at all. Any ounce of authenticity has been sawed off and smoothed out into a pretty awful, overproduced final product. The instrumentals are also pretty stale and unremarkable - especially in the guitar department. I wish there was more of a reason as to why I don't like this album, though these problems are persistent enough to the point where they completely ruined my enjoyment. "Solidify has a decent bass guitar hook. The percussive sound is decent, though the vocals are annoying as ever. "No One Said it Would Be Easy" is a track I can appreciate. I like the lower energy when compared with the rest of this album's offerings, and the moody, reverberating guitar is pretty good. "All I Wanna Do" kind of sucks dick. I'm surprised it was a hit. The country and blues sound do not gel with one another at all, and the vocals are rambling and discordant during the verses. The chorus is decent, though that's the only thing really going for this song. Book time. Sold well and won a few awards. Not convinced yet - off to Wikipedia I go. Has a decent critical reception. Yeah, I'm snubbing this one. In place of this album, I humbly submit Pinkerton by Weezer for inclusion on the list.

Listened to two songs, and her singing is not making me happy.

This music is for someone but that someone is not me

I just can’t with this 90s Mom rock.

Not really for me. All I Wanna Do is listen to something else! 1.5/5

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

Turd

Gimme that annoying 90s sound and SCALE IT TO THE MAX!

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.

1. Run - 1.5 2. Vegas - 1 3. ztrong - 1 4. cry - 1.5 5. zolidify - 0 6. nana - 0 7. eazy - 1.5 8. can - 1 9. uuanna - 1.5 10. uue - 2 11. believe - 1.5

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!

Bullshit!

this is what i imagine white suburban moms put on blast, just not for me

Slow, boring country tinged Pop Rock.

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.

This is just not my thing Brings back weird memories of choir in middle school

Not my thing but Strong Enough has a sweet tune. Quit after that one.

Oh fuck why I she wailing like that? The music doesn't even call for it

not my kind of thing so i don't really know

I tried. I really tried. But since the first day I heard Crow her voice has just felt like fingernails on a chalkboard.

Varsin keskinkertaista, tai jopa aika huonoa. Ei tällainen kahden markan Alanis Morrisette kyl purase. 1/5

I listened to two songs and got interrupted. Paused the album and when I came back, I really, really didn’t want to jump back in. Probably unfair of me, but there’s a new album everyday and I don’t want to drag whatever’s next just to finish an album I wasn’t enjoying in the first place.

No

Who told this woman she could sing?

Yet another album where I actively dislike the song I used to have in rotation because of the tracks I had to slog through to get to it. All I Wanna Do is a solid, jangle-y pop rock tune with a neat enough slide guitar riff to get by, but it cannot save the rest of this album and its horrendous pacing, instrumentation, and frankly, just plain lack of pleasure. Every song lags behind itself to ensure the album drags for as long as possible, and even when there is some glimmer of hope, it is immediately squashed so that Sheryl Crow can warble over some other snooze fest. Most of the album I was figuring it would scrape by doing nothing to truly anger me to the point of a one-star, but that final track would NOT END. There's a solid minute or two of her barely audibly singing the name of the song, and it is infuriating beyond belief, and completely ensured I never want to hear a song by Crow again, because if this is the best popular music had for singer-songwriters, I can't imagine what sums up the state of pop music any better in the early 90s.

Not for me 👎

Jeg lå faktisk på en 2'er det meste af vejen, for det lød fint nok selvom det er kedeligt og ikke hører hjemme på listen, men det der fake jazz nummer og 2 minutters "I shall.. believe...." der lukker det sidste nummer irriterede mig simpelthen for meget. Hvad laver du her Sheryl!! #hatergruppen

Måske lidt harsh, for den her plade gør godt nok INGEN fortræd, men kæft det var kedeligt

Decent songs, but this is so boring :(

What? No, please no. Just fuck off, the absolute worst of overplayed 90s ear worms Sheryl Crow is. If you're going to be nostalgic about the 90s, be nostalgic about Beck, Lauryn Hill, Radiohead, Smashing Pumpkins, Sinead O'Connor, Whitney Houston, Nirvana, Notorious or so so so many others.

Jesus christ.

Uninteresting

Her voice is grating and the songs are boring

Overproduced waste of bandwidth. This album has all the edge of a billiard ball. The vocals have the grit of a piece of wax paper. The lyrics have the depth of a kiddie pool. 1 totally rebellious beer at noon on a Tuesday out of 5 🍺

Boring, not my vibe, pain in the butt to get through. 1/5

I was going to give it 2 stars, mostly on the middling strength of All I Wanna Do. But then I read about how many people she's offended.

1 - The hit is okay, but everything else was sooo aggravating and repetitive. It should show how much I disliked the rest of the album if I don't even hate the hit and I still gave it a 1. Is this really an album I need to listen to before I die? Why?

Oh boy, a mixture of pop and country, my favorite!!!!

This could represent everything I hated about music in 1993. I still hate it.

So boring it burns.

Knappt någon vidare bra låt visst gick väl å lyssna på men inte min typ

Not a fan. Even if listening to her voice was a bit nostalgic

De lo peor que me ha salido hasta ahora

Wow, this is not my taste.

No fucking way. This is shit, Mary.

I am not a huge fan of this iteration of folk/country. I'd rather listen to Bob Dylan or Neil Young personally.

A couple redeeming moments but shockingly annoying for this popular of a star

Not a country/folk fan.

Still dull as shit. Lol

Sorry Sheryl. I gave it a fair shot but this just isn't up my alley. The first track was decent though!

Such an over rated human being. Shit singer. Shit lyrics

This album is an equivalent of a two old dry burger buns with a piece of old, moldy, mild cheddar slice in between them. Completely worthless. At least this list keeps surprising me with new flavours of "bad".

Hard pass

Poppia menevää…. Mutta hyvin hyvin paskaa lyyrisointia anteeksti ei kakkosta jumaleissons perseestä kuunnella..

Mds que muska ruim

I'd rather never have to listen to sassy country pop rock, but if I'm forced to I'd prefer if it was Shania Twain. All I wanna do delivers everything the rest of the album does in a slightly better package, but it's not even that good. Probably a 1.5 as i wasn't angry most of the time but I can't bring myself to give it 2 stars.

All I Wanna Do is alright as a song, but I struggled massively with this album. I think mainly as I hated the first song, incredibly repetitive, which set me up very badly for the rest of the album. I wanted to like this based on enjoying If It Makes You Happy from a different album, but I have to say I really, really disliked this.

All I Wanna Do is the best track by far. The rest of the album was dreadful and I found myself skipping many half way through.

Not for me

1993: did not like this album. 2023: same.

Mundane.

just no

Painful

Tyvärrrrrrrrr

Super generic 90s pop with one hit. I feel like at points they couldn’t think of a thousand albums and they’re grabbing random radio hits from the years and throwing on the album it’s from in the list and this one’s hit isn’t even that good

Not an SC fan.

Didn’t listen to it

I don't like Cheryl Crow's voice. Some of the softer tracks didn't sound horrible but were just boring, and if she tried to add any edge to it using her voice it sounded like shit. I don't think a single track hit for me.

Country musicians ruining country music since always

Un bon album pop, mais pas très intéressant.

Music my mom would listen to. There's nothing objectively wrong with it really it's just so decidedly not my thing.

This is what I’d imagine my wife would listen to if her name was Karen and drank white wine

Shite and boring

Just not much of a fan of her music.

yuck

It does not surprise me that Sheryl Crow’s 4th most listened to song on Spotify is from the Cars II soundtrack. That tells me everything I need to know about Sheryl Crow. She is also the same age as my mum. What the fuck?

Hard to categorize this as a must-hear album.

I had avoided this album my whole life, assuming it was garbage. The first track was so good and made me think maybe I had been wrong this whole time. But by the time I got to the song where she raps, I realized my suspicions had been correct.

Bland as hell. 3/10

All I wanna do is have some sick

Oof Sheryl....the early days were rough

Meh. Nope. 1
