Reviews (page 13 of 13)

She's got a pretty good voice...that's where the compliments for this one end. When you compare her to a lot of contemporaries in the genre she's missing that added dimension of soul. Large parts of this album felt disingenuous- I got the feeling that recording this album was just a 9-5 for her and she was trying to get home on time. I didn't think the backing band was all that creative either. A couple of interesting songs, mostly pretty boring. The back up singers sounded like Alvin and the Chipmunks half the time. If hell were the cabaret on a cruise ship, this would surely be the headliner.

#4 Great voice, nice collection of songs. Summer Is Over is the standout but it's a bit of a snooze fest to get that far through the album. 1/5

old lady music (carly probably loves it)

Now I have to clean out my speakers- very sticky music 1 star

just ot my yhinh

Most songs are pretty bad but a few known songs in there. Too bad for those.

Bit boring, not my favourite album ever. Meh.

No comment

I prefer silence.

I was already gonna give it a 1 cuz I found it pretty bad, but then I found out none of this shit is even written by her. Nobody needs to hear this before they die, they'll be ok. Will I listen to again: 0%

This was bad. The only thing that I kind of liked were some of the instrumentals in the background, but they were also just on repeat, so even that got boring.

Not for me

Noch so ein alter Schinken… ich merke direkt, dass das nichts für mich ist. Ich hör noch den Song mit den meisten Klickst („Whishin’ and Hopin’“) - kenne ich sogar. Ne, das ist nicht meins.

Not really a fan of this. It's not that she's a bad singer, it just doesn't work for me. I struggled to finish this. 1.5/5

I hated it. Wishin' And Hopin' is a cute song but that's it

It’s a big fat no from me chief.

Awful, just terrible, dated, of its time music that I would rather have not had to listen to. I derived zero enjoyment from listening to this rather dull collection of drab songs. I almost had to stop when I endured Dusty wailing away during Mockingbird, an unpleasant experience. I was also disturbed to learn this must have been a double album, as the listening time was too long for a single LP. Truly a test of endurance to make it all the way to the end, like having the worst radio station ever on for an hour.

Its okay, not really for me

Really boring

So dull. Just no enjoyable features.

Not available

Dusty's Karaoke Album. Seriously, these are all covers and they're not particularly good ones. What makes this a must hear? Her voice is not as great as people seem to think and the string additions are awful.

... Je comprends pas la sélection, c' est quoi l'idée d'écouter cet album? Pop yéyé début 60s qui ne révolutionne rien... préfèrerais écouter les albums qu'elle copie... You don't own me est bonne... Le mix est ultra roomy, ça a son charme mais somme toute assez générique tout ça

Didn’t like

soulful garbage

Not for me. Could not finish.

Felt pretty boring to me. I don't really have anything else to say.

buen disco muy pop 60s grata sorpresa de una canción

not on spotify, ignore the rating

Yeehaw

Dumpster fire.

No i drugi albumik dla, gatunek ten sam bo pop w najczystszym tego slowa znaczeniu, tak samo jak beatelsy rodem z wysp siejac standardy hamerykanskiej muzyki, nie moglo sie chyba gorzej wylosowac, ze slucham te dwa albumy jeden za drugim, bo cieszko doszukac sie w tych niedociagnieciaciach, jakichkolwiek dociagniec majac jeszcze w uszach produkcje beatelsow, wiem ze nie jest to dokladnie ten sam rocznik plytowy i ze w dwa lata sporo sie moglo zmienic w muzyce, ale fakt pozostaje faktem, ze ta plyta jest zbiorem najbardziej standardowych hamerykanskich trakow up to date zaspiewanych przez brytyjska wokalistke w aranzacjach wszelakich, bo nawet dlugosc obu materialow jest podobna, 34 minuty na 12 trakow w podstawowej wersji, a jak tragiczna jest to wersja, nie wiem kto sadzil, ze dobrym pomyslem na spotifaju bedzie wrzucic mixa w postaci jeden trak mono, kolejny stereo, nie mowie nawet o jakosci pomiedzy tymi dwoma typami trakow, ale o sam dyskomfort sluchania tak zmieniajacego sie dzwieku, orkiestra ktora akomponiuje pani dusty rowniez w tym nie pomaga, bo nie wiem czy to roznice w ilosci czanelow, czy w roznych sesjach nagrywana byla plyta z mocno zmienionym skladem orkiestrowym, a moze panie z breakaway, czyli trio wokalnego ktore robi harmonie dla pani dusty, kawalki jak my colouring book brzmia jakby wokalowi brakowalo przeibicia, podbijanie na glosnosci nic nie daje, a juz nastepny mockingbird jest juz sluchalny, nawet z o wiele bardziej skomplikowanymi wokalnymi zabiegami, wystepuja dwa wokale ktore prowadza dialog lub sie uzupelniaja, nie ma co nawet sie rozpisywac czy o czyms jest ta plyta, jesli na trakliscie pojawia sie nawet do re mi fasola, najlepszym elementem tego nagrania jest sam wokal pani dusty, ktory pewnie skads znam, bo skoro plyta sie tu znalazla, to pewnie jest to gwiazda popowej muzyki, skoro nawet taki szrot znalazl miejsce na liscie, a co do plejlistowej listy, to dodam otwierajacy mama said w wersji mono, ktory najbardziej komplementuje wokalistke i dobrze utylizuje chorki, ale ocena taka a nie inna glownie poprzez kontrast revolverowy i spotifajowa wersje tego albumu, a raczej pseudo wersje, bo czegos takiego jeszcze nie widzialem jak slucham od 10 lat na spoti

Not my style :(

Don't like white soul, don't like oldie music that much, or simply I was not in the mood...

didnt listen cause its late and i already know dusty
