Blue

Hon har en rätt jävla jobbig röst, men kan inte gå lägre än en 3:a.

I can't respect her anymore since she hopped on the Spotify censorship bandwagon with Neil Young. It baffles me, it truly does. Today liberals dominate all forms of media. Skepticism and dissenting opinions are not tolerated in mainstream discourse. In 2021, if you questioned the vaccine you were met with social outcry, bans from the internet, and you could even be doxxed or fired from your job. Today, it's obvious that the vaccine actually does hurt some people, and that it doesn't even prevent COVID in many cases. Joe Rogan is literally the most chill, moderate, open-minded celebrity out there; he has had people from all walks of life and with all sorts of political views on his show. The fact that the entire internet tried to have him silenced is really telling of how stupidly insane the modern world is. I still hold many liberal beliefs, but it's terrifying how authoritarian and vengeful leftists are in these times. Anyways, I'm not rating this album based on her as a person. It's a very pleasant and soothing album. She has great vocal control. Although I didn't find the album extremely interesting a lot of the time; I wish there were more dynamics in her music, more variation.

God knows she's great but her voice is so hard...

Kolme tähteä hankala käsittäää

This album is not bad, just not my cup of tea. Joni Mitchell's voice is too grating for my taste, and the album itself doesn't feel all that outstanding. If you're into depressing ballads by high-pitched women you'll enjoy this.

Good

I have learnt in the past 560 albums that Joni Mitchell was much better and more interesting than I thought, but that I still wouldn't listen to her music by choice.

Can get a bit whiney after 2 or 3 tracks. A bit twee too 50 years later.

Average

boring and over rated

Carey, Blue, This Flight Tonight are lovely. A bit too samey for most of the album and the melody's are so topsy-turvy that it loses me in some sections where she treats her vocal like a sax playing over the top of some bebop or something

S'écoute bien, mais je suis incertain d'être en amour avec ses fluctuations de voix constantes

Little Green has to be one of the most beautiful, melancholy, and gently hopeful songs I’ve ever heard.

Some songs were good the rest all sounds the same.

Joni Mitchell does Joni Mitchell

Great vocals, not really my vibe

Better than expected considering the company she kept. Had to track it down on YouTube since she, understandably, pulled her albums from Spotify.

Nice folk stuff, really liked some of the guitar work

És un disc per ser escoltat. L’àlbum menys jazzístic de Mitchell és a la vegada el més innocent, esperançat, bonic, optimista. Com sempre amb ella, falten les melodies i la música és massa depenent de les lletres, però els senzills arranjaments de piano i guitarra aquí sonen fantàstics

A bit too raw and confessional. One much prefers Summer Lawns, which is of more interest musically and less painfully vulnerable.

I enjoyed a few cuts but was never a big Joni Mitchell fan.

Good

Decent. 3/5

Me gustó "Carey".

Pretty okay

I can see why it was such a popular album, but it’s not for me. Her lilting style grates on me.

A breeze blows across the porch into a window, passes through a sunny room full of plants and people, swirls through an active kitchen, and out through the back door. Whispering along that wind is Joni Mitchell.

It's like todays pop, too much emphasis on the voice, not enough music.

It was good but I didn’t think it was great. I don’t know if I would listen to it again.

This is the female singer-songwriter album. If you like that you’ll love this

I wanted to like this album as it's pretty celebrated and heralded throughout the music world, but her constant vocal ticks drove me a little crazy: it's low low low first verses then octave jump. Every. Song. It was so predictable. No doubt she has writing chops and some of the stories in the songs were neat and relatable, but her voice is just not my thing. Still a decent album, but I'll likely never spin it again. 3.5/5 but rounding down to 3.

I mean it's ok but I'm not exactly crazy about it. Not a fan of her voice and too folky for my taste.

I obviously recognized a large amount of the songs, She has a beautiful voice and there is no denying it. There is not much negative things I could say, however this style of music isn’t one that I would normally listen to so it’s hard for me to get into it.

I don’t really get it, but I understand why people love Joni Mitchell. She creates pretty music as evidenced with Blue, but I just don’t feel anything from it. I definitely don’t find it unlistenable or bad, but I don’t really want to listen to it again.

I'm sorry mum, I'm sorry dad. Did you 'just have to be there?'. This is a turning point in music apparently. But it's not when you're listening to it 50+ years later and are not present at the time. I'm sure it's of 100% importance, but to someone younger it's just twangy Joni and her grating voice. Sorry again.

A great one.

pretty melancholic

Genre: Contemporary Folk 3/5 An album in which its reputation precedes itself, Joni Mitchell's Blue is what many consider to be her magnum opus, and what others consider to be one of the greatest albums ever made. Entirely self-written and self-produced, Blue is a mostly acoustic journey through Joni's life and times. While most do consider this to be a folk masterpiece, it unfortunately didn't hit my ears in the same way. I sort of see it as the Bob Dylan effect, where these sorts of melodies speak to a more rural, working class upbringing, while coming from a bit more of a privileged perspective, and that dissonance is too overwhelming for me. It renders it inauthentic. Joni Mitchell's voice is quite unique. Part-Joplin, part-Parton, she moans and groans with passion and emotion through most of the cuts here. The sparseness of the arrangements leave her voice as the main highlight, but unfortunately it sounds badly mixed to me, scraping the boundaries of what would almost be described as clipping. It's not a texturally bland album, moving from guitar to piano to bongos as the songs progress, but it's not all very exciting, and gives the album a snail's pace. Honestly, though, the most insulting thing throughout this process is seeing people say that this is the greatest album a woman has ever made. This is certainly not the greatest album a woman has ever made, not in this list and not even considering albums not in this list. No matter how high Rolling Stone rates this, this is a folk album with some pretty solid vocals that does pretty much nothing for me. I respect the grind, but Joni just isn't for me.

Not bad, but not amazing.

Nice voice, but not my style.

Joni Mitchell et YouTube ça commence à bien faire maintenant...

Cet album supposément parmi les meilleurs de tous les temps était absolument banal. J'ai passé un meilleur moment sur les 3h de Ella Fitzgerald. Le Rolling Stones Magazine devrait songer à fermer boutique c'est en tout cas le conseil que je leur donne.

Kon hem niet luisteren

eh shes ok i guess

Great voice, but got bored after a while

<3 <3 <3 aldrei hlustað á þessa plötu alla í gegn áður, sem er ótrúlegt.

Pretty good! Not a huge Joni Mitchell fan, but nothing bad to say about the album

Not on Spotify - and yes, clearly very pretty, but she does get a bit wearing

I don't really like this at all, but there was a time when i did.

i only listened to it once while walking around in the woods, it's alright. it's a bit to stripped back and simple for my taste, but i appreciate her voice and lyrics. Probably won't come back to it though.

Great voice

Didn't listen to too much of it but I get the vibe

I only really know one Joni Mitchell song. I like it but never had the urge to dig further. This is some nive folk and I can see how it probably influenced a lot of other artists I like. The airy wavy vocals are impressive but at times a bit too much for me. I thought the start of River was a Jingle bells cover but then it was just a clever catch for a Christmas song. I like folk music and I'm a sucker for female vocalists but this was missing something or maybe had too much of something. Stand out track - Carey 3/5 middle of the road.

Bom.

I can appreciated there's a lot of talent here, but I find all the little vocal flourishes she puts in a touch grating. Possibly it just caught me in an unreceptive mood... Fave track - "California", let's say...

I respect Joni, and don't mind that I had to hunt this album down since it isn't on spotify. There was a recent song exploder that referenced Blue and I've been meaning to check it out. So I really want to love this album. But I don't. I know people love her voice but I just don't. I can appreciate the artistry and boldness and poetry and intimacy of these songs. They aren't formulaic, that's for sure. But maybe a little formula would have helped. There are moments of sublime beauty, both lyrically and sonically, but in the end the songs are like wisps of a cloud, pretty but I can't quite get a grasp on them.

Don't love it, but don't hate it. It's some pleasant, simple single-songwriter tunes, and Joni's vocals really do add a lot. 5/10

Niet uitgebreid kunnen luisteren, maar erg mooi!

Helaas niet kunnen luisteren, maar ken het album goed genoeg om er een oordeel over te geven.

Skon hor!

The voice always grates on me a bit! Tunes are pleasant but a bit boring! Three stars for the songwriting

Cheerful, but not sure I remember much

I like her voice. Would re listen. Not my favorite but ... Solid!

Storytelling alone - great. Voice - not so great. The vibrato was just a little much sometimes and made it hard to follow the melody. The storytelling is something else though. River is the standout.

Drenge her har i mig tilbage

I enjoyed this album well enough; it wasn't something that I think I'd be able to listen to often and I didn't add but the last three songs, but still I could feel the passion in her presentation and knew where her songs were coming from. The thing that kept me from adding the songs and really enjoying them on their own was their structure, or lack there of. Her voice does so much heavy lifting, it's wistful and her style embraces that drama. Favorite songs: River A Case of You The Last Time I Saw Richard

There's definitely some nice songwriting and guitar work on this, and I did enjoy some of the tracks. Just parts of the album as a whole felt a bit bland to me

Hat mir deutlich besser gefallen als befürchtet. Grenzwertig angenehme Stimme, tolle Texte. So wird man gern geweckt!

It’s signature Joni. I don’t love her voice but it’s very incredible.

Alguien que sabía que existía pero que me está descubriendo esta lista de 1001 álbumes. Desde la primera canción este disco suena bien: All I want, Little Green, California y A case of you.

Sure, her voice is beautiful, but what are those songs?

relaxing but kinda annoying at some points. nice voice

I know she's a super talented musical genius and all that, but I find her voice to be shrill and annoying at times. Some songs more so than others. Having said that, there are some beautiful songs on this album, in particular River. 3 stars.

didn't really hit me that hard, still, beautiful.

Better then i expected

Classic

Fine. Pleasant. It's not great background music because she is warbly. Listening to it intently... she does stories, has better lyrics, but the music isn't particularly catchy. Casey is good. And River is super strong, but seems to have the thinnest lyrics (maybe I just don't get it). Was hoping to be blown away.

Interesting and unique

3/5

Fantastic musicianship & writing, but the lyrics are about a lifestyle I can’t relate to & I’m afraid Joni isn’t for me, I’ve just never been a fan.

I really want to love this album, especially since court and spark is amazing, but I just dont. The music on this one dosent feel as creative as some of her other albums, and something about her singing style on this one just rubs me the wrong way. Its still good though. Im giving it a 3 for now, but I suspect that my opinion of it will improve over time.

I can appreciate it but not really my thing. Probably shouldn't have listened while sitting in traffic.

Seems influential but not necessarily for me. I hear Avril Lavigne and Ben Folds.

I was excited to see this generated for me, as I know it's considered to be Joni Mitchell's masterpiece, and I really liked the Hissing of Summer Lawns. However, it failed to grab me, and even after a second listen has left me a little underwhelmed. Compared to 'Hissing' it is less interesting, varied or striking both musically and lyrically. It is a nice and pleasant album, and the vocal is great, but it all seemed a bit samey and not overly interesting, so didn't live up to my high expectations.

Always love Joni

I can appreciate Joni Mitchell but it's not my style. Sounds pretty though.

79. Há muito que não te escrevo mas não te peço perdão. Não o posso fazer, não aqui. Os dias na trincheira estão mais longos, ontem pensei que aqui ficava para sempre. Passei a amaldiçoar de forma visceral o nascer do sol. Com ele vem o fim das tréguas e o despertar das baratas. Tantas vezes o vimos no Terreiro. Sol vibrante. Luto para me recordar do teu calor. Sol cinzento. As mãos já me tremem a jogar às cartas. Quando voltar, compro-te uma máquina para a roupa. os novatos dizem que vem das américas. Então, os dias serão só nossos. MotA: A Case of You "I am on a lonely road and I am traveling, traveling, traveling, traveling"

I really liked A Mighty Wind but never listened to JM. Much to my disappointment there wasn't a single strong character she reminded me of. Perhaps Mitch and Micky, the duo played by Eugene Levy and Catherine O'Hara. Anyhow, this album was fine, and the dulcimer skills are strong, but this album isn't very silly or even funny. :(

A Joni Mitchell 3-in-1 review to catch up… Joni Mitchell sadly doesn’t really do it for me. When her songs are upbeat and fast-paced, they are tolerable, but when they are slow they put me to sleep. The album “Blue” keeps the pace, but has Mitchell too often suddenly and sharply pushing her voice too high. She’s got a great voice actually, but that is not playing to its strengths. “All I Want” and “River” are deserved timeless hits, though. The album “Court and Spark” has less jarring highs, but too slow of a pace.” “Hejira” was the most forgettable of the three. We still have one more Joni to go. We’ll see if “The Hissing of Summer Lawns” grabs me any more.

Joni’s voice is a 5/5 for sure, 10/5? It’s incredible really. Unfortunately the song writing is not getting it done for me. In a weird way, several of the songs rely on Joni’s voice too much. Songs where she’s riffing and there’s really no sense of structure or melody. Again her voice is phenomenal, so I can understand why this approach was taken. I want to rate this album higher for her voice alone, but I need more structure. The two best songs on the album for me were Carey and California.

This isn't for me. I didn't find it obnoxious or anything, like all the lame people influenced by Joni Mitchell, but it left no impression.

Wouldn't go out my way to listen to it again

Why are so many of these "must" hear albums so boring. It's all slow and mellow music. I can appreciate the talent, but its just not something I want to listen to often, or at all.

Definitely a good record, and it gets A LOT of well-deserved praise. I think if I read a little more into the lyrics it'd resonate with me more, but for my general enjoyment through a couple of listens it gets a 3

This album would be at home in s a small coffee house as it settles into the background with its subtle arrangements and lyrics. Despite its tone, the lyrics ache with the sadness of the singer.

Most pleasant listening but Joni's voice never changes

Quite pleasant to listen to, I enjoyed it playing in the background while working. But the songs don't really feel like they're going anywhere and blended together. Wouldn't actively listen to it again, but nice for one time.

I like Joni's voice, but this album is a bit too melancholy for what I'm after today.

Very vibey. Felt like a great bacground music for a chill evening in the bar. Some songs were very good, some where more or less meh. 3/5.

Great summer beach vibes Manly music / Folk with high pitch female voice

All very nice. Glad I saved it to Sunday

Typical Joni Mitchell. Listenable but not overwhelming. ***

Interessante, mas com pouca potência. Lembra muito os vocais da cantoras de MPB dos anos 80 e 90. Provavelmente foi uma influência para o trabalho de voz e violão

Not really my thing with all those warbling vocals even if Joni has an amazing voice.. but I can see why this features in a lot of top 10 albums of all time.

Not really my thing but I can see why people like it.

Never heard it before Had some preconceptions of it being too folksy, but 3 tracks in and i've dropped that The melodies are strong and unexpected Joni's voice is a little bit much at its highest register. Lyrically sharper and more cutting than I was expecting Overall really enjoyed it. Deserves the hype.

Legal, mas gosto de algo mais animado

Folk setentero. Cantautora.

OOH. JONI MITCHELL Ah, this is where the that weird Christmas song is from.

Solidly ok. Favorite Track(s): “A Case of You”

cantautora. Folk. Agradable.

I think I like this more than the other Joni Mitchell album, but it's the same sort of thing: she's clearly got tons of talent, but I just don't like the music.

good

I can appreciate her talent, but she’s not my cup of tea.

It's fine, y'know? Nothing stand out... just... fine.

Chill

A good album but personally not a big fan of her voice or writing style.

Clearly a very talented vocalist. A few good songs, but this just wasn't for me.

One of the most interesting vocal stylings I've ever heard. Like a folksy Mariah Carey. Good songs, but not really for me.

Fine

Mix incroyable, on entend le son alanis morissette

Très bon enregistrement !

Her voice is annoying. But some of the songs are nice.

Very sweet sounding songs with heart and feeling.

Liked this way more than I expected to - rich songwriting and lyrics that drew me in

Not for me but sounds good

Es soll eines der besten Alben sein (generell und von einer Frau). Ich hab jetzt das besondere daran nicht erkannt

Yah it was okay. I don't get the hype, it's not for me I guess. I gave it a 3 over a 2 on account of it being pleasant sounding music, even though it's not my style.

A Case Of You,” James Taylor on acoustic guitar, Russ Kunkel on drums, and Joni Mitchell on Appalachian dulcimer...

Pretty good album. Joni Mitchell can sing, and the simple instrumentation and interesting lyrics make this album work really well. It's not my exact jam, but I enjoyed it well enough to listen to it again at some point. 3 stars.

I like some of her songs. But her voice sometimes gets a bit annoying. Maybe the recordings of that time do her voice not justice ;).

Some good songs, but it drags a fair bit

Absolutely phenomenal voice, but, alas, not for me.

sei la, não curto música muito alta (no sentido de agudo) além do mais, só violão e piano. não curti. provavelmente não ouviria novamente. https://www.albumoftheyear.org/album/6084-joni-mitchell-blue.php

Ok, fine. This one was tolerable.

I thought id like this more, but maybe need to revisit

Wow. I've tried, I've really tried. But not only do all Joni Mitchell songs sound the same, but that same sound is really, really annoying.

3.5

On the face of it you expect a chilled sweet and even deeply emotional musical masterpiece.  Pretty paired back as it's basically her sat on a chair having a little jam with herself. What I hear however is an annoying confession with vocals so limited in melodic structure your only left with a piercing chunter. It's genuine torture to me.  I am lost in a musical desert with the lovely guitar backdrop teasing the old melodic flourish only to whip it away at the last minute.  I continue on, my drought ridden journey entirely lost. Like a desert its beautiful and baron in equal measure.  To my parched ears, it's just an annoying oppressive wasteland.

Voz linda

I have this one on vinyl and have played it exactly once since I picked it up several years ago, left with a bad taste and some disappointment at my initial reaction to such a legendary album. I'd almost forgotten why until it popped up in the queue, and I'm disappointed that another visit didn't bring me around. Despite some poetic lyrics and passable composition, I find the vocal style distracting and annoying, sometimes making it difficult to understand. Definitely appreciate her contemporaries such as Joan Baez or Carole King a great deal more, and wish that I could round this 2.5/5 up, but I won't.

70's female folk music. Not for me

pretty good i guess

Nah

It’s funny to hear the song ‘A Case Of You’, which was covered by Prince. Two stars…

I used to listen to this 20 years ago. Now I don't really get anything out of it.

Not for me.

What the hell is the point of that?

Felt REALLY long. Couldn’t believe it was only 36 minutes. Not for me.

Interesting voice, but too much murmur, not enough intensity for me. Might revisit.

An ok album

This will be blasphemy to most, especially if you look at my other ratings, but I've never gotten into her. Her lyrics are sublime, but the singing is cloying and the lack of hooks makes so many of the songs blend together to my ears. Sorry...

Wasn’t my vibe

The album was mediocre, California was a solid song, included into my playlist of that genre/vibe. 4/10 2/5

I really doubt this genre will ever make a striking impact on me. This is a highly rated album but I feel nothing towards it. 5/10

Rather not hear it again

I know a lot of people rate this as a classic, but Joni just bores me shitless. Her voice is nice, but she tends to wander off into high treble tones just because she can, and I find the lyrics pretty ridiculous a lot of the time. Not for me

She’s a good singer it’s just a bit boring

Canta muy lindo ella, pero las canciones no me terminan de gustar.

I wanted to like it, but was just meh.

Not my vibe

I can recognize the uniqueness and artistry involved but I just didn't enjoy listening.

As a Canadian, I guess I’m supposed to have a Joni Mitchell tattoo on my ches, but I’ve always found her voice annoying. The songs don’t suck, though.

Great album except for the composition, the singing, and the lyrics.

2 Songs i liked, which i already had in my collection, form the best of

Found her voice/lyrics annoying on most of the songs

Not the vibe for me this morning. Just super mid.

Today I learned there’s music that sounds fine but also absolutely horrendous when you’re hungover.

Woke up, put this on, nodded off a few times.

Joni album no.4, and I still don’t get on with her song writing style. The one up tempo and accompanied number, The Flight Tonight, was excellent though.

It’s hard to be objective because her voice grates on me. I’ve always heard about this album but refused to listen until now because of that. I mean let’s face it, she sings every song the same way. It feels so repetitive. So very repetitive. And then more repetitive. So I focused on the lyrics, and there are some beauties in there, so I guess that’s the appeal? I can find some appreciation for the lyrics. The River being my favorite. But it’s still not enough to make me ever want to sit through this again.

Long a écouter

I think if I grew up with Mitchell she might hold a similar place to Lenker, but as it stands, I just find her music vaguely grating

Just something about her voice doesn't work for me. And the songwriting seems clunky

mid

#29 I tried so hard to like this, but I just couldn't. The lyrics are what shines here, almost like a collection of poetry, but the musical arrangements and song structures are unremarkable and boring, like it was an after-thought. Lyrics alone can't make an album great. I also can't stand the sound of her voice when she sings in the higher registers, which she is constantly switching in and out of, and it is jarring every time. For all the accolades and praise this album has received, it was a disappointing listen.

Just not really a fan … understand why people appreciate it but didn’t do it for me 2

Nothing against the artist, she has a really nice voice over some super laid back well played instrumentals. I just am not the biggest fan of folk music and maybe it’s the age of the album or something else but her voice felt disconnected from the music in a way that made it hard for me to listen to.

não é minha vibe, não gosto mto de folk rock, mas é um album escutavel. nota 2,5/10

it's alright. her voice is too slinky and i don't like all the jumps in the melodies, and i feel like it lacks an edge. i get why it's good but i just don't really like it very much maybe one to revisit at some point

This isn’t my style of music. I understand Joni Mitchell was an important part of musical history around this time, but this is nothing more than background music for me. It felt very folksy despite displaying Joni Mitchell’s vocal talents.

Bof

Not a fan but understand where she sits in music and particularly this album.

Lungi meininki, en menny sekasin

Enjoyable

“Can totally appreciate the storytelling — she’s clearly pouring her whole life onto tape — but that shrill edge in her voice just makes a lot of it tough for me to sit with. I wish I liked her more. The songs that land, like River, land because she keeps the delivery calmer, and you can just hear the beauty in the writing. But when she goes into that higher, sharper thing, it just kills the vibe for me.

I did not enjoy this

I still do not get all the hype. It’s not terrible, but it’s so much closer to poetry than music / songs. I just can’t get down with her style. Needs a chorus or two. No chance it’s a top 10 album of all time. That’s silly. 2.5

подружка тори эймос.

lady is a hella good singer I just wouldnt listen I guess I'm not about the hippie lifestyle

I want more in the background but it's alright

too sad forme

Not a big fan

Not my thing, she has a good voice but I don't really enjoy the style she sings. "Case of You" is alright

We listened to this album in the car on the way to Italy. It was over surprisingly quickly. The music itself didn't stick with me.

I can't really call the album bad, but I didn't enjoy it. It all felt very same-y and nothing stuck out to me. Probably a 2.5 honestly.

It could be good at 1971 but it is 2026 now.

bit annoying, nothing there for me Would rather Alan Rickman get me a necklace

Not my style of music

I admire Joni's songwriting and the ability to put forth her emotions via rhyming words and guitar strings. However, some of the higher pitched vocals were distracting from the true art. I would have enjoyed more if she sang in a lower octave. There were three standout songs for me total and the rest went by without generating much of a feeling from me. So, I choose A Case of You as my favorite from the album. Honorable mention in her writing to rhyme figure skater with coffee percolater! Gave me a laugh.

The album overall was emotional, but the song structure and lyrical style weren't really for me. This being said, I felt River was a very lovely track.

Is this a safe place to admit that Joni Mitchell’s voice sounds like nails on a chalkboard to me?

No me gustó tanto, mucha voz de mujer con un estilo raro de country pero a su vez no

Like Joan Baez if she were more subdued, classic singer songwriter album. Was shocked this was recorded in 1971, it didn't seem dated at all.

Muy too much lento y no me termina de gustar el ritmo. Osea canta bien pero no es para mi.

Rauhallinen ja sain tietää et tää liittyy jotenkin Leonard coheniin (Joni mitchell ja oon nyt utelias)

Joni can be enjoyed one song at a time. A full album though starts to get a bit annoying with every song being a string consious slop that all sound the same. 4/10

I kinda hate this album. Her lyrics, melody, and guitar/piano have such a boring meandering sound. Her melodies don't even meander because that implies a smoothness to them-- they just jump large intervals willy nilly. 50s is so much better than this. 70s music is just whiny and boring. Sorry I'm not cultured like the rest of you, I'll stick to Laufey

umm it didn’t really stick with me, no song really stood out, i prefer other folk albums to this one

I find Joni Mitchell annoying. I've tried to like her but I just don't get it. Maybe I need to be a middle aged female

Not my jam, sorry Joni.

Este álbum musicalmente está muy bien pero las letras no me gustan mucho y no es para nada mi estilo. En la primera escucha está bastante suspenso. No digo que sea malo, pero a mi no me llama la atención para nada siendo honesta. Las valoraciones se agrupan en 0, 0.5 y 1. 0: no me gusta ni la volvería a escuchar 0.5: me gusta pero no como para meterla en playlist 1: me gusta y la meto en la playlist BLUE-JOHN MITCHELL All I Want: 0.5 My Old Man: 0 Little Green: 0.5 Carey: 1 Blue: 0 California: 0 This Flight Tonight: 0,5 River: 0.5 A case of You: 0 The Last Time I Saw Richard: 0

Music for people who enjoy hanging out in coffee shops. Nothing wrong with that, no judgement, it's just really not my kinda thing.

It's an okay album. I guess I just really didn't jive with it all that much. It was a lot of sing song conversation. And I think my biggest issue was that everything was too high in the register and very lilting. With almost no bass to speak of in the entire album. It just didn't have a depth of sound that could've added something to make songs stand out a bit more.

It's not that she's not talented but this was o damn boring. She's just reading a book out loud I think?

Jone Mitchell is a skilled artist who is not to my tastes.

not really my type of music, joni's voice kinda makes it bearable tho

Can’t get her black face persona out of my head while listening to this album.

I enjoyed about 2 songs, the rest were.. annoying.

me gusto la cancion carey, en general letras poeticas pero yo no conecto mucho con l folk

aburrido mierdon historico no me ha aportado absolutamente nada

hermosa voz y hermosas melodías aunque no sea mi genero de música preferido, no creo escucharlo de nuevo.

даже не знаю что сказать

A couple good tracks. But some were hard to listen to her voice

This was an odd album. Odd lyrics, odd singing. Nothing like what I have heard before. I'm not a big folk person, but I do appreciate the uniqueness of her voice and singing style.

Not my favorite. A little too slow for my liking.

eh

Very much not my thing.

This isn't bad if it's what you are into. But this is not my thing.

Its... fine

Learning Joni Mitchell is simply not my thing, from a lyrical or musical standpoint, although in general I think the music is better here than on Court And Spark. But I don't think she's that great a singer or a songwriter and listening to an album's worth of music from her is wearying.

meh

I don't understand the allure. It just kind of drones on. It's probably the best of the Joni Mitchell albums I've been forced to listen to, but that's a very low bar.

definitely not my genre. It's the types of songs I'd pretend to enjoy to look cool and deep but they all felt a little one note to me. Especially the first one, it turned me off pretty quickly. I still tried to listen to some other songs but nah

A bit to ballad heavy for my liking. The songs that were faster and Joni was flowing were much much better.

The music here was good, and a couple of the songs I liked, especially where she doesnt sing in that high range a lot, cuz that got grating after a while. I found myself wanting it to end after half way.

It's probably objectively good, but I'm an uncultured dummy so TWO

Vibe/Genre ganz cool aber war mir ein wenig zu langweilig.

While her voice is absolutely lovely, I do feel myself getting fatigued towards the end. And though I do appreciate the music, it's not making me amazed. Admittedly I almost fell asleep around track 7, I just don't think its my cup of tea.

not for me!

great storytelling

She's a legend, but I can't stand her voice. Also, I have heard way too much folk from the Laurel Canyon on this list and it's just not for me.

I appreciate Joni on guitar but her voice is like nails on a chalkboard to me

Meh

This album is very spotty! It sounds like some songs were given a lot more care and love than others. Better mastering, mixing, and singing on some songs and then none of that on other songs. 2.5/5

This is just fundamentally not for me. I like music that excites and captivates me. This is not what this album is aiming to do. It’s just way too laid back, and the acoustic background music is so boring to me. Her voice is kinda nice, I guess, but this album wasn’t fun for me at all. 5/10

Muy yankee para que me conmueva

This album is all about minimalist instrumentals highlighting Joni's voice, and I just don't like her voice that much. It's a kind of shrill lilting yodel that irritates me the whole time (Angel Olsen does this vocal style better on her first album imo). Lyrically it's fine, nothing terribly interesting.

Unglaublich wehleidiges Album..... Bevor ich von ner Brücke springe, werde ich dieses Album über die Kopfhörer hören, um mir den letzten Rest zu geben

mühsam und weinerlich, nichts für mich

Muy chiil quizás si le doy otra oportunidad o lo escuchará en el mood correcto me vendría bien

ok... ze kan een tekst schrijven, da's waar... maar ze kan helaas ook zeer hoog zingen

I remember listening to it but I dont remember anything about it.

There's a Christmas jumpscare.

Amazing voice, I can see why a lot of people like her. Me? Not so much. Her lyrical structure is either nonexistent or just beyond me. It's like listening to someone tell a stream of consciousness story that doesn't have a point. Even that I can roll with if the rest of the music is interesting enough. Buuuut it isn't. Moody girl in a coffeehouse does nothing for me. It gets 2 stars because it's not actively offensive to my ears, but I do find it unbearably boring.

Amazing voice, just not for me.

too whiney

I tried, but nah

Nope, nope nope. I’ve tried to listen to this album a few years ago when it came on one of my “best albums of all time“ list. It hasn’t changed. I haven’t changed. I understand why people like it, just not me.

Not a bad album ny any means however its definitely an album for its time Best-California Worst-My old man

Can't say why but I just don't like Joni Mitchell's voice. I find it grating and hard to listen to.

She has a beautiful voice and writes beautiful songs. Joni Mitchell just bores me to tears.

Good voice, but too sentimental for me.

Somehow this is more important of an album than my pure enjoyment of it ranks.

Infinitely better than the other stuff by her I've been subjected to. Still no.

alguma coisa me trava de musicas mais pro lado do folk infelizmente apesar de ser um gênero que eu não goste, é muito fácil reconhecer a qualidade das faixas. a voz da Joni é muito maneira

I felt like it had everything to like, but just didn't that much.

Please don't assassinate me: I just do not like the sound of this woman's voice.

I thought I might like this more than I did, but this is some folksy hippy dippy shit. Heavy on the folksy. Doesn’t seem like her style evolves much album to album, as a different song from a different album came on after and I couldn’t even tell. Would have been 3 stars but ‘My Old Man’ bumped it down with it’s dissonant key changes, and lyrics referencing coffee percolators and washing machines.

It feels like everybody loves her, but I think her voice is kind of shrill.

Joni Mitchells voice is not my ja

Vähän liian hempeetä menoa oli maanantaiaamuun tämmönen, rupes nukuttamaan uudestaan.

Ei kyllä lähde Joni.

Kuuntelin autossa matkalla Jyväskylästä Jämsään. Ihan huikean suvereenia laulantaa, mutta joku tässä kyllä vähän tökki. En oikein osaa selittää että mikä. Ei ihan päässyt fiilikseen, kun laulellaan Kalifornian lämmöstä, ja meikä tykittää Opelilla läpi räntäsateen ja sumun. Oikeastaan kaikki biisit oli keskenään ihan samanlaisia. Tykkäsin (muistaakseni) paljon enemmän siitä edellisestä Joni Mitchellin levystä.

Essentially background music

Yet another Joni Mitchell. This one didn't change my opinion. Still think she's a great person, but her music is nails on a chalkboard to my ears.

0.275% of Joni Mitchell is really a bit over the top for this list!

decent album, maybe not for me, very slow and melodic

nope

Very pretty voice and lyrics but not really my style, especially a whole album of it

did I not get this album earlier.... no that was a Marianne faithfull album lol. anyway its not great

Too high to be easy listening, but beautiful songs. Not really for me

My Aunt just died so I inherited like 10 Joni Mitchell albums so this is what I have to look forward to

Not my cup of tea.

Fine but it doesn’t hit her voice bi maae ktir

She's not an alright singer, straining vocal range. Very basic instrumental and cheaply recorded, as live, acoustic charm. Not very good lyrics either, repetitive, shallow. No real flow or rhyme or pattern. Not very creatively named, covered or written. Sense of potential cultural significance, easy to learn / sing along too. Carey is alight

Meh, not a bigg fan

I really, really dislike her style of super busy singing.

Just not something I can comfortably listen to. Too slow and melancholy. Songs don’t vary much.

Déçu J’ai bien aimé "Little Green", mais c’était la seule de l’album... Dommage car elle a vraiment une belle voix

It doesn’t really matter how much Joni Mitchell this project throws at me - I just don’t get it. “River” is a lovely Christmas song, though.

Favorite Song: A Case Of You Least Favorite Song: Carey Tough listen, there’s just nothing interesting going on with the instruments.

I can't get into Joni Mitchell. This is my second album of hers and some of the lyrics are good but I don't enjoy her delivery or voice I guess. It does make me want to look up Joni Mitchell covers though...

Alright

Everybody's mom loves it but I don't get it

Zzzzzzz... California...zzz..Blue.....zzzzzzzzzz..The River!!...Zzzzzz

I'm so sorry Joni, it's very hard to listen to for me. You have a very great range and singing voice.

Not my thing

Ikke helt for meg. Anerkjenner talentet, men jeg får ikke tak i oppbyggingen av låtene. Det hører til at lyttingen ikke har fått 100% oppmerksomhet.

Wanted to like this more but her switching of pitches mid line bothered me
