Elvis Is Back

Fever is an all-time Elvis jam; the rest of the album is boring and repetitive.

I don’t think Elvis on record is the best way to appreciate him, but this is my favourite Elvis record.

This is Elvis seeking to polish and practice his craft, and show a level of sophistication. Controlled, mature, different styles. But that means it’s missing the swagger and unleashed sensuality that makes him Elvis…

I liked it

Great music from the King. Good vibes and great songs

Enjoyable album from Elvis. Old school Americana vibes, and 50s pop styles throughout. I enjoyed this a decent amount.

This was the first album Elvis recorded after being discharged from the Army. It marks a change in the style of his music - more ballads and a pop sound - and a change in his vocal range. My Dad is a big Elvis fan, so I probably listened to more Elvis growing up than a lot of other artists. Listening to Elvis always just makes me thing back to a certain time, and while I wouldn't normally seek out listening to him, it's always nostalgic for me to hear his songs. I knew a couple of songs on this album, but not all of them. I found the album, generally, to be a little slow with only a few real catchy toe tappers. Production on this album considering when it was made and how quickly it was made is really extraordinary. But generally I would rate this as a middle of the road Elvis album.

I didn't realize he had played that "Fever" song. It was a pretty good album, not the Elvis that I expected either.

I get that he is the Godfather of Rock and Roll and I get why he was an icon and loved by all but this era of R&R does not do anything for me, it’s too far removed from anything I can relate to. Yes, if before this you were listening to Artie Shaw and Bing Cosby then fair enough it probably sounded exciting but 70 years down the line it sounds basic, boring and repetitive. 1.3

It's ok. Doesn't contain the classic Elvis tracks that I like but it's a pleasant enough listen.

It's just so hard for me to enjoy just about anything from this era. I appreciate he's important historically, but it is really not for me.

Surprisingly groovy effort.

puik album door the king

Nice and compact

Exceeded my expectations! I added “Reconsider Baby” to my playlist. His rendition of “Fever” is also very good.

A boo bop a de dip damn was really expecting myself to be over this one but turns out Elvis got piiiipes!

I’ve heard this one before. I like Elvis just fine I guess. He’s got a lot of bangers and a lot of ok stuff and a lot of slop. This doesn’t have any of his big hits or even any of his more familiar ones from oldies radio. There’s a few bangers and everything else is pretty ok to good, with no schlock or slop, except “Fever”, which is just a bad song no matter who covers it. I like it just fine I guess.

This is the first record Elvis released after leaving the army, thus the album title “Elvis is Back!”. I listened to the original release (twelve tracks). Most of the tracks are covers, e.g., the Peggy Lee hit “Fever” and the Drifters “Such a Night”. Elvis received help on some songs from other big names like Floyd Kramer and Boots Randolph.

Back from the Army, and ready to sing some songs that I've never heard before (and 'Fever')! Thematically, they're extremely samey, but that's the 50s for you (I assume) (pay no attention to this being from 1960). Great album cover though. Like a note in Apple Preview stuck on an old picture with great (non-note) typography. Actually, who am I kidding, these songs are great, because Elvis is singing them. They're all short and snappy. Really, this is a pretty Bublésque album. I liked it. Disturbed to learn that there was an Elvis movie called "Tickle Me", though. I bet that's even worse than the Beatles movies. Linguistic Intrigue: "Make Me Know it Do" (c.f. "Love me Do") Unrelated Elvis Thought: Was Schoolhouse Rock based on 'Jailhouse Rock'? Google says no, but it seems like it must be. Or else I'm underestimating the past prolificity of the -house morpheme.

Good fun, can see why he was the king

I think Elvis is a little overrated. I get it, he made a the girls go nuts and made parents nervous. But Little Richard and Chuck Berry did it better.

If ever there was a definition of a 'greatest hits' artist. It's Elvis. Some great rock n roll on here, but a lot of filler. If you pick out the best bits it's fantastic, but he's not an album artist.

Good. Not that impressive, but I guess it's bc of the time too. 6.5/10

Few lyrics have aged like milk, but besides that, a Great album

Crazy seeing how low the average is for this one, you people don't like Elvis? ELVIS?

Almost a 4... the songs are great but they don't really stick for me. Except Fever. That ones stuck.

i like fever a lot. didn’t expect that from elvis. i liked this album a lot more than i was expecting to. it feels weird putting this on the same level as my other fours, but that’s genuinely how im feeling.

It was a good listen. Likely to return to a few songs but not the entire album. 3/5

Not usually an Elvis fan, but this had my foot tapping...

Elvis is good, he's fine. Fun to listen to, but won't reach for it much

In which Elvis begins to sings standards and Vegas glistens across the horizon.

I'm sure he is.

Best Track - "Fever"

It's Elvis...

enjoyable

A lot more covers than I expected, but good.

Favorite Song: Make Me Know It

It’s a fine album of its time but no real standout tracks. 3/5

huh, a couple that i'd never heard before.

That's Elvis alright. The Girl of My Best Friend and Dirty, Dirty Feeling were my favorites. His voice really shines in this album, very clean. 7.1/10

Ok early 60’s pop. But there are many better singers of this sort of material - Pitney, Orbison etc. Songs a bit mid save where Elvis has a go a pop standard like Fever. Band good but they’re not the wrecking crew.

The King, swinging and rocking!

Like a few songs just was not feeling it. Would give 2.5 if I could.

Not the best album from Elvis but fine

3 1/2

I can dig it, good cloudy cold day for this. 3+?

Not really my thing Liked his later stuff better

This era of music is very consistent in how it encapsulates the feelings of love, infatuation, etc. I enjoyed the mix of ballad-y songs, with swing and more jazzy-y tracks. However, the music tends to sound the same to me and it isn't entertaining to me. The rating is a 2.5, rounding down to a 2. Fav tracks: Make Me Know It Fever

When We Kissed, I Had To Fall In Love 1001 Albums Generator 261 (4/2/2026) Elvis Is Back! Back from where, you ask? Why, the army! Elvis had gotten drafted in '57, and served in the army from '58-'60 before being honorably discharged and returning to the studio to record this here album. And much like his debut showing, it's cool but nothing special to my modern ears. However, this one is less rock'n'roll and more Rythm'n'Blues/doo-wop, which I think makes it sound even more dated than his earlier album. Look, I am the biggest Frank Zappa defender on the planet, but even I find his doo-wop boring, much less Elvis'. Look, the backing vocalist do a fine job, this is just my personal preference. But, the songs that are more rockin' really stand out and just make the rest of an album a bit of a shame. Yeah I just don't think this is for me unfortunately. 2.5/5, rounded down to 2, it's not offensively bad, but just offensively boring. Favs: Make Me Know It The Girl Of My Best Friend Such A Night Least Fav: Dirty, Dirty Feeling

April Fools Day and the generator proclaims "Elvis is Back!". Well, if he has returned from the dead, I hope his comeback is a more interesting album than this one. First 2 tracks were good but everything else is very forgettable. I can see how this album was an important one in his career, being released following his return from the army, but that doesn't mean it's important music to listen to in the 21st century.

I prefer my Elvis to be Austin Butler personally. This guy’s alright though, easy listening.

Album rock classique, quelques sons plus intéressants que les autres, dont "Fever". Le King a su régner sur les années 60 et je comprends bien pourquoi.

I did not care for Elvis, he lowkengenuinely sucks

Word on the street that the kids lost their minds to this wild and crazy music back in the day.

I have never heard a full Elvis album until now. This is recorded really well and sounds great. His voice is excellent as expected. Good mix of rock songs and slower numbers. Just a product of its time in terms of being an “album by committee”. Favorites were Fever Dirty, Dirty Feeling, and Such A Night.

It's missing some oomph, somehow, although a few songs are fun & Elvis-y enough that it's okay.

First time listening to an Elvis album. Probably don't need to do that again. RYM: N Saved a song: N

Elvis is great, but he’s been better

Decent from the King

The depth to his voice....

Eh

nostalgic and cute but not his best.

It's not bad, it's just not all that great either. Sounds like Elvis though.

It was fine I guess. Minus 1 for Elvis being a creep

I’m not sure the Elvis albums on this list are super representative of him as an artist and the impact he had. Elvis in Memphis maybe does that, which is probably why it ended up being my highest rated of his albums on the list. This wasn’t bad by any means, just a bit forgettable by Elvis standards. The first half of the album is the strongest, but can we talk about “Like A Baby?” Why does Elvis always have at least one completely batshit song per album? I suppose it was the style at the time.

Good stuff kinda dated

Good Elvis album. Prefer from Memphis.

Early pop, rock with soul and an incredible voice. The king could sing.

Nice production value for the 50s. Highlights: fever

Just an alright Elvis album. Nothing special. Still the king.

This was okay.

I saw a vintage badge yesterday that said ‘I hate Elvis’ and I thought that’s crazy who hates Elvis? But then I was faced with this album, and the only song I was familiar with was the droning cover of ‘Fever’ and suddenly I thought, maybe I hate Elvis? TBD.

Well... It's Elvis.

A fun Elvis album, glad I gave this a chance. “Fever” is like the “Come Together” of this album.

Love this album Q

bacanita de música de fondo, me puso a bailar en algunas así que entiendo el appeal. Tiene una voz muy cool aunque ninguna me pareció memorable. Such a night me hizo devolverme a escucharla porque el ritmo es genial.

Would be 1 star but I’m in the pocket of Big Elvis

I enjoyed this if I had to put on an Elvis record this is the one I’d pick.

***agood easy listening album

Album très sympa, on passe un bon moment, mais ça n'impressionne plus en 2026. Pas les meilleures chansons d'Elvis Presley mais ça reste bien dans la moyenne ! Ce n'est certainement pas mauvais mais c'est pas du S-tier non plus. Note : 3 À réécouter : Oui

96. ok

Elvis was a hero to most / But he never meant shit to me, you see / Straight-out racist, that sucker was / Simple and plain / Motherf*** him and John Wayne

Best Song: Fever I know Hound Dog and a few random Elvis songs here and there. I will say, for the King of Rock N Roll, there isn't a whole lot of rock n roll on this. It's good, nothing great but good. Not sure if I would ever listen to this again. I would stick with Elvis' greatest hits probably. 4/5.

It's a solid Elvis album. I found Reconsider, Baby to be the strongest track

Woah, didn't know my wedding officiant had this in him.

back with a ... not so much of a bang?? Pleasant voice but how do people actually love this? certainly not an album artist. I'm not an Elvis hater but also not on the elvis is king train...

Nossa, as músicas desse homem não descem pra mim... acho tudo igual! Minto, tem as lentas (todas iguais) e as animadinhas (todas iguais). E todas igualmente forçadas e cansativas em 2026.

Goofy, candy coloured, Disneyfied rock n music. The King has no clothes.

Lord knows I’ve tried but I just can’t get into this early era Elvis.

-he is writing love songs but he gets pretty extreme about it, almost to the point of being scary -he has a nice voice :) -I can see why parents in the 60s didn’t like him or his lyrics -I like the overall vibe, very fun

Welcome back Elvis! I don't think this guy is supposed to be listened to in album format. Highlights: "Fever", "Dirty, Dirty Feeling"

It's grooving, it's smooth, it's Elvis. I'm not even a massive Elvis fan and I enjoyed this a lot. Worth a listen when you just want something pleasant to hear for a while.

the king

Meh.

At least it's short because I really didn't care for it. The cover of "Fever" is probably the most drab version I've ever heard

This started out great with that first track but then the rest just mostly went over my head. So much of this music by this point in time sounds like a parody or a joke. It’s interesting to think that at one time back in the day that maybe this was one of the great albums ever released. Perhaps a few more listens will help get me closer to appreciating this more but for now I’m not sure that I would ever play this whole album ever again. What an evolution the art of music has taken that these possible masterpieces from the past now sounds so unimpressive. But what a voice though so I do want to hear more from him and I see that there’s a couple more albums coming up. By the way what’s the deal with Elvis Costello getting 6 albums and Elvis Presley getting 3?!

7.5/10

aaa

Smooth, classic rock and roll. Good stuff.

Een Elvis soulalbum? Het klinkt eigenlijk best wel goed! Beginnend met een swing nummer, daarna een echte soul glijer met Fever. Elvis zn stem leent zich eigenlijk heel erg goed voor dit soort nummers, bijna Sinatra-esque. Er staan veel meer ballads op dan je zou verwachten van The King of Rock n Roll, maar eigenlijk trek ik die best prima. Fever, sowieso een heerlijk nummer, gaat best goed samen met Elvis zn stem, je krijgt een beetje de doorrookte jazz cafe vibes die je niet helemaal verwacht bij een Presley album. Dit album is sowieso echt een wilde rit door verschillende genres en stijlen. Doo-wop, Rock n Roll, maar ook soul en blues, het komt allemaal voorbij op dit album. Niet allemaal even sterk, zeker niet. Maar in vergelijking met een eerder Presley album trek ik dit door de afwisseling best wel goed. Als favo opgeslagen Fever en Such a Night zouden niet meer van elkaar kunnen verschillen qua stijl en nummer, maar beiden zijn wel echt goede nummers. Het tekent de diversiteit die Elvis hiermee in wilde slaan, althans dat denk ik dan. Alles bij elkaar is dit album echt wel goed om eens te luisteren. Gewoon, om ons soms er aan te herinneren dat Elvis niet alleen een mooiboy of meme was, maar ook daadwerkelijk een goede artiest. FAVO: Fever, Such a night, It feels so right, Reconsider Baby

eh its fine

The more I listen to Elvis the more apparent it is that he's a just product and his success and influence represents the birth of manufactured pop stars and nothing to do with his creativity or ability. And while you can't deny his ability to land some of these songs, it's just disappointing that at his best, he's still just imitating the original artists.

Nothing new with Elvis. Seemed a bit uninspired to me

Classic Elvis tunes. Not bad music for the background. 3.0/5.0

4- Stars (10/15)

That’s right Elvis is back, this is his second album I’ve listened to on this and again I loved it which is expected, minding all the shitty things he’s done his music is a model of perfection

Yeah Elvis was awesome. This is classic Elvis but I have to say I’m still a sucker for Vegas Elvis also. Gonna put suspicious minds on next.

Still don't get Elvis, this album didn't change anything. Gyrating hips might represent a step change in how 'rock' stars were marketed and perceived but that doesn't make a bunch of standards written by someone else and sung badly an essential listen. I guess it could be essential in the context that this is after coming back from Vietnam but apart from some nods to coming home and soldiers it doesn't really affect the material. Not for me and I've listened to enough now that I can say with certainly it never will be.

Elvis Costello is the superior Elvis. This wasn't a lot of fun - pretty dreary, boring production. I guess not being a teenage girl in the early 60s clouds my perception, but what is there to go wild about? Some slightly maudlin doo-wop stuff? His version of Fever is perfectly serviceable, he has a distinctive voice. Loads of hits, just none on the album.

Elvis does nothing for me really. I suppose some of the biggest hits might, but none of them are here. I don't need his crooning. It's super dated too. Fever was probably the best, but it's not his song.... Not that he wrote any of them anyway I would assume. Not the king for me. 1

Alriiiiight, Elvis! I haven’t ever listened to an Elvis album before and I was pleased with this one. I didn’t dislike any of the songs and I’d be delighted if I heard any of them in a public setting or on the radio. But as for listening to any of them on my own time, I don’t think I would, none of them really stood out to me. I like Elvis’ voice though he was definitely talented. 3 stars!

Enjoyed it more than I expected. Even so, got pretty repetitive.

2/26 First Elvis album I listened too all the way through. It was fine but nothing stood out to me

Historically significant because it was released right after his army stint, but when I think of Elvis I think of the energetic guy who caused a moral panic by shaking his hips, and a lot of these songs are downers lmao

This isn't a bad album. After all it is Elvis and his very distinctive voice, which he performs. It is completely okay. The musicians on here are good. I just didn't find anything in here overly inspiring to me. It was fun. I just don't see myself ever intentionally playing this again.

Supreme confidence in the delivery, a voice at the peak of its powers and no hint of fat (literal or figurative). Honed and awakened by his spell in the army, the King is indeed back. With all that said, the songs maybe don't quite match up to the artist here. It's a little heavy on the covers and crooners for me (although Fever is great fun). All told though, you'll get no complaints from me for 32 mins of unadulterated Elvis.

that was elvis

Probably was great for the time. Reminds me of poodle skirts and back to the future.

Listening brought me back to Graceland… Elvis’ story is so complicated and sad… but I feel like 60’s Elvis was a little too canned. 3.4

It’s Elvis! It’s fine. 5/10 Decent

Fun romp with the King.

These songs were pleasant but didn’t grab me and I got bored toward the end. They’d be nice background music at a party but not something I’d throw on regularly.

Elvis just before he started making B grade movies

Elvis was many things - including an icon - but maybe he wasn’t an album artist?

À réécouter, mais effet boomer…

I tried to give him another chance on this one, but oh my God is this bad. It's all the worst tendencies and tropes of early rock 'n' roll mashed together with a mumbling, stuttering vocal performance. It's difficult to conceive how this was ever popular. 0.5/5.0: Unlistenable

this was a chore to listen to. there may have been one listenable track on this entire album

It was fine

Not huge on Elvis but surprised how much i enjoyed this. All decent tracks, and a great take on Fever, but 12xElvis is a lot for me even in 32 minutes.

Did Elvis ever leave?

The better Elvis. Still not great overall, but atleast hes got a great voice unlike SOME other Elvis' on this list.... Favorite song was Fever. 5.5/10?

Solid in pretty much every way, more versatile than I thought

I'm generally unmoved by Elvis and this was very generically Elvis by numbers. Not bad but nothing to get my attention. Not sure of its relevance to this list other than the novelty of Elvis coming back from military service and getting back on it.

Elvis is Back! This sounds great for 1960, the difference in clarity and depth from his debut in 1956 is really noticeable, and his voice is superb, smoother and more resonant and much more mature. However it clearly lacks the punch and thrill of his debut, or the lived in r'n'b of his end of the 60s albums, or his enjoyably OTT Vegas period. There’s obviously nothing wrong with aiming for mass appeal, but stylistically and in song choice the edges have been filed down so much it feels denuded of any kind personality, let alone excitement or sexiness, and if you hadn’t heard anything else by him you might wonder why he’s so revered. It’s never bad though, even if it is a bit cloying in places, it’s mainly just completely fine if forgettable, with perhaps only It Feels So Right standing out for its genuine bluesy feel and earthy vocal, with the similar Like a Baby not far behind. The Girl of My Best Friend is also a nice song of course. I think it's between a 2 and a 3, probably closer to 2 - while not bad it doesn’t feel historically significant or musically interesting enough to come back two. My mind is telling me 2, but my body, my body is telling me threeeeeeeeee. I think I’ll go 2 as realistically I won’t come back and I was very happy to not have to listen again after my 3rd or 4th go round. 🔙🔙 Playlist submission: It Feels So Right

Elvis puts in a great vocal performance throughout, but this lacks the visceral power of the tracks that burst him on to the scene - Jailhouse Rock, Hound Dog et al. This is the third Elvis album we've considered - I loved the stanky soul, rock and gospel of 'From Elvis in Memphis'; his explosive debut wasn't far behind. This by comparison feels a little inconsequential (important at the time perhaps on account of his return to music after his army years); some nice tunes but not many that stick in the memory, nor any that match the power of his singles peppered through this period.

It's hard to point to anything that's really bad about this album, but it's hard to point to much that's all that great about it either. Elvis's vocals are good, but they're not that good. Like, compared to a soul singer, this is kind of a routine, emotionless performance. The upbeat songs here are fun, but they're not memorable and feel weaker than stuff Buddy Holly was recording a few years earlier. The slow songs are the biggest knock against it, as they all sound similar and aren't interesting. The most interesting - though maybe not the best - song is "Fever, a stark, almost vocal jazz number that puts all the emphasis on Elvis and none on the music. More variety would maybe have helped this feel less inessential. As it is, it feels like a label playing Elvis's return safe with decent but very forgettable material.

Very smooth! This is more in a rhythm & blues style than Elvis' usual fare of rock & roll or rockabilly, but he pulls it off! (Not that it's all that far off sound-wise, lol.) The production is exceedingly crisp for 1960, which really helps show off the songs and Elvis' singing, which by this point has matured a bit from his earlier belting.

Went into this expecting to hate it or at the very least be underwhelmed. I was pleasantly surprised. This was excellently produced! And I didn’t think he was being overly Elvis either. I guess the army changed him.

There's a lot of charm here! Standouts: Fever • The Girl Of My Best Friend • Dirty, Dirty Feeling • Thrill of Your Love • Reconsider, Baby

This is probably the most exceptional example of this early 60s style on this list and while it isn't really something I would listen to all the time, the crisp production is gorgeous.

A nice variety of tunes on the album. Elvis isn't my favorite singer, but I can't deny he has a nice voice that works well for faster paced, upbeat songs as well as slower, more contemplative tunes.

Елвіс Преслі, знову. По правді, я не дослухала цей альбом, не тому що він поганий, просто було нудно. на мою думку ця музика була не розрахована на те, щоб слухати її в навушниках поки ходиш по магазину абощо

This was fine, always been indifferent to Elvis and this did nothing to change my opinion one way or the other.

I can see why it's influential but it is dated now. None of the especially famous songs either.

About as expected - not horrible but not earth shattering. Mid.

There's one reason that I liked some of this album, it's not because of his voice which I don't find that unique, it's because of the production. While I'm not a huge fan of Elvis, I am a huge fan of the Jordanaires. Their voices added depth and sophistication.

pressie my man, he is back, apparently Rocking the shirt on the album cover please send me the vinted link i can definitely imagine the SHOCK white people must have felt when he show up wiggling his little pinky HOWEVER it did not really age well hahah Dirty, Dirty Feelings too short tho

The album is fine for what it is, but it's all just a bit boring for me. Listening to a whole album of lovey-dovey Elvis songs gets very dry very fast.

Actually liked this way more than I expected to...

I dunno dude. It felt like I was in the 50s and I wasn't in the mood. I just wannae interested in it.

Eh - standard Elvis. Fine enough

Daar word je vrolijk van

Super

I guess his first album after getting out of the army is of historical interest, but I'm not really feeling it. It's not just that there's no hits on it (his debut aside from Blue Suede Shoes is similar in that respect, from what I remember), it's that it just feels kind of phoned-in, Elvis-by-numbers.

First Elvis album I’ve ever listened to… I enjoyed it. 3.5 stars rounding up to 4

Elvis Presley - Elvis Is Back! Heard before? ❎ Revisit? ❎ Elvis crooning for 30 minutes with little variation is not the one. On this basis, I wished he hadn't returned...

Yep, that's Elvis alright

Of course I am aware of Elvis. I remember when he did the first live satellite broadcast of a concert (or something like that). I remember his movies being on TV in nonstop rotation for what seemed like the whole summer after he died - and my girl cousins just wanted to watch them all the time. I have 7 of his songs liked on Spotify - basically a few of his hits from across his career I think. But I've never actually listened to a whole Elvis album all the way through. I take that back - I have listened to his Christmas album (from 1957) all the way through many times. I listened to this 3 times - as I have for most of these albums on here. Some thoughts... When I first looked at the track list my initial thought was that I don't recognize any of the songs on here. The first time through I kept thinking this is a "paint by numbers" Elvis album where the producers and writers came together and said let's create a new "ELVIS" album and wanted to check all of the standard boxes - so we can remind people about him after his military service. After a couple more listens I started to appreciate it for what it is - a well constructed set of songs created by professional musicians and writers - with a singer that happens to have a very good voice. "Fever" - I think I like this one the best because of the sparse arrangement. Makes it different and interesting. Also, when listening with headphones I could tell they were trying things out with stereo techniques. It kinda made it feel like you were sitting there with the few musicians involved circled around you. Also made me think of Springsteen's song called "I'm On Fire" and how he was probably inspired by this. The title of that song is even a line from this one. "The Girl of My Best Friend" - I gotta assume The Cars were aware of this song when they wrote "My Best Friend's Girl" nearly 20 years later. Don't know for sure. Not similar musically but just has similar theme. "Such A Night" - I know I've heard this one before but just can't place it where or when. Pretty good. "It Feels So Right" - good vibe. "Like A Baby" - the song that proves you can stuff 9 similes about babies into 1 song. Who knew that was possible? I ended up liking the 5 songs listed above and would be ok for them to show up on my playlists. I can also see how other artists that I like that came after definitely picked up a few things from Elvis - such as Beatles, Stones, Led Zeppelin, Queen, Springsteen etc. - although all of those artists grew in endless directions beyond this kind of music. I don't think I'll ever get to a point where Elvis is my favorite artist or where I want to listen to this all on repeat - but I definitely appreciate him a little more than I did before. Liked songs on Spotify: 5/12 Rating: 2/5

ахуенно! очень зашло, fever очень крутая, но за то, что это элвис пресли минус звезда (травма от элвиса пресли в «присцилла: элвис и я»)

Make me know it - 3 Fever - 4 The girl of my best friend - 3 I will be home again - 2 Dirty, dirty feeling - 4 Thrill of your love - 3 Soldier boy - 3 Such a night - 3 It feels so right - 4 The girl next door went a'walking - 3 Like a baby - 4 Reconsider baby - 4

Elvis is a white face on Black music. I'd prefer an album of the original songs with the original Black musicians. "White cover versions of hits by black musicians ... often outsold the originals; it seems that many Americans wanted black music without the black people in it" (Robert Walser (1998) "The rock and roll era", in The Cambridge History of American Music, Cambridge University Press, p. 358).

No skip album, puro temardo, justo fever que es el más escuchado está medio mid pero el loco se murió cagando, un tipazo. Sape

Serviceable Elvis that grew on me as the album progressed; "Such a Night" was the anchor. Amused to see "The Girl of My Best Friend" on here, as I knew it best as a hit for Ral Donner... who was an Elvis soundalike.

I mean...I love me some Elvis!

Really enjoyed this one

Great to hear some vid songs outside of the 5 main ones I always hear. He’s the man

Another generic Elvis album. Good for his time I suppose.

Out of all the Elvis albums, this is a curious one to have on the the list. But, it is still Elvis none-the-less. The KING.

Pleasant and especially consistent for an album from 1960, but the songs aren't remarkable in Presley's pantheon. There's some excellent musicianship and production, for sure.

Well the song structures are pretty basic. Basic blues songs etc. But you can hear why he stood out. And dripping with sex appeal

nope not listening to this

https://www.reddit.com/r/gameofthrones/comments/1itjl3h/fuck_the_king/

I get that Elvis is an important piece in musical history but this is just boring, samey, croony rock n roll. There’s little variation and most of it is really quite pedestrian. He didn't write the songs, and honestly I don’t even really care for his signature vocal style. I think you probably had to be there.

A nice Elvis sounding album but the songs were just meh

Eipä tää Elvari nyt niin kummosta oo. Yksi kokoelma riittää. 2/5

Elviksen käännös kohti popimpaa suuntaa ilmeisesti. ja hyvinhän se on tehty!

Meh.

ja... alsof ik bij bouke moet werken

gezellig hoor die elvis

Awful! Why did my mom every like him?

when has he ever left?

It's not so much an album that tells a fleshed out story - more of a collection of well-produced songs sung by the King. But I can't fault Elvis for that; it's just the way rock n roll was in the pre-Beatles/Beach Boys world. Elvis is firing on all cylinders here (fresh in the studio back from the Army) as are the backing singers/musicians who helped flesh this thing out. Great songs with a nice amount of variety, super fun and easy listen (only 30 mins!)

I thoroughly enjoyed listen to this album and had fun picturing myself as a house wife making dinner while this record spins. Elvis always has and always will have one of the smoothest voices in music.

Not as rockin' and rollin' as his first album, but Elvis Is Back, is very enjoyable. The King experiments with poppier tunes and love songs, which he excels at. Elvis' voice is just as strong as ever. Perfectly enjoyable record.

This album feels really good. This record was recorded and produced in 1960. It is 2026 and listened to the album through and through. I can say that this album has not gone out of style. It is one of those records where you can appreciate the album altogether. Rating? No number would do justice. 5/5

I equal parts like and dislike, enjoy and hate. Its odd.

Early Elvis with the early Elvis sound. Lots of paper thin lyrics but Elvis is bigger than the songs

Light tones, very free-spirited ? I would say I was bored, but the album has many songs for such a short time (12 songs in ~30 minutes, average of 2:30 per song). At least the pace makes it easy to listen to, because it lacks content.

decent album, couple of nice songs. Its Elvis so obviously its infuential but I'm judging it based on that.

Racism aside, Elvis made some good songs. None of them are on this album.

This feels very dated to me. It's fine to listen to, I guess. Not really an Elvis guy, I guess. 2.5 stars, rounded down.

Just flawless.

Make Me Know It - 3.5/5 Fever - 2/5 The Girl of My Best Friend - 2/5 I Will Be Home Again - 2.5/5 Dirty, Dirty Feeling - 2.5/5 Thrill of Your Love - 2.5/5 Soldier Boy - 2.5/5 Such a Night - 3/5 It Feels So Right - 3/5 The Girl Next Door - 3/5 Like a Baby - 2.5/5 Reconsider Baby - 2.5/5 Elvis is back and they really should have reconsidered what came out on this album. He shifts away from the rock n' roll and has more blue-eyed soul type songs, but all of them unfortunately feel a lot like B sides more than anything. Overall: 2/5 Favorites: Make Me Know It

Alternates between soporifically cheesy and uptempo cheesy.

uuh dasch no cool ich kenn no kein song. aber arrangements huere knackig, er singt halt au suuuper. fever isch huere guet nume bass stinn schnipse. super. bin jetz bi such a night und recht cool würkli, s isch wie die ältere elvis sache afoch in stereo haha. reconsider baby isch suuuper. smooth sax,

derrr rücken von elvis kenn glaub keiseinzigs lied make me know it hetmi jz nöd gad umghaue fever isch na cool? sehr reduziert dirty durty feeling FUNNY hmm jaa es paar lieder hani na cool gfunde, v.a. die wo nochli meh blues-element gha hend, iwie ischs für mich au sehr en 💫vibe💫 mitem hindergrundgsang aber schlussendlich hetmi au nüt packt

The King’s Slim Shady album.

decent

I don't really like or hate Elvis' music and I don't really like or hate this album. The music is pretty good, Elvis can definitely sing and still has that charisma that drew everyone to him. This album was released in 1960, but it feels like just about every song on here would have received a big round of applause at the Enchantment Under the Sea dance. This was for all you lovers out there.

Pretty good, fun album. I could listen to this more. 4/5

Blimey, I really enjoyed this!

Wasn’t bad but I didn’t care for it

Album is typical of what you would expect of Elvis. His cover of fever was pretty good, heard some Elvis songs I’ve never heard before. Had that classic Elvis sounds! It was a nice album, albeit short.

6/10… rock n roll / doo woop / *1960

This is most certainly music.

#830. The more I listen to Elvis's music, the less I understand about my grandparents' generation. This was what they were losing their mind about? But why though? 3/5: fine

It was fine. Nothing special.

Certainly one of the best albums that show the greatness of Elvis. He sings with ease through all the different tunes and styles that is very essentially rock'n'roll yet somehow already more.

old people music

As expected

GOING IN: Not fussed really LISTENED WHILE: Morning coffee FAMILIARITY: New to me SKIP RATE: Played it straight through REPLAY VALUE: Might come back to it DISCOVERY CURVE: Warmed up nicely ALBUM ARC: Pretty even, consistent VERDICT: Better than expected BODY'S VERDICT: Sitting nicely - Motionless appreciation FAVOURITE TRACK: My Rating: 3 This was actually not bad. This kid's good.

Alright from bog death man

Its alright high 6 to 7ish

Oh good. Elvis is back. It is notable how often I finish one of these albums and put on something that will never appear on this list.

Love me some Elvis!

como lo conocemos. te hace bailar pero te sentis en una peli de terror. me vino barbaro porque me muero de sueño y esto esta sarandeandome a dormir.

Album #1 that I own that has come come up on here. Didn't have to get too far in just a few weeks. Ya, everything Elvis is awesome. Great album. Great recording, fantastic stereophonic sound coming from RCA Studio B Nashville. Elvis is in his prime. There are a lot of Epic songs but if Elvis is singing it's Majestic!!

this feels different it’s unique elvis tuff 8/10 2026/1/12

nice not exactly what i would usually listen to

carino

Is Elvis good, or do i like his music? Could be both, right?

Meh, I'm not sure what Elvis was back from.

This is enjoyable, but never really hits the heights of his legend. Maybe Elvis just ain't the same without seeing the movin' and shakin'?

enjoyable :)

This is pretty solid. There’s some songs I don’t think hold up, but Elvis and the other performers do well.

Where did Elvis go? Who knows but he sure is back now!

Classic Elvis.

Really missing that raunchy rock ‘n’ roll edge edge of his first album. His voice is certainly better and the arrangements are certainly more advanced, but it ends up feeling like a generic pop album instead of something unique.

Very disappointing, rock / blues Elvis is great. There’s a lot of gimmicky doowop stuff on this sadly.

Good one

Virality in the 60s, short songs with catchy hooks that showcase Elvis as a sex icon and commercial product against very slick backing music and vocals. Funny how this is still the same today. This style of music just doesn’t do it for me. His voice is astonishing, but the doo woppy nature of this and cutesy lyrics just eeeeh. He’s better for me in jazz register or big dramatic ballads/ show pony mode where he goes later. He is not really an album artist.

What an incredible production. This album has such a full sound with just a few components. It’s like a warm bath of reverb that I could sit in for hours. I enjoyed Elvis’s rendition of “Fever,” although it’s not my favorite version. I also loved “Thrill of Your Love.”

Apparently the Colonel thought the army would ruin Elvis’ career. I guess not. This is a strong return. Not as strong as Ted Williams, but for musical talent it may be the most notable album to be released by a veteran. It’s nice to hear continued sounds of Sun Records in his RCA years. Fever adds a dynamic that I probably wouldn’t have expected to hear had I listened to this in 1960. Provocative but still familiar, this Elvis release stands out as one of the “Classic” ones. From start to finish my foot was tapping and my head was bopping.

Elvis isn't for everyone. Top class crooning, but I really don't enjoy it.

It was fine but there’s no need for this to be on the list as well as other Elvis albums and it’s not as good as the self-titled. I did quite like the cover of _Fever_ though.

First album of the year and you're telling me Elvis is back? It's a funny way to begin the year but truth be told I don't really care about this album. I guess I appreciate Elvis as a popculture figure and like some of his songs but when it comes to his full albums I'm kinda meh 2/5

Elvis gehört zu den Pionieren moderner Musik! Wir Boomer wissen und schätzen das. Volle Punktzahl.

Not a fan of Elvis but bonus points for being new years eve

Before today I wouldn’t have counted myself as an Elvis fan. We all know the big hits. The dance. The outfits. But this felt pure and fun. Something my conservative Nan would have loved back in the day. 4/5

It’s Elvis, it’s gonna be great, love the voice, lyrics and blusey sounds

Short and to the point with a surprising number of soul(?) tracks

Good Album, no more, no less. 1/5 didn’t finish the album 2/5 didn’t keep the album 3/5 kept it and will listen when songs randomly show up on shuffle 4/5 kept it and will listen to it again front to back on my phone 5/5 buying the vinyl

Good one but not his best

Pretty good

Classic and timeless.

WHERE?

Elvis came back with a soulless effort.

He might’ve been back, not sure from where though😂 nice little “pop” album- but nothing special here ( for me that is).

Actually enjoyed this more than I thought I would, not to be flushed down the toilet

The greatest!

Album #18: Elvis Is Back! - Elvis Presley Genre (according to Wikipedia): Rock and roll, pop, R&B, blues, rock Singles: Such a Night, The Girl of My Best Friend Have you listened?: Once before. I love Elvis. Thoughts?: I love Elvis Presley, but this doesn’t sound like an album that belongs on this list. I consider him more of a singles artist than an album artist. He has a rich voice and is one of the greatest entertainers of all time, but this isn’t a great album. Favorite songs: Fever What scene does this album paint?: It’s unfortunately so forgettable that I’m unable to paint a visual picture. No file correlations.

# 217/1001. Let's play the Elvis is back -game. The rules are: one person says a line starting with Elvis is dead...filling the sentence with some Elvish. And the other person answers with a line that beats or rhymes or in other way complements, contradicts or completes the first sentence. Here is an imaginary gameplay: Elvis is back from the army From the war From teenage girls' bed From the dead From Sun From the moon From the 50s From Vegas From an OD trip From a trip with a VD With a fever With a fiver For the disappointment of moms and dads For the disappointment of 50 million fans Softer than ever Harder than Jello From Germany As a nazi In white leather In a gold sweater More boring than ever Singing even fever The king is dead Long live the king

Elvis means nothing to me.

How have I never heard any of these songs before? Love Elvis and love the deep dives this project affords.

This album is a product of its. It has the distinct sound of old music both with the instrumentals and the way the vocals sound. It has some good moments but felt like some of the songs sounded the same as each other.

2.5

After some consideration, no private session used for Spotify. I was always more of a Costello than Presley when it came to my Elvi. This album, noting Elvis is back, released in 1960 sounds very fifties to me. I can appreciate his voice, but the music isn't for me.

Nešto što nisam skontala prije generatora je da je Elvis imao stvarno divan glas i da može lupati bilo šta i opet će zvučati sasvim ok ako ništa. Ovo je poprilično nabacana kolekcija pjesama, ima svega i dobrog i ne tako dobrog, ali sve je potpuno uredu za slušati.

I prefer my Elvis a little less croony, a little more rock and roll.

It was alright

This was fine. Don't think it moves the needle for me on my perception of Elvis. His cover of Fever was a weird choice.

Our first Elvis album on this list I think, how exciting! Has to say I was a bit shocked by how good sounding and exciting this was - at least the first disc. Even more so considering it was recorded 1960! Seems like this is mostly covers though, and here again comes that debate that I've been having with myself throughout this list of whether that is OK or not. This album brings a new side to that discussion as most of the other cover albums were not something I really enjoyed. But this was! Overall I enjoyed the first disc more than the first. It was more varied, and sounded better. The songs on the second disc sounded more the same, and some text were extremely basic, like 'Such a Night'. But throughout the record I was really impressed with Elvis' vocal prowess. Definitely no other that sound like him, and he shows he can handle different types of singing as well. Extremely impressive show, no wonder he's been dubbed the king of Rock 'N' Roll. All this in mind puts it at a weak 4!

Good vocals, I mean it’s Elvis, but there is more or less where my praise ends. No stand-out tunes and honestly I was quite bored even though the album length was 30 min. Strong 2.

Soulful, good voice Elvis. I think that o prefer the rocking one

Not what he's known for, but still soulful and enjoyable.

50s drivel

Sigh. gg. Best album I've heard by Elvis. Song actual enjoyable songs on here coming from an Elvis hater.

Surprising mix of Doo-Wop and "please me Kennedy", with a strong end of classic what I would call Elvis. Enjoyable listen

Of course - it is the well-known Elvis-sound. But I'm quite disappointed because I miss at least one remarkable song or one of his hits. And maybe it is all too old-fashioned for me? 2,5

There are definitely a decent handful of Elvis songs I enjoy. None of them were on this album.

I mean, this album is decently energetic and has a couple of pretty engaging tracks—I liked it more than his debut—but there’s nothing special about it. For an album release in 1960, it even sounds pretty good, and the instruments are decent (besides the terrible use of stereo, of course). But do people actually enjoy all these songs by men who are nonstop horny about the women around them? Like, there’s probably hundreds of thousands of them, so there’s gotta be some appeal, right? There’s so many of them that it’s not romantic in the slightest and borderline creepy. I don’t get it. Can we make something else instead?

Booooa, o grande Rei. Tava na hora. Hype. Se colocar a mente na época e imaginar esse tipo de música, tu consegue entender a frase de John Lennon que dizia que antes de Elvis não existia nada. Foda. O bicho é muito versátil em vários estilos. Muito bom o álbum, mesmo não tendo nenhuma música marcante. 4*

Charitable 3 stars, I expected more honestly. The ballads are shit, the rock and roll song are much better which makes me hesitant to give this only 2 stars. I enjoyed half of the album after all.

A bit of Elvis never hurt anyone really.

3/5

Elvis returned from the German military service amd within a month he recorded and released this comeback album. His voice was so smooth and easily recognisable. Fever is a great hit. The other songs aren't that famous, they are still good thoughnI feel like I prefer a greatest hits album by Elvis rather than a studio album.

Абсолют прайм Элвис. Каждый трек хитяра

A totally harmless and somewhat enjoyable Elvis album.

3.5

Unlistenable cack

Had a good time. This is what the generator is all about baby.

A bit sleepy, but not bad

This was enjoyable. I wasn’t familiar with any of these songs except for “Fever,” just not familiar with his version. It was kinda nice and refreshing to listen to 32 minutes of Elvis with his rock and bluesy swagger and not hear any of his classics. Solid 3.5/5

Just fine. No notes.

He packages so much under the Elvis banner here. Blues, soul, crooner, country, and of course rock and roll. And he’s silky smooth with all of it. The album is clear and well produced and doesn’t have many misses. All hail the King I guess.

That man be singing black guy music to white girls! The scandal! Elvis isn't an album artist except to the extent it's all Elvis doing Elvis shit, which he's great at.

It’s Elvis the King. What’s not to like.

Real sweet and peacful

its Elvis so like

It's Elvis, I can't not like Elvis. Is his music cool, no, but I enjoy it.

No. 26 I’m very familiar with Elvis Presley, but I’ve never listened to a whole album of his music. There’s lots to enjoy here from Elvis. though it does not have the out and out raw energy, swagger, and urgency of his best 50s stuff, there’s still heaps of style.

Not his best work. Sure, it's Elvis, but this is not a great album.

Classic. Just don’t like Elvis much

Don’t need to be the target demographic to be impressed. Flawless performance and production. Clearly influential. 4/5

Elvis had a great voice but my taste is more Nick Cave…

It was fine. But, for me, Elvis has only done a couple of truly great songs. Suspicious Minds and In the Ghetto.
