Elvis Is Back

Solid 3, decent vibe

That voice on Fever! It really shows that this is from before people put huge amounts of thought into the overall flow of an album.

Fever is my favorite track. The rest of the album is good but most of the tracks did not capture my attention and seemed kind of generic.

This was okay, a little too slow for me at times. However there were a couple of quicker and more rocky songs that were just a bop to listen to. Favourite: Dirty, Dirty Feeling

Good

Overall not bad music but can't help to feel a bit disappointed coming from such a acclaimed artist as the album itself was short and enjoyable but lacked anything new or standout

Kinda like it but feel like there's too much of a ballady vibe in it and probably prefer Elvis's faster pace songs

This is not the music I usually listen to but this is so fun! Tbh the slower songs are not really my thing but you can really vibe to the upbeat ones

Classic, but ok.

Nothing amazing, but fun. Some of the ballads drag and some of the up tempo numbers seem to recommend domestic violence. Hey, it was a different time. Don't think it'll be on heavy rotation, but I don't think I've ever listened to a full Elvis album before.

Elvis is a fantastic singer. This album feels like a mixed bag, though. Some of the songs are pretty great but others just feel like dated tween pop.

Fun and exactly as expected from The King. Great voice, good mix of rock n roll, pop and crooning. No enduring classics, but good short listen.

Inte så kul med blueslåtarna men det är ju Elvis. Moget, varmt, mjukt och självklart.

I mean it’s Elvis there is a reason he so popular

3.5

It’s strange how some things/people loom so large in the culture, but you can easily go 50 years without actually directly experiencing them. I believe this is the first time I listened to a full Elvis album, and probably the first time hearing any of these songs. It wasn’t quite what I expected.

Average. Few good songs but mostly boring.

Classic Elvis, definitely my preferred type of Elvis music. Interestingly though, there wasn't a song on this album that I was familiar with (at least not Elvis's version). I thought all his early albums were chock full of hits, but apparently not. Still great though. 3 stars.

Enjoyed it more than I thought I would. Liked some of the ballad-y songs and some were fun to listen to, but some songs were just an okay and some didn't get my attention at all. I think this rock sound is just too old for my taste.

Not bad, very easy to listen to. Pretty neatly written pop stuff. Classic-sounding album, great vocal performances. Standouts: Fever. Soldier Boy, Such A Night, It Feels So Right & Like A Baby

Not my favourite Elvis album, but still decent.

I was an Elvis fanatic as a kid. But I only had the greatest hits collections. Hearing this collection of deep cuts (like, not a single hit here) reminds me that Elvis was just another crooner of his time. Nothing here really hits the way any of his hits do. They're just pretty well-done renditions of songs written by others.

Good

Can't go wrong with Elvis!

Smooth.

The king is here!

Pleasant 3/5

Elvis did "fever"?

Faves: Make me now it (there's this quirky sound I like), Fever, and Dirty, Dirty Feeling

Elvis is back, but he left most of his rock n roll at home.

the king is meh

i think when the vibes are maximized, this album is really really great, but it’s easy to look over if not.

I’ve never listened to Elvis before. Not that exciting

Not very interesting

Not my style but I'm sure I would have understood the hype if I was around in the 60s!

Elvis is Elvis innit

Highlights: his vocal performance might be the best form of his career. He was able to sneak a couple of anti-establishment songs onto the record. Other than that, it's pretty standard Elvis fare. if you like Elvis you'll love this record. If you aren't an Elvis fan you won't find this any different than his other stuff.

Just what I would expect from Elvis. Pleasant to listen to at times, chuckle-worthy at others. I can see why he was so popular.

Wonderful voice but the songs on this album aren't that exciting

He may have been the king of rock n roll but his albums tend to be one or two hits, a few interesting side steps or variations on a theme and then filler that would only really satisfy die hard fans, and this is no exception. Don't get me wrong, I love Elvis' voice but his music is best sampled on compilations.

Elvis is a great talent. I grew up listening to a ton of his albums because my grandparents and uncles/aunts loved him. It's weirdly nostalgic for me even though I personally never really listened to him on my own. Sitting down now reminds me of them and I can see why he was popular. Great voice and super easy songs to have in the background while you'r'e doing anything.

It's alright. Horrible cover of Fever aside. Elvis really wasn't an album act.

After a hiatus of 2 years in service, Elvis supposedly came up with new ideas to try out in his material, and i can sorta see some of it here, but for the most part there's not much interesting here. Out of 12 songs, hardly any of them are really bad; they're just nothing we haven't seen before whether by Elvis or other pop musicians. On the plus side, there're a lot of genres here, and the average song is less than 3 minutes, so it's hard to get bored by the time the record's over. The biggest highlight is Elvis's increased confidence, fully in control of his sound, although he does sound unenthusiastic and bored in several tracks. "Fever" adds nothing to the original, with the instrumental trying to mimic the original, and Elvis sounds like it's his turn in the classroom to read. Favorites: The Girl of my Best Friend, Such a Night, Like a Baby, Reconsider Baby

'Fever' was far and away my favorite song on the album. I'm not a huge Elvis fan, but this was a really good album.

The song pickers for this album certainly wanted to share the royalties around. A different writer for each one. Does this make for a strong coherent album. Probably not a consideration at the time. What we get is a fine showcase of Elvis' range supported by quality musicians. Enjoyable but not essential.

He is great. I'm just not a fan. Really difficult to score

Not something I'd listen to again but it was okay

Elvis returns after three years in the Army-and consequently has lost much of the edge that sent a shockwave through American culture. His voice and band sound just fine, but the songs here offer little in the way of excitement.

not what I usually listen to, aber eigentlich geil. potentielle 4 if I get into it more?

Back from the army, i guess. I'm not sure what all the fuss was about when it comes to Elvis. It was a 50s and 60s thing I guess and the freeing of the pelvis which must have been so shocking at the time.

A fun Elvis record, but not much is remarkable besides his rendition of 'Fever'. It's nice and short, sounds lovely but rather forgettable as a whole.

bon rollet. 2 prefes: soldier boy com a soft i dirty dirty feeling com a més animada, pero tb make me know it i it feels so right gust personal encara q objectivament sigui millor q aixo: 3/5

The King!

Easy listening, quite short.

Always a good day when you can listen to a new Elvis album! I was unaware of most of these songs but was enjoyable none the less. And a great album to wrap up this week. What’s wild now is we just watched the Elvis movie so it put this album into some brief context of when he returned from war.

Here's that old school Elvis style, when he was still a young gun driving people insane in a lot of different ways. The title hints at the fact that this was his first back after going into the army, and it was clear that he still had the sauce. This album's a bit lowkey, doesn't have a lot of the classic hits we know and love, but "Fever" has always been a favorite for me, both Elvis's rendition and the one by Peggy Lee. Enjoyable album, though still waiting for the best that Elvis had to offer. Favorite tracks: Fever, Soldier Boy, Like a Baby, The Girl of My Best Friend. Album art: Elvis is BACK, they exclaim. Pretty simple portrait of a soldier boy. 3.5/5

I like Elvis this album didnt blow me away but it was still alright

This is fine. Elvis without any visual is distinctly average for me.

Solidno

Solidan album, slušljiv, takoreći zabavan - u tom smislu.

A decent album by a great singer that does not write his own material. It contains only a few bangers (Fever, Such a Night, Reconsider Baby)

October 26th 2022. Day 4. Fun to listen to my first full Elvis album. Quite alright.

This is an interesting album. Yes, it is Elvis, but clearly one that is trying to find a fan base that has moved on.

Very bluesy record, sometimes to its advantage, mostly not really unfortunately.

This is a good album. But it does not demonstrate what made Elvis an icon. It lacks the energy and swagger of his early live and television performances and albums. And it is missing the showmanship and experience of his later years as a Vegas bandleader. If this were the only Elvis Presley music to which you were ever exposed, you’d likely (and rightly) think, “why is this guy such a big deal?” That would be a shame because at his best, he was The King.

Elvis is Elvis and all, but this album just really didn't do much for me.

decent cant go wrong with elvis fav song: fever (he plays it a bit mellower it suits him)

Favourite song: The Girl of My Best Friend One for the karaoke: Fever for the finger clicks One for the car: The Girl Next Door Went a’Walking Really enjoyed it. Came out 1960, but had proper height of the 50s vibes. Just didn’t enjoy it quite as much as Elvis In Memphis

Lovely little rockabilly/blues one this. I have rated this more on the fact it’s Elvis and not so much the album itself so the standard is different for me. I was close to a 4 but 3 it is. One of my favourite Elvis songs is on here though ‘The Girl of my Best Friend’ ‘Fever’ has to be the karaoke one.

Elvis is prolific. So many good songs. 149 billboard 100 songs! That being said, this album was produced for the 'Greatest Generation'. It's full of ballads instead of rock. Fever is the only song worth listening to.

Coming from someone who was born not long before Elvis took his final bow, my view of The King is definitely skewed by the over-the-top, sweaty, Vegas impersonator Elvis, so much so that it's hard to imagine him EVER being a big deal. This album from 1960 is, like so many other artists on here, the first full Elvis album I've listened to. I started out hating it, ended up loving the second half. It's probably not coincidence that, how do I put this delicately....Elvis starts this album as a white, gospel-inspired singer (some of the tunes remind me of the horrible "Elvis sings the Bible Hits" or whatever, probably with Charlton Heston reading Bible verses in the background - at least that's the commercial I remember....), but by the end of the album, he's neither of those things. With "It feels so right" and "Reconsider baby", The King is channeling his inner Ray Charles (isn't the album we listened to a while back from about the same time?). And "What a night"?? It must have been SUPER racy back in the day. Add in the hips, and you've got parents freaking out left and right. What's holding me back here is the originality of the whole thing - I don't have a good feel for how much of this is actually Elvis, and how much of this is taking Black music and making it acceptable. Still, the first half of this album merits 2 stars, and the last half 4 - for a solid three average.

I don't get it man, I don't get it.

I think I was not in the mood for this album, so might have to try it again. I like his voice and his style. The album is good but no song jumped out for me.

Elvis' voice is so amazing that he can basically carry anything. And this is a nice easy listen. But it's not terribly interesting, and it doesn't have any of The King's strongest material on it.

da's niet slecht ofzo maar het is Elvis? Leuke upbeat hitjes, zal wel van belang geweest zijn, maar vanuit mijn perspectief belandt dat allemaal op de hoop "geschiedenis"

Pent album. Lett å like, vanskelig å hate. Fever står igjen som albumets store hit, resten blir fort litt glemt.

Pretty mellow album but nothing too special

There’s a lot of Elvis songs that I like a lot, but none of the ones I knew beforehand were on this album. He’s definitely one of those where it’s nicer for me to put his music on in the background, or work him into a mixed playlist rather than sitting & focusing on a whole album of him

Never loved Elvis. Never listened to an album. I Might prefer a more rocknroll 50's album than this as it is is mostly just smooth simpering pap. Great early stereo production.

In Pog Form

Classic Elvis not for me.

3.5 easy listening music

Good old music, nothing too special.

Although it's difficult to separate the cultural icon from the music, I have listened to enough of Elvis Presley's music to have formed the opinion that I appreciate his abilities and enjoy certain of his recordings. This album has some good tracks -- 'Fever' is surprisingly good, for example, and 'It Feels So Right' is a nice blues number -- and it's fun for me to imagine the time during which this was released. The 50s and the early Elvis years and all the great rock music that put the genre on its 50-year trajectory were in the past and things were about to change enormously in so many ways in the next few years. In the meantime, just out of the Army, Elvis recorded this album and got back into the mix. I've mentioned it before, but it bears repeating: please do yourself a huge favor and listen to Andrew Hickey's incredible podcast series, 'A History Of Rock Music In 500 Songs'. As you might expect, a few episodes feature Elvis songs, and you'll learn a lot about him, his music, and most of all, have some myths dispelled. Fascinating.

Enjoyable enough, love his voice love the band, but none of the songs really knock one's socks off. Favortite: the Girl Next Door Went A'Walking.

Sacrilege, Elvis trying to sing Fever…

Some nice tunes, but not as lively as some

Decent, not amazing

Elvis is boring

J'ai toujours un peu vu Elvis comme le mathématicien Pythagore dans le sens où je trouve que pour l'époque c'est pas mal mais par rapport à ce qu'on fait aujourd'hui c'est tout de suite moins impressionnant.

Love me some Elvis but these were a little slow

Favorite: Make Me Know It

https://youtu.be/G8Zw_ERCOts the ballads are shit, but the upbeat ones are kinda fun and make me feel like i'm waiting for a sub standard pizza at frankie and bennys.

Prefs: Make Me Know It, Fever, Soldier Boy, Such a Night Moins pref: The Girl of My Best Friend

I recently 'discovered' Elvis with this website. That record (From Elvis in Memphis) hooked me. This one was fine but more in line with what I had always expected an Elvis record to be. My ears are more open to listening to Elvis however this was ok but not great - for me

Never been the biggest Elvis fine. It was OK

He's white? ... he's white.

Solid record; these are polished Elvis tunes, but it’s nothing amazing? I have to wonder why this album made the list over Aloha from Hawaii or any of Elvis’s stellar gospel music.

Niet geweldig

Not bad, lacking depth, but decent enough in the background. Lyrics tend to be somewhat inane (or disturbing, see chaining a girl to the wall).

Agréable. Préférence pour les pièces rythmées, même si elles se ressemblent pas mal toutes. Belle voix, belles harmonies. Enviiiis 👑

A good Elvis album, but I never was a big fan of his work. Had a good time, for what it's worth.

Не дослушал до конца. Звучит лирично, но мне не по вкусу.

It's OK, it's Elvis

I liked this more than I thought I would! His rendition of Fever was probably the highlight for me. 3.5/5 stars

30 minutes of Elvis. Doesn't outstay his welcome.

First Elvis album I’ve ever listened to. Enjoyed it and some pretty recognizable songs, don’t think I’d got back for another listen though.

Great album!

I think this is a great place to start if someone wants to hear the "voice". The post-army Elvis had matured and his voice is a magnificent instrument. As with all Elvis records, he needs good material. The material here is above average, but there are too many average songs.

old school cool

This is pleasant enough, but it’s not Elvis at his best and far from what he’s known for. His take on Fever here is pretty phenomenal and there are some other strong cuts, but none of the raw rock energy that he made his mark with.

Fever is a great showcase of Elvis’s voice over the lonesome bass. It’s fantastic, along with a couple of other good hip shakers, but they are not enough to carry the album higher.

The King returns from his stint in the army. The album leans more on his ballad side but there are still some classic rock numbers here. Best Tracks: Fever; Dirty, Dirty Feeling; Reconsider Baby

I'm probably a little odd in that I like very, very early Elvis, and very, very late Elvis. At a push I would say the latter is my preferred listening. The completely bloated showman, just about holding it all together for one last stand. Which means that this album sits somewhere in the middle. It hasn't got the rawness of the pre-army period, or the polished production just before he copped it on the shitter. It's decent, but you can already sense the Hollywood mediocre years that were to follow.

nice and cozy album, nothing special though

Yeah this was fun. I could do more Elvis.

Usually dislike Elvis but this wasn't too bad. Some nice mix of sounds in here

Eh. Most of the songs were boring. Fever and It Feels So Right were highlights

typical elvis rock and roll album with fever as its main selling point as a more slow song, its typical elvis style so it isn't bad but it doesn't really set itself apart either

Nice

Identifying Elvis - it’s Elvis

Good rock and roll. "Fever" is buttery-smooth and really shows Presley's versatility.

Oops, missed this one apparently. Not really a big Elvis guy, and this is largely forgettable, but it's nice to listen to in the moment. The only thing that makes it remotely essential, though, is "Fever", which is sick. D+

Elvis might be overrated, but this record does a good job at capturing his creative and technical range. It’s not all that exciting instrumentally, but there’s really nobody that can play these angles quite like the king. Blues, jazz, pop, rock, country western… it’s all just a day at the office for this guy – I really adore his flexibility and comfort in every sphere. His voice is rock solid, that sugary sweet timbre can dig out some deep notes as well as hit a few pristine highs, and that signature buttery vibrato is a world beater. I’ve heard oodles of Elvis before, but you can still color me impressed by this record. Big dig. 3.5

solid 3

Met expectations.

Elvis does have a pretty great voice, and a lot of this is a good listen. But some lyrics are, um, maybe not so cool… “That’s when I drag you home with me, girl. I’m gonna chain you to the wall.”

I was hopeful going into this, but there are much better Elvis albums. This is fairly bland as Elvis albums go, with just a couple of notable songs. The ballads are better than most of the up-tempo numbers, with the exception of "Such a Night," which is a genuine delight and the best song on the album. Fave Songs: Such a Night, Thrill of Your Love, Soldier Boy, Reconsider Baby

Definitely Elvis

Pretty darn good.

Good enough

I like the 50s Elvis and I even like the later "comeback" Elvis but this stuff in the early and middle 60s just doesn't hold up for me over the course of an album. I think the backing vocals of The Jordanaires are what blow it for me actually. I'd rather just have Elvis front and center with a stripped down backing band behind him like in the Sun days.

I mean, it's Elvis. Clearly a 5 for cultural impact. But in terms of listening pleasure it's a 3 for me, not my thing. But, fun to listen to and think about all the music after Elvis that was inspired.

Första albumet med Elvis jag har lyssnat på

It's fine. A little slow for me. I've never been an Elvis person.

Some bangers here, Elvis was back in 60. Man was slanging dick tho.

Alright for elvis

Done

In retrospective, you can say, it's a more mature and "different" Elvis. I like his voice and his entertaining style. (5/10) FT: Such a Night

2.5-3/5 I’ve never listened to Elvis outside of his super hits and even then it’s always just been on the radio or when it’s part of a tv show or movie. I can’t really say anything bad about the album, a bit boring or slow at some points but that could just be because I’ve listened to newer music that was built on the foundation Elvis helped set. He does have a great voice and I enjoyed the album but it just isn’t interesting to me outside of a look at the history of rock and roll. Fav Songs: Dirty, Dirty Feeling, Such A Night, Reconsider Baby

I like Elvis. This album was an easy-listening version of him. Nothing here blew me away. Quite short also.

I find elvis pretty hit or miss. Some of the songs were great but I didn't care of others. Favs: Thrill of your love, soldier boy, the girl next door went a'walking Dislikes: like a baby,

I was initially excited to get an Elvis album, but ended up being disappointed. Not that it was bad, but just not the rockabilly that I like from that era of music. Not bad, Elvis’ voice was good, good variety of different styles on the album, but not what I was hoping for.

Elvis in top form, nothing amazing or super original, but such as contrast to the pop music of today: real instruments, doo-wop backup singers, a wide variety of songs and lyrics. Today the best you can hope for is an autotuned singer and a guy with pro tools rehash the same tired drum samples, loops and chord progressions for the millionth time.

Förvånandsvärt bra också. jag trodde jag skulle ogilla det mycket mer än jag gör.

Elvis, maar weinig speciaal. Het knietje echter niet kunnen stilhouden

30 November 2021 Listened in bits through the day at home home before driving back for the Derby. 4-1. Not the bangers you know elvis for which is nice. Fever is a tune.

I like the variation in tempo/sound, but wanted more variation in subject matter. I guess it's what the people wanted at the time. Good track lengths.

I mean, it’s an elvis album

A nice dip into nostalgia. Not his best though.

I am loving this album. So many good ones on this and I can just envision my grandma dancing in her kitchen to this album <3 A few tracks I like are Thrill of Your Love;

Очень добротно

A couple of tracks is about my Elvis limit.

At first, I thought this was going to be a bust, given the soupy backing vocals on the opening track. However, these soon charmed me and despite the largely nondescript material, Presley's voice seduced me. The more up-tempo numbers are the best - 'Thril of Your Love', 'Such a Night', 'It Feels So Right' and especially 'Like a Baby' - but the standout is 'Fever'. One of the slinkiest, sexiest joints ever captured on wax, just sublime!

Post-Army Elvis returns with increased range and improved phrasing AND in stereo! This is a neat portrait of growth from a guy who thought the Army had killed his career. I wouldn't have thought the King was subtle enough to nail 'Fever' but bugger me, he is. A real surprise.

T'was okay.

3.4 - Elvis is probably at his most polished and professional. He hasn't yet gone to seed from barbituates, B-film cameos and fried peanut butter and banana sandwiches. To me it sounds like a Michael Bublé album - just a bit dull.

Standard early Elvis. Nothing really stood out for me and a few of the tracks blurred in to one another. But enjoyable if you are in a 60s rock and roll mood.

No wonder he was so controversial back in the 1950s.

Classic Elvis

My mother in law is a huge Elvis fan. I guess because of that I find him incredibly… dated. This album did not convince me otherwise. The songs were too “boppy”. A few sounded okay, but it felt really stuck in the 50s.

It’s fine, nothing to write home about

My first Elvis album, and must say an interesting experience. There are elements i loved including his crooning voice and smooth feeling of the album, but it is a bit too old for me. While all songs were good, none were that memorable after a couple of listens and captured my interest to specifically search for one on Spotify. I must say it did make me want to explore more of his music and listen to some of his hits. Looking forward for more Elvis in the future.

It's Elvis. Not sure what else to say about it.

Alright

3.5, entertaining

Nice

Elvis's voice sounds nice and is recorded well, with consistent depth and the signature swagger when it's called for. However, everything suffers a bit from the commerciality (silly to criticize The King for, of course), and the slow cuts are especially underwhelming. Fever is the clearest high point with its interplay of voice and percussion. Like A Baby is an example of a slow song done well. The rest is decent-to-good.

2.5 | No soy ningún experto de Elvis, no conozco cronológicamente su evolución lo suficiente como para quizá apreciar correctamente la importancia de este disco. Primero me pregunté por qué este disco, ahora entiendo el furor y la idea de que fuera el primer album que sacara después de haber realizado su servicio en la guerra. Afortunadamente lo que sí puedo notar es una amplia variedad musical. Aun sin el contexto histórico es un buen disco, Elvis suena bien, su banda suena bien, la producción suena bien. me gusta. Aún me queda la duda realmente, para un músico que fue tan prolífico ¿por qué elegir este para la lista? Incluso con el contexto mencionado... no hay hits ni canciones famosas de él. Hablamos de una persona que tuvo quizá más de 20 super hits en su carrera y ¿eligen el disco en el que vienen cero? Como mencioné, la calidad de grabación, la banda, la voz, todo muy bien pero nada salta al frente. Algunas baladas, se siente mucho cómo se va a ir alejando de ese doowop (creo que solo Girl of My Dreams me sonó a ese estilo) y se irá convirtiendo en esa mezcla de romántico y pop. Disco muy decente, muy escuchable... pero aun con mi ignorancia sobre el detalle del resto de su discografía no siento que sea una gran elección para esta lista.

Creo que este disco está muy bajo en el sentido del beat, supongo que para atraer de nuevo al público después de la ausencia de Elvis. Buena fórmula, no le siento nada mal solo que no le veo mayores rolas fuera de soldier boy y tener la original de "enamorado de la novia de mi mejor amigo"

Great period piece. Music depended on the strength of the performance and Elvis was up to the challenge. My parents probably danced to this

Its solid Elvis but no standouts other than the Fever cover.

Better than the last Elvis album we listened to. Fun at times, we should mix him in with other playlists. Exhausting for a whole album.

Elvis is really not normally my cup of tea but I actually highly enjoyed this album. Although it did seem a tad samey by the end, which is common for albums in that time period it seems. Not something that’s going to inspire me to dive into his other albums though

The harmonies on I will be home again are exquisite

It's hard to process this as anything other than a historical artifact tbh. It's not bad, but i got nothing from it, apart from wanting to listen to the Alec Empire vs Elvis album again.

I liked more the Bluesy songs, great guitar by Scott Moore, Elvis' voice not bad either

It's Elvis

This is my first Elvis album. To be honest, It wasn't bad. Elvis has some solid pipes Make me know it feels like a classic, same with Fever. The girl of my best friend is good, but it feels weird to vibe to it. The Classic "I'm in love with the woman I can't have song" It's solid though, Just so many of them. Overall, I'd recommend.

3.5

Listen to Elvis before, Elvis has an amazing voice just not my type of music 3/5

Never been a big fan, but this one is much more soulful than his first rock n roll records. He masters his voice and the sound of this record is much better than his others before the army.

I didn't think it was anything super interesting or unique.

Pretty decent. Not a huge fan, but still good

(Listened to some songs before but never full album) This was a solid pop/blues record and I enjoyed most of it. It would jump from sounding inspired at points to sounding a bit trite, but overall liked it. Conflicted between 3 and 4 stars for it. Favorite Songs: I Will Be Home Again, Soldier Boy, It Feels So Right Least Favorite Songs: The Girl of My Best Friend, Dirty, Dirty Feeling

Good album, nice to see Elvis do new things

Good Elvis listening record with a little less R&B flair.

Alright overall, not sure how I feel about Elvis tbh

Great vocal range and delivery shows up on all different genres on this album. Also the backing band is stellar. 3 1/2

Interesting album that showcases Elvis' ambitions to move into different genres, and maybe reinvent himself. But despite the album featuring a bunch of different popular late 50s genres, they're all isolated in separate tracks. Would have like to feel a sense of cohesion.

Really strong record from the King. Versatile and well-heeled but maybe a little less immediate rock and roll energy than his earlier records. 3.5/5 Favourite track: "Such a Night"

Album de bastantes canciones lentas de Elvis. No es un mal disco (tiene una de mis canciones favoritas de él), pero no es de todo mi agrado.

No está mal pero no es My style

Could be higher if the first half was same standard as the brilliant second half.

Really enjoyed, would've gotten 4* if he have actually done any song writing

First half was alright but the second half of the album was fantastic

Has its ups and downs. The vocal on Fever is amazing. Dirty Dirty Feeling & Such A Night are undiscovered gems.

On the short side at 30 mins. Over by the time you feel its just getting started.

Kinda neutral. Definitely okay, but the only song that grabbed me enough to distract from work was "Fever" 3/5

Elvis does have quite the nice voice, I must say

I like it, but I don't really love it.

Me simpatiza el sujeto pero tampoco soy fan acérrimo. Fever es brutal, eso sí. Las mejores canciones en este disco son siempre las baladas, eso es algo que aprendes con el tiempo, creo. Escapa a la narrativa de sus caderas y el rock de la cárcel. Tiene una gran voz para las baladas y medios tiempos, una muy influyente yo creo, están las semillas ahí de las voces más graves en el rock que nos dan todo lo oscuro: Jim Morrison, Iggy, Nick Cave, todo eso.

This was pretty strong, I really liked the last two tracks with the bluesy sax going to town. Some solid covers as well

Aan Elvis kun je je nooit een bult vallen.

Dirty, dirty feelings vond ik leuk. Verder wel ok om eens een keer naar te luisteren.

Positiivinen yllätys, että levyllä oli vähän sielukkaampaakin slovaria eikä pelkkää "elvis-rokkia". Ei kuitenkaan mikään kovin mieleenpainuva tai erityisen tunteita herättävä levy.

Bien, interesantes, pero en periodos alejados unos de otros.

Muy Elvis. Voz espectacular

I don't immediately hate this. the first track is pleasant. Fever is a good restrained second track. yea this was okay.

Some familiar songs on this Fever, which is has been covered by other artists. Has a bit of old, classic country but mostly typical 50's music. Didn't realize how good Elvis' voice actually is all throughout. 6/10.

Lively! Not really my style though

- Make Me Know It is fun but fades out mid-verse, where you goin?! - Fever super groovy - First listen 6.5-7/10 - Second listen 6.5/10. Elvis is super fun. Ooooh reconsider babaaaaay

Not his best album, but pretty good and easy to appreciate. Not necessarily my jam, but I liked it.

Rock, blues, folk.

Gutes Album für Verliebte, für Singles eher nicht so!

Some good songs. Fever, the last track. I will be home again.

Not my favorite but nit bad at all

He had better. 3/5

Its elvis

Good to hear some Elvis I hadn't heard before

Good

Sure. 3.5

Not bad

I'm mixed with elvis, he's alright, i know he did change music, but its so so my style

I liked Elvis but it wasn't the best elvis

Ok, it's Elvis

Not the best Elvis album.

ah men det var faktiskt ganska trevligt. uppskattar ett snabbt album.

3.5 stars

Elvis doesn't play a character on this album, which means it's probably his best one. Best track: Fever

So he is alive?

Standard elvis…. Few too many ballads to mark any higher!

No ei kyllä ihan lähtenyt tämä. Mulle Elvis on aina ollut hyvin vahvasti Greatest Hits -artisti, eikä tämä levy saanut kyllä kelkkaa kääntymään. Aika mitäänsanomaton. Mutta on tässä haasteessa paljon paskempaakin kamaa tullut vastaan.

Wouldn’t seek it out.

I understand that Elvis was huge during this period and I mostly know his music from what you hear without looking. He has some good songs but none on this album. Its just, kinda boring?

2/4

There's all sorts of Elvis songs and moments I enjoy but this did not seem to have much to do with them. I don't know an alternate album to suggest... I most enjoy his early Sun Records stuff which was before the LP era. Anyway I am sure I would have preferred to spend 40 minutes with him in some other format.

I'm not very high on this. The post-Army era of Elvis seems to be a real mixed bag for Elvis and outside of a few tracks here, I found this kind of cheesy. The "Fever" cover is undoubtedly the highlight. 2.5 stars.

Okay

somehow, Elvis returned…

Never got the hype

Elvis-scepticism remains... Kicks off with some cracking work by the Jordanaires, but covering Fever is a foolish move. Elvis ballads are boring, but the doo-wop stuff can be good - see Thrill of Your Love, Soldier Boy. Maybe I just like the Jordanaires?

I am annoyed by how many people on Youtube are saying that Elvis was the best blues singer of all time. This is insulting to the individuals that originated the blues. I was pretty bored by this album.

I do like his voice but I thought these songs were not the best.

Elvis is boring the shit out of me

Uninspired

How did I manage to get my second Elvis album in the span of 2 days the odds feel really weird on that one. I think with me having literally just listened to 'Elvis Presley', it's kind of confirmed an initial thought I had, which was that Elvis is not so much a musician, rather, he is more a recording artist I feel. Other than his singles, I just don't really find his catalog, particularly strong. And with this album I felt that the singles were much weaker. I'm not saying this is a particularly bad album. It's not egregious in any distinct way, but it has no hook that interests me. I really can't remember most of the songs after listening to them and I can't really comment on much more than that. I just don't feel Elvis really has a POV, and I just feel that Elvis as a character is more interesting than Elvis as an artist. Fav Track: The Girl Of My Best Friend

this is like AI slop lofi to me. Unfortunately I enjoy it until you point out that it's actually unsubstantial, then I can't un-hear it :/

Elvis. Elvis, Elvis, Elvis…. Elvis. ELVIS!! ELVIS IS BACK, BABY!!! 1960, 4-ish years before the first Beatles Breakthrough, and 3 years before Bob Dylan dropped his first 10/10 album. People, we are in for a relic. I can’t say it’s good, but I see the importance. Elvis’s voice is really very pretty, if a bit polite, and the backup singers are the same. It lacks soul, and it is often vapid and unimportant in a way that isn’t very enjoyable, but it can also be pleasant enough. Has some very nice piano and drum tones, and it’s pleasant-ish. No, I did not enjoy this album very much, but I have no hard feelings toward it. 5.4/10

I liked the 50's sound of the music!! Nothing really hooked me though.

As usual, Elvis expertly tailors his voice to the material and squeezes every drop of emotion out of these numbers but lordy, what a weak set of songs he has to work with on this collection. Aside from the indestructible "Fever" and gritty "Reconsider Baby", this stuff is Corny with capital "C". The hokey, over-the-top backing vocals by the Jordainaires are also a big gloppy mayo-laden scoop of potato salad next to that corn. Guh-ross.

Theres only so many times you can listen to Elvis say the words “love” “girl” and “kiss” 5 / 10

Boring outside the Soulja Boy collab 2/5

Elvis is back , but who cares . Not sure why this is on the list . A more mature Elvis with a resonant voice but the songs are all just meh . Apart from the great “Fever”. Meh if not got Otis Blackwell who was a genius.

An Elvis album but without any of his hits?

I just really haven’t enjoyed Elvis albums. I can barely tolerate one off songs… he’s not bad but his schtick gets old quick

I don’t mind a bit of Elvis tbf, not sure on listening to an entire album of him though. Got a bit samey halfway through. Didn’t hate it though. It’d be 2.5 rating if i could

El disco que lanzó justo antes de arruinarle la existencia a Priscilla... Igual hay altos temas. Like a Baby approved ✅️ No termino de comulgar igual.

Я не можу отримувати будь-яке задоволення від музики, де є така кількість естрадних бек-вокалів. До самого Елвіса мало питань, чудовий виконавець.

I'm not familiar with most of these Elvis songs. He always brings it though. I always think of him and Sinatra as the ultimate, and maybe last great, interpreters of songs that others wrote without apology. Now you have to be a songwriter of record, even if it means there are thirty writers on each song (Beyonce was an integral part of the process on all of those songs, I'm sure). Fever is a good song, although I like the Peggy Lee version much better. Elvis had a great voice. Dirty, Dirty Feeling has a Yakety Sax vibe. Elvis is the original pop star, there is no politics in this. These songs all kind of blend together unfortunately...it becomes "Generic Elvis Song" after a while.

The musical equivalent of Starbucks. I feel like I should like it, everyone else seems to sing its praises; it is a household name and apparently a trailblazer in their field; it opened up the game for more artists who wanted to copy them. But when it comes down to it... it's basically just a shitty cup of coffee. Its bland and lifeless. I can see why people loved it when they first tried it, as it was like nothing they had had before. But essentially new coffee does it better, this is just a brand name and tired.

He's no Eddie Cochrane

I actually like 6 songs of the 13 from the original release, with stand-outs being: Fever, It Feels So Right, Like A Baby, and Reconsider Baby. Otherwise, just crap. Because of those pathetic/bathetic songs, at best this is 3 stars. But really, as an album, the best/worst of Elvis (who I don't like at all), I can only give 2 stars because the bad shit is so fricking bad. Historically bad crap.

Slick produced version of the pre army Elvis. I prefered the bit rockier version.

There's always room for Elvis but not for a whole album. Cool songs but as album this doesn't rock for me.

#423 / 1089 Heard before? ❌ Revisit? ❌ I've no interest in this album nor the artist. I've heard some of these tracks, but since his music has never held any interest for me, I wouldn't know their names. I feel like this is a 1, but his voice is nice so 2/5

The thing about Elvis' albums is that you get 1 or 2 notable songs at most and then the rest is whatever filler they had lying around. This one is no different, in fact I'd argue it is particularly scant as far as hits are concerned. We got Elvis' pretty good version of "Fever" and... nothing else? Maybe some other of these songs became famous in its day, but alas that fame seems to be lost to time. Key tracks: Fever

His voice is good and the music is good, but there is just something that doesn't work for me. Elvis has always sounded "old' to my ears. I absolutely love some of his work, but not this, although, I did enjoy his rendition of Fever.

Elvis

Boring as hell. Made me want to fall asleep

This is fine. It’s what I expected. Nothing dangerous, very smoothed out and packaged. Fever is a little interesting, but overall a boring record.

it's a typical elvis record. tastes vanilla.

There's exactly one song on here that I really liked, that would be Fever. That's about it. He's clearly a very good performer, taking songs he didn't write and making them his own. He's a great singer, especially when he is /not/ doing that one voice that everyone imitates nowadays. But that's about it for me. This album as a whole...I wanted more versatility, more expression outside of that one cool song.

C’est pas vraiment mon style mais c’était sympa en fond, même si j’ai pas écouté l’album en plein.

c’est comme un mauvais mélange en soirée, ça soule vite. en vrai c’était pas si pire mais aucune chanson m’a marqué et j’avais tellement envie que ça se termine. Un peu triste parce que je connais pas mal de sa discographie et y’a vraiment mieux

J'avais jamais vraiment écouté du Elvis Presley avant, mais c'est très bien, on est là pour les découvertes. C'est pas ma tasse de thé, je vois bien l'album en musique de fond dans un film américain ou sinon dans un restaurant, mais ça s'arrête là. Ah non peut-être pour danse il pourrait être sympa ?

⭐⭐ Det skaver inte men det imponerar inte heller. Enskilda spår engagerar men lika många känns tama och lite mellanmjölk och vissa gränsar till konstiga val eller för snälla/smöriga produktioner, jag hade önskat lite grit. Det är inte ett album jag kommer komma tillbaka till så det blir en 2a. Bäst är Such a night, The girl next door went a walking,

A couple of good songs, a lot of doo-wap filler

I've heard it said that you're either a Beatles person or an Elvis person - you can like both or neither, but you'll prefer one, and I prefer The Beatles. I can appreciate Elvis's importance but the style impresses me less than the content. I've also heard it said he was never the same after the army, and this shows it. Fever is one of my favourite songs and his version is fine, but doesn't come close to Peggy Lee's. The other songs are fine but inoffensive rather than interesting. A strong 2.

This was only OK

The war improved his singing and stylistic variety, but I just find it kind of dull.

Eh

As far as Elvis goes this album falls flat.

Exactly what you expect from an Elvis album. Generally not my type of music.

i like elvis, but his albums make no sense. its not like the stuff is meant to fit next to each other.

This guy gives me the ick.

going to listen now

Sounds like an Elvis Pressley impersonator doing covers of other people's greatest hits. Oh wait…

Cool little album to throw on in the background, but virtually no replay value for me here.

If Elvis is your thing, then this is probably good. I can see the appeal.

ist halt elvis

Hans stemme lyder super godt men det er den kedeligste samling sange vi endnu har haft med ham

If you don't duwap, you're not gonna like this Best of duwap duwap

this is an album of the movie Elvis. Fun songs, makes me think this is the soundtrack to one of his movies of this era. Would not put it on again, but it might be fun to listen to. I would not buy this

I get why Elvis was popular when he was active. But 60 years on, I think we're ready to move on from the idea of him being a good musician and just a historically relevant one.

Thank you very much.

Sure

2.5
