Did we REALLY need to experience this? I’m assuming Back to Black is also on the list and that would suffice for this sound.

I just don't get the hype

Not for me

Somehow more vile than Back to Black. Impressive.

Sorry Amy but I don't like your music. Although she was probably a genuine credible artist, she was still packaged like the X Factor artists they were trying to differentiate from. I remember this album being advertised on the TV, like Micheal Bublé albums were, and that was like the kiss of death for me back then. Musically and vocally it's competent, but it's boring.

While Amy's voice is undeniably powerful, the overwhelming subject matter of the songs (men) made the album feel like it droned on. 'October Song', 'Amy Amy Amy' and the jazz musicians were the highlights.

Hate her voice, hate her personality, there are better singers in my extended family

Insipid pseudo-jazz and poppy neo-soul music. Uninspired songwriting, sometimes verging into terrible. Overwrought, brash, headache-inducing vocals with some very forced quirks/flourishes. Loud and unpleasant mixing/mastering to boot. Never understood what the appeal was. 1*

Not a fan

This is garbage, not gonna lie. Lyrically, musically, compositionally -- just derivative and starkly immature. A few interesting trumpet runs bogged down in boring arrangements don't save it from the "no thanks" pile. Circling back to the lyrics again -- so, so, so jarringly infantile and irritatingly over-enunciated and oversung.

Me no likey Too squeaky for me

She's kind of an insipid, mean girl pick-me-girl, isn't she?

Her voice is awful on this album. Terribly tragic. Much like Amy.

Not good. I don;t understand the hype. There are MUCH better jazz/soul albums out there. This wasn't even entertaining as background music. While I don;t wish that she had died, it was probably the most entertaining thing about her.

First listen

Imagine being a 25 year old guy dating Amy Winehouse and you’re going through some stuff so she decides to write some songs calling you a pussy. 1.46

Not for me. 1/5

The more I listen to this train wreck the more I understand why she only has 2 songs people remember.

jazz music very slow i dont like it, idont like jazzy music that much

i did not like it because I don't like the beat . i dont like this one ether because all t he songs sounded the same

I'm a big fan of Back to Black (which I fully expect to give 5*s to when it comes up), but this was the first time hearing this album for me. And I'm sorry to say that this was the biggest disappointment I've had on this so far. Ultimately these songs are bad, and they are certainly not saved by Amy's voice (which wavers between 'ok' and 'whiney'). Most of the songs just don't have a good tune (e.g. Fuck me Pumps). And those that hint at good tunes often have tiresome lyrics. Sorry Amy, but this is going in the bin.

1. ztronger - 1.5 2. cherry - 1 3. nouu - 1 4. pumpz - 1 5. blind - 2 6. mood - 1 7. love - 2.5 8. bed - 1 9. boz - 1 10. october - 1 11. men - 1 12. amy - 1 13. outro - 0 14. brother - 1.5 15. magic - 1

Didn’t listen

I don't care about any of this Track 2 picks up in the middle, but that might just be in comparison to how boring the rest of it was. Jesus Christ I though this would be something new, or there would be some extra spark to it. It could be from the early 1900's and sound the exact same. Just why? I also understand why none of this was on the radio. Kinda hate song 4. 8 seems better. Decent melody underneath in verse (keyboard effect?). Or again, maybe getting used to it. I forgot I was listening to this. 10 seems more like a beat than music melodies. Which is honestly a bit better. Still wouldn't want to hear it again. 11 reminds me a little bit of I Get Lonely Oh god this 1920 shit again STOP ALREADY FUCJ Are we done? Cool I'm not doing that again.

This may be the most vapid, self absorbed, and unenjoyable album I’ve heard this year. I did a quick bit of reading about the album before jumping in, and I was promised “jazz”. I fought my way through the record and was left wondering where the jazz is. It’s soulful, I guess? But not in anything more than a superficial way. It’s really impressive just how much Amy Winehouse loved to write songs about herself. It felt like 80% of the lines in this album contained the word “me”, “I”, or “my”. The only discernible story telling or meaning is how much she loves shitty dudes who don’t give a fuck about her and whining about how hard her life is. I truly believe this albums title is an affront to the legacy of Sinatra. I would say the music contained herein is to Frank Sinatra as Oasis is to The Highwaymen. That is to say, entirely unrelated, yet far far worse. I’ve heard for years how incredible her voice is but I don’t really understand, maybe her other album is better? The vocal delivery on this record is just an obnoxious imitation of far more talented singers like Billie Holliday, Ella Fitzgerald, and my personal favourite Nina Simone. 54 minutes of my life that I fear I won’t get back. 1*.

Stronger Than Me

nah

Favorite part was when it ended

Sounds like this girl had one two many of the cocktails at the bar she was singing at.

Honestly not the worst so I can’t give this a one star, but didn’t personally love most of the songs. Really good voice just not my type of music I guess

I am not a fan of Amy Winehouse. This is the first and so far only album I haven't listened to so far. It won't be the last if I come across a Cranberries or another Winehouse album (which I am certain will most likely happen.)

Not Doing it

not my type

I did not like this much. Her voice often sounded like a muted trumpet and that just got annoying after a while. I listened through "Outro" and didn't bother with the rest; I figured that's where it logically ended so I "made it through." 1.5/5

Not my music at all

I don't consider this my cup of tea.

Mi ha rotto il cazzo alla quarta canzone

Bad

This just made me so sad. The band trying so hard, her talent so evident. Downgraded for being a shameless money grab.

Pass

No va

I skipped the first song where she champions toxic masculinity. Then I skipped the second song where she started singing off-key. I listened to a little of the third song for the few seconds it took to find a new album to play.

to jazzy

don’t like Amy Winehouse

Technically impressive singing, subject matter was not for me

Not my cup of tea. Best songs were when she was doing scat and not singing one star.

Unlistenable warbler. Winehouse cannot sing and I suspect her popularity was solely due to the pornographic nature of her song titles. This is trash

Ich dachte, ich schätze AW. Aber diese Platte gefällt mir gar nicht. Ein Stern.

Tuneless and the vox were boring.

Not interested

Very whiney voice. Avoid.

Not my cuppa

Amy's voice makes it listenable, but some of the songwriting and music here is actively bad. I had to skip past a handful of songs and couldn't finish the album in full.

Why is this album on the list. It is totally unremarkable and Back to Black was already included (good album that would not make it on my own 1001 list but one can the rationale for including it in the list).

Overrated!

If nothing else, the background tracks were pretty solid. I really struggled with this album.

Mærkeligt homofobisk, og lidt kedelig. Kom ikke forbi sang 3

Not for me.

couldn't bring myself to finish this. i can't stand her singing.

🤨

2/10

ummmm…. this is a weird choice (once again). this is appropriative, all over the place, and sometimes out of key. i dont understand this. why not pick the polished final album? thebone before she died? the one that straddles pop, rnb, n jazz in a fun and dumb pop way? like, that one is the one. anyway, bloated, long, not good.

Dreadful

More Brit bias evident here. Who cares about this trash? No tunes and an irritating voice, try-hard wannabe '60s lounge singer doomed to sound like a bad parody. I put on Neil Young's "Trans" as a palate cleanser after enduring this, a flawed flash of originality that has infinitely greater claim to be on this list. Ho hum

Imagine singing about a man being gay cuz he loves you--a woman--plus reinforcing gender stereotypes. We're not about that homophobia and transphobia lol

No.

1/5. I don’t know what it is but this definitely ain’t it. Feels so forced and nothing stands out as listenable. Don’t get the Amy winehouse hype, wish I could.

who tf is frank? cringe

I don't really have anything of substance to say about Amy Winehouse. Never got her appeal, still don't. To me, this is a musician who is not noteworthy.

zwaar overschat

No

Frankly dull.

dreary elevator music

not a big fan of the music at all

They tried to make me like this album I said no, no, no

Not a good album. Pretty boring to listen to...1.5/5

I was excited for this but was let down. I think she had an incredible voice but the lounge singer vibe on this album didn't work for me. Nothing stood out.

Maybe good, but not my style

Nope.
