Frank

This is the kind of wailing scatting atonal jazz shit that I absolutely cannot stand. Had to listen in like 30 second stretches with lots of breaks in between. The closest I've ever come to a DNF in over a year of doing this.

Entertaining, not the biggest fan of her voice though

What a generational talent. What Adele wishes she could be.

First I ever heard of Amy Winehouse was literally news about her dying, so coming late to the party here, as usual. Undeniably excellent voice, though at the end of the day if I’m going for lounge music I’d still probably go for Tom Waits first, just the kind of person I am. GF tells me Back to Black is apparently where her best stuff is, though, so looking forward to that one coming up in the rotation.

I love everything about her voice! Her music is timeless and cherished

It’s fine. 2/5

surpringly well written concept album that does not include any of her major hits but still puts her amazing voice on display

Lovely voice. Tragic life. So much wasted beauty

Amy has an impressive voice, and the lounge like setting of the album is kindof interesting. However, overall, I really did not enjoy this at all. 2

Top, bom pra banho e p fuder

What a talent she was. This type of music doesn't get me going, but she did it so well.

Really nice blending of styles, from soul to blues to jazz to indie rock. Wild that this is her first album.

Good stuff from Amy - more laid-back than I expected but none the worse for it

Better than I remembered but too long and not as good as BtB.

Amy Winehouse before she'd fully grown into her stage persona. I liked some songs more than others. Didn't care for the lyrics of "stronger than me".

Never really understood all the hype about Amy Winehouse. Two great songs, but overall it's a boring record. Stronger than me. Amy Amy Amy.

Volim njen glas, al ne bi baš rekla da mi je ovo njen najdraži album

Nice one to listen once. Do not added smth to my playlist.

Maybe good, but not my style

This album was cut from my version of the list, the only Winehouse album on it is Back to Black. Which is as it should be. This album is good, but it's not list-worthy.

schon sehr starkes album, hat mich positiv überrascht

For those who like the genre, I guess they will enjoy. Unfortunately its not my case.

A-Ok.

Amy Winehouse had a great voice, the songs have some interesting lyrics but the music gets a little samey. It's probably an album that would grow on me with more listens. Surprisingly jazzy in places.

Outstanding. No idea why I’ve never heard this before

Couple of interesting songs but on the whole not the most inspiring album the lyrics were a little concieted and self aware.

It's ok but it's not Back to Black is it?

Loses one star just for not being Back to Black.

Another ex-1001 album. If they aren't being removed, then we have an extra 77 albums to get through! 😆 http://1001albumsyoumusthearbeforeyoudie.wikidot.com/album-artists-a-z-ex As expected, great vocals. Arrangements on the first half felt too stripped back, much better in the second half. Enjoyed the nightlife lounge bar vibes.

Frank is the debut album of Amy Winehouse. This album shows that Amy is not only a hype due to her tragic life and death, but that she was indeed a great singer performing with a great personality. She really elevates the mostly old compositions to another level.

i know every word, such a slay. fuck me pumps, double slay album art - deserved better, but good 7/10

first song strong as FUCK cool and funky but not her best 4.5

Nope.

Quite pleasant.

An amazing voice, very personal modern slice-of-nightlife stories with Rat Pack grooves, something old and something new. I should love it but I don't, the style feels overdone and forced, it doesn't connect with me.

Hey Amy!

Sa samo 20 godina!! RESPECT. Ali dosadnjikavo iako ipak njen glas dosta popravi. Iman osjećaj da san za bolji doživljaj tribala pozornije pratit tekst, šta nisan

Volim jako Amy i njen glas koji bi mogla i a capella slušat, nije bas album kojeg bi stavila u favorite favorita ali sviđa mi se osjećajnost i besramno izražavanje ljubavnih jada, we all can relate

Gotta love Amy

V chilled.

Not usually into jazz but honestly it doesn't matter when you hear Amy's voice.

Annoying

A lot of same-ish sounding tracks, but "Amy Amy Amy" rocks and is the most female-gaze song I've ever heard. I'm surprised more of these tracks don't show up on playlists/mixed tapes, but I couldn't tell you which ones I'd go for besides that "Amy Amy Amy"

My girl

כמה רגש ויופי וסול מושלם ליום גשום

Solid album. She has an incredible voice and works with very talented musicians. Really like the jazz and soul vibe.

Amy winehouse made awesome music. Her unique modern r&b and jazz combo is super good. It’s not as good as back to black but it’s still full of bangers. Fav: you sent me flying

A good album of jazz inspired blues-pop the singing is distinctive and unusual in a pop music framework but what keeps me at arms length is that the arrangements don't grab me and I find the melodies difficult and unappealing. 3.5 🌟

Just a solid album all around. She was taken from us too soon :(

Voice is five plus stars, but the songs are a four minus.

Great Album. Back to Black gets a lot of the love, as it should, but this isn't one to sleep on.

I get it, Amy Winehouse was immensely admired as a hero for bad girls who stand up strong. The image her legacy projects now is a tragically damaged woman who was just on the verge of really breaking out to stardom but who, consistent with her character, joined The 27 Club. Listening to this record I don’t hear an empowering message or even any remarkable talent to warrant such acclaim. I just hear brash swagger and the embodiment of Marilyn Monroe’s “if you can't handle me at my worst” quote. No one should feel obligated to put up with bad behavior or meager artistry, much less hold it in such high esteem. Clearly I’m the wrong demographic for this record and I’m not in a situation in this world where I would look up to her. Somehow I’m a big fan of Esthero, a fundamentally “similar” artist, but there is some inflection point between the two. In any case, a chronic gripe I have with this list, “Frank” is not the best from Amy Winehouse to promote as essential in place of “Back to Black.” Deeper in the crate does not equate with more essential.

The first (only?) artist on @1001_albums_gen i'd met and being a Camdenite of course know Frank inside out. And what an incredible voice Amy had. I know there is idolisation of stars that die too early - but not here, what a huge, massive loss.

Liked ut

such a voice

Couldve been worse
