Here's Little Richard

I think a whole album was a bit much - I think it would benefit from a little (Richard) and often approach.

Decent album but filed under this is a massively influential album for multiple genres of music. Great voice and charisma

Shouty man! But it's infectious, isn't it?

I feel like listening to Little Richard in only a few instances: 1. At a Johnny Rockets 2. In a 50's period piece 3. In a class on the history of rock music. He's definitely incredibly talented and influential, but this is pretty dated and I won't see myself listening to it again.

Old School RnR. Quite ok.

If you've heard at least a handful of other songs from the 1950s decade, you can tell by listening to this debut album from Little Richard that he was onto something special; he was a key person leading the charge in the progression of music toward rock and roll. One rock and roll "technique" that Little Richard pioneers heavy use of here is loud, gritty, wailing vocals, complete with high-pitched "woos" and "hoos"; all of which would become signature Little Richard music traits. I was never the biggest Little Richard fan, but I would say I have grown to enjoy his music at a base level. It is fun and intoxicating in a way; it's no wonder that his pioneering ways caught on. Still, here on this debut album, everything sounds baseline the same to me. I would say Little Richard's debut album deserves a spot on this project, without a doubt, as his effect on music post-1950s is paramount. I would describe my personal enjoyment as still within the 'average' range, though.

little richard? more like little cutie

Was great at the time

Classic, I’ll be listening again

March 2nd

While a landmark record in it’s time, Here’s Little Richard is likely most known these days for the singles that have stood the test of time. Tutti Fruity, Long Tall Sally, Slippin’ and Slidin’, are all songs that still remain enjoyable. However, in album form, they get lost in the shuffle of too many same sounding songs. Richard’s energy is always at an 11, the main star of this show, and the only reason to see it through. For a certain generation, this is a 5/5 album, but only because nothing like it existed before it hit. Rock has evolved so far from it at this point that it’s hard to look past its simple nature. Still fun to play, but not one that warrants many repeat listens.

Little Richard wrote great songs as it is evident on this album. I just don't know if he works on this length because many things sound similar.

Wop bop a loo bop a lop bom bom, Tutti frutti, oh rootie, Tutti frutti, oh rootie, Tutti frutti, oh rootie, Tutti frutti, oh rootie, Tutti frutti, oh rootie. Wop bop a loo bop a lop bom bom, Tutti frutti, oh rootie, Tutti frutti, oh rootie, Tutti frutti, oh rootie, Tutti frutti, oh rootie, Tutti frutti, oh rootie. Wop bop a loo bop a lop bom bom, Tutti frutti, oh rootie, Tutti frutti, oh rootie, Tutti frutti, oh rootie, Tutti frutti, oh rootie, Tutti frutti, oh rootie. Wop bop a loo bop a lop bom bom, Tutti frutti, oh rootie, Tutti frutti, oh rootie, Tutti frutti, oh rootie, Tutti frutti, oh rootie, Tutti frutti, oh rootie. tutti frutti

fun proto-rock from the 50s kinda like chuck berry 3.5

It's all the same song, but it is Little Richard.

Score: 50 I dont know the history of this album but all I can imagine is a fat bastard producer with a lit cigar and his fingers cradled together menacingly under his chin in the back of the room as they perform the music. It is scientifically engineered to be the most "get up and move your ass" music it could have possibly been for back in the day. This album really only has 3 songs; tutti fruiti, the slower song, and the other song. little richards voice is genuinely interesting to listen to, and sometimes he screams so loud it actually peaks the audio. this imperfect production actually adds to music to make it feel more human. Its not great music, and its certaintly not bad, but it isnt something i would come back to again

I like it but can this thing stop giving me old people music

not my favorite, but ahead of its time.

Going into the wayback machine here. One of my struggles in my amateur music criticism is how to treat pre-Beatles/Dylan/Beach Boys rock music as i respect it more than like it (with the exception proving the rule being Jerry Lee Lewis’ Live at the Star Club album). With the 50s, I do better with jazz, country (Hank Williams) and pop (Frank Sinatra) than I do with rock. To some extent, I recognize that rock fans in the 50s just didn’t listen to music the way I do. The context of listening to an album such as this as an A-side/B-side exercise is more palatable than 30 minutes in a row, where just about anything from this era is skeletal and samey when compared to the revolution in sound about to come. For what it’s worth, this is the problem with early hip hop for me as well, where it really isn’t until Paul’s Boutique/3 Feet High/It Takes A Nation of Millions that I’m locked in and loaded. That’s a long-winded lead in to simply state I recognize the importance and influence, but this isn’t really for me. Tutti Frutti, Long Tall Sally, and Rip It Up absolutely rock. And the other tunes I’d bop my head to at the local diner. But as a digestible album, this is short yet still tiring. A case where the parts are greater than the sum. Some of those parts are damn good though, which is why this gets a 3.

I think in terms of influence and significance to music history, this is definitely a 5/5. I terms of personal enjoyment... I think I agree that these songs weren't really meant to be played back to back. I enjoyed each of the songs but I found them to be a little same-y.

really can hear a straight line from this album to so many other classics. can’t believe this holds up so well, little Richard fucking rips on some of these as well. best tracks: tutti frutti, ready teddy, oh why

Little Richard was someone who I hadn't heard a lot of music, but would always see him every year in the Pee Wee Herman Christmas Special singing on the ice. OOOO WEEEE PEE WEEE. I also watched Elvis last year and he was portrayed in that movie, along with Tutti Frutti as a song if I'm remembering correct so it was cool to see that the two of them knew each other. This was a fun album but it also became pretty repetitive with the hooks and repetition. Only so many different words you can rhyme together in the same vein "tutti frutti" "ready teddy" "long tail sally" etc. They all sound the same, same beats and very similar vocal range. Again, this was him making his mark and I respect that for the late 50's, but this would not fly in today's age. Thinking again of To Pimp a Butterfly and how no two songs are similar.

This album is No. 14 on the list and the only rock and rollers that precede him are Elvis and Fats Domino. Notably, Ray Charles and James Brown follow him so Little Richard was one of the Originals. When listening to oldies like this I consciously try ignore the cliched melodies and hooks that sound so overdone today because back in '57 this was cutting edge and original material. So although a lot of this album sounds samey now, it influenced a shit-ton of black and wanna-be black artists, yes I'm looking at you Beatles and Rolling Stones.

The energy in this album is amazing. Every song has him being putting 100% into the vocals. This album really makes me want to go watch The Blues Brothers. There honestly seems to be very little variety between each track. I think there are actually only 3 real songs on the album, that just get rotated and different lyrics added. I think the sort of repetitiveness is offset by the fact that each track is so short. Nothing really outstays its welcome. Overall a really fun album.

He must have been a blast to see live. High energy. Fun listen. Very short if the demos and interview aren’t included.

It was pretty good, a couple of real classic songs on here

Diwang.

Another good fun listen but the only standout for me was Tutti Frutti.

Voor eeuwig fomo dat ik dit niet live in de jaren 60 heb kunnen zien en meemaken, want ik denk dat dat echt magisch was geweest! Leuk om te luisteren een keer maar zou het niet mega snel nog een keer opzetten Eigenlijk 3,5

Little Richard de echte koning van rock & roll. Heerlijk album, luistert makkelijk weg. 3,5

Bangers

Felt a little repetitive, but still good enough of a listen. Probably wouldn't revisit except for the classics.

I really didn't expect to see this album here despite it being a classic. Extremely influential and definitely a product of its time. You just had to be there, though. Fave track(s): Can't Believe You Wanna Leave

i mean it was good but a lot of the songs from that era sound very similar and you can only listen for so long.

Not my usual kind of music, but you simply can't deny the pipes on Little Richard, his vocals were simply amazing throughout. While I appreciated the energy, by halfway through everything kinda started to feel same-y and I found myself getting a little bored. Top tracks: Tutti Frutti, Miss Ann, and Oh Why?

What else is to be said?

Little Richard! An album! Little Richard! An album! Whoop whoop whoop! ^ basically every song

Here’s Little Richard

Lil' Richard skeet skeet

This was alright. I can understand why people like it. Rock and roll is not my genre, so it didn’t really elicit a strong reaction.

Catchy, full of energy, good vocals and good instrumentals. Very good album. 8/10

Classic for a reason. Interesting variations on 12 bar blues, but by the end of the album some songs were indistinguishable. Favorite: Oh Why?

Notes - Debut album from rock n roll artist little Richard - Seen as an important record for the development of rock n roll as a genre - One part of this was richard’s use of “even 8ths” on the piano rather than swung 8ths - And his loud, brash vocal delivery - All the songs here are like 2, 2.5 minutes long and kind of blend together except for a couple standouts - Chorus Verse chorus verse chorus - This album has a ton of distortion caused by the louder elements of the recording but it adds and fills in the sound - I bet the artwork was very exciting against the other releases of the time Fav - Can’t believe you wanna leave - Great vocal performance! Least fav - Slippin and slidin - Kinda by-the-numbers rock n roll song 3.5/5

7,5/10

It was fine. Not good, not bad, just fine.

Small Richard

Pretty amazing for a record that is 65 years old, however, I still lean more towards impressive for the time versus a record I want to put on my record player on a Sunday afternoon. 3.5/5

Nice oldie rock and roll. Tutti Frutti is a jam. 3.5/5

Pionero del primer rock n'roll. Mucho ritmo y voz entusiasta

klassikkohajan nämä. hyvä meno. toivoisin enemmän albumikokonaisuutta, mutta eipä sitä voi 50-luvun levyltä vaatia

Laulajan ääni on hämmästyttävän muokkautuvainen ja androgyyni, mutta se ei ole mikään suosikkini: kaipaan raspiselta huutolaululta kotikutoisempaa, vähemmän metallista sointia. Hätkähdyttävimmillään ääni onkin hiljaisemmilla kappaleilla, joissa poikamainen karjuja vaihtuu 60-vuotiaaksi blueskuningattareksi. Toisaalta juuri tavaramerkkihuuto sävyttää esimerkiksi Tutti Fruttia, joka saa tarttuvuudeltaan skeptikonkin uskomaan, että mielemme eivät ole yksittäisiä monadeja, vaan toistensa kanssa suhteessa, jossa niiden ei tarvitse edes kuulla tämän kaltaisia hittejä tunteakseen ne.

There's not much to the songs. But the delivery is absolutely killer

[concede influence in formation of rock and roll] [mention elvis] [observe that it seems like there may have been three songs repeated a number of times with different lyrics] [admit to increasing score because of nostalgia] [lament lack of the ability to capture more dynamic range in older recording technology] [apologize for not giving a higher score]

10/02 Refreshing for how soulful it sounded. Couple groovy songs. Loved the pace and energy. Fish’s bday:))

Influential album, great for it's time. High energy bops. Got a bit stale and repetitive. Knew - Tutti Frutti, Long Tall Sally Standouts - Ready Teddy, True Fine Mama

Of the many things I love about Little Richard, these songs aren't any of them. I think this is certainly where I must have first encountered this interesting and electrifying persona, but probably not the one I remember most. If you aren't watching him do his thing in a video, the music just cannot fully convey his entirety.

Wow, Little Richard is WILD! Tons of energy coming from this. Jenny Jenny is perfect example. I'm guessing this broke down some barriers at the time. Tutti Frutti ... what is that euphemism again?

I thought I would like having more songs in the vein of "Tutti Frutti," but a lot of "Here's Little Richard" blended together and didn't particularly stand out.

The sound is high-energy, it's classic, and the importance of Little Richard on the trajectory of both rock and roll and desegregation of musical audiences cannot be overstated. That being said, there are really only two songs (Tutti Frutti and Long Tall Sally sound almost identical while Can't Believe You Want to Leave and Miss Ann are slower but very similar to eachother).

Little Richard shines most on his high tempo, high energy numbers. These numbers (Tutti Frutti, Readdy Teddy) remind me a bit of Jerry Lee Lewis’s Live At The Star Club, Hamburg. The slower songs are fine too, but they don’t get my juices flowing.

He was quite an entertainer and for 1950s Rock n Roll, he was an important part of the progression of rock. How is this album to listen to today, in the 2020s? Tutti Frutti is still an all time classic. Others: I Can't Believe You Want to Leave, Ready Teddy, Long Tall Sally, Oh Why? Rip It Up, Jenny Jenny. 3/5

too young for Little Richard, but it's a good album to listen to on a Friday!

Unmatched energy

Nice music for a oldies party, but so outdated to listen to casually. Quality is good though

There were two songs on this album: Tutti Frutti and ones that sounded like he was trying to recreate the success of Tutti Frutti. Didn't hate it. 3.

oldie but Goldie

Overrated but undeniable in it's influence, Oh Why? is a great track I'd not heard before

I enjoyed it somewhat (bit samey), but I respect it a lot. One of a handful of albums (as far as albums go anyway - I guess the singles on the radio & raucous live performances were more important back then?) that can claim to have kickstarted rock ’n’ roll. Plus unlike that Elvis fella Richard actually seems to have written most of his own songs.

Huh, turns out I know way more Little Richard than I realised. Decent. Made me wanna boogie.

little richard was exciting i suppose in a way that the music was funky and cool but that’s all.

normally I find a lot of early rock and roll very similar to each other, and that makes it hard to dig into, but this album was very refreshing and beyond the defining hits had a lot more to offer the genre.

Fun, upbeat, dated

Sain mitä odotin.

Melkoinen hittiputki kyllä. Ei ehkä koko levyn mittaisena kantanut, mut yksittäiset biisit hyviä.

The first song tutti frutti inspired that last song on the movie Grease. Also Rip it Up was in the movie La Bamba so it is a good sounding record. First released in 1957, I prefer this sound over that 60's psychedelic rock sound.

C'est le genre d'album qu'il est difficile à juger aujourd'hui. Son apport à la musique est indéniable, mais les textes sont trop simples, les beats sont pareils d'une chanson à l'autre (y'en a au moins 2-3 qui sont semblables à Tutti Fruty), les chansons durent 2m30... Tous les bands qui s'en sont influencé ont perfectionné sa formule, ce qui fait qu'en rétrospective l'album a pas mal moins d'impact. J'ai bien aimé la 4e chanson (en dehors des deux plus connues) et sa voix quand elle casse, mais sinon on a juste l'impression d'écouter les mêmes chansons, dans un album heureusement pas trop long.

Little Richard has a great voice for that type of music. I like the rock sound but it still feels very poppy

Oud niet perse mijn stijl maar was wel interessant

Decent, but more of doowop fan.

Classic early rock and roll, Long Tall Sally and Tutti Frutti.

Good for what it is and what it did for modern music. Didn't really feel like listening to yelling yesterday, but some of those runs were really complex!

My grandpa is a total fan of such music. The album is one of the best in this genre. Anyway, it was fun just for like 2-3 songs. So, 5 from my grandpa and 3 from me.

Fantastic voice. Pretty fun Every song uses the same 3-chord progression, it seems. So musically and compositionally I didn't find it interesting at all.

Tremendously historically important artist but sadly a little dated for my tastes

Le canzoni, a partire da 'Tutti Frutti', sono belle, ma datate. Sì, è un po' vecchiotto, ma godibile

This is the debut album from Little Richard and it's his highest charting album. Released in the late 50's, this album's music was a twist on rhythm and blues that would become early rock and roll, and it was very popular. Little Richard's iconic screaming vocals backed by the raucous music is something marvelous to listen to. It's no wonder this new musical genre caught on and eventually blossomed into rock'n'roll, with an opening album like this. Most people have heard Little Richard's singing, but it's nice to listen to an entire album of his songs.

Some undeniable bangers but not enough variety across the album

Some fun music that absolutely played a major role in the evolution of rock music.

Plenty of fun, youthful, Rock and Rollin bops here, bur not much beyond that for me. Favorites: "Tutti Frutti", "Can't Believe You Wanna Leave", "Long Tall Sally"

ok

This is fine and fun to listen to and yes of course one realizes just how seminal and influential this must have been (without LR, no … DNA, stem cells, etc, etc.) and it’s fun to imagine a previous generation hearing “A-wop-bop-a-loo-bop” for the first time. But it seems pretty basic to hear now and hard to get too excited about (one is so terribly jaded, one supposes). One also notes how the sax was once positioned to become the star of the show in rock and roll (instead of the guitar and behind the outlandish frontman of course).

Engergic, albeit maybe a bit repetitive. Still pretty decent.

You know what it is... and it sounds like the seminal rock that we expect... Tutti Fruti and Long Tall Sally are here. The other tracks keep the same energy and are pretty consistent. I'll give it props for what it represents, but I don't expect to come back to it.

Not bad some good tracks, good foundations for rock n roll. Basic everything good not greT.

Give it a 3 WOOOOOOO Give it a 3 WOOOOOO!!

very fun

A staple to rock and roll, just not my type of music. My grandma would love it tho.

Well mostly recognisable songs, sounding a bit samey, but in 1957 that would have been so cool and different. My parents were in their early twenties then and would have been used to going to dances with big band music. This would have been a totally new sound and paved the way for what was to come as well as helping a new generation break free from the status quo. 3*

Very enjoyable.

Good but a whole album was a bit much for this guy

Good if you like little Richard. Bit samey but fine

Pretty fun!

oui pionnier du rock n roll ca va

Was decent, couple of classics. Not much variety

Fun and trailblazing but songs are a bit on the same-y side to make for repeated listens.

I liked it!

How to Make a Dozen Songs Using the Same Three Tunes. by the great powerhouse of a rock-'n'-roll singer, Little Richard. (Includes "Tutti Frutti"!)

The template for this album will unfold is established early on, but that doesn't prevent this from being half an hour of fun. Plus, Little Richard was a charismatic, expressive singer who could carry even the more pedestrian material through character alone. 'Tutti Frutti' is a classic that deserves its place in the annals of rock 'n' roll, a wild, swinging number - but 'Jenny Jenny' and 'She's Got It' come close to capturing the kind of abandon that made LR such a draw. A honking sax and some proper piano pumping - good fun, even if there's not much to sit with once the music stops.

first listen one of the most influential artists of the 50s

Some good old fashioned rock 'n' roll, the way it was meant to be heard. Raw, charged and full of energy, this was Little Richard at his best!

Great voice, great song. But really only one great song, played with a little variation 10 times.

Aika svengaavaa kyllä vaikka biisit onkin hyvin samanlaisia keskenään. Mut hauskaa kuunneltavaa kyllä kun haluu larpata fiftareita.

Lots of energy and power on every song. He's a one trick pony, but the one trick is pretty amazing. It's pretty hard to rate this now but I'd imagine this blew people's minds back in 1957. Looking back though there's only a couple of songs on this album that are worth listening to again.

Obviously a classic, overflowing with energy, but 65 years later we have to admit it sounds rather basic.

Best Song: Long Tall Sally. Each two line verse feels like Little Richard is ripping it directly out of his soul. You can feel the recording technology (and his voice) struggle against everything he throws at it. Worst Song: Miss Ann. The vocal performance is good here, but I prefer the tracks with a faster, more urgent tempo. Overall: Little Richard comes off as absolutely electric here. The whole album has this manic feel, like it might fall apart at any second.

Little Richard is one of those artists I wish I could have come to know in context of the music sceen when he was first making music and coming in to his prime. I remember Little Richard from the 80s. This album does a better job at displaying Richard's talents, than how I was first introduced to his performances and music. I knew "Tuttie Frutti" (and possibly "Long Tall Sally") before listening to this album, but the remaining tracks were new. My favorite track was "Rip It Up" -- I liked the energy of that song. "True, Fine Mama" and "Can't Believe You Wanna Leave" were next in line. I liked hearing the blues influences coming through on "Can't Believe You Wanna Leave". The album was good. There were a few tracks that felt a little repetitive in their rhythms and construction, which makes it difficult to say a strong "yes, I would listen to the WHOLE album again".

Repetitive, like a lot of early rock and roll, but enjoyable and energetic. Favorite songs are Tutti Fruity and Ready Teddy. 3.5

It all felt kind of one note after the whole album was over but it was a good note.

Good album

All these jams sound the same. he is a pioneer of rock n roll. that is really cool

The best of this album IMO: - Tutti Frutti - Baby The energy! The passion! The power in his voice! Rock'n'roll! 3.2/5

Great voice, great attitude. Pretty much kick started rock and roll into life

Quintessential early rock and roll. Lyrics that are either nonsense or about simple romance (and repetitive either way) are saved by high energy music and vocals.

I just can't imagine a time when this was deemed cutting edge. enjoyed it though as a museum piece

Timeless fast tempo, screaming rock'n'roll. Never gets old. 3.5/5

Honestly, I was kind of disappointed by this album. It obviously is very influential and is regarded as an all time classic album, but I wasn't really impressed. A lot of songs are very repetitive, and seeing as they are all blues there isn't much variability in sounds between tracks. With that said, you can tell that Little Richard is a great performer and he injects a lot of life into the tracks. Favorite Track: True, Fine Mama

Легендарно

Reminds me of my Sunday’s when I lived with my dad

Little richard...... so little stars

Away in a manger in Bethlehem a star is born. Tiny Rick, aka Little Richard. The very first howling, flamboyant, "dangerous" rock star is born. 60 years later the formula is basically the same - be flashy, push conservative boundaries, give the people a reason to shake their arms and legs around and feel free for a few minutes. I thought it was gonna be a 50s snooze, but this album brought the heat. This wasn't the Little Richard I remember from 90s TV, although that guy was cool too. A wop bop a loo bop a lop ba B+

While the tracks get somewhat repetitive after a while, Richard's voice and energy make the whole LP an absolute blast to listen to.

pleasant old school raucous party music. Tutti Frutti is a classic, and there are various other songs here that are less good but still kinda neat.

I only knew Long Tall Sally and the rest was pretty cool as well, maybe not as good as that song but still a few foot-tappers. Just good ol' rock n roll. 3/5.

Good singles… but a full long player of essentially the same song was a bit much!

Another fine album. Not my favorite type of music, but I bet ashley would like it a lot. Fun music

3.5 | No hay mucho que pueda decir, un exponente clave del género, canciones clásicas y emblemáticas, esa época en que se brillaba por ser interprete sin necesidad de escribir las canciones. El estilo y el ritmo fluyen a todo dentro del disco, pero termina siendo no del todo mi estilo. Al final si me pega un poco el "todo suena demasiado igual" y aunque no puedo negar la importancia o calidad del disco no es algo que como obra completa vaya a buscar del todo. Esencial escuchar al menos una vez; sí, pero en mi parte no lo seguiré buscando en esa cantidad.

Interesting to listen to this influential artist but personally I'm not really touched by it nor am I anything but indifferent to it

i liked it, but would have to be in a specific mood to listen again

hell of a voice, and a ton of energy. must've been a hell of a thing to witness back in his time. hard to get past the caricature we i have of him in my mind.

OG rock legend. Simple and good

Tutti Fruity is a classic, Rip it up is a new ear wig. But overall relatively samey. I can understand it's influence but still not the most interesting album.

Okee

I do appreciate Little Richard, but every song sounds exactly the same. That said, I really like "Rip It Up".

I enjoyed this but again, I didn't really care. Like I wouldn't listen to this music all the time but appreciated it enough

good but i dont think ill see myself returning to this album very often little dated rating: 7/10 fav tracks: tbd Least fav tracks: tbd

I think I’m just getting irritated with this website

Not too bad. The songs sounded fairly same-y but for the time it's good

All sounds the same but very energetic and easy to listen to. What a distinctive voice

some classics that everyone and their granny will know on this album. otherwise pretty samey.

3.5

2 1/2

Mola pero se me hace un poquillo repetitivo la verdad

Feels like any track on this could be on the great gatsby film score

Inoffensive but not interesting, background music

Ayyyy, pa ovo je okej!

If I could take one twelve bar album with a cool little guy wailing and some stronk saxophone workout to a desert island, it would be this.

Sure, every song sounds like either a faster or slower version of the last, but OH! Little Richard rocks harder than Black Sabbath.

A nice bit of good ol Rock n Roll. I will admit that only a few songs on here do shine

He’s having him some fun tonight. And damn that’s a lot of Little Richard songs.

Some hits on this.

Tutti Frutti is a classic tune! Classic blues rock soul kinda stuff. Real entertaining, easy 3, mayb not quite a 4.

Individually each track is great & it’s so easy to listen to. As an album, it repeats itself too often. 3/5.

It's good fun but after 10-15 minutes that's enough

Rock and roll. That's it. Best Tracks: Tutti Frutti, Long Tall Sally, Rip it Up

My wife refers to my penis as Little Richard which she finds incredibly amusing.

Niet slecht, en wat een energie. Moet destijds wel revolutionair geweest zijn.

Good fun, classic rock n roll.

A blast. Bit samey after a bit but imagine the carnage in 57.

Got a bit samey, but some classic tunes

Always original but I'm not from the time where my ears recognise the impact.

6

אסקימו לימון

Very catchy and feel good, a bit repetitive but such a talented vocalist.

Aaaaaaaa sim, o famosso Tutti Frutti! Não é muito meu estilo esses rockzin não, mas é gostoso e dançante

Some bluesy vibes. Not bad but not super special

Some good, some uninteresting. Low 3

I am pretty sure that I've heard a couple of these songs over one thousand times.

*piano riff* “WOOOOO”

Some good tunes but not really my thing.

WOOOOOO

Solid early rock 'n' roll. 6/10

Couple fun songs? Idk

Classic, but doesn’t hold up today. The repetition really drones on.

best OOOer out there

Album number 1: Besides the classics I forgot about "Can't Believe You Want to Leave". Hearing "Long Tall Sally" brought me back to the movie Backbeat. I wasn't feeling 50's music tonight but I'll objectively give it a go. January 12, 2021

Solid

Well known songs. Good to hear. But his shout/singing style is a bit much after a few songs to me.

5

Klassiker. En jävel till sångare och för 50-talet, vilt och galet. Kommer troligen inte lyssna på den igen. Bäst: Long Tall Sally

Rock clássico. É meio casantivo

Was very short, but packed with soul and helped me start my morning right (:

Klassiske låter, men stilen og tiåret er not my cup o' tea, blir fort lei.

Catchy

Before they invented music😭

again, this album is very "safe". i have a deep respect for the bluee, but i would not choose to listen to it on my own time. little richard is a talented vocalist and i respect him, though.

Little Richard just doesn't do anything for me. His music is fun and if I was seeing him live in 1957, it would be an absolute riot. But listening to this in my basement in 2026 just isn't the right time and place. This objectively deserves more than two stars, but I just so thoroughly didn't care for this that that's all I can muster.

okay but not in the mood right now

407/1089 it was an easy listen and these songs would be nice for me in the context of movies/tv but it’s just not really something that i would revisit for my own enjoyment especially as a full album 37/100

not my vibe tbh

Omtrent som forventa

I hate this. Every song has the same melody, the shrieks are awkward and I genuinely can’t tell the difference between several of these songs. This album gets high praise for little Richard’s being a rock pioneer, and that’s cool, but it doesn’t make the music sound good.

I thought I just hated Elvis, but now I guess I just don't like 50s rock n roll. 1.5/5.0: Bad

Inte riktigt min musiksmak... Det var lite för mycket 50-tal liksom, men asså det var inte dåligt direkt, det var bara inte min smak. Jag har inte jättemycket att säga om låtarna men de liknar varandra ganska mycket också vilket kanske gör det lite tråkigt att lyssna på. Av mig får den en 2/5

I understand why an album like this gets included. But did very little for me. 2/5

Liian vanhaa. Musiikin pitää oikeasti olla huonoa että ansaitsee 1/5 joten annetaan 2/5. Yks biisi pääsi omalle listalle ja kappas kummaa oli artistin kuunnelluin kappale. Joku maaginen käänne tapahtui 60-70 luvun taitteessa. Artisteilla avautui kolmas silmä LSD myötä ja sit alettiin rokkaamaan ja syömään lepakoita (rip ozzy, siitäki jo vuosi). Kaikkien aikojen biisit on tehty niin pilvessä että edes nasa ei ole vielä saavuttanut näitä herroja. Liian vanhaa mutta tästä alkoi paranemaan

Five Stars for Tutti Frutti as a song. But as an album, it’s the law of diminishing returns. All subsequent tracks are essentially variations of the same lead song. A cracking opener then. But thereafter… repeat and repeat again.

Helt sjukt att man lyckades göra världens mest inflytelserika genre baserad på en och samma låt. Nämen allt låter ju verkligen likadant. Det här känns helt enkelt före min tid. 4/10

Dated

RnB is just not my genre. The vocals are beautiful but can't make the album enjoyable for me.

Some legendary stuff in this! However a bit repetitive.

I'm pretty sure I heard some of these in Fallout games before. Not quite my style but I can see how this would have been a big deal.

Рок-н-ролл. Тутти-фрутти и это всё

Review: This album was not that great. It wasn’t bad but it definitely was not good. There were some good songs like Rip It Up and Can’t Believe You Want To Leave but there were also some pretty rough listens. The main downfall was that it sounded like every song sampled every song. There was just no originality between the tracks and it felt like he was just copy and pasting the same template and then changing a few things here and there. The vocals were very good though and you can tell he has a passion for his craft for sure.

It was ok, I can appreciate the impact on people like Prince (a certain texture in their voices) but the songs all kind of sound the same after awhile. I did like “Oh why”

This sounds like the music that would play at American bars back in the days not my fav Day 4 !

A product of its time, I guess. Sorta fun, but also sorta grating on the ears

Not my type. Too much chuck berry ypu can never tell.

An early example of Russian interference as Little Richard apparently mistook Sputnik burning through the sky as a sign from god and turned his back on rock and roll for the next 5 years...

HooOOooO?

Original rock and roll music. Having already listened to "Tutti Frutti" before, I did not have high expectations for this album, but honestly this isn't that bad. It turns out this is one of those albums where the most popular track ("Tutti Frutti") is one of the worst.

Not too impressed

Enjoyable but repetitive

stop little richard

Gives Elvis Vibes but not as good

65

it was fine

Old skool rock n roll

Not my cup of tea

Tracks are all very samey, reminded me of the music the band played in back to the future 1. Lol had a similar sound Not for me

thought Louis Prima was good, then quite liked Elvis Presley, now you're just taking the piss

I don't enjoy listening to "Rock and Roll", always makes me feel strangely unnerved. That said, I appreciate that Little Richard was a great performer and I can see why kids in the fifties would dig it. Not for me.

straight ass 2 stars

Interessant om echt vroege rock n roll te luisteren, maar niet echt mijn smaak

Yeah, this is great! Obviously older but this is the sort of thing I wanted from this project. I spent a lot of the time reading about him on Wikipedia. Weird guy!

I believe that it used to be really cool at that time, but considering my current vision of music this is only 2

probably a hit when it came out in like the 1950's, current era: kinda repetitive and annoying

Childish, predictable, proto-rock bullshit. One point for basically inventing the genre.

not the mood

albums this old are so difficult because i know this was probably incredible when it came out but im suffering from recency bias ready teddy is so good instrumentally but i dont feel like the lyrics are that good. vocally? his voice is great on all these songs but the lyrics are best when i ignore them and listen to his voice as another instrument the songs in the backhalf are so samey.. it feels wrong but i think this is a 2/5

Not a lot I would come back to on this one. Long tall sally is always a great listen though. I think little Richard should stop being little and become big like the rest of us.

Not really for me. RYM: N Saved a song: N

Thank god the tracks weren't that long because this was a bore to listen to. Can't recall any memorable moments barr the track "Oh Why?" which had some neat lyrics and a different structure. Only track that made my ears perk up for a brief moment. Everything else wasn't to my liking. Don't get me wrong, this is a skilled band but it just isn't for me. Like someone else said: "you had to be there." 2/5

Fun! An important part of music history, but it got a little repetitive.

I bet if I were 12-20 when this came out it would have blown my mind. Also definitely music to be dancing to. Otherwise we be I-IV-I maxxing.

Probably out of this world at the time.

Not great Richard

I don't think this is ever gonna be my style of music but I can respect this more some other albums in this style because at least Richard has a unique voice that brings a lot of energy to all these tracks. This still has all the problems that i have other early rock n roll albums have with a lot of the songs here sounding very similar or the exact same in some cases and I'll literally never return to this but I can appreciate the vocal talent on display here and see why this is as influential of an album as it is.

It's historic and influential but I think don't need to hear it again.

too Much for one sitting. Probably good in small doses

This was alright, some bops, a lot of microphone clipping

A lot of the songs sounded the same but it was kinda fun.

I was expecting this one to be more fun, but it just passed right by me. No shade to ol' Richard because he has undeniable 1957 swag -- though Louis Prima remains king in the 50s Sauce department.

Solid for the time and absolutely the backbone of basically all rock music we enjoy today. However, it is genuinely all the same and it wears me down so fast. Great for dancing, just maybe not for me at home.

Some great tunes and obviously seminal, but as an album it's bland.

I can recognise the importance and significance of this album without particularly loving it. It's not really for me, but it helped influence a lot of music that was for me. Listening to it was enjoyable and I'm glad that I have.

It sounds good but isn't something I would listen to

Hugely significant album in terms of the development of rock and roll, but it’s not my vibe. Thank you for your service, Little Richard.

Too old school for my taste but I didn’t hate it.

Obviously massively influential album with how many songs sound like this but realistically it's the same song over and over again. Upbeat can be fun but a whole album of it is a struggle for me. Respectful 2

Cool.

I know it’s important, but I could never hear any of this again and be satisfied (2.5)

What do you want from me?

That's not usually the type of music I'll listen but Little Richard's contribution to music nowadays it's pretty clear. Great album

Just sort of boring. Incredible voice, absolutely incredible, but the song writing, while maybe standard for the time or even progressive, is so weak and obviously not his

Some good old rock n roll. Tracks like Tutti Frutti and Long Tall Sally are quite rightly classics and the piano driven, upbeat style is the blueprint for all here. Unfortunately that strength is also the album’s weakness, as it doesn’t stray at any point away from that and therefore all feels a bit too samey. Overall lots to enjoy, but not really a classic.

This sounded exactly like I imagined a Little Richard album would sound, but when you open with “Tutti Frutti”, the rest of it just falls into mediocrity.

Listening to this, I see the cultural influence and impact on American music. I just don't like it beyond its space-time context

2/5 While no doubt a historical and well-made fot its time, today a lot of the tracks feel a bit same-ey.

Was all right, but not quite my type of music. Listened a couple times, didn’t want to sing along though.

Sounds like every other 50s song

Omtrent som forventa

not bad but i just wasn’t really feeling it

I like the bluesy/jazz feel, but feel like I would appreciate Little Richard’s later work which has a more sultry feel over this album.

Probs crazy at the time

very much had to be there

I appreciate Little Richard's place and importance in music history. And if that's how I was rating these albums I'd give this a 5. But I'm rating on how well I personally like the album and music. And this is just not my style.

Literally groundbreaking, Rock & Roll stands on the shoulders of giants like Little Richard. I listened to a lot of music like this when I was younger, before I developed my own taste. These days, it’s tough to listen to this and not yearn for something a little more interesting. I feel like I could have just listened to Tutti Frutti 12 times and come away with a very similar experience. Listening to a record also means you miss the physicality of Little Richard’s performance. At this point, it’s really only interesting as a marker to show how far music has come.

My mom was born the year this album came out. It's crazy how society has evolved from there. Um, I didn't like this though. His voice attacks me. Top: Tutti Frutti Not Top: Jenny, Jenny

Chile whatever… love kennedy davenport ❤️

this wasn’t really my vibe, or maybe it wasn’t my vibe for 03:26 in the morning. man has a great voice tho.

I recognize its importance and its cultural impact on music worldwide. Still, I find it annoying.

it felt like one giant song

1) wail into mic for two minutes 2) sax solo 3) wail for two more minutes 4) rinse and repeat for 30 minutes If I didn't like the blues this would be a 1

It's aight 4/10

He’s great, just not my vibe

It's fun, but not one I'd feel compelled to revisit often. Its influence is undeniable. This doesn't change the fact you're basically listening to the same song 12 times.

Really not pleasant voice

It is very of the time and kinda same-same

Ass

I'm afraid I'll just never get into Rock n Roll, sorry Richard! I know, all the music I like would exist without this etc and so on, but I still cannot enjoy it, and my enjoyment is the only honest rating I can give

It's a good album overall, I just personally found myself bored after the first 3 songs and it's already not the music I naturally gravitate towards, It is fun though, and felt like a great representation of the Rock N' Roll of its time.

Es un album de epocas antiguas que no me sugiere nada. No es mi estilo de musica que pondria en cualquier lugar

😐

I understand his significance, but screaming the same thing 300 times is not good for my brain

Another oldie, hard to give it a proper rating. Not something I’d throw on and a lot of it sounded the same.

Oops, all 12 bar blues 2

I accept that he has influenced pretty much all the artists I love from the Beatles to Punk, for that I give it 2 stars. I can only imagine though that there was bugger all else to listen to back in the day because to me it's just bloody awful bollocks.

He was a groundbreaker, but the musical style just isn't my bag for the most part.

ok Little Richard, we got the idea about 3 songs in

It’s just not for me…I’m so sorry guys!!!
