Nilsson Schmilsson

Nilsson Schmilsson, Meh Schmeh. Nice voice, clean arrangements, has a certain appeal but could've done a whole lot more with what he has than this. Coconut is quirky but doesn't fit the rest of the album. Somewhere between a high 2 and a low 3, he seems to be more famous for his friendships with The Beatles than his work in its own right.

I've owned this record for decades. I pull it out every 2-3 years thinking maybe I'll finaly realize why people seem to like it. Still just sounds like a soulless pop cover band. On the plus side, it is really well recorded.

A little classic old school folk, mixed with a little european.

Really good covers of songs. I have never heard of him, apparently he got drunk a lot with John Lennon back in the day. Anyway, not bad but not sure that I need to listen to it again. If you want to chill out and listen to covers then this would be a great album.

"Without You" is well-known. "Coconut," apparently, is as well. I don't know why.

Eh.

It’s alright, just sounds very showtuney and musical like sometimes. A few cool songs

Without You is a decent song and Coconut while not bad is not exactly a masterpiece. The rest is mediocre at best with the longer tracks being far too long and irritating. 2 stars because of Without You.

Rating after the weekend is more difficult; I don't quite remember if I wanted this to be 2 or 3 stars. Wasn't the best but wasn't that bad

well, that was a fairly bad time, at least if you're me. coconut has, of course, been a favorite since reservoir dogs resurrected it, and jump into the fire was surprisingly fun. uhhh, also, i was a little surprised to hear the line in gotta get up about how the sailor would come to town, pound her for a couple days and then split. i'm not offended or anything, just surprised that got past whatever decency checks would've still been in place in 1971. anyway, apart from all that, i just can't stand this kinda sickly-sweet stuff. really not for me, sorry harry

Three songs in, this is definitely not my jam. This is the music that you get embarrassed about when your parents sing along to it when your friends are over, especially when they attempt the high notes. Listening to this, it's obvious that The Beatles were an outsized influence and, in the same way that Bush was accused of trying to be Nirvana in the 90s, I imagine Harry was accused of trying to be The Beatles in the early 70s. Okay, so Without You is a good song that I wouldn't mind hearing again. Coconut is silly. Obviously, a recognizable tune but I can't imagine being anything but annoyed by it. It's the kind of novelty song that's inescapable for a summer or so and people sing parts of it in casual conversation like some kind of punchline in and of itself and you kind of smile and hope they stop but don't want them to think that you think that they're being cringey. I would not doubt you at all if you told me it was The Macarena of its time. I skipped it twenty seconds in. Sorry, Harry. So the back half of the album does away with a lot of the sillier bits and is more listenable, if not necessarily memorable. I wouldn't mind having everything that comes after Coconut just playing in the background as something inoffensive and somewhat pleasant to drown out silence while working or eating or something. All that being said: I can see the appeal. I imagine I'd have been more interested in this kind of thing if I'd been around in '71, especially if I'd been in my later 20s or older at the time. These are well written pop songs, they're just very of their time, like a house with wood panel walls and a very Orange/Yellow/Brown color scheme and a shag carpet. It's the best a house could possibly look with that aesthetic, constructed and decorated by the best contractors in town. In many ways it adds polish and flourish to a well worn but still popular style. But it's still a house with wood paneled walls and an Orange/Yellow/Brown color scheme and a shag carpet. Hopefully they're at least holding some wicked key parties in there.

OK, 1-2 good songs but overall it is quite boring. Dated sound..

Ок, но. Лучшая песня - Gotta Get Up.

Boring.

(Not) Elvis

After a couple of really good albums, it was time for Harry Nilsson to cash out. That's what you're listening to here.

Bad

This type of Randy Newman cheese pop is just not my thing. I guess it's well written and performed, but I felt nothing while listening to it (other than mild annoyance).

I mean, the cover says it all. The familiar songs are still the familiar songs and the rest is the rest.. Ennui...

No thank you?

meh

It didn't quite match my personal taste, but besides that I don't have much to comment on.

It's inoffensive and decent, good performances all around really. But barely any of it hooked me at all. I can't hate it or even dislike it but I'm just very unaffected by it. Fav songs: - Without You

Boring background music.

I get why he's referred as the US version of Lennon/McCartney. However lyrics are often uninteresting. Without you is really nice

Just so so. Would not listen again by choice.

1. get up - 1 2. driving along - 0 3. morning - 1 4. moonbeam - 1 5. douun - 1 6. uuithout you - 2 7. cocunut - 1 8. good timez - 1.5 9. fire - 1.5 10. leave you - 0 11. eztaz tu - 1.5 12. zure of you - 0 13. moonbeam - 1.5 14. maze - 0 15. zoldier - 0

Nilsson schilsson more like Nilsson make better music, son.

Not a fan but not total crap

No, not for me. Didn't know his name, but I do know 'Without You' - great tune, the only good one on the album though.

Hmm. Ok

OK.

Nothing unique or grabby

Didn’t know what to expect here, so went in with a clear mind. Started off thinking it sounded like the kind of thing my Dad would probably listen to (maybe he does) but after a couple of songs I just knew it wasn’t my vibe, though he’s got a nice voice. Without You is a classic and it was nice realising that Coconut was the “put the lime in the coconut” song but I can’t say I’ll probably ever put this on again.

Opens up straight away into something that sounds like it should be in a musical... not a good sign for me. The simple vocal over a reverb-drenched organ definitely creates a cool vibe on Early In The Morning though. Down starts cooking, but still just feels like something is being held back. Oh right... Without You... Followed up directly with Coconut. I feel like this album has officially been weaponized against me now. Hey Harry, did ANYONE ask for a honky tonk version of Let The Good Times Roll? I'm guessing 'No'. Jump In The Fire makes a very solid attempt to redeem this whole affair, complete with a bitchin' drum solo. Definitely the standout banger on here. Probably should have closed out the album with it, instead of the banjo-tinged funeral dirge that was given that honor.

Several hits but not my interesting generally

Thoroughly forgettable, I have 0 intention of ever listening to Nilsson again.

How do you go from "Without You" to "Coconut," this is bonkers. I did like "Jump Into the Fire" and the album art. There's maybe three good songs and then a bunch of snoozes. A lot of it reminds me of kid songs, it's also too schmaltzy. Not a fan of this Harry.

A catalogue of what was wrong with the excesses of the late 1970s.

This album was super annoying

This album held me hostage.

Eww. It's like Paul McCartney but I mean that in the worst way possible. Very corny. 1.54 per track.

Fun, but a little mellow for a jog! Let the good times roll, Coconut, Without You

not my cup of tea, but an interesting album. I liked a couple of songs from the album

mariah carey did Without You better also in 6th grade science one of my friends (gay icon sam thorn) kept singing the coconut song and so another friend finally snapped and said "i'm gonna put your head in a coconut and shake it all up"

Really?

Good opening track didn’t really care for the rest

2.5 I feel like I was just tricked into listening to a Beatles album. Being that this came out a year after their breakup, this guy was clearly taking a page out of their book either for his own personal success or to try and keep Beatlemania alive. And sure enough, after looking him up, the dude was apparently friends with The Fab Four and sometimes even referred to as “The American Beatle”. Well, I definitely hear why that is, but I don’t think he’s really doing anything noteworthy or transformative with their sound. For the most part, it’s innocuous enough to never piss me off, though it definitely feels like he was trying to at times with stuff like Early in the Morning and Coconut. I had no idea the latter was originally by this dude, and while I can admit there’s a certain catch to the song, its charm runs really thin really quickly. Goddamn, sitting here hours later, the song is still stuck in my head, driving me crazy. Is this the reason this album made the list? Not much else of real note. With the exception of Jump Into The Fire, I appreciate him keeping these songs short, though ironically, that ended up being my favorite song on the album and one that I think would have benefited most from having a runtime in the same general ballpark as everything else. Oh well - not a bad album, but pretty gimmicky, and mostly meh. Curious if Beatles fans are a bigger fan of this one.

I guess I prefer my 70's singer-songwriter to be a little more earnest

I thought this was fine

naja..

Hmmm. Some good, some not so good

Amazing, after sooo many years I have learnt the origin of the song KEN LEE. To be perfectly honest, I never looked for it, but to stumble upon it is a pretty good feeling. And suprising thing is - the song is pretty okay, but so different than the rest of the album, which is, simply put, terrible. It felt like I was listening to a parody record and I just weren't in on the joke. But no, it's a serious stuff, just very boring and dated.

I like ballads but this is a bit sappy, eg, The Moonbeam Song. Coconut is just silly. Some of the more rock oriented songs are better like Jump in the Fire, but not enough to save it. Closes with another really slow ballad. Zzz.

Music for dads who don't listen to music. This is what I expect Billy Joel sounds like to people who hate Billy Joel.

скушнявкинс, но коконат забавный

2/5 it was okay. I don’t like the coconut song. Nothing super special to me about this one, it was kinda silly. 2/5

This was okay. Nothing too exciting for me. Recognized a couple songs that didn’t realize were his.

Songs were mid to bad.

Nah

Ggg

so la la

Stopped halfway through. Boring but I liked the third song

Now I know who wrote the Coconut song!

Props for being very talented and interesting. There are some grooves (Let the Good Times Roll) but I can’t say it’s for me. Out of the couple songs I recognized, Mariah’s version of Without You was better (as is Si No Estas Tu), Coconut is better as a Coke commercial since it only lasts 30 seconds and I prefer how The Cars let the good times roll. Also, agree on the 10 pt or half stars. This is prob a 1.5 for me but will save my 1’s for absolute hate. So…is every album from the early 70s?

Not my thing.

LIME IN THE COCONUT JUMPSCARE

Oh, it's THIS guy. I mean sure, it's pretty fun. Without You is iconic and deserves the praise. Jump Into The Fire was a standout track, funky groove and great instrumentals. Subjectively not that enjoyable for me, I don't know what it is too specifically, but something about the mixing leaves much to be desired.

Apart from "Jump Into the Fire", I didn't care for any of these songs.

Bis auf „Without you“ langweilig

I can’t liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiisten to this more than twice. Pretty shit big single aside. Just very run of the mill except the questionable “you put de lime in de coconut” which… I don’t even know.

Known before: Artist/Some songs Standouts: Coconut 5/10

A couple of songs are ok-ish, a few are forgettable, that coconut song is terrible.

Haha

I liked Jump into the fire, that's about it. Will I listen to again: 0%

Not quite my thing. Decent easy listening. Small bump for lime in coconut 2.1/5 remastered version 55m

I really can't stand "Without You". It's so schmaltzy and overblown. And Coconut seems a bit racist these days with the fake Jamaican accents. Overall I'd say that something about this album rubbed me the wrong way.

You put da line in da coconut!

Didn't care for it. Sounded like background music made for commercials to me.

not horrible, just not my cup of coffee.

When I first saw the Nilsson Schmilsson I thought it would be completely new to me - but turns out I have heard some of the songs and covers of the song over the years! Sounds like an off-brand Beatles. Not unlistenable but I won’t be listening again! Weirdest track: Coconut

a bit steely dan on first impression? a bit beatles-y, a bit bob dylan (or actually i think i'm just saying that because there was a harmonica on let the good times roll). it's defo steely dan-y though. very 70s. Without You has been memed to death but its hook is so good! i also liked the brass on Down. Jump Into The Fire also good, the textural buildup in the second half made it. otherwise this was a bit meh sometimes (Coconut is strange as fuck it made me very uncomfortable i do not know why). not a particularly memorable album however i really do love the title

A solid enough album knocked down to 2 stars for showing me the origin of the "put the lime In the coconut" line is a fuckin TERRIBLE novelty song

5/5 album cover.

Some good songs, some weird ones (looking at you, Coconut).

Interesting album, not really my cup of tea. Coconut still goes hard.

whatever, man. forgettable

Moyen j'aime pas trop en faite

Lots of different sounds in this album. The origin of "put the lime in the coconut?" Let the good time's roll origin? Favorite song "Jump into the Fire" Worst song "I'll never leave you"

felt scattered no theme, a couple decent ones.

Jump Into the Fire might be fun on a roadtrip, but there wasn’t much for me here in this album. The only song I recognized was Coconut and I found the full-length version very annoying/irritating rather than fun. Forget the bellyache, it makes me feel delirious and weak with fever. Gotta Get Up is not available for me to listen to on Spotify as of Oct. 2023, but I have a feeling I’m not personally missing anything.

C Gotta Get Up 4 Driving Along 2 Early In the Morning 2 The Moonbeam Song 2 Down 4 Without You 3 Coconut 1 Let the Good Times Roll 2 Jump Into the Fire 1 I'll Never Leave You 4 I'm a Harry Nilsson fan, but he's definitely not the most consistent musician. My favorite of his albums is The Point! which is this awesome concept album about this rounded kid Oblio in a pointed world and how he and his dog Arrow get banned from society for being unlike everyone else.

nilsson schmilsson

Kan ikke lide det Without you eller hvad den hed var okay

Well, that wasn’t great.

This was very difficult for me to get through. I did not like the high pitch sounds of the instruments or his voice

Listened to the Grammy winner - Without You. Yuck. Not to my taste.

I wasn't sure if I have ever heard anything from Harry Nilsson, but I had in the back of my mind that he is a songwriter. Hitting the sixth track ("Without You") I knew I was right about the songwriter, even though everything else on Nilsson Schmilsson to that point was new to me. There is some energy on several tracks that I appreciated ("Gotta Get Up", "Let the Good Times Roll", "Driving Along", "Jump into the Fire"). About half of the tracks had a harder time reaching me. These track sounded more like "adult contemporary" which feels like it's written to not ruffle feathers. "Without You" fits solidly in this group. The album for me mostly sits within the "okay" range, but if I have to take the album as a whole, "Without You" and "Coconut" are the album's defining downfall. I have heard "Without You" as performed by Air Supply too many times and did not find a remarkably positive appreciation for the track as performed by Nilsson. "Coconut" on the otherhand feels like it's almost a mockery of the track itself, even though I can't imagine a way in which to perform the track in a straightforward manner. "Coconut" is too silly and feels out of place with the rest of the album. As the second track on side two, "Coconut"'s presence is jarring. Add on the baggage of how pop culture has utilized and referenced this track and the combined weight is too heavy to round up to a 3 star review.

Can definitely see how he influenced the Beatles, too bad I’m not a fan of the Beatles

Not my thing. I’ve never seen the big deal about Harry Nillson. The coconut song has to be one of the most annoying ever though.

"Nilsson Schmilsson" by Harry Nilsson, released in 1971, presents a mixed bag of pop and rock experiments. While it contains the widely celebrated track "Without You," much of the album feels disjointed and boring. Nilsson's vocal prowess is undeniable, but the eclectic mix of styles, from rock to novelty songs, lacks cohesion. "Coconut" and "Jump into the Fire" offer flashes of brilliance, but they're overshadowed by the album's overall lack of direction. "Nilsson Schmilsson" might be a cult classic for some, but it struggles to maintain a consistent quality throughout, leaving it with a feeling of unfulfilled potential.

ništa specijalno, ok je, fino je, but not memorable, tipa 4 ili 5 od 10 imam osecaj da cu zaboraviti i ime pevaca, kao da ga i sad znam ono

it was alright. not really any rememberful moments on this record

OMG Lime in the Coconut song. It has been years since I heard that song. Otherwise the album was good, in line with laidback 70s vibes

*Track 1: Gotta get up* I knew this song from the tv show Russian doll and I recognized coconut too. loved the heavy piano. the upbeat songs were more memorable and I liked them but the slower ballads weren’t as good. i didn’t give my full attention so maybe I missed out on some of the songs.

Una ensalada. Raro disco y se rescata poco.

Songs calculated to send Jacob into a rage

Other than the occasional uplifting bass sequence i did not like this one bit

An album and artist i really want to like, but just don’t. I like his voice and unpretentious persona but the songs do nothing for me.

New artist to me, but the Beatles already did the same thing but better

Ni susta nit gusta

Some recognisable snogs there.

4/10

Okay. Alternative/R&B

+ Without You Coconut

Alright, some decent bits

He is a strong composer and performer, no doubt. Some nice songs on this album.

Nilsson Schmilsson. Meh.

I am actually surprised this album has such high ratings… everyone has a different ear for music I guess

It wasn't really my thing, but there were a few songs I thought were cool.

I paid very little attention to this album as I was driving around. Honestly, I was unfair to it. I will give it two stars because nothing stood out enough to catch my attention. That's pretty mean of me! Sorry Harry Nilsson!

The sound of cheese.

Meh

Not what I was expecting, but some of it grew on me. Definitely has a Beatles feel to it, and as I read up on the artist, found out that he was very close to the Beatles! It’s a little too pop for me, but I really enjoyed the 3rd song, Early in The Morning, and added it to my favourites list! Also didn’t realize this is the guy that sings “coconut”. That was a shocker when it came out! Apparently this was a fave of my Aunt LuAnn’s. Makes it a little more interesting when you can picture someone you know Jammin to it.

I did not really like this album. None of the songs were very memorable other than the singles Without You and Coconut. It didn't seem to really hit any emotion very well and when it tried to be funny it just came off as awkward. Also the singing in Coconut feels weirdly racist.

"Jump into the fire" is pretty cool, but the rest is a bit meh

Nothing very compelling. It seemed like an average pop album. I give credit for the influence of different cultures on some songs.

Ehh turned it off

Very traditional and too-much-common pop song from the 70s/80s. Maybe he was a pioneer somehow at that time, but today is one of the blandest music I've ever listened to.

Like the The Beatles or Paul McCartney but annoying. Best song: Early in the Morning (I dig the bluesy vibe). Worst song: Coconut (just awful, play on repeat to make your neighbors question their sanity).

I respect him, but I just can’t get into the song writing. Too much like Randy Newman.

this was yucky.

I know this is an important album, and the musicianship is good. Just not my cup of tea. 2

meh.

He hung out with the Beatlies ddin't he. So no surprise the best of this sounds like early solo McCartney. The worst of it sounds like....Without You. Being less than generous because that song is unlistenable to, it's a two.

lime in the coconut is from this album lmao didnt really get into the rest of it not even sure how to classify it genre wise

I actually really like his voice, although I think it was much better used on another album – a little touch of Nilsson in the night. My folks had that album and I always liked his vulnerable timbre and that little warble. If that had been the album of choice, I would’ve been a little kinder but I just found this a bit of a bore. It would have been a 2.5, slap bang in the middle, but I’m all Nilssoned out.

(Happy Halloween) You put da lime in da coconut. Don't care. It's boring and I didn't win the Binding of Isaac run I was doing while this was playing in the background. More like Nilsson Smellshit. Ha. Great album commentary as usual. On a more serious note: I don't know about this one. Nothing caught my attention here except for the "Coconut" song, which is a delightful level of stupid that I'm a sucker for. I don't even get the Beatles comparisons.. just because it's pop from the late 60s - early 70s doesn't immediately make this guy the "American Beatles". Also as a sidenote: I wish I got something spookier for Halloween. Y'know? Give me "Tinderbox" by Siouxsie & The Banshees, any Joy Division album.. Or Crazy Frog's 2009 cult-classic "Everybody Dance Now". Now that's a terrifying one.

KEN LEEEEE. Diba diba dout uuu.

I've heard and re-enjoyed "Gotta Get Up". It's a good upbeat song that gets you ready for... not a great album.

Second half is better but don't know why I'd listen to this over dozens of other singer songwriter albums

Didn’t do much for me and Without You made me think of Peep Show, but quite enjoyed the rhythm section and riffs on Jump Into The Fire. That’s about it. Seventies indulgence.

Ken Leeeeeee! tulibu dibu douchoo.

Not bad but not for me

Strange liked the first song the rest was a bit like weird pop. Was ok but never really got there again.

several songs

Another irrelevant album (and a bit cringe with that coconut song) that is here due a single song. This time it ain’t even the original one (this is the second time I encounter such situation during this list). Well, without you is a good song then.

Rating: 2/5 Playlist track: Without You Date listened: 11/04/22 Harry Nilsson seems to have forged a career out of novelty songs and popularising covers of recent minor hits by other artists. 'Nilsson Schmilsson' indeed.

2/5 not good.

Early in the morning

Muy lento para mi gusto

Hmm, kivaa sinänsä, mutta ei lopulta oikein lähtenyt. Ehkä jotenkin kornia. Eikä juuri auttanut, että iskevimmät biisit, eli Without You ja Coconut ovat aika memeettisiä ja vähän kuluneita.

Tuntuu kamalan vanhalta olo kun noi Gotta Get Upin sanat nappaa näin. Early in the morning kans hauska neppailu. Muuten aika meh, ja Coconut on niin ärsyttävä renkutus (ihan sama onko tahallaan)‚ että sakotan yhden tähden. 2/5

Buen disco

I liked (and knew) Without you and coconut. The rest of the songs sound uninteresting and tiring. Kept zoning out and having it as background noise, even if I was actively trying to listen to it.

Coconut was lit, Gotta Get Up was very Russian Doll. 5.5/10 overall.

Beatles-vibes. für mich bissi fad. Werde es mir vermutlich nicht nochmal anhören. Wusste nicht dass Ken-Lee eine Cover-Version ist, finde die Harry Nilsson Version viel schöner als die von Mariah. Die spanische brauch ich aber nicht..

Had some redeeming qualities, but it’s really just 35 minutes of pure cheese, 4/10

Meh

Some belters.. some real cringe tracks.

October 14, 2021 It was fine but I didn't enjoy it that much with the exception of "Without You".

Harry Nilsson's 7th album and his most successful one. It's a rock album with 3 famous singles - one being a number 1 hit. The music sounded pretty mainstream, so much so that I believe I have heard this music before and don't remember it. This was an awesome album and definitely deserves to be included on the 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die list.

Hilpeähkö

Wanted to like, but no. Just wish you weren't so fuckin awkward, bud.

Sounds like George Martin is all over this or this is revolver era throw aways. Had some recognizable classics and slick ballad writing but the vocal didn’t endear me much.

Melodic and very Beatlesy at times but not an album I’d go back to. Recognised about 3 or 4 songs, had no idea they were Nilsson. He definitely wouldn’t get away with Coconut today.

New to this chap but seem to know quite a few tracks on the album. A pleasant enough hour spent.

A few good songs, otherwise, gets quite boring quickly.

Ho Hum...another uninspiring album full of folky/pop tracks. Apart from the well known commercial classics off this album there isn’t too much here I’m keen on. In saying that, the tracks released as hits are not really my cup of tea anyway. As you can probably guess...I’m not rating this one very highly. 2 Stars

Nothing incredibly exciting, almost a little boring at times. Wasn't sure what to expect but didn't really enjoy this. 1 seems too harsh so I'm giving it a 2

Saved Prior: Coconut Saved Off Rip: Gotta Get Up Cutting Edge: None Overall Notes: I always get this guy mixed up with Andy Kaufmann. No idea why, but I do. In terms of the music, eh. Love "Coconut" tho.

Not my cup of Joe.

It was fine. I liked a few songs

Definitely a solid album with button that really called to me

Best aardig, maar beetje gezapig.

Ik moet dit nog eens luisteren. Heb dingen gehoord die me erg aanstonden (Beatles-esque) maar ook slappe hap. Bij twijfel niet oversteken dus vooralsnog een 2.

Voor op de achtergrond best ok, maar wat een braafheid!

Some classic songs. I don't feel compelled to listen to it again.

You can really tell he’s going for a Beatles vibe, but he’s just not good enough of a singer and doesn’t have enough energy in the beat to make it a very good impression.

lime in di cocinuh

i thought his voice was annoying

2.5 Tiene puntos interesantes. Las primeras dos canciones son buenas, Without You es (a pesar de lo echada a perder que la tengo en la cabeza por culpa de Ken Lee) una versión mucho mejor que la original y una gran canción despechosa. Tiene una voz interesante y que puede sonar muy distinta de una canción a otra. Por otro lado el disco se siente sin pies ni cabeza, los covers unos bien pero por ejemplo Let the Good Times Roll muy por debajo de la original de los 50s. Las canciones no fluyen y no se siente cohesión, empieza con una canción que casi parece plagio de Paul McCartney, pasa por un órgano sintetizador suave y casi silbado, una canción que parece infantil y termina en una medio balada totalmente x. Leí un poco de él y creo que a final de cuentas lo respeto mucho, se ve que talento tenía pero simplemente nunca se tomó en serio su carrera y no se dio ínfulas de nada en la vida. Por ahí vi que hay un documental sobre su vida intentaré verlo, creo puede ser más interesante incluso que su música. Tarantino lo supo desde hace años... la mejor canción era la del limon en el coco.

Love how the first few songs are about the morning and so he’s wearing a bathrobe in cover shot (possibly smoking a roach clip). This music is way too corny for my taste but Harry seems like someone I want to be friends with. I think he was having some fun making this.

Radio random cantado por el mismo sujeto! Creo que las canciones son buenas y aunque pueden variar mucho en el género musical, el problema real es que no se nota un sello propio. Me parece muy interesante que un artista brinque tanto de géneros en un sólo disco, sin embargo no termina de fraguar su propio estilo. No creo que llegue al extremo de "por tratar de hacer todo terminó haciendo nada" pero sí me parece que tanta revoltura termina por opacar su talento. 2.5 estrellas que bajan a 2 por el simple hecho de que no pienso volver a escuchar el disco completo. Justo al terminar esta opinión encontré la idea que me provocó este disco: innecesario. Sabes hacer canciones de los 50s, 60s, 70s? No hay necesidad de juntarlas todas en un mismo disco. Puedes escribir una buena canción de rock como Jump into the fire? Vamos a ponerle 2 minutos de percusiones. Tu disco es muy variado? Vamos a ponerle una canción sin sentido como Coconut. Creo que esa exageración de formas y géneros e ideas termina por cansar. Tracks: Down, Let the good times roll, Jump into the fire.

I hated \\\"Coconut.\\\" Interesting bio though.

Ihan mukavaa perusrallattelupoppia 70-luvulta pienillä proge-elementeillä. Biiseistä mieleen jäi ainoastaan Mariah Careyn hitti Without You, joka ilmeisesti ei ollut alunperin myöskään Nilssonin biisi. Myös ärsyttävä limekookosrallattelu jäi mieleen kun sitä oli minulle etukäteen mainostettu. Ei häiritsevää, ei mieleenpainuvaa. Ensimmäisen kuuntelun perusteella olisin antanut kolmosen mutta toinen kuuntelu pudotti arvosanan kakkoseksi.

Singer/songwriter, fængende, lyrisk, stille pop

Had never heard of this guy, was expecting US folk rock... it kinda was in places, but also more poppy like the Beatles or Beach Boys as well. Was pretty harmless, but I will never listen to it again. Not honestly bad, but even now 2 hours later I can't remember anything beyond that. 2/5.

I had to skip Coconut. I WANTED to skip most of the album. How can such a short album feel so long?

1 трек добавил но альбом так себе

Started off strong but am finding it increasingly cheesy and overwrought. There's something about this production and instrumentation that ain't doing it for me. Coconut is painful. Why do I hate the way all these instruments sound? Appropriately named album.

Not for me

Me: Why is this on the list? *side B starts* Me: Oh... Yeah, no.

Favorite: Fucking none

just kinda bad

this is a fairly inoffensive album I'd probably give a two or three but Coconut is such a godawful song I'm docking it down to a one I dunno man this just isn't for me. a lot of what I hate about solo Beatles, some novelty songs, some crooning, gets a little Randy Newman in places, very singer-songwriter-y but with no real emotional heft or a hook to grab me actually you know what, it's not just Coconut. I don't like this. it'd still be a two probably because yeah, he sounds great and the music is technically competent, but we put the lime in the coconut and the score goes down

Boring and I found the coconut song super annoying

Really hard to imagine that this album was voted to be top 1000 list of 70s albums. This was a nerve-wracking album.

blaah

Weird mix of pop and schlager-like music, bluesy tracks and the obligatory ballads. Not at all to my taste.

Didn’t finish it, not my style I thought it was slightly boring

I don’t know much about this guy beyond his name, but other than Without You this is pretty embarrassing.

stop with the boomer shit lol

currently at song 5, legitimately feels like music for children so far big revelation at without you "oooooh, it's that song", not bad really okay, straight downhill from there, no idea what they were going for with that record song 9 has the old fashion "pseudo prog" trick of repeating the same riff over an increasingly incoherent drum beat forcing myself through the last track right now okay, a lot of people seem to love this record but it's just not for me I'm sorry 2/10

This is not for me. Some ok tracks on here but borders on novelty music

'You put the lime in the coconut' is the type of earworm that makes you wish you were dead, simply for remembering it's existence.

This was really not my thing it was a lot a sappy singing and honky tonk piana playin and he did a accent on coconut 0/5

Likes: production quality was very good Dislikes: tinker-toy instrumentation, whiny vocals, boring melodies, adlib vocals done too often and not letting the tracks breathe, painfully slow and tedious arrangements Overall, I hated this. The only reason I finished is the short length. And even then I had to force myself through it multiple times when I just wanted so badly for it to end. It’s like the musical equivalent of your grandma’s kitschy porcelain tchotchke collection - sure, it’s not inherently offensive, but why would anyone like it?

Eh

Wasn't too impressed

Uff

This is not for me and I’ll leave it at that

Alright something new that i have never heard. Pop rock, early 70s. The man(the artist) on the cover looks like another victim of drugs and hippie plague. I have listened to it twice. Nothing special and standing out. Ok for background noise no offense

Fuck off

One massive hit and a bunch of other easy listening. I guess this has been influential but I found it dull

Ooh… not really my genre i think. Yup and i was right listen 2 2 songs and i was alrd out the door

what if we ripped off the beach boys 5 years later and made it shit. lime in de coconut top 10 worst songs i've ever listened to

Lime in the coconut... yeah I'm good thanks

Not for me. 1/5

Influential my ass. Straight up boring with nothing but lame lyrics and hardly any instruments. Just quiet, slow and uninteresting.

SHIT

I don't have time for this lame music, sorry

To be honest non mi é piaciuto granché però apprezzo le vibes lovey dovey di alcune canzoni

Yeah I’m good on this one

white boy basic ballads were good without you is the best song

Sorry barely listened and didn't like what I listened 1 star

Alguna cancion esta bien, pero el disco entrro cansa

don't like

I genuinely thought I’d done this album before, but maybe that was wishful thinking. I don’t really like Nilsson and this hasn’t changed my mind. Also, very disjointed with the ballads, the novelty song and the pretending to be The Who one. Now I’ve listened to it all, the drum and bass segment of Jump Into The Fire almost deserves a star of its own.

Nope

Nothing about this album stuck out to me

Like that coconut song

meh

Rough, like crazy rough. Love Scott Ian, not a fan of Anthrax

Nothing special.

No. Not my type of music. Boring lyrics, too tame of a sound...

Not for me.

Didn’t listen to this shi

1/10. Not my style of 60’s/70’s

OMG! No good!

It started off great, then it went south fast. I was actually liking the first song a ton and felt like it had a Beatles vibe to it. But song 10 I wanted to pour bleach into my ears and cry in the corner to make it stop. Few songs were familiar to me and have heard before. Please let today be better.

I don't think I've ever heard any Harry Nilsson besides the obvious one before and I imagine if I listened to this record again in 6 months i would say the same thing

Great voice but I find this incredibly boring. Favorite Track: Coconut

Pink Floyd what have they done to you...

Not my favorite.

not a fan, but now I know who sings the Coconut song

Yuck

My aunt loved this album and I heard it about a million times. I never liked it and I saw no reason to subject myself to it again

In the immortal words of Jon Lovitz, it stinks! The best song is in Spanish, and that was more for comedic purposes. Not for me, will never listen to again.

Sorry just didnt like this one at all. WTF is the Coconut song!!

mid

no.

I liked "Let the good times roll", not any other songs. I couldn't identify with the lyrics and wasn't a fan of the music.

Did not enjoy at all. Couldn't force myself to finish the album.

Just uninteresting across the board.

Did not like.

nah

I found the lyrics trite to say the least. Awful album.

I had the misfortune of having “Without You” running through my head from age 6-10. I hated it then and I hate it now. I’m curious if it was because it’s a particularly sticky song or just because I was young and impressionable. “Coconut” was an early novelty song in the vein of Ballroom Blitz and Monster Mash, only much much worse.

This is awful, and now I also dislike the coconut song. None of this music needed to be recorded and it's a testament to the seventies that this urgently pointless music was tolerated. Be on the lookout for a really insightful song where a white dude asks why we can't just LISTEN to each other, man

I ALREADY RATED THIS YOU IDIOTS

Meh, qualche canzone che richiama lo stile dei beatles la ho apprezzata, però in generale proprio non il mio genere di musica. Devo ammettere però che probabilmente un amante dei cantautori potrebbe apprezzarlo. Lavoro confezionato tutto sommato non male, ma non fatto per me

Faccio molta fatica ad apprezzare il cantautorato estero, e soprattutto è un album dimenticabile. Non mi ricordo nessuna traccia e non ho interesse nel riascoltarlo.

I had to double check to make sure that I was listening to the right album. This is a mess. It sounds as though it is unfinished. Most of the songs remind me of nursery rhymes. Without You is a shocker.

não gostei

One of the worst albums on the list so far.

You put the peeps in the chili pot and eat them both up, you put the peeps in the chili pot and add the m&ms. You put the peeps in the chili pot and make it taste... bad.

It's like Billy Joel after a breakdown.

To me, this is a cheap imitation of Paul McCartney

mmmmm i dont know about this. oh i dont like this :( nothing wrong with it but its a no from me. cant stand "without you" good god hes whiny. sorry. lol somehow coconut is exactly what i expected from the cover art. i like jump into the fire! too bad i hated most of everything else.

Not my thing

lime in da coconut

i dont rilly lik muzik

Some nice songs but nothing special or outstanding. 6/10
