Not my cup of tea

Not on Spotify
What is bro yapping about? Half of this didn’t even feel like music, lots of talking with indiscriminate jazz in the background. The tracks without drums were very boring which felt like most of them. I wasn’t keen on the flute sprinkled throughout either. I feel like if I read about what he’s talking about I’d ‘get’ it more, but I don’t want to have to research to enjoy an album the first time. For some reason I predict dad will like this though 🔮
what happen?
Non on Spotify.
Er der overhovedet nok instrumentering på nogle af sangene til at det kan kvalificeres som musik? Gil Scott-Heron stemme kan lyde mega godt. Den gør det desværre ikke på det længste nummer. Meget politisk album. En 8m25s prædiken om Watergate er bare ret uddateret i 2024
Spotify was unable to find the album, but I did find one of the tracks on the album: "Your Daddy Loves You". Jazz-soul-funk. Not for me.

Horrible
I can say two things: I am glad I can say that I listened to it and That’s 45 minutes I’m never getting back. Music was ok. Musicians were not very talented. The lyrics were insipid. GSH is a poet, he should have found someone to sing for him and musicians to play for him. This was a vanity project. 1 star
Politely, no thanks.
Link did not work
1970s R&B Kloot style with cheesy organ and flute. Melodic, but that's about it. Would've been a two, but loses one for the politics. A 1 star

Laulelua banaaleimmilla mahdollisilla taustoilla, joita määrittää erityisesti jazzia tursuava, pintaan miksattu piano. Miksi lyyrisesti orientoituneet ihmiset kuvittelevat, että säestys voi olla ihan mitä vain - eikö heillä ole korvia?
But I feel bad about it
Not wasting my life listening to this
Não tem no deezer e num conseui ouvir no youtube
The Bottle was the one semi alright one for me. I'm not a big blues listener, but I can see where some would see a few tracks as super early inspiration for albums that came out 10-15 years later. The backing music was more enjoyable than the vocals to me. Some decent poetry in the lyrics though.
Definitely don't enjoy the soul r&b stuff
couldn't find the album
I guess i was expecting something like "Revolution Will Not Be Televised" and got a low-key soul/jazz record. Not really my thing.
Not sure why this is on the list or why I had to listen to it. Every song sounds the same, and they're not anything I would ever choose to listen to again. Except the spoken word H2Ogate which at least sounded different (but still wasn't good.)
I'm certainly not the target audience, couldn't care less about the topics brought up. Musically this is tiring
So very, very boring. I dont care how good or important he lyrics might be, this is a chore to get through.
Slaapverwekkend saai. Af en toe schrik je wakker doordat er ineens zowaar muziek wordt gemaakt, maar vervolgens val je weer in slaap. Om op het eind nog een preek toe te krijgen. Hij had lekker op zijn houten kistje op de hoek van het park moeten blijven staan oreren.
I know he is cool but this was a bit dull….
Nope. I listened to the song Winter in America on Spotify. Couldn’t find the album. Review of the song: Jazz and a lecture. Found the album on YouTube and listened while driving and running errands. Because it was on YouTube I had no idea what song was what, and a few times it skipped to a totally different album. I did my best. This album gets a 5/5 for difficulty of listening! I didn’t like the electric piano/organ or the Pan-flute(?). Didn’t care about the song for Bobby and wasn’t moved by the one about first love or the one about domestic discord. At the end there was a poem about Watergate that was interesting…. Mildly. It name checked Frank Rizzo. I’m sure it was sensational at the time. I would have liked a lot of the songs more if there were no words.
No esta en Spotify,... lastima, se ve buen disco....
Another boring AF, soft-jazz, elevator-disco album. Painfully uninteresting. I kept thinking it'd pick up at least a little bit. But it didn't. For the first 20 minutes, it just got softer and softer and softer... to the point that I started feeling legitimate anger that I had to listen to something so pointless. Starting around track 4, "Back Home", the album picks up the pace a bit but the lyrics are still childishly soft and meaningless. And dear LORD the jazz flute. I don't know that I could hate this more. What a waste of time.

1.5
Couldn't get on spotify, tried listening on youtube but it wasn't for me. There was a lack of structure to the songs.
I wanted to like this, expected to like this but was underwhelming.
Dull
Wake me up when it's over.
- this swung fast by me, hello and goodbye

Dit is dus precies het soort jazz dat ik niet leuk vind. Of het is iets voor de zondag-nacht omdat er geen energie in zit, Of het is lekker up-tempo maar compleet zonder structuur. *
bad, made me angry, lame.
Хрен найдешь на стримингах ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
yuck
Incredible album.
This was just strange. No idea how to explain it.
Dull, aimless jazz music. There may have been a message in there somewhere, but I missed it when I fell asleep. Vocals weren't particular interesting either.
