Gudars skymning vilket tråkigt album.

Trina: “she’s awful what’s wrong with her voice” Utter shite Couldn’t finish it

Too Folksy(?) if that's the right term. Not for me, sorry Miss Nyro.

A shrieking mess. Barely listenable. Must admit I nearly gave up on this one

Good God help me. Was begging for this to end. Such a shrill voice. Like Joni Mitchell on crack. Singing high and loud does not automatically mean good. Hard pass

This one was not good

Samasta historiallisesta hetkestä peräisin kuin Carole King, mutta jazzahtavampaa ja (PALJON) epäkoukukkaampaa. Eipä Nyro minua mitenkään erityisesti hierrä, mutta en näe tilannetta, jossa kuuntelisin tätä uudelleen. Miinusta sanoituksista.

This album was definitely not for me. I did not enjoy it. Instrumentally, there were some interesting songs. The lyrics and the vocals were off-putting.

Has moments but they’re fleeting. Feels like background music for a coffee shop

Sounds like Carole King or Joni Mitchell but with none of the talent or charm.

Jazzy, voice goes up and down constantly and it’s just not my taste

This is the ultimate try too hard album. An aural assault.

Just about the worst thing ever.

Absolutely grating! Guess tastes are really subjective, I simply cannot enjoy the vocals, quite the opposite. Sounds dreadful to me. Had to turn it off pretty soon.

Album about ex lovers

Oei neje

Didn’t really get this. Late sixties singer-songwriter stuff. The doo-wop one was pleasant but the rest didn’t do anything for me.

Long forgotten. Should have remained so.

This reminded me a lot of Joni Mitchell and Carole King: neither of whom I like at all. There was only one song where Laura wasn't forcing her singing to a level of intensity that didn't match the music. A meandering mess.

Not my thing.

Carole King wannabe

I imagine that she’s constantly winking as she performs. Pass

mærkelig sing/songwriter, country, Pj harvisk

0/5 why you do this to me

Honestly don’t understand how this was selected - but then I’ve always hated this kind of tripe - fuck the 60s

This is one of three albums I get to listen to on an island in hell. Things that sound better: Open mouthed pork rind crunching on a public bus, mosquito stuck in your ear canal and the always reliable fingers on a blackboard. I tried to find something good about this cloying 70sesque drivel, but not much here. The opening seconds of “Poverty Train” we’re ok.

Well she has a good singing voice but her campy, bouncy jazzy pop style was really grating and annoying to me. I couldn’t get thru this one

Worst one so far. My brain hurts from trying to listen to it

This I hate.

I think there's a reason this never really gained popularity... Nyro is clearly talented vocally but her songwriting is just not that good and it sounds like show tunes, which is kind of insufferable. Really campy. I can't finish the album :/

jazzy; yllättävän hyvä, mut silti vähän tylsä; ei yhtään biisii, jonka kuunteleminen ois ärsyttäny
