Let’s stay together and I’ve never found a girl
The falsetto on this guy is something, prominently used in the song 'Old Time Lovin'. Overall amazing vocals and cool rhythm guitar, had a fun evening... The first few songs of the album were okay ish but got better in the mid way to the end.
A nice and calm soul album. There's nothing really exciting outside of the first song really but I would revisit it
it was okay, title track is always a banger. the rest wasn't my kind of music, but I can see how this was the JAM back in the day. making your kids clean up on a sunday with al green playing the back. *ahhh good ol days*
This album feels far too much like two absolutely belting songs amidst some mid-level album tracks. As an album it's got a nice sound/vibe, and the vocals are obviously strong.
2 great songs, other songs don’t reach that level.
Solid album
I liked the songs throughout the album quite a bit, but I wouldn't listen again. It was a high three in my opinion.
Track 1 took me back to being a teenager and 7 straight back to Notting Hill . Gentle , easy listening .
Good listen. Smooth. Green's vocals paired with the jazz-lounge musicality really make for a relaxing experience. "I've Never Found a Girl" ended up being the favorite.
14/02/2026 Decent enough album, decent enough listen. Spotify listeners: 7.2 million
Bit meh
Really dope use of strings. Lyrics didn't move me very much. Feels like it's just a 30 min jam. Which is cool! But also not ground breaking to me
Let's Stay Together works mainly because of Al Green himself. His voice is smooth, controlled, and emotionally convincing, carrying the song almost effortlessly. The groove is relaxed and pleasant, and the production feels warm without being distracting. The problem is that the song doesn’t go much further than that. The melody circles the same ideas without developing, and the lyrics are extremely straightforward—romantic, yes, but also predictable. Once the mood is set, there’s little reason to stay fully engaged, especially on repeat listens. It’s enjoyable and easy on the ears, but it plays things too safe. Strong vocals and atmosphere keep it afloat, while the lack of depth and musical risk hold it back. 6/10
Favorite Songs: How Can You Mend a Broken Heart, Let's Stay Together Least Favorite Song: It Ain't No Fun to Me This was good, but it does feel like a waste of time when I listen to an album and the only songs I like are the most popular ones.
Let's Stay Together How Can You Mend a Broken Heart
it sounds nice but not for me. song intros are nice
Soul music
The actual songs on this album aren't bad, but I must say that I had heard basically everything that the album could give me by the third. Good music but It did get a little stale pretty quickly. 6/10
Album is pretty good overall but found it a little hard to disassociate the art from the artist on this one.
2/4/26. Classic first song. 6/10
This is a sweet album--great title song of course, and fun to hear a cover of How Can You Mend a Broken Heart. I had to do some quick chronology to be sure the cover wasn't the other way around, but later confirmed it's a Brothers Gibb composition. Anyway, sweet album, but not tremendous all the way through, so I'm giving it 3 stars. It did, though, make me want to listen to the rest of his discography. There's so much great music there.
I forgot to listen but i’ll update this ojay
Quality soul music. Every track is solid and enjoyable.
Two favorite songs on the album R: so you’re leaving and let’s stay together
Im sure this is significant for one reason or another. Perfectly good, serviceable Soul 7/10
// en sang inn så kjenner jeg musklene slappe av. en trøst.
An enjoyable bit of soul.
Cool times
Some pretty good soul music here
Some lovely, undeniably beautiful songs, but as an entire album tends to feel a bit monotonous.
cool and comfy, but i like things with more beatssssssssss
Enjoyable but pretty simple. Makes you tap your foot and snap your fingers but doesn't make me want to revisit any specific song 5.7/10
I mean... Let's Stay Together will alway be associated with Pulp Fiction for me--which is a good thing--and the album was pleasant to listen to, but it's not the type of thing I foresee myself putting on again.
Generally speaking, I love soul music. And this was certainly a nice listen - very easy, and very pleasant. There's just something...boring here. Maybe because it all sounds so similar, maybe because it's mostly lower energy. Not even necessarily a negative - just doesn't feel like much of a standout album to me.
i mean yes very funnn
This was alright but I think it was just added for the titular track.
fun
Good record!! Finally got something I hadn't heard that ended up being a total disaster... Awesome rhythm section, great selection of horns, enjoyed the amount of organ as well as how it fitted in the melody, great band, nice tempos and to top it off fantastic vocals. Really enjoyed this one!
Just fine
Classic
Enjoyed. Very refreshing.
Perfect example of an artist where the greatest hits would have been a better choice.
Enjoyed, good to play in the background but nothing reaches the opening tune.
Kind of boring but chill enough. Simply not my genre of music.
A funky listen!
I recognized the 1st song
My favorite part of the album is his soothing voice. The titular song is the peak of the album for me, I believe there’s a reason it’s the most famous song from it and unfortunately it’s also the first song on the album so it was kind of downhill from there. I can appreciate this as great for its genre, and the instrumentals are impressive with some great bass lines and fun horn sections but overall not sure it’s my kind of music. I will say- my second favorite song was definitely What Is This Feeling.
I hate the 5 star rating system, this album deserves more than 3 but not quite a 4 star record for me. Listened to this one for a second time now and I appreciated it a bit more on the second listen. It has some classic hits, but the first 3 songs are great! They are a bit funkier which is more of the style I prefer. There really isn't a bad tune though, so I enjoyed it all the way through.
Great album, but wasn't my kind of music. I did enjoy many songs from it though! Favorite tracks: Let's stay together, so you're leaving, how can you send a broken heart
This album got me moving a little. Very enjoyable 6.5/10 3.5/5
its cool and funky, and i like the melody runs that happen in the songs. ultimately, this is background type music for me
The title track is great. The rest is background music. It all runs together and sounds the same. 3.5
dang that is a sweeeeeet man ^w^ maybe a bit repetitive but i like it this way a nice soul album
C'est pas mauvais, mais ça se traîne franchement trop pour moi.
Groovy! Worth a re-listen!
Short and sweet; every moment is filled with instrument;, doesn't overstay it's welcome; the mix brings out each instrument's texture. Pretty much as good as this genre can get
⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ 1/2
Easy listen but not one I'd go back to
Sonntag, 11.01.2026 Immer noch im Wohnzimmer meiner Eltern
Not my Style. Classic though
Another artist's violent proclivities towards women. The HOT GRITS incident I remember in the news for a second. That said, the sultry soulful semi-romantic tracks on this album could be so good if not for real life. Listened before? N Saved tracks? N Favorite tracks? Let's Stay Together, How Can You Mend a Broken Heart ⭐⭐⭐ For the music 🤬 For the artist
Mukavia rytmejä ja vokaaleja jossa niskaa piti nytkyttää! Tykkäsin!
I really loved the instrument play on this album
6/10. Nice to listen to while reading or doing something else.
Classic album. Songs seem repetitive in sound but I’ll never complain about hearing Al greens serenade voice/sound.
Lange Busfahrt. Letzte Reihe. Sonnenschein fällt in mein Gesicht. Schön, aber jeder Song auch irgendwie gleich.
Shit made me smile. Silky vocals and full of soul
Title track is iconic and while I didn't really think much of the rest stuck out to me, I didn't mind the listen one bit. 3.5
I don’t dislike soul it’s just typically not the kind of music I listen to. this album is very pretty though! The first half of the album is kind of sonically repetitive however, but there is some variety in the second half which I liked, especially in the last 3 songs, which are the best on the album imo. Overall I think I’d give the album a 3.5/5 (or a 3 on the website because you can’t do halves) I might not come back to it but for what it’s worth I did like it.
first track was a stand out, very enjoyable and relaxing. i think the singer is a woman beater so.. awks. good music tho
Not a strong enough album for 4 stars but this is a worthy 3 stars.
Not entirely my jam but the groove is undeniable
Decent soul, nothing else gets close to being quite like the title track. Listening to the tracks with the domestic abuse stories does shift the sound somewhat. Great voice but a lot of buts. 3 Star
I did not really like it. It is sorta background music for me, the only song that escaped that realm for me I sLet’s stay together and rightfully so.
Soulful singing, tight rhythm guitar 3 - deservedly on this list
Good vibes, soulful, short but sweet
Similar to the recent Curtis Mayfield album
- already listen to a few songs on this album. but it is refreshing listening to albums in order as you begin to pick up on transitions and other intentions by production.
He’s got a great voice. Grew a bit boring after a few songs.
Started strong but I forgot I was listening to it.
Nice listen but nothing worth revisiting for me.
This is considered R&B, ya know, rhythm & blues. If you listen to r&B now, you'd be hard pressed find one like this one. Soulful, sorrowful & little bit funky. He's got a great voice & I love horns. 3
Not my genre, and haven't really heard much of him before. Not really a fan of the title song. But I actually quite enjoyed the last three tracks. But I think if I want to listen to soul, I'll stil go with Otis, Sam or Marwin.
Whether or not I'm right in this opinion, this very much feels like archetypal soul and RnB. And it's very pleasant. I do think thr songs are a little bit same-y and some of the shorter songs are a little low on impact, but the full experience is there. This is smooth, sultry, earnest and, as I mentioned, very pleasant. I do generally like my soul and RnB a touch more mutated, but this is a me problem that will not effect most people. Regardless, a good time.
Pretty good. A bit shmoozie.
To me, still a timeless, refreshing sound. I probably don’t need a whole album of it.
Smooth
Sure
Really great voice. Title track clearly a highlight
Easy listening, general soul grooves and instrumentation. Lot of repetition and similar sounding songs except for the first and last tracks, which were my favorite.
Liked it but maybe not quite my type of music. Title track was great!
Al Green took the longest to grow on me of the big Soul names of the 70s, with his unique production style not quite agreeing with what my ears want to hear. That combined with his more directly sex-driven subject matter made it an uphill battle to compete with the likes of Marvin Gaye and Stevie Wonder. Eventually, I'm Still in Love with You clicked for me, and it has helped me appreciate much of his other work as well. Even after this though, Let's Stay Together as an album does not hold up as well for me unfortunately. Despite the eponymous track being absolutely stunning, the rest of the album fails to carry that momentum anywhere. With the exception of How Can You Mend a Broken Heart, the rest of the tracks feel flat and formulaic. It leaves the album feeling more one-note than I would like, with any shred of memorability from the other tracks being overshadowed by the only two that venture to do something interesting. Albums that are packed with nothing but love songs typically struggle to keep my interest, but I can get into it more when the musical material supporting them is engaging enough. Unfortunately, I think Let's Stay Together suffers primarily due to its lack of variability for the majority of its runtime, relying too heavily on its wonderful singles to make up for the rest.
Sounds good. Entertaining as opposed grabbing attention.
pues me ha gustado , en plan sin más, mi fav es la de how can you mend a broken heart pq me sonaba de tiktok
6.0/10
This kind of smooth soul washes over me and all the songs feel a bit samey. I realise this is because I'm not familiar enough with the genre to appreciate the nuances of arragment and performance properly. Hopefully this project will educate me a bit.
pretty good, not as good as stankonia
Funny, 2 or 3 amazing songs and the whole album is but still I find it hard to rate it higher than 3.5 stars. I guess it’s good, but it’s not a album you put on and go (actively) listen too. Most songs are perfect just as background music.
Warm and smooth, pleasant enough vocals. Some of the strings and drums are enjoyable here, but it’s a weirdly bad recording for something from the 70s. Maybe that’s a deliberate choice to sound more old-school. It’s alright but won’t be coming back to it.
A soul classic but listening to this record it's understandable why he is a bit of a one hit wonder. The rest of the record is not nearly as strong as the title track
The song "Let's Stay Together" is a library-of-congress-level classic, but this album isn't serviced by putting it first. All the following songs kind of blend together without much definition and I wish they put "Let's Stay Together" further back in the track list. Don't get me wrong, Al Green has a great voice and every song here is smooth, sexy, and immaculately produced; it's just hard to tell them apart when they're all stacked on top of each other. "How Can You Mend A Broken Heart" barely stood out to me, and only because it's already in the zeitgeist (it seems like it's used in tv/movies more than the original Bee Gees version). The only other song I remember with any distinction is the last track, "It Ain't No Fun To Me"
Gotta love Al. This isn't my favorite of his albums but it's still very enjoyable. Favorite track: Let's Stay Together 3.5/5
First listen
Let’s Stay Together is a great song, it’s the best song on the album and also the first, meaning the album peaks early. The rest of the album is pretty good but didn’t do quite enough to convince me to give a 4th star.
Title track and Broken Heart were pretty good. Everything else was meh, low-end 3
It’s a good album. The title track is definitely the best and much of the album isn’t at that level. But the grooves are good and Green’s voice is great. 3.5/5 Probably will listen again
Supergreen
3.0 Great first song - hard to top it after that. If you're into Soul you're probably upset I only gave it a 3 but. . . honestly just not my genre. I will say this is 1000 times better than the next album I review.
3.75!!!
Al Green is one of the great later-era Soul Singers and this album has his most known song (Talking Heads fans be damned). I'm more into female soul singers for this genre and Al Green is quite an iconic voice and presence, but isn't something I'm going to seek out and put on very often. Nevertheless, the record is still enjoyable but misses something to really gravitate it better for me. I think I'd like some of his other albums more than this one.
Classics for Sunday afternoon, but the whole thing was a little bland for a Friday
I'm not a big fan of soul music, but I thought this was pretty good for what it was. The songs were hopeful and upbeat. For a style of music I'm not tremendously fond of, I thought that this was pretty good.
bom album, na pegada de um souls, voz suave e com otimo timbre, percusão da banda impecavel, a melhor do album: Old Time Lovin'
Nice vibe on a monday afternoon
Pulp Fiction.
fino, solidno
Great album but slow for my taste
Good for my soul.
The title track makes it a little better than okay. But it was just okay. I grew up listening to Al Green's greatest hits. That is very good. I ldo like how so many of the bands of the early seventies had horn sections like this one. 7/10
This was fine, but not great.
I wanted to like this album more than I ended up enjoying it. A few standout songs, the rest was less memorable.
A couple of great ones, and some reasonably good soul, but not all of them were strong.
Nice to loop yoyos to
Zwar auch ein ruhiges Album von denen es hier leider viel zu viele gibt, aber dieses spricht mich wieder mehr an. Vorallem in der ersten Hälfte, gegen Ende verliert es mich dann etwas, aber trotzdem 3/5
Pretty good stuff. Overall, the doesn’t quite make it to a four but definitely a solid three. Helena did not like it, but she was in a bad mood.
Muy soulero y disfrutable pero escuchadas un par, escuchadas todas.
I didn't have strong feelings about any of the songs on this album when I listened to it. I think its a good album, but not exactly my type of music.
Some classic songs, but not a great album.
Chill, can see why it's on the list, not a repeater for me 3
A good warm up for his next album (I'm Still in Love with You), favorite Al Green album. Needs no extra tracks, the 34 minute run time is just the right amount.
Great voice, great sound, but the songwriting takes a dive in the back half.
Thoughts before listening: Definitely a classic title track on this one. Otherwise, I know this will be soul music with strong vocals. Review: Yeah, this is definitely good although its not necessarily the type of thing I would typically listen to. This album is full of poppy, catchy r&b songs with great instrumentation and Al Green's soulful vocals. I'll add a couple songs to the playlist and this is 3-star album to me.
10/29/25. The first track is amazing. The rest I thought was good but slightly repetitive. Love Al Green's work and need to check out the rest of his discography.
Nice. Chill. Not a genre I normally like but feels like something I will cook to.
I feel like there's a certain type of listener who thinks music reached its peak with early '70s soul and I honestly can't say I blame them – there's a kind of innocence in albums like Let's Stay Together that just can't be replicated in modern records. As a child of the '90s who was raised by the internet, I suppose this kind of music has never really spoken to me. I definitely wouldn't mind it being put on while out throwing a frisbee or having a picnic, but I don't think I'd ever listen to it recreationally. Highlights: Let’s Stay Together, So You’re Leaving
Today seems to be the day the album generator is dishing out all the albums that have left a complicated mark on me, and Al Green’s Let’s Stay Together is no exception. There’s no denying Al Green’s place in the spotlight, he’s an incredible musician with a phenomenal legacy. But for me, he’s a bittersweet artist. When I was a teenager working in a golf course kitchen, I had this older chef who was kind of a dirty, overweight, and creepy guy, who was always making inappropriate comments about our young female coworkers, mostly in their 20s, who he had zero chance with. He’d constantly play artists like Al Green and try to school me on how this was the ultimate “love making music” and all that. So, yeah, whenever I hear Al Green or a lot of old school soul and funk, it takes me right back to those uncomfortable moments, tainting the experience despite the music’s quality.
Two of the best songs of all time on the album, but as a whole it has a few lackluster moments
Great soul. Did not expect it to be so homegrown sounding Never heard any of it past the titular track before
Um bom disco, apesar de manter os vocais lânguidos tão característicos da soul music, destaca-se pela riqueza e sutileza instrumental pelas partes de órgão, metais e arranjos de cordas (exceto nas baladas).
Very chilled out and easy to listen to
sonically pleasing but lacking some measure of "oomph" for me to feel emphatic about it, though i do love the sound of those retro strings - pretty good overall!! highlights - let's stay together, i've never found a girl, how can you mend a broken heart, judy, it ain't no fun to me
I like Al Green, but I’m not going to pretend like parts of this record were a little bit of a slog to get through…well, maybe not a slog, exactly. I think the problem is that it starts really strong, and then not much else is nearly as strong as the title track. I could also do with a bit of tempo change once in a while. So, decent enough record, but being front-loaded with the best song in the record makes the rest of it look not nearly as good by comparison. And it could stand to pick up the pace once in a while. 3/5
Enjoyable, maybe a little samesy?
alright
I was hoping to like this more, as a lot of the old R&B I have listened to on this list has been great, but this was just average to me. The title track is a great song and Al's voice is smooth and good to listen to. I just found a lot of these songs to be pretty homogenous and unexciting. This pales in comparison to anything from Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, and some others.
The title track will always remind me of Pulp Fiction. I guess that’s a generational thing. Good album, but too ”smooth” for my taste. 3/5
Upphafslagið er fullkomið. Restin af plötunni fyrir utan How can you mend a broken heart er bara frekar mikið meh.
Оно смуз, но за исключением заглавной песни прямо слишком смуз - всё в одно, и ничего не цепляет. Вайбово. Лучшая песня - Let's Stay Together.
Álbum bem legal de ouvir. Se destaca em algumas músicas. Curti. Truthear Zero: Red.
Better than I thought it would be
no es mi estilo pero esta bien, no está mal
This is all the things I expect from Al Green. Warm soul with a bit of funk, and the odd nod to James Brown. It’s got a slight gospel vibe which isn’t unpleasant. The players thrum gently in the background and none of the songs are bad. But horns… I can’t go horns, and they are all over this.
Al Green's Let's Stay Together. He didn’t bury the lead. He opened with it. That title track kicks off the album like he knew exactly what he had: a soul classic in real time, complete with those silky horns and a vocal that could charm the smoke off a cigarette. Swagger for days. And then it just keeps coming. “Old Time Lovin’” is as sultry as the name suggests, with Al practically cooing through a Marvin Gaye-style slow jam. His cover of “How Can You Mend a Broken Heart” turns a Bee Gees ballad into something soft, pleading, and devastating. And “It Ain’t No Fun to Me” as the closer. Sounds like it was recorded at 3 a.m. with one take to get it right. The whole thing runs 34 minutes. No bloat, no filler, just Al Green at the absolute top of his game.
Me gustó, pero exceptuando la primera canción (que es conocida) nada me hizo darme cuenta de lo que estaba escuchando.
7/10
I would never actively listen to this, but it's really not bad background noise. Easy to listen to soul.
Lovely but rather forgetful after the first song
Genre: R&B/Soul Nice vibes so far, perfect mood for this late night. Very nice instrumentation and vocals. A lot of variety in instruments too! The tracks each feel different from each other. It's decent but it's not my type of album, I couldn't see myself listening to this more often, I think it's just a genre I'm not super fond of (maybe incredibly uncultured of me to say...) I absolutely adore the backing vocals Oh wow "How to mend a broken heart" is a very nice and slow track, very calm, I'm fond of this one, my favourite track on the album. 7/10
I had always known Al Green’s name, but I had barely listened to his music until now. Even though I don’t have any real knowledge of soul, I could simply enjoy this album. I also realized that I love soulful bass lines while listening to this album. My favorite track is It Ain’t No Fun to Me.
First song is an undeniable classic. The rest of the album just didn't grab me the same way. Not bad... just nothing else that really stood out.
Didn’t touch me
I wish this site could let me give half star ratings, as three does not do this justice. Not a bad song here and his classic voice really elevates some of the more filler-y tracks in comparison to the massive title track and the standout "How Can You Mend A Broken Heart"
Somehow my first time listening to Al Green. But oh what a great album that was 3/5
Al Green was probably not a great person. He was charged and accused of abuse a lot. This album is soulful. Hes got a calm voice. I added two of his biggest hits, but otherwise the album just played in the background.
If my dad just bought this and i'm bored, probably listening this
His voice is full of soul. After a couple of songs you know what he’s going to deliver. Some songs sound the same but that’s not necessarily bad.
6.9/10
3.5
The title track actually holds a special place for me - it was the first dance at my wedding. I can still picture the awkward shuffling around the dancefloor like it was yesterday (though, funnily enough, that was 15 years ago today as it happens). As a record, it’s a solid slice of 70s soul, with production that really shines - I especially loved the hard-panned brass. It does get a little “hot” in places, with some vocal distortion, but honestly, I find that adds to its charm. The only thing stopping me from rating this higher is that the songwriting feels a bit samey across the record; everything has a very similar vibe. That said, there’s nothing here I’d call bad - far from it. Favourite tracks: Let’s Stay Together, What Is This Feeling, How Can You Mend a Broken Heart, Judy, It Ain’t No Fun to Me.
Tittelsporet er helt peak. Takk, Tarantino. Likevel har jeg aldri vurdert å høre på resten av skiva (eller noe annet av Mr. Green) før i dag. Og den er ganske nice. Altså det er ikke Isaac Hayes, Curtis Mayfield, eller Marvin Gaye -- det var gjev konkurranse innen soul på starten av 70-tallet -- men det må da være lov å ikke være best også.
Smooth
Smooth, melodic, easy to listen to. Surprised to hear beach music sounds in some tracks.
Oh baby.
Very good
Desolé Al, je te trouve trop clingy. Let's not stay together. Une autre toune iconique de Pulp Fiction. Mais à part la title track, j'ai pas vraiment accroché.
Fine. Not exceptional.
Not really my kind of soul. Too nice, too vanilla, little in the way of stand out tracks beyond the opener. There were way more exciting things happening in 1972.
Smooth and easy to listen to. Enjoyed it.
Soul icon, great album
If Quentin made another film this guy would probably be in it at some point.
A really nice and relaxing sounds I don't think the music aged perfectly but overall is was a nice listen
Pleasant soul album. Nondescript except for... Highlight :Lets Stay Together. a classic. Lowlight : How Can You Mend A Broken Heart. Total demolition job on a Bee Gees classic.
That's the music your parents (or probably grandparents?!) put on, when they were making love in the seventies. Fav: Let's stay together
Cool horns and vocals
This was a really good album! I've never listened to al green very much but I've liked the album and him!
I'll need to remember this album to put on if I ever get to have sex again.
Pretty normal album imo
Really enjoyed this. Very smooth on a Saturday morning.
Lindazo, nada de otro mundo. Nota: 3.0
Ok if you like Al Green
Enjoyed this one. I particularly liked and was surprised by his version of How Do You Mend a Broken Heart. Good music to chill by.
That was fine, nothing special though.
Groovy and with gusto. Very enjoyable listen. Pairs well with doing dishes or getting ready for date night.
Easy listening I guess and short as a bonus. I didn't enjoy it after the first track was done, but it wasn't awful, just a bit generic. Low 3 stars, almost 2.
A soulful, beautiful voice and a serene and easy ride throughout the album, yet, not blown away by standout tracks apart from the obvious couple. Happily put on as background any time though.
Not something I'd probably listen to and I'm not sure I like his voice, but it's clearly good music.
the opening track was so mystical + magical rest of the album was pretty good
Le vibe est super bon mais y’a une coupe de toune je trouvais que ça se ressemblait trop
Short and sweet, un bon benchmark pour du soul.
It's fine. Very little stuck though.
I thought I would like this more. Let's stay together is incredible, but a lot of the rest of it is just nice and flows by without much thought. He has a great voice and the playing is nice, everything is pretty smooth, I just didn't find anything particularly inspiring or memorable.
quite enjoyable. classic stuff. bot the biggest fan of his choppy singing style in how can you mend a broken heart.
Not good not bad
oh no. there's still some redeeming quality to it so im going to give it a 3.
other than the title track this started to run together for me, maybe the songs needed to stay APART
Fine, a good vibe
I had higher hopes for this album. It was good but ok, wasn’t great.
Had a stressful day and listened to this on a drive on my way to my friends which really got me to a calmer mood. Restful (maybe peaceful is a better word). Favourite track: how can you mend a broken heart.
Great soul/love music. Definitely recognize the voice and certain songs.
Not my type of music, but its good!
Bohhh, carino, nulla di assurdo, r&b funketto ok
Stark singel ojämnt album. Titelspåret är överlägset och känns eget och nytt. Albumet mer standard och albumspårigt. Undantaget How can you mend a broken heart, den var svinbra! Lyssna igen: bara på hitsen Bästa spår: D- let’s stay together Dw - let’s stay together Betyg: d- 6 av 10 (3 av 5) Dw - 5 av 10 (2 av 5)
It was pretty good.
3.4
Good soul music
Easy listen
3/5.
This was easy to listen to. I liked the horns. Not my style of music in general though
Let’s Stay Together is smooth and soulful with a great vocal performance, but aside from the title track, it’s a bit too lo-fi for me to revisit often
Las dos canciones que conocía son geniales, la de Judy también me gustó mucho y el resto un poco sin más
Smooth and calm, soulful music from the early 70s. I liked the sound overall, though no songs really stood out and soul isn't a genre I listen to very often. 3+ stars.
dobrze sie sprzatalo
downloaded 1 and 7
Very groovy. The rest of the songs didn’t really catch up to Let’s Stay Together for me, but that might just be nostalgia.
Pretty enjoyable, but all fairly samey. Don't get me wrong I love a bit of funk/ soul but it wasn't mind blowing. All the songs kinda blurred into 1 by the end, and the only standout one to me was the very first one.
Cover 6 I feel like the songs could be reordered as a chronology of a relationship. As it is, they seem a bit out of order,. But overall a good album.
Album starts off with an absolute classic in Let's Stay Together. Really sets the tone for the album. Made for a good half hour of super easy listening to start the morning. No complaints, just vibes. Thanks Al 🤝 Favorites: - Let's Stay Together - I've Never Found a Girl - How Can You Mend a Broken Heart
I have a feeling soul and jazz albums are going to consistently rank high for me on this list. I’ve always loved the title track, but this was a good opportunity to listen through the rest of the album for the first time. The other tracks don’t quite reach the same highs as Let’s Stay Together, but still an enjoyable listen. Favorite tracks: - Let’s Stay Together - How Can You Mend a Broken Heart
Great album for breakfast.
Soul music is generally just a good time all the way through, but it’s not always all that memorable. This is one of such cases. On a positive note, I definitely would not skip any of these songs. They’re all objectively good. Love this guys voice, but it does legitimately put me to sleep, and in my opinion nothing really stands out at all. Not a problem, but this was little more than just background noise to me. My favorite song, as I felt it did things in a somewhat unique and different way, is “La-La For You.” I would for sure be excited hearing more of this, so for that reason it’s at least a 3.6, if not slightly higher.
tis good but i can't get behind this music
Definitely a mood
A-side has great soul songs, but by turning to B-side it gets more generic. The band is obviously full of professional studio players which is enjoyable to listen. Green is a great soul singer, but not one of my favourite ones. He knows all the singing tricks but could use them more conservatively. Lyrics are regular 'Babe, I love you' kind of stuff.
I don't particularly care for his voice, the album cover is pretty bad, and the instrumentals feel a little cut-and-paste, but the songwriting is good and the record isn't too long. 3.0/5.0: Good
This is some well produced, smooth soul. My 3/5 is quite subjective. If I were feeling lovelorn I just might resonate stronger and would be rate this album higher.
It doesn't get any better than the title track for Al Green's "Let's Stay Together." The rest of the album is good, but nothing like the single. And it's enough to put this album on the list. the song is that perfection!
It’s ok, not my kinda thing
Good, Al showcases a good vocal range with his soul singing. It's sad, happy, pained, hopeful. First listen - all love songs, sing about something else Al Second listen - all good songs. Kinda samey but I enjoyed.
Not bad, but not something I’d listen on my day to day.
nice enough
Interesting album
Nice sound and vibe!
About as cool and funky as you'd expect.
35/1001. I love Al Green, but at the same time if this record didn't exist I'm sure I would not think there is something missing from the world. It comes and goes, mostly harmless.
Entraînant mais répétitif
Mellow mellow mellow.
Nice.... uplifting
Fantastisk stemme, flotte arrangementer. Tittelsporet er ikonisk (med god grunn) og resten av albumet er ikke så verst
It's got soul, and rocks pretty well. Superb band. Favourite tracks: Let's Stay Together, So You're Leaving, I've Never Found A Girl
Classic soul album.
34 minutes of Al Green was just perfect. A minute more and the whole vibe would have crashed and burned. Obviously I only knew the famous single, but the rest complimented it very well. A great summer album.
Nice album
Loved the soulful feel. Horns and strings were a nice bonus.
Good easy listening music. Title track Let's Stay Together is the hit and the best song on the album. A little bit boring at times throughout the album but good feel like a hangout as opposed to some of the overproduced. Strong finish on final track
The title track is immediately recognizable in 2025. The entire album is smooth easy and inoffensive. There's not a bad song on here from start to finish. Favourite track(s): Let's Stay Together, So You're Leaving
Un disco muy elegante, con detalles que recuerdan a Terence Trent D'arby o Lenny Kravitz.
Pretty good! I recognized the title track. This album is very consistent. I'm not usually into soul but this is extremely accessible and likeable. Would rate 3.5.
Familiar with this. Enjoyable enough for short amounts of time
Not normally my style of music. But this is pretty good.
point3.
Chill voor in de achtergrond.
swaggy
Pleasant, moseying, so much soul and groove, and leaves me much more chilled and in a groove than excited or surprised. Has its place and great production too. Not sure anything tops the opener but all songs consistently solid. Enjoyed the pick up of the last track (3.5) close to 4
Good
ok if you're in the mood for some easy listening.
Pretty good. What a beautiful voice.
It was good, I especially liked ”How Can you mend a broken heart”.
I mostly only knew of Al Green for the Talking Heads cover of "Take Me to the River" and the Orange Juice cover of "L.O.V.E. Love", honestly. As it turns out, I'm not a huge fan of him. There's nothing *wrong* with this per se, it's just that the songs don't stick with me at all.
Solid all the way through but not every track was a banger.
A smooth band and slightly adenoidal voice brush against each other. A similar quality to the roughly put-together Rev Green rolling around on silk sheets. Silk sheets don't stay tucked in for long though and this may be why the opener and title track is the best of the lot. Everything after is just rolling around in the damp spot. It's still a little sexy, but the event is over and Green frequently lonely and by himself. Why Let's Stay Together distinguishes itself is for proper scholars of soul to explain. On other tracks, Green is just as sexually pinched. The guitar sounds great throughout. The horns are always articulate and punchy (the brass line on It Ain't No Fun to Me was so good they used it again on Take Me to the River). But nothing is quite so effective after Let's Stay Together. In fact, it is the creases in the silky smoothness that stick out on the rest of the album - for example, what is going on with Al hard-panning a spoken vocal to the left on La-La For You? Still, in the numbness of the post-coital or post-sad-wank haze, not everything registers. 2.5 Another horrendous album cover. What’s happening with his face? What’s happening with the font? We’re doing an album of love songs wouldn’t it be good if the singer’s name oozed in Comic Snot green down the front cover? Was that the best wall they could find to shoot against? Could no one hold the man’s bag for him? The jacket is amazing to be fair. As is this version of How Can You Mend a Broken Heart? But the rest of the album, aside from a strong opener and maybe La La For You, is forgettable. Just one big pot of soul syrup; too sickly when served as a whole meal. There’s only so much ‘oooo oooo’ and ‘baby yeah’ the stomach can hold. 2.5/5
Fine, just a fine album, again maybe need some more listens to appreciate the finer bits but just a fine album
Smooth soul
good soul album
Title track is a stone cold classic. And then the album dipped into background music. Don't get me wrong: this is smooth as heck, but the smoothness also blends together. Would I play this album on Sunday mornings? Sure would. But it doesn't go any deeper than that for me.
This was a nice listen, relaxing and soulful.
Today seems to be the day the album generator is dishing out all the albums that have left a complicated mark on me, and Al Green’s Let’s Stay Together is no exception. There’s no denying Al Green’s place in the spotlight, he’s an incredible musician with a phenomenal legacy. But for me, he’s a bittersweet artist. When I was a teenager working in a golf course kitchen, I had this older chef who was kind of a dirty, overweight, and creepy guy, who was always making inappropriate comments about our young female coworkers, mostly in their 20s, who he had zero chance with. He’d constantly play artists like Al Green and try to school me on how this was the ultimate “love making music” and all that. So, yeah, whenever I hear Al Green or a lot of old school soul and funk, it takes me right back to those uncomfortable moments, tainting the experience despite the music’s quality.
Don’t know whether I enjoyed this or if was just how stoned I was listening to this.
The title track "Let's Stay Together" was part of your soundtrack if you were a teenager during the 1970s. I wasn't a soul fan at the time, but who didn't have a slow dance to this? A soul classic and it still sounds as good as it ever did.
Pretty good so far. Really like the horns. Style isn't totally for me but very uplifting and cheerful. 3 most likely and the horns really pushed it up. Think I'm more of a bill withers guy
A really good listen.
Good hits off of this album. Makes me romantic. Does not make my girlfriend romantic :( not my favorite but not bad at all
This was alright, idk it’s not my thing
Old school cool, Green's voice is so velvety. Love all the horns! Needs more sing-along hits after the title track.
Chill, not m'y favorite
enjoyable but won't relisten
Very one note and predictable but I guess that’s just what these type of genres are like. Still, very smooth, soulful, and vibey way to start the day. Also would probably like it more if I knew what love felt like
The bar was set high out of the gate with one of the most recognizable R & B hits from the 70’s. While the smooth soulful voice is great, the rest of the album didn’t carry as strong. 3.5/5
Kind of hard to top or follow the opening track. And although I can dig the more upbeat sounds, the rest just didn’t quite rise. All the songs on this effort are good, but were just not as memorable as the timeless title track. Maybe I’m being extra critical too, now knowing his history of routine physical abuse towards women. Damn. A hard case of trying to separate the art from the artist. Kinda taints the view I had of him and his music.
Enjoyable listen, but definitely a little sleepy at times. A few great tracks here, but a lot of this just made me wish I was listening to Marvin, Otis or Sam
Had high expectations for this. It was an enjoyable listen but didn’t stay at the high level of the opening track. Also, I gotta deduct some points for one of the worst album covers. What in the toxic avenger? Some gross green oozing down the cover? Now that’s sexy!
3.8/5 i feel like this should be a 4 but i can’t decide. it was great, but it didn’t really hit me, i’ve not been in a music mood so i struggle with really enjoying this the way i know i probably could. the first song was the only song i felt like “i love this!” gonna give it a 3 with the chance of upgrading it to a 4 on a better day.
Nice groovey ballads.
This is an album that should just grab me, but it doesn't as much as others. I love Al Green, but I struggled to listen to this through.
Carried by title track, fine overall
it is an okay album. Was not that in pressed
Mooi, een klassieker, vooral de hits waren leuk de rest wat minder
It's ok I guess. I don't really like this kind of music.
Chill tunes, and a huge hit to kick it off.
The track Let’s Stay Together alone holds this record as a classic. But not enough great Al Green to buoy the whole thing. Honorable mention: How Can You Mend a Broken Heart is a great cover of The Bee Gees classic.
