As with some of the others, excellent vocalist and I like the music accompaniment. However, the genre just doesn't do it for me.
One good song (because it was in Pulp Fiction), the rest - boring
Мне такое впринцпе неособо нравится
one song is enough
No enganchó.
Empezó bien pero para durar media hora aburrió muy pronto.
Głos jego mi się nie podoba ://
This is pretty bland. It's not awful, but even at half an hour (including two covers) it's too long. 2/5.
Not for me
Wife beater? 1 star
No
music by an african american for african americans just doesn't appeal to me. why is it in the list ?
Slow, decent but not as much my vibe
No points from me wife beater
Not my taste in music
Fine soul album
Not my stuff

it's sweet but not my vibe
Great title track. Otherwise quite dull. Some nice brass lines but other than the title track there’s nothing memorable.
Not a fan
Would have hated this album when it was released as Soul music was not what I liked at all. I would like to think that as I’ve matured I can appreciate this music for what it is. No doubt it is a Soul classic and the title track is a well known song immediately recognisable. But I need to be honest and as much as I try to analyse this album and look for the good things, but for me beyond that title track there is nothing. 1/5 12/8/24
So, a Barry white knockoff? Just with a higher voice? Pass
Let's Stay Together is great. I also really like, How Can You Mend a Broken Heart - but it is a Bee Gees cover, so -1. The rest of the album isn't noteworthy. Sorry Reverend.
Expected to really dislike this, but thought it started ok. It soon got too much though and I was pretty bored fairly quickly. 1.5. soul just isn't my thing
I'm not american. I have no connection to this kind of music. I don't understand it. Al Green is a violent piece of shit. His voice is ridiculous. This music is just incredibly boring and uninspired. What's he even singing about? Completely trite trash. I actively hate this album.
God this is boring.
ALBUM 1 2.14.2024 1) Let's Stay Together Very slow and tedious. I don't know why this was listened to more than 500k on Spotify. The singer's voice was inaudible, maybe because it was recorded in 1972, I don't know. 2) La-La For You Even worse than the previous one. It sounds like a lullaby for kids rather than an actual song for an audience with a taste and consciousness. 3) So You're Leaving? I wish, but I have just started this 1001 albums thing, and I'm not letting a boring album discourage me from day one. 4) What Is This Feeling Boredom, I'm telling you. And he's starting to sound high. 5) Old Time Lovin' I'm running out of creative ways to express how boring each song is. They all sound the same but more insufferable than the previous one. 6) I've Never Found A Girl Duh. If a guy looked me in the eye and said that he wrote this album for me, I would get plastic surgery and change my personality and everything else he liked about me. My gender included. 7) How Can You Mend A Broken Heart? How can you mend my Spotify recommendations after I listened to this album? 8) Judy My girl Judy, may God have mercy on you because his voice ain't gonna. 9) It Ain't No Fun For Me My thoughts about this album. But not necessarily for this song. I won't say I liked it, but I wouldn't change stations if it came up on the radio. But no, of course the only toleratable song had to be the last track in the album and the least played song on Spotify. OVERALL: Not a great start to my journey of 1001 albums. I could only listen to the songs halfway. I definitely could have died without listening to this album. Inaudible singer, bland lyrics, no emotion, toleratable instrumentation. If this album is one of the best of blues, I don't think I will ever listen to blues willingly.
Einschläfernder Soul.
Eine Kater wimmert zu leisen Klaviertönen über seine Probleme mit dem anderen Geschlecht. Es kommt kaum Power oder Begeisterung bei soviel „uuuuuuh“, „ wääää“ und „iiiiiij“ rüber. Manche nennen es Blues or Soul; ich fand es nur Zeitverschwendung.
Soul ist nicht mein Geschmack. Dieses weichgespülte und der monotone Rythmus…langweilig
Not my music
not my kind of soul
Snooze
didn't listen to all of it because it was horse bollocks
Some fun guitar stuff going on but not my style of music
nah
Sometimes I can't sleep at night. I think I might have found a solution to my problem.
