Good, felt kinda average
As with some of the others, excellent vocalist and I like the music accompaniment. However, the genre just doesn't do it for me.
dope funky soul album Let's Stay Together: dope La-La for You: pretty cool chill song; alright So You're Leaving: good track What Is This Feeling: dope song Old Time Lovin': really good song I've Never Found a Girl: dopee How Can You Mend a Broken Heart: fine, vocal mix quality is kinda rough imo Judy: alright song It Ain't No Fun to Me: good song
Groovy and nice
Mellow thoughtful lyrics, music that accompanies rather than overwhelm. What you played when you were with your best chick
Smooth listening.
Хороший звук, но нудятина
Nice vibe. Short but intence. Best songs: So you're leaving and I've never found a girl & How can you mend a broken heart
How can you hear the opening horns for "Let's Stay Together" and not get pumped? Al Green's voice is so smooth, and my only complaint is that his vocals get buried in this mix and it's hard to understand what he's saying. Otherwise it's super groovy and mellow, perfect for Sunday Morning breakfast.
Smooth as fuck, and I really like how crisp the drums and guitar sound
really goddamn good
Timeless
Always down for some Al Green
classic smooth soul album
19th July 2021 Listened in the shower then on the living room speaker while getting ready for work in the morning. So relaxing, super chilled and so nice to listen to on a day like this. Absolute diamond.
Loved it. Would listen again
Ace.
3/5
Klassiker, den ich wirklich gern höre!
Groovy echt tierisch
Smooth as butter. Why have I not listened to this album before? The funky, chill rhythm just burns on every track and the horns add a great layer. This one is going in my saved bucket and may even show up on vinyl in my house. I couldn't wait for the Stones album to finish and I didn't want this one to end.
Отличный соул!
I was in the mood for this today. Realized one of the main reason I like a song is whether or not I could see myself playing it for people. I would love to learn these songs and play them. Especially "It Ain't No Fun to Me" that song oozes groove and cool right from the first bass notes. And I actually felt feelings when the first horn swells of Old Time Lovin' came in. I will put this album on again and let it play in the background of my life at home.
Ganz okayer Funk + Soul, anscheinend auch ein Klassiker. Hab ich so nebenbei weggehört, musste aber nur selten aufhorchen.
Smooth from start to finish. Laid back and chilled out, but still puts you in a happy mood.
One good song (because it was in Pulp Fiction), the rest - boring
3.5/5 i'll have to relisten to judge.
Solid old-school soul. A classic, and one that I also like. 4/5.
Paar leuke, opgewekte nummers.
Soul zoals soul moet zijn. Niet 100% m'n ding maar wel een oké album
He has such a calming smooth voice, it's very relaxing. I wish there were more stand out songs on this album than just the title track though. That voice could have done so much more.
Title song is a classic. Good soul album. Best songs: Let's Stay Together, I've Never Found a Girl & It Ain't No Fun To Me.
Enjoyed
Eee
Smooth!
Fijne muziek en toffe stem. Openingsnummer herkende ik wel, maar ik vond het overige werk ook prima te pruimen.
Goeie vibe!
Wel mooi.
Gran disco, suena muy natural y muy Gospel. Me gusta
La voz es magnífica.
This had some classic hits on it, I was into the whole vibe.
not bad at all, I liked that the songs weren't super long but in this case they could've been even a bit longer
nice rhythm but the music is to jazzy
I znowu czarny album, tym razem klasyka soula, chociaz nie jestem fanem gatunku, to jednak dosc charakterystyczne nazwisko wokalisty zapada w pamiec, tak samo jak jego wokal, bo to wlasnie on jest czyms co go wyroznia, a moze inaczej to wlasnie Green byl jednym z pionierow smooth soula i to jego wokal nakreslil standardy jak maja spiewac inni, wiec wokal potrafi przechodzic od gladkiego szeptania, do ostrego wycia, co najlepiej oddaje kawalek old time lovin, wazne jest takze to w jaki sposob instrumentale kieruja sie za wokalem, a nie jak zazwyczaj ze wokal dostosowuje sie do instrumentali, a te sa bogate, sekcja rytmiczna drumy razy dwa, basik, organy gitarki, a do tego dochodzi sekcja instrumetow detych, trebacze, puzony i w co tam jeszcze mozna dmuchac, a do tego dochodzi chorek, ktory w klasycznym rokowym materiale bylby overdubem, a tutaj jest to zywa interakcja z wokalista, chociaz tematycznie bardzo soulowo czyli milosc, milosc smutna, milosc radosna, to slucha sie tego przyjemnie, a sam material to tylko 34 minuty, na plejaka tytulowy opening lets stay together oraz how can you mend a broken heart
Unspeakably good.
Love this. It’s impossible to sit still listening to Al Green.
Couple of great songs, good album overall, but not great start to finish.
Every song's a classic, every song's sound. Green's got a voice.
Muito gostoso de ouvir!
Let's Stay Together
so good...
Stands the test of time. Strong horns supporting the vocals.
Al Green is a favourite, and this is the album that introduced me to him. Great songs, slick and emotional vocals, timeless classic.
Smooth AF album all throughout. 8/10
It's ok ╮(. ❛ ᴗ ❛.)╭
Very good
nah
Sensual, auténtico, puro Soul.
Oh yah... Such a lovely record from the Rev
A
Fuck you, JF... it's a good album. C'mon, let's stay together, when the times are good or bad, happy or sad ❤️
Hit me with the horns! Overall, I like the mellow vibe and smooth grooves.
A fine, groovy, and soulful album.
Así nomas
Мне такое впринцпе неособо нравится
Soul, trumpeter. Nice bas i I've never found a girl. 6/10.
Pretty good soul? album. Very nice voice, and enjoyable to listle to.
Decent soul album
wonderful album to get on a relaxing sunday.
I feel cool just listening to this. Pretty frickin' fantastic start to finish.
Listenable. Banger title track. Not going to dial it up every day.
hell yeah, man. another great snapshot of its time - plus It Ain't No Fun to Me is a fantastic track, and a perfect way to close out this album.
Cool but a bit slow for my taste
Good stuff. What an amazing voice.
Solid gold, and although the title track is very popular, the rest of the album is packed full of lesser known tracks which, to me, encapsulate al's early edge much better than some of his more popular work. Long time fav
Fucking classic
So this is definitely the kind of 70s music I wish I’d heard more of growing up. I like this one, very groove, funk.
Great way to start off this challenge. Love it energy he brings to the tracks. Everyone of them commands your attention. How can you mend a broken heart.... :'(
In general, this is my kind of thing, I love this style of music. This album was less upbeat than I like it, though, so not my favorite. I will hunt down some more Al Green, though.
one song is enough
Classic Love and Soul
No enganchó.
Empezó bien pero para durar media hora aburrió muy pronto.
Loved this! So funky and of it’s time but still holds out today. Gotta love some smooth beats and horns.
Bra soul
One of the best Motown albums
LOVED it. Did not expect that whatsoever
Fucking loved it.
One of my all-time favorite albums .Al Green is hopeful and soulful.
I think I'm starting to get into soul.
Pretty chill
Not as good as Al Green Explores Your Mind but still nice.
Already saved in Spotify albums. Classic album. The title track is my fav of the album. 7.5/10
Very good soul, I mean, let’s stay together is one of the best songs out there
Solid vocals. Sooth and tight R&B band. This album is a classic.
Amazing
I like it. Ole' SChool. Wasn't the best album i've ever heard.
1. Really strong, instrumentation is nice and just in general really calming. 2. Really chill guitar and synth in background. Piano really nicely combines with guitar and is good on its own. Synth and guitar remind me of the album Pacific with Hosono (first song on it I think? with the gliding up guitar/synth together). Not too fond of horns but not bad. Really loving the synth. 3. Love the bass part and tone of the bass. Guitar is nice, but not dominant. Really lets drummer shine, solid with synth too. Bass work is impressive. 4. Arpeggiated guitar and synth work is impressive. Guitar work really nice, chorus additional voices are good to hear. Love the guitar riff. *Learn this song, you'll love it* 5. Bass and guitar sound SO good. Amazing guitar work, *learn this song too*. Good jam. 6. Amazing synth, guitar, and especially bass. Really groovy. Strings are really nice. Trumpets are good. 7. Really relaxing and amazing guitar and synth. Additional singers really nice. Really nice bass tone. Love the Rhodes. 8. So strong off the start, guitar and strings beautiful. Rhodes is subtle but nice. Love it. 9. Guitar interesting and nice, tweed sound I think? Bass tone is really good and impressive. The horns are okay. Strong end to the album as a whole.
La la for you is my favorite song on the album, I really like the genre and will explore it further.
Magical album. I'm a particular fan of the horns used throughout. I will be adding this to my shopping cart.
Pretty good soul music, I'm enjoying, I do think my favourite is Let's Stay Together
lovely, smooth, timeless
Some classics
This dude FEELS. I felt more romantic having listened to this album. Wish I'd found it sooner
Perfect dinner at home vibes
Smooth, relax, definitely something I can listen with a petite.
Sometimes I can't sleep at night. I think I might have found a solution to my problem.
Solid!
Głos jego mi się nie podoba ://
I recognize the greatness of this album, but I didn't enjoy it nearly as much as the other 5-stars in my collection so far. I suspect the lines between some of these is going to be inconsistent. Oh well! 4 stars.
Simply Fantastic!
Soulful, listenable. Only one famous song.
Meh
Really fun album good stuff nice to hear more than just the title track.
Fantastic, smooth, let's stay together is great
Mb
So full of soul.
Not bad at all. Hip hop isn't really what I am into but I can appreciate it.
Great album, not for me though.
Lækker, afslappende 70’er soul, gospel-inspireret
Oh this album fucks
Classic
Soulful and sensual. Pleasant, but not really my everyday jam. Love the lush instruments, and Green's voice is wonderful. Favorite tracks: "It Ain't No Fun to Me", "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart"
I enjoyed this. A few songs were standouts, but overall it was pleasant. 3.5
Great soul album. Title track is obviously the hit, but quality throughout the rest of the tracks, too.
1972. Key Songs: How Can You Mend a Broken Heart, Let's Stay Together
Kicks off with it's best track but nothing to dislike with the groove and vocal of classic Al Green
Very 70's! Loved it
Pretty good. Superchill. Closer to a 3.5 though
This is pretty bland. It's not awful, but even at half an hour (including two covers) it's too long. 2/5.

I know this is classic, but it failed to grab me.
