Reviews (page 8 of 8)
This album is like when a 2 year old tells a story. It's just made up as it goes along, meandering in circles not making any real sense. It's not offensive and it doesn't have a point.
This was not for me
Boring Boring Boring. All songs sounds the same
I remember this when it came out, with her clever lyrics and folksy sound eg 'Marlene on the Wall'. This type of music was about as far away from what I liked at the time. Although the years have been kinder to it in my opinion, its still something i wouldn't go out of my way to listen to for nostalgias sake. On top of that I still hate her voice.
Literally nothing notable about this album. I suppose it was easy listening though.
Me no likey
Not a Suzanne Vega fan sans Tom Diner I guess...
2.5/10 Poslusao cijeli jer je samo 35min kao. Kantautorski zenski album izasao sredinom 80ih godina dok su synthevi prstali na sve strane i glazbena tehnologija se razvijala rapidno. Neka je ona nasla svoju nišu i beskrompomisno svirala i pjevala sto joj je bilo na srcu bez prilagodjavanja tada suvremenom zvuku (zato ju i necu usporedjivati sa puno jacim zenskom glazbenim imenima tog vremena), ali niti jedan trenutak me ovdje nije nimalo odusevio niti okrznuo osim 03:12-03:19 dijela u Undertowu i cinjenica da je zavrsila. Nisam independent knjiznicarka koja proucava zenska prava i broji popijene pive svom jebacu ili Alanis Morissette kojoj bi ovo bio uzor u glazbi. Nista osobno nemam protiv doticne ali jos nize idu samo albumi zbog kojih bi izasao iz prostorije, Kid Rock ili nesto zesce cringey/zlo.
Ew
lady, enough already
A noble effort, but it doesn't belong on this list. It just doesn't.
Oh yeah Lilith fair, and Subarus. I know her name from Toms Diner (with DNA) which was a nice little track. This one is a little too folky for me for sure.
1.5 not my favorite
1.5
Singer/songwriter is boring
Why her and why this album? This isn’t even her popular album.
Delicate and sweet and not a single song grabbed me. The vocals and guitar alone would’ve been better without all the studio BS. Did not like this much if at all.
Sounds like a kid wrote these songs.
Ok, these songs not as good as hits from other albums
Lol wtf
This was boring and inconsequential. It's not bad, but this should not be on this list.
Fine sange, men det gjorde absolut intet for mig. Forstår ikke helt hvorfor den her plade er på listen 🤷
1/5. Indie pop that could be a lot better, like it's not terrible but it's really not that good. Just pretty unforgettable songs, wish there was more here but it's just a bland record with not much to offer, not even a re-listen is worth it.
This passed me by without touching the sides. The voice doesn’t appeal and I can’t remember any of the songs. Bland.
Gefällt mir nicht.
Vega has written several 5 star songs of course but not on this album, at least not for me, it is ultraboring.
not really my type
Not my cup of tea. She has a nice voice but I don't relate to it personnally. I don't like this style of talk-singing song style.
I tried, but female singer songwriters are just not my jam.
Im bored
Bad
AJ: nice acoustic guitar sounds, weird poet lady. Yikes. She does Tom’s Diner. Do do do do, do do do do, do do do do do do do do…
1 hit wonder
Meh
The music isn't bad. But her voice is flat and if she has any range to her singing, she never shows it. She is the inspiration for every lame-ass coffee shop singer that I've heard since 1990. No thanks. One star solely for the music and for not having to listen to "Luka".
i have no time for this. well done for giving folk a 90s twist, but its still folk sang with a largely uninteresting voice.
Glorified slam poetry
The fiddle in one of the closing tracks was the nail in the coffin for me
What's with the multiple fonts on the cover? What's with the echoey, poor vocal production? What's with the terrible beat poetry spoken over random guitar? Best review I saw: Enya meets Bobo Dylan. I'd only add "in a Soho coffee house." I will admit it got more cohesive toward the end. This is one star.
Personally not for me, a bit slow for my liking.
nope
Nah
This is the worst open mic night one could possibly attend.
80’er Singer/songwriter, kedeligt
I was listening to Suzanne Vega and I fell asleep. Did I miss anything? No. Ms. Vega’s vocal style is a mix of spoken word and singing, and it doesn’t work for me. It’s like she knows she doesn’t sing that well, but still tries to make her spoken word sound singing-ish. And how is there only one Suzanne Vega album on this list and it’s not the one with Tom’s Diner? WTF?
nope. this is not my cup of tea. sounds so dated.
good but not my thing
No thank you
Wrist cutting music, yikes
Didn't enjoy! Not my style, sorry Suzanne Vega!
You know how dream pop type music tends to have some of the best vocalists? Cocteau Twins, The Cranberries, etc. I guess it's unique to approach that sound but be horrible to listen to. If I wanted to hear William Shatner's start-stop delivery of words over music, I could just listen to the songs he made. Most is so dull it bounces right off my ears. When it strays away into straight folky pop it's sickeningly cheesy. That last song at least slightly stands out from the rest, but its bass is bordering on unironically being Seinfeld music. And that album art screams "Graphic design is my passion." Struggled to finish, worst thing yet.
sang toms diner
No.
Honestly was bored af the whole time. Lyrics are kind of cheesy like what I imagine reading a monologue in a check-out isle romance novel is like, but that would probably be more entertaining. The album had stopped playing at some point and I was like, cool, it's over, but turns out I had only listened to FOUR SONGS and Spotify had just died for some reason.
I didn't know any of her stuff beyond Luka and the doo doo do doo song, so was curious. Disappointed. Feels like middling 80s stuff. Julianna Hatfield without hooks?
Meh.
Nope.
Zzzzzz. Kill me.
