Back To Black

I like the soul elements, but the singing is too pop

Overrated. Her voice doesn't sit quite right with me. The horns also don't feel real? It's not free enough imo. I bet this album would be better if it was recorded with a live setup instead of a studio.

It's perfectly done but I don't really care about it. I don't know why. Spot on reproduction of retro r&b soul with some reggae sprinkled in. The influences are plain but not too derivative, and it all sounds great. The tunes are solid. Confident as hell vocals (did Amy open the door for all the jazzy affected female singers in the late 2000s?). Must be current (mind)set and setting. They try to make me like this album but I say C+

Not in the mood for this right now.

Rehab is a great song. The rest of the album is solid. My first time listening to this one. Like to hear more. 2/5 for now. Promising though.

Mun makuun yliarvostettu levy. Miljoona kärpästä ja silleen kait…?

A very strong start, but deteriorates after the first three songs. Her voice is too reedy for my tastes, lacking depth and variation. By the end of the album the music is distinctly average, slightly better than filler, but nothing special or that will stick in the mind.

Drugs bad, some bangers but meh overall

Općenito jako talentirana pjevačica, sa dosta poznatim hitovima na ovom albumu, a ovo mi je prvi susret sa albumom. Dosta kratak album, al pošto meni baš ne sjeda toliko album, onda je i okej. Nisam nikad imao neku posebnu želju se slušati ali evo sad jesam i mogu reći da Tears Dry on their Own je najbolja sa albuma. Ostatak je okej, ali osim onako hitova ništa mi ne iskače, ne iskazuje da si ponovno puštam. Možda sam sada okrutan za ocijenu, ali nije to album baš za mene, ali to ne znači da nije kvalitetan.

The vocals are very strong and expressive, the songs are catchy, and the music is competent. But there's something I've never been able to stand about her music. Her voice grates on me, and the style feels like a boring pastiche of soul and vocal jazz, when I'd infinitely rather go back and listen to Billie Holiday or something. 2/5

A couple of decent songs, but even those are songs I’m already sick of listening to. Good voice, but not for me

Kolejny albumik z nowozytnej ery popularnej muzyki, bo rok 2007, ale bym razem o wiele popularniej niz w przypadku wspolczesnej kosmologii, bo to przeciez back to black najpopularniejszy album, no i jeden z dwoch, w dorobku tworczosci amy winehouse, dodatkowo album mial swoje dwa zycia, drugie oczywiscie zawdziecza tragicznej smierci artystki przez zapicie sie na smierc, co jest wyczynem majac do wyboru tyle innych bardziej potentnych substancji, co do fenomenu tej plyty, lamanej przez artystki, to pozostanie on chyba na zawsze dla mnie zagadka, bo wczesniej znalem pojedyncze traki, katowane w 2k11 do 2k12 na mtv i innych programach muzykowych, ale po przesluchaniu calego krazka nie potrafie zrozumiec tak wysokiej pozycji na jakiej amy jest stawiana jako wokalistka, czy teksciarka, chociaz musze przyznac, ze posiada ona jedna z najwaznijszych, jak dla mnie, cech ktore powinny charakteryzowac artyste, czyli ekspresywnosc tworzonej tresci, bo zarowno wokal, jak i same teksty wskazuja na autobiograficzne podejscie do pisania, niestety cierpki na tym tematyka, bo jak by nie inaczej, jest to album o milosci, smuteczkach milosnych, gorzkich zalach, zdradach, kolejna czesc rowniez skupiajaca sie na przezyciach amyowych, to problemy z naduzyciami alkoholowymi, jak dla mnie trak najbardziej rozpoznawalny w jej wykonaniu, otwierajacy plyte, czyli rehab, cala plyta jest utrzymana w klimatach soula do kontemplentowania, czyli skupiajacego sie na tekstowym kontencie, co wyroznia go z posrod miliona innych podobnych plyt jest wykorzystanie chorkowania rodem z lat 50, 60 calkowicie zenskich, co dziwne druga plyta, bo spotifaj zaproponowal deluxa edyszyn jest czyms calkowicie innym, opanowuja ja reggowe klimaty i istne jamowanie, slychac ze nie byla to czesc troche innego konceptu, ale jednak wrzuce na plejke monkey mana z tamtego diska, do tego rehabik, jestem ciekaw jaka ocene bedzie tutaj mial w srednich, bo jednak jest to cos mocno popularnego dla typowego muzyk fana, ktory tutaj klika oceny, dodatkowo bardzo influencyjna plyta, zrobila ponownie mode na spiewanie o swoich problemach, wiec renesans soulowy w muzyce popularnej, ktory wystartowal kariere chocby adele, ale niestety do mnie nie trafila, choc jednoczesnie byla sluchalna, wiec 5 na skali 10 by bylo, ale tutejszcze gwiazdki pozwalaja tylko na dwojke

Never understood the fuss about this artist, a fair voice but not great

I don't know what it is, but I just can't get into Amy Winehouse. I think it's the vocal style. Nothing in it sounds "bad", but IDK. I would like it better with a different vocalist. Instrumentation is fine.

Not bad, but not my cup of tea. Amy has a great voice, but the songs aren't all that "catchy".

Too many trumpets Like Christmas music without the joy Perfect length No business being on any top lists Super forgettable background music No standout songs, they're all the same

It was fine but it doesn't really do anything for me. Indie girl voice is not my cup of tea, either.

no thoughts, head empty

Honestly this album was super dull, I don't understand the appeal

Pretty disappointed tbh. The album was just kinda boring

I don't like Amy Winehouse or the style she sings (I think it's something to do with a "UK sound"), so thank fuck this is only 35min. Gotta give her points for being a big pop singer but not bringing in outside writers, though. 2.5/5 if I could - not sure if I'll give it a 2 or 3.

I've always found her affected American singing voice deeply jarring, to the extent that it sounds like pastiche. I can acknowledge that this a well produced album but I won't be listening to this again.

It’s not at the bottom of the 1 stars and it’s an ok listen but not something I would listen to

You are properly joking RGP, this was new to me and a horrible listen, better TBF than Nine Inch Nails say but not by much and that’s a very very low bar to get under. One star. Tom.

respect and all that, but still...just not for me.

Well... it's better than 'Frank'... but to be frank, I still pretty much hated it... guess I'll just have to be in the minority here... Oh, and my OCD REALLY hates the directionally inconsistent projection of those 3D letters on the album cover... I mean, that "S" alone gives me palpitations...

Amy Winehouse? More like Amy WineMom amiright? Clearly the poppiest album we've had yet. The mixing is way blown out, the percussion was all over the place. I can't imagine listening to this higher than 1/4 volume. The description in YT (probably pulled from wikipedia) says this drew inspiration from soul and pop from the 60s (which was fairly obvious) but is worse in almost every way. The last two tracks were maybe the least offensively mixed? The backing vocals were a nice change of pace. Weed song (EPIC!!!!). Favorite(s): He can only hold her Least: Rehab 1/5

I don't know how you can make the lyrics non repetitive yet feel the as if it's the most repetitive music I've ever listened to. I couldn't even get through one song without wanting to punch a wall. I can see why people would like it but I sure as heck don't.

This is like ordering champagne and getting Miller High Life instead.

Yuck I dont like this at all

Nothing better than OK. I don’t suffer from nostalgia, so the fake and worse Spector/Motown knockoff production does nothing for me.

Nope, don‘t get it.

мне просто не заходит, пытаюсь слушать каждую песню хотя бы до половины, дальше меня не хватает, хочется выключить. не уверена, что мне нравится голос певицы, вроде бы он интересный, яркий, но как то бьет по ушам. очень высокие рейтинги, возможно я чего-то не понимаю, но ничего стоящего не услышала в этом альбоме 1/5

her voice is not appealing to me

rehab is pretty fire, just very repetitive. you know i’m no good is also very good, i like this me and mr jones is hot ass, if this is your favorite song then you have no taste in music i’m not listening to the rest of the album, is so shit

Not a fan, never got the hype.

Not for me

No

I just never got the appeal of Amy Winehouse. I don't enjoy her voice, although I can hear its skill I guess. I find the music icky and the circus that surrounded her (and still does in a different way) even worse.

Rex

Jää kyllä tämä viini sinne kyykkyhyllylle, enkä osta edes pahimmissa viinihimoissa. Todella pitkästyttävä albumi ja kappaleista puuttu potku. Levyn biisit muutenkin todella hiljaisella vaikka oli tietsikan äänet täysillä ja spottarin äänet melkeen täysillä. JA SITTEN TULEE VIIMEINEN BIISI, missä äänet on 40% kovemmalla kuin muissa, niin jäi kyllä todella paska maku koko tekeleestä. Amyn ääni hyvä, mutta ei yksi hyvä instrumentti pelasta tätä.

An unbelievably overrated artist and album. A couple of decent songs and headlines that wanted everyone to believe this is the second coming of Aretha Franklin (you know, a white brittish woman). I just dont get the hype. But thats just like, my opinion, man.

Ei oikein iskenyt, 1,5/5

This is corporate swill.

Awful. I like her type of music, but her voice is so irritating.

I don't know why, but Amy's music puts me in the worst mood.

Unique voice and great production but it doesn't grab you as it should. Will need to relisten to this in the future but at the moment I didn't rate it

Нет.

Har hørt litt i den perioden denne var populær, ikke helt min stil. Synes det er bakgrunnsmusikk i klesbutikk-musikk

Amy Winehouse does not hit my taste at all.

Uh no, I would rather listen to a black person instead. I did listen to the album fully though, and it's just not my style. There were 0 songs that I liked from the album. Yes, even the most popular songs.

She is a very good singer. Lowest female voice type so unique Edit Mar 17 2026: 3 --> 1. I like jazz much more now, but not these pop vocals

Not my thing

Never listened to her music before, and the only real exposure I had to her music is the Richard Cheese cover of Back to Rehab. I like his version much better. I find it hard to relate to a junkie that just needs drugs to survive... albeit not for long.

Terrible album with only people who lie to their boyfriend that they never liked and never wanted to go out with listen to

Liked song Back to Black

Unique voice. Unique individual. Sorry she was so troubled. May have been a big star.

No va

Not interested

RNB and hip-hop are two of my least favorite genres, combining them definitely doesn't make it any better. Plus her voice is very annoying.

The least amount of money I would accept to listen to this album again is $1,000. It's that's bad.

Mega saai

Stage school kid sings soul. Not much to see here. Not sure why the world went crazy about her. Dap Kings records are much better.

nope

Yeah, but no thanks.

Bin gelangweilt von diesem Retro-Radio-Pop und TV Reklame hat mir einen der Hits versaut. Hrmpf 1.3

A horrible week for albums and two 50's themed efforts in a row. Maybe an unfair reflection but I have to go with my gut.

Seems to have had a good voice I don't like the singing style the album sounds distorted on the first 2 songs at least - ( Tidal Master quality ) - so it was doomed from the getgo

I liked the music more than her vocals.

fuck that bullshit

Such a classic. Love it

No thanks

Skipped it

Good album, featured songs: Rehab, You Know Im no good, Just Friends, Back To Black, He Can Only Hold Her.
