Back To Black

Wow, I did not expect to enjoy this as much I did. Really great album.

Rehab most devastating song in the world that i consistently hear on popular radio actually. I. Have never listened to this. Can't believe I didn't own it at the time tbh. Title track one of the absolute greats. In fact btb into love is a losing game into tears dry on their own? Jesus christ is king. I'll say it's suffering the same effect as American idiot in that knowing too many songs as singles is making the album feel disjointed. Couple of the smaller quieter songs feel kinda meh. Maybe that's a time thing. Builds to the end again tho. Addicted is very good. Thing is of course that the Big moments are so astounding that the songs I'm less into just served to make you say. Damn. This is some potential. I can't wait to hear what she does next.

Back to Black was the second and final studio album from Amy Winehouse, the British soul singer who died very young due to issues related to alcohol abuse. She recorded in a style reminiscent of 60s soul and R&B singers, and prompted a resurgence in British soul in the aughts and 2010s. The album won five Grammy awards, including Pop Album, Best New Artist, Record of the Year, and Song of the Year for "Rehab." (won a production Grammy, as well). This is a great album, highlighting Winehouse's incredible voice. Her songs were inspired by a broken relationship, and earned Winehouse praise for her songwriting. The album is mythologized, in a way, for her tragically short life, and the dark irony of her hit song, "Rehab."

Нет.

9/10

A number of artists over the years had tried to authentically recapture the sound of 1960s Spector (Phil and Ronnie) pop sound and Motown soul, but no one had managed to do a convincing job of it until Salaam Remi and Mick Ronson produced this Amy Winehouse album. Not an original sound, but wow the performances and production are phenomenal. I think it is fair to say that without this album, we might not have gotten the genius that is Adele six years later who would take this sound and really move it forward into new territory.

Great, but just overplayed now. Very Mark Ronson.

Oh, Amy. I knew this one would show up. This album has strongly resonated with me since its debut. Her struggles, her strides, and her soul all bared throughout. My mother raised me on Soul and Motown music and when this record came out, I was immediately transported back to my youth and reminded of how much I love this style; Amy only further emphasized that. She captivates with her distinct voice, lyrics, and composition. She captures a variety of emotions - those that uplift us and make our feet move, to those that make us somber and reflective on our lives and lives of others we know. She carries essences of Billie Holiday, Marvin Gaye, and Diana Ross, among others, but she is and always will be Amy Winehouse. I never knew her personally, but I miss her dearly. Love you, Amy! Favorites: All of them, but "Wake Up Alone" and "Back to Black" really hit home for me.

I still love this album almost 20 years later. The album is a "no skips" album until the last two or three songs. I enjoy them, but I think Wake Up Alone would have been a good closer.

I loved the album. Fantastic voice! Soulful, passionate! My favorite one was Back to Black.

Weet je, ik weet het wel met Amy Winehouse. Best een aardige zangeres, maar krijg dit al 20 jaar door m'n strot gedrukt alsof het iets unieks is, meestal door mensen die nooit muziek van voor de jaren 90 luisteren. Fotorealistische soulmuziek. Niet iets om je heel druk over te maken.

so good. RIP

3.8

De drums op dit album zijn fenomenaal. Gewoon altijd een goed album, en kort genoeg om niet saai te worden.

Goeie stem, goeie muziek

Musical highlight and simultaneous decline in the life of AmyWinehouse...at least as far as I can tell. She wasn't prepared for this success and ended up with the wrong people. The album is great...lots of influences from the 60s, soul, some chanson and then of course her remarkable voice. It's not really that good for me...but it's concise. The basic tendency of the album is a bit too sad for me. But it is a total work of art. It's right from front to back.

Great album. Bluesy with unapologetic lyrics. Completely tragic in hindsight. Gone way too soon.

Masterpiece of course

Rehab You Know I'm No Good Back to Black Love Is a Losing Game Tears Dry on Their Own

One of my favourites. I think my favourite one of hers 10/10

My lucky week getting to listen to two Amy Winehouse albums.

High quality music. Easy to see why she was an instant star and such a tragic loss.

banger after banger agfter banger after banger after banger after banger bad bitch fr

A low 4 but enjoyed this more than I expected, if more for her band then her voice or subject material!

Solid album, she has a great voice. It all sounds good. My only criticism was that it was crazily over played when it came out so it used to grate on me a bit... ...also I couldn't really give a crap about her drug habit or how crappy her boyfriends were, and that's all you ever heard about at the time but that's just cos our press are useless. But again it made me not want to like her music. But I should. Cos it's good.

Not for me, but not as bad as I thought it was going to be

Classic

One of the best albums of the 2000s and possibly the best jazz/rock fusion since Steely Dan. Frankly, it's better than Steely Dan because of the rich helping of Stax soul. We were all lucky to have Amy, if only for a short time.

Although I don't like Rehab that much, the rest of the album is pretty much all bangers. Me And Mr. Jones, Love Is A Losing Game and Back To Black are some of my all time favorite songs and this album just all around rules

It's a damn shame. This album is great and it feels like she was just getting started.

5 e segue o jogo

Fantastic fantastic a pure classic. Her voice choice of songs is a masterpiece that she unfortunately did not have long live to see what it has become.

Disco fantástico. Não tem muito o que dizer. É inovador? Não... na verdade é derivativo em larga medida. Mas não ligo. A voz dela é uma das minhas favoritas, poderia ouvir pra sempre. Nunca cansa. A produção "nostalgica" me agrada bastante também, queria que essa pira tivesse durado mais na indústria pop. Toda essa pegada '60s. O único defeito desse disco ao meu ver é a faixa final, acho que acaba melando um pouco o fim do álbum, mas nada demais. 4.5/5

The 27 Club really is the biggest "what if?" in recent music history. This is essentially a 1960s Soul Rock album that travelled through a time machine, and was released in 2006. Favorite Track: "Rehab".

Like the soundtrack to a James Bond film I don't really want to see. She's got a fine fine voice and this is highly polished effort - but it leaves me a bit cold.

She has an amazing voice, lyrically it isn't that captivating but she has definite talent

When Amy Winehouse’s Frank came up for me to review, I was less than excited. I’d carried a distaste for her for, mostly because I associated her music with people I didn’t like. However, I really enjoyed Frank, and my opinion on Amy has shifted drastically since then. I’m heading into this album with high expectations, and I’m excited to see if Back to Black can top Frank! Back to Black didn’t top Frank, but it came pretty damn close. In my opinion, Back to Black is a stronger album as a whole work, but I enjoyed more of the individual songs on Frank. Back to Black is a great soul album, with plenty of pop sensibilities to craft an enjoyable and accessible sound. The production work and songwriting are both great. The sound is polished and classy, but the lyrics are clever, raw, and occasionally crass, creating a contrast that’s quite fun. “Rehab” was probably the song that kickstarted my dislike for Amy Winehouse’s music, but it’s a great song. Every musical element is fantastic; the backing vocals, the bells, the horns, and the bass are all perfect together. Amy’s defiant attitude on this leadoff track is incredibly cheeky and fun. “Back to Black” is fantastic too. I love how the song fades down and then comes back. The strings arrangement is great, and I loved hearing more bells on this song too. “Tears Dry On Their Own” made great use of its sampling of “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough,” putting a modern spin on a classic melody. “He Can Only Hold Her” was great too, and I loved its laidback and smooth sound. My only complaint with this album is that it’s a lot of the same things I heard on Frank. Listening to both of Amy’s albums is like going to Disneyland twice in the span of year. Yes, it’s a great place to visit, but if there’s been no updates or additions to the park in that time, are you making new memories or just revisiting the old ones? Still, this is a really good album, and I’m happy that my views on Amy Winehouse’s music have been reversed.

I totally get the hype. Strong vocal presence, unique song subjects, and an unreal propensity to convey raw, bitter emotions. “Rehab” is the classic we all know and love, but “Just Friends” is probably my pick of the lot on this record - the reggae / rocksteady influence goes off without a hitch. Also can’t sleep on the following track, “Some Unholy War”. Listening to this makes me feel like Amy Winehouse paved a path for strong female vocalists to come, namely Lana Del Rey & Adele. I went in with high expectations and still came away impressed in many ways

If I had seen this live I probably would have loved it. I know she was a standout musician, not just a well marketed one-hitter or whatever. But somehow it sounds a bit sterile to me on this record! This should not be!

Perfect album for women with daddy issues

Good amount of versatility in this. Decent voice. at times feels like a soulless impression of genres rather than a genuine attempt. but it is cool that it goes from like bluesy soul to ska-ish. lyrics are meaningful. i mean if youre talking records about a breakup, this is infinitely more personal and ambitious musically than someone like T swift or olivia rodrigo.

First album from the list that I got to spin from my collection which is a bonus. Great album which is a solid 4 from me. BUT watching my beautiful girl singing and dancing around the kitchen with her glass of wine (and insisting that it was definately a 5) bumps it to a 5. 8.5/10

It’s just excellent throughout.

Love

Excellent on vinyl. Very consistent all through the album. Amy's voice is a throw back dream. The pace was great for me; not super slow.

4/10

It was fine, not really my type of music.

I have this album

i can't bring myself to listen to her music, not because i don't necesarily like it, i don't know how to explain..., gonna give 3 stars for neutral

Sounds way older than it is (and that's on purpose)

Every track on this album is solid for me, but it's missing something that would bring it up to a 5/5. I think I'd also move "Love is a Losing Game" to the end since it caps off the toxic relationship with men/alcohol story nicely.

There is so much emotion, so much soul in this album. You can feel her anguish, anger and a sort of hope through her vocals. Amazing vocal performance and instruments alongside. Favourite Track(s): Love Is A Losing Game Least Favourite Track(s): Just Friends

She had a great voice and could’ve sung the football results and it would still be an hit

Amy has an amazing, unique voice that has so much soul to it. You don’t often hear such soul from British singers, at least until Amy came along and sprang a slew of copycats in the US and UK. The influence that this album had on the next decade plus of pop/rnb/neo-soul female acts is astonishing, and actually kind of annoying. I like Amy and her sound, I even enjoy a fair share of her impersonators, but the sheer volume of people who clearly don’t have their own sound and/or style that do what became almost a caricature of AW is just too much. From that alone, this album deserves to be on this list. It is a historical marker for where a particular singing style came from (even though hers is a evolution of many rnb singers from the 50s-70s). Production on this album is really strong as well. The beats and rhythms are all catchy but not so pop that they lose their appeal after a few listens. Ive listened to listen album dozens of times and hear songs from it quite often, even still in 2025, in bars, restaurants, etc. and it still as enjoyable as it was almost 20 years ago. 7.5/10 #50/1001

feels like going through the worst target shopping experience of your life

Pure masterpiece

What a great week of albums this has been!

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

10/10

A decent album from a pretty damn good singer.

Classic

All time great

a voz da amy winehouse é top 10 melhores vozes da história da música e back to black é uma das músicas mais influentes da década. faz falta a querida...

Tempted to go 4 here but the combination of jazz music and her fantastic voice really bring the songs alive! More than understandable why she became such an icon despite having such a small repertoire

I like some songs, but not the production combo with her voice. 2.

Love this album.

first listen to this album in my life. It definitely has some very strong tunes on it. It does get a little repetitive at times.

Throwback jams.

One of the best of all time

Been awhile since I've heard it, great album still holds up.

Such vulnerable and raw songwriting. 5/5 no notes Fave song: Love is a Losing Game

One of the best songwriters of our generation - so vulnerable and raw. 5/5 no notes Fave song - Love is a Losing Game

c: you know i’m no good h: back to black

Never listened to Amy before but really liked this. Will be exploring more of her stuff

The voice/vocals have a little pitch and dynamic range, but adequate control, which makes this album soulful. Can't decide if a few songs are misses (question is the album relistenable?) or the album features a lot of good songs (question should I only relisten thoses?). I'll give it four stars going with the first option for now.

The production and the arrangement is the standout. The whole album works much better on the up tempo tracks.

Unique r&b pop sound. Some classic songs/lines, solid album

Amy was such a beautiful soul! Gone way too soon. There is not a voice like hers. A true classic. Very easy 5 for me.

3.25/5 enjoyed the vocals more than I expected, smooth album

There's a reason why Back To Black has endured as an album, especially compared to the other neo-soul / retro-soul albums that popped up in its wake, and a lot of that is down to Amy. A great voice sure, but also able to imbue these songs with an authenticity and emotionality that I think allows her to stand alongside the greats she's inspired by.

So but good 7.5/10

Amy Winehouse does not hit my taste at all.

pleasantly surprised

Amazing voice - brillant music - a Milestone

Pretty perfect. I don't see anything wrong with emulating the sounds of the 50s and 60s, if that's the music you love. Amy was a gifted songwriter, musically, and, to my mind, her lyrics are timeless, yet also position the songs firmly in the modern era: the trials, temptations and flaws of a 21st century London girl, expressed with authenticity and humour. Credit to the producers on the album for letting her tell her stories relatively simply. I just wish the album didn't make me so sad, at the fact that she died so young. At least she'd been much-lauded in her lifetime.

It's bloody marvelous is what it is

I assumed I had heard more of her songs and just not realized it, but nope. Only song on this album I recognized was Rehab. I can see the potential of this being something I might like more with my love as of late of anything from Daptone, but this isn't quite up there for me.

Very familiar with thus album and a pleasure to listen to.

Like da ikkje så godt

It was alright, nothing special.. not adding it to my playlists

MY QUEENNNN!!!! hit after hit after hit, the very definition of a five star album!!! One of the artists i would give a lot to follow the rest of their career. gone too soon, im sure she would've gone on to do many more amazing stuff, rest well Amy:(

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.

Hooray finally another Album that I got on vinyl. Great Songs, Great Voice, Great Music. Too bad she said no to rehab but at least her daddy thought she was fine.

Exceptional album top to bottom. Incredible songs, great vocals, musically interesting. The first bars of "Rehab" immediately pull you in and then its banger after banger. Great.

The tragedy of so short a recording career and a lack of material is encapsulated in this, her best release.

Back to Black is one of the best songs of the century

Very soulful singer. I thought the record sounded vintage without any modernity. I was expecting more. Sounded like she was simply trying to recreate a Motown album.

Liked Rehab, Back to Black and Addicted. Other songs didn't really leave a mark.

It’s a high 4 or a low 5… rounding up.

Great album, love the songs and production. It’s very compressed and loud compared to more natural sounding recordings. The only thing keeping it from 5 stars

Ja, tuurlijk is dit bekend, maar het is ook retegoed gedaan. Een warm retrogeluid voor een eigenwijze dame. Ik verwachtte nog dat er wel wat covers bij zouden zitten, maar nee, allemaal eigen werk. Blazers, achtergrondzangeressen, fluitje hier, buisklokken daar, de juiste microfoons en productie en je krijgt is een lekkere stijloefening in jaren zestig-klanken, beter dan het origineel. Dikke hits, lekkere vibe en jammer dat ze dood is.

Ik sla op verzoek van de klusmaatjes een album over en het volgende album raak ik zelf op de helft wel zat. Komen we weer bij mooie klusmuziek. Amy Winehouse. De stem heb ik al aangehaald op het eerdere album. Op dat album miste ik de hits. Dit wordt hier weer goed gemaakt. Gelukkig maar, want daar moet dit album het wel van hebben. Pop met een ziel, mede door invloed van oudere muziekstijlen.

De Engelse Caro Emerald. Alleen heb ik aan Caro Emerald een gruwelijke hekel (qua muziek dan), vanwege die hang naar nostalgische muziek waarbij ze een stel oorwurmen heeft gebundeld tot een album. Ik kan dat niet aanhoren. Amy doet een beetje hetzelfde soort trucje, door een nostalgisch jaren 20 sausje over moderne muziek heen te gieten. Alleen dit kan ik op een of andere manier veel beter hebben. Terwijl ze dus ook van die maniertjes heeft, zoals net na de tel pas beginnen met zingen. De beats en de productie zijn wel een stuk beter. Misschien als dit ook helemaal grijsgedraaid was geweest, het ook mijn strot uit zou komen hoor, maar voor nu vind ik het wel weer grappig om te luisteren. Al zijn de opvullertje op het album ook echt duidelijk opvullertjes. Prima album, dat wellicht wat minder iconisch was geweest als Amy zich niet naar de klote had geholpen en lid van de tragische 27-club was geworden. Maar dat heeft ze dus wel gedaan. We waarderen dit met 4 sterretjes.

5/5

Fantastic

Winehouse has this deep distinctive voice that sounds quite unique for an album from this millennium. The album contains more simplified instrumental accompaniment and gives more of the impression of listening to a lounge singer than a produced album, which is a good thing here. It comes across as refreshingly honest compared to the all too prevalent over processed vocals from many other singers. Definitely worth a listen.

Brilliant, soulful, and ultimately sad. I could listen to this a thousand times.

Don't listen to it often, but it's good, with some really really good tracks scattered around. 4

Amazing

What an incredible voice, gone too soon

What kind of fuckery is this? The best kind!!

Maybe someone sees something great here, but I think it's just a good music. 4/5

This album makes me long for a very different time. A bittersweet romp through a variety of musical inspirations, but one distinct voice - Amy packs a lot into 34 twistedly sensual minutes. Favourite tracks: You Know I'm No Good, Back To Black, Wake Up Alone

Love so many bangers n even the non bangers add so much to album

Probs a 9/10 and felt only fair to round up for our Amy as this is a p impeccable album start to fini

it’s alright

Short, tight, soulful. 4/5

Enjoyed this much more than I expected. I had heard a couple of the tracks numerous times before but never really listened properly. Good instrumentals, production and vocals. Good album.

i love it

You sometimes forget or take for granted certain songs and how good they actually are because you have heard them to death. Rehab was one, whilst never my favourite track, listening after a few years without hearing it on the radio makes it sound fresh again and an amazing start to the album. Me and Mr Jones is superb but the album really hits a heartbreaking high with Back to Black. Tears Dry on Their Own is incredible. A great listen on a grey, damp Tuesday morning after the Easter break.

Rating: 3.5\5 | Favorite Track: Back To Black --- First time actually listening to Amy Winehouse and I did have quite a lot of fun with this album. I didn't absolutely love it, but there were a few standout tracks that blew me away with the production quality, layers of sound, and excellent vocal performance.

She'll go far this girl I reckon, can't wait for the next album. Mid 5.

Good album, Rehab is the standout track.

Fave

She's a legend but this soft jazz doesn't especially do it for me

RIP. What a start we lost early. Unfortunate. Great fucking album though. Not sure if we were ready for this when it was released and she blew up.

Back To Black is a seminal period album. This project solidified Mark Ronson’s reputation as a producer and catapulted his career of helping artists get into the modern classic groove. It’s a sad study, one of the last “troubled artist” arcs. We watched this one overlayed with modern times and technology. Everyone knew the end and it happened anyway. Relationships are hard and some people feel every part deeply. This is what it sounds like on wax.

4/18/2025: She had pipes. Good album, not my vibe.

No thanks

Amazing front to back.

A lot of great songs on this album. A bunch that weren't so great either, and the subject matter doesn't really change much. Insane voice and talent obviously.

Amy Winehouse's voice is the type that would usually turn me off, but I love her. I was young when she released this album, but not so young I couldn't appreciate it. I absolutely love Back to Black (the song) - I think it's one of the top songs I've ever heard. It was lovely to listen to the whole album again instead of one or two tracks.

force of nature

Eh, its aight. Didn't really do anything to me.

Great album, beautiful voice RIP Amy, forever 27

Overall, Back to Black by Amy Winehouse was very boring. All the songs sounded very similar and had the same type of lyrics. The best song on the album in my opinion was ‘Tears Dry On Their Own’.

Epic epic album obviously

Mum music - okayy

Das erste Album, das ich schon vorher kannt und auch echt mag. Sehr viele Banger dabei und alle Lieder sind mindestens gut!

A great album

Very beautiful.

What a voice. Makes you sad to think about what might have been. Love Is A Losing Game is worth five stars by itself.

Great album, never knew what a great R&B vocalist she was..

Tears Dry On Their Own with the Aint No Mountain High Enough backing is nice and new to my ears. Unless I'm mixing that up with some other sort of jingle.

not an Am fan. great pop record but not my bag, baby

A masterpiece

I'm not as into Amy Winehouse as a lot of people seem to be, but I can recognize her obvious talent.

Very similar to adeles albums. Laiona says both are sad but this one actually feels sad, which I can agree with in the vocals. I liked it but I can't say I liked all the songs so much to call this a masterpiece.

I really want to like Amy a lot. She had an amazing voice, but I just can't click with the songs the way that others do. Still very much worthy of this list

An album of incredible songs, built up from retro parts but possessing a sound that was unique and urgent and still sounds fresh and important 20 years on. Lyrics that were at first titillating have become poignant in the context of her artist - celebrity - dead star arc. She was such a true musician. The greed that flew in around her talent has robbed us of so much.

Strong album I see where the hype comes from. It's good music that makes you want to get up and dance. I will say some of the music is repetitive but still enjoyable. 7.1/10

4.5

An amazing talent! 5/5

Difficult to rate this objectively: 1. The vinyl pressing of this is very noticeably compressed 2. The songs are so familiar that it both gives them a sense of comfort but also not particularly intriguing. Trying to get past both of these facts, it’s easy to see why this was such a monster hit at the time, and why it has aged so well. Some truly great songs on this. Sometimes the production feels a shade pastiche, but not enough to deter from how good the song is.

It's a fun throwback sound, but it's a lot of hit and miss for me. I'm not a big fan of Rehab, so I expected to not like this, but by the middle of the album it was working well. The momentum couldn't hold, though, and I found the ending a bit weak.

4.25

So classic and nostalgic. The hits are just so good. Makes me happy this music was as mainstream as it was.

Some obvious all-time bangers on here. Great production throughout. Her voice is her voice and hers alone. Like it or not, she was without a doubt the defining and most unique singer of her generation. Side 2 is considerably less impressive in terms of songcraft. Even at only 34 minutes, I was kind of waiting for it to end after a certain point. Very strong 3.5

I never really listened to this album outside of Rehab and Back to Black, it really is a great listen.

Płyta niemalże idealna. Słuchałam jej już tyle razy, a nadal chętnie wracam. Ból w głosie, kompozycje, teksty. Jest w tym wszystkim coś szczerego i przenikającego. Och, Amy jaka szkoda, że już cię nie ma. 9.5/10

Shameful I hadn't listened to this yet. Amy's voice is beautiful and iconic, but personally I don't mess with jazz that much. Most of the songs aren't dynamic enough to interest me. Still, the instrumentals and production are great on their own.

It’s hard not to be overwhelmed by the depth of the loss, of losing Amy Winehouse at just 27 years old. An utterly unique voice coupled with her peerless tribute and updating of ‘60’s style. Some of these songs, like the title song, sound like classics that have always been here. I wish we had more of her.

Probably should have gone to rehab. At least this is music.

truly timeless

Great pipes, can't wait to see what she's up to in 2025

A true gem of music. Combines old influences yet manages to give them a fresh spin. Beautiful voice, powerful lyrics and great use of backup vocals (don't see this too often). This album truly has no weak links and has several masterpieces. I can't rate it any lower than 4.7

I know of Amy Winehouse, of course, but have never gotten around to listening to her, for some reason. I don't know what I was expecting but this definitely wasn't it. While every song is generally soul or R&B, they're all so incredibly different. She was incredible talented and versatile. "Rehab" is a sad song, considering how she supposedly died but well-written and well-sung, nonetheless. "Just Friends" has almost a reggae groove with the drums/horns/bass. "Back to Black" is a throwback to the 1960s girl groups that clearly influenced Winehouse. "Love Is a Losing Game" is beautiful. "Tears Dry On Their Own" allows her to show off the accuracy of her voice in a faster pace and just straight grooves the whole time. This song feels like it was ripped straight from the 60s, which makes sense considering the sample of "Ain't No Mountain High Enough". I will for sure be listening to this album and other Amy Winehouse more. This is incredible. R.I.P.

Listened to this relatively recently. Absolutely worthy of the 1001 title. Just packed full of excellent songs

Cracking album, packs a punch in it 35 mins. 3 massive songs and rest holds its own

Great album. She shoulda gone to rehab.

Absolute class. I think she has one of the greatest voices of all time and is a genius of a songwriter. Perfect in every way. Possibly one of the best albums of all time.

...

Artiste connue, j'ai joué (et apprécié) quelques morceaux de cet album (Rehab, Back to Black). C'est la première fois que j'écoute un album entier. J'ai reconnu You Know I'm No Good, j'ignorais que ce morceau était de AW. J'ai été surpris par "Tears Dry on Their Own", mais je préfère nettement l'original "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" à cette pale copie. Est-ce que j'aurais envie d'écouter cet album de nouveau ? A priori non, les autres morceaux ne m'ont pas vraiment marqués. =>2/5

Beautiful, soulful, nothing but bangers. Amy has such an incredible, one of a kind voice, and the production on each track is pristine. I sadly never listened to her music while she was alive, and here I am wishing she was still here today.

Over-rated

2/10 5/10 4/10 5/10 8/10 4/10 4/10 4/10 5/10 4/10 4/10 Total score: 49/11/2 ‎ = 2.227 Stars: 2.2

Great! There is something so sad and soothing in her voice. Will definitely listen again. This is jazz everyone can love.

Gone too soon. Great voice.

Nothing but gold

Pretty good. Added a few songs to my rotation

Great album standout songs: Love is a losing game Tears dry on their own

decently pleasant and consistent album but track 7 just reminds me i would much rather listen to Ain't No Mountain High Enough than any individual song from this Rehab and Back To Black are nice, there's just nothing that satisfying here everyone seems to love this though, i guess i really don't understand the hype, i feel like i would get much more joy listening to most of the music from 4 decades earlier that inspired it

What that one guy said about this being nostalgia bait really resonated with me. She's a tragic hero to people who own 5 albums. Otherwise I have few opinions, I've never worn a bandana so am not the target audience. .

Modern classic, tortured soul music

Real

One of the best albums ever, just absolute perfection.

Mycket bättre än vad jag trodde, fortfarande dock för kopplat till radioskit. Hur man gör till rösten liksom

My first 5 from the 00s that wasn't one of my teenage albums. You know I'm no good and tears dry on their own stand out but this is top class throughout

Can't help myself. I love this album.

Skapligt, det är något med rösten som inte är för mig, men generellt ett hyfsat bra album

Wow I had the wrong impression of Amy Winehouse. I never really heard any of her music, I only knew girls who were obsessed with her and let’s just say those women are not the most endearing representation of Winehouse. Based off my wrong impressions I kinda thought she was a low effort, low talent, singer who manifested a specific image cause I thought it was just an image. But I was clearly wrong, she is wildly talented. Her voice is incredible and she clearly likes to show some range cause there’s a shocking amount of variety in this album. It’s almost a perfect album, I do feel there’s a few skips on this album so it can’t be 5 but this album is as close as you can get to perfect album.

Some gems. But didnt find any particular song i loved. Amy winehouse has a unique voice

I like this album far more than her first album. I love the Motown sound, and this version of it really grew on me by the end. I'm sure this album would grow on me if I gave it more listens. I found myself severely rocking out (nodding my head at my computer) to He Can Only Hold Her.

Fantastic vocalist plus some great production, doesn't overstay welcome at 34 minutes.. this was a good one I hadn't listened to in awhile.

A bit narcoleptic and theatrical, but there are too many good songs here to simply launch the album into the endless sea of three-star albums.

I don't get it. Sometimes she's pretty decent, other times Winehouse does this kind of boring blues thing.... I dunno. Not my table

Lost this beautiful soul too soon, fantastic album

Il superiore

Album da casalinga supremo

Beautiful front to back, with some sexy, fun, and often tragic songs, especially knowing what we know now. Amy was a true generational talent with the soul and pizazz of someone far older than her. One of the great albums of the 21st century.

One of the first albums I ever bought on vinyl. Every song is a hit and so filled with soul and thoughtful lyrics. Hard not to enjoy.

Ikävää, mutta en paljoa tästä albumista innostunut. Taustamusiikiksi passelia.

Okay, this was pretty good, will listen again 3.5/5

Super soulful pop album that sounds both very retro and modern. Love her voice and many many great tracks throughout. Favourite songs: Rehab, Back To Black, Love Is A Losing Game, He Can Only Hold Her

She is so good, so talented and kinda sad. Album rocks, with a few bangers and a couple of holes.

Love Amy, and this is her best. Poppy yet powerful soul with modern bases and an astonishing voice. Songs are great and part of my youth (although I didn't give a shit then). Amazing artist that always sets me a bit sad when thinking about her story and tragic ending.

classic. my childhood. i think of spring break in florida and trips to the grand canyon

This was better than expected, you can kind of hear that she's burning herself out in the lyrics of this album, sad that she deteriorated like she did. Overall a 3 in my book.

I love the vibe of this album. I love her voice. The songs are great. 4 stars.

Possibly one of the most compelling artists of all time

Overdone? Sure, maybe. Incredible? Absolutely. Best song: Back to Black

Wanted to dislike this album so much as I just never cared for her image or ethos Nice album. Good voice, good music, and she’s got swagger. If I’d heard this album not knowing who it was, and no preconceptions, I would have liked it without a doubt, glad I gave it a listen

Incredible album in every facet. Great songwriting, great arrangement, great structure. Never has there been a better album for people in situationships. Unrequited love has never felt so timelessly put into song. The vocals are obviously iconic. The instrumentation and production are everything they needed to be and more. The decision to use doo-wop style rhythms for songs about people in fucked up relationships is just a joy. The contrast between the beats and lyrics makes this album unforgettable. Love it from start to finish. So many bangers. Can’t get enough. 5/5

Honestly I enjoyed this more than expected. The blend of soul, r&b and pop with nods to 60s girl groups creates an intriguing and dynamic sound. I’ve added Back to Black and Me & Mr. Jones to my main playlist because they immediately caught my attention and are 10/10 for dramatically dancing around the house with or without a glass of wine. +1 for the line “what kind of fuckery is this” which caught me by surprise but instantly reached me on a spiritual level.

i love her voice so goddamn much. beautiful album <3

A few good ones, not my favorite singing but still has its moments

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

The title track I love it so much

Great vocals, lyrics on point—it really was a great album. 9.5 out of 10.

Solid but I never really got the hype about this middle of the road stuff.

One of the greats albums of all time

51/1001 - I listened to a "dynamic edit" by reddit user TopConcern because of the crazy clipping and weirdness going on in the original recording. (I realize it's intentional to sound like older Motown records, but I think there's a difference between using old equipment (sounds fine) and making things sorta sound like old equipment (sounds uncanny)). Not a huge fan of her voice (specifically the way she articulates vowels) but it fits the genre. Winehouse and the backing musicians have great rhythm and feel.

If this album had been made in the 60’s or even the 70’s I probably would give it four stars. I like this genre. But the fact that it was made in 2006 and is borrowing an older style bugs me. I acknowledge she had a good voice. I just prefer when artists try to move music forward, or somehow be original. Nothing about this ever felt new or original to me.

Solid album; not a bad song in the bunch. Enjoy Amy’s tone and phrasing. The Dap-Kings as back up band really made this album.

Back to Black song of all time

amys voice is good but I don’t like the sound of it personally. feels like a less exciting lady gaga

As a callow youth I though Back to Black, and in particular, Rehab, was callow. With the benefit of hindsight one can see what an absolute belter of this album is. One of the finest singers of her (my) generation mixing a classic genre with the experiences of mid-2000s UK.

Well, this one is my one and only in the Amy's work. It's the only album by this undoubtedly talented person that I can listen to from beginning to end.

This album is a masterpiece. It's so short, but every second of each track is meticulously crafted to describe the emotional rollercoaster of losing love, while also threading in a consistent undertone of addiction (to both the person, and alcohol). Each song is completely distinct and stands on it's own merits, but the track list is very cohesive in its overall sound. There will never be another album quite like this album, and it's a goddamn tragedy Amy didn't have the opportunity to continue to grow her talent. 5/5

Shoulda gone to rehab.

Great album, incredible vocals and has the feel of a classic rock diva album

Great voice, great band, great material.

The vocals are incredible, and the production is awesome.

Couple of bangers, otherwise solid.

This was enjoyable, thought the music might be a bit familiar and boring, but her voice and soul is nice

This was a toss up between 3 and 4. I went for 4 because some great songs on there and all the rest were nice and easy listening. Would play again

Some of the best post 2000 music. Back to Black is moving, raw and dark. Brining to life the struggles of a musician, whilst staying creatively dense. The soundpatterns of the record are some of the best of its time and the overal jazz feel of the record has been brought to life so well, Amy manages to pair sound with her lyrics and tone so well. Overall a very impressive piece of art. Favorite track: Tears dry on their own. Overall score: 9.0/10

Unreal production on this record. Her voice and lyrics are so great. Sad she's gone.

So many iconic songs I'd never known were Amy Winehouse. Not really my pop cup of tea though.

i'm not the biggest Amy fan, but there is no denying how extraordinarily talented she was

A pray of love, passion, liberty, loneliness. A fountain of emotions. Nothing in this album is lukewarm.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Very poignant in hindsight. Despite a few reservations about the fairly manufactured production, there's nothing manufactured about Amy herself. Undeniably strong album.

Amy Winehouse’s Back to Black seizes you from the opening bars with a raw, unapologetic blend of retro soul and modern despair, reimagining pop through vintage Motown grooves and deeply confessional lyrics that hit harder than your Monday morning coffee. With standout tracks like “You Know I’m No Good” and “Rehab,” the album channels the spirit of 1960s girl groups through a contemporary lens, delivering intimate diary-like confessions laced with defiant self-destruction. In a pop landscape awash with cookie-cutter tunes, Winehouse’s record not only cemented her as one of the most compelling voices of her generation but also proves that if heartbreak were an Olympic sport, she’d be standing on the podium with a gold medal and a cheeky smirk.

23/02/25 I never really appreciated Amy when she was alive, it wasn't until she died that I appreciated her music.

Enjoyable, good for background noise. well produced.

Amazing album - such a talent

Every song on this album is a hit. There are zero throwaways. Such a talent, vocally, lyrically, musically. Just a wonder.

Perfect album from cover to cover

Such a strong album all the way through - great lyrics, powerful voice, unique sound. Love it.

Great music. Legendary singer. Tragically missed.

She was that good

Definitely some songs I knew on here but didn't really resonate with me overall. Still an interesting sound and unique to say the least. Rated a little higher for being out of the ordinary

A nice soulful album to listen to. I was lucky to see her live at coachella before her passing

A great album. A big loss!

A soulful, beautifully written, beautifully produced record. Definitely bittersweet in retrospect but Amy Winehouse has a beautiful voice and the songs to back it up. Rehab was the big single but Back to Black is absolutely the show-stopper here. All great writing and music, every track. 4.5⭐️

Great music. Love her songs. This album gives plenty of nods to the classics but I cant get myself to call it a classic.

How have I never listened through this? Amazing

good

I just found this boring

7/10 The back up band is pretty good here, not great, but her voice is something else. 2-15-2025

Excellent

• 4/5 • retro but somehow original and idiosyncratic

Goat

Fav song: Tears Dry On Their Own LOVE the production style. Unfortunately though I feel like a lot of these songs sound like filler for the singles.

Rehab, Tears Dry On Their Own, and the title track are all decent, the rest are fine. Nice short album

Top notch. Weird how just knew most of these songs by osmosis, despite never actually listening to the album. Simpsons: No

Even though it's not something I'd usually choose to listen to, I have to say it's quite good.

I’m sure a lot of jazz purists take issue with Winehouse but is there anything more authentically jazz than battling with substance abuse throughout your life? Love love love this album

Great neo-soul. Really strong songs throughout the album. Great production, too.

9/10 - amazing album

Fantastic. 4.5.

Neo Soul at its finest. Iconic. Personal enjoyment: 5/5 Relevance to this list: 5/5

Obviously five stars

Stone cold classic

Six absolute bangers on this. A special talent.

Brilliant record.

Brilliant

This is a good album but I HATE neo soul.

Great album

Love our Amy

NOW THIS. Is the best Amy Album. I don’t even need to re-listen (but I will, duh) to give my rating: 5/5. Fave Song: Love is a Losing Game Least Fave Song: Just Friends

While not every song is a must, the overall quality of this album is fantastic! I can listen to this record over and over during a whole day. So sad Amy passed away. So talented and so young!

Multi-generational, gritty, inspiring, and just good music.

I liked almost every other song more than Rehab, which is saying something.

My life was missing nothing here. Yes there’s the voice (albeit which never personally appealed) but moreso there are the lyrics - dated and crude.

simultaneously original and innovative while still being timelessly classic. 8.2/10

Great songs. Very familiar with this album. Very poorly recorded!

I wasn't into this genre revival or perhaps Ronson's production when it occurred so I didn't listen to this album when it came out. Later I came to appreciate the sound more but never went back to listen to this album because of Winehouse's death. The album however is amazing, due to Ronson's production and because of Winehouse's voice and charisma. Her singing is incredible and her loss a great tragedy (maybe partially Ronson's fault). So now a sad and tragic beautiful album. (12 known/21 new)

I want you to picture yourself throwing a dinner party. It's for college students. No wait, It's for college professors. No wait, it's for work colleagues. No wait, it's for your house warming in a new neighborhood. Actually, fuck it... it's for all of those people. Here's the catch... you want to seem cool. Well here's the record you're going to play. It's literally impossible to hate on Amy Winehouse because EVERYBODY recognizes real talent when they hear it.

Great album, great voice. One of the only ones to actually make the nostalgia heavy throwback sound work.

-**Rehab: the instrumentals are so good, how do you outshine those? Have a voice like Amy Winehouse. -*You Know I’m No Good: beautiful; I want this played in a smoky club while Amy is on the small stage on a stool. Everyone dressed in modern 1920s-esque clothes. -Me & Mr. Jones: meh -Just Friends: meh, feels like the music and singing don’t go together well -**Back to Black: so good, that’s a jam -Love is a Losing Game: same thought as “You Know I’m No Good”; slow-dancer -*Tears Dry On Their Own: this one is fun, her voice is so fun to listen to -Wake Up Alone: bit too slow, but good contrast to other songs on the album -Some Unholy War: just ok to me -*He Can Only Hold Her: backup vocals, lead vocals, instrumentals and lyrics all working so well together, good -Addicted: didn’t quite hold my interest, but as with all the songs here, the lyrics are interesting, vocals and instruments are great Giving me an edgy/modern take on 60s rock ‘n’ roll. It surprises me that these songs are from the 2000s. Amy’s voice is so soulful and aged compared to her youth. What a unique and interesting talent that was lost so young. Even though a spotlight has shone on her short career because of its tragedy, I think the attention is deserved. As a songwriter and vocalist, she was incredible. This is a fantastic album. I went from knowing little about Amy Winehouse to wanting to hear more. *would download **heard before Note: reviewed “clean” version

Enjoyed, great voice.

iconic singer belting out some cracking songs

I remember when "Rehab" came out and it became instantly huge. It seemed to come out of nowhere. Of course, there was a lot build up that I wasn't aware of. This album is great, and despite have a sound very specific of the time, it has aged pretty well. The vocals are, or course, the main event. A deep howl that sounded simultaneously retro and modern. There were many singers who came onto the scene right after this album came who sang in a similar style, the most successful of whom was Adele. Key tracks: Rehab You Know I'm No Good Back to Black Tears Dry on Their Own

3 out of 5 First time listening to anything Amy Winehouse and it wasn't too bad.

It's got me addicted...more than any dick did. I love this queen we would have been friends. Favorite Tracks: - Love Is A Losing Game - Original Demo - Tears Dry On Their Own
