The Gilded Palace Of Sin

Country music where you can hear that it is from 1969. Not really a fan of country music. No real energizers, it is all a bit mundane, equal volumes, nothing that jumps out...

A very fun listen that I just didn't expect..

Enjoyed a few tracks and the style

Not as out there as the title had me prepared for. Rocky country with a twist. The reviews were pretty funny in parts..

I listened to this three times and liked it more and more each listen. Arriba!

Pretty generic uninspiring country, first three tracks of Side 2 are decent, that's about it.

So this is an odd one. It's a pretty run of the mill country album for the first two thirds, too biblical and twee for my tastes, but then livens up a lot with two tracks entitled Hot Burrito #1 and #2. That's a lot more like psychedelia, which I much prefer. Quick return to twee country with Track 10, before a proper proggy closer which I also really liked. Just manages a 3, on the strength of the three good tracks, but wouldn't recommend as a full album.

Not as bad as some reviewers would have you expect.

Country ain’t normally my jam. This was chill proto-psychobilly, which gives it more than the one star it normally would.

most country sounds fake even when it’s played by actual country musicians

First of all, it must be said that The Flying Burrito Brothers is a top tier band name. They're at their best when they're truly fusing country and rock, which they sometimes forget to do on this album. Sagged a bit in the middle, but finished strong. Best track: Hot Burrito #2

It's a perfectly nice country rock album that did nothing more than exist for most of its runtime. The closing track, Hippy Boy was a bit different and good. But mostly it was just okay.

Early country rock/fusion? Doesn't really land

bien qsy 7/10

Nothing that unique, but also nothing musically assaulting. It was a perfectly fine listen.

There is no surprise that this album is not more universally loved, it really is nothing spectacular, but it finds a way to stick around. It deserves to be listened to and the band deserves some place in one's memory. It is hard to say other than that nothing about the album was so incredible as to have made massive impact, but the effect of this album is much more subtle, where the notes tend to hit well after the songs have concluded. It is an album that while it is playing the songs and the journey have little to no meaning, but when the album is over there is a slight shock and even disappointment that it is over. Musically, the idea of country-rock is compelling, the energy of rock is there, but the simplicity of country also comes through. Perfect for a chill album, and interesting enough to pay attention. This is actually a fine album, maybe not groundbreaking or anything, but it just has this aura of importance as though because it exists, so does the genre. It is also a weird happenstance where the album name competes in noteworthiness against the band name.

I really hate slide steel. I know that's subjective and I shouldn't judge an album on how much slide steel is on it. But I'm gonna. It's awful. -1 star for the slide steel alone. The rest of the album was alright, I guess. It's country but not like... authentic country. It feels very poser. Very LA. This is sequins and convertibles instead of denim and horses. As such, it never really seems to hit anything but a superficial, surface-level emotional note. The musicianship is clearly up to snuff and Parsons is generally a pretty good songwriter but, despite all that talent, it's just a really 'meh' album.

I noticed that the further we are into the 1001 the more I only give top ratings to albums I know. Since I don't want to be that person who thinks good music is made only by bands that I have been listening to since high school / university, I'm so pleased that I really like this album that I never listened to before. I heard of the group's name before but would never take any positive steps to listen to it since their name was too wonky.  Well, I really like it. Gram Parsons is an excellent song writer. The music from this album has influenced many bands I quite like such as Wilco and The Jayhawks and also seems to have been an influence on songs like Neil Young's "Roll Another Number" and other tunes from Tonight's The Night. The country styled twangy vocals in "not even trying to be perfect" harmony work very well.

This album sounds legit - a full-on tribute to country music from guys who were playing more fashionable music a year or two prior. I like the harmonies and the guitar, especially the slide.

Muy country a ratos. Me gustó mucho "Hot burrito #2" y "Hippie boy". Aunque tampoco me ha emocionado le voy a dar 3 estrellas más que 2.

Old school country music is dope

Way better than Sweetheart of the Rodeo, which sucked, but still just okay

The flying burrito brothers are a band that gives off supernatural Hispanic vibes. Yet the music is a softer rock with country twang and instrumentals. This album is decent. It has a good genre blend while still sounding nice. The songs aren’t the most impressive but it has a niche that is worth filling sometimes a la burrito style. 6.4/10

Humdrum at best.

S'écoute bien, l'équilibre rock et country est très bon, parfois même americana ou folk. Pas quelque chose qui m'a grandement marqué, mais c'est bien conçu et aggréable pendant que ça joue. 7/10

Great band name, not great music. It's a bit too slick and modern to retain the charm of old timey country, but doesn't have the attitude or invention of good rock music. Just a bit ordinary.

No, this is terrible music. Production is poor as well.

what a progressive name for a band this old. what's the genre? butt rock? that's what I thought it was going to be but this is really pleasant country, I do keep thinking they're going to be singing about weird stuff but the lyrics are just normal. strangely regular. another really fucking sick cover photo. not on this album but they originally did wild horses, I didn't realize the Sundays were covering it and I hadn't even listened to the rolling stones version. anyway I think I love them

Ok not at all my favorite or wourth a relisten

3 Contry--- todo suena igual

The vibes in this album were elite, great sounds and story telling I really enjoyed this album. Country rock origins album they don’t make them like this no more.

Very easy listening, nice to have on in the background. Sounds like the Eagles

Love the band name, but I can't stand country style music.

This was a very interesting album. I am someone who likes Country Rock and this did not disappoint. The reason it is interesting is it had songs that clearly were more country sounding and some that were clearly more rock sounding. This was an interesting contrast when compared to other Country Rock groups that came after them like Eagles and Grateful Dead that had a more fluid sound. For instance "Sin City" is basically just a Country song with little identifiable Rock aspects and on the other side of the "Hot Burrito #1" and "Hot Burrito #2" are a lot closer to Rock songs than Country. The Eagles style was much more fluid between the two genres. That being said it doesn't make this album any worse just different. I think though if you are not a big fan of Country this is not gonna be for you. That being said I do like Country so this was good. I really liked the aforementioned "Hot Burrito #1" and "Hot Burrito #2" as well as "Wheels", "Juanita", "My Uncle", "Hippie Boy" and "Christine's Tune". There was really only one song on here I didn't really like and that was "Do Right Woman". I don't know why it is but so many groups try to cover this song and it is never a great cover imo. Their version was okay but once it gets to about a minute into the song the songs starts to feel way too slow for some reason. Despite that all the other tracks are solid to great and I would give the album in totality an 8.5/10. Also as a side note, this album cover is one of my favorites of all time. The way the band name pops on this cover is so good and their Nudie suits are amazing.

This music reminds me those biopics of musicians that started in the South and how an unrelated band was playing music on stage but weren't very good and nothing ever happened with them, all while there is dialogue around the main character happened in the foreground. Yeesh, this was a struggle to listen to. 4/10.

Tret de sortida del country rock, i encara avui un dels millors exponents del génere. La màgia conjunta de Gram Parsons i Chris Hillman brilla amb llum pròpia i temes com 'Christine's Tube', 'Sin City', 'Dark End of the Street' o 'Wheels' són ja icònics

Pleasant late 60s country rock album.

Leipe maar lekkere pseudo-country. Gezien de bandnaam, albumnaam en albumhoes moet je het allemaal maar niet te serieus nemen, gewoon getikte Americana die fijn wegluistert.

Hecht maar niet teveel waarde aan mijn oordeel over dit album. Ik had vroeger al een hekel aan kampvuur-muziek. Het is mij te saai. Hoogstens een achtergrond-muziekstijl voor mij.

Lollige en jolige gitaren en mandolines rond het kampvuur-muziek. En een pedal steel is natuurlijk altijd goud. Ik neem aan dat Roel nog wel met een referentie naar de Amazing Stroopwafels komt. Het wisselt net als de Stroopwafels eigenlijk de country americana af met een soort van smartlappen, waarbij die huilende pedal steel zijn werk goed doet. Eigenlijk klinken veel nummers als "het is weer voorbij die mooie zomer". Maar dan met veel zangharmonieen en gitaarlickjes erbij. Prima plaatje toch wel.

3.5 + It's hard to take this band seriously with such a stupid fucking name. Overlooking that, this record is a solid blend of country, gospel and psychedelic-inflected rock. I like the use of slide and lap steel guitar throughout. The songs float in a pleasant middle ground but I don't connect on a deeper level.

The fusion between country music and rock and roll continued to solidify itself with this debut album from the awesomely named Flying Burrito Brothers. Much has been made and said of Gram Parsons' invaluable contributions to the unlikely events of the two genres colliding and rightfully so but, without the equally important role of former fellow Byrd Chris Hillman, none of this would have been possible without the proper partners coming together. The sweethearts of the rodeo settling down into a sinful reverie in a once pretty palace, this gilded area showcases its unique style of musical harmony across eleven tracks and it feels like a breeze and a weary, weathered tale of time. An important album for an important moment in a genre's history. Favorites: Christine's Tune, Do Right Woman, Dark End of the Street, My Uncle, Hot Burrito # 1 & 2, Do You Know How It Feels.

Man, this one really started with a bang and ended with a whimper. I love these vocal harmonies and the fusion of rock, country, folk, and blues was exciting to hear. The original songs and covers all brimmed with something fresh and exciting. At least for the first 5 songs... After that the quality and originally fade and the album as a whole begins to overstay it's welcome. By the time it was over, I was glad it was over. Still some good tunes here, but I won't be listening to the entire LP again.

Nope

Country and Western of the worst type - lot's of twanging guitars. Hate It

Top notch Americana that has rarely been surpassed. I do hate the last track and find it almost ruins the album for me

Excellent

Reminiscencias country para una serie de canciones tranquilas y con un cierto toque americano. Fácil de escuchar y relajado

too Twangy, not my thangy

its like if hippies made a country album 2.5

Some interesting bits but didn't do much for me overall

2/5. Yeah it was okay. The “alt-country” it created was surely in its beginning stages, didn’t age very well.

I mean it's fine but I don't have the desire to listen again ever

Il s'agit-là d'un vrai feel-good album. On peut y voir les Flying Burrito Brothers se composer différents burritos l'un pour l'autre en prenant bien soin de sautiller par intermittence. Le projet dérape toutefois lorsque l'un des frères se décide à frire le tortilla servant d'enveloppe au burrito. Son frangin l'assénera de coups de poing en lui rappelant qu'un tortilla frit transforme instantanément un burrito en chimichanga. Une bien triste conclusion pour un projet qui avait si bien démarré.

Excellent album des Flying Burrito Brothers. De multiples compositions et garnitures nous sont proposées afin de créer le burrito qui nous convient, j'ai personnellement opté pour une composition salade/tomates/haricots rouges/oignons, avec une sauce salca et quelques parts de boeufs. Un véritable délice.

A great mix of country, rock, and psychedelics that's bring this album to a satisfying whole. Never heard of this band before but I rate it quite highly, I enjoyed the whole album and it's going into my country playlist for more listens. Favourite Tracks - Christine's tune, Hot burrito #2

I realize they had future stars and were influential, but their sound is plain silly

Favorites: -Christine's tune -Hot burrito #1

Very almost couldn't finish this.

If nothing else these guys bring it with the band and album names. But I couldn't really get that into this album. *shrug*

I wish I had a bit more time to listen seriously today so I could better appreciate all the nuanced uniqueness of this album. The snatches I was able to enjoy were quite interesting. Seemed like there was some good cheeky storytelling paired with real solid hurdy durdy twang. I’m going to circle back to this one when I can listen without distraction.

It's pretty alright, quite funny in a certain way. Overall a fine mix of country and psychedelic rock... but mostly just country.

Traditional Country and Western style - a positive start that got repetitive about two songs in. Great at naming bands - terrible at playing music.

A good burrito should have enough filling to never feasibly get airborne

Superb, an influential album predating Americana. Excellent tracks include Sin City, Do Right Woman, #1 Hot burrito and a decent cover of At the dark end of the street. Close your eyes and you could be sat in a diner on a sunny Saturday morning, about to get your second cup of coffee

Meh.

Очень замедленное кантри, честно говоря не фанат. Но чем дальше слушаешь альбом, тем больше понимаешь сколько знакомых звуков он дает: как и супер очевидные The Eagles, так и горячо любимые мной Black Country New Road. Здорово, приятно звучит, но я не слишком большой ценитель такого медленного кантри

Классное кантри. Жанром никогда не интересовался, исполнителя никогда не слышал. Но судя по году издания, это вероятно группа из разряда "мы повлияли на всю будущую музыку". Например, на группу Eagles, имхо. Мне кажется, прям очень похоже, причём даже проскользнула мысль, что у них участники пересекались, но нет. Снова моё нелюбимое стерео из 60-х. В такие моменты у меня возникает фобия, что я перестал слышать определённые частоты одним или другим ухом. Не, ну в целом альбом классный, вполне слушабельный. Для своего времени может он и был культовым, но как по мне, таких песен сейчас тоже хватает уже. Где-то они даже Стинга напомнили... Да в целом, это даже на Битлз чем-то похоже, просто чуть меланхоличнее. Отличный саундтрек для поездок опять же (впрочем, видимо, как и всё кантри). Из интересного, Hot Burrito #1 напомнило мне чем-то My Way Фрэнка Синатры. Не вокальной линией, а аккордовой последовательностью. А My Way был в свою очередь списан с французской песни Comme d'habitude Клода Франсуа, но это совсем другая история...

Плавающая шава запомнится, конечно, но хз. 3-

Fantastic album. The songwriting, vocals, and Sneaky Pete's pedal steel playing are impeccable. Love the fuzz on the pedal steel. A country-rock gem, but as a whole, it's a little too country to make it a personal favorite of mine. I still really enjoy it though, and the more I listen to it, the more I appreciate it. Christine's Tune, Sin City, and Hot Burrito #1 were the standouts for me. 8/10.

The album cover is a 10/10, the music not really there though. It was a very classic country feel to it which makes it a cozy, comfy listen, but too few of the songs just don’t have much memorable to them. I like the interjections of fuzzy guitar on a few of the songs too. 6/10

At first I thought. "Well, this album definitely is NOT for me." But the more I got into it, I realized that while I didn't like the more country songs, I did enjoy some of the songs that got a bit psychedelic. They reminded me a lot of the Grateful Dead. Made me think of if the Beatles did country rock instead of pop rock. Not a bad album, but not necessarily one I really enjoyed or will return to. Not exactly sure why it's on the list either.

Pleasant soft country rock, but it’s not all that special to me Hippie boy was funny

"Everything I love about the Eagles but with way more substance" says another review. Maybe... but with far less striking melodies and less catchy tunes as well. I have to be honest with myself here: if those middle-of-the-road country sounds are what people call "substance", it means I'm not interested in the latter then (sarcasm). The comparison made in that review is a little ludicrous in my honest opinion. I'm not a *huge* Eagles fan, but there's probably a reason their songs stayed in people's heads. And it seems to me the ones of Gram Parsons are not up to that level. Sure, you can find genuine melodic inspiration in cuts such as "Dark End Of The Street" or "Hot Burrito #2", but there's not nearly enough of it to make this album worth my time. Next, please. Number of albums left to review: 668 Number of albums from the list I find relevant enough to be mandatory listens: 161 Albums from the list I *might* include in mine later on: 78 Albums from the list I will certainly *not* include in mine (many others are more essential to me): 93 (including this one)

Dobry piczek od The Flying Burrito Brothers, czyli glownie pana Grama Parsonsa, ktory po przygodzie z Byrdsami na Sweetheart of the Rodeo postanowil stworzyc cos jeszcze bardziej swojego i tak do zycia zostal powolany sklad Burritowy, od Byrdsow pozyczyl pana Hillmana, a pozostale dwie postacie to Sneaky Pete Kleinow i Chris Ethridge, ktorych nazwiska mowia mi juz mniej niz Grama i Hillmana, na The Gilded Palace Of Sin z 69 jeszcze bardziej rozbudowal swoja wizje muzyczna, ktora jest misterna synteza estetyki country z zadziwiajaco slyszalnymi gospelowymi influencjami, przyprawionymi potezna dawka psychodelicznosci, orginalne brzmienie tej plyty widac juz nawet po samej okladce, te niedzielne gajerki w ktorych pokazac mozna sie zarowno na poranne nabozenstwo jak i wieczorne kwaszenie, a do takiej muzyki mozna spokojnie wrzucac na kable, sporo tutaj opowiesci o glebokich milosciach jak i priczowanie zycia zgodnie z przykazaniami panskimi, 37 minut nagrania wypelniaja gitarowe i organowe dzwieki, klawisze w wykonaniu Grama, a gitary dzielone sa przez reszte skladu, do tego dochodza goscie drumujacy i dziki Crosby jako jeden z wokali na trzecim traku, jedna z tych plyt ktora moglaby u mnie leciec i pol dnia na petelce, 11 trakow z ktorych bije taka oryginalnosc brzmienia, ze czuje dobrze czlowiek po przerwie albumikowania, jestem w stanie wybaczyc techniczne bolaczki dziwnie kierowanego chorkowania, ktorego troche tutaj jednak jest, bo burritowa brac jak nikt inny wykorzystuje pedalowa gitarke hawajska, bo to ona laczy ostre gitarowe przestery z akustycznymi akcentami na tle klawiszowym, co najlepiej slychac na trakach wheels lub drugiej czesci goracego burriciaka, na plejke dodam dark end of the street i wspomnianego wczesniej goracego burriciaka

Great band name. Great album name. 1969...what a time to be alive. Twangy, country feel on this one. Very folksy.

I don't listen to country. I kinda liked this.

After yesterdays album, I feel really bad for the flying burrito brothers. Your classic late 60’s “rock” album. Normally I’d have given them a 3 and moved on but I skipped songs and just kept thinking about Kendrick and it made these songs sound even worse. I kept picturing this as a great album to listen to back in the 70’s while cruising in your car. But in todays time, I don’t think I’d listen again.

In more ways than one, we find ourselves in hippie country. It's about 90% country and 10% psych rock. Not a mixture that works as well here as it could. The Byrds did the country departure much better if you ask me. This one lacks bite or much of anything distinct. Any album assigned today would've had a hell of a time following Kendrick's To Pimp a Butterfly, but this one hit with a thud. Not at all bad, just painfully decent. Favorite tracks: Do Right Woman, Hippie Boy, Hot Burrito #1. Album art: Really love this cover, excellent font, outfits are cool as hell. Got my hopes extremely high for something more psychedelic. Alas, not so. 2.5/5

Apareceu no domingo de manhã, resolvi escutar enquanto lavava louça. Só que esta pretensa mistura de country com rock tornou a experiência assaz desagradável. Constatei que essa combinação de uma tarefa cotidiana com descobrir nova música country realmente me fez sentir como se estivesse vivendo uma cena de um filme pretensamente indie. Até porque a cena durou exatamente os 36 minutos do álbum.

50-50 oikein hyviä biisejä ja sitten (mun makuun) vähän moneen kertaan kuultuja. Varmaan hyvä livebändi.

Muutaman asialle vihkiytyneen henkilön ei-ilmiselvä representaatio siitä, mitä he kuulevat kantrissa, ja hätkähdyttävän onnistunut sellainen. A-puolelta on vaikea löytää heikkoa raitaa - soulkoverit soljuvat kaikessa luonnollisuudessaan muun mukana - ja B-puolikin lässähtää vain osittain. Huomaamattomat saavutukset: My Uncle ja Wheels (Gösta Sundqvist Amerikassa).

Sad sounding country is just not my cup of tea. Decent vocals, I just couldn't muster much enjoyment out of this.

So after listening to what may be my surprise artist of 2023, I get the Flying Burritos. I know this Parsons dude has worked with all kinds of bands and been making music a long time, but this is not for me. This is the annoying twangy kind of stuff I just can't get into. I saw the 2nd song called Sin City and was hoping for something like Bon Scott's version. Not even close and all hope for something special was lost..... There was a song Hippie Boy, that mentioned a guy on acid, smelly like weed. I like the sticky too. Tough to follow Lou, but you did mention weed, so I give a solid 1. Won't be seeking out other stuff by these guys

2 Apple Music has this album listed under rock. I can see if but I would compare it to that Merle Haggard album. The difference for me is that I enjoyed the Merle Haggard album. This one started pretty strong with some nice steel guitar sprinkled through. Lyrically speaking there’s not much for me. It got pretty boring pretty quick. There were a few spots where it grabbed my attention like the song that sounds like they’re running a tuba through a distortion pedal. Beyond that I haven’t got much more to say about this one.

2 Terrible band name, and the music isn’t much better. Pure country, but I really don’t feel like there’s anything interesting going on here with the songwriting or storytelling, and to be honest I really don’t care for Gram Parsons’ voice. Why the hell was this guy hanging out with the Stones? I’m guessing Keith Richards was his dealer. Anyway, not a big fan of the album, but if you’re not familiar with the story of Gram Parsons’ corpse being stolen by his friends for a ceremonial cremation, I would recommend looking into it because it’s pretty interesting - the Disgraceland podcast and its book adaptation cover it.

Not something I'm really into. The vocals are beautiful, and I appreciate the every song actually does sound different, but I wouldn't go back to this. Interesting band name, though. Fave track(s): Hot Burrito #1

The second country album in a row that I've gotten. Not sure what I was expecting when I saw the band name and decade this was made, but it definitely wasn't early proto-countryrock. I actually enjoyed Emmylou Harris much more compared to this. This was crap from start to finish.

Not my jam

Interesting Album But not for me

With a name like I that, I didn't expect much, but man this was right up my alley. Still has the 60s country influence with a touch of 70s pizzaz. Would listen again

Haluan vuokrata auton ja ajella Yhdysvaltojen eteläisimpien osavaltioiden halki, nukkua motelleissa, juoda halpaa kaljaa huonoissa dinereissa ja kuunnella huonoa kantria. Eli tavallaan tykkään tunnelmasta, mutta ei tää levy kyllä kovin hyvä ole.

👍

Classic country, lap steel, lots of twang. It's ok

Apparently these guys are a spin-off from the relatively unremarkable group The Byrds, because of course they are. The latter have 5 albums on here, so what's one more? Anyways, it's fine for what it is, they did manage to get me to sit through a country album until the end, but they certainly didn't have me pining for more. Unlike real burritos, of which one can never get enough. 2/5 avocados 🥑🥑

Really country music! Not a very entertaining country music it is. Boring to me.

After the run of 2's this list has given me this past week, this low 3 sounds like a goddam masterpiece.

Country? Rock? Late 60's. Silly name? Mediocre love songs? Meh.

I’m fairly sure that The Flying Burrito Bros have not come up on my radar before. I feel like I’d probably remember a name like that. Happy to hear something new (to me) today. Songs I already knew: none Favourites: Christine’s Tune, Sin City, Hippie Boy This wasn’t as bad as I was expecting. It’s very rare that country music does anything for me, but there were some pretty good songs on here. Don’t get me wrong, there were also some pretty bad songs, but I was expecting to like none of it so I’m happy to be proven wrong. I can’t quite put my finger on why this is different to any other country music either. The vocals are very hit and miss - sometimes they harmonise beautifully, other times they just seem a bit off. Overall, as a whole album, this was decent but nothing more.

Meh

The name of the band was the only thing familiar to me before listening to The Flying Burrito Brothers' The Gilded Palace of Sin. In general I liked the album. The music was not country, but had a mix of country, folk, or southern rock. There were times wehn the vocals reminded me of the Flaming Lips, and some of the arrangements reminded me of the Milk Carton Kids. I'm a fan of both of those bands. A full album of songs about "love done wrong" is a bit much for me, so I am not rounding up to 4 stars. I would be interested in hearing more from the band.

I didn't always love this album, but it grew on me over time. It's the kind of album I could have on repeat all day long. It's one of the great seminal albums of country rock and has also got to be one of the best debut albums by a band ever. Musically, the Burritos are stellar, with gorgeous pedal steel guitar, heartfelt vocal harmonies, and disarmingly vulnerable lyrics. Gram Parsons' artfully flawed vocal style can be a bit of an acquired taste, but once you settle into it, it's really expressive and hauntingly beautiful. Fave Songs (All songs, from most least favorite): Hot Burrito #1, Dark End of the Street, Juanita, Wheels, Do Right Woman, Hot Burrito #2, Do You Know How It Feels, Sin City, My Uncle, Hippie Boy, Christine's Tune

Why. Guess you had to be there.

Better than any and every Byrds album. Better than a number of country albums on this list. It should be a requirement that one only listens with good headphones, as you get Gram Parsons' vocals on the left and Chris Hillman on the right, and whoever's voice you choose to focus on tells me everything I need to know about you.

Fantastic stuff, really great old folk-country

Country. Ni fu ni fa.

Bah, normal.

Held my attention start to finish. Solid album.

Blended country and psychedelic 60s sounds together pretty well. Not a whole lot of variety, but nothing was outright bad

Old man country music. Grandpa country

definitely not my usual genre. the lyrical content is intriguing but not enough to look into further. The band name and album title are lil misleading.

This album was mediocre. I think it had some special songs and then others that were annoying but nothing to make it a memorable album. I think the best part was their name 😭

I used to watch Hee-Haw at my grandma's house when I was a kid. To be accurate, she would put it on and what was I gonna do? Trying to be objective I can definitely hear how this was an influence on a lot of 70s music, and not just the same genre. You can hear how artists like The Eagles, Elton John, and the Stones to name a few took a lot from this (also there are shittonne of echoes of "AM Gold" type music in here; e.g. listen to "Hot Burrito #1" - could be Bread). There's a nice simple clarity to the record that makes it easy-listening. Having said that ... I'm not sure I actually *like* this all that much...? just on a personal level; it's fine to listen to but not something I'm going to ever reach for not being much of a country fan (having said that, "Hot Burrito #2" is really good and more along the lines of an early-70s vibe I enjoy). But props to not trying to do too much. And for the 37 minute run-time. Everybody could probably get something out of this for one listen at least. 6/10 3 stars.

An amazing slice of history. Hard to tell if they are joking most of the time, but legit good music.

Why are we on a farm in Texas? Zei Almudena na 2 tracks. Daarna maar afgezet, want toen was de lol er voor mij ook af…

Aparte plaat. Ondanks dat het veel country bevatte, intrigeerde me het wel. Niet heel vervelend dus van 2,5 naar 3 sterren

Dit bewijst maar weer dat de meeste countrymuziek gewoon echt niet te harden is.

Leuke bandnaam.

Laurel Canyon Country Bear Jamboree

Had fun with this one. Apparently lynyrd skynyrd just lifted their whole look from them? More country than rock or soul but you can hear the beginnings of them all melding.

We got two types of music here boy. Country and rock. Too much country though one or two absolute tunes.

C'est bon, county, rock, hippie. J'ai bien aimé la musicalité et je ne connaissais pas le band donc C'est bien. Beaucoup d'album du genre par exemple donc ce n'est pas côté très haut, car cela ressemble tout les albums country generique que j'ai écouté, avec une peitte coche de plus peute-tre. 3.75

A bit drivelly

Never heard this before. Love the name, and really dug the music. It probably helps that I'm also a fan of the Byrds. :)

Best Song: Hot Burrito #2. At least things are starting to get somewhat interestingly electric here. Worst Song: Sin City. Bit too honky tonk for me. Overall: Sometimes you see a combination of a band name and an album name that seems like it might be interesting, but then the artists absolutely fumble the bag. Why give yourself such a silly name to just go out and sing sad little country ditties?

Had never heard of this, so was happy to have a new discovery after a few days of well-known albums. It was entertaining, but nothing extraordinary. Hard to move past the burrito names, though...

2 Grandma

I liked it - kind of hank Williams meets the 60s

Would enjoy, but not in the mood for it at the moment.

I never thought, in a million years that a band called The Flying Burrito Brothers would produce an album by the name of The Gilded Palace of Sin, or that it would sound like that. This was an adventure in pain tolerance.

It's decent enough

4.5

Beautiful. They sure love their 3/4 time. Not at all what I expected from the band name, but it's great!

I love the band name but otherwise it seemed like a typical country album from the early 60s even though it came out later on. It was fun to listen to but nothing stuck too much

2.5. Just ok for me.

4.5

Okej, but I don't love it.

Ugh fake country sung by hippies.

Nice harmonies that we can expect from the Byrds members, but this is country pop we have heard many times before.

Entertaining country rock album that on the long haul turns out to be too similar and without real highlights

Classy country rock album that’s a joy throughout with the only weak tracks being the soul covers, the purpose of which is hard to discern. A snapshot of an era, full of references to drugs, hippies and the draft.

Too country for my taste.

I like the name more than I like the music, unfortunately. The last song was cool though.

Country ...

muito massa o sonzao meio country e tal

Genuinely surprised at how much I enjoyed this one - probably not an album I’d revisit in full very often but there was quite a few great standout tracks. This one left a great impression considering country is not a genre I’ve ever really been a fan of with a handful of exceptions.

Not for me. Less awkwardly awful than I usually find country music, but I would actively avoid listening to it again.

Another album that means much more in historical context, than it is an actual good album. It is a country band, that mixes different genres with it, most notably rock, psychedelic rock and gospel. You can hear this album being molded in the same pot as some of The Beatles, early Pink Floyd or The Beach Boys. You could exchange couple songs between those bands and no one would be surprised. The only problem, in my opinion, is that as a whole, The Gilded Palace Of Sin didn't withstand the test of time. Not only I couldn't recognise any of those songs, but also nothing really was good enough even to recommend. Tracks that were pure country were simply not good enough. Those mixed with rock were better, but still at best could fit to the B side of bands mentioned before, so usually first to forget. As I mentioned once, I will try not to rate albums on the base of historical context, but only on the base of how much I liked it right now. And with this little detail I can't give more than two stars.

Good time

I love when an absolutely ridiculous band name shows up and DELIVERS. This had great songwriting, great performances, and I can see the way it trickled into country after it came onto the scene. Excellent.

Just teeters the line a bit dangerously between the early country/western sound I like and the polished country sound I disdain, but the back end really pushes it up to that final star. Great lyrics, great performances, concise album.

I really enjoyed this!

Good album.

I love this genre. The Byrds have a great album in it too.

Oh for fuck's sake, 1969. Judging by the band name and those lairy outfits I'm gonna say joke country? Ok it's more just straight up country. Maybe 1960s hipsters were subtler and the joke flew over my head. I'd say I'm not sure what it's doing on this list but LOL as if that matters anymore. 2/5.

Definitely expecting more whimsy from such a named band

Country soft rock, not bad not overly exciting, "Christine" was best

not a single song to remember

Æsj

Ganske basic bitch country, om eg huske riktig

Not bad. 2.5/5

cowboy music. longing vocals. twanging guitars. I much prefer Willie Nelson.

even with my passionate aversion to country I enjoyed this. sounds like the dead on less cocaine.

His own health aside, anything Gram Parsons touched was gold. While I don’t think anything can top Sweetheart of the Rodeo, this is one of the defining alt-country albums. It’s a blast to listen to, and the songwriting is excellent throughout. There are too few country records like this on the list!

I like the quality of the music, it’s calming and well done, I would listen to this more. I don’t really have a favorite song I just like the album as a whole.

Takler ikke køntri. Hvorfor måtte disse her og f.eks. Byrds begynne med det?

Bare hedninger som ikke liker køntri.

Meh

plagsomt

Whether you like it or not, country rock is a thing, and these guys were the Pangaea of the genre. (6/10) FT: Christine's Tune, Hot Burrito #1

One look at the album cover and I hit play as quick as a could before I had a chance to think better of it. The first couple songs have lyrics so cliched it hurts, and the music is nearly so, except also weird. Reading the Wikipedia entry these aren't just any burritos, which helps me understand how this album didn't just sink without a trace like it should have. The music itself is competently played, and maybe one song like this would be fun, but a whole album is way too much. Way. Too. Much.

A sort of early Eagles, but softer.

Not my jam. Sick name tho

Loving those Nudie suits almost as much as this middle finger to the country establishment by combining country and rock. Way ahead of its time. Best Tracks: Christine's Tune; The Dark End of the Street; Hot Burrito #1

Well it’s not bab but it’s quite meh

Not on my radar. Great suits! Before I listen/Wiki, I guess its a country-rock thang? Ah Gram Parsons. Died in his 20s of booze and drugs. Hit it! Ok I see that this album did poorly on initial release but now is held in quite high esteem. Its kinda washes over me. Workmanlike but unmemorable. 3

Country & Western & Soft Rock? I'm actually in hell.

I don’t know what I was expecting…it’s alright. Not my favorite piece of ‘60s rock. There’s a bit too much country style to this for me to enjoy it fully.

Gram Parson's solo albums were my entry into the world of country rock. I enjoyed this record, which is of the same cut (although no Emmy-Lou Harris, missed here). Hippie Boy finishes the album on an unfortunate and dated joke, but the rest of the album fuses the influences of rock, country and r'n'b in a away not really done before. Parsons is really stretching out what (cosmic) American music can be. The playing of the band and guests should not be underrated either, with weird and wonderful variations on traditional country playing throughout. GP and Grievous Angel are 5 star albums, but this is well on the way.

Gentle bimble through the bluegrass never heard this before

Decent older country. Christine's Tune is excellent

I misread the title as The Gilead Place of Sin. Maybe that flavoured my context as some of it sounded a bit preachy. Do Right Woman rang some bells, Dark End Of The Street was enjoyable but the rest just didn't do much for me.

I'm not a country fan but I quite like this with the heavy instrumentals

Hi- Christine's Tune, My Uncle, Wheels, Hot Burrito #2 so confused...I can't tell if it's preachy gospel or swamp rock satire or goofed-up psychedelic. It's all of it, and none of it all at once, where it's honky-tonk, jazzy, funky and light-hearted while diving into deeply serious topics. It's just a weird combination. The lyrics seem to be either observational or introspective, but cover a wide gamut of topics such as gambling, prejudice, heartbreak and infidelity, religion, military and draft-dodging, and drugs/alcohol. Over all, it's a competent album...and it's definitely food for thought (but never carry more than you can eat).

I love how they thread the needle between rock and country.

Hippie Country sounds like an oxymoron but it works for me.

Liked it more than I thought. Kind of nice quaint 70s psych-folk but has something about it that is appealing. Not my genre in general but not bad at all.

Good

Gram Parsons proper follow-up to the highly influential Sweetheart of the Radio. Huge points for creativity, influence, and strong songwriting. The R&B covers work well too. Major problem is that it sounds garbage. I can hardly hear anything besides the vocalist and guitar... nearly all the instruments sound faint and overshadowed (the piano's ok). The instruments are played well, but it's just the horrendous mixing. The tracks themselves are all solid, there's a stronger diverse country influence here than on Sweetheart, but I don't find them as iconic or endearing. It might have to do with the harsher vocals. Still one of my favorite country albums next to Sweetheart. Favorites: Sin City, My Uncle, Wheels, Hot Burrito #1 and #2

With this weird of a name, I was really hoping to like this album. Oh well.

Twangy rock, dope

Slaps. Bussin, even

Actually didn’t mind some of the soul covers.

Almost a 3... but not quite.... Pretty decent for a country act though

Nein.

Great stuff. I think I've heard of the name of the band in passing because of how silly it is but I completely dug it. Fun country-infused rock. 4.5/5

This was a band I just could not get into. I mean I love Ray Price, Roy Acuff, The Louvin Brothers, Buck Owens and I get what the Burrito's are trying to do but that's the problem. What the Burrito's are trying to "Do" to me comes off as incomplete

Genre: Country Rock 3/5 Gram Parsons, one of the founding members of The Flying Burrito Bros, is the man who is credited with being one of the first artists to truly push the envelope of country music. He, along with band member Chris Hillman, took country music to a much more rockin' place, generally speaking. They never received the commercial success contemoprarily, but posthumously, Parsons is lauded by artists and critics alike. While I thoroughly enjoyed The Byrds album that Parsons was a part of, released just a bit before this album was, Sweetheart of the Rodeo, this album almost plays like you'd expect an old country album to play like. There are some new ideas here, heavier usage of steel guitars being the main and most prominent one, but it sounds too much like its influences rather than sounding like something brand new. Enjoyable, but not groundbreaking or breathtaking.

Nothing particularly special here.

I was supposed to listen to this years ago lol

The Gilded Palace of Sin by The Flying Burrito Brothers (1969) When I first heard of this band back in 1969, I was puzzled as to whether the adjective “Flying” modified the noun “Brothers” or the noun “Burrito”. Were they ‘flying bothers’ or did they have an affection for ‘flying burritos’? This syntactical ambiguity was sufficient for me to pass it over for bands whose names made more sense, like Three Dog Night. In any case, I missed The Gilded Palace of Sin altogether, which is not to say I missed the gilded palace of sin itself. No, sir. The Parsons/Hillman songwriting here is an improvement over their earlier country rock work with The Byrds (Sweetheart of the Rodeo [1968]), where their best-sounding songs were written by others (Dylan, Haggard, Guthrie, Louvin, etc.). Themes here touch on perennial concerns like faith, eschatological hope, sacrificial love, the sad fact of sin, and the rationality of draft dodging. Chord progressions and melodies are drearily standard, in the 1960s country vein, lazily laid down with predictably drawling elocution. But it makes for an anxiety-free listening experience. A curious spoken word ballad “Hippie Boy” closes out the record, which prompts thought but lacks resolution, with its morally flat ending. The engineering is flawed by excessive separation between the Gram Parsons/Chris Hillman vocals in the mix, emphasizing the lack of both rhythmic and tonal synchronization between the voices. A nice cameo high tenor harmony by David Crosby on “Do Right Woman” is not blended well in the recording. And the (uncredited) horns on “Hot Burrito #2” are poorly recorded—so poorly that one wonders if it’s not horns at all, but a bad synthesizer. But no, this is in the pre-synthesizer era. Maybe the horn players said “Don’t you dare put our names in the credits!” I dunno. Chris Hillman’s electric guitar performance is above par, but not brilliant. And the rather pedestrian bass lines from Chris Ethridge could have been significantly improved with more attention to intonation and polish. However, this was 1969, when bass playing by anyone other than Paul McCartney or John Paul Jones was still in its formative period. But the musical highlight of the album is the talented but idiosyncratic pedal steel of “Sneaky” Pete Kleinow, sometimes colored with intriguing effects like fuzzbox and the quivering sound of the Hammond Leslie, which is more conventionally applied to electronic organ. Listen to “Wheels” for a combination of pedal steel effects. Fascinating. This album is okay, but if you skip it you won’t be culturally stunted. 2/5

I was already convinced of the necessity of psych-country, but this album did very little to help. I was already convinced about pedal steel, and that instrument wormed its way in during the second half and recommended the project to me nonetheless. Parson's voice is silky, which lends the unsmoothness of the record a strange quality. Fine pop country is what the Gilded Palace ends up at, I think.

8/10 nice country rock sounds with ironic lyrics

5/10. Evil rappers be like: I'm not the kind of person who would want attention from multiple women. All in all a rather samey album that verges on contemporary christian music.

Pretty gloomy and not a lot of variation. 5/10

Proto-Eagles! One of those ones that's on the list because of their influence more than the actual album I assume, as it's like classic country rock in a bottle. My top pick is 'Do Right Woman', a good soul vibe number!

This is again, not my thing. There are several albums like this on here - all of them sound the same. The Eagles are the only band that can pull this off, but that's because they don't stay in one lane...They try life in the fast lane (lol).

Yee-haw Prefs: Christine's Tune, Sin City, Dark End of the Street, My Uncle, Wheels, Hot Burrito #1, Hot Burrito #2 Moins pref: Hippie Boy

Liked the back half of the album but on the whole didn't really care for it too much.

Not a fan of this southern rock sound but listenable

This was a pretty good time. The songs get a little repetitive but the lyrics are interesting all the way through. First time I heard "Hot Burrito #1" it was a cover by Belly, but didn't realize it was a cover until hearing this. Both versions are really good. Feel like this is just a little below 4 stars but I'll round up.

I first heard this one many years ago when I was first getting into "country rock" along the lines of Lucero, Uncle Tupelo, DBT, etc. I wasn't super impressed then if I'm being honest. I'm still not, but it's not bad. I feel like I should like it more than I do. I can understand why other people would like it and the influence of it is apparent. Not a bad time, but I'm still not entralled.

Not my kind of country album, not a fan of the lyrics

This seems like an album that fits the time/place/era from when it was released. It’s good, but feels dated. It had some catchy hooks and overall the feel of late 60’s era anti war, anti government came through in the music I was hearing. I liked it, but not sure I’d listen again. I’ve actually seen the name of this band a few times, but never gave them a listen. Glad I gave them a chance.

Really wasn't into it. It was bland and droning.

Too country for me

I'm not usually a fan of country and western, but the Gram Parsons and the Burrito Brothers had a different approach to the genre. While the music has styling of folk and country, they also fused in elements of gospel, soul and rock. The results are heard on this album and were influential to the country-rock genre and alt-country rock bands from the late 80's and 90's. They owe a lot of their influence from this record. Gram Parson proved in his short tragic career that quality over quantity was more important and Gilded Palace is a good starting point when examining Parson's career.

I've heard this before and really rate it. Of all the neverending country/folk/rock albums on this list I think this is a level above most of them

It reminded me a lot of Brazilian Brega music, and I liked how the hillbily meets the hippie in some tracks, like "Wheels", and also gospel music influence in "Hippie Boy". Pretty nice, but I couldn't find the reason why it's in the 1001 list, just by listening to it. UPDATE: I checked its Wiki page out, now I see it better :)

eh

It's the music style I love!

'Country-rock' - 85% country 15% rock. I don't think that it's bad country though. Nothing groundbreaking.. expected some crazy shit from the title and band name!

Great fun album. Reminds me of Cake and PUSA that I listened to growing up. Cool tunes and offbeat lyrics.

6.5/10

feels like one of those albums that influenced a million artists and/or a genre. enjoyed it a lot

Muy bueno

ah man, i'm just so let down. top ten name- check pussy wagon style logo - check superfly album get up - check sick album name - check music that isn't shit - big fat red X its just such a waste. why does it have to be cuntry music. i got so excited when i saw this masterpiece album cover.

This record is the result of an ill-advised experiment between four men and their insatiable lust for having sex with burritos. It burnt each of their dicks off, Peter. For Christ's sake, their handsome penises are ruined. In tatters. They can still fly though. But what use is flying if your burnt, limp cock is hanging on by a thread?

I was expecting more given the name. Wank farmer music. 🐓🐖🐎🐂

Nah mate, I'm a taco man and generally I prefer my Mexican food not to be airborne.

Amazing!

I found this so dull and uninteresting to listen to

Plenty of pedal steel guitar, country but not obnoxious plastic country - yeah, I can get on with this. Fave track - "Hippie Boy", I reckon...

Didn't really land with me.Just very countrified soft rock

Dirgey

Luke Null, with a guitar solo by Jack White, on SNL sang the best rendition of "The Dark End of the Street", which saves this otherwise somewhat forgettable album.

Perus kitarointia. Ei kyllä säväyttänyt erityisesti.

Fiilaan lämminhenkistä tunnelmaa. Puolet biiseistä hyviä, puolet vähän meh, mutta annetaan nippa nappa 3.

Kantri on kyl vähän eh. sinänsä kyl kova levynnimi ja varmaan kantrille poikkeukselliset tekstit.

Some interesting lyrics, but Country just isnt my cup of tea.

60s hippy country music, low on impact. Stand out track: their cover of Dark End Of The Street.

I tried, i did, even though i cant stand country music. i hear the mix of beatles-eske with country. cant get into it

I liked this album, but I do think it was missing something

Dawn of the southern rock

Already heard it. Very good.

6/10

First of all, that name is incredible. This is really great though. I dig the mix of country and rock. The vocal harmonies are incredible especially on headphones and the mix is really well done.

Alright. A bit country.

Band choose After three listens, I still wasn't feeling like any of it had drawn me in, or that I was able to distinguish any key tracks/moments. I expected an album called "The Gilded Palace of Sin" by "The Flying Burrito Brothers" to be daring, bold, eclectic. It may have been all of those things at the time for country fans and rockers, bringing the genres together in a new and radical way at the end of the 60s. But it doesn't feel any more special than the other albums already attempting this: Neil Young's early output, Dylan's Nashville Skyline, the Band, even the Byrds' own "Sweetheart of the Rodeo" before Parsons and Hillman broke away to set up the Burrito Brothers. The album feels very of its time to me, and seems more like they were following a trend than making a bold move against the grain. Some reviews (and Wikipedia) seem to herald the album as an exciting crossover between country and 60's rock/soul/psych, which could have been amazing. But to my ears, country is by far the strongest flavour, from the lap steel guitars to the incessant piano trills, simple two part harmonies, four chord strum-a-longs, and generic lyrics. A couple of soul covers thrown in don't do a great deal to change this. And the songs are... okay. "Christine's Tune" gets things going at a decent pace, the two "Burrito" tracks have decent melodies and chord progressions. None of it is offensive or head-turning... but that's part of the problem, it just doesn't leap out of the speakers. It's also supposedly significant for spurring on 70s country-rock bands like the Eagles... I'm dreading them coming up on here.

More American music for American people… I just can’t connect with this stuff on any level!

Nice name

This has a California drug-fueled country rock vibe.

That was a slog. The Hippie Boy story was sort of intriguing but not exactly clear, and the Hot Burritos (two tracks) weren't the worst either, but that's about all positive I have to say about this one.

Enjoyable but not gonna win many awards in my book. Extra 0.5 stars for the name

Bah, normal. Un 3

Much twangier than I expected. Most enjoyed the song Hot Burrito #1. Overall neutral on the album - didn't love it, didn't hate it.

This album worked for me. I like the sound (especially the pedal steel guitar), I enjoyed the lyrics, and it was a lot of fun hearing the originals of some covers I did not realize were not originals. This album reminds me of so much country from 1950 to 1980 that I adore and sent me down a Waylon, Willey, Lefty, Glen, Merle, Buck, Roger Miller rabbit hole. Points docked for the song Juanita where the protagonist, for good cause based on the other songs on the records, is left by a woman. He is going to commit suicide, but instead starts a statutory rape relationship with a 17 year old. Cool.

Several times while listening to the album, my subconscious thought I was listening to the radio and my arm reached to change the station. I broke my rule of no research before a review, and from that I learned that the reason this album sounds a bit like lots of other artists is because at one point or another, anyone doing the country rock thing was either in The Flying Burrito Brothers or was in a band with someone who was in some iteration of The Flying Burrito Brothers. I get that the band is/was important because they are an early example of a band marrying rock and country. But that was also problematic to me because I don't think they did a good job. It seemed too heavy handed, too twangy, too much piano. I particularly dislike the talking quality of the singing in "Hippie Boy" and all similar songs that followed by other artists. Either sing or be a poet, but fuck off with your in between. While I, gasp, like other bands who flirted with country and rock such as the Eagles, I don't necessarily enjoy the bands that influenced them. And the album cover? They didn't hike out to this rural location dressed in gaudy suits, so what are they trying to convey?

Country

So very good. Great covers along with some stellar originals that live on.

No idea on what to expect from The Flying Burrito Bros, but I guess country rock makes sense. Loved Christine's Tune right of the bat, rest of the songs were kind of hit/miss for me though. Its a bit better than the rash of 2/3's I've been giving out lately, so lets call it a 3.6/5.

Bit much following on from Grateful Dead

Can’t believe I’ve listened to this before

Great album, love Gram Parsons.

Some more silly western country music. Do right woman is really good. Very enjoyable actually, a 4 so far. Yea, hot burrito is so good.

This is straight up country. Pass to the damn moon.

Enjoyed hot burrito #1 (Bb minor)

Een klassieker van een country/rock album

I expected and hoped for something more ridiculous from “The Flying Burrito Brothers” Instead I got relatively straight forward dusty trail music. Not my cup of tea, but it’s decent. Wheels I think I liked best.

Oh boy. I like this one!!

Washed over me like another day at work

Enjoyed the music a lot but not a huge fan of some of the lyrics.

A beautiful slow burn. Everything I love about the Eagles but with way more substance. Gram Parsons was an interesting character by all accounts.

I think I'm missing a lot of context on this band, and the album cover does not help. This one was a flop for me.

Great band name. Great sound

The country style is not my taste, although I admire the classic soul covers.hot burrito #2 and dark end of the street are the only sings I liked.

Seminal...

I reaaaaally liked this

Vibrant melodies that flirt with psychedelia and Gram Person's gorgeous vocals make for some great country-rock songs, though the album lacks consistency at times. The energetic guitar jabs on Christine's Tune, the terrific harmonies on Dark End Of The Street and the lyrics on Hot Burrito stand out the most. 3/5.

Nope. Not for me. Boring country. Yes it was influential (Eagles, alt-country) but I don’t have to like it.

I had zero expectations for this record and was really pleasantly surprised. I'll come back to this one.

Not a huge country fan, but the first half of this album was ok. Second half not so much.

Fine. Not much more to add

Pleasant, think Buffalo Springfield with a surfer vibe.

Song #1 - So far it's alright, not exactly my style. Song #2 - Looked the band up and DAMN they had many members. If the next song is similar I probably won't be listening to this again. Song #3 - It's not bad, just won't listen to this again.

While the lyricism was a bit more interesting than the other country artist I've received in Steve Earle, it wasn't enough to pull me into the twangy country of The Flying Burrito Brothers. I did enjoy some of the messier arrangements but again never enough to be engaged by the music. Just really never did it for me.

interesting piece of early classic country/rock

It was enjoyable, it was some old fashioned country rock. Nothing too special (hence why I did not finish the album)

The progenitors of country-rock/cosmic American music create one of the greatest albums of all time and Gram Parsons cements himself as one of my favorite songwriters and arrangers. 9.7/10 Best Tracks: "Christine's Tune" "Sin City" "Dark End of the Street" "Wheels" "Hot Burrito #1" "Hot Burrito #2"

Listened to at least a portion of each song. Tried to like it, but really didn't. No particular reason, just a matter of personal preference.

2/5

Das war mir too much Steel Guitar und Schmalz Country, auch wenn es wohl wegweisend war. Vielleicht noch Mal in Ruhe...

Nett, aber nicht gut genug für die Liste

Die können sich irgendwie schwer zwischen schnulzig und politisch entscheiden. Im Nachgang ist der Bandname das Einprägsamste

Hab nicht alles gehört aber fand es recht eintönig, hat mich nicht überzeugt oder animiert mehr zu hören.

Some nice lyrics, but other than that I didn't really care about this album.

meh. I'm an anxious mess today. inoffensive enough.

bless up

It was listenable but not to my taste. Yesterday was a hIgh ***, this is a low ***

Meh.
