Enjoyed it - especially’thinking’ the instrumental

I like the inner city sound of the record but couldn't relate to the lyrics.

No me interesa nada líricamente. Muy hijo de su época, muchos arreglos, pero para mí de mucho menor gusto que otros coetáneos. Meh. Eso sí, las líneas de bajo que van saliendo por ahí molan mucho.

Lots of soul and funk. 5/10.

Mola el estilo pero el disco no es muy allá.

I feel bad giving this a 1. It’s not that bad but it’s not my cup of tea and I have to admit I starting to find it really irritating very quickly, I don’t know why really.

I really wanna see the film now to get more context for the album. He’s a very talented vocalist, fantastic range. Fav song is ‘Freddie’s Dead’.

Again, not my jam

Not for me

i was just thinking freddie’s dead sounds like such a movie song then realised the album literally is a movie’s soundtrack think instrumental is sweet i feel so annoying cus all these albums are just gonna be rated 1 for me 😭😭😭

скукотища

Very uneven. There aren’t many soul albums that hold up all the way through and this isn’t one of them. The falsetto gets very monotonous.

Shoo fly don't bother me

Here’s a thing. Whilst listening to this I clicked on the album review. As nothing musically interesting was occurring I again kept clicking on links. Lo and behold I found out that if you clicked on the star distribution chart it changed to give the total percentages of 1001’s votes against each star. Amazing unlike this album. I therefore join the 2% giving this album 1 star. 1/5 30/12/25

Boring

Entspannte Mukke. Nicht mein Fall

Fine background music, but too unstructured for my tastes. Superfly was the only almost banger.

Not for me.

1972... probably fighting with my brother. Fucking pissed off with my parents. Can't wait to grow up a bit more and get the fuck out a trauma ridden, neglected household. Fuck the lot of them. Saving my own fucking soul is about as close I came to any fucking soul.

Dont touch my soul

I really don't like the vocals. Overall, this is too samey and repetitive. Nope, not for me.

Maybe the film was superfly but this album was superlame

Couldn’t listen to it

Can't be bothered with soundtrack albums. Also not my favourite genre.

Doesn't make sense to listen to in it's own. Was a movie score for a reason.

Not for me

Awful. If I had seen the movie it may have been better. Seems to be about a black man selling drugs? Lame. Not sure what the rationale is for placing this on the list. Certainly could have died happily without hearing it.

Better than the Temptations but still not really hitting it for me. Very 70s

Boring, 2/10

Hated it

Not for me

why are we still here? just to suffer?

Un autre soundtrack…Pas super bon. J’imagine que c’est ce qui a popularisé l’artiste. Je n’aime pas le mix, particulièrement le traitement de la voix. Freddie’s Dead groove pas pire par contre. Donc pour moi, le seul intérêt de cet album est pour la pièce Superfly qui m’est mieux connue comme étant un sampling utilisé dans la pièce Egg Man des Beastie Boys sur Paul’s Boutique.

I was extremely bored.
