Cloud Nine

This soul music album has a psychedelic spin to it - since it was released in 1969 - and is the ninth album from The Temptations. The spin worked, earning 1 of the 2 hit singles a Grammy, and confirming that this is the change the group would stick with for the future. Soul music isn't my genre of music, so that affected the rating.

Naw. Seemed disjointed. Give me neo-soul, not psychedelia-soul.

Hm... sounds oke, but... nah

Not really my thing, but recognize the importance.

Nice 60's funk vibe, but i feel it too old. Best song ,,Cloud Nine".

Tuttu nimi ja joitain tuttuja biisejäkin. Harmillisesti tämä nyt vaan ei ole yhtään mun genre vaikka ihan laadukkaalta musiikilta kuulostaakin. Harvinaisesti kuuntelin tämän vaan kerran läpi, koska en kokenut saavani mitään uutta irti lisäkuunteluilla. Ihan kiva mutta ei jatkoon.

4/10 - GOOD VIBES

Pretty good album. Probably progressive for the time but not overly interesting with no memorable songs 2.5

Happy music...very funky. I love their song „Papa was a rollin‘ stone“. But generally not my type of music.

A couple songs I enjoyed, but overall not my thing. Much more into the KC sound than something like this.

Not my thing

bro warum so viele reine Männergruppen aus den 70ern? Finds langweilig sorry

hate the mama sound effect, would be a 2 otherwise

Una canción buena en todo el album. Aunque muy buena eso sí. Single material, like mi ex.

1. cloud - 1 2. grape - 0 3. uuild - 1 4. love - 1 5. girl - 1 6. leave - 0 7. need - 1 8. love - 1 9. uuay - 1 10. uuin - 1

Shockingly awful

Meh meh meh wop

Funky wah wah sound….different from their rather formal early smooth love songs. Lovely voice. Fave track…Runaway Child. Enjoyed.

Maybe too much funk for me, sounded all the same

Not my style. Rating is purely personal, this does zero for me.

Not gonna listen

Tento album má nezaujal prakticky ničím. Mám rád iné ich pesničky.

No es mi estilo at all. Música de fondo

Derivative pop made worse by strings

- Another band with a history of abuse towards women (before this album?), but since it's a new singer here after they kicked the other guy out, I was thinking maybe this album should get a pass, but 1. They did try to bring the other guy back for a minute or two, and (more importantly) 2. The lyrics of the songs have a "hey little baby girl, I sucked, but I need you, so how about you don't leave this abusive relationship? No? I'll keep harassing you until you give in, even though you've moved on and are with someone else!" vibes. Dude, just leave her alone. Gross. - The lead singer has a nice gravelly voice. The other guy with the high voice is rough - so strained, thin, and out of tune. - The instrumentation has a pretty chill/laid back vibe with a nice groove/bass, especially. - Most of Side A bored me (the title track was definitely the highlight) -- the cover of I Heard It Through The Grapevine isn't even catchy, and no thanks to a forgettable song being almost 10 min long and including an "I want my mommy" thing, ugh? - Side B is more standard Motown, but it is still pretty boring and continues with the problematic lyrics throughout. I don't think I'll remember any of the songs, and I'm definitely not adding this album to my collection. - I was considering a 2 at first when I hadn't listened to the lyrics, but the coercive & infantilizing lyrics are a hard no.

no

nah

Not my vibe

My ex liked this one. No thx

Classic, just not mine

Shite

I don't like this type of music it is good but not for me. 2/10

Worst. Album. Ever.

Soulowe zamułki, nic co mnie porywa, ale dość przyjemnie się słucha w tle. Zmęczony jestem taką niewyraźną muzyką.

Good me movin', but I don't really like it at all Didnt even listen to all songs

Zeitdokument, aber nicht mein Genre!

Cloud Nine Runaway Child, Running Wild

Not for me

This was sooooooo boooooorrrrriiiinnnnggggg but an impressive number of times to write the same song

Not really my kind of music. Too jazzy

60’s don’t care

Nothing special, no disrespect to these gentlemen

stop

totalnie nie moj styl, master tez jest dziwny i zle sie tego slucha, moze na starym gramofonie by to bylo przyjemne

Old

I was expecting to like this more. Like, a lot more. I know The Temptations are iconic, but is just sounds like a group of really good solo singers who try to support each other when the others have a solo. What bothered me most at first was realizing there was some really bad mic technique in the studio. The singer pulls back from the microphone on the title track “Cloud Nine” to reveal the size of the untreated room. At first, I loved the vulnerability of it, but then I started realizing some of the background vocals were pretty poorly arranged as if the group were a mediocre a cappella group who didn’t know how to around parts. Some of the musicians on the track absolutely slap, but to me the good was overshadowed by lifeless lines of melody and soulless solos that sound like they are there just to have sound playing in the same key. This just isn’t it. I can’t believe I am rating Taylor Swift higher than this….

I didn't really enjoy this. Felt dated and overly long despite being a short album.

Love the vibe of the first song already. Very funky indeed. Like that there are different vocals. It was fine, I enjoyed it, just not my genre I guess. Second song has great background vocals. Also the main singer's voice is remarkable. Eddie has a listenable voice, but Dennis - genre-appropriate. Third song is 9 minutes? What do they have to say that much. Love the weird start. The deep voice guy should sing more. I love the chaos they create with their voices all together. I feel like the longness of the song is unnecessary, also the cry-singing was not good for my ears. 4th song is sad, was started by the deep voiced guy(not sure), continued with the soft voice one(worst). Album has a beach vibe, makes me relaxed and stuff, but not worth it overall(again not my genre so). 5th song has the same instrumentals in the background, I must say that I love that it's different from the modern bass beats. I haven't mentioned any meanings(i usually do), because there's not much to it, mostly about love, though First song might have been about drugs. 6th has exactly same vibe, Bob Marley vibe actually. Theme is love as I hear it. Nothing unique to me. 7th song and no deep voiced guy, not good. I'm bored, but these are not the songs I should be deep-dive listening to so it's expected, liking the vibe just, it's not it. 8th song has again great background vocals, best part in the song probably. 9th has am amazing start, going basic after. I do not like his voice, can't blame myself. 10th and last song, I have to say I like the way he says "woo". The trumpet is nice to hear also. It's permanent wave, no bridge, no different chorus, or beat change, just the same vibe, I get why people like this but I do not. Sadly this is my first 1 star album, vibe was okay, but too same, I low-key get why this album is here, it's just not here for me.

Not my jam

Tired

Felt too slow for my liking

No real bangers on this one, at least not that I'm aware of

Ihan silleen bulkkihyvää, mut miks just tämä albumi... Epätasainen tuotanto myös. Runaway Child, Running Wild oli ainoa, joka kuulosti aidolta ja hyvältä

good but didn't take

Cba

Donc, comme je disais, il y a Cloud Nine, le reste, c’est de la bouette. Haha !

À la base, je ne suis pas un grand fan du groupe, mais je comprends pourquoi cet album est sur la liste vu le changement de direction par rapport à ce que le groupe faisait. Il y a certaines bonnes grooves, mais dans son ensemble c'est un peu long et ça ne me donne pas envie d'y revenir. La reprise de I Heard It Through The Grapevine n'est pas vraiment réussi pour moi.

I was, to put it mildly, very disappointed in this album, was expecting something else I guess and this...was not it. And that version of Grapevine, a tuna casserole of a song.

Not good as others

Loved the guitar in Cloud Nine. Loved this band growing up. They have better albums
