Nicht meins!
First 2 songs were good, rest was absolute pish.
If the Tesco Meal Deal combination of ham sandwich, ready salted crisps and water was an album, it would be this. Bland as hell
So boring.
I actually really like this. It's a good one. But it's not a 2.
nah…
Did not listen
1 - It's blues, so I'm bound to not like it, and like it I do not. It feels very of its time in an aggravating way. What an annoying album.
Really bad
Man miss me with this boring bullshit
Country ...
Why is there so much country on this list? Why is this album, the most generic thing imaginable, on this list? Why am I even bothering to write a review when this was unlistenable? 1
Meh, not a fan.
No thank you this was country
Well that just wasted all of our time.
one-star raitting
Nope. Never liked her music, never will. Over-raitted.
There’s nothing wrong with it, I just hated listening. Also the drummer screws up the fill at 2:55 on I Will Not Be Denied.
Right from the start this album brings back memories of a darker time. When Thing Called Love came on, I threw up a little.
Judging by the album cover, the year and the fact I've never even heard of her, I'm guessing this might be country. It thankfully doesn't start out being country. It starts out being obnoxiously 80s. It does go on to become country, which is unfortunate. A few hard skips in there, but it finishes up with an actually decent blues track, and Tidal algorithmed onto her singing with John Lee Hooker which is always a bonus. That said, I will literally never listen to this album again.and asides from one fairly decent blues song, there's nothing of merit here for me.
Meh, shite 80s country-pop. Not for me
The 80's have been a bit of a musical blind spot for me before starting this project. Fortunately, I was able to discover some splendid, ear-opening post-punk and new wave from the decade. Unfortunately, I've also gotten the occasional soulless, drab, cliched snoozefest albums, like Nick of Time. Imagine going to your favorite pasta restaurant, bringing home a take out container of their specialty - fettuccine alfredo, then washing off all the sauce, and eating just the plain noodles, with but a slight hint remaining of what was once a rich, creamy sauce. On this album that's exactly what Bonnie does to country music, and on one song - reggae. One plate of cold pasta out five. 🍝
totaaaal niet mijn ding sorry Sommige liedjes wel grappig maybe maar nu dat ik er zo over terugdenk kan ik me echt geen enkel nummer meer bedenken
I'm not a country fan, and this just sounded to me like generic 80s middle of the road country fare
Very pedestrian. Plays it so safe that moms around the world rejoiced. But for me, it's so bland, it makes laundry detergent look exciting. Blah.
Pretty awful stuff. I'm in need of severe ear cleansing now.
Sometimes the 80s were great. Sadly, this was dirge.
Hmm is this country?? I don't country much. Okay good, Google says she's "an American blues singer and guitarist." Lets give it a listen. Well it def has the 80s synth sounds here and there. Sounds country to me, but tolerable. It was nice. Probably not something I'd revisit. But I didn't hate it. 2 stars
Aburrido
Shite
like Stevie nicks off wish.
Raitt shit
Make it stop. Please.
Terrible
Oh wow, the artwork screams of 80s clichés! Curious what'll happen when she pushes the button on her belly. I don't recall hearing Bonnie Raitt before, she seems a good Country singer, with a fine head of hair, but this album wasn't for me.
Kind of ballady country-rock/pop
I don't have anything nice to say about this. It's the lowest common denominator of music, country or otherwise. It's music for people who don't have any of their own thoughts in their heads. I'm mad I had to listen to the whole thing.
I didn't enjoy any of this
This was terrible. It sounded like a house band for an 80's hotel bar. Not one good song.
Not my cup of tea
Extremely boring album. I didn't find one song that I liked and I really struggled to finish listening to this. Bonnie Raitt doesn't have a bad voice and the instrumentals are not bad but somehow all together it feels bland. It's pop country and not enjoyable
Nope
Absolute dross
This is too over-produced for me. I listened to her 1971 release, and while the production was better, the song-writing was still lacking.
Wasn't into it
Pensioen-pop. Gatverdamme!
It's not for me.
don't mind a bit of country, but not this kind
This is an over generous score.
Bonnie Raitt is an American blues singer, guitarist, songwriter... Eso dice la Wikipedia y si uno se queda con solo la visión de este disco sería algo terrible. No se si es por el punto que mencionan que fue su décimo disco que era un pseudoregreso después de haber tenido muchos problemas pero es lamentable esta situación. El album se siente totalmente sin caracter, suena a "tengo que hacer música de moda" a más no poder... se sonido de teclado ochentero tipo casio para niño de primaria en el setting "ocarina," todo el arreglo del disco con las peores partes de los vicios de la época, la música suena plástica, sosa y apagada, el bajo totalmente artificial; se siente como una mujer completamente fuera de su elemento y creo que no hay mejor expresión que la cara que pone en la portada para expresar mi sentir de todo el disco. De todo el disco a final de cuentas solo dos canciones son escritas por ella, la primera, que es el sencillo famoso y en mi opinión la peor canción del disco, y la última que muestra un atisbo ligero de que aquí hay mucho talento pero perdido no se en dónde. Disco triste, con unas pequeñas ventanas de canciones tipo blues rock pero bajadas de tono y otras totalmente siguiendo la moda (que incluso para 89-90 ya se siente obsoleto el estilo en mi opinión) al grado que solo les falta una trapper keeper para intentar verse relevantes. En verdad no entiendo cómo es que este disco es tan aclamado. Mucho menos entiendo este disco cuando voy y veo la OTRA música que tiene Bonnie Raitt... De verdad ruego vean este video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rHATfTpLre4&ab_channel=Bonnie%27sPrideandJoy y comparen el talento y la energía de esta mujer, casi treinta años después de este disco... a los 67 años de edad y ver la calidad de su música y su talento y compararlo con lo que ofrece en este disco... es de verdad incomprensible para mí.
Nunca había escuchado de Bonnie, ni alguna de las canciones de este disco. Su historia personal es interesante, pero el disco se me hizo X. Ni siquiera me dieron ganas de terminar de escucharlo...
o lordy crikey o'reilly
no point of listening
Nää. En dålig kopia av Dolly Parton? Då åker sågen fram!
