ну норм
че ожидал то получил в целом
æi ... nenni ekki alveg
Not my era or genre of music and this album has done nothing to change that. This album did nothing for me. It's probably not half bad if you are into it. On a positive note its quite a short album
Not sure what everyone else is hearing here. It's fairly rudimentary and short. I found myself relieved when the 30 minute run time was over. I wouldn't count the singles Chain of Fools or Natural Woman as songs I ever get excited to hear either. A bit of a dud album really.
boring
The band sounds great, and the main talent is truly displayed. However, Lady Soul seems to have set the precedent for over-emotive zero-to-hundred vocal performance that characterize a lot of more contemporary pop-star singers. It appeals to the "people", but I guess I'm not a person. Gentle reader of reviews, please forgive my flak towards the so-called Queen of Soul—I'm just not into it, and would sure prefer the more restrained substance of a Roberta Flack.
2+ Stars (6/15)
Ekki fyrir mig
I’m cool on it.
Not my jam
Kinda all sounds the same, even the lyrics are repetitive. There is even a copy of the chains of fools song later in the album, like what the hell
Pretty lame. Almost liked groovin' but it's also not greatly interesting. -S It was ok, but nothing catched my attention -a

You have to be in the mood for soul music, and I wasn't.
On suuri vääryys, että soul on tämän sivuston mukaan yksi vähiten suosikkigenreistäni. Mutta ei voi mitään - tämäkin levy on filleriä täynnä, ja vaikka mukana on Natural Woman, siis ehkä artistin paras tulkinta, kokonaisuus on hieman puiseva jopa alle puolen tunnin LP:ksi.
Eh, I can appreciate it but nothing really stood out to me, nothing I would return to. I’m not gonna write out Aretha Franklin entirely but she better come with the heat the next time I listen.
It was alright
Aretha's a fantastic singer, but I'm not a big fan of her music.
Malright
Not a bad bop. Wailed along to natural woman whilst making a brew.
Mjaa, ihan hyvä lauluääni, mutta r&b / soul ei oo kyllä mun juttuja. Chain of Fools oli ihan menevä, mutta eipä muuten tuntunut missään.
Näköjään näitä ennen LEKA-ryhmää arvostelemiani levyjä alkaa tulemaan uudestaan. Edelliskerralla arvosanana oli kakkonen, tosin vaikea sanoa miksi koska tällöin en vielä harrastanut arvostelujen kirjoittamista. Valitettavasti siedätyshoidosta huolimatta allergiani näitä ~60(?)-luvun amerikkalaisia soulartisteja kohtaan ei ole parantunut. Periaatteessa aidokasta laulamista, joka kuitenkin pilataan överiksi vedetyllä kikkailulla ja määkimisellä. En vaan osaa.
Баба, поющая соул.
The 12th album from Aretha Franklin was released in 1968, and was her third album to top the R&B charts. The R&B and soul music album contained some of her more popular hits - helping it sell over a million copies. Aretha is a fantastic singer and some of her songs are fun to listen to - it's just such a shame I don't like R&B...
not rly into this type of music atm
Meh
Soul ist nicht ganz so meins. Aber kann man hören. Gute Stimme. Aber fast jeder Song Fadet aus
Great voice, well produced but I just found myself bored and willing it to be over.
A šta ženska ima glas, to je strašno. Stvarno odličan, međutim nije mi se dojmio ovako album sad da si ga pustim u slobodno vrijeme. People Get Ready mi je stvar koja mi se najviše svidila, pravo dobra stvar, i mislim da ću se toj pjesmi uglavnom vraćati. Album nije loš! Samo nije za mene u cijelosti.
More soul up next! Coincidentally, Womack makes an appearance on guitar here, as well as Eric Clapton. Although Aretha Franklin obviously had an amazingly powerful voice, I find this kind of big gospel voice slightly bellowy, and not that expressive or enjoyable to my ears. The recording job doesn't sound like anything special here - most of it is brash and lacking clarity (on the 1988 CD master at least, but I think it's the source recording itself), and the songs don't really strike me, other than the amazing \"(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman\" and the evocative \"Good to Me As I Am to You\". Some of the stronger tracks are mildly reminiscent of some classic Motown tracks - but not enough that I would bother coming back to this. 2.5
She can definitely sing, but the songs aren't that interesting. But I expected as much from soul music.
Тоже самое, что и предыдущий
Good
Yeah! She has a great voice! Solid music, too! Very consistent, every song sounds like the next. If you like one, you like the whole album. I imagine.
this sound like jazz and is not my type of music.
ну голос сильный из всего альбома только ain't no way +- зашло
I love you Aretha
no
Not for me
crazy how many songs i know despite it being soul. doesn't matter, though. i don't like soul.
Meh. She’s great at what she does. I’m just not into it.
Nicht mein Genre!
Not for me. 1/5
The iconic songs are indisputable. The rest are best left for a soul fan. I’ll wait to hear the best on compilations and scores. I don’t need to listen to a full album.
Would I listen again: no Best track: Good to me as I am to you. Worst track: people get ready Surprise awesome track: sweet sweet baby since you’ve been gone. Weirdest track: groovin Lyrics: good typical sixties blues r&b lyrics. No skips?: I could skip the whole album respectfully. Cover art cool?: na it’s just a pic of her. Notes: At the outset let me say I have no issue with Aretha Franklin in general and I totally like her voice and every song of hers I’ve ever heard. That being said, I have never sought out an Aretha Franklin song to listen to because I was a fan of that song, I have never heard one that made me say hmm that’s interesting, and I have never listened to one of her albums all the way through. I am hopeful that this album is interesting enough to me to make this listen through pleasurable annd interesting and not repetitive and boring. Am anticipating a fast moving album short songs with funk and groove. But nothing to deep or anything bought provoking. Chain of fools heard the song. A million times but never listens. Drummer is great. The rhythm he hitting on that ride cymbal is great and groovy. Barrie one if Bass vi or whatever it is is great too. Not feeling this version of people get ready. Like this is all great. She great the music is great but nothing here will bring me back to listen to this again. It’s great and I like listening to it but I don’t care about it. I wouldn’t seek this out. I’m not sure why. Nothing I’m listening to will make me a repea customer. It’s good my meal was good everything about it checks out but I’m never coming back to this restaurant because it just doesn’t have anything that particularly stands out to me. I say this while completely recognizing and acknowledging the social and cultural importance of this woman and her music.
Не поёт, а кричит. Не понравилось
