I was honestly very much vibing with this album until the second half started when I heard his voice and couldn’t push it out. I think at the beginning the music was really impressive and recognizable and I was able to push the singing away but after awhile it’s hard to ignore. I really like the first few songs and live aspect, but his voice is just so difficult to get through.

People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm
A Tribe Called Quest
This album was just too long, and too repetitive. Every single song they took one line for about 30 seconds and those were the only words they knew and it got really old really fast. If it had been at all interesting it still would have been too long of an album- I don’t need over an hour of this. The only reason I’m not giving this album a 1 is because I understand how this album could be influential and there is (some) talent, but definitely not my thing.

I understand that the first and last songs ate incredibly well known and influential. However I shamefully admit that this album wasn’t what I thought it would be. I thought it was going to be hard classic rock but instead we got a mix of country and something else. Maybe I listened wrong or am way off, but I was disappointed!

given that I have my Spanish final exam in less than three hours this was very helpful. It was my only studying tactic, so thank you very much Siembra I do like Spanish music. I’ve never have anything against it and I really think it’s a nice thing. However, it’s not my favourite just because I can’t really relate to the actual singing about it because I’m not fluent however, I did enjoy this album.

This is one of those albums where I wish there was a better scale (1-10), because a four is too high in comparison to the other albums but a 3 seems poorly reflected.

I feel like this album happened but I didn’t really listen to it if that makes sense. I feel as though it just went by and I had it going but can’t recall. I believe it was average and usually ai would notice if something was outright horrible but there was absolutely nothing memorable about this.

I know some say he’s the greatest singer and blah blah but oh boy was this a snooze. I’m sorry but listening to this in the morning was a bad idea because it was putting me right back to sleep. My one positive is that it was relatively short but one more minute and I would have collapsed. I mean I just can’t get past how boring it was, I’m sure it was good but I just can’t get over that.

I’m sorry but I really didn’t ask for white noise. This felt like their first studio session and they’re doing checks on instruments. This did not appeal to me at all. I believe I don’t have amazing authority over what should be considered great music and not, but I just don’t see how this is.

The song was actually amazing and shockingly, I’d never heard it before. It really was just incredible. I feel like the album definitely fluctuated for me and there were a couple au was skeptical of but Stephen Stills really has a lot of talent and it shows here. I would definitely listen to him any time.

This album was actually quite relaxing to do work to and it kept me going but didn’t put me quite to sleep, however once I stopped working then I kind of got slightly bored by it. I don’t think I would ever pick it to listen to but it was nice to have non distracting background noise.

So this album was actually very peaceful and relaxing to listen to. I think it was a little boring for sure after a couple songs but towards the beginning it was just calming and honestly pretty. I feel very neutral on this album and I’m not sure how to rate it because yes it was nice but I 1) don’t see its influence necessarily or 2) it did bore me towards the end. I think if I had the time I would listen a couple more times but for now I’ll give the benefit of the doubt.

In all honestly I have no idea why this album is on the list. I feel like his band would be considered more ‘influential’ rather than his solo career. Despite this, it is a fun album. I’ve never considered myself a huge JT fan but i’m not one to say this isn’t a vibe. I’m familiar with the two famous ones, and other than those I don’t believe I’d heard of any of them, but I was bumping along to them all. It’s definitely a conflicting rating because I did really vibe but I just don’t think it compares to a lot of the incredibly significant albums on this list. I feel a 6/10.

This album not only consists of a straight row of hit after hit but also is so recognizable and incredible. This is the exact representation of an album that should be on this list with no complaints. Whether you like this album or not there is no denying the influence that this album had and continues to have on the music world.
