Hadestown
Anaïs MitchellWhat ever you think this album will be, it will surprise you.
What ever you think this album will be, it will surprise you.
I'm not sure what I expected but I definitely didn't expect it to be this fun.
Tragically under-rated
70s psychedelic rock hath been unleashed on my mortal ears.
Imagine the worst person you know made an album and other people liked it. Good for them, but I'd rather not hear it again.
It's time for nouveau jazz, if you're into that.
A good jazz contempo album
If you want new grassy blue country, this is for you.
Dreamy new wave
70s party country music. Jimmy Buffett is low-key my nemesis, so this is not one for me.
This was a fun romp!
Community theater dropout musical. If you want a long prog album, this is for you!
Haunting prairie melodic punk
This is an example of cut over from the last century. So many albums have come after it that it sounds banal at this point but was not at the time.
What is this death cab? Who is this cutie? This takes me back.
Chill music
90s lady power!
High energy punkpop
70s arena rock for you.
Imagine the worst person you know made an album and other people liked it. Good for them, but I'd rather not hear it again.
It sounds like a combination of random cartoon music, Eric Cartman, and if a ska band was introduced to even more horns. Not my cup of tea, but maybe for someone else.
Music to vibe with
Your college band got a record deal!
Music that your grandpa used to woo your grandma
If you're up for a whole concert of the boss, this is for you.
60s sound with raunchy lyrics.
I heard a lot of "kids these days aren't as hard as we were" and this is from the aughts. This proves that everyone thinks the kids aren't okay.
Stadium rock
Fun and noisy garage rock
Mr E's beautiful blues
An unexpected enjoyable album
A good, nay, great relisten
It's dance music to watch cartoons to. It's a miss for me.
It's like TMBG for more modern theater kids
2000s indie pop
Tragically under-rated
Unexpected!
What a weird and fun listen
Portland shanties
This music is a vehicle for beer pong and bong rips.
Supreme dad rock
Angry music for math nerds
Men in fancy blouses playing psychedelic rock
Interesting modern jazz
So many bangers on this album
I was not expecting an Edgar Allan Poe concept album.
It's 2 hours of live Phish. Buckle up, it's all of the trappings of a concert without any of the common extracurriculars associated with Phish.
Chill music and beautiful lyrics
The level of noise that one would expect by the band name.
Australian garage band, if that's your thing
Are you ready for Jonathan Davis to do even more Korn? I wasn't.
Another good relisten
Jazz is not typically my musical genre of choice and yet, I enjoyed this.
I missed this album when it was released and am glad to have listened to it now.
Puerile and funny!
Socially conscious punk
Interesting background music. Some of the songs were interesting enough to want to replay and some sounded like a robot's idea of jazz.
Folk lyrics with more modern instruments. It didn't really hit for me.
70s psychedelic rock hath been unleashed on my mortal ears.
Sad party music for sad party people
Because it's Childish Gambino, it's great.
Even more French than Air.
A great re-listen
Semi-experimental folk but more
Forgettable 70s
Are you ready for weed party punk music?
There are a few songs that I recognize but never knew who it was. Nice addition to the list.
Forgettable pop music to me.
Someone is really living out their best 80s bubblegum pop dreams by recommending this album
This album represents the mid-aughts girl group turned solo artist. It's not my thing but if you're into that sort of thing, here it is.
This is for lovers of Evangelion and pop music. I will likely not listen to it again but it was a nice excursion into music that I do not typically listen to.
Grimy 90s garage rock!
I'm not sure what I expected but I definitely didn't expect it to be this fun.
This was an interesting listen and super enjoyable.
I bet you didn't know you needed a 2 minute amp up courtesy of a song about husky bathroom habits.
Go in knowing nothing about this album
The album cover looks like bro-Talking Heads. The music sounds like proto 80s indie rock.
Another great relisten
Love to hear it.
This one made no impression either way on me
Why pick a musical style when you can use them all? This one didn't do it for me.
It sounds like a modern 90s punk band
Cool 90s pop!
What ever you think this album will be, it will surprise you.
Lofi with great lyrics
Unlike other folks with filthy lyrics that manage to be clever, these are just filthy without the clever.
It sounds like Australian Bruce Springsteen and I feel like there is enough of him on this list.
I'm going to have to say no to this, Billy.
Ethereal instrumentals and soothing vocals = more of this!
Childish Gambino gifted us this.
Another good listen from Sparks
Scandinavian trance fusion - this was better than I would expect by the descriptor!
90s hip hop and a worthwhile listen
70s semi-psychedelic
An enjoyable relisten
Chill bluesy folk
Too cool, jazzy album
I can't judge this fairly due to my despising country music. If you look at some of the one liners? Amazing? But then you add the country requirements of twang and whatnot and I can't. 3 stars for the one liners.
A-okay background music
Mid-aughts call back to the 90s
A beautiful and haunting album.
Dirty rockabilly
The marching band grew up!
The 80s wanted to drop a little taste of rock for you
Vaguely country and rock and pop and yet not hitting any of the notes that would make this album succeed for me.
Beautiful elements of French jazz
I didn't know that the lead singer of the Crash Test Dummies was following this project just to submit this album. Real review: are you ready for an irreverent album that misses the mark? Buckle up because it's 45 minutes of pure torture. Bring a friend and torture them, too!
It's a moderate party in this album
Mildly experimental indie
Not my cup of tea but beyond that, the guitar work displays technical mastery.
"Hey, it's me! Your bland mid-2010s progressive rock band." -The Dear Hunter
Fight me, but this sounds like if 70s Genesis had formed in the 60s.
Observe some of the song titles and giggle with me. Aside from that, this album rocks harder than the cover album would indicate.
