What you'd expect from EW&F + some prototypical party rap, wow
Night by Night and Charlie Freak are out of this world
Amazing Jazz pianist; in particular the opening track throws you into chaos and resolves to a reliable relief of assonance and consistent rhythm. But not all tracks astound so much as the title track. This album is also notably held back by the recording quality of the day-- its very fuzzy and in some songs you can hear musicians humming or keeping the beat. Keeping in mind the day and age this was released and the target it was released for this is near perfect. It might have difficulty holding up to modern production standards.
Solid throughout, didn't wow me outside of the few prog-metal type influences.
Was not expecting to like this at all based on the title and the first notes; was blown away by the end by how much I appreciated the blues here. Not an everyday listen still.
Slow burn is OK Lonely weekend is not my jam Butterflies is OK Space Cowboy is OK Mother is not my jam Love is a wild thing is not my jam Happy & Sad I didn't notice Velvet Elvis - disgust Wonder Woman - bored High Horse - this is neat Golden Hour - didn't notice Rainbows- OK 2/5
4/5?
Cool for history, not cool for me
Its some slow jazz
This is good; its fairly aged but would have been my jam in 78 (5/5??)
Woah 5/5!
Can't dig it. I'm sure it was somewhat of a new sound at the time, but it sounds like worse buddy holly to me; most songs have only one thing going on. Do you wanna dance, Help Me Rhonda, I'm so Young are OK.
Pretty cool, groundbreaking without losing popular appeal
Starting to hear some yes-type sounds; interesting
super cool
In 1966, this was probably neat, and the recording quality is good and the compositions are solid; but the songs all melt together, and I don't want to sing or dance, or feel a significant emotion from listening to them.
Great production and vocals; very distinct style
It's a very nicely produced album with a big emotional swing; and I can see getting lost in it. But, I don't think individual songs really work by themselves. It's a great album but I wouldn't go back to listen to any individual parts of it for entertainment, and couldn't put it on in the background either, as its too interesting for other things to be happening during it, unless you're alone and not doing anything else.
It's ok; giving a little bit like bowie
