A Christmas Gift For You From Phil Spector

Popular Reviews

Fuckin weird and kinda loved it. Like sgt pepper crossed with os mutantes

Iris Demint vibes. Old girl country or modern girl indie.

Probably my 4th or 5th choice of a White Stripes album for this list. Is it good? Yes. Does it need to be on this list when there are for sure 3, maybe 4 better White Strips records? No.

Shit. The hippies found the flanger.

If you crossed The Bends with Andrew Lloyd Weber.

Good. But there are similar records I like better.

Fine. Some good tunes once you get past the boomer nostalgia hagiography.

Perfect for a grey dreary day.

I understand why it’s on the list.

60s guitar blues. Eck. Less than week in and already a Clapton album. Might need to rethink my commitment to this project.

Yep, sounds like the 90s

Didn't expect to like it....loved it!

A bloated classic. Would have been a great single album.

Turns out I don’t don’t hate the Doors music, just Jim M. A Doors instrumental album would be top notch.

I have never felt so physically revolted by the sound of music.

Is this really what white boomers were listening to?? I feel embarrassed for them.

Bratty. I like it!

Fuckin weird and kinda loved it. Like sgt pepper crossed with os mutantes

Sorry Paul

Sounds like the 90s

Just don’t let the tears water my whiskey.

Still a tough listen with how overplayed this was in the day

A high 2. But I wouldn’t listen again.

I get why this is good, but it’s not for me.

Met expectations.

Iris Demint vibes. Old girl country or modern girl indie.

I wanted to likes this. But the hard H before every vowel is too distracting.

30 mins of filler + inagaddadavida. And inagaddadavita isn’t that good. Ok it has a great riff and some good organ. Still.

Derivative but fun to listen too

2/3 punk and 1/3 post punk

Almost a 4.

Sounds like generic mid 90s rock. Cross between Oasis and Lit? A few ok songs, but nothing special.

Is this Irish Arcade Fire?

On the 45!

Like a lesser NFR.

Booooooring

Bono?

I should like this, but I just can’t get into it

Kinda boring

The inoffensiveness is offensive

A 70s lounge but with someone occasionally stepping on a cat.

Perfectly adequate music

A perfect encapsulation of Metallica in 1999: bloated and unnecessary.

Not as good as other CHIC records

This is where the hold steady got it

Wow. Never have I heard music that started so good be so thoroughly ruined by a terrible singer. Unlistenable.

Thoroughly boring

Some killer, some filler

Patti Smith is punk as fuck

Inessential

Sunshine of your love and some noodley hippy bullshit

I like that it’s weird, but it’s not good and I don’t want to listen to it

More than a feeling and a bunch of bullshit

Like how the dinosaur evolved to birds, this is the ancestor of boy genius.

Aunt Tupelo?

Sounds like 2007 alright

A cacophony of voice

I fuckin hate Fast Car and refuse to listen to this album on that basis. One star. Fuck that song.

Nice inoffensive 60s pop. This Will Be Our Year is a stone cold classic.

I respect the influence. Not something I'll listen to often.

Never listened to this before but somehow know all of the songs. Flaming Lips esque

If you crossed The Bends with Andrew Lloyd Weber.

Eh. Not for me.

So much influence.

Probably my 4th or 5th choice of a White Stripes album for this list. Is it good? Yes. Does it need to be on this list when there are for sure 3, maybe 4 better White Strips records? No.

I really wanted to like this more, but man that guy sure has an annoying voice.

Great name. Great cover. Unlistenable.

Foundational

If Eddie Van Halen played bass in a jazz band

This music fucks. I need a cigarette.

I found her vibrato triggering

Fun listen. Inessential.

It’s the Beatles, but it isn’t a no skips record.
