Nice guitar! And sad, raspy voice. It reminds me of a person I met in Vietnam, who used to play the guitar in bars around the West Lake. He was blind, but he was the damn best guitar I'd ever heard.
All albums from the Beatles have good and bad songs. In my opinion the best songs in Sgt. Pepper's are the ones you'd expect: With a Little Help from my Friends, and Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds. If the album contained only those two songs, I'd consider it worth buying. Throw a Within You Without You for the Indian funny noises and you can pretty much keep all the other songs out. Okay, perhaps keep the intro and outro tracks. There you go, simplified Beatles.
It was okay. Not my type of vibe, but I liked Night Train. I can imagine watching this live must have ben fun, not the same experience when you're just sitting at home
Favorite song: Midnite Cruiser. According to Spotify, the top 2 most listened songs are Do It Again and Reelin' in The Years, two songs I really didn't feel anything about. Bottomline: This is music. It isn't bad. That's all.
I can definitely hear Billy Corgan in this album. This is pretty angsty, very feminine pop rock. It's a very 90s sound, something one could have listened to on the MTV
Very guitarry, very tropical, very Santana. This is palm beach, coctel, hawaiian shirt type of music. But it's also south-American rhythms, cuba and cigars. And Santana with his guitar in the middle of this craziness trying to make sense of it all. Sometimes, it does make sense. Some other times, it doesn't. "Oye como va" sounds out of place, and I wonder if I have come to actually dislike this song because it feels like an intruder in this bunch.
It's an okay album, I have to say Private Dancer is a good song when you first hear it, but it no longer fascinates me, or moves me. This time listening to this album I found myself going back to Steel Claw over and over.
I don't have anything bad or good to say about this album. It's Christmassy songs. That's all there is to it, at least for me.
Slow. It's like music I'd listen to on a rainy day, sitting by the window, sipping some hot chocolate, and staring at the world outside. None of the songs stands out, it has that feeling that you could just land on any of the tracks and get the same out of it. So, although there's nothing to dislike, there's also not much to like.
Loud, noisy, black, and gangsta. I don't care too much about the lyrics, I feel like I'm too disconnected from that black anger and black power that is reflected in the lyrics, so I judge this purely on how much I enjoy the noise that comes out of my speaker. I have to say, the first two songs are the best, Shakey Dog and Kilo. Crack Spot being number three, and then maybe R.A.G.U...perhaps I just have a soft spot for rap with female voices.
It's pretty hard to stay still while listening to this album. Whether you are jumping up and down to upbeat songs like Every Day I Have the Blues, or you're slowly rocking around your living room with Sweet Little Angel, make sure you have a good stereo system where you can listen to this. Earplugs will just not do.

This is an okay album, the type of music you can play on a young people's radio station. I'm honestly having trouble telling one song from another, but that might just be my neurons getting old.
Loud and echoey, youth but with a little bit of somber. Unfortunately for me it's not sinister enough, so I doubt I will keep them in my favorite list.
This sounds just like a Jim Reeves album. A man, his guitar, and his feelings. This is slow, mellow music that works best if you have someone by your side. Heat up some chocolate, turn the volume up and bring your partner close. Beautiful and simple. Favorite tracks: Born under a bad sign, Ocean, Tonight.
It's an okay album. I'm bad at reviews. It sounds like a mixture between Iron Maiden and Led Zeppelin. Not bad, but not extraordinary.
It's ELO, so you know it's gonna be good. It's happy and cheerful music and yet I feel like it needs to be a little bit more than just ELO.
I didn't like this album very much. It was music, that's alright. But I just didn't feel anything while I was listening to it. Maybe perhaps with I Wish, but the other songs really just sound flat. To me, that is.
Boring. At first I thought this was a British band because of how slow it was. It reminds me of that "human music" joke from the tv show Rick and Morty. It's music that could be played on any radio station, at any time of the day.
It is fine, kinda gloomy sticky moody music. It won't really depress you but it won't cheer you up either. Reminded me of Paradise Lost here and there.
Black and sexy. Sticky sexy. Put this on when you want to get in the mood for love. I can imagine this record is great for date nights. Seafood, candles, open a fine bottle of white wine, and play this record. She'll thank you in the morning. Or not, maybe you have erectile disfunction, maybe she hates Otis, maybe she's sleepy. Then sit down on your couch, finish the bottle alone, and close your eyes while you sink slowly into unconsciousness.
I'm sorry, I'm too hyper for this. It is slow, nice, music for like the intermission in a Jazz club while you wait for the next person to sit at the piano. It is fine, nice, sweet, slow, i'm falling asleep.
Not my thing. I feel like this is music for refined north american alcohol drinkers, a sort of mix between folk, western, Leonard Cohen and Lee Hazlewood. Listening to this made me felt like I was in one of those road bars you see in American movies, with Harley Davidson bikes parked on the front, a billiard table, and animal horns hanging from the walls. It's not bad, it's just not my scene.
Decent music that you can use for television shows. It's not particularly striking, it is actually rather bland (in my opinion). Not an album I would pay to listen to.
Rock/Heavy. Or is it? Songs like Alma Mater would be difficult to classify under rock, they sound very mellow and pop-like. Blue Turk sounds like being in a Jazz club after midnight. And the finale...the Grand Finale indeed! It was pretty sweet. Is it a disco song in an Alice Cooper album? It does sound like it. Favorites: - Grand Finale - Luney Tune - Blue Turk I checked statistics in Spotify and apparently "School's out" has 120 million plays, whereas all other songs have under a million. It's a shame that so many songs just fly under the radar because they don't appear in a movie or get picked up by radio DJs.
The way he vibrates his voice when he sings is so annoying. Best example of this is "Behind the Wall". Definitely not the sound I like. Also songs like "Talkin' Bout a Revolution" or "Fast Car" are just so mellow and...ad-friendly. Not my kind of album. Totally forgettable. Also I could have sworn this was a man singing. Not that it changes the fact I don't like the album. It's just a curiosity.
I left this playing on the background and at one point I totally forgot I was listening to an album from the "1001..." list, and I thought I was just listening to one of those lo-fi youtube videos that I play when I'm working. Nice, boring, gentle music.
Nice guitar! And sad, raspy voice. It reminds me of a person I met in Vietnam, who used to play the guitar in bars around the West Lake. He was blind, but he was the damn best guitar I'd ever heard.
It was okay, had a few good tunes but Jazz is not really my thing.
Okay. It was mostly atmospheric and kind of weird, which is just normal seeing how this is a soundtrack for a sort of depressive movie. I'm not sure why this is so highly praised. The summary for this one says "In 2019, Pitchfork placed the album at number four on their "Top 50 Best Movie Scores of All Time" list". I have absolutely no idea how this album could have made it to the top. Maybe that's why I'm not a music critic
I think I was expecting something a birt "dirtier" but maybe I was thinking of Nine Inch Nails. This album definitely doesn't sound like my kind of stuff, it's too mellow and just sounds like...well, just, music. That's all. Nothing remarkable.
Definitely not my thing...I could see myself listening to this if I were sitting in the corner in a dark smoking bar, drinking whiskey, and being heartbroken. Other than that...this just sounds like "alcohol in a park bench" to me
Four or five times I played this on Spotify and after two or three songs it just became part of the background noise and I really didn't think of it until after Spotify jumped to completely new songs and I remembered that I was supposed to be appreciating this album. So, completely forgettable.
Good. Sounds a little bit like Bowie, a little like The Ramones. I think New Centre of the Universe is my favorite one. Not an album I see myself coming back to.
Pretty dynamic, it reminds me of sounds from Queen, Elo, or Oingo Boingo. Probably a good album to listen to while driving. Favs: Dontcha stop Moving in Stereo
Pretty dynamic, it reminds me of sounds from Queen, Elo, or Oingo Boingo. Probably a good album to listen to while driving. I listened to some other albums by Slade, and I absolutely loved them! Favs: Dontcha stop Moving in Stereo
It reminds me of old songs I used to listen to when I was a teenager. Maybe that's on purpose specially on songs like "Help the aged".
Funky, steamy, good for love making.
There's this youtube playlist of songs from Playstation 1 games called "Playstation jungle mix" and it sounds exactly like the songs in this album. So, quality-wise, this is videogame music. Not saying it's bad, but it's just not very remarkable.
Some good songs, but nothing memorable - at least not to me. Also, I kinda hate that "Running Up That Hill" has 1 billion plays on Spotify simply because of that dumb show stranger things. Awful awful stuff. There are better songs, like Cloudbusting or Under Ice . Just my opinion. Overall an album that I listen to, I don't dislike, but nothing that I would add to my list of favorites. That spot is for Wuthering Heights.
It's another hip hop album, which means there's a lot of singing about dicks, niggaz, and threats to their rival musicians or gangsters. A few moments stand out like the chorus of Ms. Jackson, or obviously the entire Bombs Over Baghdad, which has a banging rhythm but it's more of the same "I told you I was awesome, didn't I?" It's not terrible, it's not fantastic. It's fine.
Reminds me of the Grateful Dead and Janis Joplin - This is a happy American folk band that brings to mind the sight of people wearing cowboy hats, touring different small towns in rural USA, big farms, silos, a cow skull hanging on the wall of a dinner. Very American vibes. Favorite: Dont let the rain bring you down
It's definitely a sound that is aged, not in a bad way, but I can clearly hear the pass of the years when I listen to this album - there's something about it that sounds "old", but I like the way it makes me feel. It's not a bad sound, I actually like it. But it's there. My favorite songs: - Up around the bend - I heard it through the grapevine For some reason this album feels like something I would listen to on a long drive.
Never been much of a fan of the Beastie Boys. They feel...messy, the sound is too dirty, too hyperactive for me. I don't know why they have to make their voice sound like they're far away from the mic. I guess I just don't like them. That's fine. For me, they're background music, something I would play in a bar or in a skate shop, just to have something playing to fill the deafening silence. Or maybe something I would play on a long car ride during the summer, because they feel somewhat "beachy"
I listened to this album four or five times and honestly afterwards I couldn't really describe it to you. It's just rap. Instrumentally, all the songs sound exactly the same. It's the same type of repetitive beat, and it might be just because I don't have a musical ear but all the rappers also sound the same. I didn't realize it was like 5 or 6 dudes singing until the end of Can It Be All So Simple when they went through each one of them. I see this as a testimony of the passage of time. Back in the days, apparently, this album was amazing. I guess we have come a long way since then, because any kid with a laptop and some free time can make a better album, in my opinion.
It's okay music, I probably will never be able to listen to "Hello" and not vomit remembering all the people who became obsessed with this song when it came out. But now the fame and popularity of the song have dwindled, and I think it's easier to judge the album. It's just bland music - love songs, Oh my god you're the man for me, oh my god I'm sorry you broke up with me when I was so awesome and obviously you couldn't catch up with how great I was, etc etc. There's a few good moments here and there, for example I really like the beginning of Million Years Ago, I like her low singing there, and the chorus in Sweetest Devotion. However none of the songs really hit me like something unique, something that I wanted to put in any of my playlists for future listening.
Instrumental. Funky. New York city. Streets. Jazzy. Black sound. It's a good album to make love to...I guess? I can imagine it would be fun to be humping to the tune of "Radio 7".
It's fine, i don't like this style of singing that sounds just like talking, it feels like there is no passion riding on the sound waves. But it's only my opinion. I have the impression that his voice can be really amazing but he just perhaps needs to refine his style a little bit more. Having said that, I listened to his two more recent albums (2022 and 2024) and he seems to use the same style and he sounds the same, so I'm not sure if I will ever like one of his albums. But that's fine, I am just one person with my own opinions.
I won't deny that the rhythm in these songs is catchy, but I have a problem with all the niggas here and niggas there, and the drugs, bitches and weed lyrics that just keep coming out of the speakers. Specially seeing how awful the situation is in the US for black people, I definitely think this music only adds to the problem. Kids listen to this shit and think "Hey, I finna be a nigga like Snoop!" next thing you know they're getting shot in the streets for holding. Some things in the world are just not necessary. I think, honestly, that gansta nigga rap is one of them. We enjoy it because it's dirty and foul, because he's singing about all the women he nuts in, all the bitches he gets on his dick. I honestly think our society doesn't need this.
Listened to this album three times, I can't remember any songs
I imagine myself in a poor-lit bar, surrounded by teenagers smoking heavily and chugging one beer after another. Posters of bands like The Who or The Clash decorate all the walls in the venue. Lots of kids wearing black shirts and leather jackets. A girl wearing fish net tights and black lipstick. I would probably skip the rants about religion, those sound pretty dumb to be honest.
It's fine music. I listened for this over and over and I don't have a very strong impression about it. It's soft, chill, candle light music.
It okay. Sounds a bit more 90s that 80s, it's got that plastic, synthetic feeling that I get sometimes from Huey Lewis or Phil Collins
Very poppy, very feminine and the lyrics are kinda boring and bland. Girl music
