I haven’t gotten into blues but this might just do it. I really love the intro part to the first song.
‘I’m Waiting For the Day’ has a solid drum beat
Now I want the vinyl of it
The songs are all really good
“Uh oh, Love comes to town” IS A STRAIGHT UP BOP 10/10
“New Feeling” has a great intro, makes me want to shake my head side to side. Has a good message, I love the riffs in the guitar. I just can’t shake the groove out of me. I can definitely see this song being in a movie. Has some weird highs and lows, but other than that it’s great. 8/10
“Tentative Decisions” has a great little riff intro, the drum beat seems to be really solid, the chorus vocals are really good, but the vocals are kinda quirky for lack of a better word. Ooh I love the second part of the song after the first chorus. Has a good hype up to the next part which is back to the riff then the melody, it’s great composition. Feels kind of like a marching song and dancing song simultaneously. Good outro piano part, with the classic fade out obviously. 7/10
“Happy Day” has an interesting and ear-catching intro, I like the creativity. The vocals are great in this song. The high falsetto notes have kind of grown on me, I guess it’s just a style I’m not used to. I like the intentional pauses in the music, it adds just a fresh little bit to be like “wait what? I gotta keep listening!” And it has good song-writing the rhythm is very good. Writing poems is hard enough, I have no clue how song-writers manage to put in a whole bunch of instruments into a poem and make it sound good! 8/10
“Who is it?”
That intro is just so powerful and groovy. I like how this song manages to have this much repition and still feel fresh and new. I like this love song it really contrasts with the crooning that pertains to most love songs. Very creative. I love the cut-off at the end. 10/10
“No Compassion” has a very interesting title. I don’t know how much this song speaks to me. It has some pretty good drums and guitar but it doesn’t stand out too much to me. It’s a good quality of song for the most part. The last part kind of carries the song with the fade in and out imo it just doesn’t have enough to stand out. 5/10
“The Book I Read” has a good intro and stands out a lot! Really gets me excited for the next part, and I love the piano that they included into a rock song! The singing is pretty awesome. I can’t get enough. I can’t believe he’s living in the future.😮10/10
“Don’t Worry About the Government” has a solid intro, and a good bouncy tune. It’s very upbeat I like it a lot. I just wanna bounce around with this song. Singing is pretty good and fits for the song. I like the ending. 9/10
“First Week / Last Week….Carefree” has a very long title, I don’t know what I expect. I love how spunky all these intros are. The sound that plays at the beginning is very cool. It’s very stand off ish which is what we love to see. I’ll definitely remember this name because of its spunk. 9/10
“Psycho Killer” has a violent name. But when I look at the playlists that are related to this kind of music, they all feature psycho killer, so I have high expectations. Good bass line. I like how it builds with the instruments it draws attention. I love it. Has some good metaphors. It’s very memorable. Great outro. 10/10
“Pulled Up” has interesting lyrics. But they start being pretty uplifting. Good bouncy tune, less bouncy than “Don’t worry about the government” though. 8/10
“Love➡️Building on Fire” is an interesting metaphor and I’m intrigued to see how they justify it. I do not get the lyrics at all… but it has a great tune. 6/10
“I wish you wouldn’t say that” has a weird psychadelicky background noise. Feels nice to listen to. The ending has a weird yelling bit in the back. 6/10
“I feel it in my heart” has a spunky intro. Has good lyrics. I like the boldness of this song despite the lyrics contradicting it. It’s a catch-22, it’s interesting. 8/10
“Sugar on my tongue” is the last song on this album. I’m excited to see how this album comes to a close. Ooh that’s a nice sound of an intro, winding down, coming to a close. Great bounciness. Just what I expect for an ending song. 9/10
Overall the album is a 4.8/5
The album starts off with a bang which is pretty cool. I don’t know about the vocals and the way Cyndi Lauper sings them though, it’ll probably grow on me. It did.
I like the harmonica in the first song.
All through the night is pretty good too.
Girls just wanna have fun is pretty good
Time after time is my favorite song so far
Yeah yeah has a GREAT intro
HEY YA I LOVE THIS ALBUM!
War has a really good middle section with the fade out and in to a different feeling.
The song Church is very good, it has a great flow and drum beat.
Cool album cover
The transitions between some of the songs are seamless!!
I really like the groove of the songs.
First song isn’t that good to be honest. Just a weird effect on talking. 2/10
Snuff is the only semi-acceptable song on the album imo, I just don’t like their style.
Seamless transitions. Some vulgar language tbh. So Many Tears is really good. I like the intro to Temptations. They all sound pretty similar though. Very good lyrical flow.
Death around the corner is really good
Pretty calming stuff. Words are a little unclear at some parts. The end of Little Bird is really good. I like caravan.
Lots of the songs talk about girls objectively :///
I love this album! It is the coolest.
Kinky Afro is pretty good
Great mix of rock and blues.
Really good album. Has a great sound.
Pretty good stuff
Best track: Classic Girl
Feels like rock elevator music. Doesn’t really stand out to me.
Such a good album but I just wish it was on Spotify ughhhhhhhhh :(((((
Freedom Rider just went boom it’s so good. I was not expecting such an outstanding intro from what I heard the song before. Honestly solid frickin album
Pilgrim is a good song
I really like the composition of this album.
Great album, somewhat reminds me of Yusuf Stevens
Best Track: Can You Heal Us (Holy Man)
Seamless transitions
Reminds me of Sing Street (it has a certain kind of umph to it)
It has great instrumentation and vocals
Pretty chill album. I would listen to it to be calm.
Best track: Mother and Child Reunion
Good.
Best Song: Cemetry Gates
Kind of slow towards the end of the album but makes great easy listening
I’m a big fan of this genre and I also love chemical brothers so I’m kinda biased
Seamless transitions.
It is a decent album, but not his best work.
Very long album, with nothing to prove for it.
I think the music is alright but not good enough to listen again.
There’s too much talking and not singing like just make it instrumental or don’t talk.
I really don’t like this.
It is so all over the place and sounds like boss music when covering a 150 year old Russian composer.
It just makes me uncomfortable.
The music is good quality but not put together well.
I really like this music, it’s clean and funky. I might buy this vinyl. It’s smooth and transitions well, has good quality music, great instrumentals, and overall great presentation.
I like the composition of the tracks, I’m a sucker for Paul Simon.
Piano is so good.
I want to buy this record now
Girls & Boys is really good.
I like the style of the music, it is really cool. Good easy listening.
3/5
I need to be in the right mood to listen to it
Some songs are better than others
The album is considerably long so it is a drawback for me
I won’t necessarily listen to this again.
The songs are funky and cool.
I might listen again, but I don’t know because the songs feel “endless endless,” the first ones both being 7 minutes long of similar stuff, making it kind of hard to enjoy.
But hey, good music to be a robot to.
I already have this album on vinyl, it’s pretty good.
I like the music, some songs are really really good.
I would rate it 5 but some of the songs have real weird lyrics so it’s a 4 for me.
I loved the first track “(We Don’t Need This) Fascist Groove Thang.”
This album is overall pretty cool, though I can see how some might get bored after hearing repetitive tunes in some songs.
I like the quality of the music, it’s calming and well done, I would listen to this more.
I don’t really have a favorite song I just like the album as a whole.
I really like this album.
This album is so comforting and calm
I like a couple of the songs but the others are soooo angsty
So funky and weird I like it. It’s euphoric
This album is very controversial and tough to rate. Very homophobic and misogynistic which makes sense coming from his background, but doesn’t excuse these blatantly crude lyrics. So on one side… yikes. And on the other side, he is creative at his art, he puts the words together in unique ways that are really interesting. Overall a tough album to rate.
best song is where is my mind, most of the song just feels like the band goofing around and having a good time, especially with the bits of dialogue
Love how mellow and groovy it is
The whole album is held up by “It’s the end of the world as we know it”
WHAT DO YOU MEAN ITS NOT IN THE COMPUTER?!?
All over the place. It’s alright, not their best album
I love how ethereal it is. It doesn’t feel like music, but something more. It’s an experience. Feels like I’m floating in space and I’m safe at home at the same time.
Not worth 2 hr and 15 mins of my time
This is right up my alley, and is such a great easy listening album. For being the daughter of João Gilberto, Bebel Gilberto did not disappoint. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
It’s basically sonic youth background noise, like I could zone out to this but wouldn’t say “hey look at this awesome song!”
Honestly I liked the first two songs but it's kinda mid
No doubt a 5/5
I genuinely have never heard anything that so elegantly mixes the smoothness and playfulness of music. This is the best album I have ever heard, and I will always remember the first time I heard this glorious album.
I always listen to albums all the way through but I couldn’t for this one. It’s just off putting and the intro was so weird
5 except for the needless profanity in some songs
Sucks, but like one or two songs were listenable
This sounds like it'd be played at Cars Land in Disneyland. I think it is pretty unoriginal cause a lot of these are covers but I can respect the vocal tone and quality.
Not for me unless I'm in a heavy rock mood, it's good for it's genre, a little to bland for me
