Just so smooth. Who else could get away with a song called Let's Get It On and then a song three songs later called Keep Gettin It On. Unparalleled swagger.
A reminder both of how good Clint Eastwood is and how many other great song are on this album that got overlooked. Tomorrow comes today, sound check, so good
Terrific. Flawless. I could listen to him vibe over a soul instrumental for hours

Extremely raw. The double album is still king.
Not for me but I can appreciate his appeal to men of a certain age
Underwhelmed by the lesser-known songs. Can’t get into it.
No wind up, the first song puts you in directly in the middle of their sound, in media res. I’m really digging this. Grunge-y, alt-rock. Strands of Pearl Jam, Soundgarden.
Kate Bush is such a weirdo I love it. Fave song: Rocket’s Tail.
Essentially perfect.

Liked it more than I ever thought I would. Harmonies, hooks, riffs, the lot.
I’ve heard enough in movie sound tracks and on KHJ to know what i was getting into. Good stuff
Just so good
I think I liked it? Like I liked how the music sounded in my ears, but I don’t know if I would ever listen again.
Bob Marley never really elicits any significant reaction when I listen to him. I dont dislike it but I’m not compelled to keep listening.
Not for me
A good ole time.

Not sure I ever had the patience for Beck before now. I really enjoyed sitting with this album.
5 on the back of the title track alone
Great songwriting. I’m sure the gravelly drawl appeals to certain crowd but I don’t love it.
A significant portion of my feelings about REM were shaped by the scene in Tommy Boy of them singing “It’s The End…” on the road-trip. Michael Stipe’s voice has been incepted into my brain. Overall I liked this album and if I kept listening it would keep growing on me. Also am I wrong in thinking REM is a proto-ska band? So much brass. Highlights: The One I Love, Exhuming McCarthy, sax solo in Fireplace.
Outside of owner of a lonely heart I have essentially zero experience with Yes. They’ve got strands of Rush, Queen and Pink Floyd, though I guess most prog rock bands around that time have similarities. Perpetual Change is wild with that abrupt key/tempo change. Your move might be my favorite song bc of the harmonies. I liked this album more and more as it went along. Starship trooper is a lot of fun,too.
Still just as good a listen as it was 10 years ago. Easily Kendrick’s strongest, most cogent album, from features, production and lyricism. Outside of a few exceptions, skits on hip hop albums are immediate skip material. But these are so integral to the story, Kendrick’s parents bickering on a voicemail, his friends rapping young jeezy lyrics, recreating a hit. The production is so varied and interesting. Highlights: Money Trees, Back seat freestyle, sing about me I’m dying for thirst
Just a snooze fest. Can’t do it.
Clear highlights are White Rabbit and Somebody to love. Grace Slick’s vocals are iconic. Beyond that I didn’t love too much else. Embryonic journey was a really nice instrumental.
There are a whole lot of extremely weird but memorable songs on this album (sexy Sadie, wild honey pie, piggies) which I always though was an odd choice to pair with so many serious and iconic Beatles songs (Blackbird, Julia, happiness is a warm gun). A heady mix. Used to listen to my dads vinyl of this all the time.
