Bluesy jam album Lots of cool stuff to pick through You can lose yourself in the guitars and/or the lyrics ^^^ very slow pace if that's not your vibe Key to the Highway is one of my favorite long jams of all time Cool mix of standards, covers, and originals Amazing album art Layla is a tragically beautiful centerpiece to the album
Guitar and synth combo is so fun to listen to Feels like the whole band is just on the edge of losing control One tempo - as fast as possible Panama and Jump are 2 of my favorite rock songs I'm embarrassed by the lyrics sometimes The intro to Hot for Teacher is nuts Super short and an easy listen
Huge mountains of sound It amazes me how pretty the guitar solos are Beautifully written lyrics allow me to hear voices from a unique perspective Thematically, it's so dark The singles all ~smack~
Fiery and strong vocals The band sounds hollow and feels super forgettable Costello's lyrics blur the line between "devil-may-care" attitude and sociopathic, abusive asshole who gets pleasure from pissing people off This dude is king of the incels
Perky punk Our Lips are Sealed and We Got the Beat are bangers Everyone in the band is just jammin hard Automatic is a cool song but feels like it's on the wrong album and slows the album down The ways the vocalists interact sound so cool
It's not very good but you can tell they tried really hard I preferred the instrumental versions of most of these songs They could've slipped the Super Bowl Shuffle in there and I wouldn't have noticed "We got all the lines and all the rhymes / We don't drop dimes and we don't do crimes" Guys must've been allergic to 3 syllable words I'm glad that Darryl McDaniels clarifies the origins of his stage name DMC: "The D's for doin it all of the time / The M's for the rhymes that are all mine / The C's for cool, cool as can be" Doin. Rhymes. Cool
Chic Cheer is a bold start Savoir Faire is an incredible instrumental jam Bangers: Le Freak, I Want Your Love, and Sometimes You Win 20+ musicians on this album all just nailin the vibe Nile Rodgers is a legend At Last I am Free is beautiful and amazing Sneaky Luther Vandross No skips
Have had this album on repeat for a bit Cool concept; they nail the mood through the whole album Since I Left You is just a great song Never knew when one song ended and another began Feels like a complete work
Rhythm section jams through the whole album - kept me listening enough times to try to figure out what David Byrne is singing Lyrics are very poetic in a punk kinda way - Thematically it's much more abstract than the title implies Take Me to the River is a banger Vibe is very \"Holiday Club at 1 in the morning\"
HAAaamMBUUURrgerr LAAAaaddyYy Dark but playful soundscapes that I had fun picking through Reminds me of a New Wave film but in an album Weeping is really sad but pretty AB/7A has unsung lyrics but don't look them up unless you want to ruin your day I think outsider art is interesting in general Probably won’t listen to it again any time soon
Just a joy to listen to The quartet creates such full and vibrant music The instruments interact in such a fun way The reediness of the sax is perfect Blue Rondo a la Turk builds to a beautiful climax for an awesome start to the album It's nearly impossible to count time for any of these songs without a guide I had to play Take 5 in high school band and never thought about it again until today I couldn't play it like Paul Desmond tho
Peak Las Vegas show music Horns have a energetic and lively sound Scat really pushes the definition of music but it's a vibe here This dude is down bad and knows it but really seems to be making the best of it Basin Street Blues/ When it's Sleepy Time Down South is absolutely unhinged. The part where the steamboat goes "woo woo" had me dying. The trumpet solo is fun too. There's a part of one song where the band just decides to play In the Hall of the Mountain King for some reason He seems like the friend who always suggests going to a strip club
Lots of B-list bangers on this one Stadium rock is fun; love how big the sound is They figured out how to make the synth and guitar play nice with each other All the singles have a hook that slaps Vocal harmonies are so catchy Animal took 3 years to write; Pour Some Sugar on Me took 2 weeks Didn't Rick Allen have two arms on their last album?
Love her long rambling vignettes The music rambles with her Triggers my wanderlust Beautiful voice Captured by the cover art
Sympathy for the Devil is not only an A-list banger but also an all-time way to start an album Pretty sure these are considered standards at Chicago basement shows The instrumental arrangements are so creative and turn blues into something special
Irish, folk punk - cool The name and the album art are absurd Dirty Old Town is the Virgil van Dijk song and it's a bit cruel of the website to do us like that yesterday Loved following along with many of the stories in the songs If you mention this album to a certain type of Southsider you'll end up talking about the IRA for the rest of the night I'm a sucker for a good version of Waltzing Matilda
The dynamics change on Maesha hits so hard The drums on Blues for Huey are legendary The harmonies with the sax and the horn on nomali are smooth while the keys go nuts Interesting mix of jazz styles
Johnny Rotten is one of my favorite vocalists Big time Elvis Costello vibes ANARCHY New York is an atrocious song So are a lot of them tbh Let’s go ahead and call this outsider art
Super technical Peaceful guitar harmonies followed by heavy metal is cool until you do it on every song Feels like a commercial version of Throbbing Gristle Can't think of a single time I would want to listen to this
If you mention this website when the play Don't You Want Me at Holiday Club this Friday, I'll buy you a beer
What the hell is a wonderwall anyway? I assumed this was a high school English project and was disappointed to learn that it was actually written by fully grown adults I love songs in multiple languages Chill vibes - they'd be great on the little stage at Piqniq
Kinda a crazy listen with headphones Great production Definitely took a couple listens to grow on me Kinda like Throbbing Gristle but everything is a little nicer
I really wish I could hear this album for the first time again Don would look good with one of those haircuts on the cover In My Life is one of my favorite songs Norwegian Wood and Nowhere Man are top tier Beatles songs The deep cuts are forgetable when you compare them to the hits but they're just really solid Merseybeat Isn't he just like you and me?
Saaaaaad folk music Listened to this in the cemetery - big time vibes So simple and so beautiful Vincent, Crossroads, and Winterwood are on repeat Listened to this in the bath - also big time vibes The harmonies in a round on Babylon are great And American Pie is on this album
Saw the cover and knew this would be a banger of an album Funky jazz Crazy they did a cover of one of their own songs (highly recommend listening to their first attempt) Technically wild
Another awesome album cover War Pigs, Iron Man, and Paranoid are all bangers Iconic guitar riffs through the whole thing Geezer Butler must've had a vision of the apocalypse or something Each instrument is competing to be the lead and they're all winning There's a ballad written straight from Hell Feels like a complete piece of art
Easily within the top 5 most listened to albums in my life Would always pop this on and rip cigs while I lived in Europe Morrissey is such an asshole / Morrissey is hilarious Johnny Marr is one of my favorite guitarists The Queen Is Dead opens with a banger drum solo Cemetry Gates has TWO great choruses Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others is absurd Shoutout to I Know It's Over, Bigmouth Strikes Again, and Frankly, Mr. Shankly There Is A Light That Never Goes Out is one of my all time favorite songs
Was very surprised to see this one described as a commercial success 70s synth music hahaha Prog rock is always so absurd Feels like it was written for Broadway None of these songs have any sort of normal structure Dreamer almost smacks
Personal and political soul music Is soul just blues + jazz + heart? Big vibe Lotta jazz poetry on this one Warm sound to the music "GIL SCOTT-HERON" -LCD Soundsystem (Losing My Edge) H20 Gate Blues was a favorite of mine "Richard Daley: imperial, Napoleonic Mayor of Chicago / Who took over from Al Capone and / Continues to implement the same tactics"
I liked the interludes throughout Cool lofi, R+B vibes Nothing wrong with this album but I'm confident I'll forget about it Great background vibes
Naming an album after Marcus Garvey is wild Such a Lyle album
Gotta love some 70s blues rock I love how the keys are tuned Kinda metal Consistent vibe
Production is awesome - must've sounded crazy when it came out It was a Good Day is such a fun song Interesting political commentary Reminds me of Be but with better lyrics than Common but no Ye
These guys jam Nearly an hour long... yikes Vocals are awesome Lyrics are clever at their best but sound like an edgy suburban teenager at their worst Love being a walking abortion
Beautiful lyrics and a beautiful voice sad DONT YOU KNOW talking about a revolutions sounds ~like a whisper~ Love the African rhythms that start popping up later in the album Baby Can I Hold You is an all time 80s rock ballad What else could I add to a conversation about Fast Car Feels complete
Originally listened to the wrong k.d. lang album... Love the way the instrumentation builds in a couple of these songs Huge credit to the musicians for not falling asleep while playing some of this stuff - very simple Kinda hops around a few styles and doesn't really blend any
Big time Holiday Club vibes Love that they just tossed Moonlight Sonata on there Route 66 is a banger of a cover Throbbing Gristle walked so these guys could jog moderately faster Sounds like someone tried to conduct the machines in a factory
