I just can't get past the voice. There is good music underneath just hard to focus on anything but the voice.

He's such a natural musician. Even though some of the elements are overdone when listened with today's ear, it does not detract from the greatness of this album.

Boy, I sure liked this album as a child but doesn't hold up at much as I would have liked. Would be interesting to hear an updated non-80's version.
Common

Stevie Wonder
5/5
I've been waiting for this album to pop up and am very pleased it happened so early! There is no question that this album is 5/5 and I'm sure I won't say anything that hasn't been said about it before. Sir Duke is 1 of the best songs ever. It sounds as fresh today as I'm sure it did when it was released.
Love's In Need Of Love is a great way to start, a sign of things to come. Stevie's voice is at his best in Village Ghetto Land and accentuated with the strings arrangement. Sir Duke into I Wish is so phenomenal, probably the best 2 song set ever recorded! Only to be followed by Knocks Me Off My Feet! Those 3 songs by themselves is enough to garner 5/5! And then the album keeps going!!
Pastime Paradise is strong and of course was famously sampled by Coolio (RIP). Isn't She Lovely is another example of musical perfection. If It's Magic is another great vessel for Stevie's voice and it's simplicity is a nice contrast between more complex arrangements and leads perfectly to As! This is the back end anchor of the album leading to Another Star which is another example of the albums musical diversity. Saturn is definitely underrated and Ebony Eyes is infectiously catchy.
While I don't love every song on the album, there are so many good ones that after finishing I went ahead and listened a second time. This really is 1 of the best albums of all time and I say that even though it is not my preferred genre. The complexity of the arrangements, diversity of instruments and musical styles, and Stevie's tremendous vocals continue to hold up even a half century later!!

Pleasant surprise! Knew the name but otherwise Brian Eno was a gap in my musical knowledge. I missed listening to this album the day it came to me and put off doing a makeup listen because I thought I wouldn't like it. But I was wrong!
King's lead hat is vaguely familiar but otherwise all songs were new to me. The vibe on the album shifts from beginning to end but I enjoyed the transition. Favorite song was By This River. Simple but the melody sticks with you.

So hard to rate this album. I was a teen when it first came out and it was a big fixture of my life for awhile. The talent and quality is still evident all these years later. And yet it is terrible and awful at the same time. I ended on 5 stars simply because of Stan. Very few songs have the capacity to not only tell a story but tell a story that can create a giant emotional response in a span of only a few minutes.
Fleetwood Mac
5/5
Such a good album. I know a lot of people think it's overrated but I disagree. Sets a good vibe for the entire duration of the album. Every song holds up well. Definitely 5 stars!
