Never to be forgiven for the jingoism of Okie from Muskogee, for it persists in country music to this day. Reeks of resentment when not stinking of sentimentalism. "I don't like country music, but I don't mean to denigrate those who do. And for the people who like country music, denigrate means 'put down'." Bob Newhart
A double album comprising one spectacular album of 8-10 songs, deserving of five stars, and a mediocre album of 10-8 songs.
The vast majority of hiphop is boring and without vision. So is this.
Paul Rodgers? How can you miss?
Although the grooves are mostly borrowed, at least they're there. But to drown them out in all that busy-ness and buzziness empties the whole experience. Ultimately, it becomes mind numbing fluff.
The other day I gave 5 stars to Rust Never Sleeps. Imagine my surprise when I played this for the first time in my life. I actually enjoyed it. I guess there's two kinds of passion in music: ragged and dirty (Neil) and precise and sweeping (xx).
4.5 only because Sister Morphine, like most drug songs, is only good for titillating adolescent boys.
No one like Neil Young. "After the Gold Rush," "Rust Never Sleeps" and some many other exceptional songs and albums. Great voice; original guitarist; decent lyricist. But jesus: Ralph Molina's drumming just continues to bore the hell outta me. Hence: 4.5/5
Some of his later material, such as "Pure," is so much better.
Forgettable. In every sense.
Ask yourself why Eric Clapton wanted to join The Band after hearing this record. They re-wrote the recipe for serious rock. Theirs isn't the only recipe, but it's one of the best.
Yeah, sure. Okay. But country music is universal like my stubbed toe. So why should I dwell on it?
Soulless.
Should be a"5" but Dusty Springfield likely had no control over what record companies used as filler for an album. So, it's not as good as "Dusty in Memphis".
The principles of this so-called 'art' are rudimentary, at best. Simplistic rhythm section and unpolished, usually simplistic poetry. We're aware this type of "music" comes out of an impoverished environment. Impoverished and oppressed by predatory capitalism, of course, though its practitioners rarely , if ever, address that. It's regrettable that the billions of dollars made by the pretend moguls and their patsies can't be reinvested in the communities which spawned this style. Maybe then the reliance on jury-rigged technologies can be overcome and real musical instruments and instruction and real musical invention can come back.
There's wimp rock and then theirs dumb rock. This is dumb rock where screaming seems to matter. Don't ask me ... I've never had the luxury of shutting down my brain.
Just more tedious Brit pop. If only these drummers understood the difference between 'drummer' and 'percussionist'.
If only for the lyrics of "Adam Raised a Cain"!
Loe Reed's chanting is an acquired taste that I've never acquired. Nevertheless, Bob Ezrin's production and Steve Hunter's guitar make this record listenable.
Tom Waits' music is strange. But, there is no shortage of strange people. Some also make music, which is often strange. But none of this strange music, other than Tom Waits', cultivates the strange. Impregnates the strange. Raises it to the sublime.
So tedious.
Btw, are we all getting a kick outta the listener who keeps plagiarizing - usually just wholesale stealing - reviews from all music.com?
There is no album by any artist in this musical genre that is more revolutionary than this one.

He's a Jewish bluesman, descended from Jeremiah and the boys. If you think he can't sing, you probably think Howlin' Wolf can't sing or that rabbis should have to take singing lessons from Barry Manilow.
More interesting than most so-called "synth pop". And more than just "synth pop".
Pleasantly surprised by this. Not "grungy" at all, thankfully.
If I want to listen to Scott Walker, why not just listen to Scott Walker?
Nicky Hopkins on "Monkey Man". It doesn't get any better.
A double album comprising one spectacular album of 8-10 songs, deserving of five stars, and a mediocre album of 10-8 songs.
This is not terrible, as some reviews suggest. At least most of the songs are different and the percussionist is not a zombie.
Tiresome.
No one does this kind of pop as well as The Turtles.
Worth it just for "Sulky Girl".
Wimp rock.
That boring English 80's percussion.
This came 2 days after Sly passed away. Fitting.
Still so tedious.
Average rating is within 0.15 points of global average.
