This was my first time listening to an Elvis Priestley album. I had heard best of and compilation. It was great, I felt I got it for the first time. I think it will go in the home roster.

The first track is a decoy.

Funkier than I thought. Enjoyed the samba influences

I liked how it segued in and out the South African music at the start of the end.

Makes me happy. Listened a few times as I felt the grove

Of its time. The intro on Lazy was a snoozee

You feel the Quincy Jones production throughout. Liberian Girl is my favourite, not keen on some of the backing vocals.

This was my first time listening to an Elvis Priestley album. I had heard best of and compilation. It was great, I felt I got it for the first time. I think it will go in the home roster.

The entire album felt like it could be on a Café Del Mar compilation before they were a thing, so ahead of it's time?

Nope

American version of the French Touch

Production is very busy, like the musical interludes. Lyrics good Music feels samey

Grunge's baby step, still sounds fresh

I liked it, will require a few more listens

Pretty but samey

Nice

I only ever heard single from Lupe Fiasco before, this is rather good.

Sounds from where it's from, no real standout

Don't think it will make a lasting impression

I wish I could hear it for the first time again and have my mind blown all over again.

Samey samey.

The cover versions are unnecessary fillers. This is the only song titled The Power Of Love that matters

Nice surprise, you can feel the influences of Isaach Hayes and John Williams.

One of my older sibling use to listen to it when I was a kid; not a fan then and not a fan now.

Someone listened to the Beasty Boys

Snappy

Or when Khaled reached out to the world, not my fav of his.

The first track is a decoy.

More contemporary take on the desert blues.

Charming

1998 in a bottle, played at every single dinner party I attended that year, but gets a bit boring.

I only knew the singles. I had to check how old she was when this was released aa some of the lyrics were a bit teenagey at times. Won't knowingly listen again

It really stands out from other genre albums of the era

Could not make it through it

Punky pop,etill sounds fresh

Made me wish I was listening to Kid Créole a couple of times

More interesting than I expected.

I had never heard it before, I don't think I would reach out for it again;production was a bit bland.

I can hear how they influenced a lot of artists

Cheesy but not good cheesy

One tone

Good but not great Mariah

It is timeless.

It's my second Rod Stewart's album, and I have come to the conclusion that he always sounds the same no matter what he tries it is either shout or not so shouty

I can't stand the rain is an amazing track, but the album is unfortunately MOR.

I've never intentionally listened to Cat Stevens yet every song is somehow etched 8n my memory

They often feel like the forgotten British band on that ear, solid effort especially when one remembers how young they were when this came out.

I seem to only know Ms Franklin from compilation album, big mistake! Soulful, voice like no other, it has been added to the library.

A bit all over the place.

Beats are boring. I gave up

Wait till you see them perform it live.

Better than I thought it would be. Not original but well executed

20+ years later, I am still suffering from Play fatigue.

I think I prefer their first album. It's good but because of the repetitiveness of some of the best it becomes a bit of a slog towards the end.

I struggled at times with the jazzy interludes.

Pleasant

The ubiquitous album of that year.

Bit of a mish-mash

Still sounds very fresh. That Eno touch👌

It's a journey

One of my fav albums of the period, really love the orchestration

Contains some synth classics.

This is where it all began. Prior to listening I had not realised how ingrained in our collective consciousness, this album was. You may not know or like that genre but the chances are you are already familiar with the work.

This is so good, I wished it was longer and that I had seen him live.

Very parred down, maybe heralding the return of the saxophone.

I struggled at the beginning but glad I stuck with it, not sure I'll revisit soon.

A good debut

I understand why I love it that much when it came out, Shirley Mason's voice stood out in a sea of Brit Pop.

moving, alway witty. Peak Dolly

The stitching skills to make all seamless👌👌👌

I only had one listen but will want to explore further. I can't believe I wasn't familiar with this. It's good the prog Rocky tendencies could get on my nerves

Classic

The first 3 songs are classics but it feels dated, they sound like a lot of their contemporaries the only distinction is the accent.

Not a massive fan

They are too often overlooked but this has classic written all over it and once you hear it you realise its influence

Morrisey being Morrisey.

Forgettable.

I thought I would love this but found it underwhelming.

The guitars were amazing, will have to dwell further

Of its place.

Match made in near heaven

This album came up a few days after Morrisey's Your Arsenal and you really notice what the other 3 brought to the party. Rythm section was tight, johnny Marr s guitar was stellar.

I always hear something new

It was familiar yet I do no it remember actively listening to it previously.

He has a great voice, leaning towards soul but very poppy

Classic

It was not the XTC I am familiar with, but enjoyed the folkiness

Sublime

I don't get the love.

It's fall listening, cosy, akin to wearing an old jumper.

The sound from outer space.

Could it be that I actually like Dylan?

The simplicity of the music allows the words to shine

I was not expecting these guitars.

It did sound a bit stereotypical, probably as it became a template for other artists but it was good.

Quite mellow. The Changes and the Kendrick Lamarr presence on Walk On By are the stand out moments.

What a calling card
