My dudes. This was a great start to this project/experience. I was listening to this album while working on the trailer and it really put me in a great mood. 10th Ave Freeze Out, the second song of the album, has a nice swingin' groove to it that I found very motivating.
I'm rating it 4/5 for the nostalgic classics on this album, the solid music, and the positive vibes.
So far... I can feel a slight headache coming on. At the same time, I feel rage and power! My favorite part of these songs is when they slow down and chill out for the "breakdown" moments. Finally, a moment to catch my breath.
Lucretia is fuckin rad.
Ahhh. It’s finally over. 2/5.
"When I first saw that today's album was Bob Dylan, I had high hopes. Perhaps I should've been high, like Bob might've been, to turn those hopes into actual satisfaction." The Jennings Chronicle.
"Each song had a similar melodic cadence to Dylan's meandering voice, often searching for a place to settle on, before being whisked away by the next verse." - The Buda Bugle
The intro song is killer. I'm getting retro-alien wartime vibes. The band may or may not be aliens posing as humans. So far really enjoying it.
The B-52s exhibit a crisp rhythm section with staccato beats and ever-present synths, unique and dynamic vocals, and exciting flow in each of their songs.
In their third song "Dance This Mess Around" the female vocals are making me feel something... All jokes aside, they've got serious skills. They know when to keep things simple, and when to dial it up and get noisy (in a good way).
Rock Lobster. My god.... the vocals in this song. What is happening?! So far they have impersonated: stingray, manta ray, jellyfish, dogfish, catfish, searobin, pirana, narwhal, and let's not for rock lobster. This one was a wild ride that I was buckled in for and enjoyed the entire time.
The B-52s were a refreshing blast from the past that I was unaware I was missing out on.
Deep Purple is one of the pioneering heavy metal and classic rock bands of their time. With that being said, I hated it.
This was a tough one to get through for me. I tend to avoid “noisy” music that provokes visceral reactions.
Where would I see myself listening to this? The future, after society has collapsed and I’m battered and torn and in my welding shop crafting weapons to stave off bandits. For that reason, and also because there’s no other music left and I have no choice.
Never heard of this band until now. There’s a constant dance in their songs between textural dissonance and serene ambiance that I find difficult to fully enjoy at times. I am not sure how my bloody valentine achieved this unique sound, but it’s definitely unique and deserves respect.
Where would I listen
This sounds like an 8-bit orchestral classic rock band with punk lyrics. I like it.
Never heard of Hugh Masekela until today, and I'm grateful for this experience! Part Of A Whole was a great intro. Lots of dynamic sound was giving me PAO vibes.
The second song, Minawa, is a gem that fuels my soul. This is the stuff that warms my heart, encourages me to enjoy life, and allows me to slow down and really feel all there is to feel. In the first half of Minawa, the balance between silence and the peaceful melody of Minawa brought tears to my eyes more than once. I'll definitely listen to this song again next time I go for a walk on a beautiful breezy day.
There were a few times throughout the album where it got a bit too "jazzy chaos" for me, but those moments were short-lived and usually endcapped by the theme of the song.
Enjoyed this album. Need to give it another listen though.
Lots of white noise and feedback that generally doesn't satisfy my brain. There's already enough noise in my noggin, this only amplifies that.
Happy to listen to The Boss again, however, his second song Into The Fire was definitely too "Christian Rock" for me. The whole album was a bit of a bore. Hahaha.
This was good. Shoudlve payed attention while listening.
I'm 15 seconds in and I already enjoy it. Half way through the album I began to lose interested, the guys voice was a bit lackluster for me.
I’m diggin it. Lots of energy, fun tempo, a bit repetitive at times with the lyrics but it works.
This one felt like a refreshing classic for me.
Three songs in and I'm really enjoying it. My favorite song so far is The Sinking Feeling. Super fun walking bass and nice rhythm all around.
First song is great. The lyrics remind me of "I Can't Die" by PAO, a commentary on African American death in America. It sounds like the modern band Blank Pumas draws inspiration from Curtis Mayfield as well.
A few songs in and it's been filled with emotion the entire time. I'm feeling it. After a while the constant falsetto started to get old, but it was at least done well.
This was a nice refreshing classic.
Abba is fun, and I didn’t realize I was familiar with so many of their songs. However, not my favorite. It all just felt a bit generic. Sue me.
Haven’t heard this album in quite a while! Cocteau Twins create a musical dreamscape with unique distortion and reverb while blending each musical phrase together. At times I wish I could hear the lyrics more clearly though and I do wish they diversified the sound a bit more.
I did it. I listened to an album again. This was a fun one to jump back into. Fun variety of emotions and intensity. Much of it felt vaguely familiar too.
This was fun to listen to while working on the trailer. Like Bruce said, so many bangers! I didn't realize I was familiar with so many of their songs. Would definitely listen again.
First song is immediately giving me The Sandlot vibes. I dig it.
Good, easy listening. Wasn't quite my favorite, but no complaints!
Simon and Garfunkel, didn't think I'd enjoy them so much!
