Live!
Fela KutiNot far off elevator music. I guess itโd be ok in the background.

Aisha has been one of my favourite tracks forever, and Iโd always wanted to listen to the album itโs from. Strange that I never recognised Iggyโs voice though. Listened to it a few times over the past couple of days. Not many albums I can both intentionally listen to, and have them in the background while reading, but this works for me.
Clearly Iโm missing a lot on the way of background and/or drugs here. It sounded like unremarkable barely audible wanking on stage, rather than something ground breaking.
After listening to this album, I want to walk up to each of the band members, also them in the face and tell them to cull the fuck out.
Amazing how little it feels like Michael Stipeโs voice changed through all the R.E.M. albums. Also amazing how good this is for a debut!
This album totally had a โstereophonic recordingโ sticker on the front. A long way from my normal listening choices, but actually works for later on a Friday night after a long drive. Such a sparse mix, too. No instrument really gets in the way of the others. Wait. There was yodeling. Clearly some good drugs were being consumed.
Pretty amazing that Iโve never listened to this album before, and only heard one or two of its tracks. Almost country at one point (yes, I know Iโm likely to get murdered in my sleep now). The drums. So simple. So clear. So nice. N.I.B. And Warning are such classic metal tracks ๐ค
So, Moondance is by Van Morrison!? I had no idea. Well, my kids like it.

Had a bit of a similar sound to Coil, but French. Most of the first track had me not really looking forward to the rest. Happily, it improved. One of those albums that just wouldnโt be great on headphones
Driving music par excellence
Peak 80s. Still pretty listenable though. Iโm kinda surprised that I only knew one of the tracks.
Meh
Urgh.
Always love Bowie. Not one of his best, but I could hear hints of Black Star in a few of the tracks
I *hate* modern country music. But this, I can handle listening to. Beautiful voices singing meaningful songs. You canโt really complain about that, can you?
My six year old daughter 10 seconds in โI hate it. Turn it offโ Canโt say I thought it much better, but I kinda understand where it fits in musical history, which is so very much not my time.
Love the songs. Not so much the performance.
Totally not my thing
Well, my six year old approved. Not sure whether thatโs good, or badโฆ
Yeah. Fuck no.
That voice on Fever! It really shows that this is from before people put huge amounts of thought into the overall flow of an album.
I remember finding this album intensely annoying when it came out. There are a handful of good tracks surrounded by annoying crap. Alas, my opinion is unchanged after this listening.
Easily one of the best things to come out of the 80s
Totally not what I was expecting. More enjoyable easy listening than hard rock
Live albums always seem to fall into two categories. Single listen novelties, or a way to listen to music in a raw non-overproduced form. This is the latter. Recording quality is just high enough to enjoy while you get the feel of the energy of the live performance. It still amazes me that Iโd never heard much of Motรถrhead before my 30s, especially given theyโve influenced a lot of the music Iโve listened to all my life.
People listen to this crap voluntarily?
