Songs For Swingin' Lovers!
Frank SinatraIt’s just good music. Sinatra is known for a reason. Very solid jazz album.
It’s just good music. Sinatra is known for a reason. Very solid jazz album.
Catchy and good songs.
Very interesting, I am a fan of Jamiroquai’s vocal style and the upbeat feeling throughout the album with some “slow song” breaks. Definitely a good album to jam out to. Tapers off as it goes, but string overall.
At its worst, this album sounds like it’s made in a garage and posted to SoundCloud after being edited on a Mac. At its best, this album is a masterpiece of modern psychedelic rock and pop. The good definitely outweighs the bad, I really enjoyed this album.
This is a very personal bias, but I cannot fucking STAND how old albums are mixed like this one. Each instrument and voice shouldn’t be in a different ear. It instantly pisses me off. That being said, I didn’t actively dislike any of the songs on this album, but it got repetitive fast. Good but not great.
Wow. This album was something else. The only thing wrong with this album is that it makes me feel stupid for not listening to more Beach House sooner. Listening to it at 2AM definitely helps haha. Not a single bad song. Phenomenal album filled with emotion.
This album makes me want to fire pot shots at the LAPD 👍
Damn solid album, need to listen to more Public Enemy. Crazy samples too.
A bunch of babes making great 80’s pop-rock.
It’s a good three, don’t get me wrong, but the second half of the album, when it gets slower, is not as good as the great first half. The first half of The Black Keys doing what they do best.
The fact that the worst song takes up 10 out of the 35 minutes is inexcusable, but the rest of it is a solid early punk album.
This album suffers heavily from “nothing special” syndrome. I was a pretty big fan of the first two songs, but the album just remained sounding the same. Eventually it got boring and started sounding the same.
It was Ight. Had some pretty damn good songs but nothing blew me away. Solid three, but still a three. B side was better.
Just a solid late 50’s jazz album.
This was just not for me I guess. This wasn’t an enjoyable listen. It just felt boring. Most of the songs felt the same and blended into an hour and twenty minute slog fest. Trim half the songs to make it the best half and only forty minutes and I’d rate it higher.
Slower than I expected, but a very solid listen.
Very solid. I’m still on the fence about the sound of the vocals, but still very solid.
Pretty good at times, very annoying sometimes as well. Overall pretty average.
It’s pretty decent, I’ve just discovered that I am not a 90’s rap guy.
Such a WEIRD fucking album, but good weird. I can’t even give this album a genre. I went into this with zero expectations because of the album cover, but I was very pleasantly surprised.
Simple, but good simple. Just a really good album that makes you appreciate how good Joni Mitchell is.
Pretty alright. There’s a lot to like but it seems like there’s nothing special about this album, not a lot that’s great. This album is mostly alright to good. Solid 3
I was honestly very surprised with how much I enjoyed this album. Very solid songs all throughout without one bad song in my opinion. That’s what having Alex Turner will do for you.
Pretty niche genre of not quite pop, not quite rock, not quite electronic, even not quite hip hop in some places. I liked it, but wasn’t crazy about it.
Some to most albums are just collections of songs, this is actually an album album. Phenomenal and peak soul.
I don’t really feel the need to explain myself with this one.
I will give it some acknowledgment, this album is very progressive for 1968. However, it’s overall nothing special for a rock album, especially compared to other artists at the time. Low to mid three.
Very solid. Most previous members of Genesis evolved a great style and made good solo work, Gabriel especially.
I listened to about twelve minutes of this album. This is music Rodrick Heffley would listen to and that’s not a compliment. I actually dig the instrumentals but I cannot fucking stand the vocals. DNF.
Was pleasantly surprised as I usually don’t like live albums. Love Muddy Waters and this is no exception.
Wasn’t a huge fan of the sound, but still a decent album.
Solid album, high three. Some good songs, but it suffers from the same fate as most Songwriter albums, sounding repetitive after a while.
A nice bluesy album. I liked it a lot.
Weird album. They call anything alternative these days haha. I cannot take this guy’s voice seriously sometimes, but good songs even if they get repetitive.
Very good R&B/Soul album. I am a child for laughing at run Charlie run, though.
Pretty solid. Slower than what I’m used to for REM, but still good.
You know the phrase “music transcends language”? They were talking about this album. Just phenomenal. Peak Jazz.
I liked it, I’m not too crazy about the pop rock kind of sound, but I do like Winwood’s voice.
Not my thing. It’s not that the songs were bad per se, I just did not like it. DNF.
Don’t listen to this while driving. This album was awesome.
Weird, but good weird, Bowie’s usual. Solid album, but not his best IMO.
Just a phenomenal album. Still not sure if I prefer this or Hotel California though.
Much better than I was expecting from a one hit wonder. Very solid album. I like the vocal style a lot.
This is mom music and not the good kind. The kind that you had to listen to on the way back from school after a bad day. Pretty boring overall.
I liked some of the songs, but it does NOT justify the hour and twenty minute length.
Underwhelming and overstays its welcome.
I liked it. It had a good mix of slower and upbeat songs. The 29 minute length does leave a bit more to be desired however.
Some pretty good songs. High three, like the sound, but just didn’t strike a chord with me, especially with the 70 minute length.
Low three. I didn’t really vibe with it and it just felt very long. Not bad, but certainly not good either.
Some songs were great, others were just meh. Evens out to a solid three.
Simon and Garfunkel RARELY miss, and this is no exception. Phenomenal album, the only thing wrong with it is that it’s not longer.
I was NOT expecting to like this album this much. Every song was solid and I love the sound of the whole thing. Even the two songs where it’s just a drum solo are good.
Wasn’t too crazy about this one. It’s a high 3, but it didn’t catch me. Plus Touched is terrifying.
Can’t say I’ve listened to Icelandic rock before. Pretty good listen that got better over time in my opinion. I honestly thought they were at their best when they embraced the Icelandic in them.
This is hard. I LOVE where is my mind, but lord this album was bad. It sounded like generic counter culture punk rock. DNF.
DAMN I need to listen to more Rush. This album was great.
Go ahead, tell me I didn’t get this album. I didn’t finish it, nor did I enjoy it. Some of the songs are pretty decent, but they seem to break off in weird ways as soon as I even start to enjoy it. It feels unorganized and all over the place. The whole message is hard to take in when it’s presented like an ASMR video every other track.
Pretty decent, just didn’t click with me. I liked a lot of the songs, but nothing blew me away.
Some of the songs are sonically interesting and sound good, but the album itself is a slow trudge, DNF, but just barely making a three.
Just a great blues album. I don’t like modern live albums but old ones just hit differently.
It’s a product of its time. This is 80’s synth incarnate, for better or for worse. Enjoy the Silence is always going to be good though.
Just repetitive. It has its moments, but it’s not great overall, doesn’t justify the length of most of the songs.
Not my thing. It was alright, but nothing outstanding in my opinion. Some tracks were more interesting than others, but the uninteresting ones bring this one down a decent bit.
Sadly a DNF. I really liked Blue, but this wasn’t for me. I’d say it’s a high 2, but not quite a three. The best of Joni Mitchell weaves her piano and vocals in a way they feel intertwined, but Court and Spark doesn’t do this as well. It has great moments, but doesn’t match up to some of her other works overall.
Just a phenomenal album. Not much else to say, just peak early nineties hip hop.
I was going to give this a three, but the second half was MUCH better than the first. The mixing is annoying (as per usual for me), but really good songs.
The Grateful Dead has a very unique mix of genres that leads to them having a very distinct sound… that works well with some songs more than others.
I tried. I even gave it the benefit of the doubt because I liked the second track, but the rest just wasn’t good. DNF and I don’t plan too.
Duran Duran are the masters of new wave and this album is no different. Phenomenal.
Extremely surprising for a live album. Phenomenal. My only gripe with it is that it isn’t longer.
A very solid album, although not The Smiths best in my opinion. Obligatory Morrissey is a twat.
Honestly disappointing compared to some of his other works. It’s just okay and that’s not a compliment.
Surprisingly good, I’ve never heard of Echo and the Bunnymen, but I’ll definitely be looking into them after this album.
A very solid album. Not quite a 5 but a solid 4. Every song sounds different and has a unique feel to it.
I feel like if David Byrne sang for any other band, it would sound awful. But, the talking heads somehow make it work. Solid.
Good Jazz album, but not for me. It’s a bit too slow and less structured for my taste. Some people might say that’s just what Jazz is but whatever.
Wow, this was honestly a HUGE improvement over It Takes a Nation in my opinion. Every track was great and filled with energy.
High 4, but not quite a 5 in my opinion. I feel like it will definitely grow on me, I enjoyed it a decent bit, but it didn’t blow me away. I’ll give it another listen some day, but for now, I’m sticking with my rating.
I’m pretty mad I don’t want to give this a 5. The first four songs were peak Aerosmith and then the rest was just good, not great, but good.
CCR is just that good. Phenomenal but short rock album that just leaves me wanting more.
A very sad but high three. The first three songs were phenomenal but the rest of the album was just good, disappointing compared to the beginning.
A high three, but it makes me annoyed that this album falls under the “great at first and then declines” category. Either way, not bad at all.
Very solid album. I’m usually picky with my taste in Jazz, but this turned out very nice.
A solid 4. Every song was different and unique, which The Bee Gees use to their benefit… most of the time.
A very different sounding album. LCD Soundsystem has a very unique sound to his work and although the songs are long, they don’t overstay their welcome.
It was alright. I am starting to realize that I don’t like folky singer/songwriter music that much.
An interesting album but one that I was not crazy about. It’s definitely serviceable, but nothing special in my opinion.
High four, not quite a five. This album rocks, but the long length works both in its favor and against it. Hetfield’s vocals are also a bit weaker on this album, but that’s to be expected with a live album. That being said, this album is AMAZINGLY put together for a live album.
A very progressive album for 1967. It’s got some highs and some lows, along with god awful mixing because it’s old, but it’s a good album, I liked it.
A MUCH better album than Surfer Rosa in my opinion. I’m still not crazy for The Pixies, but a mid to high three for me.
I was honestly slightly disappointed in this album and I say that as a Bowie enjoyer. I think this is one of his weaker works (granted he pumped out a lot of albums), but it’s still enjoyable.
Bowie has his highs and lows in his career, but this is definitely a high. A very good album and shows just how good Bowie was considering he was more than forty years into his career when this released.
It’s a pretty good album, but it’s 75 minutes long. It overstays its welcome and then some. Most of the songs have a similar sound which doesn’t help the length.
Solid album. It definitely has variety even if some songs are stronger than others.
This album has a TON of variety. I got faked out because I didn’t like the first two songs that much, but this is a pretty good album.
Steely Dan just has a great jazzy rock sound that is always welcome to hear. Very solid album.
Leb’ Wohl is a bit too long and I don’t like the vocals. That’s about all I have against the album, it’s very good.
This album sucks. I wouldn’t call myself a metal aficionado, but the vocals were bad, the instrumentals were uninspiring, and the production made it sound worse. DNF.
If I had to describe this album in two words, they would be rough and dynamic. No two songs on The Downward Spiral sound the same. This was a great listen and it gives me great confidence that NIN will do a good job with Tron.
Not the biggest punk rock guy, but this is a pretty good album. My biggest complaint is how it can sound repetitive after a while, given its hour long length.
This album has a very unique and nice sound that makes me want to give it four stars, but the short length and the slight repetitiveness keeps it at a three for me, a good one, but a three.
Pretty boring. Some of the instrumentals are nice but the vocals are uninspiring. Not my style.
I’m not the biggest country guy but this was an alright album. Yoakam does have a really nice voice.
There’s definitely some parts to like with the instrumentals, but I can’t get past Waits’ vocals. It sounds like he’s TRYING to have the cigarette smoking blues singer voice, but it doesn’t land well. Not my style, DNF.
Prince might be the most horny musical genius there ever was. I was in a massive traffic jam while listening and it made it slightly better.
I went in with high hopes knowing how much I love the track superstition, but I was slightly disappointed. Don’t get me wrong, Wonder is a tremendous song writer, but I think this album just wasn’t quite for me, although it was good.
A high three. This album has FANTASTIC moments and some great instrumentals, but as a whole, it’s lacking. Collin’s vocals don’t really add a lot to it in my opinion either.
This album definitely suffers from its length. It has a very unique mix of elements from different genres, but none of the songs really stood out to me.
Pretty good. The instrumentals are basic but charming. The lead singer’s voice, though, can get really annoying at some moments. This album does not feel like a 2003 release a lot of the time though, it definitely has a more 80’s rock sound a lot of the time.
There is a lot to like about this album. Sure, Adele’s singer/songwriter piano songs can become a little stale throughout the 48 minute runtime, but there are other songs, especially Send my Love, that mix up the formula. Her vocals are always impressive as well.
A very interesting album with a pleasing sound to it. I have no idea how to classify this album (or what they are saying), but it was very dreamy at times.
A pretty good indie rock album, it’s a high three for me. It didn’t really captivate me in any big way, but it’s still good music, I liked it.
It was serviceable. I think the vocals were pretty annoying and the instrumentals weren’t my style, but it was okay. I don’t think it deserves to be grouped with the twos.
I love how grandiose this album sounds, even the slower songs aren’t quiet per se. It’s a very solid singer/songwriter album with influences from other genres as well.
Peak early 90’s hip hop. This album is great and will actually make you laugh with the sections of the clan just talking. It is interesting though how I tend to dislike their solo albums, it’s like when they come together, they are so much better.
Comparing this album to American Idiot, I think AI has better production, but Dookie has more soul. Overall I think I like the songs on Dookie better, good stuff.
Starting off, I didn’t think I’d give this a four, but this was a very enjoyable listen. Spence has a very nice voice and the slow but good instrumentals match it very well.
This was not for me. The beats didn’t really have anything going for them and neither do the vocals. DNF.
This album was a ride, didn’t realize that Le Freak was on this LP as well. It has great variety and a pleasing sound.
This album left me with a lot of questions. This is 1968? Why was this so good? Why are three of the four songs more than eight and a half minutes? How many instruments does he know how to play?
This album is unashamedly electronic. Even the songs with samples and/or lyrics in them don’t shy away from their electronic roots. Great variety and very well produced.
Fitzgerald’s voice is angelic, but that’s about the only thing going for this album. The instrumentals and the melodies are pretty shallow and get old very quickly. DNF.
Disappointing, especially considering that Karma Chameleon is on this album. All the songs sounded very similar and not good. DNF.
This album is fantastic. Womack’s vocals and his great instrumentals make this a great soul filled funky listen.
Although I do like Morrison’s vocals, there isn’t a lot that stands out on this LP compared to a lot of other projects during the same era/in the same genre. Pretty alright overall though.
Chic definitely has a style that is definitively theirs, but I don’t think it shines here as much as it does in C’est Chic. Some of the songs drag on a lot, but it was an enjoyable listen.
This wasn’t for me. The beats were serviceable, but there’s a lot to desire in the vocals. There just doesn’t seem to be much substance to this album. DNF.
This was just boring. There isn’t much going for it besides some nice sounding instrumentals, but they are few and far between. The vocals are not good and actively drag this album down. DNF.
This was a very solid album. I was not familiar with the Fugees before this, but I’ll have to listen to more of them. They have a very nice and unique sound to their beats and vocals.
Great album, but far from the Beatles’ best. There are plenty of Beatles albums I’d rather listen to, but I think that says more about the Beatles discography being phenomenal rather than this album being bad, far from it.
You can listen to each song for only a minute and get the picture. It feels like every song is repetitive and way longer than it needs to be, and not in a good way. The instrumentals were alright but the vocals were boring. DNF.
I don’t know exactly what to call this album in terms of genre, but it was pretty damn good. Doesn’t overstay its welcome for most to all of the songs, along with the songs ranging in terms of energy and style.
Absolutely crazy that this album came out in 76. It is weird, but good weird. It is unashamedly electronic, which works both in its favor and against it, but mostly for it.
My favorite Radiohead album. This is fantastic and a work of art. Sadly, the only other album that even comes close to the sound of Kid A is some songs off of A Moon Shaped Pool.
