I liked basically everything about this recording, from the careening vibe to the great sample work. Let's get cooooool... in the pool
This is the artistically and technically incredible album that isn't for me. I enjoyed listening to it enough, but I just can't connect to it on a higher level the way I see many people connecting to it. It's also neat listening to it and noticing how many different artists were informed by the wide range of sounds on the album.
Started really strong but fell off hard and Isle of Her almost made me cut this 36-minute album off early. It's kind of like you took that early 2000s indie rock sound but then washed it until the aesthetic faded away. The lyrics are total nonsense. Yes I know the one song is named Gravity's Rainbow but you can't just name a song after a book and have the song be about the book.
Just a truly fun album to listen to.
I don't normally go back this far in Bowie's catalogue but I should because Hunky Dory is an excellent album. It's light, breezy, not too complicated even with the lyrics inviting you to get way too in depth about Crowley or whatever. I like the piano-driven Bowie, and of course everyone loves Life on Mars.
This is awful, and now I also dislike the coconut song. None of this music needed to be recorded and it's a testament to the seventies that this urgently pointless music was tolerated. Be on the lookout for a really insightful song where a white dude asks why we can't just LISTEN to each other, man
I found this difficult to pay attention to.
This was unremarkable.
I enjoyed this a lot! The guitar work is immaculate and there's a certain quality to Nick's voice that makes him very easy to understand and listen to. At 28 minutes it's a good length for a collection of music like this, where you're never really tempted to tune out to what he's saying.
I thought I would like this more than I did because I'm familiar with Black Cherry and Supernature and I liked Seventh Tree despite not being AS synthpop as those two albums. I enjoyed the listen and it gives more context to their later works but Felt Mountain is just a bit too lonely for my tastes.
Aside from the stone-cold classic Dancing Queen, I thought the rest of this album seemed to struggle a bit getting to that level of energy. Still, the songwriting is top notch and each song sounds distinct and has its own little twists and flairs that set it apart from a lot of other early 70s albums.

Absolute classic. I love most of the NIN discography and this is no exception. I don’t revisit it much anymore because I don’t feel the kinds of feelings that led me to it in the first place (something Trent has also spoken about) but the songwriting is still on point.
Good, honest southern rock.
Very special
Felt like being way too drunk at a bad bar after all my friends left
I mean, it’s a good album, but the singles are loaded up front and the following two are like this but even better
nah
absolute classic of the era
Still a classic of its time and one of the definitive big beat albums
It's a bit odd listening to reggae with the instrumentation of late 90s alt rock
