Fun, albeit a bit repetitive.
Relaxing, chill. Some songs that i like, nice.
It's curious: they have a unique sound that somehow carried within their albums, that's probably associated with Dave Grohl's voice and emotion. But, at the same time, they also have some other sounds different from what I've come to expect from them. ¿And a bit of the Nirvana sound, in the guitars and repetitive lyrics in some songs?? IDK
Seems to me like standard synth-pop. I mean, I don't know jack shit about this genre, so it's probable I don't get its importance. Anyway, it's nice, but it doesn't have anything special.
It's incredible how good this album is
Groovy, a bit repetitive. I don't really know too much about it's influence.
Amazing, experimental, incredible that this was from Chicago.
Folky, slow, chill. I guess the impact from this album is that is a female country singer and the lyrics seem to be personal. But it feels kind off slow and a bit boring to the end.
Wow.
Dense, complex, but also really accessible to people like me that only like the musical part of the songs.
It's this kind of works that reminds me of my limitations, as I cannot understand much of the meaning hidden in the English language. I wish I could understand more.
It's somewhat prophetical and really forward-thinking with some of its notions. But at the same time the flow is kinda boring and has a boomer song, that doesn't grasp the media and focuses only on "the tv"
It's a mixed bag, i guess.
Kind of chill, but I don't really grasp what makes this album worthy of being in the book. Maybe is my lack of knowledge.
Really enjoyable, even without knowing too much about the band or listening to them little. Something interesting is how their sound is so far from Joy Division and even other albums that they made?
Fun, energetic, short songs, great hits.
Intense, rhythmic, really fun. I liked it a lot.
Really felt like an improvement in front of their previous album. Less repetitive but maintaining what makes their music so catchy: drums, guitar and something?
quite interesting how this album has many rock variants at that time. Nonetheless, the lyrics are emotional but not that interesting? IDK
She has a good voice, and you can tell effort was put in this album. But the sound of the samples and that 80s kind of style (?) sounds atrocious
Some of these songs seem to be referenced or notorious, but the synthesizers are too much 80s to me
Nice, happy. Iconic songs.
It has some really nice songs, nothing bad in the others.
Ehh, nice but not remarkable.
Something about famous artists that you've never listened before is that you probably will understand why they are so liked. I don't know anything about him, but i can sense the emotion and the quality of his music.
cold, and dark, and ominous. And with some bangers. But thats it, for me at least
It's fascinating, the music from the Beastie Boys. Their flow, the way they sing, combined with the choices in the beats and the music, make them special. Nonetheless, I liked more the instrumental and musical decisions, more than the lyrics, so in that sense, I probably would like more their earlier albums.
To some extent, good. A lot more experimental and complex that I could have expected
this is not folk, this is actually interesting to listen
despite being folk, it's so calm and easy that is really enjoyable
i don't like his voice. kinda monotonous, but not that bad
good, but the mixing and quality of the music leaves a lot to be desired
i've find myself quite fond of some country bluesy classics. This is great stuff
Really enjoyable, albeit a little bit monotonous
Listening this album, and reading about it, you can understand why it's so high regarded. It's fun, well recorded, and it's a good way to listen to the band for the first time
nice, chill. cool. idk what to say
good, but that Sixteen song hasn't aged well. And it makes feel weird listening to the rest
chill, nice. You don't feel the length, it flows easily
almost as good as Duke Ellington at Newport. these live albums are great, energetic and have really good performers
Something notable with some hiphop albums is that, the ones that i like the most trascend the lyrical part. This is one of them. i don't usually care about the lyrics, but with this one, i can feel invested because the beats and the musical part is superb.
Despite not really connecting with the songs from him that I had listened before, it's a really fun and cool album. Even without getting how is he that popular, the music is not bad, and can make for a comfy afternoon
I remembered it a lot weirder. It's not. But also, it's not my type of singer.
Really cool. Chill, relaxed, good.
Nice, chill. And the principal song, lmao
Wonderful guitar playing, but felt a little bit long the album
enjoyable, eclectic to some extent and comfy. really liked that guitars, and Shangri-La
it's like a warm blanket. but not too much warm
really cool. I really like their music, and its influence can be seen i other artists like NIN
better in total, but kind of passed me in it's meaning
really useful to get into something and focus
i really enjoyed it. night vibes
it has an interesting context and it's enjoyable musically. but it's a bit long
more soft and sentimental than expected
it's great to listen to someone that can sing really well
truly somehow the way i'm feeling now
classic, some famous songs
probably the best way to enjoy some metallica songs even if you don't like them that much?
enjoyable, albeit a bit repetitive in the second disc
eenrgetic, fun. not the best that i've heard, but probably due to not liking the songs that much
interesting, experimental. kinda trippy. but weird that they are french?
chill and nutritious. really enjoyable
i like the second part more
not what i expected, but okay
really fucking cool. but Jailbait 🤢
really good, with a classic hit. enjoyable
another set of bangers. I think the obvious issue with this band is how much their songs feel the same. It's not bad if you like them, but if you expect something more or don't like them, it's a big problem
impressed. i knew Bowie took many stylistic approaches through his career, but this is one that i didn't expected. really enjoyable, hopeful and good to me right now
With albums like this, I understood that I don't like certain type of 80s music. In some new-wavish style with eclectic instruments, synths and repetitive drum patterns that are interrupted occasionally by baffling decisions in the form of quirky noises.
But this, at least it's not as sonically insulting as others. It's well thought and complex, pleasantly.
despite the hate for this band, i find myself baffled by how good they are. i think there's some merit in their music, long from the plagiarism and popularity. And how most of the songs here slap, i think that's the reason
besides A Forest, gloomy and pretty meh.
Cold and sleepy
I haven't realized until now, how intense, sweet and contrasting is this album. dreamy lullabies and intense rage and fury, at the same time.
Bittersweet and divine, in a classic gods sense.
I probably wouldn't like her as a person. But I get how incredible is this as a debut album, with the lyrics and her voice. It's powerful, and despite feeling strongly about some of the things, it's proof of the intensity and honesty of her experiences.
i remember reading about how Matt Bellamy from Muse got inspired to sing despite having a tenor voice, thanks to hearing Jeff Buckley. I think this goes beyond the vocal range, and has to do with how honest, vulnerable and sensitive it's his music. Every time i hear this album, i'm mesmerized with how powerful it is.
I think i feel the way he felt. Listening to this, with better headphones than the last time, was an intense experience. His voice makes me cry. And i'm thankful for that.
quite varied, a lot of genres and well executed.
I couldn't connect with it despite that, sadly
for such an interesting name, it's kind of similar to the Beach Boys. Not bad, i guess
not what i expected. Really cool some tracks at the end
Chill and fruitful
somewhat unique and different from other country albums. chill
the duality of a man, in the lyrics of violence and vengeance against a woman, and the suffering and crying when she lefts with another.
Despite that, it's catchy music and soulful. Enjoyable country
with the passing of time, and the years and the experience, i've come to understand that sometimes things don't get to me, until some time has passed. i can't get the grasp, i can't understand, i get lost and i lose the opportunities and the importance of some stuff that gets to me.
But, in the due time, in the exact moment, in the precise sleepless night, in the rainy afternoon of gloomy and thunder and melancholy, sometimes, i get this stuff. I understand, and now it becomes important to me, and i become a new person because of it.
this album feels like that. now it's cool and good, but not as radical and profound. but i feel, deeply in my being, that with some time, in the fight moment it will be important and i will understand it in another, more transcendental way.
it has a lot of importance and context, the why this concert it's so revered and regarded. but, at the same time, i find it very mood-dependent and far from what you would expect from Nirvana. That said, it still has some of the most interesting and brilliant performances of some songs. I still have "Where you did sleep last night" as a chills-inducing song. And that speaks by itself
like a faded memory, a feeling too intense that i cannot hold and slips through the crevices of my brain. a lot of pain, and sadness, and it's hard not to listen to this and not feel something. but even then, i can't grasp it
i'm guessing that this one it's some kind of proto-punk album that has become of cult. it's quite unique. not sure if that makes it better, but definitely it's not something i would expect from that cover and that time period
inoffensive, but 80s music. eeh.
grungy, but ehh. not that mindblowing
it's interesting the way that the figure of John Lennon has such an importance in the pop culture of the last century, that even today it has circled back to being despised for many things (pretentious, wife beater, said the n word, hippie, etc). But beyond all these stuff that mostly gets relegated to memes and chit-chat, i find interesting the picture that is painted when you really take the time to listen to his stuff. More than the Beatles, i feel that all the trajectory and events that lead him to his music feel in certain way that's only possible in a peculiarly organic way or a construed myth. I don't know which, but nonetheless, i'm intrigued by it, and listening to this album only empowers that feeling.
I think that for such a depressing and personal album, ending it with a dedicatory song to his wife, says a lot. ¿Was he true in his words or it was just posturing? It doesn't matter really, as what's relevant it's the question and the discussion in itself
endearing, quite guitar rich and nostalgic. nothing exceptional, but it doesn't need to
