Pretty jazzy jazz!
Easy to listen to, I'd call this album pure fluff, like eating marshmallow fluff with the Michelin man on a white cloud, nothing to think about or get deep into. I don't find anything philosophical about "Jump" or "Hot for Teacher", but take it for what it is, easy listening rock music.
Not my favorite from Beck, was a bit too slow and low-key, I need at least a couple of upbeat songs to keep me in it!
Well that was AC/DC, they have a sound and they stuck to it for all 10 songs, good job guys
Bob Marley is the best, always a 5, forever
Not the best French electro pop album I’ve ever heard but pretty close, plus major nostalgia points for me having heard this album many times as a youth.
Good album, not great would rate a 3 but with hallelujah on the album as one of the greatest songs ever recorded it couldn’t be less than a 4
A truly terrible album where I stopped listening after a few tracks, "the gift" was both bad and disturbing. Why are they famous?
Not what I was expecting from iggy but a pleasant surprise
I really liked this album except for one weird track so I deducted one star, best American chamber pop musical collective album I’ve listened to this year.
Other than the songs I already loved the rest of them were between meh and blech
Solid album with a great big band feel throughout, probably a 3 but gets the post-listening to the Velvet Underground bump where I needed to clear my brain from that terrible noise with actual music played by professionals that know how to make coherent music
I like the artist, pretty good throughout. Thought the album was 3 stars, the song titles added another star, and one plus three equals four!
4 stars, great background music, kept making me think where have I heard this sound before but with a few less bongos?
Classic album where every song is a great listen
I wanted this album to be better, especially with the collaborators, but for the talent on the tracks it was underwhelming. Nothing stood out vocally and the instrumentals were lacking for my tastes.
I'm a fan of the early hip hop, I thought it was a good album, not great. The best song was Milky Cereal, always fun to rediscover a nice track.
I love to discover new artists and this is one that I liked and was totally new for me.
Not for me, didn't like any of the songs. I listened through to the end just to make sure, and I can confirm it's not my cup of tea.
Loved it, the night of the Thumpasorus Peoples had some weird instrument that threw this off from a 5, but it was a great fun album and could be listened to over and over again. Take out that last song and I could have it on repeat for 6 hours.
Incredibly enjoyable jazz classical fusion genre, I didn't know the artist before listening but loved the entire performance. Amazing musical talent.
When I see an album and think hmmm... heavy metal, I'm not gonna like this, well this is the album I'm talking about. It's got all the screaming that I don't enjoy with the heavy instrumentals that I also don't enjoy. This album made me think that a spider living in my ear laying eggs isn't the worst thing that could happen to the inside of my ears
It's easy to listen to this album, it doesn't fit neatly into a genre or decade. Smooth vocals and instrumentals that just melt into the background. I don't think I've intentionally listened to a Sade song before, but it also feels like I've heard every song on the album a hundred times and am not tired of it.
Just another rock album, I knew the hits already, and when I listen through an entire album I expect to be surprised by a hidden gem that I haven't heard before or just forgot about. This album doesn't have anything like that, just more or the same generic rock sound. Solid album, but not great, and definitely not exceptional.
This album has a definite decade feel to it, I generally like soul (or soul-adjacent) music, so this one hit just right. I liked it but thought it was a little too 50's generic to get a 5, I'd have preferred a 3.5, but we are stuck with the ratings we have, not the ones we want. Today I'm feeling generous and rounding up.
Not a fan of Christmas music, but I'll tolerate it for a very small window and when I listened to this album the timing was all off. No thanks
Fun album that I assume was popular music for the era it comes from, several songs that I've heard before but never known the artist.
The album started with a couple of songs that I didn't like but was ready to lean into the good elements and hoped that it would improve as the album went on. However, that was not to pass, instead, it devolved into incoherent screaming by the end, I did not like this album.
I'm usually a fan of the genre, and it's nice to listen to something other than bad rock music, but sadly this just didn't do it for me. The version I listened to had way too many interruptions and while the volume of tracks was impressive, I would have liked a pared-down album with just the jazziest jazz. As far as Dukes go, this is more like Marmaduke, you listen to it because it exists, and not because you really, really want to. I was hoping more for the 1992 Duke Men's Basketball team, really good but also exciting and has you on the edge of your seat not knowing when the music will finally stop.
The music is good, I didn't care for the Paul McCartney Duet, bad and a little creepy, but the rest is solid. Too bad it's Michael Jackson and he will never earn anything other than a 0 for being a bad person. The album will be a 1 because I can't go any lower.
I liked this album, but for the mystique surrounding all things Hendrix I was expecting to love it. Especially with Jimi as a local legend and fellow GHS alumni, I assumed it was going to be the greatest album of all time and it was merely good.
First time listening to rush, it tickled my eardrums in just the right way
Definitely not my type of music
I haven't heard of this artist before, but turned into a fun musical journey
I've been listening to this album for a while, first on a cassette tape in the car, then on CD in the car, then on an iPod in the car, and now steaming in the car, and it never disappoints. Excellent throughout.
Just one those middling albums, nothing wrong with it but nothing awesome either, it’s telling when the artist changes on Spotify and I don’t notice for at least 3 songs that it wasn’t going to stick out as great or terrible.
I really liked how this started and that it is something unique and haunting and definitely weird, but it was too much of the same on repeat. I needed something different peppered in to give it a great review, as it is I liked it well enough but left me wanting more.
I really liked one song on here and the rest were not anything spectacular, I listened through once, but that was enough for my lifetime.
I thought supertramp was going to be a one trick pony band, a super awesome 80s synth pony with laser eyes riding a rainbow, but one trick. I was pleasantly surprised by the variety I found and enjoyed it throughout.
Love you Rod, this wasn't the best of your albums and could have used some more rodalicous tracks, but overall a great effort.
Didn't know anything about them before listening, so they didn't disappoint, but also didn't blow me away, really middle of the road for me.
Excellent album from start to end, I was listening on a plane and made me completely forget about my impending death from falling out of the sky!!!!
Absolute masterpiece, not a bad song on here and reminded me of how amazing of an artist he was, will be on the rotation in my life for years to come
I've always liked the funkiness of Elvis Costello, unique sound and fun to listen to, but also not my favorite album, solid not spectacular
I thought this was going to be a slam dunk 5 star review because of my Van Morrison love, but this one was good but didn't grab me the way his albums usually do. Maybe I'm just getting cynical in my old age to not give 5 stars for a great album...
I just like Bowie, so 5 seems right
Not usually my kind of music, but I like the tracks on this one.
Way better than the last pixies album, and good enough to be called average!
I listened to this a couple weeks ago and wasn’t memorable enough to rate high or low, I can confirm it exists, but nothing else when I search my memory banks.
Not my jam but a plus one for the listening experience with the legendary hammer fist!
One song a recognized, the rest were ok.
Not good
A new listen for me, I thought I had heard lots of songs from her before but I didn’t recognize any of them on this album. Usually a big name artist has some new fun tracks to enjoy, but it didn’t grab me the way I was expecting.
I thought this was going to be some old Jazz album; it was short but sweet.
Sometimes, all you need is one word for an album. For this album, that word is "Weird"
Very Brucey
I have heard the album before, and liked all the songs I could remember, but it didn't have any lost gems that would have pushed this to a 5
This is a brilliantly done album. All of the Beatles' albums are pretty spot on. They are truly one of the best bands of all time.
Albums like this are why I enjoy this site, a great listen that was funky and different and enjoyable from beginning to end. Add to that the mystery of not knowing anything about the artist when I started the album, I want all my albums to be just as fun as this one.
I love hip hop, but never felt the vibe with Cypress Hill, might be good for someone, but not for me.
Great album, nothing but bangers for the soul
I listened to this album as background and thought it was pretty good, but a second time through without all the distractions and I wasn't as impressed. Would recommend halfheartedly.
Classic Rock in the most classical sense. They just kept laying on the jam like it was tea time with Queen Victoria, and my ears were crumpets.
This was a bit of a different sound than I expected from Ray Charles. Good, but nothing great, and I like the later albums better.
This was a new band for me and was very pleasantly surprised, it was solid from start to finish.
Hey Moby you so fine, you so fine you blow my mind. Hey Moby!
I thought I was going to hate this album and it didn't meet expectations.
I've listened to Jack White before and not understood why he's so highly regarded as an artist, but this album made me think, hmm, I kinda get it.
I rarely listen to 90s rock music and about halfway through this album I thought, "Hmm, I need a break from 90's music, this has been going on for far to long..."
Loved it, a bit odd for this list, but the album sounds great and the lyrics were awesome.
