They have a very specific recognizable sound. I imagine if I grew up around this period, with their new/unique sound, I would have been a fan. Some songs sound very similar - same structure (?) as their more well known songs- I.e- I fought the law.
Think some of the songs could grow on me, others I can appreciate the composition/message, but they sound a little generic to a modern/uncultured listener. I'd still say the music has aged well. Reggae/Ska/Punk-rock influences.
First listen 6/10-better than average. Could climb on repeat listens.
Silky smooth easy listening. Pleasant music and voice. Love/Sensual songs - timeless
Enjoyed this more than I thought. I came in with pre-conceived notions as I had read some not so favourable things about Lennon previously. Well written/composed songs, differing styles.
Ok- easy listening, pleasant to listen to. Not my go to choice in music, but Ibcan understand why people would rate it.
Did not enjoy. I am sure there is some Jazz out there I would find palatable, but this isnt it. Found the music disjointed, grating and was relieved when it finished.
Not bad, would listen to again. didn't blow me away
Simply Brilliant- Best album I've listened to so far. Will be exploring their back catalogue soon, expect to listen to this album again.
Funky, upbeat, fun, albeit a little repetitive. 3.5
not bad, didn't leave a lasting impression. Would need to listen to again
Outside 2 or 3 hits, rest is just a little dreary and dull.
Loved it. Will be listening to again. Hear similarities with the Beastie Boys.
Not a big fan of autotune/modern rap. Enjoyed the songs with Jay-z. Enough on there for me to return to 2-3 songs.
Surprisingly caught me off guard - enjoyed it more it went on- melodic, trance-like music. Decent as background Music or with noise cancelling headphones
Have to give this a 3 for originality at least. Didnt know what to make of it- various styles, unique voice.
Generic Americana. Pleasant listening, won't blow you away
Vibrato, melodic songs with a underlying message. Found the vocalist a little grating, not something I would return to
3.5 stars - enjoyed the instrumental Woodpeckers from Mars/Black Sabbath cover the most. Vocalist can be grating at times- like the vocalist from Smashing Pumpkins
Enjoyed this one- nice surprise, only heard of Our House previously. Liked the soul/ska elements - upbeat and funky.
Not my chosen genre, but I can appreciate the talent on show here, exceptional voice. Sunday morning/easy listening music.
Psychedelic, background music. Dragged on, not a big fan.
melodic and atmospheric- but it didn't grab me and unlikely to listen to again
Quiete generic 80s rock, but I liked it 3.5/10
