I liked the soulfullness of this album but I felt a little lack luster towards the end of the album. Still was a great listen.
I really enjoyed this album the tasteful shouting and instrumentation in the background really make this a fun listen. My favorites off the album were Time and Lose It.
This was a fun series though interestingly lost a little of it's luster after a second listen but I enjoyed most of the songs on here.
This is a great jazz/bosa nova album I played this while cleaning on a Sunday morning and it was the perfect fit. Really chill and slow with smooth sax in the back, I enjoyed this one.
I enjoy the jazz hip-hop elements of the 90s and this album definitely hit that space with really fresh beats and rhymes. I was always entertained throughout.
Always love a jazz album and it's no wonder that Ella Fitzgerald is the jazz icon that she is. Her soothing voice makes you forget about your day transporting you into the song, completely captivating. This album is absolutely a staple in the history books of music and deservedly so.
I liked this album a bit more than The Low End Theory by A Tribe Called Quest. I felt the beats were enjoyable the whole way and varied. I found the audio stories in the songs to be hilarious especially on The Beast. This all around had great vibes some serious bars and beats that kept giving.
Prince commands a sound that is uniquely his as is his persona. This album is one of the most complete ones I've listened to. An album that should be listened to from top to bottom all the way through and doing so you get a full picture of Prince's presence. The synths, guitar riffs, and Prince's voice all give this an album that defined the 80s.
Maybe it's just me but this genre sort of wanes on me a bit so I was really into the album at the beginning and then I got a little less enthusiastic. Overall a nice alternative metal song I'm glad I got to listen to.
I felt pretty neutral on this album. It's a solid jazz album, nothing great nothing bad, but as someone else wrote which I completely agree with, it makes me want to listen to Stevie Wonder instead.
Yeah I dig this album it’s upbeat it’s got the energy and it really puts out an 80’s vibe like dance like no one is watching. However, it’s best with the brain turned off, after I looked over the lyrics I couldn’t help but be a bit less impressed but the album is still a good one to jam out to.
I feel bad because I feel media sort of killed my enjoyment of this album by how much I've heard more than a feeling but it's a solid classic rock album. Great guitar and piano riffs, nice loud vocals. The perfect music for a great road trip with the boys!
Come over here, I’m feelin’ romantical. Marvin Gaye definitely gettin’ it on for this album. Good vibes and nice tracks, nothing incredible but I can’t complain either.
2Pac really is a man ahead of his time this album goes personal, like from the intimate retelling of his childhood and his addicted mother along with his personal dealings with depression, to full picture, like the system blacks are forced to face and women’s rights. With these 2Pacs flow is done like no other, easy to the ear but powerful wording. Every song I had a great time with.
This album still had the fun energy brings but I felt myself not being too into this album compared to, I Should Coco. No real standout songs for me but I’m glad I listened to it nonetheless.
Fun progressive pop album of 1986. It was a pleasant mix of commercial sounding with lots of other genres to keep it fresh throughout.
I feel weird giving this not full stars but I honestly think it’s just personal preference here, possibly a bit of a generational gap for me too on this. Bridge over troubled water will forever be timeless in my heart along with El Condor Pasa but the rest of the album I was more neutral on.
This album to me is like the perfect symbolism of a road trip. There's no worries, you're just enjoying the ride, which I guess is why the last song is such a great closer to this album. Really great along with some new songs I never knew after giving this album a full listen through. However, I like dirt can stay in the dirt, its the only one that gave me a bad taste, but we'll call it a small road bump.
I'm a sucker for blues rock so I really enjoyed this one. Nice and minimal with catchy rifts in-between.
