3.5/5 Deep southern rock sounds with a very strong lead guitar and throaty vocals. La Granges guitar riff is a classic
Great range and tone. Guitars sounded great and the drums were good in the mix. I loved the lyrics and the lead singers voice. The short songs make this an addictive listen.
Major Americana but wasn't for me. I liked some of the lyrics and the simple yet driving guitars
Reminded me of a scoring for night rider or a futuristic LA detective noir. Good background music for video games
I enjoyed the sound of the crowd and love performance. The lead singer had great lyrics and the upbeat tempo made it a fun listen
Noodly jazz meant for a reflective city day
Fun album with interesting lyrics
Kurt Cobain acoustic but it is the version I've consistently heard
French sounding late 90s techno. Enjoyed "Sexy Boy" and ce matin la
Female Earl Sweatshirt type of album. 2019
Shoegaze-y opiod rock. Relaxing
Wonky cabaret music. Westworld-y
Young snoop dogg going off. Unique layered sounds with the classic LA hip hop aesthetic
Soulful live set with James Brown energy but a wonderful tenderness
Back half of the album had some good instrumental breaks but overall it felt a bit corny
Indie group that reminded me a bit of Father John Misty
Like a long sunny trip on a drunk summers day
Good bongos. Some darker tracks
Classic. Sad and a bit soulful
Some interesting deeper cuts including break beat
Janis Joplin is an instrument
Easy listening. Some nice Solos. Really liked the song Pam
Felt like a masterpiece. Great range
Nice eclectic UK indie rock. Was surprised by the range
Some classics and some corny ones
Heavy and a bit dark but upbeat
Unique southern psychedelic rock journey. Bob Dylan meets Burt Bacharach
Lower key and more Victorian than expected. Fun ride
Vibey. Almost a jam band at points. A few really poignant songs
Some high energy classics. Night train was a good one
Great energy. Liked every song
Live blues from 1960. Soulful but upbeat
I can appreciate the history and the background with Brian Eno and the fact that it was going to be a film score. Standalone it is just an odd film score of an album
The end of the album had some great surprises. Sucker for 2003 hip hop
Heavy queen with some rippers. Freddy holding it down as always. Loved hearing a new range to the band as a casual listener
Alternative rock about the young woman Melody Nelson. All French. Spicy
80s vibe with some great lyrics. Has some seeds of Alex Cameron for me personally
Groovy with some tasty guitar licks. Liked the song happy man and the somber "at last I am free"
Classic for me. Butter is my favorite
Next time I'm in LA I'll be listening to this album in stop and go traffic. Really captures the culture
Great lyrics and space in the songs. Powerful story behind take it all
Fuego beats and weird lyrics I fully support
Classic with fun interludes. The songs also stand alone and are great
Barren desert road trip energy. 8am at burning man kind of feeling. The Reggae remix of Clint Eastwood is fun
Raw pure emotion. One of my all time favorites
Groovy. Great sound and lyrics
Early rock and roll feeling but this came out in 71. Good music but nothing stuck with me
The first song turned me off a bit but every song after was great and felt like it was coming from a new creative space each time
Really creative album. My favorite part are the grooves, with the staccatos on the keys. It feels like the natural evolution of Outkast and I appreciated the Andre 3000 feature paying homage. Over the years I have revisited each track multiple times and it remains one of my favorite albums
Sleepy beats.. had that French sample/breakbeat electronica that I appreciate. My favorite was "Nothing can stop us"
Love 60s psychedelic rock. This sounds very original. I see myself revisiting some of the songs
I enjoyed Bob's voice on this one as opposed to some of the later albums of his. Lyrics were soulful, somber, dare I say historic
Some of the album sounded like 80s cheese but the eclecticism brought some timelessness and the good was great
Some good beats and rhythms. Good stretch album but I won't be revisiting it
Chorus backing vocals were nice. So many flesh references and metaphors. Thoughtful lyrics but not for me
Loved the mixing and Al Greens lyrics and tempo. One of my favorite albums so far
I enjoyed the backstory on the church and appreciated it as a theme I'm the album. The existential lyrics were haunting but enjoyable
Haunting dreamy palate. The Seinfeld bass line in the first song was a trip. I liked the instrumentals but the lyrics did not resonate as much.
Some nice ambient tracks but nothing that really hit me
Big pop with a lot of moans
The sax was grooving. I liked the song She is Mine
I liked the palate and story telling
That 90s dreary acid wash sound. Hoping to check out the Vanishing Point movie to get a better sense of the energy
I liked the range across styles. The title track is a classic
Has the best of Leonard Cohen from what I have heard so far
A bit corny but it has some grooves. Would enjoy this work more as a live experience
Great range. Not sure if it was the edibles but one of my favorites
Not very inspiring but some solid 60s rock
Crazy energy. Great harmonies. That snare needs to be retired
I appreciate George Clinton and have seen him live but I can't get through this bands studio albums
Strong theme throughout and some nice love ballada
Solid rock and roll with some surf punk energy
One of a kind but so deep in the American songbook it is difficult to hear fresh
A few classics on here. I really enjoyed the production and the nice layers they have in their songs. Hazy shade of winter was a new pick up from this listen
Not the best tone. Felt disjointed but the harmonies were pretty cool
More palatable than expected
I liked the strong emotion behind it and the iconic tones
I enjoyed learning about the history of the album and the circumstances: 9/11 release, pendant charges, Kanye debut,.Just Blaze, Eminem solo feature, recorded in 2 days
Felt like it was just ahead of its time and inspired Simon and Garfunkel
Introspective and a very interesting way. Wouldve liked to hear some different sounds but they are in a good groove
Too much pop for my taste
Not bad. Couldn't really get into the tone of his voice on this one
This jazz slaps. Street life was my favorite
I enjoyed many of the songs including set the scene. Each song has substance
A bit disorienting as it truly feels like 4 albums with all of the genre changes. Shout-out to "Corona" known widely as the jackass theme song. I liked some of the raw lyrics in the song "shit from an old notebook" but felt like a lot of this didn't hang together
Unique sound and stirring lyrics. The bass lines were my favorite
I liked the spookiness on the song electricity but I think this album can't get a fairshake until it is remastered or in a different format. The audio was a muddy as the bayou waters
I enjoyed the sensuality of "Sledgehammer" and was surprised to hear Kate Bush on love ballad "Don't give up"
Not much resonates. Dingy bar energy
Great jazzy palate and a wonderful voice. "Fuck me pumps" had fun lyrics
The first song "Good Times" is a classic. Even though it is very disco the production holds up
I enjoyed the songs you're good for me and you can't move them all - which has a really fun Spanish guitar and brass. Very soulful
Unique sound I've returned to for easy listening
An album that sounded like the cornerstones of a great band. The instrumentation was fantastic. My favorite song was the opening track,
I enjoyed the more upbeat songs and the lyricism is one of her finest qualities. My favorite song was help me
A lot of classic songs but a bit flat for me
The back story of Elvis joining the army and having this as his next release is epic. Deep album
