Listened to this on a drunk Friday night after a teambuilding event and light argument with Peter. It's ok I like Kanye better. Kendrick is definitely better at rapping. Bitch don't kill my vibe is nice and so is money trees. This is definitely very high quality music but not really for me rn. I stopped at mad city/swimming pool I'm not really into this, lowering my initial rating from. Ugh nevermind I'm pretty conflicted. Sing about me is really nice. This seems like an album that might grow on me. Oof the part where he gets shot while singing I felt that. Ok I'm done at real. Compton is good too tho
Thank God this is way better than Kendrick Lamar. This album was a lot of fun, love it
Leaving my smiths review here cuz I accidentally hit the rate button without writing anything:
Listened on the plane to Chicago. It's the smiths what is there really to say. If I were a teenager I'd probably think it was transcendent. I'm not a teenager but it's not bad.
Dire straits:
Listened while bumming around Chicago and getting onto the trump tower roof. Very good and groovy for a city walk. Solid stuff real meaty music with a lot of depth. Makes me feel like I'm looking back at a desert town that I barely escaped with my life. Kind of an LA cocaine and mansion vibe.
Yeah this fuckin rules it's an iconic album. Hit after hit. Very cool for walking around Chicago. Kinda weird once I entered the art institute and still had this on. Another one I would love if I was a teen in the 90s.
Hate to say it but there was a reason Mick jagger fucked 14 year olds with no consequence. The rolling stones are good. They changed the landscape. It's not mind-blowing if you have a basic idea of what settler colonialism is but it's still good rock n roll music.
So I already had some experience with this band because I listened to boss drum whenbterrence McKenna mentioned he recorded with them on their album. I love this kinda stuff. One of my regrets is that I wasn't born during the 90s when the rave scene first started so I could go to a rave that was still rooted in the psychedelic revolution. This kinda dance music is so much fun and I wish it had more of a place in today's club landscape. Maybe it does and I'm just not that in touch. Also possible. Either way this music is making a new genre and is good and does what it sets out to so it's gotta be respected.
This is really solid. Really dug it in the Chicago art museum. Didn't quite work when I was in the neoclassical exhibit but otherwise good jazzy listening music
I'm just gonna review this right now cuz I think I listened to this like 3 times out of order. I'm bumbling around Chicago and just taking trains around. I listened to this album music while staring at the corncob towers from the exact spot where the album cover is taken and I took a pic. This album is really good I already had it downloaded so that tells you how much I liked it. It's also a moment of pure synchronicity that this is the album for today when I'm literally enjoying the corncobs for the first time. Yeah this one really does it and captures my angsty youth in a timeless why unlike some other shit. I discovered it later in my music journey but it holds a special place in my heart. They played it on prairie home companion. Idk what to say, it was an honor to listen to a timeless piece of art while enjoying something that might have been an inspiration for it.
I don't want to listen to this. I'm gonna listen to the first 30 secs of every song instead. Initial impressions are I'd really like this if I were 50. And there are prob some nights after I've been drinking a long time where I'd like this. Gimme three steps rules ofc. I'm listening to this in the port authority getting on prov bus. Didn't realize simple man was on here. Alright I'm kinda done with this. I'm in a real give it a chance type of mood and it's not hitting. I gave much more than 30 secs to each song
Same thing I'm gonna hit this with 30 secs per song. Initially I love the whole cap beefheart phenomenon. The music sounds derivative tho. Maybe that's cuz it's one of those situations where everyone copied it. Im gonna listen to this as if it was the first time anyone did anything like this. Which I bet is the case cuz I know beefhearts story. It's a little presumptuous to make this album 70 minutes you fucking artistic ass fuckhead. Is dropout boogie a song that got ripped off by cream. I'm glad is my fav so far. Trout mask replica is a cool ass album but listening to cap beef in one sitting is a lot to ask. I guess if you're trying to blast minds pre summer of love then you gotta go to extremes. Wish I brought water on this bus. I think I'm done with this one. I gave it a lot of chances. It's fine for what it is. Which is revolutionary.
Fun album. A product of it's time. Not gonna return to this.
Same year as cap beef. Interesting. Sinatra was a top artist for me this year according to Spotify. I don't feel like I listened to any Sinatra this year tho. I really don't like this orchestral accompaniment. Yeah I'm gonna leave this after like 3 songs. Sorry frank not your best stuff stick to the hits.
Why are all these songs twofers. Seems like 2004 and 1967 are big years on this list. Yeah this is a good album. It's past its expiration date tho sadly. Might come back to it if I need to. But it doesn't hit so hard 20 years after the culture it was written for.
This was really solid. Sweet to have some real fuckin music finally. Listened on the bus out of NYC. Really funky and really good.
Solid album. Listened to this on the Boston train. Felt it was appropriate cuz I think this is a Boston band. Nothing really exceptional that I remember but it was really listenable and a good standby album.
Bit of an odd one. Pretty good quality. I can see this being a good album for when your life is in turmoil. More of an ambient album than something I would seek out.
Pretty epic acid rock. Would like this on a trip.
This was an awesome album, makes sense why everyone wanted to pirate this back in the day. One was mindblowing. First time listening to this and really liked it.
This hits hard in my office working on excel models. I heard axl rose fucked princess Diana and that's why mossad had to take her out. Didn't realize paradise city was on this album, prob my fav guns and roses. They're an interesting band cuz I think they came a little bit after the heyday of rock and roll but kind of brought it back. Axl rose even sang for acdc after that beret guy died I thing. I remember a bunch of edgy elementary school kids with guns and roses tshirts from their older siblings when I was growing up. Ultimately this album rocks cocks but it's a little before my time, kinda one dimensional for my taste but if I were at a concert or in the middle of a drinking montage there's nothing else I'd want to hear.
I can just imagine my pot smoking uncle being like "what? you've never heard live and dangerous by thin Lizzy? HOLD ON" Then slamming an 8track into the dashboard of his Buick lasabre.
This album is really good but we are past it as a culture. Save it for the classic rock station. That being said I enjoyed having it on in the background.
