Hit and miss with some of the songs, blowing in the wind is definitely my favourite, really makes me want to actually play the harmonica - also it does a very good job of transporting me to a different time and place, even if i don’t enjoy all the music… thank god i won’t have to listen to it in its entirety again.
so far, this is quite fun and i quite like listening to it, wouldn’t be a go-to but much much better than bob dylan lol.
paint it black is amazing but more so i enjoy that song cause of guitar hero. some of the other songs are just going on and on and i don’t care for them and i’m really just listening to this because that’s the whole point, listen to all the albums, all 1001 of them; but i don’t want to have to. and i can’t wait for this to be over. as bad as bob dylan? possibly, or worse cause they don’t have a blow in’ in the wind…. it’s only got 1 stars cause of paint it black, it all goes to that.
So… i just checks the album length and it’s 53 minutes. but there’s like 4/5 songs, i didn’t do the math but that’s an insane song length each song, hats off to you mr fela. and a bit of exuberant jazzy high life on a dreary 8am morning in london isn’t bad i guess. i get why he’s legendary, and i can see the influence he has had, so i think a song has to be 12 minutes, not really, but i’ll forgive it
for Mr Fela.
apparently i already like two songs off this album, according to my spotify but i think that was when i was tryna be cool and cultured and i have to be honest, i don’t really care for it lol. but who knows, it might get better. and don’t get me wrong, it’s great music, but more for the influential catalyst it’s been and because of the ripples it made in its time. and i think this is the case for a lot of this kind of music. oh god i just finished work and checked to see how many songs left and it’s a lot and i’m just like… why. though there was 1 i genuinely liked, will check the name.
i don’t know what it means about me that i actually prefer this kind of country song then influential rock n roll like bob and jimi…i accidentally gave jimi only 2 which i feel bad about, it should have been a 3/4. i like this quite a lot and could
listen to more of him, my results will be skewed, i wanna give a 4 but that’s too high, so it’s gonna have to be a 3.
I’m so angry at myself for writing this band off, I’m not sure why, but i thought they were another rolling stones or something. It’s the whole band tshirt phenomena and turns out - they are brilliant! Honest to god, I listened to this album twice over and was shocked by how insanely good it was and could hear how influential they are to modern music, this album is easily a 5 star, I now have to do a deep dive but i assume this is a cult classic.
i’ll be honest, i don’t wanna listen to this but here we go. God, am i wrong again? i think possibly, because this first song is beautiful and i love it. Dolly parton is a sweetheart with such good lyrics and sweet melodies and I apologise for ever doubting you Dolly! you have a lovely voice and such a story to tell, i loved it!!
i’m not as nervous going in cause i’ve listened to the white stripes before and know they have some bangers, but i haven’t listened in depth so let’s just see how it goes i guess. it was better than i expected for some and i might put 1 or 2 in my playlists, but i’m happy with just acknowledging that they’re good and probably never listening to the whole album again. They are good they’re just not my style so idk how to vote for that, but i think it’ll have to be a 3.
love the album artwork already, so let’s hope i like it, i do love a bit of jazz anyways. i did indeed like this album, was just nice to have on in the background in my cosy room with the rain outside. i also feel like i really recognised the 5th song from somewhere, just not sure where. easy listening i guess and would listen again.
well, i have like one or two sonic youth songs across all my playlists but i’ve never listened to an album all together or a bunch of their music, and i’ll be honest, i’ve listened now and probably won’t listen to that album ever again apart from ‘star power’ i love that song a lot. it’s a good album for the genre i guess, but just background annoyance for me; though i love their vibe.
kinda cool, and i liked the beginning of most of the songs, but they went on for too long and started to annoy me just a bit, but it was a cool album and most definitely interesting. would not listen in its entirety but would listen to specific songs again.
i knew i would like some of the songs as i already have like 2/3 somewhere in my
playlists, i just didn’t know id like the whole album. really cool and chill and i will go and probably listen to all the rest of them at some point too. made me want to watch the film slackers again, which i will this weekend. and take some photos with my camera too, so overall? really good!
i’m looking forward to this because i like three off of here already apparently, so this should be good and i like not division, i just never ventured into them like i should have sadly. ok, so controversial opinion, but i don’t care for this album, and i don’t know why i have songs saved, other than maybe because they’re good for the mood it feels like, grey and rainy and some of the songs just matched the atmosphere. but that’s what i wanted!! some of atmosphere, that song is amazing and this was just….. i’m now listening to other music to cleanse my ear lol. which is crazy cause i love his voice. and the weird music, but i just didn’t care for this unfortunately.
YAAAAAY. i love the streets so so much, from every single one of their albums there is something great, im not much of an album listener i guess, i just pick all my favourites and keep it moving so this will be fun to listen to the whole thing in order, but i love them and will be surprised if i don’t like it, in my head it’s already 5 stars ngl. One of the best albums of all time, i fucking love mike skinner so so much and it made me so nostalgic for the early noughties and this will be in my weekly rotation from now on, but not just single songs, as an album because the story makes so much more sense all put together and i just think the streets are perfect, i would give it more than 5 stars if i could, and i miss authenticity like this in music, and originality.
i love that i got to listen to two british bands in a row, it made me nostalgic, it made me happy and i think oasis have a right to be seen as iconic, love most of the album and i’m glad i listened to it.
i listened to 30 minutes, it was enough, because i thought it was only 40 minutes long, turns out there’s 2 hours of this stuff, it might be good but i can’t endure it i’ll be honest,
this was just mostly background music for me but i didn’t mind it, reminded me of the film detroit rock city and some of the songs were pretty cool i’ll be honest, don’t think i’d listen to them again, but doesn’t mean they’re bad…
who knew, that i would actually like quite a lot of this album, mostly for background music but also as actual stand alone songs, to listen to in my normal rotation, some of them just made me wanna get up and leave and go on a road trip adventure, i love music like that.
real cool and original sounding music, i would probably listen to a few again but not the whole album but i really did enjoy the whole vibe, it was just so soulful and cool.
i did love this more so because of the nostalgia and feeling it gave me listening to it after all this time, but there’s genuinely such good raw britishness that transported me to a place and time and just makes my imagination run wild, arctic monkeys are seen as great for a reason, they really are.
this is amazing and already a 5 star. i haven’t got much to say other than i really love this and think it’s so so special. the piano is insanely good, makes me block out all kinds of things which is really the thing that i look for in music; does it transport me, does it move me, does it calm everything in me to just a quiet roar rather than a loud crashing jumble. and the answer is, yes, this is such lovely and enjoyable music, im just sad i didn’t know it before.
i didn’t care for this at all. i love blues and jazz and all that good stuff but my god, he really was just talking so much about his dick and it was like, shut up. but i can see where the influence would have been big i guess. i will say, that the song, i’ve been drinking was amazing and it gave me hope that more like that would come along…. it did not. so i would give that a 5 however i can’t, so unfortunately it’s a 2.
i love this album and it’s one of my favourites ever. ex factor, nothing even matters, can’t take my eyes off of you and tell him are some of the most beautiful songs ever recorded. i don’t get how this doesn’t have a higher rating. it’s clearly a 5.
i think i’ve already listened to this whole album cause i remember when i was like 17 or something and had this on CD and used to listen to it so much, as well as justin bieber lol. i like listening to this music and it’s a great album, really enjoyed it and it’s so sad to think he died in his prime.
hmmm. idk how to feel about this, i dunno if i’ll like it or not, obviously there’s a banger on there, but as for the rest? who knows. i didn’t care for it. Imagine was legendary and that’s about it.
so the first song was so so so lovely and i was excited to listen to this, thinking i would love it so much. but sadly, i just didn’t, i hated most of it. there were like two songs i liked, the first i love, and then that one about being 33 or something which just sounds like journey to the past from anastasia so i will have to look into it. the beginning of the second song is so epic, i love that too, i actually like that song a lot. unfortunately i have to be fair and can’t rate it high for one or two songs… sorry.
so this was quite interesting, some really nice instrumental stuff on here and it was quite cool and i can imagine a lot of it has been sampled before, but i didn’t love it, i could just mostly tolerate it. thank goodness it wasn’t 2 hrs like smashing pumpkins man.
hmmm, it was quite enjoyable and i didn’t mind it so much, it was crazy how long each song was on for though, it was interesting and reminded me of tears for fears and donnie darko and something else that i can’t put my finger on rn. but it was cool.
there was like one cool song, the rest was just bleh. like it’s crazy but most of these albums make me realise that if i listen to all the songs, i’m less likely to like them. they just all meld into the same shouty, boring sounds. i didn’t care for this; won’t listen to it again, can appreciate that it was probably ‘influential’ for some reason but i also kinda don’t care; you can’t have 100 bands all out at the same time making the same music and tell me they’re all influential, don’t make sense!
this is cool i guess, it’s not my fave, and i could do without listening to it for 48 mins; but she has a great voice and there’s cool instruments and maybe on a sunny breezy evening in the middle of france or spain or italy i would bang this; but on a -4 london day im just not really feeling it that much but it is really cool. and i love hearing more female voices on this list cause they’re the real influential musicians of the human race let’s be honest.
It’s not blue in green but it’s certainly enjoyable and i liked hearing all the old timey voices on the live recordings. and that crackle and fizz and smooooth sound of those recordings are so so so nice. i think, no, i know, i prefer these over remastered sounds most times. miles davis is just cool and makes me yearn for that time period.
i’ve always seen him around and have listened to like 1 song before and i’m mad at myself for not having listened to more cause i really really really like this so much. and i will listen to everything else and see if it’s the album or actually sufjan, but yeah, this was right up my street.
oooooh i loved loved loved loved this, im so happy i found them, and i don’t even care that they’re weird and seemingly boring, i think they’re just so cool and made me feel nostalgic for a time i wasn’t even born.
this was awful, i thought i would like them cause i remember them being everywhere when i was younger, but like… i hated it all. apart from the last song, the first half of it, i remember it i think, it was good i guess for a bit of it anyways. i’m glad i didn’t have to listen to them anymore and i hope they’re not on here again jesus.
I didn’t get to listen to this actual album the way i wanted to as it’s not on spotify so i listened in bits and pieces but she’s got an amazing voice and i think i’ve now become a fan. i was familiar with some of her songs but never put 2 and 2 together….
ok, i’ll be honest, i was a bit miffed that i got another country-esque album, like how many are there jeez. but it’s not bad tbf, and i quite like this first song because of the echoing rich sounds of them singing all together, idk how i’ll like the rest of it, and i’m thinking does it have to be almost an hour? probably not but anyways….ok so they were alright, dunno if i’d ever listen to them again, and idk if i’m better off for having listened to them but i did appreciate the softness, also the last song, teach your children, i actually did love that and knew of it because of Glee and the office and i liked it all ways.
he sang about shooting his girlfriend if he caught her cheating… i think i need to do a better listen of some of these singers (male) and just give them 1 stars or 0 if possible cause singing about violence against women will never be art or good. so from here on out, any rampant misogynist and sexist songs, just straight stop listening and the least amount of stars.
oh god, i wanted to like it cause it’s beastie boys and i thought i liked their other songs but by god, it was hard to stomach. being a tad hungover probably didn’t help. and i wanna give them a good score but i can’t, but i can’t give them lower than other people i’ve scored, i gotta be more brutal, sorry boys.
this is cool i guess, i like hearing all the talking on the live ones, because just like the other album i listened to, it was interesting to hear just how different our voices and mannerisms are from that time period to now. it’s such a stark difference. i wish we still had those sauve and velvety voices. what happened?! i will look this up. also, as far as jazz goes, he’s great, truly. however 2 hours is a long time to listen to an album like holy hell. i’ll listen to this increments honestly.
oh god, i don’t wanna listen to this but i’m hoping i’m wrong and it’s good. there’s been only a few albums i’ve been happy to listen to you know. it was a bit depressing and i didn’t really care for it.
you know what, i didn’t expect to like this as much as i do, but it’s pretty darn good and eclectic, there’s some songs i don’t care for, but then they grow on me or i just like them from the jump. idk if i’d listen to the whole album again, but i’d listen to individual songs for sure.
only one song on spotify and i can’t be bothered right now to find it over the internet so it’ll have to wait: i don’t like what i can hear right now anyways. oh ok, i’m surprised, some rapping came on and it wasn’t so bad, but still i will have to youtube it or something so it’ll have to wait.
i just wanna start this by saying i’m so so sad i didn’t give the clash more, they actually deserved 5 or 4 stars :( anyways, i feel like i’ll like this album too, and i’m just happy to have some good british bands to listen to in a row. i enjoyed it quite a bit and glad i listened to it. champagne supernova is one of my favourite songs of all time.
i enjoyed this and realised like most of these albums i hadn’t listened to it as intended and i was wrong for that, it was a cool album and filled me with nostalgia and made me wanna be as cool as the era and the band.
what the hell. i guess the concept was cool but jeez louise, i will never listen to it again. i will think about it though which i guess is the driving point? it felt very self indulgent and long and i necessary but it doesn’t mean that it isn’t good deep down somewhere…
i love fats domino and think this was a lovely album and he’s a great singer, i’ve heard it before and blueberry hill is definitely in my top 100 songs kind of thing.
overall i really like this album, loved a lot of the songs when it first came out and those same songs i still really love. i liked the experience of listening to it as an album and in its entirety, it felt fresh, original and just very cool: frank ocean also has an unreleased song that lives in my heart as one of the best songs ever made.
i didn’t mind this i guess and there was 2 songs i actively liked and thought were really good, but personally i’ll probably never listen to it again, even though i like having female artists recommended… she’s cool but just not enough for me personally.
i just got déjà-vu and déjà-vu talking about it. weird feeling. anyways, i liked some of this and hated the rest, so i’m not sure what to do about that. but i didn’t mind some of these songs they were really catchy and i liked them more than the white stripes album that i listened to. probably wouldn’t listen to it again but some songs from it for sure.
couldn’t listen to it, but i’ll just give it a 3 cause it’s probably in the middle.
insufferable: i wish i could give it 0.
i don’t care for this and didn’t really listen as so much as have it on in the background just because it’s on the list, some interesting bits but overall i didn’t like it.
this was kinda groovy and cool and i want to say i’d listen to it again but i know i won’t. but background music in the middle of summer on a sunday? yeah it fits that quite well, also i guess i only really know their band for like 2 famous songs but they deserve to be on here for this.
oh god, not again. ok, here we go.
this was so so so so good and i wish i was there and i’m so sad that i never was, never will, never can. perfect album, honestly.
i just don’t care about rolling stones i’ll be so fucking honest. i don’t care if they deserve to be up here, i think anymore than one album is bullshit, they are annoying and not that good honestly.
I liked some of the songs on here quite a bit and would listen to one or two again, but the majority of it was long and annoying, it’s a shame though because if they had just cut down on some of it, i think i would have loved this album cause it’s weird and synthy and cool and conceptual. but they weren’t humble enough.
what’s another word for hate?
i like the cover art and assumed it was an indie band from the early 2000s. like that i can hear a woman, gonna read up on them. love albums that aren’t too long as well… it was good and cool and really 90s grungy and punk feeling, short and to the point; i liked it.
it’s not on spotify and couldn’t be bothered to look for it, this is the third one. i will get round to it i guess.
this was a cool album, i love his voice, always lowkey have, i would give it a 5 but that one song just irritates me soooo much, i don’t care who covers it, personal jesus… i personally HATE it, so it brought down the whole feel of the amazing album for me; but i loved it so much overall, iconic.
oh i feel bad, cause this wasn’t bad, it was interesting some of it, it just wasn’t all my cup of tea…. but i didn’t hate it. and i liked that i had a female artist to listen to, if it was a different day, i might have been able to appreciate it more and give it a higher score, but for now, i can’t.
tbf this does deserve to be up here, it’s got some absolute bangers, like iconic songs for the 90s and early 2000s.
So the first two songs are really good, obviously. and then there’s 1 other song i really like, but the rest was just meh for me ngl, but my scoring system has been kinda all over the place, i’ll say this has two iconic songs and then some other boring things but maybe innovative for the time… so let’s go with a 3.
i wanted to like it more than i did, but there were two iconic songs on there that i adore, and it was a cool album i guess, just not for me, i also hated that on he’s unusual, i couldn’t hear out of one headphone, but i guess it made it unusual lol.
so this wasn’t bad but it was kind of like what you would listen to in a lift, like it became background, forgettable music, it’s not that i didn’t enjoy it, i did, but i can’t rate it highly cause i don’t remember anything….
it has some classics, some absolute bangers, but also some things i just didn’t care for and wouldn’t listen to again, weird how that works. but still, iconic songs on what i believe to be a fairly average album.
i unequivocally loved this album and once i get my headphones back, will listen to it again and in order as it should be. I don’t care for the controversies surrounding it, i will look into it out of interest, but i thought this was fun, whimsical, soulful. filled me with joy, and ‘You can call me Al’ has been a favourite song of mine since I was like 17 but never put two and two together, I’m glad because maybe I wouldn’t have appreciated this gem back then, who knows?
the united song and red white and blue are both actually really good songs, i like them a lot, and i would rate them highly if i could, but i can’t and i didn’t care for the rest of the album tbh, so sadly even though those songs are a 4/5 the album can’t be… cool that they are british though, so many metal bands like that are assumed to be american.
i think there was a maybe 2 minute overall part of this album that i enjoyed, but other than that, i just didn’t care for it. i wanted to because i realised i quite like folky eclectic and unusual but this just irked me, was glad to be finished.
so, i am a bit confused because i actually quite liked this album. i probably wouldn’t listen to it again but i thought i would always hate them and i was wrong they’re not always insufferable. but part of me wonders if it was just pure relief because i hated them sooo much. anyways, not so bad. sometimes even a bit fun.
so make you feel my love is an amazing song, lyrically and musically, lyrically cause of bob, but not so musically… i have to admit, i prefer most covers of that song over his and adele’s version is one of my favourite songs ever, this song alone brings up the album and then on top of that, i actually didn’t mind this too tough, i preferred it to the other one i had to listen to. something about a door or the other side, i can’t remember but it was long and i enjoyed it. though him saying, ‘ i eat when i’m hungry, i drink if i have thirst’ or something like that was just… great storytelling bob, truly.
so i just went down such a good little rabbit role from his wikipedia and it is all so interesting, but i think even more than that, the most interesting thing is that i love the beach boys and without realising who he was, thought ‘oh this reminds me a bit of the beach boys’ on the first couple songs, but overall, it’s just a really good album in my opinion. so is the unreleased one. i really really like his vibe, i would give it a 4 but there’s actually two albums in one technically, and i really like both of them, so, it’s gonna have to be a 5.
a band that makes you want to be somewhere and be doing something and makes you remember memories so intensely. radiohead were an influential band for me and my friends between the ages of 12 - 18 in the early 2000s and i loved them then, i love them still and this album is perfect. the others must be on here and i just realised that i think all of them deserve a perfect score of 5, and not just for nostalgia, as the majority of their discography are in my playlists that i listen to frequently. they’re cool and timeless and just so fucking interesting - How to disappear completely??? like how amazing is that song?? Motion picture soundtrack??? Tree fingers, Kid A??? all on one album… everything in its right place?? honestly they’re all 5 and the lowest song is still a 4.5. I know i’m gushing but is there any other way to talk about them.
you know what. lorde had some great singles in 2013, i had them all on repeat. royals, tennis court, and something else… either way, those were great and then i know she’s a tumblr darling and yet i never thought to listen to the 2017 stuff. i honestly can’t wait!! can’t wait to get to summer to listen to this and lament all my past relationships and trials and tribulations to such poppy exuberance. i really like it! i listened to it again today and will likely do so quite a lot in the future.
pleasantly surprised, i actually really liked this
this was hmmm interesting. i will never listen to it again, but it doesn’t mean i hated it. i just won’t look for it again, but it was cool and weird and exactly why i love this project.
it was ok, i know some of the songs and it made me nostalgic for all those times me and my friends wanted to be cool and listen to blur in the early 2000s, but apart from a few of the songs i like, i wouldn’t listen to the album again….
hmmmmmm, chloe used to listen to System of a down and i heard some songs that she would play and i didn’t mind them, idk if that changes with age, but some of it was just so jarring. i wanted to like it but simply couldn’t enjoy the majority of it, however i didn’t hate it…
this was interesting. i read all the reviews and was worried i wouldn’t like it - and i’m not saying i loved it, but i did quite enjoy some of it, not the singles but there were other ones that were quite jolly and cool, i wouldn’t listen again, but didn’t hate it.
i didn’t hate this, i actually quite liked a lot of it, especially limelight, it was cool at times and interesting but i honestly think it was mostly forgettable…
this was fun and slightly nostalgic and has one of the best songs ever written - common people. it truly is fantastic, and i can listen to this again in its entirety, especially during summer. common people would be a 5 on its own, however the rest of the album isn’t the same level but still really good.
so, i actually enjoyed this and again, would listen to the album in its entirety, it’s summery and so so british and liked it as cosy, fuzzy background listening that absorbed into my daydreams and put a smile on my face.
oh my goodness! this must be a straight 5, purely because nearly every song on here is magnificent. I love this album so much!! and it just reminded me that thinking of you is one of the nicest, smoothest songs ever written. but this was truly an experience to have so many amazing songs, one after another. i would rate this higher than a 5 based on the fact that this is so far ahead of everything else. I honestly never knew that all of these songs that i love were on the same album, insane!!
this wasn’t anything special, but it wasn’t anything bad, i think it was just very run of the mill, there was a song or two that i found fun and a bit nostalgic even though i’ve never heard them before, there was a familiarity to the album which i enjoyed, i wouldn’t be mad if i heard the album again, but i wouldn’t go out of my way to.
hmmm. so this came on and straight away i was pretty hooked, this vibe is great and the whole journey of all the songs was catchy and fun. i wanted to be wearing different clothes and on my way to somewhere other than work and about to go do cool stuff after 6pm with my cool friends in the summer, and you know - that’s what makes an album great if i’m honest. makes you feel things ans wanna do things and relate to stuff. however for some reason i was expecting a female lead… would have probably been a 5 if it was.
this was better than i expected but still not something i care for… i wanted to love it because of how experimental it all seemed and some real cool sounds but at some point; it just became noise and i couldn’t really move forward after that unfortunately
i refuse to believe that Bob Dylan deserves to be on here again, like what the hell. however, Mr Tambourine was already in my liked songs and listening to it again, i do agree it’s a great song, however the issue i have with Bob is that, if you took all the songs i liked from all his albums and put it together - then it would be a 5 - no doubt. but there’s so much crap in between the gold. However; he does a mean harmonica, and i do love that sound so much, so for that song and the harmonica, it gets bumped up to a 3.
so, i’m in a conundrum. i really like his voice and flow, it’s chill and cool and the beats on top of that just make it sound so good. but then the lyrics are just the worst. just like all them old white guys being sexist and gross as hell, his over use of nigga and bitch really throws me off. maybe it’s cause i’m a black woman, but it just makes it hard for me to enjoy, and for that reason, it’s gonna be a low score from me tbh.
it was a long time since i listened to this, and i just feel like i don’t want to listen to it all again for a reason - it was ok but i didn’t love it, though it did have some interesting bits….
the 3rd song is alright… but just about. some of these songs sound like they’re made to be in a soundtrack. i don’t absolutely hate it, but i don’t really care for this so far. which is odd cause i have some nick cave songs saved in different playlists that i really like… maybe his music needs to be cherrypicked lol. i like this vocalising on the 5th song though
this was cool and chill and i loved the beats and would listen again.
i liked the majority of this actually, some of the songs were stand alone great and this album prompted me to finally create the 1001 playlist i wanted of all the songs i liked from this project that i didn’t already know, so well done Pearl jam. i would listen to quite a lot of the songs singularly but i doubt i’ll listen to the whole album again.
i’m so surprised i like this as much as i did. it was honestly so cool, and bluesy and jazzy and interests me enough to listen to more of them - i would have honestly given the album a 5 - i just sadly disliked the first and last song, but otherwise, cool stuff.
i like most of the songs on this album, it was nice at the time, it was nice now, pretty hurts and XO are my favourites (although XO reminds me of a break up from my ‘kind of’ long distance boyfriend from new york, odd time) beyoncé is a great singer and i appreciate a lot of her music tbf, it’s catchy and sometimes emotional and it always makes you wanna sing along which is always a + for me.
i wanted to like this more than i liked it. what perplexes me is that half the song could sound like actual crap (in my
opinion) and then the next half it was surreal and interesting and melted in my ears. if i could just chop most of the songs in half and take out 1 or 2, i would rate this a 5. all my tumblr girlies will hate me for this :/
this was interesting. i already liked c.r.e.a.m and most of the songs are actually a vibe, but i can’t get with all the violence, i just can’t do it lol - but it is a good and smart and funny album. Some of the backing vocals and beats are so so so good and unexpected, i really quite liked it, but just don’t care for explicit shit.
obviously it has a banger on here which automatically made me happy and nostalgic to listen to. I also love the name ‘Saint’ and ‘Etienne’. it is actually an ok album to have on in the background and also most of the songs work to be on a movie soundtrack - it’s cool, it’s nostalgic, i like the samples and adlibs and beats, i can see why it’s on here.
i have heard of them obviously - but for a second i was expecting savage garden and got excited for Truly, madly, deeply. and was very disappointed. however that is not soundgardens fault. they’re good i guess, i just don’t like them so far. and to think the album is 1hr 10!!!!! i have to go middle of the road cause they’re not terrible but i would technically score lower if i started this whole process again and scored differently across the board. meh.
i like and hate this. catch the sun is great, and i’m sure i’ve heard Sea song somewhere before, i loved it. but how can it have such great highs and such low lows…. i’m torn how to rate it, but it’ll probably have to be middle just to be fair.
such a lovely album, the first couple of songs were grand and then it fell off a bit for me, but then halfway through it got great again. but i need to do a little research about stuff cause his singing voice reminds me so much of Daniel Johnston, so now i wanna know who came first and inspiration and influence and all that jazz. it could have been a 5 if it wasn’t for 1/2 songs that jarred me.
ok, so this may be controversial but this album gave me hives. i actually feel sick listening to this, he has such a gross gross voice, i can’t finish this. it gives me heebie jeebies. and now the song about jesus loving children? this guy is a freak, i just know it, i hate this whole album. yuck.
all i know is that i’m not listening to 1hr 18 minutes of this album, any remixes and demos are not getting listened to. i’m hoping i like it though. so far i don’t lol. i’m on like the 4th or 5th song and i’m waiting to like it i’ll be so honest. i couldn’t finish this, it was giving me anxiety walking around the shop and i’m certainly not listening to it at home, i had like 3 more songs left, i’m quite confident i wouldn’t have liked them either. i would say there’s a lot of talent and some interesting voice talking techniques or what not, but it’s not for me unfortunately.
so much for this album. indie music has always been my thing and i was excited for this and then realised i’ve heard a couple songs before but it’s so insignificant. the actual music is quite nice, but this was so boring.
if this had been about 45 minutes long, i believe it could have been 5 stars, there was some real cool music and nice instruments and i enjoyed it quite a bit but it was just too long and full of some faff. i struggled how to score this but in the end, the unnecessary length and addition of worthless songs like Slut mean it’s just in the middle somewhere.
i mean. it’s obviously technically great. i can hear how good it is. and the third track is definitely my favourite. i’m just not a fan of 12+ songs and hour long albums: can’t you say what you need to in less time? but for mr fela i can let all that go and appreciate the importance of the album
smooth and luxurious, i enjoyed this with headphones and without, good background music. this is how i would have wanted that creepy stevie wonder to sound.
wow. i’m so bloody bored, i wanted to like this, truly. mostly because romeo & juliet is such a great song, and sultan swing is quite good. the rest is meh, i was annoyed i had to finish listening on my way home, so not a really good sign. but it’s not bad - i just don’t care about it. ohhh ok, wild west end just came on and i love it - reminding me of why this is such a great project.
i’m surprised. i read the reviews and laughed and shook my head in dismay. i did not want to spend over an hour listening to unoriginal 80s drivel. however, although i didn’t love it and it won’t leave a lasting impression on me, i really quite liked it. if it was more consistent it could have gotten a 4 from me…
i wasn’t sure what to expect other than the possibility of the Veronica mars song being on this album. i didn’t hate it, it sounded like stuff i’ve heard before, i actually really quite liked it, the song Good Morning. it woke something up in my brain. like, it set off all kinds of electricity in my brain and i fucking loved it. if they had all been like that; it would have been an easy 5. but i couldn’t quite give it that.
the songs before ‘one’ were dreadful. and all the ones after have been good and what i expected - not great but not shit.i however hâte ‘the fly’. i’ve finished it, it got better but i thought U2 would be better than this… middle of the road boring in my opinion.
i didn’t know there were this many people in the pogues. very interesting. i also think so far this is made for spring and summer, apart from the lovely addition of my favourite christmas song!! it’s funny, i never thought to listen to the pogues even though i love two of their songs and hold them dear to my heart. this is a great album so far and i’m really enjoying it.
