While listening to the album I wasn't getting too much into the songs but somehow learning about the release of this album surrounding Bowie's death it explains a lot. The lyrics are him giving his farewell to his fans and a send off the best he could. While the genre of the album might be rock or jazz, to me it is sci-fi space.
I had never really listened to The Cure before this album and I have to say I'm a bigger fan than I thought I would be. The album starts slow with a very plain song opening. Maybe that opening elevated the other songs or maybe it was better without including it. This album only has a few weaker songs and that could be due to my preferences, not because they are objectively weak songs. This album stands as one of the most consistent albums from a quality standpoint that I've heard in a while.
This album was very consistent when came to overall tone, quality, and themes of the album. I enjoy the folk genre for it's up lifting feel and this album didn't disappoint.
Overall, this album was fairly decent but not exactly my favorite genre. I recognized some of the songs from Good Will Hunting which is one of my favorite movies. I think this connection raises my appreciation of the album but I still find it too "whispery" for the most part.
Old school rock
This album goes hard. Crazy Toy Story vibes throughout. Such an amazing voice to tie it all together.
The album was overall very solid. I enjoyed the atmosphere that these songs created. I particularly liked the song M which had a lot of range to it.
Banger of an album. A mix of storytelling and music that brings a very authentic Western vibe.
This album has a few good songs but mostly feels week and weird. I have to think this music inspired so much that came after it so it has that but the album could be better.
Sounds classic and holds up pretty well. A few great songs with different styles to keep it fresh.
This album has some great songs but also so many terrible songs or parts to songs. Sometimes it sounds like they forgot how to play a certain instrument and let them parts ruin otherwise good songs. Somewhat reminds me of the Backstreet boys but better music out there for sure.
Certified banger of an album. These songs have an old-school vibe but definitely do not sound dated. No idea what he is saying but the musical talent is there.
Jazzy instrumental that is great for a listen. Upbeat and playful.
An all time great rap album. Kendrick really liked to experiment with his sound and had several styles that he used to perfection. He is not just a rap bot but bring a message with a variety of styles. A few week songs but overall a solid album.
Snoop is Snoop and not much has to be said about that. This album is solid but definitely feels dated. You can tell there was a real passion for this album with a lot of variety in voices and beats but sometimes that made it feel more like a student project than a real album.
To think someone would add this to their top 1000 albums is crazy. It is not bad music but it is very simple and boring. It is closer to 80s and '90s video game music with someone chanting the same lyrics for three minutes longer than needed.
Strong album from a legend of his time. I will not this is the pinnacle of music but what this album brings is gangbanging real-world vibes that you can't replicate without real-world experience. Biggie captures a time and place with his music that feels authentic and does it with class through his lyrical wordplay.
Heard their most famous songs growing up often and that shows how much they still hold up today. Their styles is unique and they aren't afraid to change styles. Feed your head!
I went in with low expectations thinking I wouldn't like Lana Del Rey and turns out I was wrong. This album is pretty solid with Lana showing off the range of her voice but also capturing several feelings.
Decent album with a unique heavy metal sounds to it
This album goes hard. Very upbeat heavy metal that doesn't slow down.
Pretty unique album that has a wide range of sounds and instruments. Cannot deny creativity of this band and love for their music.
It sounds good overall but just not for me I guess. The singers voice isn't the best but I usually like that out of tune voice to compliment the technical instruments. Here it just doesn't work that well.
This album has a very fresh and uplifting feel to the music. I love the electronic mix with the strong vocals. Clowns and A&E are standout songs that make this album great.
Pretty catchy punk rock. I could see how they would be iconic for their time with standout vocals and instrumentals.
Less than mid
Actually bad
Pretty decent album. Unique hip-hop mix.
Very classy and jazzy songs. My Girl is a standout song for sure. Very much holds up today.
Pretty decent classic songs
Techno club music just isnt for me. Not bad but not great.
Adele
Bangers on bangers on bangers
Kinda interesting but not for me.
A little too much dad rock for me but I really enjoyed the indie psychedelic vibes. Street Joy stands above the rest!
So mid it hurts
Pretty meh and just not for me
Banger of a jazz album
