He sings
One of a couple of the decent Knaye records.Production is timeless but the older it gets the more deficient as a rapper he sounds, imo
Ive heard it. They wrote sexy boy about me
ive been workin. like a dog
fly me to the moon!
Classic for a reason. True story. Mick wrote Monkey Man because he wanted a banana
Aersomith is good for Sweet Emotion. No when this came out. Life is too short to ever have to listen to this again and i will not re-do now. No, Nope, Puke.
I think I got this on cassette from Columbia 12 for a penny. "You might not like it now but you will" Stone cold killer. Dirk wears white socks.
i skipped this when it came out because, indie rock snob, but i got into her by the next one and it was good to sit down and re-listen to this with focus. Solid debut!
Soul n funk and politics oh my! So good.
ive listened to this album 1 million times. I own a set of garden Gnome Roses. Never a bad listen.
all the songs sound the same but in the best possible way (hi neil young, ramones, mark kozelek)
Kinda decent debut
Its totally hunky dory
the subject matter on this album is scary.
All over the map. Should be sold w a bong. Need to listen a couple more times, i think.
Great stuff. Odd sequencing, imo. Every dong is a jam or a make out session
Really dug this. Knew the hits, of course. Can't believe this is thew first time ive listened to it cover to cover. Timeless and great
Suave danceable psb
I liked it better then i thought i was gonna. Kinda in the thrash metal, slayer mold in my mind. Not a bad one to have on while working out.
Classic
funkity funk funk, funkity funk funk, look at Georgie go.
The only xmas album worth listening front to back besides the Low Xmas EP
Right about now, the prog funk brother. This album sounded like proto-phish. Not a fan.
Honestly we need half stars. 3.5 is legit. Fun record that launched a thousand glam rockers. Pretty great even if I never need nor want to hear Bang A Gong again. It's a nice day-starter this morning, hadn't put in on in a minute.....
im gonna need to listen to this 2 or 3 more times i think. there were moments that rubbed me wrong and moments i really loved. My snap judgement would be a 3.5. I could see it growing with repeats though. I'd love to hear a Nick Lowe produced version.
The only steely dan i ever wanna hear is Tony Soprano singing "Dirty Work" This is a big bowl.of suck.
Cant lie
proto 90s indie rock. 3.5 really. Repeated listens are rewarded. GBV and early Sebadoh fans will find common ground.
Maybe no vocals would make it better for me. Its like unicorns and castles. Isk. Was hard to get through for me.
Sweet Emotion is all I need from this band. Fine, sure. They are a solid/great bar band. Just can't stand Steve Tyler's voice and delivery and I already own the good Rolling Stones records so I fail to see the point. 2.5
Yasssssss. Its a good un
dope af.
nope. Proof that sales do not always correlate to quality
but i already own all the good Rolling Stones albums
kick it!
it really starts to come together on this one and Dylsan os the BEST
jagged pop. i love this record.
bleak never sounded so good. "Bruce Barry was a working man he used to drive that Econoline van"
solid commercial pop
im lost in the supermarket. i can no longer shop happily. 4.5
Love me love me. say that you love me. Like cotton candy.
just super pop. never a bad call to spin this one
Good stuff. This electronic thing might be a fad tho
PERFECT POP
Nebraska, Western Stars, Darkness, BITUSA, Born To Run, The River..... This is a really good rock record
A pretty great return to form. A late career solud set up for Blakstar
3.5 Bee Thousand is the best!
Run to the hills. Run for your life! Such a great record. Riff city
3.5. It has moments of great and turd but mostly solid.
If you can't find the groove the problem is you
Get stoned 1st
Classic blues rock. Quality. I had never listened to this before but i'm glad i did
Meh. 2.5
Flawless end to end. Keep your hands off the bay!
What a fantastic record. I have no idea how this never came to my attention in 2009.
devastating break up record. maybe one of the best ever. 4.5
A little to prog/noodley for my tastes but had a lot of good moments
First time listening and was surprised at how good it is. Thought it would be dour and i was so wrong.
I think this would benefit if it were shorter. 3.5
changed the game for ambient forever. Good shit.
Staten Island came to get down. Cash ruins everything around me.
So good
Best of the solo records better than everything except 36 Chanmbers
Stone Cold Classic, all killer, no filler
it's not bad chugga chugga
such a great morning driving album. Well, anytime, really but especially great at the break of dawn :)
What a debut
2nd best RM
Love the Native Tongue stuff.
4.5 would be 5 if not for Silver. They should have put Into the White or Manta Ray on instead.
OG classic. If you don't like this after a few listens, it's you.
Some bright spots, mostly turgid. I bet Phish fans would find a lot to love here. That was a slog
I think this is my fave EC. Today, at any rate.....4.5
Very pleasant. Will spin again. 3.5
Famous jazz
Such a perfect record.
One of the most perfect driving around the hills of Los Angeles at night albums ever. It's true
So good. You forget he's so much more than the overplayed tunes sometimes. At least I do. Subtle and direct. Not just stoner music but i was high when it was on
First time ever listening to this and it's remarkable that Sultans of Swing was sequenced so deep in the mix. Solid. 3.5
Great record. Especially when placed in the context of its time, what else was popular/prevalent. My only quibble is i think it is a touch too long and could have benefited from a lil trim.
Such a momentous leap in turntable culture.
solid. up and down. some great tracks and some dodgy ones.
perfection
3.5
Not many artists can release not one but 2 essential double albums with all killer, no filler, but we're talking Prince here. If you dont understand how amazing this is life is wasted on you
3.5 for me, really. I love it and it's also kinda just the same song sorta. Lyrics sure are rainbows and sunshine too lol
i couldnt force myself past the 5th track. And i feel like i endured enough to make me put on a Minor Threat record as a cleanser
zzzzzzzzzzzz
Genius level stuff.
Classic shite. The beating, bleeding heart of rock and roll's birth.
I never listened to any of the solo CSN stuff before untill this one (ive listened to PLENTY of NY) I was really surprised at how much i liked this. Will get into the mix now for sure. 4.5
It was ok. I'll giver it another go because sometimes records are growers.
Perfect
Purple perfection. Rock style
bliss
3.5 really. fun record
2.5/3.0 Not my bag but has it's moments. Super competent and if you like a light Jazz, early to mid 80s style, this might click for you. I liked the more downbeat tracks best. The dub vibe on the title track at the end was a pleasant diversion
The 2 singles (LA Woman, Riders of the Storm) are great. Otherwise, a lot of wank. The Doors Greatest Hits is the only Doors one needs.
My Favorite Bowie record.
Lick my legs, I'm on fire
So good. If you weren't alive at this time it might be hard to understand how foundational this one has been for the last 2 decades..... 4.5
4.5 It's a good un
