Solid album. I wasn't very familiar with Janis' work before this but I can see why Janis eventually went off to have her own. Technically sound, and I personally like the live album gimmick, but it's not something I think I would revisit. "Piece Of My Heart" is a classic though.
Another solid offering, one I've heard over bits and pieces over the years. Although probably massive at the time I think it's probably a little dated. Some bangers/classics on this for sure.
Lots of songs I never heard that really makes you appreciate Marley outside of the mainstream songs that are always on rotation. Excellent, no notes.
Apart from one song (you know the one) not exactly memorable, but I understand their historical significance. Just wish the album could match. Still, progressionally and sonically well done.
Classic record. This era of Kanye has always been a favorite of mine, and this album is no exception. Jazzy, clean, and soulful. Grateful to get a chance to listen to this again all the way after so many years. Realisitically a 4.5
Easiest 5 I'll put on this. I've lost track of the number of times i've listened to this in full over the years. However, to me Kid A will always be closer to my heart.
Dense and brilliant songwriting with production to match. One of the best ever.
This rules why the hell didn't I know about it before?
This is fine. The songwiriting and muscianship is obviously good, but I can't say I was ever really wowed even in the context it was released.
I'd give this a 3.5 if I could. Some standout tracks ("Remind Me"), and an overall consistent vibe that I give a good to great.
Right up my alley but I don't know if this is something I will revisit. The atmosphere is great, as well as the production. Everything has it's place nothing feels too busy.
The amount of times I've listened to this in the past, it would be hard to not be biased. Admittedly (before listening) the album can be a bit all over the place but that's also part of the charm! Demon Days perfected the projects of formula of pulling from all sorts of influences, but this laid the foundation for it. Great album with some absolute classics that still stand out, but there's a few areas that feel more likely sketches.
Full of bangers, and some of catchiest songs you'll ever hear.
