Felt very nostalgic, even though I never listened to Nirvana growing up, but this sort of music is what I gravitated towards when I first started to veer away from our 80's prog rock household (thanks dad). These days I listen to more softer stuff, do I think I would have enjoyed this more as a 20 year old than in my thirties. Enjoyed the more cacophonic stuff.
Sleepy but not in a good way. I'm a boring person but not this boring.
Really liked it! May need a couple of relistens to get a handle on it.
When I was delighted at first by Map of the Problematique and then disappointed when it turned out not to be an instrumental, I realized I just don't like the singer.
Airy, space-agey, chill
I must have heard this first before I'd learned English. So it's kinda hard to listen to this as music and not as hazy memories. Three stars?
I liked some of that jazzier songs, but other than that it didn't really register as spectacular
When some of the guitars started to remind me of Oasis, I knew I really liked this one!
Pretty good
Sort of definitionally sensual. I don't think I'd ever be like today I want to re-listen to this.
I really liked the first couple of songs, but then it started to wear on me. Maybe should not have listened to near bedtime. Dad music?
Another album I've heard before. I don't know if I'd ever listen to it on my own though. Pleasant enough for a Sunday morning. 3/5
Good biking music for my commute. Appreciated the instrumental tracks for breaks.
Groovy and pleasant. Dad music to the max.
There were a couple of songs I liked (We're in Your Corner, Good to be on the road Back home again), but in general just wasn't to my tastes.
Pleasant enough, but not particularly memorable.
Very cool jazz. I'm generally more into east coast jazz but this is nice too.
So smooth nothing stuck to the brain
Found this quote on Wikipedia: "The big problem with Disposable Heroes was that it was a record people listened to because it was good for them - kind of like broccoli." and I do tend to agree. The album is quite dense, and full of ideas on top of mostly moody beats. I was still glad to have heard this.
So many great songs
Ray Charles with an orchestra. Nice enoughm
Full of 90's irony in a way I really liked
I can appreciate an album with a song about the Seventh Seal
Neat little concept album and his voice is great
Probably good writing music
Whatever humor there might have been did not translate for the simple fact that the music and especially the rapping was like nails on chalkboard. My least favorite of this project so far.
Very nostalgic
Nice enough
Pretty good biking music
Pretty good, would probably be more impactful with the visuals
The kind of album I might start really loving after a couple of listens, but for now this
Quite long but some good songs. Latter Hal better imo
If it was half the length it would easily earn another star
A very nostalgic album for me as this was one of the first albums I ventured into when I started to listen to my 'own' music. Some of the lyrics are quite clunky now 15 years later but still familiar
Surprisingly enjoyable as I'm not much for harder music. Ozzy's voice is in a league of his own
Samey production in every song and her singing was samey too. Can't say I enjoyed this at all.
Energetic and raw are the only words for this
Perfectly charming. A best example of what a live album can be
Tunes were nice but did not stick particularly
I rather liked the instrumentals but maybe the singing wasn't to my tastes. Easily is a non-single highlight
An absolute delight from start to end
Pretty good. If you're really into southern rock, you're probably into this. For me this was pleasant enough, but not something I'll return to.
60's rock just ain't for me
I love me some art pop
Dreamy and lovely
The start of the album was enjoyable but by the end it was sounding like children's tv show themes, so two it is
It's alright but not my genre
The lyrics are so good, even if the music is quite simplistic
Perfectly alright with a couple of cool jazzier tunes
The beginning of the album was better.
Had some cool tunes
A classic for a reason. Enjoyed this a lot
It was alright, liked some of the songs a lot but in general am not that into 60's stuff
Alright but not too memorable
Wasn't really my thing
I knew them from Wolf Like Me and was delighted by this album. Definitely adding it to the regular rotation.
Chill and pretty melancholy music
Some really good stuff in there. I've yet to find a rap album skit I enjoy
Some classic tunes on there
My dad's favorite, a bit too all over the place for me
Im 32 I can only take so much of someone screaming die or fucker at me
Really liked this one
Summery BritPop
There were some songs I liked musically but I just can't get over the lyrics
Melodic and chill, the sort that after a couple of listens I might really start to love
Rootsy and fun
Classic blues
Very 90's British music
Just wasn't feeling this
Sounds like Bruce but more inside feelings
Another v British one
Just my kinds of tunes
Groovy and fun, just don't pay too much attention to the lyrics
A great discovery
Definitely achieves what it wants to. I can see myself listening to this and writing horror
Gets a bit repetitive and it's quite a long. Still good music. 3/5
Lively classical blues
Very very Irish
Had some good tunesm wasn't too big a fan of the slower tunes
Good stuff
Pretty good
Never heard of her but definitely will listen to more of this
There was a row of songs in the middle (6-8) that if the whole album had been like that, it could easily be four stars. Otherwise it was a bit too adult contemporary for me.
Very much my type of stuff
The first half is pretty fun, but as a whole it's quite incoherent. 3/5
I like her voice. The whole album is sonically quite dark. Something I would have liked more when I was younger I think
Pretty good
Aretha is a classic but not my tempo
The music is driving, the lyrics are complex and occasionally incomprehensible. A good time!
There were some interesting things but it did not grab me. Will have to give a relisten
Metallica had a hurdle to clear what with me not liking metal in general. The music is alright, but all the songs are soooooo long and the singer sings them all exactly the same, ugh. Orion was my favorite as it has no singing, tho that too could cut like 3 minutes.
Quite interesting, some cool ideas, pretty long too
Her voice is pleasant, but the songs do run together, at least towards the end
Cheery and fun!
Whole album of this just got way too annoying.
There was one song I kinda liked, rest was annoying
Very witty very classic country. Hovering between 3 and 4
Incredibly tender tunes 3,5/5
Born to Run song slaps. I think I need a few relistens to get a grasp of the full album
Not my speed but I can see why it's well liked.
I think if the album was like... Even 5 songs shorter I would have no problem giving it a 4. I think I'm going to go with three because I can't see myself relistening to this
There were two songs I liked Dirge and Lever Street. Otherwise quite long and repetitive
Very different from the usual which is fun
Lyrically much more interesting than musically.
Samba jazz is pleasant, more chill than the sort of noir-jazz I usually listen to. Can see myself listening to this again as background music, but definitely not my favorite
CCR is very of its time and influential. Lots of noodling and heavy accents. As a whole, alright with some definite highlights.
Sheryl Crowe is alright, doesn't really stick
Classic for a reason. After this project I can really appreciate a band that can keep mist of their songs less than 5 minutes
Setting aside what I feel about Ms swift as an institution, there's no doubt that she is in a league of her own. There were a couple of songs I adored, notably Style and Wildest Dreams. Some I disliked intensely, Shake it off chief among them. The production is sometimes a bit much, I generally like her folkier stuff.
Very very 80's
Interesting. Might need some relistens
Haven't listened to them before, but will return to them. Moody 90's female-led rock. Very good!
A good time!
I like jazzy stuff, but the humor and the singing brought this down to a two.
Wonderfully melancholic
Very nice classic country
There were some interesting musical ideas but a lot of it was just annoying. So many songs where a line was repeated ad nauseam
Picked the wrong album at first because this dude has four albums named after himself. The music is just alright
Pretty good classic rock sound
Loved a bit of instrumental music, rare in this project. Good writing music
Soulful and smooth. She has a beautiful voice. Very 80's sound.
Really liked this acoustic folksy album.
By all accounts I should love Joni Mitchell based on all the stuff I like, but idk, this was a bit too rambly for me. Might require several listens.
Felt quite appropriate to get this album today as the news of Parton's passing came last night. I've never listened to much of her or Ronstadt or Harris as American country wasn't big here, but I knew of her, of course I did. The album is lovely and soothing and quite melancholic at times. I enjoyed it quite a lot. RIP Dolly.
Couple of bangers in there.
I got about 5 seconds in, and was blasted in the face by "Oh, I've definitely heard this before". One of the albums I heard often at home as a kid. Very good.
Some of the more noisier/esoteric songs were the sort of thing I liked, but this album was a lot, and most of the songs weren't good at all. Did not hate it, wouldn't want to listen to it again.
Both Nico and Lou Reed have such wonderful distinctive voices.
It's alright, but not my tempo.
Couple of good pop tunes, but as a whole not for me. The slower songs were the point where I kept checking how long still to go, which is not a great sign...
80's power walking music
It's alright.
