These musicians go off sometimes and it's exciting to hear. They sound like they are really having a great time (especially in the first track).
I've listened to a small amount of big band, jazzy blues in the past (mostly through the Fallout video game series), but this album lost my interest halfway through. I still finished it, however my heart wasn't in it as much.
There's some fun tracks though.
At first I didn’t think this was for me but as the album played on, I found myself getting into it. This genre is still not my typical choice but I can see how Prince became as iconic as he was.
Intriguing instrumentation, surprisingly explicit lyrics, and a clear passion for wanting people to have fun and dance. It’s definitely intoxicating and I can see how it ended up on this list.
I would rate it 3.5/5 stars, but I can’t do halves!
This is one of my favorite albums! I listened to it for the first time last year and fell for it instantly. Those iconic guitar textures are on another level and the general vibe of the entire album just rocks! A must listen for alternative rock fans. “Mayonaise, “Geek USA,” and “Silverfuck,” are favorites.
I was thinking from Track 1 that I may enjoy this but very quickly it felt repetitive and I wasn’t as into it.
I loved listening to an early rock opera and it was a very creative story. It got repetitive especially towards the end. Some good songs mixed in though.
Just pure rock from start to finish. Everyone involved knew the assignment. I would give it 4.5/5 stars only because some of the 80’s synth sound isn’t my style and sounds a bit outdated.
I’m just not a fan of The Rolling Stones. Sympathy for the Devil was pretty cool and the clean guitars and slide guitar had a great tone and texture, but the lyrics and overall mood of the album was at best kind of boring and at worst creepy. I understand The Stones are very influential, but I’m not giving with them.
This has a clear sound and I enjoy parts but I wasn’t a fan of it song to song. So much of it sounded the same and I kept losing focus. Maybe I’m just not into R.E.M. but that’s part of the fun of doing this project.
Orange Crush was definitely in a Guitar Hero or something and that brought me back, and Stand is featured in one of the funniest moments in Parks and Rec, so there’s definitely ways this album has endured haha
Really wonderful! I enjoyed the feeling of being in a club listening to Sarah Vaughan live in concert! The recording was so crisp and her voice was lovely.
I’m not super into the jazzy scatting but there was only a bit in this one compared to Louis Prima. Definitely would listen again!
The sound of Parallel Lines is simultaneously classic and ahead of its time. There were many riffs and melodies that sounded straight out of today. There’s no denying Blondie rocked!
Nice instrumental jazz. For the most part it created a relaxing vibe while I made dinner. A quick listen too! If you’re interested in jazz there’s no reason to skip it!
Not too bad. Definitely some fun guitar riffs throughout the whole album. The band doesn’t take themselves too seriously and it sounds like they just had some fun with it.
I really enjoyed this! I think I’m learning I’m into prog rock. Moonchild was cool and also wavered further into the art rock side and lost me just a bit. Overall a really interesting listen with some great musicality!
This album is pure rock n roll. Just a master fully in control of his instrument. There are some of the most creative riffs and beats in rock music throughout the album. There’s a reason Jimi Hendrix is always at the top of best guitarist lists.
Fantastic from beginning to end. The drums on this album are phenomenal; groovy and full of fills.
Guitar riffs that are simultaneously heavy and kinda funky. Just all around great hard rock jammin’!
I love Beyoncé’s music! I think this album has some bangers and incredible slower emotional songs that she’s known for. Since this album came out, all three albums that she’s made are better than this one but this is still a strong 4!
Great listen and so short that there’s no reason to skip it. All of the songs have such a nice smooth vibe and never overstay their welcome. An easy, nice album!
This is an all time rock classic. Stevie’s voice and Lindsay’s guitar riffs are legendary.
