Chill, easy listening…a little dull
Fine back ground listening, but not many songs caught my attention
I have always wished that I could enjoy the Pixies. Unfortunately, I think I’m just too uptight. There is the well known banger on this album: Where is my mind, which of course I love, but other then that I find the rest of the songs all a bit too shouty, piercing and fast.
This is my first ever proper PJ Harvey listen. This album gave me a some good feelings. It has swagger with some story telling. Although nothing really caught me enough to make me want to listen again
1 star rubbish/full 3 stars alright good back ground 5 stars it really caught me, a great experience
good stuff, easy listening, satisfying, catchy 1 star: dull rubbish 3 stars: alright, good as back ground, wouldn’t save it to my playlist 5 stars: it really caught me, a great experience, I will listen to again and again
1 star: dull rubbish 3 stars: alright, good as back ground, wouldn’t save it to my playlist 5 stars: it really caught me, a great experience, I will listen to again and again OMG! What an experience! I have always avoided EW&F (due to a preconceived notion that I don’t like funk), but This album has got some wonderful messages of self empowerment and love. Very special. While I might not save any of the tracks in my play list, I’m giving it a 5 for the positive vibes, All about Love actually gave me tears
Not my thing, to much funk and no lyrics, but the ability of the musicians is undeniable
Graceland has always been one of my favourite albums
An alright listen, although didn’t really catch me
I tried, just could not get into it…
Painful. I tried. I just couldn’t.
This album is awesome, it’s atmospheric, instrumental, with beautiful singing and catchy lyrics. But all the songs are a very similar: everything and nothing stood out
So it turns out I’m an LL Cool J fan. Great music to commute to, if I was someone who listened to albums rather than just songs (off my own steam) I would definitely listen again. Smooth rapping, great beats
Reminds me of Joni’s Mitchell, not a terrible album, although I don’t think I’d listen again
It was a good listen, of course, although nothing really caught me. I probably wouldn’t put on again..
I really enjoyed this album, maybe the electric stuff got a little too loud but when they go folksy, yum, I liked it so much I easily listened twice
this is very good album. I was initially put off from having heard the radio over playing some of the songs (Fast Car, revolution, lines,,) but actually every track is a banger, all very easy to listen to. Tracy deserves a 5
I’m a Beatles fan although I don’t think their original tracks on this album are the best while the covers are all great
I’m not a fan, not bad playing or singing, some nice scores, but nothing to get your teeth into. It’s more of a poetry album, which is not what I’m looking for.
Really good background music to sew to! Yet nothing memorable for me
I really enjoyed this album all the way through. My favourite from the list so far, so much so i listened thrice!
I have always found Nick Drake easy to listen to…although the music doesn’t suit all moods, it is lovely 4.5
If I liked this kind of music, it would probably be a decent version of it, listening was fairly easy, but it really is just not my thing
This was OK, but didn’t quite match the high hopes I had after reading the description on Spotify. It was a bit flat, and in some parts a bit cheesy, but there was some nice instrumental parts 3
It’s a good album, Amy was awesome, easy to listen to. not a 5 for me but a 4.5
It has taken me a couple of listens to be able to get through Marquee Moon. Nearly all of the songs had very appealing musical scores (if that is the right phrasing) although nothing really caught me. I think if i were to listen to this album regularly, it might grow on me…otherwise I just kept hearing the Talking Heads! I’m going to give them a 4 because they are better than a 3
I had already heard a few of the songs on Nilsson Schmilsson and had always liked them, but would never have put them as the same artist (ex. Gotta get up/coconut) I didn’t love every song, but I enjoyed it as a whole
I preferred this much more than Surfer Rose, it was an easy, good quality album
Never heard of The xx, but wow, I enjoyed this album so much…from the start, so atmospheric and easy to listen to…
This album was alright, nothing offensive, but nothing to really grip onto
A great album, but I’m going to be picky and give it a 4 because even though this is definitely my favourite era of jazz, I do prefer it with lyrics, it just wasn’t quite Louis Armstrong enough
This was good, atmospheric, didn’t love every song but did pick a few favourites:wild at heart, CTOTCC and Breaking up slowly.
Lust for life and Passenger are amazing songs. The rest of the album was alright, but not memorable, I have no urge to repeat again 3
Some lovely tracks and some absolutely awful tracks, some to dance with and some to skip
I really enjoyed this album, after never listening to the Beastie Boys before, I really like the instrumental parts, and just the lovely smooth chaotic mix. Although no tunes have stuck out to me, I don’t think that’s what music like this is for, it’s a package. I
I enjoyed that, it got me out of a mood. I got a bit worried at the first song, that this album would be difficult, but the 2nd song was good, and from then on it was easy sailing, with a decent groove on the last tune… nothing that memorable but my morning commute went peacefully
This album is a jazz rap fusion, It took me a while to get into, I can respect the work as a complete piece of poetry, but found it quite irritating..
I enjoyed that, didn’t think I would. I probably wont listen again (unless I suddenly become 20years younger and need to edit a skate stunt video) It’s very good and bouncy American punk ska!
Great background: nothing memorable, nothing disturbed
I would consider Since I Left You to be a very good after party wind down album, (not my scene but if it was this is what I’d put on)
This was mega chill, I would never have chosen it, I cannot remember any of the songs but it was an easy listen 4/10
This album was alright, fairly easy to listen to, some good bits, but not really memorable, in some parts I found the singing a little bit difficult
easy listening, on the edge of surreal folk music. Nothing caught me straight away, but with every song flick back (while I write this review) I grow fonder with a quick familiarity
I would have liked some drugs for this album, it was chill and atmospheric . Lots of vibes, definitely would have been nice to listen to from a bean bag with a lava lamp rather then on the central line I’d never heard anything from the band before but I did loose interest a bit during the middle and can’t really remember anything from it
F it, this is a 5, clearly brilliant music. Wish I could go out dancing in the late 50’s to a Little Richard Concert, I bet it would be such a good night… My reservations in giving a straight 5, is that as an album all the tracks are quite similar, with no room to chill out. Does go well as a background for dough kneading (Especially rip it up)
I listened to the whole thing and I thought it was awesome. I was dubious about the length, but found it very easy, and weirdly familiar, basically a fusion of well known songs from the last 80 years through the genres of folk, pop, electro etc…I heard Jonny Cash, Pulp Fiction, Paul Simon, Bonzo Dog Doo Dar Band, Belle and Sebastian, Pet Shop Boys,… So much more, I can’t even place. A great piece of work, although the comedy did make me feel a bit trolled when ever I started feeling sentimental or enjoy the tunes
Anyone one listening to Frank can appreciate the talent of Amy, although the song subjects are very much those of a teenager, and so weren’t as interesting as they might have been at an earlier time in my life. My favourites were: Cherry, Amy and f me pumps…they were great.
Nice, very 60’s…nothing stood out that much, I could listen again for sure…
Ea-sy Listening !
Not my kind of music, but I can appreciate that it’s a good version of whatever that is
Where did our love go and Tained Love are excellent excellent songs, the rest (disappointingly) was rather meh 2/5
That was alright, didn’t concentrate very well, but no complaints
This album was very difficult for the first 3 songs when it picked up and became tolerable. i respect Bowie as an icon, but in regards to his music, apart from the one song : sound and vision (which is one of the most wonderful songs ever-not on this album) I have rarely enjoyed any of his music (oh of course don’t forget Starman!)
A really good album!
I would listen again
That was wonderful, such goood music! Makes me nostalgic for a scene I am to young to have ever been part of. I would never have looked for or found this on my own (I’m more Buddy Holly or Prince Buster, and generally I need lyrics) But give me a glow stick I want to go raving !
