Hot Buttered Soul
Isaac HayesThe arrangement was so familiar also like jazz each song is full of improvisation.

I thought I knew their discography. Pleasant surprise.
Ironic view of the good ol’ days and criticism of cultural stagnation. Also use of Village Green in Hot Fuzz is on the nose.
Don’t like the Beatles. Lucy in the Sky with diamonds is absolutely about drugs.
Radio friendly silliness.
This was an event.
Weirdly all songs sound the same.
Gave up second song in. Too sad for me.
No Refused to listen. In this case i am not separating art from the artist.
Brilliant album. All songs are consistently soulful.
Interesting And fresh
The theme was interesting
Very 80s
Lyrics not complicated, but the talent is on show.
Very melodic
Exceptionally boring. If makes you wonder why they never broken the US this album can clearly demonstrate why.
Interesting and full of charm. Didn’t like the use of certain word in “rednecks”, but understand the reason why satire of southern Americans would use it.
Whenever I listen to run for the hills I’m somewhat bothered by the discrepancy between singing and drums, because they are not at the same time. Listening to the whole album I realised that the drummer is really bad. They don’t keep the same time as the rest of the instruments.
It was missing a hit. Very consistent.
Surprised
Not as good as Graceland.
Mark E Smith cannot sing. The music is interesting.
Surprisingly interesting
Drug references and misogyny, while sounding like Beatles and the Rolling Stones
Not bad. Couple of hits.
Monotone and preachy
Album no longer available in full on Spotify. Listened to main single. It was ok.
Poetic and slow
Tough listen when you’re sad.
Loved it. Every song tells a story and they are catchy as well.
You can hear references to other compositions, like Rapsody in Blue. Really good!
Every song sounds the same.
As good as Folsom Prison.
It supposed to be atmospheric, but it’s just annoying.
Not my kind of vibe. Found it distracting. Appreciate the artistry.
So Psychodelic and harmless.
It has one radio friendly single and the rest is a stoner album.
With the exception of 1 song most of the songs sound very similar.
Of it’s time. A little preachy with gated reverb.
Boooooring!
Songs to sing by the campfire with a guitar.
Calm and steady. I knew Our House before.
Background noise
Pleasant, but not memorable.
Came to it with reservations, but the album was surprisingly interesting. The songs had a great style and content together with the message. Found the interludes a little preachy, but not super distracting. Her voice is very soothing.
You can hear the roots that will become reggae music.
We are Portishead! And we are here to make you think of death and stuff!
It doesn’t know what it wants to be. There is plenty of songs that sound very britpop, but also random punk-ish song thrown in the middle. Quite incoherent stylistically.
It sounds like it’s been a one take singing in to a can quality. All songs are covers of popular songs, but Blue Suede Shoes definitely stands out. Blue Moon is interesting.
Loud, brash and great.
Not my vibe. Sounds too much like The Police.
All the hits. Knowing me knowing you is definitely my favourite.
He crooned his way through a heartbreak. Very depressing. A year later he moves to singing swing, which we know him so well for. This one is alright.
Enjoyable and interesting.
