Green River funky and country twang to it. Pretty good but some vocal inflections not really my thing, sound unnatural and a style choice.
Bad Moon Rising is an obvious hit, jangly and more simple rhyming singing, plus nostalgia hearing it in TV and movies over the years.
As the album gets towards the end I do get a bit sick of the guitar. Starts to feel like worse versions of the songs I already heard, not too much different musically.
I won't be considering it one of my favorite albums but definitely admire the big singles/hits from this band.
Don't really like the skits and intro. The big singles and classics are definitely better than the rest.
So interesting that he was about 21/22 rapping this album, can't imagine him being that age or a kid these days doing an album like this.
Hearing Nate Dogg is a real reminder of how good a voice he had, so many great choruses. RIP.
First song has this feel from the style that you've heard it before even though I'm absolutely certain I've never heard that song before.
The Lip is a funny song, nice change of pace from modern music where there's so much vulgarity and darkness to just hear something light and not taking itself seriously - while simultaneously not being music for kids.
After listening to the album looking up Wikipedia learned I've definitely heard him before on the song Pennies From Heaven as as a voice from The Jungle Book. Cool that this project makes me dig into old classical music that I never would have otherwise.
Fine, techno-y, good for background music, goes on a bit too long per song for me. Personally not something I can enjoy very purely like "I wanna hear this".
Really like Money and Us and Them... some songs go on too long. Brain Damage is great song, reminds me of The Beatles.
Can't connect with most of the lyrics. Raised on Robbery more upbeat I dig it. The slower folk songs I'm not too high on. Sounds boring compared to even the singer-songwriter stuff from today, maybe she's talking about things I can't relate to not sure.
I don't consider myself a country fan but Johnny Cash definitely stands out with storytelling. The beginning song where he's saying "wanted man" and the fact he's performing at a prison is quite amazing. And he really has the crowd. I've never been into live albums but this is definitely feeling... like an outstanding one. Sure the sound isn't as good as studio songs but him being at a prison is just genius, I am wondering who was the first performer to do that... because I think I have heard Elvis doing it?
Not my style but I do appreciate some of it. I like the spoken word storytelling of Hippie Boy, some of the country songs and even the lyrics are not my style.
Pretty cool to hear garage sounding rock from the 60's... a lot of the same song structure I've seen from other acts but I hear some more lo-fi and dirtier vocals than pop versions. I love the song Night and Day with the background vocal jarring with the main singer's. A lot of the best songs are just covers which makes me not give this the highest rating, but I did enjoy listening.
I don't really like the music but the vocals are so interesting, don't know if I have heard anything like it.
I don't like jazz, don't understand the appeal, sounds like background music.
