That was dope. Very easy to listen to. Had listened to a lot of the tracks before but never as an album.
I have to give this a 5. It's just so easy to listen to. This is life's soundtrack.
Timeless. Holds up so well.
I wish I could yell and have it sound bad ass like that.
Quite good.
Great album. Very easy to listen to for me.
I can appreciate the rhythm and beats, but the album was too repetitive for me. I'm happy to have heard it.
Had to muscle through it. My friend has been obsessed with Waits since we were in our early 20s, so I've heard it all before. I'm a fan of him as an artist, but it's hard to get into his music sober, for me at least. I also remember finding out he was wasn't a drunk irl and being disappointed. I was young. Now I find that cool.
I liked a few tracks a good amount, specifically track 2 (Dance Kalinda Ba Doom). Not something I would listen to every night, but something I could get into every once in a while.
I've not listened to too much Joni Mitchell in the past, but her music still sounds familiar. Great album, I feel it's one I need to listen to more to really appreciate it. I'd like to revisit this album again soon.
I was initially not really enjoying it but at about the 4th song I started thinking hmm, this is all still super relevant. "Your flag won't get you into heaven anymore".
Lovely.
The album was chill and melodic. Pleasant the entire album, more than that in parts.
I accidently listened to the first disc of the "Deluxe" version of Introducing, so I heard some longer cuts. I thought the album was dope. Something I wouldn't mind listening to on a chill day at home. Loved it.
Hit after hit. "Don't Panic" specifically is a song I still play once in a while, it's so beautiful. Great album.
I believe I liked the second half of the album more than the first...unless the sound just took a little to grow on me...I'll have to listen again. I would have to say parts reminded me of some of the Father John Misty stuff I've heard. Not a bad thing.
I've always considered "Time After Time" one of my favorite songs of all time. Oddly I'd never thought to listen to the album it was on. Of course some of the songs were very familiar to me, having been alive in the late 80s...albeit very young. I have to add that I appreciated the synthesizer sounds this album puts out, they felt magical here and there, like they do.
I don't really know where this album ranks among other super famous/celebrated albums. It's not up there for me. The lyrics didn't resonate a whole lot and it's a pace wasn't something I was able to get in sync with. To conclude, none of my favorite Elton John songs are on this album, and I have a few.
I'd never heard of this band or any of their songs really, though it sounded so 90's familiar. The songs felt polished but they didn't pop for me. Good music, but none of the songs stuck with me. I never got that interested.
That was not the experience I was expecting from a prince album. Prince was about 29 when this album was put out. The album was a bit of grind to be honest, but with moments of flare. I hit the Spotify "like" button on one of the tracks "Strange Relationship". Nice deep cut to have in the back pocket.
I'd only ever heard of "The Replacements", it's good to now know some of their music. So much music that came after these guys sounds like these guys.
First thought was that the album did not sound 80s. Definitely ahead of their time.
Honestly not what I expected. I really only knew Meat Loaf from "I'll do anything for love". It was a little circus(y) sounding but honestly not bad. Few songs but only 7 tracks. For some reason I was expecting a 2 hour album. I guess I had Meal Loaf wrong. Not bad. First half of album was more fun. Then it got sad and self loathing and not so good. Then some disco which was nice. Then it got sad again and fizzled out. I'm give the album 1 and a quart thumbs up. Out of 3 thumbs. Spotify kept wanting to switch over to the Rolling Stones. Kind of asking "Hey, isn't this better? What are you doing?". Anyway, pretty decent album. Better than I thought Meat Loaf would be.
I don't know if there has been a better song writer than Elliott Smith.
One of the more influential albums of my lifetime. This one changed everything for me.
There were some really nice melodies on this album.
I expected words for some reason. I won't hold that against the album. Interesting for sure. I would never complain about it being on, let's say that much.
I just don't like Sting's voice. The music can be fine. I think there are some quality tracks on this album, but they just ain't for me.
Nick Drake helped me define my definition of what's "Cool". He set a standard for what artistry could be.
This album didn't have a whole lot for me. I'd never heard of these guys. This came out while I was a senior in high school I think. I'd of not liked it back then.
I remember thinking this stuff was so lame in high school. I still do, but maybe a little less?
Not really for me. I did really enjoy the track "Hero" though.
I really enjoyed the album. I wish I could give this a 3 1/2. I was familiar with this bands radio hits, but never listened to an album. Great rock band. A lot of fun.
Perfect album. I remember buying my first set of high quality speakers and playing this album first to test them out. I was in love.
A punchy album.
There were parts of the album I would randomly love, the music was also technically very impressive. For me though, it was just to hard on the ears. I'm not the right audience.
Was worth it for "American Girl".
I feel weird giving this a 2 because the album is obviously so good. And there are more than a few songs I really like. But it’s long. Corgan said he aimed the album at people 14 to 24, and I felt that. The album was so long I almost quit this 1001 albums thing because I finally listened to the whole thing after many months of failed attempts. It’s like 2 hours of music.
Easy to listen to. Good music.
I almost liked a couple of the songs on this album.
Not what I expected at all from a "Blur" album. I really enjoyed the album.
Not enough there for me at this exact point in my life.
This album feels a little dated, which makes sense. There were parts that still felt good but a bit too much felt dry. Still you see you the skill.
I really enjoyed the "Dick Cheney" reference. "Crime and Punishment" impressed me. Chill album that goes hard in parts. Real drums add a lot.
Not bad.
Had a friend obsessed with this album when we were younger. I remember finding out that Tom Waits wasn't a real drunk and being disappointed. Anyway, there are some killer songs on the album. Waits can write really good music and sometimes performs it ok. Other times he sounds like a vomiting dog but it still works ok.
Great album. Really enjoyed the keys throughout it. South African Jazz, alright.
Although I found the album technically very interesting, musically it did not come together for me at all. Had fun reading about Jah Wobble though.
Great sounds on this album with some standout songs that really hit.
Really impressive sounds. The synth on a few songs hit hard. That's enough for me to swoon. Well done, Jamiroquai!
This album is just so easy to listen to. It can almost carry you.
Happy I got to familiarize myself with this one. A fairly early concept album with some great tracks. Make sure you read the wiki before listening to better understand what the group was doing.
Most of the songs on this album don't fully click for me. If I just could have been in the studio with them governing the mix, I think some of these songs would have been homeruns.
Dope. Will always make your head bop.
So good. R.I.P.
Just not for me. They seem like a good live band though.
I guess I'm a new Fiona Apple fan. A little late to the game. Always figured she was good, just based on the way people spoke and wrote of her. Having experienced her myself? I love the jazzy piano and voice parts. When the drums aren't driving the song.
This album holds up really well. Some of the diss tracks go hard.
Hadn't heard this album since elementary school. Still hits good.
The album felt much more recent than it really is.
This album produced some catchy moments, but the songs didn't click for me.
Excellent. Really enjoyed the guitar.
Not bad to have on in the background.
