The first three songs are truly amazing. The singles were the best songs on this album for sure. Strong performances from all. The back half or so is pretty transitional between where rap was and where NWA was taking it, but aside from a few quips and bars here and there, as the album went on I wasn't as big a fan of the more old-school tracks. The strong songs far outweigh any negative feelings.
This is the first real listen I ever gave to Supergrass and I've been missing out. Excellent at what they are doing, even when it gets weird (and I actually very much appreciate when it gets weird) it is good. The first listen merited two more full listens all in the same day. And when Spotify suggested other similar bands/songs, they weren't nearly as good as this.
I'd believe you if you told me this was the demo for an album that would eventually be good once they worked out all of the myriad issues, I'd skeptically believe you. Best compliment I can give is that nothing on IV is offensively bad, but I will not concede that it is good. Some glimmers of greatness, pretty much all contained within Stairway. Infliencial sure, but we should normalize Led Zeppelin as being a very mid band. All that said, I do like When the Levee Breaks.
Maybe it's the hangover from Led Zeppelin IV but this Massive Attack album sounded amazing to me. Very chill vibes that can be actively listened to or great background music for so many situations. Not a ton of chills-inducing moments, just a cool listen
Love it, two artists that are both amazing putting together a double album with both styles that fit together, it's just beautiful. Speakerboxxx is more upbeat and fun, Love Below is more artistic, 2 hours of fun. hey Ya! is one.of the best songs I've ever heard, ever.
I don't get the appeal. Guessing I'm wrong here but I don't see the quality difference between this album and many of the opening bands on a mid-level popular band's tour. It's fine, certainly not my vibe at all though. Also, not every song needs to fade out, like, songs can just end, and that's better.
PJ Harvey is a talented artist with lots of good music, this album was very mid and I'm not sure why it made the list of 1001 albums over others from her that are better.
Definitely weird music from the 60s. Trippy, not unenjoyable but definitely a weird pick that again I wouldn't have put on a top albums ever list. I appreciate the creativity but at this point, the list makers are sus.
Definitely worth a listen, this album itself is decent but the sound created clearly influenced a lot of the music that I love, and I can certainly appreciate that. Much of this album sounds like early Type O stuff, a little more Satan-based instead of vampiric but probably a pioneering sound at the time (and definitely before my time). Worth a listen for sure.
For what it's worth, this album wasn't too bad, but it was a really weird pic for an artist as accomplished with a catalog as broad as Bruce Springsteen. Not sure I'm going to continue this list.
Never heard of this artist before, didn't make it half way through the album and changed to listening to their most popular songs on Spotify. Much better move. This list is kinda shit for real.
