- understand the political value of this - not one i think i'd listen to much. would be good for background, maybe for painting. not saving it though. - i'm probably just not in the right mood to listen to it but 2.5/5 - they're the red, red wine people
- wild listening experience, huge fan of all the skits & feeling right there in the studio with them - fugees is a funky name but also sick that its topical to the album - refugees - obsessed with Lauryn Hill's voice, obviously - had to keep from laughing out loud during the outro - not as familiar with standards for rap music / this kind of flow but love it. the conversational type of contributions are amazing - sometimes cannot tell where one song starts and the next begins - as working music 4/5 - vibes 5/5
- classic bangers. love the guitar. -
- superb vibes. - would sort as a superb dinner album. good for vibing to in the kitchen, for dancing but not to upbeat, for background while chatting. <3 - due to variety in vocal / instrumental, wouldn't listen to as get computer work done music - big fan of talking at ending 3.5/5
still to listen
- one of the frickin voices of all time. - love mr feelgood (dr feelgood?) as an expression of female desire. ought to be more of that - late night album, summer deck
- cest jazz. jchu pas vraiment un jazz person en generale. j’en pourrais etre. - this is fucking amazing. de plus c’est pas vraiment jazz jazz, cest plus chill et moin experimental - thi sis just such beautiful music. just piano bass drums and it’s cracked. the bass playing is insane.
- understand the political value of this - not one i think i'd listen to much. would be good for background, maybe for painting. not saving it though. - i'm probably just not in the right mood to listen to it but 2.5/5 - they're the red, red wine people
- i don't think I'd realized kd lang was this far into the country realm, this is incredible! - her voice is just absolutely singular. gay cowboys for ever and ever. i love it on this particular, the vocal control & smooth tone of her voice is just beautiful - feels very cigarettes and coffee. feels extremely dancing in the kitchen. - saving - 4/5 stars for SURE
- noises. go noises. [same affect as sports go sport] - it is a very foggy wet day and i think this album melds well with that. very reflective. obviously, it's radiohead, but anyways (pyramid song) - crunchy. often i chew on music but i think this is chewing on me (pulk/pull) - just a superb album. don't think i'd ever listened to a whole radiohead album the instrumentation is just so great and the production is tres cool - maybe i'm just used to listening to way overproduced music, but it was so specific with it. - will listen to again. - 4/5
- lyrics are fuckign odd. i mean it’s morrissey so duh - thought lazy dykes was going to piss me off more than it did - i haven’t listened to the smiths that much and I’m sure some of their lyrics are odd too, but the kind of chill smiths vibe guitar with ‘well, america, you know where you can shove your hamburger’ - realized his voice is KIND of vaguely similar to alex turner’s but i think it’s just becuase they’re both british and annoying - will listen to again but won’t add to my library - 3/5 i GUESS… it’s like fine to listen to
- this is just noise. this is literally just noise - i kind of like the actual one Dead on Arrival but I think that’s just because there was a backbeat and it was a relief from the noise - a song with words???? what a surprise - excellent soundtrack for going insane. or maybe doing insane art. scheming in a dark room. VERY ianthecore - this is so not my vibe. am nowhere near cool enough to enjoy this - oh i like hometime. reminds me of home movie in dreamland, wonder if that’s referencing this. - ok i like AB/7A but it is genuinely hurting my easrs. i get that this is cool and foundational for industrial music but.. I don’t like industrial music. i like patterns and i like the parts of this with patterns, but some of the patterns are made of feedback noises and vaguely bagpipe quality machine sounds. - walls of sound sounds like industrialist futuristic hellscape to me. the gears are grinding you into paste - 2/5. added one song to my lyricless playlist but will never listen to this again
- music is a relief - i just love the bass line in the way you make me feel. i know it’s literally the same thing the entire time and not - i just love 80s music. - it’s tragic that i’ll never go to a concert in the 80s. like dude. a michael jackson concert would be so insane. - nothing really hits like a key change on the word change. - don’t think i’d ever noticed the heartbeat at the beginning of smooth criminal - that is an Album. will listen again. going to add to library. also just classic album art - 4/5
- vocals are definitely an acquired taste. i don’t think i’ve acquired the taste yet! - ‘not like an organ, like a valentine’ is a killer line to me - the guitar is just so insane and locked in - feel like i want to listen to this more to try and get it. i don’t really like it on first listen but i think i’d get used to the vocals and i’d be able to really soak in the lyrics - 3/5 because i like the lyrics
- love ‘love interruption’, there’s clarinet, big fan of the vocal duet, the lyric - i like blunderbuss i like the theremin in it - he said ‘noivus’ for nervous (i’m shakin’) - big fan of the sound of hip (eponymous) poor boy. also sonically “hippopotamus poor boy” is funny - i think it’s like 16/8 in take me with you when you go … ? love the piano either water - saved ‘take me with you when you go’, ‘poor boy’, ‘love interruption’ - didn’t love all of it.. will listen again probably, saved some of songs. 3.5/5 initial rating.
- off to a good start in terms of the guitar. getting an excellent diet of electric guitar the last few days - enjoying this cause it’s still rock but it’s just a little chiller than all the qotsa - 3/5. probably won’t listen much again, didn’t add
- immediately thinking beatles. like, very obviously, given the fact of same time active, and 5 white guys with bad haircuts / bowlcuts - sounds like music from the late 60’s.. wack… who would have thought! - feel like it would be cool to play on a sunny slow day. good to have chill 60s music that is not the beatles - i’m not really sure about it. think i may just not be in the mood for it - i think the british wobbly tone doesn’t work for every type of song. just found the staccato emphasis on every word doesn’t work - ohhhhh they’re the time of the season people. i do like the choral chorus of it, and the intro (clapping rhythm and exhales), but as a whole song i don’t love it yet
- this album is an hour and fifty two minutes long. - i liked the vibe - it was chill. he’s the beach boys guy - i did not listen to the whole thing - 3/5, probably will not listen to it again. it would be good cottage listening. there was nothing i particularly liked about it, but nothing i disliked
- ok well the artist’s name is deep purple so an automatic win - rock music. based on the album cover I had thought it was going to be jazz - some INSANE riffs going on here - guitar is just incredible - assuming these guys are british - defo good concentration study album (in blast them thoughts out typa category), workshop album. some scream singing so might become annoying dep on ear day - spotify description is killer. emojis - strange kind of woman - vocals echoing guitar back & forth, love hearing what i do all the time in real music - there are seven songs but it is an hour and sixteen minutes long. ee - LOVE the guitar at the end of lazy specifically - 3/5. probably won’t listen to much again but still approve
- well. it’s steely dan - tres chill.. soundscape of instrumentation moves so smoothly - i do love the harmonization over the chorus of dirty work - wikipedia referred to lyrics as ‘elliptical’ which feels very accurate - again, big fan of guitars in harmony, in reelin in the years - ‘oh michael, oh jesus’ is funny to me - i think there is a niceness and comfort to the repetition in it, makes it very background easy listening. it’s sunny music - idk. it’s nice! i don’t dislike it! i think i’m just not that attached to it. 3/5, did not add but did save turn that heartbeat over again
- not off to a great start. not sure these are my kinds of sounds… but they could be - nvm. this is interesting.. would be good studio music. it’s noise music but it’s not too abrasive. and i like his singing voice. like leonard cohen’s voice if it was a little softer and a little creepier - there’s some sax and it’s almost 1975 ish in Start. (don’t judge me) - i dont remember is talking heads ish. i like - family snapshot c’est plutot sad 80s ballad - i like it. good studio music, could be good reading music. sonically interesting, made my ears go ‘?’ at points wondering what could be making those sounsd. 3.5/5 i think.
- another noise album but i like this it’s way more rhythmic than throbbing gristle - really good concentration wise I think; not a ton of words, that kind of wet bass synth - i’ve heard this synth riff in voodoo people before - oh my god wait. am i enjoying edm - i like that it’s not just synth though; the rhythmic repetition of sound bites makes it less pure EDM sounding - it’s definitely a lot - i’m giving everything 3/5 but it keeps being truee
- very rock. noise rock. maybe too rock for me - i want to like it because it’s got where is my mind which is a great song - vibe of where is my mind vs the rest is interesting. tempo of it is much slower - am 30 seconds into vamos; 2.8 more songs to listen to - 2.5 / 5. i really like where is my mind but the rest is all so different
- quite a mix. almost metal vocals at times - interesting stuff. the spotify description said a mix of genres and they were quite right - instrumentation is cool, a little bit noise music at times (not in a bad way) - [A] touch sensitive has similar synth at parts to that song ethel cain likes, the same airplaney vibe - no sympathy is seven minutes long but i love the acceleration in it, accel to more electronic & distorted is fun. - ok this goes to very noise. - like.. 3/5? deserves another listen
not actively against it it’s just not what i’d reach for
- i was so excited to see this one come up! knew i liked chicago and john wayne gacy jr. but had never listened to it dedicatedly - for some reason did not realize it was made in 2005. nearly 20 years old!! - just masterful - instrumentation is wonderful. orchestral but still varies through the album, but in a logical progression - obsessed with the feeling it invokes. such motion, in the city, it feels like watching scenery go by from a car or train window. - song titles are also hilarious. - 4/5 added to library.
- rocky? souly? - good vocals. can’t figure out what they remind me of - good listenin. think it would be worth keeping - some noise music vibes happening - some absolutely scrumptious bass playing in ‘bonin in the boneyard’ which is the best song title i’ve seen in my life. fucking hilarious song - i like it. will listen to again. i’ve had the experience of being annoyed by some songs and enjoying others on a lot of albums recently, but this one has been enjoyable the whole way through - i keep speaking too soon. subliminal fascism has a wayy different vibe. c’est la vie - 3/5
- vibes are exceedingly starry - picturing staring out an evening window onto a summer evening - cottage for sure - it’s up there. it’s lovely - 3/5 will listen to again
- noise music but decrescendos into jazzier chiller feel - a little too noise music-y at bits - would be overwhelming to have too loud, good for work though, art, introspection - good to have lyricless albums in my arsenal so i’m not wearing out my one playlist - 3/5 saving in library
- un album francaise?? - c’est super qu’il y a des albums en autres langues. tant pis que je n’ai pas assez de comprehension pour pouvoir toute absorber ce qui se passe dans ces chansons - reminding me of leonard cohen (specifically you want it darker album) but that may just be because his voice is low and speaking slowly. far more orchestral than that. - i don’t like whatever is happening in ‘En Melody’ - instrumentation is superb though, cinematic orchestral feeling - 3/5
- interesting cover art that’s for sure - great as music for work/readings - some superb guitar - personally disagree with ‘sex is violent’ but yknow that doesn’t take away from the music - vibe of ‘Jane Says’ is far more acoustic than the rest of the album; I suppose it makes sense that it’s their top song? - solid rock album i would say, good variation through it - 3/5
- off to a superb start. very 80s combination of drums & bass & synth that I’m a fan of - ‘sleeping boys catch no fish’… the new ‘you snooze you lose’ - i feel as though I’ve heard the riff from uncertain smile before.. - after googling, curious as to whether the spotify version of the album has the sax solo or the piano solo - piano, as it turns out - “i’ve seen an old man fingering his perishing flesh”. oh! quite the absurd / out there lyrics - perfect feels like an abstract painting against a canvas of repeating bassline, synth, and some occasional trumpet. ‘oh what a perfect day to think about myself.’ real - 4/5. adding to library
- vibes off to a good start. de plus ils viennent de Versailles - growing quite fond of how many instrumental albums are a part of this list - big fan of la femme d’argent and kelly watch the stars. - ce matin-la is so beautiful. call and response of the horns (trombones i presume), the feeling of ebb & flow throughout the piece - vocals remind me of daft punk in new star in the sky, but that is just because it’s ‘vaguely european accent through a vocoder’ - what it says on the box. moon safari is a superb name for this album - 4/5 adding to library
- psychedelic era album, brazilian band - big fan of the atmospheric experimental feel and differences that happen in tempo - one of the songs is in french which was a surprise when I could suddenly understand what they were singing - i quite enjoy the choral feeling of chunks of this - CLARINET in tempo no tempo!! clocks also!! - really quite entertaining to realize how much i don’t know. and how much the “beatles sound” is just the sound of the era. embarrassing for me! - i’m not sure where to rate this one - I don’t listen to 60s music a ton, but this album is really sonically interesting to me. going to go with 4/5, adding to library to expand the music i have in my library in other languages
- british punk. entertained by the ‘they could never have a hit in America, as they were thoroughly and defiantly British’ in the spotify bio - quite liked it as an album. I find sometimes I’m too much of a baby for punk, but this is very poppy punk and i quite enjoyed that. - superb ending to it - we’re down in the tube station at midnight! - 4/5, liked and am adding to library.
very fast british rockpunk. stopped it at outsmarted. not my cuppa!
