Cowboy cuddles be still my heart. This hits that sweet spot nostalgia of a 50s version of Western that existed in the American imagination. Confection.
Groovy, ethnic fusion and rich musical sounds from an unexpected source!
A distant cousin to Nirvana with plenty of grunge, angst, and sound. Never quite soaring into melodies or singable lyrics/hooks, Corgan does have musical moments. The bells on “Disarm”,
“Express Yourself” IS the most catchy, singable lyrical…and that kinda makes me miss the whole point of a rap album I know.
This atmospheric bath of late 70s synth has ethereal moaning of an Eno/Bowie love child. I’m here for it.
Hardcore punk that is atomic, lethal and throbbing and mid-80s (which feels late to the game), yet a nice balance to MTV confection.
Rock and punk fusion at its very best. Full of both angst and joy simultaneously…singable. Stands the test of time.
Brooding, soulful, and thoughtful. Very Apple…there are echoes of pandemic angst peppered throughout or perhaps that’s just retrospective insertion. She’s a specific mood, not one in I’m often.
Alternative 90s noise without much Melody or distinction frôm the fray.
This man. Legend and deservedly so. The piano, the melodies. The first two tracks are stellar, however, this albums remaining tracks aren’t quite in the same league as the first two.
Cowboy cuddles be still my heart. This hits that sweet spot nostalgia of a 50s version of Western that existed in the American imagination. Confection.
The musicianship here is astounding. The influences from the blues. All of it. Magnetic.
I didn’t know if the Madchester acid-infused confection of 80sness. It feels like it straddles the decades perfectly and has a catchiness mixed with edge.
This guy jams. No wonder Madonna and so many other artists tapped him. A real musician and a lot of groove. Some tracks get pretty esoteric; however, this is not out of his nature…his love of interpreting classics and more traditional music into an electronic realm. He certainly follows in the footsteps of electronic innovators like Wendy Carlos, Edgar Froese, Jean-Michel Jarre, Brian Eno, etc.
Too much anger, dissonance and frankly, NOISE. I miss musicianship in music…especially during the 90s.
Rock n roll meets punk meets music hall meets disco?! I’m here for it. Never heard of this bloke before; however, my life is all the richer, colorful, and whacky for it. The quirky lyrics, style, and irreverence are refreshing.
Whiny and diary-driven stuff. Smiths songs are more palatable for me than this solo endeavor.
Groovy, ethnic fusion and rich musical sounds from an unexpected source!
Bluesy and Latin combination of sound. Rich in musicality starting out with 3/4 time AND accordion? Yes, please. Horns in the second! Diverse and not predictable, exactly what makes an intriguing listen.
This is a pleasant surprise of country Americana mashup. What sets it above bar are Emmylou Harris’ consistent and lilting harmonies throughout with Parsons voice. Too bad he didn’t have the opportunity to create more music, but this is a great offering.
There is good reason this album is iconic. Every track rocks…yes, MJ is magnetic, but the craft of the production and sound is all Quincy. One of the best.
New romantic sound that slipped by me in the 80s. I like it.
Um. No. I don’t understand what I’m listening to…lounge music, non-music? It’s the most non-descript and generic of voices and no line, melody.
Full and meaty sound…iconic opening track. A musical talent for sure and always intriguing on what sounds he’ll curate together. Unpredictable and I’m here for it.
Great early synth pop band and that final track is a bop and a half.
What?! Where did these Beatles-like bliss come from? The blend of orchestral, psychedelic rock and pop is George Martin adjacent for sure. A delightful surprise.
A lot of energy, a Lotta sound. Some of it jives, some of it goofy, some of it…just sound. The title track is a keeper.
Shimmering glam rock with elements of avant-garde, Bryan Ferry’s quivering vocals and undeniable energy dominate.
Bad ass rock n roll. Mic drop.
Not my kind of jam. A lot of noise and screaming, more melody and musicality, please.
Uplifting and moving melodies. Their musicianship, harmonies, lyrics…this album deserved a lot more attention in the day.
Inventive, Groovy, and upsetting at points. I applaud Townsend for The bold ideas …
Électronica and jazz fusion with a smattering of techno, soul, funk…what a mashup and a pleasant aural surprise from the cover art!
This is a joy, art, musical, inventive.
Groovy to its very core. The soulful saxophone, vocal prowess of Randy Crawford’s vocals are a great pairing with the soulful, jazzy groove of the musicians. All the instrumental tracks are a fine display of musicianship.
Iconic. Every track is a musical journey.
Aimee is a soothing and serious artist with things to say and pleasing ways to say them.
Spiritualism and social justice wrapped into one with this generous, loving poet. A man of his time and music for the ages.
Bluegrass classic with impeccable musicianship. Rich voices, playful outtakes while recording intros, and mad skills instrumentalists. Kudos to the audio engineers…sound textured and authentic.
Surprisingly potent stuff (though the dental torture was a bit much in “Unfinished Sweet”). The musical, even orchestral production at times is where the real unexpected enters. Fascinating that it became #1 album in the US in 1973 (perhaps tapping into the cultural fears of the time?).
His Funky Highness crushed This. Purple crush.
Trance Music at a premium here…meditative and full of energy at once.
Ethereal and transported one out of time and space, lush sonic landscape and mysterious.
Ska! These reggae infused songs lift the heart and spirit.
This is Rastafarian magic. Uplifting, meaningful, thoughtful.
Ethereal, unique, and incredibly creative.
Smooth, soulful, and just what the 90s needed!
Rather generic 60s groove. No outstanding melodies or musical style here.
Soulful and full of vim and vigor, especially Ms Joplin’s gritty and expressive vocals.
Flaccid Rolling Stones.
This is balm to the soul.
One of country’s greatest songwriters covering standards in his unique style. Magic.
Interesting 90s fare especially when the eastern music influences permeate.
Pop perfection from early 80s. Lenox’s vocals shine and Stewart’s electronic confection musically is a Synth pop dream. A sweet one at that.
Fun, quirky, and wildly original.
Rock gods.
This is some tripped out hippie shit.
Reasonably underwhelming. There was a quasi non-committal Irish ghost looming in the background….but no commitment to go full Leprechaun ☘️
The kings of rock. They give with gusto every time.
This is not my favorite John Lennon…he seems pretty pissed off and the musicality/poetry of other works is not as heightened for me.
Eclectic mix of rock, jazz, blues, and country. The variety of voices, instruments, vibes keep the listener on their toes.
Sumptuous tango tones rife with bending notes, dissonance, Burton’s vibes. Lush.
This album is badass. Missy is showing off her creative musical chops. She’s a treasure of imperfection, realness, and damn.
Wall of Sound!
Brilliance.
Definitely music, but very “busy” and so many notes don’t a great song make. Melodies are really a strong suit here either, likewise too much dissonance at times for my taste.
Those first two tunes are chef’s kiss.
Average rating is within 0.15 points of global average.
