Sorry, no.
Totally digging this. Didn't recognize it. Laid back operatic? A low-key down-beat hour. Groooovy.
Kind of one note. It could be more interesting, as Doom Saloon and Our Lady of Electric Light show, but it was a real slog getting there. My 3 is more for potential than actual.
Not understanding a word doesn't help me get this. Rap/samba sounds pretty cool; I might not be the right audience to fully understand it. Love having it on in the background. It has some great grooves.
These long, subtle grooves can really grab me, pull me down, then slam me like I'm a punching bag. Atmospheric (what, as opposed to terrestrial?) then wallowing in noise, pulling out the stops and leaking all over.
Hmm, many boredoms here.
While this hits my flashback sensibility squarely in the chest, therein lies the problem listening to it now. Back then I felt it too pop oriented, by which I mean high schoolish.. My girlfriend at the time was named Anne (I called her Annie) and I was eager to like it, but the top 40 hits began to drive me nuts. The song Dreamboat Annie, on the other hand, is a gem, and highlights the sensibility I wish the rest of the album had. Soul of the Sea if it didn't have strings might be nice too, and some of the other songs. But they keep me wishing they had a good producer.
Intriguing. Can't get enough of its inventiveness. A little too emo-ey at times, but when it isn't overly dramatic, the musicianship comes through. I am definitely not one of the over-the-top fans, but find it on the list of albums I need to come back to.
What will this be like? No recognition of album or art. Starting off well--evocative, laid-back, emotive. Verging on trippy. Gets a little a little Mel Torme loungey at times, but not too much so.
How to not get into this? Ripping guitars over propulsive drumming, alternatively trippy and hard, over-the-top endless variations, just when you think you have something figured out it drags you somewhere you didn't know you'd be happy to go. Very happy.
Great music, hating the vocals, and when they intrude (rarely, thank the gods of heavy) I have to skip whenever they start. But man, when they shut up, an endless (yes I mean minutes-long endless) psych/garage hang. 4 easily if they'd not have vocals, so 3 it is, too bad.
Sounding like early 80s fusion. There is loads of technical skill to go around, but to my ears the imagination doesn't keep up. Okay but why on this list?
Really can't figure this out. This is just okay, nothing remarkable. Glad it was introduced but that's it.
Isn't assault illegal in most states? It's all pretty much one note. Not too good of a note, at that. If it was one cut, I might go four, but...
Creatively musical rap! What next, Democrats win the Legislative Branch? Some real delightful moments here. A keeper.
