favorites: new year's day, the refugee, two hearts beat as one
red light was biggest pleasant surprise, surrender is awesome, maybe my new favorite?
8/10 this album has a lot of great songs, no complete duds
least favorite song(s) - drowning man
this one isn't new to me but it's been a long time. Fantastic album, she can sing, she can rap her ass off. The beats are timeless, the message is still just as relevant. This album will never fall off. definitely a 5/5
good stuff, 4/5
combing the wiki entry very impressive mccartney did so much of the instrumentation
good solos on down by the river and cowgirl in the sand, like the instrumentals
haunting vocals on most songs except cinnamon girl which is nice too
4/5
I know the beatles are beyond classic but this double album is a lot of music to swallow. Some of these tracks are catchy but so dated in ways I don't really care to appreciate. Other songs like dear prudence are incredible to this day. Songs like wild honey pie could've done better on the cutting room floor. At least to me, it feels like this album is loaded with filler songs.
Best songs: dear prudence, while my guitar gently weeps, blackbird,
Nothing bad but mostly not what I would ever seek out. Good swamp rock and a very short album.
Some decent songs but some are soooooo boring, may be my aversion to most "indie" music but the instrumentation plus a rather dull vocalist (imo) leads to most tracks being instantly forgettable to me. There are a few songs that I would most likely enjoy in certain situations, but I don't think I would seek most of these out.
Favorite songs: desire lines, coronado
I like Queen, hell, I have a deep seated nostalgia for this band. Queen's greatest hits might've been the first album I ever truly owned, on casette no less. This is my second or third time listening to a full length LP and I must say I'm not that big of a fan of the deeper cuts. This album, much like the others I've listened to, is full of songs I don't connect to. I like a few songs a lot but most just don't hit that high I'm looking for when listening to Queen. The musicianship is definitely there but the songs aren't grabbing me.
Favorites: killer queen, Now I'm here, Stone cold crazy, flick of the wrist
3.5/5
Great live jazz album, not much to say, everyone is good, very nice chilled out jazz
4.5/5
Wonderful voice, great songs, good instrumentals. I honestly really dig this.
5/5
holy shit, this album is INCREDIBLE, why haven't I listened to this??
instrumentals are lush, vocals are transcendent, what's not to love?
A lot of diversity in songs as well, also found out gangster's paradise by coolio is clear heavily inspired by pastime paradise. One disc of 2 in and it's easily one of the best albums I've ever heard.
Disc 2 doesn't slow down, immediately hits with "Isn't she lovely"
A surprisingly enjorable listen, a bit more digging revealed that the backing band is the same as the Dusty Springfield album from monday, both were recorded at the same studio. I really like his voice and the instrumentals are very good and soulful. Great backing vocals throughout.
4.5/5
Good, nothing incredible, but very good debut from a great band
4/5
great concept album but I still agree there's too much filler on here for a 5/5 album. I've never watched the movie but this still has some incredible songs on it. In the flesh is a great opener, hey you is an incredible start to disc 2 but young lust is my favorite song on here.
4.5/5
Did not really like the first song, rockin around with you. Breakdown is an amazing song though and starts to set the stage for a much better album, however, I'm not sure it delivers on that premise. The next song is not much better than the first. The next songs does deliver what I expect from TP and was a nice return to form (The wild one, forever).
Followed by yet another forgettable song, anything that's rock n roll doesn't do anything special. Of course, in the way this album seems to go, I quite like the next song (Strangered in the night), nice melody and chilled out solo. Fooled again is another good one (TWO IN A ROW!) but is followed by mystery men (ok) and luna (meh). American girl rounds it out and its no wonder that american girl and breakdown were the ones that stood the test of time. Good album as a debut, but definitely nothing I would note as an album you must listen to before dying.
3.5/5
This was extremely enjoyable, I love the instrumentation, and her voice. Listened to this 3 times back to back then listened to all of Back to Black, her second album. She really was taken too early from us. I'd love to see how she would've progressed in her career.
Very good songwriting throughout, some wonderful songs (stone souled picnic and woman's blues were my favorites). She has a wonderful voice too, hard to believe this came out in 1968, very easy to tell she was a large influence on many songwriters to follow.
4.5/5
Fantastic p-funk love this album
one of my favorites of all time, desert island type shit
5/5
Wonderful reggae
Great voice, good songwriting, not quite my style but I get it
very impressed with this one 4.5.5
Pretty good stuff, can see why they were touted as a big band coming up.
not for me
solid hip hop album with tough lyrics and some great beats too
4/5
very interesting and some really cool instrumentation here
3.5/5, There's good stuff on here, lyrics, songwriting and sometimes so interesting instrumentation but overall it's just not for me
did not expect the funkiness of this album at all
get on top is awesome
fantastic, not a bad song on here, one of the greatest pop albums I've ever heard
want to like this but i really just cant stand thrash
3.5/5
4.5/5 great jam album
