Let's stop shitting on Bonnie Raitt and start respecting the fact that she had the guts to combine country with crappy 80s synthpop, and to do it all 20 years past her prime, too. Truly praiseworthy. I salute your terrible decision-making, Bonnie 🫡

The good thing about this album project is that I get to discover music I didn't even know was my thing. The bad thing about this album project is that I get to discover music I didn't ever want to know was a thing.

They don't make em much better than this. It's infused with heart, soul, emotion, joy, sadness, pain, and most importantly, damn good music. The entire album is actually enjoyable, and it doesn't get boring for a second. It's beautiful, and it is truly a wonder that we get to experience a musical arrangement this powerful.

The stuff guilty pleasures are made of, but if it's a pleasure, what's there to complain about?

Great voice, great lyrics, great tunes. 'Nuff said.

Bold and energetic fun

A strong opening track lulled into nine more songs that sound exactly like it. Good for blues fans and for the use of background music, but the songs sound rather stale to those without a passion for this genre. One individual track pulled out from the others would sound slightly impressive, but each song featuring the same exact standard blues chord progression is nothing creative.

Most songs can be listened to, with a couple solid tracks, the most noteworthy being 'Disco 2000'. As a whole, the album is pretty solid and enjoyable to listen to, and it would work great for a soundtrack. Although an individual song on its own doesn't sound that great, they create a neat melodramatic vibe when played one after the other. Not great, but still good.

Starts off very strong with more electric tracks like 'Girl' and the opening 'E-Pro', only to fall into more boring and at times bad songs, such as the very annoying 'Farewell Ride'. These don't detract from the album too much, which is overall very decent, but it does cause the album to lose points, along with the mumbled singing and nonsense lyrics. Good for a listen, but nothing soul-moving.

Genuine old people music. Keeping an open mind, it's alright. Listening to my inner music taste, it's plain bad with a couple of tolerable songs. I definitely wouldn't be caught dead listening to it.

If any of you are looking to have a spiritual experience, I might be able to help: just go into a dark room, take as many psychedelics as humanly possible, and listen to this album. You will crap your pants from being so mind-blowingly in awe.

I kept telling myself it wasn't bad. No matter what bizarre, unorthodox, idiosyncratic choices she made, I just said to myself, "It's just a little weird, but nothing TOO unbearable." And then. The God. Damn. Mule. Noises. Yes, they really were that bad. Not that there was much of the album to ruin, anyways, but the mule sounds made me put my foot down and officially call this a bad album. I guess there's a couple of songs that weren't so bad, but most of them were bad at best. Thank God this was just a misstep in a successful career.

Dang. Every song hits. Not many albums can do that but this one definitely did.

At times like this I really wish it were possible to bring Roger Ebert back from the dead and have him review music because he would just hate half of these albums. It would truly be hilarious to read his reviews on this stuff.

Sounds like stuff straight out of a John Hughes movie. It could be good set to teenagers enjoying their youth. Listening to it as a boring human being trying to enjoy music, it sounds like typical cheesy 80s alternative. I guess it could be someone's thing because it's not horrible, but it's not my type.

You can't go wrong with Napoleon Dynamite music

At times I felt it would work perfectly for a sunny summer morning, sipping tea and feeling all of your problems melt away... ...and then at other times I wanted to jab something down my throat. How they ever got THAT famous is beyond me. They couldn't even write half their own songs on here. I will say, though: they knew when to put an album out of its misery.

Like two different albums put together into one. Half of the songs ventured more into hard rock, with these being the better songs, and the other half was slow and dull. 'Mr. Soul' was worth the listen, with a couple of others being enjoyable. None of the songs were awful, though, which makes this album halfway decent.

Made me feel like I was walking down rows of shops in England... Nice feel to it, but her voice honestly took me out of it sometimes. It sounded a bit shaky and unable to find the right note. Lots of the songs weren't that impressive, either. I will say this, though. 'Fuck Me Pumps' was hilarious.

Hippy shit. And like, not the good stuff, either...

Decent songs but they're very slow and they sound very similar to each other. There's an almost comforting sense of melancholy with each one. However, the country theme is enforced a little too much and the lyrics felt random and discombobulated at times. If slow crooning is your thing, this is a good album. Otherwise, it's okay to listen to once.

That first song was so worth it. I don't know what happened after that...

why is this actually making me wanna disco dance

Beautiful and serene without any of the cheesiness of normal country music. No girls, beer, or tractors in sight.

A 3 hour 10 minute long deluxe version of this album does exist for anyone who wants to hear it. This information is, of course, useless because no one who has heard the original will ever want to hear the deluxe.

groovy ✌️

Lots of raw energy might take away from the quality of music. The songs themselves were pretty awesome, and the guitar especially was WICKED. But I can't get past the screaming vocals. Dude had a lot to say and I couldn't even understand it.

the most interesting part was a six second long soundclip of a coin flipping

I think I forgot how to like music

Sure it's a bit different, but it still sounds just like the White Stripes. Only one song I didn't really like, a whole bunch that I did, and an overall great sound. And 'Blue Orchid' rocks 🤟

I don't know what people are talking about. It's nowhere near as bad as they're making it out to be.

Not a fan of his but this is some of his better stuff.

Sounds like a bunch of generic indie songs made up for car commercials. And the fact that they named a song 'Never Gonna Give You Up' that didn't even have to do with Rick Astley is just slander. Not bad though.

I haven't puked like that since I got food poisoning in '09

Not particularly exciting, but still beautiful in its own way. 'Clouds Up' is the best of the album, and I can just imagine its haunting mood working wonderfully for the film. 'Dark Messages' and 'Empty House' also sent chills down my spine, and 'Ghost Song' perfectly reinforced the musical theme. One of the best songs was the almost psychedelic 'Dirty Trip', which actually put me on a trip. All of the tension which had been built up throughout the album was perfectly quelled with the closing song 'Suicide Underground', an acoustic track that ended the story with a melancholic tone.

I guess it's kinda nice for background music, but jazz is just not my thing. It's not bad; it just is.

His name was Robert Paulson.

As boring as an album can get. Nothing uniquely good or bad, and I can't even remember how any of them sounded. It just... was.

Beautiful monstrosity. An abomination of all possible noises and sounds in the field of prog rock that comes together and produces one hell of a trip.

Better than your average pop, and if I wasn't forced to hear some of these songs on repeat for the past ten years, they would sound a lot better. Definitely more thoughtful than most other modern music.

The stuff guilty pleasures are made of, but if it's a pleasure, what's there to complain about?

It's not hip hop... it's electro...

I don't even know what to say... it had a unique 70s vibe that I couldn't hear from any other album, but it was such a drab aspect of 70s music. I think some of the songs were nice, and some of the others were really annoying, boring, and just plain dull. And 'Life in the Fast Lane' is one of the most annoying songs to have ever hit my eardrums. God how I want it to disappear off the face of the Earth.

I know this isn't most people's thing, but I can get behind it. It's cooler than most of the albums I've had to put up with so far, and I actually enjoyed listening to it from beginning to end. There was only one hit from it, though, so it's not a classic, and it's DEFINITELY not the Talking Heads album I would have gone with. They have much better work, and calling this great would be taking away from their better albums.

Chef sure knows how to sing

Roger is a darn good engineer

There's no 'Maybe' about it - this is 'Definitely' a work of art that manages to calm, inspire, sadden, and liberate all in one. Every track is a testament to the 90s britpop music scene, yet they managed to transcend the average irritating tripe that was so commonly being created. Every song sets up an entire world so painfully familiar to us all, and being able to experience these worlds is truly comforting and healing.

It's got a vibe to it. I don't know if it's a good vibe, but it's definitely a vibe.

Oh my God my chainsaw can finally sing

Maybe it's technically proficient and 'cool', but let's be completely honest: this gets boring after 15 minutes. It's not bad and it's not good. It just is.

They don't make em much better than this. It's infused with heart, soul, emotion, joy, sadness, pain, and most importantly, damn good music. The entire album is actually enjoyable, and it doesn't get boring for a second. It's beautiful, and it is truly a wonder that we get to experience a musical arrangement this powerful.

A few good songs, albeit lame ones, and quite a few bad ones, which I never want to hear again. 'The One' and 'Childz Play' are actually two of the worst songs I have ever heard. It gets a bit better with 'All Day Love Affair' and 'When We Were Friends', but most of the other songs are incredibly bland. How this album got onto the list is beyond my imagination. It's mediocre Cee Lo Green with a mediocre album filled with mediocre songs. I will never get that 65 minutes of my life back. I literally had to listen to actual good music afterwards to forget what I had heard.

Is it important in music history? No. Did it impact anyone? No. Is it still entertaining? Yes. Now, it's not prime entertainment, but it's still neat for a deep '60s dive. It's full of nonsense lyrics and random instruments, but it's decent enough.

Very generic rock. There wasn't really even anything memorable or standout. It's a decent album, I guess, but I can't really officially call it good. The songs were boring, with most being mediocre, a couple being good, and a couple being kind of bad. It's nothing I would choose to listen to when better music exists.

I'm starting to think that maybe whoever wrote this list just tricked thousands of people into listening to the worst albums of all time. I literally just listened to emotionally disturbed men singing about dick-sucking, butt-fucking, and Boy George. Korn actually hates any and all audiences that they may have.

I don't even like hip hop but I like this. Great production and a stylish use of samples combined with witty lyrics. Actually a must-hear.

I actually don't understand what makes this such a low-rated album when all of the other electro albums I've encountered get decent reviews. It sound the same, just slightly different. It uses less sampling and has a more upbeat tone to it, which frankly, I prefer. I'm not gonna sit here and tell you this is decent music, but compared to other albums of its genre, it gets the job done.

Not Jimi's best work, but still very enjoyable. There's a few very strong songs and a lot of mediocre songs with strong guitar-playing. It's a guitar rock album, so while there's not a whole lot of substance in the actual songwriting, it's fun to kick back and groove out.

Almost every song sounded the same and used this weird combination of rap and rock that doesn't really work. After hearing one song, there's not really a reason to keep listening to generic Y2K whiny rock. Then again, 'In The End' hits hard.

What the fuck was that shit

It this supposed to be cheesy? Because, if I'm being perfectly honest, this is just repetitive chord progressions and bizarre lyrics. It's a guilty pleasure album, but it's not even something that I take pleasure in.

The first half is very strong without any bad songs. 'Time After Time' and 'All Through the Night' in particular are amazing. Shoutout also to the iconic 'Girls Just Wanna Have Fun', making this album loaded with the hits. The B-side, though, is less than impressive. Not a perfect album, but close.

Another epic drug trip from The Spiritualized. I lost all sense of track and time and felt like I was a fictional druggie at the center of a movie staring into a mirror pondering my life choices. And I mean this in a good way. Don't take drugs. You just have to listen to this.

STOP MAKING YOUR VOICE VIBRATE

Groovay... there's no other way I can put it ☮️

Damn you, you racist pig. Why do you have to make decent music?

Like an undiscovered Nirvana album. Where was this my whole life?

Great voice, great lyrics, great tunes. 'Nuff said.

Generic 80s background music that cannot possibly be enjoyed. If I knew someone that actually liked this, I would have to punch them in the face.

✨️fantastic✨️

I felt high

I by no means am a country fan, so I can't say for sure whether or not this is good by country standards. Compared to other music in general, it's okay. Dolly definitely put her heart and soul into every one of these songs, and that's something that can't be said for many country artists. I guess what I'm saying is that she tried at the very least.

Very dull background music that isn't very cool or innovative. Every song sounds the exact same, which is a generic drum beat and some 'urban' New Yorker talking in the background. It's a very safe algorithm, and being safe, it's lame. And this is totally unrelated but that album art is really cheap.

This sounds identical to the motorcycle that is currently going off across the street

Good for if you're a middle aged biker dude in a bar. So I guess kind of cool but kind of bland. 'La Grange' makes up for it. That is one kick-ass song.

Ah, yes. 15 songs about love and dancing and music and love and holding hands and women and kissing and love and smiling and bliss and walks in the park and love and.... We get it. You like love. And it's all sung to us with a very textbook-definition-of-singing voice. But it is relaxing.

It's kinda lame but it's also kinda fun so there's that Wait hold up I just got to side 2 Nevermind it's just lame

Lots of genuinely great rock tunes. There's a lame song here or there, but the hard stuff rocks.

This is the type of album that I feel is more 'appreciated' than 'enjoyed'. I could be wrong, but I think the reason it is praised is because it is thoughtful, as opposed to being bland and mindless. Make no mistake: the lyrics and storytelling are beautiful. The problem lies in how the album actually sounds. If I were to hear the majority of these songs by themselves and out of context, I probably would not have to force myself to like them. I understand why the hype exists, but I don't think I want to be a part of it.

To call this bad music would be an insult to bad music.

Let's stop shitting on Bonnie Raitt and start respecting the fact that she had the guts to combine country with crappy 80s synthpop, and to do it all 20 years past her prime, too. Truly praiseworthy. I salute your terrible decision-making, Bonnie 🫡

Rock on freaky bro 🤟

Please judge this album by its cover. It's not any better than it looks.

Oh man, I mellowed out so much. SO much. Some of the grooviest work of the 60s with not one but TWO iconic hits. The famous stuff rocks and quite a few of the deep cuts sound great too. However, a couple songs I could have cared less for, making this a solid 4.5.

This is definitely an acquired taste, and it's the type of art that is harder to appreciate. It's possible that this sounds really bad and is actually bad music. However, I think the production actually sounds really good, in its own weird way, that is. It's not too weird for me, and the underlying artistry shines through. It's experimental music that should exist, in my opinion.

A rock classic, and it's a legend for a reason. 'Highway to Hell' alone would be enough, but the hits just kept coming. Great sound paired with great guitar, and it's nothing but enjoyable.

Good Lord what's singing this? A drunken vampire?

Maybe when I'm old, decrepit, and have nothing better to do than sew quilts, I'll feel like listening to this. Until then, keep it the hell away from me.

I think we'll go with a little 'Bohemian Rhapsody', gentlemen. Good call.

The singer from the Buzzcocks left the band and somehow found a way to make even crappier music. There is no real sustenance or creativity in any of these songs, save maybe, MAYBE, for 'Recoil'. His voice is borderline unbearable, the guitar riffs are beyond generic, and the lyrics are incredibly bland. If annoying had a sound, it would sound like this. It's not even cool in the way crappy post-punk can sound. It's unintelligible meandering.

They don't call her the Queen of Soul for nothing. Her voice is melodious and hits every right note. The songs are refreshing, with each one sounding different, yet still retaining her signature sound. There's nothing to complain about here.

Melancholy in an album. And I love me some good melancholy.

oh my God that's the funky shit

So much cheese and cow shit you'd think you were at a dairy farm in Southern Wisconsin

4/5 would so massacre people in a church to this

Everything good and bad about punk rock. So basically it evens out.

An album full of decent efforts in the format of deep cuts, with the most notable being 'Rocks Off', 'Rip This Joint', 'Tumbling Dice', and a few others that pretty much sound exactly like them. However, there isn't really a bad song on this entire album, and it's enjoyable all the way through. It's 18 songs of good vibes and nostalgia, and I don't know what's much better than that.

I think I might be too white to get it

Honestly, this is a very fine example of early British rock. There's nothing to solidify this with 'classic' status, but there's some very good guitar work and songwriting present.

This would be a good listen if I was chilling with my very white friends in an underdeveloped basement while we were stoned one night in 2002. Outside of this oddly specific scenario, it's a very generic alt rock album. There's nothing interesting, and it's giving me no reason to want to listen to it again. There was absolutely nothing catchy about it, and ever song just sounded like a repeat in which a monotone voice said nonsense lyrics with a standard electronic drum beat and some hip hip thrown in. It's not music as much as it is noise. Yet it's branded as 'cool' so wallflower teenagers can claim to have better music taste than the rest of us.

Okay. I get that everyone hates John Lennon. So do I. He was a trash human. But that's no reason to give him a bad rating. These songs, while all sounding kind of the same, have really talented songwriting behind them. They're lame, but they're an improvement on Beatles lame. It's very meaningful music when you can get past the hypocrisy behind 'Imagine'.

Eh. I lost a lot of interest after 'Starálfur', which was really beautiful, but unfortunately, nothing else could keep the momentum going. I also liked 'Viðrar vel til loftárása' and 'Olsen olsen', but every other song pretty much had the same boring sound. And they were all really long, which contributed to my occasional loss of interest.

Really strong start and really strong finish. A lot of stuff in the middle didn't really live up to the hype, though. Good songs sung with a great voice, but the album overall isn't what I'd call a great album.

THEY ALL SOUNDED THE SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMEEEE!!!!!!

I feel like poorly reviewing 80s music for being cheesy is kind of unfair, but that's not my problem.

ENOUGH WITH THE GODDAMN ELECTRONICA

It's no worse than Hotel California

It's givin' me the Bends. But like, in a good way.

A little too bluesy for me but it did leave me feeling high which is always a positive

bruh no one warned me I was gonna need ear plugs

Honestly this is a really strong debut. It starts off pretty okay with 'Rockin' Around With You', gets really good with 'Breakdown', has a few ups and downs in between, and ends very strong with the fantastic 'American Girl'. It does have some '70s rock cheese, but that doesn't hinder the overall quality or experience of listening to it.

Mediocrity at its finest. It's almost excruciating how mediocre it is. Almost. There's something about it that's still a lot better than a ton of the shit I've had to listen to with this website.

This is actually a decent album and I was not expecting that. But I don't think he's sexy.

Classic Stevie. He's got a hell of a voice and knows how to use it. I heard everything from groovy, relaxing, empowering, funky, and political in the course of an hour and forty five minutes. Of course, the headliners are 'Sir Duke' and 'Isn't She Lovely', but there's plenty of deeper dives here, including 'I Wish', 'Pastime Paradise', 'Another Star', and 'Ebony Eyes'. I guess the most important part is that it's good enough for Coolio.

Wow finally an album where almost every song is famous. And in my opinion they're good, too. Really good. They all come together to create the PERFECT '70s vibe. Not overdone or too groovy. Just truly stuff people would have listened to back then. And there's a full album of it. OK maybe the two deep cuts weren't that great. But I was more than willing to put up with them for the 7 good ones.

I'm beginning to think I can make an album and it will get put on this list.

Dancin' around in their underwear. That is so degrading.

Probably the least annoying British punk rock album I've had to listen to. It falls short of bring an officially great album because just about every song sounds the same, and there's not a whole lot of substance, but they're decent musicians. They can actually play instruments really well and create musical harmony, which I realize sounds like a bare minimum for music, but most punk rockers don't even get this far. The average punk band is too concerned with rebellion that they don't even bother to make something that resembles music, but the Adverts are able to balance their rebellious spirit with actual music. It's fun to listen to, and it's not something I have to force myself to find positives with.

The good thing about this album project is that I get to discover music I didn't even know was my thing. The bad thing about this album project is that I get to discover music I didn't ever want to know was a thing.

Pretty groovy stuff. The tunes are fun, the instruments are funky, the sound is very rich. It's exactly what you'd want out of a Brazilian funk album.

This album is uplifted by the phenomenal 'Sympathy for the Devil' and 'Street Fighting Man', which are both some of the finest work by the Stones. There's a lot of excitement within these two songs, but the others kind of all sound similar and are a tad boring. They're all good, no doubt. It's just that the momentum doesn't continue.

I would have so hired them to play at my school's dance in 1987. Unfortunately for The Jesus and Mary Chain, I am no longer judging music by 1987 school dance standards.

"The horror... the horror!!!!"

Pretty good for jazz is still just okay for regular music. It all sounds the same about two songs in, and it gets pretty boring. Maybe I'm just traumatized from having two jazz albums in a row and fearing a third.

Whoa. There's so many classics on one album. It's such a fun time playing the whole thing out and it should have even been longer. There's only one real way to describe it: it rocks.

this album is so good it made me sing Sweet Child o Mine with my family while I was driving and I almost crashed into an oncoming car because I had to tell my wife she was flat

This was the rare combination of both boring and cheesy. Boring music can still be good, and cheesy music can still be fun, but boring AND cheesy is neither good NOR fun. So basically I want those 37 minutes back.

God, this was so generic. The singer's voice was super weird, and I couldn't even understand what he was singing. Supposedly it was something super witty, but the random mumbling that I heard was nonsensical. The songs were kind of bland and definitely not innovative or creative. 'Marquee Moon' is apparently the highlight, but I don't get what so many people like about 10 minutes of annoying meandering.

To everyone who's not impressed with this album, I want YOU to try playing guitar this good when the tips of your fingers are missing.

I think it's good but maybe it's just my inner old person coming out

'Changes', 'Life on Mars', 'Queen Bitch'... must I say more on what makes this an awesome album?

What scares me is that there are supposedly three albums in this generator worse than this one.

Do I need to listen to this before I die? No. Is it groundbreaking and monumental? Is it even that iconic? Not really. But that doesn't mean I didn't enjoy it. There's not a bad song on here, and 'Rooster' takes it to decent quality. Put simply, it's a good listen.

Better than your average indie rock, with a couple of songs that fall flat. Overall it's a neat listen that reminds you of being a teenager, and the songs have the drama of a movie soundtrack. Not too shabby.

A metal head's paradise. To anyone else it's a decent listen with one awesome song and a bunch that sound a lot like it. Regardless you gotta love the energy.

You can tell he thinks he sounds amazing.

Back when Ozzy was on just enough drugs for the music to sound good

Fiona Apple establishes herself as a clear talent with this one. The music is very technically proficient and really showcases her strong songwriting, and her voice elevates her smart lyrics. 'Criminal' is a masterpiece and actually greatly improves the quality of this album. None of the songs disappoint, but they can sound the same after awhile, leaving the listener a little bored. Still, a great achievement in music.

This one is hard to judge because it sounds good with certain moods and at certain times of your life. If you're not a melancholy teenager, then this probably isn't good.

Björk sings about her mum's tits. Take what you want out of that.

Lame and bad for U2 but not bad.

I guess it's good but it's kind of boring. Like I wouldn't listen to this on my own. I'm not gonna complain about listening to it at all. Just a tad long and generic.

Saved by the 90s vibes and nostalgia and devoid of much other musically creative qualities. It's fun to listen to until you're forced to sit through a really crappy cover of 'Iron Man'. Just slander.

We strictly play 80s Joel.

Better than you'd expect

Normally when I have my headphones on people ask me what I'm listening to. Thank God that didn't happen today because that would have been a bloody nightmare trying to explain.

I think that went in one ear and out the other. Thank God.

Two really good songs, a few good deep cuts, a couple I could have cared less for, and the rest was relatively okay. So better than like 85% of what this list has to offer.

Boooooooorrrriiiiiinnnggggggggggggg

It sounds cool it's just that there's not a whole lot of substance here. Very raw.

The voice is so emotional and moving, the songs have that sweet soul sound... It's a shame this guy didn't get more attention because he deserved it.

so beautiful 🥹

Significantly better than Autobahn

My only regret is that I didn't listen to this on Saturday night

this is the scariest part of my Halloween by far

i think they've been to white castle more times than Harold and Kumar

I'll give it one star for the cover art and one star for the bloke on YouTube who said this saved him from committing suicide. It already had a star to begin with but that isn't much.

OH MY GOD I DID IT I WENT BACK IN TIME TO THE 90S

This is one of the greatest albums ever?? It's okay, but it's nothing to rave about. It doesn't display much depth or variance, and I didn't hear anything above average, save for 'In My Life'. Everything else sounded like a repeat of the other, which is typical Beatles soft rock song. I liked the sadder sounding songs, but I think there were maybe 2 of them, and I only liked them for being different. I feel like the Beatles had much better works of art.

Every song sounds exactly the same. The template works, but it's just annoying to hear the same song for 35 minutes. If anything saves this album, it's the 90s nostalgia.

why is this actually so fun

Ok I'm sorry. I'm sorry to every halfway decent musician I called bad. I'm sorry for saying the Beatles should have been chased out of England. I'm sorry for saying Suzanne Vega made me want to throw up. I'm sorry for saying Kendrick Lamar sounded like disorganized trash. To everyone else I'm not including, I am so sorry I didn't recognize the small bit of talent you have. Tom Waits has made me realize that there are some musicians without talent, and you're not one of them. My apologies once again.

I wanna yank those redhead pigtails right off his stupid scalp

This might have undone any progress British people ever made in the field of music

I, too, stare down my oatmeal and lose to it every morning.

Almost every song is a pleasantly groovy experience. There might not be anything iconic on here, but it's still that amazing Jimi sound. I was put on a great trip that was tragically cut short after 38 minutes.

Honestly this was fun. 90s punk girls getting their rage out. It's a fun mood to be in.

It's really relaxing, albeit a bit boring, but still a chill listen.

girl why you gotta bring Drew Barrymore into this 😭

Anyone else feel weirded out by this? It's just such a weird mix of nostalgia and melancholy and maybe even some drugs. Typically the 70s are always a groovy time but it just seems kind of too mellow here.

Holy crap what a voice. I mean this has to be one of the most powerful voices in soul that I've ever heard. But you can't get away with making a cover album.

"Now, boys... the network has a problem with some of your lyrics. Would you mind changing 'em for the show?" "Forget you, clown." "Hey, our lyrics are like our children, man. No way." "Well, okay. But here, where you say, 'What I got, you gotta get and put it in you,' how about just, "What I'd like is I'd like to hug and kiss you'?" "Wow! That's much better. Everyone can enjoy that."

Out of my way, nerdlinger.

bland

Jesus this thing is trying as hard as it can to make me quit

A beautiful, almost medieval love story immersed in a woodland atmosphere. 'Sun It Rises' may not have been a strong beginning, but 'White Winter Hymnal' and 'Ragged Wood' carried the album, and 'Your Protector' was a particularly strong point. It was a little uninspiring, but overall, it was a very pleasant listen.

This is way more cheesy 80s jazz than I signed up for. I mean there was a complete night and day difference between the first three songs and everything else. At first I was like, "I can dig this," but the second that godforsaken fourth song started playing I was wondering what I was doing with my life. The fifth and sixth songs were even worse. It got a little better by the time 'Brothers in Arms' came around. 45 minutes later.

People keep saying that this album is weird but that's not the problem. I think BORING is a better word for it.
