Fela KutiFun Jazz/Funk album. Excellent saxophones and trumpets. Actually all the horns are great. I enjoy how for every song the lyrics start halfway through. Every song has a 6 minute intro.

Big Queen fan in middle school. It was fun to listen to an album that only had one song I knew on it, Seven Seas Of Rhye. Must not have been a very big fan. This album was very operatic, which makes sense. Not many hits/single material, but all very cohesive. I still like Queen.
Crazy taxi soundtrack.
Goes a little to hard in sax.
Garbage. No song ever takes off. As much flavor as flat sparkling water. Only one song is mediocre on the album.
Solid Mbalax (genre) album. Which is the urban dance music of Senegal and the Gambia. The more you know. Fun jazz and groovy licks. Enjoyed it, might not go back often though. Good work music.
A lot of different genres on the album which is fun. Nothing that sticks out a ton though.
It was fine. Classics were there they were fun. Heard them all before though.
Solid. Some good songs in there. Overall sounded pretty safe and nothing really grabbed me. Good though.
Lyrics and grooves were good. Kept me interested throughout the whole thing.
I don't think it aged that well. With so much variety and soundscapes and production these days, it seemed flat.
Fun to listen to Black Sabbath songs that aren't the hits. Solid listen, the instrumental songs like FX are pretty bad. Snowblind was a heater though.
Fun album all the way through.
Enjoyed this album. Kind of like a punky, raw vocal, MJ Lenderman, but back in the 90s.
Had some real high highs, but the rest was forgettable. To The End was killer.
Had a lot of the singles, and they were good. The rest kind of seemed like dated, low quality sample, pop music.
Album was fun. Again, most instrumental tracks sounded a bit dated. War Pigs is a classic though.
Making this a live album really gets this to a 5/5. Engaging to hear how charismatic Johnny Cash is and how much the audience is vibing with it. Also him breaking and laughing and making comments is a ton of fun.
Solid ambient. Good melodies and vibes. Nothing how'd me though.
Not bad, not great. Solid vocal band vibes with som good drums, albeit sounded a bit cheap.
Fun indie like rock jams. Pretty chill, pretty fun. Good listening nothing incredible.
High highs, but guitar story telling gets a little old after a while.
Not listening to much Eminem in the past, this was fun to listen to his peak. Especially after his death of Slim Shady album this year. A little over the top though.
Insanely quick album. I blinked and it was over. Hard to judge based on that. Was solid though.
In your face, wall of sound (most of the time) ambient band. Kind of reminds me of Godspeed. Not as good though.
Classic 60s/70s era rock. Good listen.
Has all the hit singles I knew, those were great. Rest of the album doesn't quite hold up.
Enjoyed this one quite a bit. Singer was great, production was solid. Songs had a solid voice but were varied which kept it engaging.
Never listened to Fatbot Slim and didn't know he was responsible for Right Here, Right now and Rockafeller Stank (didn't know it was called that). Liked it, probably wouldn't spin it too often.
Interesting foray into early metal. Could tell a lot of bands were probably influenced but still seemed safe.
Listened to this last week and I have a hard time remembering it. I'm sure it's more of a 3, but seeing as I can't remember it gets bumped down. Standard latest 60s vibes.
Just quality jazz. Nothing else to say. As someone who only dabbles in jazz, it was interesting all the way through.
I don't think this is Queens strongest album. As a Queen fan, this had some interesting ideas, but wasn't doing it for me.
Sounded like Jack White. It was okay.
Real quality jazz. Miles Davis didn't get a 5 becuase I heard this before I rated the Davis album. The live aspect was also fun. I like the calming if the riot song. Audiences used to go hard!
The hits are good, the rest of the album is samey.
Liked this more than I thought. Really grew on me. Started a bit weak and then got into it at the end. The song The Court of the Crimson King rips.
Having listened to license to Ill quite a bit it was fun to hear this. I like the more fun quirky Beastie Boys more than this version of them but still good. This was more of a complete album/idea though.
Janis Joplin is great, always will be. Again, didn't vibe with it early on but it grew on me by the end.
Alright pop album. Nothing super stuck out, albeit this review is coming 6 weeks later...
Fun to listen to Slipknots first album after hearing so much about them for so long but never engaging. Some solid songs, but it all blended together.
Real fun album. Classic LCD Soundsystem with the distinct bass/synth lines. Great all the way through.
Kind of the same noodley guitar that you expect from Dire Straits. I don't really think Dire Straits is for me.
Classic album. Really no notes.
Lot's of fun interesting songs that are pretty experimental. Really respect what Lou Reed was going for.
License to Ill is such a fun album. Front to back just a joy.
Not really that memorable. Kind of samey.
Not very memorable again.
Enjoyed listening to The Thrills. Fun countryesqe indie rock vibes. Groovy and bopping from the start to the end.
Never really engaged in this era/genre of music. Skits were kind of fun, over all pretty middle of the road.
Fun album. Heavily sampled and a joy to listen too.
Maybe I'm nostalgia baited, but the album is great! Love what they were cooking.
Funny to get Gorillaz followed by Blue. Solid album, not many notes.
I don't know man, it is a U2 album.
Sound of Silver is so good that I sadly need to compare these two. american dream is just flat compared to Sound of Silver. Maybe in a vacuum it gets a 3, but I need to compare them.
After seeing this album cover a million times it was fun to listen to. Fun indie rocky poppy album.
Really enjoyed this one. Good variation, good sounds. Really built as the album went on.
Didn't really do anything for me unlike the other soul/R&B bands I have heard so far.
Jam bandy groovy guitar focused riffs. It's alright.
Fun listening.
Kind of boring. However, I did learn the collab'd with Craig Armstrong who did the music for Love Actually which was very topical and therefore fun. Too bad it didn't help the album.
Too long. Too much mids RHCP.
Not Talking Heads best. Again, comparing it to other albums.
A real solid Christmas album. But it is a Christmas album.
Pretty stock standard late 60s album. Didn't really do it for me. Some fun strings and stuff though.
Fun album.
Also a fun album, good grooves, fun lyrics.
Back to back with A Tribe Called Quest, it just wasn't quite as good. Still solid, still enjoyed it.
Solid listen. Different than I normally listen too, which was refreshing.
Probably the most interesting and engaging album I've listened to in a while. This album is a heater. It's a Brazilian album from 1972, genre is MPB or kind of folky, rocky, Orchestra stuff. It's so emotional throughout the whole thing. I dint speak Portuguese but there is just a lot going on through it all. Pitchfork says the album us mysterious and plainspoken, haunting, and sublime and I would agree. Vocals are great, every song has some cool background stuff going on, it's just so complete and engaging. Would recommend just getting lost in it. I listened over several sessions, as it ss a bit long and my drives are a bit short, but I always instantly got back in.
