Fun album - Very enjoyable listen
Solid 8/10
Unfortunately I'm a basic fellow, so Light My Fire was my favourite track (so good)
I'm all for structural and thematic continuity in an album but JESUS CHRIST can a dude get SOME variation pls?
Or perhaps I was just not in the mood for reggae today.
3.5/5
No strong thoughts really - pleasant enough.
Can appreciate how Fats was a gateway/harbinger for the transition from blues to rock and roll, but would I listen to this on my own? Unlikely.
Can see how this would have been super influential and innovative for the time. Just sounds like a generic ringtone that's been auto-installed on your phone now.
Fun listen.
An incredible vocal performance on an album that is tailor-made to show off her vocal chops.
However, besides her performance I don't think the album was particularly novel or really pushes the R&B / soul envelope, even for its time.
7.5/10 if I could, but will round that off to a 4/5 here.
So good. So 80s.
Immaculate production.
Bop after bop.
An easy 8.5 to 9/10
Liked this more than I expected to.
Very West Coast, very 90s hip hop and I thought that the production has surprisingly held up really well!
Dragged a tad in the middle / towards the latter part of the album, but solid solid album.
7.5 / 10
Very nice album.
Harder than the Aerosmith I'm used to but it somehow works very well? Also a very unusual mix between your average MTV themes and and your louder metal ethos, but somehow that worked for me as well!
Solid 8.25 / 10.
Genuinely phenomenal. The fact that this is a live album is ABSURD!
Easy 9/10.
Really enjoyed this.
Almost entirely hits, despite being so diverse. A lot of the album still sounds super fresh.
8.25 / 10
Really liked this. She has a beautiful voice and the album is just really pretty.
8 / 10
Congrats on the creativity or whatever, but this is not for me lol
Fantastic album - production is immaculate and so many epic tracks. Thought it did have a couple of skips, and thematically was a bit much for me at times though.
7.75 / 10
This album was released way too late for this sound to be even mildly original anymore. In general just mid, I thought.
5.5 / 10
All for live albums but not a fan of how much song time the announcer gets here lol broke the flow way too often. Nice jazz besides that though.
6.5 / 10
One of the few albums on this catalogue that I'd already heard, and it just gets better with more listens. Absolutely adore it. The softer tracks slap as hard as the peppier ones do, and imo this is a 0-skip album.
9.25 / 10
Really enjoyed this. Couple of skips, perhaps, but the highs were incredible.
9 / 10
Mid in every conceivable way.
Fun.
67 / 100.
