Doolittle
PixiesOne of my favorite albums of all time, don't need to go listen to it as I've listened to it countless times
One of my favorite albums of all time, don't need to go listen to it as I've listened to it countless times
Funeral for a Friend/Loves Lies Bleeding is a great opening song, probably my favorite Elton John song(s) After that it quickly dissolves into the overproduced, saccharine shlock that he's known for.
Over produced, pretentious and boring. The fact that this album is 7x platinum says more about the lack of musical taste of of 7 million people than anything else. If I could give this a negative rating it would still be too high
The title track and Frozen are solid songs, the rest of the album is filler of varying quality. Maybe pared down to a 40 minute album this would be better.
I won this CD from a radio call in show two weeks before it was released and loved it from the first listen. It's a brilliant debut and honestly the only Pearl Jam album I like in its entirety
While I prefer Mould's work with Husker Du Copper Blue is a solid album that brings things full circle, you can hear the influence of bands that he influenced.
I have tried repeatedly to enjoy this album. The title track is really good. It's not bad in any way but as an album it is more important for being influential than it is good
Fun album, wonderful to tune out or have in while reading.
Radio Free Europe is one of my favorite REM songs but the rest of the album kind of blurs together. Not a bad album by any stretch but I prefer Document and Fables of the Reconstruction to Murmur
I remember when this came out and I hated it. I figured 30 years of expanding my musical tastes might change that. Nope! This is unlistenable, I like some of Bjork's music, she has an incredible vocal range but this is the vocal equivalent of Lou Reed's Metal Machine Music, just layers of sound for the sake of it. Honestly this sounds like something an artist makes to fulfill a contract with a label and not something that should be taken seriously
Peter Gabriel clearly hasn't found his post Genesis musical direction on this album. Solsbury Hill is a nice pop rock song, everyone knows it for a reason, but the rest of the album is him trying desperately not to make the same music he made with Genesis and the result is kind of bland
Weird vocals over sometimes minimalist other times overdone keyboards and sequencers can work when done right. This is not done right. Sounds like two theater kids trying way too hard to be weird and popular at the same time
It's amazing how something so full of energy and musical talent turns into something repetitive and dull so quickly
Fun and upbeat. I have listened to Fela Kuti but wasn't familiar with this album
First album and artist I was 100% unfamiliar with. The entire album sounds like it's half finished or they laid down the backing tracks and forgot to include the leads. Weird but not in an interesting way
Starts off great with Cherub Rock followed by a few songs that try to capture the same energy and the goddawful Today. Then we get to Disarm which is another wonderful song then some more mediocrity. Overall the music is overall good, lyrics and vocals are meh
Proof that a beautiful singing voice is not enough. Uninspired and uninspiring but at least she's courteous enough to pause after the first "hello" so we can change to another album
Lyrically? brilliant Musically? Borderline elevator music Write up says this is jazzy and experimental but it's Muzak with good lyrics
I'm not a big hip hop listener but A Tribe Called Quest never disappointed and this album is brilliant. From the lyrics to the instrumentas and samples the flow and feel of this album is amazing.
Tina's voice is timeless and the lyrics are solid and work with her vocals but the music and production are incredibly dated. As a teenage metal head/punk rock kid I hated this album. As an adult I can appreciate it for what it is but it is so incredibly dated. 5 for Tina and 1 for the rest equals a generous 3
I generally like morose music and Beck is talented but this is boring disguised as depressing. Too long, too monotonous and really nothing to delineate one song from another. If I am suffering from insomnia I will remember this album though
Always enjoyed parts of this album and skipped others Cult of Personality, Open Letter to a Landlord and Funny Vibe are great Glamour Boys is a weird but fun song. The rest is fair to middling at best
It's not that there's anything bad about each song it's that aside from "There She Goes" nothing stands out and honestly they just blue together
Dad rock meets Stone Temple Pilots and it makes for a nondescript, generic 90s but album
Not my favorite Bowie album but still a solid effort, more important than good
The Forever 21 of bands and albums. Not bad but not meant to last. By the time I reached the end of the album I had forgotten what the first half sounded like
I'm huge Tim Wait's fan and like this album a lot. It's like someone unleashed a crazy person in a cabaret. There are other Waits albums I like more so it gets a 4
There's days when I love this album and there's days where I'm less than enthusiastic about it and it's all about Perry Farrell's vocals. Some days his voice just grates on my brain.
I'd heard of MGMT but don't remember listening to them before. Now that I have I hope to never have to again. There are no redeeming qualities to this album. Boring and uniquely grating
