Not terribly exciting, surprised I found this album a lot more 'meh' then I thought I would, it's good and I appreciate Eric Clapton's guitar work it was just not entirely the kind of blues rock I get overly excited about ⭐⭐⭐

Like the South Side of the Sky track, struggle with synth prog rock with rambling instrumental epochs, solid 3 on balance.

In my all time top 10 albums, absolutely my frequency, love the gravely blues vocals on The Changeling & Been Down So Long, the epic classic rock of LA Women and the psychedelic rock trip of Riders on the Storm, Hyacinth House is a personal favourite that is maybe overlooked along with L'America, no doubt this album is the best Doors album in my opinion and a solid 5 always

Weird electronic surf rock type music thing, grows on you after the twentieth listen (not new to Suicide or this album), always been perplexed as to why it is so renowned, often hit skip on Suicide tracks that pop in a playlists, probably wouldn't shell out for a physical copy any time soon, it's a 'meh' 3 and that's only because, sometimes (when planets align), I like the first few tracks on the album, past half time it's just ambient drivel.

A classic Christmas album of its time, if you have to endure Christmas music you can do much much worse.

Still relevant social commentary cleverly woven together in an album length lyrical story of poor decisions, misfortune and small triumphs.

It's a great album, melancholy with country undertones and guitar work on par with the likes of Nick Drake ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Good lo-fi tunes, I actually don't hate it ⭐⭐⭐

Not really my 'go to' kind of rock (bit too balladry with a sprinkling of lyrical cheese) but solid for what it is ⭐⭐⭐

Horrendous elevator music (first track Birland), the kind easy listening jazz fusion type stuf that brings me out in a rash. Not for me really, might be the first one star, let's see. Okay it got slightly more tolerable further along, still not really my thing though ⭐⭐ to ⭐⭐⭐

A new discovery for me, interesting stuff, being a Zappa fan this hit the mark for me ⭐⭐⭐⭐

I didn't know I liked this album this much but ended up playing through it three times, wasn't totally unfamiliar with it just not really properly listened to it, ⭐⭐⭐⭐

For the childhood memories ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Country music (especially this type classic country music, for want of better description) really isn't my thing, but I didn't entirely hate spending time listening to this album, seemed an interesting mixed of soul and pop influences on some of tracks, with not too much of the typical cringe worthy country lyrics,⭐⭐⭐

Not terribly exciting, surprised I found this album a lot more 'meh' then I thought I would, it's good and I appreciate Eric Clapton's guitar work it was just not entirely the kind of blues rock I get overly excited about ⭐⭐⭐

Not properly listened to this box-set before, it really is very good (listened through the whole set twice), giving George five stars on this one (wish you could do half stars on this website, probably better as 4.5 star), love so many of the songs and the feel/vibe of the album, will be working on acquiring a physical copy, a classic piece of work ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

It's a slow burner, but I like it, prefer Richards' rockery albums (like Standing at the Sky's Edge) but there are some nice tracks on this album (not heard it before) such as Coles Corner and The Ocean, probably a 3.5 star ⭐⭐⭐

Not heard this album before, took me a couple of run throughs to get it, always struggle a bit to get into the classic Paul Simon 'jingle jangle' sounds, on the surface the lyrical content seems a bit random but a closer inspection reveals clever use of words and poignant analogies. It went from a two, to three and ended up landing at a "I need a physical copy" four ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Yay country... 🫤 Yeah nah, this might be the first 1⭐, I'm sure it's very clever but two songs in it's bringing me out in a rash, really hate this type of country music soz. Landed at ⭐⭐ = don't like, wouldn't buy, recommend or listen to willingly again 😆

Always a mixed bag with dear old Brucey, love his more melancholy darker tunes and themes, the more upbeat stuff not so much (especially the songs with the 'rock sax' which instantly starts up 'Santa's Coming to Town' my head and is an instant turnoff). Landed at ⭐⭐⭐⭐, would seek a physical copy.

The kind of pop music really isn't my jam, I thought it was going to be my first one star but horn and windwood arrangements dragged it to a ⭐⭐, generally though the warbling vocals (although a tremendous set of lungs) are a bit grating, some good feminist lyrical content but mostly more puerile pop culture themes persist. Would not listen to willingly again.

Okay dokey, French language show tunes today, not sure how to rate this😆, an indifferent ⭐⭐⭐ I think...
