This one is melancholic; electro music with futuristic yet retro vibes. Favorite songs were Time to Pretend and Kids.

One of those albums where every lyric is worth paying attention to, that's just ole' country. You have to love bluegrass and old time blues to give this album 5 stars. Is it quality listening? absolutely, but it's also kind of boring after a while. Favorite song, of course, Folsom Prison Blues. Greystone Chapel was a good surprise.

It's literal poems being recited with a little chant and a guitar tune. That being said, it's too soft and uneventful for me, not my thing at all. I did look into Nick Drake's other songs and I think his other albums are better, I liked the Northern Sky song in his second album.

The best album debut in the history of music. Simply fantastic. Of course I had heard of Joy Division before, kind of like hearing of a leyend or a myth, but I had not gotten to listen to any of their songs. I went into this album with no expectations, and to my surprise I discovered a whole new world. From the first line of Disorder, I knew that was it, I instantly got carried away into a new dimension. Reviewers here say this is gloomy, moody and depressing, I personally feel this is uplifting instead. There's a beauty in the somberness of its verses and musical composition that it doesn't weigh down on the listener, it rather transcends the thoughtful sadness and transforms it into something beautiful and soul touching.

I've always known Van Morrison's music growing up, they play them all the time on the radio; I've never known of a time when I "first" listened to Brown Eyed Girl, it was always there, so I gave his music for granted, and boy was I in for a susprise. Turns out he is an excellent, talented, and prolific musician. He writes his songs and makes his albums thematically and tonally cohesive. He might be a bellend as the legend goes, but he takes his music seriously. This would be a 4 out of 5 stars in my opinion, but I'm giving it 5 stars because I discovered this living legend is still making music in 2024, and yes, he's gotten into taking a stand against the establishment, and I absolutely respect that.

Clearly Marty Robbins is a legend for a lot of people in the US who grew up listening to him, I can tell he's admired and loved; the western songs are cool and the man himself is talented and well deserving of the people's respect. I wouldn't listen to this album again, but it was pleasant to listen to the heroic tales sang with great vocals and nice harmonies.

Cool but clearly not my thang.

Like one of the lines in their 1994 song Feel The Pain: "I feel nothing".

I HATE The Who. The only rock band from that golden time I cannot stand. And this pretentious so called "rock opera" is sh*te and overrated. So first of all we're talking about a boy who not only witnessed a traumatizing event, but also has been severely abused and tortured by faimly members, which leaves significant psychological repercussions as it happens in real life, but this album, instead of having an arc about this situtation, it makes absoluteley no stand at all. Tommy is no hero, Tommy is a villain, and the writers do not intend to make this a tale of caution, maybe they even relate with Tommy? Or is it semi autobiographical? After having the LSD trip, he manages to break the trance and becomes conscious, he starts gathering some following and becomes a messiah, but Tommy is not healed at all, he's traumatized and wounded inside. He's no spiritual leader, he's ready to inflict what was inflicted to him. On the final part we see that Uncle Ernie, the abuser, is in the camp, welcoming the disciples. "Here comes Uncle Ernie to guide you to your very own machine". The disciples revolt and Tommy retreats to his inner self again. But Tommy didn't learn anything, he's just sad his disciples weren't fully submissive, so he's probably gonna do it all over again; start another camp/religion, but better this time. He still has those delusions of grandeur and of being worshipped: "following you, I climb the mountain, I get excitement at your feet". So what's the moral of the story? None. Is there at least one good song out of this mess? No.

Maybe not all of Gershwin's lyrics were worthy of being produced, did they think of that?! Gosh. I mean it's great background music, but I went through the 9 Circles of Hell listening to this whole album. 1 Star for Ella Fitzgerald because she is amazing, and 1 star for the only good song in the entire 59 song album: Let's Call The Whole Thing Off. It's a nice piece of information to know that Ira Gershwin is the original writer of the famous potato/po-tah-toh lines.

So much noise, it's so soul and mind disturbing, like who listens to this on purpose or recreationally? They might be the precursor to garage rock and grunge, but truth be said, little stranger, I just don't care.

I mean, Hey Ya can't make an entire Album.

Nice surprise. These people are talented.

Are we calling just ANYTHING "culturally relevant" now?

Obnoxious garbage. Apart from The Who, I absolutely DESPISE The Velvet Underground.

I don't know why I thought The Beastie Boys were The Beach Boys. Wish I listened to the Beach Boys instead though

This is absolutely perfect. Instant mood changer, anarchist, inspiring, amazing.

Am I losing my mind or did all the songs sounded exactly the same?

This is so whatever honestly. And Alabama has got to be the worst song I have ever had to listen to.

Okay.

Elvis is NOT overrated lmao, I don't know what some people in the comments are smoking. Elvis was made by producers for sure, but the man was a sensation. What he did was groundbreaking, rebellious and unprecedented, things we now give for granted because everbody is pushing it to the extreme and breaking new limits now a days, which is getting boring. Elvis opened the door for The Beatles and many others to get inspired. So yeah this first album is not "nothing", it's objectively good as well.

Amy, Amy, Amy. She's talented, she's chaotic, no role model for sure. Frank is not a bad album, it's not great either; couldn't relate to any of the songs. However it is a great precursor to her masterpiece Back To Black.

No, thank you

Better towards the end. Second half acceptable.

Ay no por qué me hacen escuchar esto

Back when hip hop was innocent. Bring back those times.

The satanists didn't do so bad, they're much, much better than obnoxious Blur in my opinion, mainly because the other band members bring balance to Albarn's ego. Some songs are good, the first half of the album is more enjoyable than the second half. I would just toss away that latin song, it is sooo pretentious, and I'm saying this as a Latin woman.

A perfect 2.5

Fantastic album, almost all bangers and certified legendary songs that will be remembered for the time of times. Absolute legends.

This whole new vibe could be interpreted as pretentious, arrogant, obnoxious, but no- this guys are just savages an they're kind of insane probably. Love the marching band sounds, the horn, the unrefined voice.

No.

Of all the sleeping music I've heard, this album is at the bottom. I seriously do not understand or care for it.

Gracias, que no se repita
