legend. this shit ROCKS. i love a live album, the kinetic energy of it, the sound of the band and the audience reacting in real time. the crowd singing along! the sounds of girls literally SHRIEKING in the audience! and that VOICE! the only complaint i have is that im not in the room with them.
been meaning to listen to this for a long time so i’m glad i got the opportunity! i like some prog but it’s not like my favorite genre or anything, obviously very cool to hear the source of so many samples. i can appreciate the technical merits without wanting to revisit it, and nothing else on the album really comes close to matching that first song imo. but a great time!
hell yeah. not my favorite prince, but it’s still prince.
i know, i know. it’s the stones! and it’s great! it’s just a little too honky took
was expecting to like this waaaay more than i did. i think fundamentally i don’t care enough about male whining to enjoy this ):
fuck yeah. hell fucking yes. already love this album going into it, always nice to get a chance to revisit it. saw someone on tiktok say they thought no one really liked radiohead, and that people only listened to them bc they were pretentious, and i genuinely cannot imagine living in a world where my idea of art and my taste is so narrow and based on aesthetics. this shit ROCKS.
not to brag but i got the opportunity to work with pete townshend earlier this year, so now every time i listen to the who im like omg he knows me…. wild. anyway, this fucking rips. why do people hate live albums????? captures the energy of the act of creation. sorry you can’t handle theater you freaks. studio babies!
alright! i liked it, but i think i went in expecting a faster album, so i was taken by surprise by the sludgier pace. more metal than punk imo, which has never reaaaaallly been my favorite. still enjoyed it, but didn’t walk away thinking it was a masterpiece.
country at its best; mournful and gorgeous and aching. such pure, tight songwriting. i love folk and old school country, but am embarrassingly unacquainted with willie nelson. what a wonderful introduction. timeless. those last three songs, wow. also, this mf has 153 albums????? they don’t make em like this anymore.
omg i thought you guys were just being mean…. this shit is ass 😭
“his voice is so weird waaaah” none of you would survive joanna newsom. folk is my favorite genre of course i love me some bob dylan. first song i remember hearing from this album was chris thiles cover of “masters of war” and it changed my life. minus a star for that fucking harmonica and for what he did to joan baez…..
steely stans RISE!!!!! my dad played (and still plays) a ton of steely dan (actually plays it, like in a band lol) so i was primed to love this. stop fighting and let the dad rock into your heart.
had no expectations going into this and ended up really loving it! country psych rock. one of my favorites so far.
“if you were a tree you wouldn’t cry bc cause trees don’t cry” come on man….. some of the instrumentation is genuinely beautiful but holy shit the lyrics are fucking ASS
the 80s cheese and general sameness of this album is saved by the fact that it is so so soooooo fucking gay
had heard that first song genuinely 100s of times and never knew who performed it. not a huge fan of britpop but i loved the more psychedelic elements.
not a huge honky tonk girl lmao but it’s simple effective songwriting and it doesn’t overstay its welcome which is a nice change of pace from the most recent albums i’ve had to slog through
RIP quincy jones. genius.
easy listening
this is great! had heard way more of these songs than i thought.
lmao???? HUH?? so so funny that this is on here. weirdly thought i would enjoy this FAR more than i did, i love pop, i love early 2000s pop, i love pharrell, i remember the big hits from my childhood. but.... phew. i did not enjoy this. it was waaaaay too long, at least 20 minutes of this could have been cut. i think i would have enjoyed this more if it was just a pharrell album-- at least 50% of my lack of enjoyment boils down to justin timberlake being unbearably corny. cry me a river is good, unfortunately rock your body is also still really good, but that's genuinely about it.
when i was living at home in the suburbs during lockdown i was obsessed w the car as a metaphor for the illusion of freedom— how, growing up in the suburbs, there’s not much else to do bedsides drive around. you COULD go anywhere, but you end up driving around in circles, ending up where you started every time. anyway fast car is one of the greatest songs ever written tracy chapman forever.
don’t usually like pop punk but as is usually the case the earlier you go the better it gets lmao. this was fun!
was not in the right headspace to receive this lmao so i will be listening again but a vibe nonetheless
well yes!
