First impression: repetitive, long, horny, and a little dated. Not bad, but it didn't really move me.
Also the 1 in 1999 looks wild phallic.
- Predictable, kind of soulless, boring.
- AI generated music before AI generated music was even a thing.
- A corporate idea of what music sounds like come to life via some label who invented Coldplay in a lab to print money.
- The lead singer of the band said this was a bad album, apparently. Makes me wonder if this album got a lot of bad reviews or something. It's not like it would be wrong for him to like or be proud of this album, I'm sure it was formative for a lot of people.
- I dunno. I was over it halfway through and it just kept going.
- Kind of hard to disagree with all the people who think that Coldplay is the audio equivalent of a "chick flick". Some chick flicks are fun, though. Romcoms are chick flick material, aren't they?
- I'm at a place in my life where I hear a band or an artist from the 80's say "f*ggot" and I hear the vine boom sound affect go off in my head right after.
- "Walk This Line" might be one of my least favorite songs ever. I'm sure Dire Straits secured generational wealth with how overplayed the song is. 1001 troll recommendations.
- first impression overall: Back loaded album.
I might like this one better than their other album. The one with the blue cover. 😐
- This goes hard in the Barnes & Noble. No seriously, I'm being deadass. The old Barnes & Noble I used to go to would play David Bowie constantly, but then they went out of businesses and got replaced by some bullshit. I Miss it.
- When people talk about Bowie being a legend, as someone that hasn't gotten around to flipping through his entire discography, I listen to an album like this and I get it.
- First half was stronger than the second.
Hahahahahaha, you fool. I've already listened to this album!
- Two Dire Straits albums in one week? Cool.
- Sultans of Swing and the opening track 🔥
Wasn't my thing, but I can't say that it was outright BAD. I just didn't get much out of it from the lyrics to the sound apart from the opening track.
I can get down to some twang, though. Kinda.
First impression: half of the album is kind of interesting.
CAN YOU DIG IT
SUCKAAAAAAAAAAA
"We'll be right back after these technical difficulties" type music.
- familiar sounding.
I now understand why Swifties exist.
HA! Heard it already!
Nerds.
Thoroughly disliked this one.
Don't hate the band or anything, though.
I guess just having this album get recommended to me as "one of the albums that you MUST listen to before you die" is a little much.
