Beatles are perfect band to listen at any point of doing this list. There is so many interesting things going there and even 60 years later most songs still feel fresh and interesting.
I love it. And the obligatory joke is everyone that haven't listened to this album.
I'm actually glad that I heard 'Low' before this album. I think it's huge step up in his style and huge improvement. Could this be peak Bowie? I was thinking about 5 but 'Secrets of Arabia' exists on this album and for me this song is a joke.
I thought that the album will be Layla and other songs will mush into non-existance but i was pleasantly suprised. Clapton's guitar is excellent in all songs but one great point is just enough. Other/5.
Nie wiem czy wersja na żywo była plusem czy minusem tego albumu, momentami czułem jakbym był na widowni i był częścią show, momentami odrywało to za długo od muzyki. Mimo wszystko 5, Pan Cash ma w sobie niesamowitą charyzmę, która podciąga piosenki w górę, bo czujesz się jakbyś siedział przy ognisku słuchając starego znajomego.
Moody tunes that are perfect for Autumn Sunday afternoon
The album is good but comparing first track with any other song on the album is completly unfair. It speaks both for memorability and impact that Bittersweet Symphony has and how the rest songs struggle to even close to that level.
After reading about creating this album you feel like it should be more interesting than it is. Still for the time it was released it seems quite fresh and even today the music still holds up.
When I hear this album i can almost see the producer selling idea for this album as "negro music but comercially viable".
Based on this album alone Adele will be forgotten in 20 years but i will cheer her on to create something unique and interesting in the future.
After 70 years the music once energizing and innovative sounds bland and simple. But the voice and singing of Sinatra is still great to this day. Unfortunetly on this album there is almost none of his greatest work. I wish I would hear his different album.
I'm giving the score before listening to the whole album. Fuck the rules! But halfway throughout the album I have feeling that quality is mixed but even best songs are not on the level to bring it to the 5 level. Still overall it's a neat album.
I felt like it should be bland and basic but girls won me over with their energy. You go girl!
Przeczytałem wytłumaczenie co muzycznie robił Pan Drake na tym albumie. I do teraz nie rozumiem co to wszystko oznacza. Ale nie muszę dużo wiedzieć, by zobaczyć pewne piękno w prostocie tej muzyki. Prostocie, która podbija wszystkie emocje.
Końcowy efekt to album który porusza serce melancholią, a także uzewnętrznieniem swoich najwrażliwszych myśli.
Patrząc na tragiczny koniec autora ciężko mi ocenić czy ta otwartość i wrażliwość wywodzi się z akceptacją i spokojem, czy rezygnacją i marazmem.
I forgot to write down notes and now I struggle with remembering anything about this album. I think this is also appropriate review of the whole expierience.
I think it's something that requires bpth time and effort to fully apreciate. I will come back to this one day and enjoy it properly I hope.
Great voice and few songs were really good but the overall album sounds like background music in a boring restaurant rather than part of the music history.
If it was a spice it would be a flour. I forgot all songs the next day.
I actually thought i should like it more. It was supposed to be for me, all moody and drug-influenced. But on the other hand it seems rather safe and lacking in energy. Should be a 5. I hope that those junkie-grandpas are doing more suitable drugs for them. I highly recommend cocaine for them.
This is one of few examples where letting a strange man take you on magical trip is a good idea. But to enjoy it to the fullest you have to let Bowie take lead. If you struggle and force it things will be just plain awkward.
Everything that the GoGo Sisters wanted to be. The PInnacle of Mall Pop. Still 4/5. Maybe i'm just not a huge fan of malls. Or Women.
Groovy. Every part of this music is given love and atention it deserves. Rarely listening to this albums i'm thinking about word perfection but this one made it happen.
Na pewno gdy ten album wychodził to musiało być niesamowite, ale tą wyjątkowość rozumiem, ale nie czuję w muzyce. Daję 4 za insane solówkę na harmonijce w "little something little" (??).
What a ride. It's hard for me to describe what i expierienced during this album. But i felt like someone was weaving a story about a place that they heard from their grandmother and somehow I ended in this idylic made-up field lying in the grass as I undesrtood the nostalgia, the longing and sadness through the realization that this place isn't real.
3,5/5 I can see myself giving it 3 another day.
The more I think about it the more angry I get. It is disgrace to British Rock Music and first album that made me think I wasted my time.
I've never heard album like this before (only samples and nothig more). But it was really good. I won't be going back for more but still I think it is entertaining and creative.
It's hard to put a realistic number on this album when you heard the Beatles. It's such a greate piece compared to some of the entries (unhonourable mention for the Libertines) but it's still far weaker than albums of the band.
All I can do is give 4 and blame Yoko Ono like we all do.
You can't make an omlette without cracking few eggs but omlette with shells in it is still pretty wierd. This is a nature of experimental albums. Still glad that I've heard it.
When we started reviewing this list I thought that Stones were safe and mellow but it's fine. It is not fine I regret giving 4 to the previous album and I won't make the same mistake again. 3/5 - perfectly OK. Devil song is a banger though.
It was fun but i would like more USA feel.
I thought that I was clever. I thought that I saw the cover and I was already preparing for some witty comment about boats and hipsters. Oh boy, was I wrong. The album is aggresive with its blandness and mediocrity. I had to check if this band really existed and it's not created by AI labeled as a 'human music'.
I choked myself a little bit to get high and enjoy this album more. It gets my highest score of 'I want to take drugs and listen to it'/10. And also numerical value of 4 stars as I think there are albums that go in that direction but are also better.
I wasn't able to unhear the Toy Story song in the end. But overall the album is really decent. Lyrics that could be seen as problematic is nothing new to Disney so i think he found perfect place for himself doing songs for Pixar.
Finally something I know and I listened to when it came out. Now with new perspective (20 years!) I see it in new light, better light. Maybe I know more about music, maybe I am older and those lyrics hit differently. All in all I love it and I think it is important part of rap history.
I felt like i watched 5 different movies while listening to one album. What a deal!
Is writing that those people are prodigies a good review? No. Becasue pun-based reviews are the opposite of art and the opposite of this album.
It was nice. I didn't hear dog from the cover though. Could be 4.
I guess it's like Michael Bubble of 60's?
If me in High School knew I would give Led Zeppelin 3 he would be flabbergasted. But he knew shit. I understand why it was huge why it's influencial and it's pretty close to a 4.
This music should sound ancient. Sometimes simplicity is a key. I almost could give it a 4 but frankly within boys singing about love genre you need something outstanding to win me over.
I couldn't finish this. Every second felt like an hour. Forth song was my limit. If this was sang during campfire I would rather run to forest to be mauled by a bear.
I think this album well deserves a spot on the list. This is music that will be remembered years later. I think you can take off layers of each track and find something better and better every time. I was a fool to sleep on Kendrick Lamar and it's an easy 5.
It's like your favourite Disney song but worse!
I've read whe wiki article about why this album is special and I still don't understand it. But like with most thing in life judging whithout knowledge is the most reasonable thing to do.
I would like to give it higher score but the music quality is so bad. Did he record it underwater? Why is everything sounds so muffled? Like lyrics and singing are quite decent and it's his third album. I thought my headphones were broken.
Muszę napisać recenzję po polsku, bo nie wiem jak ubrać to w słowa po angielsku. Rozumiem niższe oceny, bo płyta ma trochę vibe "jazzu do kotleta", ale moim zdaniem jest w tym trochę więcej rock&rollowego ducha żeby podbić albumowi ocenę. Jakby było parę mocniejszych solówek/duetów dałbym nawet 4. Widziałem też, że zespół miał jakiś problem z harmonijką? Dla mnie super pasowało i utwory gdzie się wybijała były jednymi z lepszych.
I judge more harshly things that I love (if I have children in the future i'm sorry for them). That's why it's a strong 4.
Alternative music sang by a girl with great voice. This is just a baseline where I would give 4 but this album is so much more.
Album is good but not spectacular it's 3,5/5 for me. Customary joke was censored by me because phonetic simillarity of slay and slave doesn't look good in writing.
I'm still amazed how well The Velvet Underground is holding in this day. Their other album that I've heard is much better though.
It's reggae! Kill it with fire!
Even if it's more intresting compared to others within genre I still cannot go higher than 2.
Today I was at the gym where I listened to overproduced pop music and watched uninteresting music videos posing as something crazy or controversial. Then I listen to THIS. This album is fucking dirty, drag-me-through-the-mud dirty. For me it's my one-sided love story where I fell for homeless hobo obsessed with heroin. I see future nights full of anger, self-destructive whispers and dreams of heating spoons full of delicious, delicious heroin.
I had to listen to this album twice because i forgot i listened to it. And for once it's not my fault. This is THE POP MUSIC album. The poppest, safe, easy to sell with edges that look like perfect orb, perfectly medicore. I gained nothing and I'm 2 hours closer to my death.
4,5/5 but I'm giving 5 because spotify played live version which I couldn't believe
Beatles. It's just that good.
Girls doing punk is probably one on my favourites genres ever. I love the energy and vocals. Album is uneven but it has decent kick. Not a masterpiece but I'm a slave to my unoriginal but specific taste.
I thought it was brother of Optimus Prime and this will be some kind of techno music but it;s country. Decent country but I feel it's lacking something that would elevate it to the next level. 3 for you Mister John maybe try your luck in being a car or something.
No joy nor division. The album is mid. There was a moment when I was suprised to hear something more engaging but I found out that the album was over and it was random rock song.
Mayby it was important album for Brasil but not for me. I was going for 3 but I will give it 2 for stealing spot from someone better. Spotify played much better songs (including his own) after this album.
And after some more thinking I will bump it back to 3. There shouldn't be punishment for creating music in non-English speaking country.
Is that like Christian Rock or something? After watching South Park I would expect more. After few days I only remember hallelujah song.
"Well, there was a time when you let me know
What's really going on below
But now you never show that to me, do ya?
But remember when I moved in you
And the holy dove was moving too"
I thought this song was about Ogres and Onions and not about raping a child after First Comunion. Good for you Jeff, don't show what's going on down below. I'm glad that years of therapy allow you to put boundries.
Two Graces in the row? What is it? A penance after Confession?
Did I steal this joke? Yes. Did I write it in a Mr Peanutbutter voice? Also yes. But nobody can stop me. Also nobody can stop me from giving this album its' deserved 3. The story behind recording is far more intresting than what you can hear in music. Wide variety of artist Mr Graceland cooperated with resulted in very mixed final product or maybe he is the weakest link in all of that.
At the beginning i was sure that this experiment went wrong and I will be suffering through the album. But I was quite suprised in the end. There were still moments of obnoxious wailing straight from the joke about this kind of music. But the rest was briliant enough to work despite it.
It was fine, the song with ka-ching and gun was cool and no wonder it was a hit. I don;t know if Miss Mia became popular but from this album I would say it's a one hit wonder.
Caroline I treated you too harshly, you are no Giligan Welch. You are a perfect 3, cozy, safe and pleasant.
It's like I licked 90s' but it taste more mid than I remember.
I think it would be completly unfair to give extra points just because I've read the whole story behind the album. For a jazz album it's 4/5 but there is this historical importance and you feel the story unfold while you are listening to the album. Jazz is indeed a devil music and it pushed me to give immoral 5/5.
ABBA is such a fun ride. Even more dark songs sound like eurovision finale and i love it. I have a feeling they wluld make a song about taking out trash entertaining. I guess there will be 1 or 2 more of their albums because all of the songs are less-known. Waiting for peak ABBA.
I wrote in one review I will side with War to bring down U2 and there is no better ally than that. It' so perfectly moody. Disarray of jazz/soul music perfectly matches urban vibes. I guess musical landscapes are my favourite genre now.
Nie wiem co można więcej dodać po komentarzach innych, cieszę się, że tego przesłuchałem. Na pewno coś co bardziej trafia w gusta pretensjonalnych ludzi, którzy używają określeń jak "audialny labirynt" niż przeciętnego słuchacza. Ale siłą tego albumu chyba nie jest nawet jakość muzyki, ale niezwykle ciekawy i niepowtarzalny (dla mnie?) styl, który powoduje, że przesłuchanie tej płyty było przeżyciem. Odpaliłem płytę jeszcze raz po przesłuchaniu, co rzadko mi się zdarza i ciągle odnajdywałem coś innego.
The energy of this guy is INSANE. I wish I were there and take as much cocaine as Mr Jerry to keep THAT MUSIC GOING. What a fucking legend.
Did i become one with the world after listetning to this album? But i got around 70% there so with simple art of Math i think the score is 3/5.
There is a lot variety on this album but it's not working for this band. I think with limited range you should stick with your strong points. 2,5/5.
+1 for female vocal cause I love this shit
- 1 for having a woman in band
It sounds like a parody of synth music that was put in a cartoon and I love it. Groovey as fuck.
I've heard this with a hangover and with every olelelele I thought I would die. But I didn't. And I think I don't like rumba music that much. Not for me/5.
Somehow this is one of the best albums of Mr Leonard even if this is his debut. I love it.
Bob Marley. The begining. The root of all the Reggae in the World. Although I want to give bad score just for the memes I can't. There is a reason why he became the Classic and still it's not peak as he will produce even better albums after this one.
This is how I imagine frappucino or hapiness taste like. I wouldn't take it away from someone else but it just doesn't sit well with me.
I've listened to it in my house beacause I was afraid somebody will somehow know I listen to King of Leons and will judge me. I felt like I was a hostage in my own home. I checked and the album was 40 minutes but felt like 2 hours of the same song. One song was decent (probably the one that Wiktor mentioned but I don't want to check it).
I've read that this album was a result of ending a relationship. I wish everyvody this kind of mellow and uneventful break-ups. I'm happy for Mr Beck but maybe some misery would make album more interesting.
This album is good. There are few songs so good it would bump up the rating but I like how well they are spread aparat giving you a chance to enjoy whole album.
When i go back to albums I haven't had a chance to hear I pick two types. Albums that seems like a great music or something that I can write funny comment about. This was the second type and joke is on me. By seeing folk as a genre with this old couple on the cover I was already preparing commetns about beating myself with a brick instead of listening to this. But today I decided to see a brick half full.
It's certainly not aimed for me but I feel that it is very effective in what it's trying acomplish? I don't know if that make sense but I can't give it high score and I wouldn't like to give it a low grade just because I didn't have fun.
There is nothing exceptional about this album but in kind of positive way. I had fun and I won't remember it just the way I like it.
Another exceptional grunge album, nice to listen before the work. I think Alice in the Chains was more impactful but I had lower expectations. Only objective way of comparison is listening to both albums lying on floor on the verge of OD from heroin. Mayby i will try that later.
As a concert album it's A Grade quality. There is no way that japanese people understood even a word of British English but I could feel that it didn't stop anyone from having a blast.
I thought it was produced in 21st century. I would love to give it a 5 but there is a great swing in quality of the songs. Some are fabulous, especially 'Silver' stole my heart some are just avarage. Almost 5.
I have a theory. And I won't check if it's true because this is how internet is supposed to work. I think that someone wanted samba music but for white people. Looks the same but is bland and uninteresting but I want to believe that samba music has something more to offer.
Was this album timel... Shut up, the joke today is ketamine. Shoutout to the track 'Kemistry'. I felt like I'm playing some cool 90s' game and I just kinda forgot I listened to this the next day. Working as intended.
I was ready for some fight. To hate it or love it, to pick a side in everlasting war between good and overrated. It is fine. If you are in right mood it will fit perfectly and you can enjoy some melancholy.
I knew Mr Gaye earilier but I haven't had a chance to listen to his full album. After this honestly... nothing changed. Sometimes you see things like coldplay here and you question credibility of this whole endevour. The Man is a classic for a reason and has no wonder he earned a spot or two on this list.
Zespół brzmi jakby ironicznie się dobrze bawili i nieironicznie to kocham.
I thought I will like it more. It was fine.
Fun times with nostalgic feel. Still it feels like it gives something more to the style from the past and not just recreating it.
Fun ride, there is a lot going on on this album. I feel that if i found it in my teens it would have great impact on my music taste but this spot was taken by other songs. Solid 4/5.
Sometimes you wonder what were British people cooking with all this inbreading on the island. But when you hear british punk you just accept it beacause it was all worth it.
IT'S THE SONG FROM THE THING!!!
This left so strong impression that I barely remember anything else. I think the music was a little bit whimsical?
I actually think that there is potential in this band - maybe they are famous and there are more albums. It seems like there is something missing or misplaced to break through other great bands of 50/60s(?).
Ten krążek wszedł na ostro. Każdą piosenkę poczułem głęboko w sobie i doszedłem do jednego wniosku - nie wiem co wygórowanego mogę napisać o albumie o jebalnictwie. Ale 5/5 - klasyka.
I thought this album would be something. Something good or terrible but I didn't expect this boring lame-ass music. After this I see myself siding with the War to bring down U2.
Wow you can do political message and good songs at the same time? If only U2 knew that...
Bob Marley at his best i think. Well it's a classic and there is no better reagge than this.
Another chance for some virtue signalling which is pretty great for me. Giving it 5 is easier when the songs are great though.
I have no problem with music that is whiny and pretending to be emotional. I can bite that but if you mumble through 80% of songs you get shitty album. Mr Anthony just go home and sober up one song that I could understand was somewhat decent.
Most forgettable music in history. I have vague memory of listening to it.
I have good memories of this alt-rock popularity phase. I was thinking that maybe after years it could be cringey but it was just fine. Without nostalgia it's run of the mill 3/5.
It's like a Bon Jovi of Rock Music.
Oh my god I listened to this 2 times and I barely remember anything. I know it's a me problem but I just don't want to try third time. In few days i will see if I was wrong and there was something sensational on this album. But I didn't suffer listeining to it.
Love it. It's iconic, i know this rage and i want it. 5/5 i want to throw a brick right now.
Płyta brzmiała dla mnie lekko egzotycznie i po zgooglowaniu tematu okazało się, że to fiński zespół, a płyta została wydana przez japońskie studio. Cały krążek ma bardzo świeże brzmienie i po prostu przyjemnie się tego słucha, porządny kawałek rocka lat 80'.
The cover is the most intresting part of this album it wasn't bad it wasn't really great. It existed and I listened to it.
Second album of Mr Lamar that i've heard. The first one was a positive suprise and an easy 5. I'm not sure if this album is better or worse and if it is truely a full score masterpiece material. I was planning to give it a 4 then "Bitch don't kill my vibe" closed the album and I will gladly oblige. 5/5.
Nie wiem czy to demencja czy już wymyślam coś, żeby tu pisać, ale wydawało mi się, że słyszałem vibe rocka z przełomu lat 80/90 z Polski. I zastanawiam się czy to inspiracja czy coś, kto wie może któregoś dnia poznam odpowiedź... album spoczko btw.
Baby rap - so cute <3. But we have an interesting dilemma here. Do we judge a newborn baby for being weaker than a grown person? Yes. 3/5.
This is such a fine product. Music production is top notch and Ms Christina has great voice. You have few certified bangers. She is good enough that you could almost miss soulless, meticulous crafting of this album. I think that to my suprise insecure and hurt girl is probably closest to real image of the artist.
Słuchałem tego w tramwaju i czułem się jakbym robił coś niegrzecznego. Jednak nie mogę pominac mojego ogromnego rozczarowania, gdy zobaczyłem że jedna z piosenek nazywa się Tick i wokalistka nie śpiewała tam w zapętleniu Dick Dick Dick Dick.
Głodnemu chleb na myśli/10.
Fun and kinda forgettable. It thretened with something good but never delivered on this promise. Very frustrating album if you expect something more and rather medicore if you don't have any expectations.
I was raised listening to 2pac and didn't listen to Biggie because of their beef. And i missed something huge (I mean music and not the artist himself).
I thought this album lasted for like 7 hours. I struggled to listen to it all and not in the fun way. There were good moments but i think half the songs could be cut away.
I saw this album and was like "hey it's a Passenger guy!" maybe it will be decent. But it was amazing and not knowing more of his songs it's an embaressment.
There are quite a lot medicore albums on this list but this is like some final boss of being mid. No puns, no nothing. My creativity was lost in a vacuum of generic blandness.
Begining was amazing but the second part of album was kind ahrd to listen through. But it could be ME thing. Still amazing album.
I thought it wasn't anything special but after listening to Sugar I have wraped look onto music and how deep the medicore well can go.
This album is like a tree you are passing by every day going to work. Completly mundane and unassuming but if you stop for a second you can see melancholy and beauty. It could be medicore 3 or heartwrenching 5 if you let it. Amazing music but it requires a little bit of work from a listener.
I buy it. Deeply stylized music but still feels like her own. Her voice and overall mood are great. All other parts of the album are competent and quite good. It won't be 5 because it lacks this something to grasp my heart but I'm amazed with competent prodcution that builds perfectly on strong parts of the singer and never falling below some standard to distract you from good things.
I think this is his best album that balance on his angry/funny persona. There are so many hits that I remeber from my teenage years and they still hold up pretty nicely. 5/5, almost 4.
