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.
It's like your favourite Disney song but worse!
Beatles. It's just that good.
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.
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 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 mean It's fineeee
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.
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.
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?
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
It was fun.
