I was definitely not in the mood to enjoy this album at its fullest, but short i focused the most on how well it captured Janis voice! I cannot give it more than three cuz i didn’t feel it moved it at the time, however, i recognise it’s potential for the year it was recorded
Top tier jazz album. However, i am not this type of jazz listener. The musicianship and expression is tremendous, but not what gets me excited for a full album.
Majestic
I understand TS hype in some ways, but i think she has better albums to be on the list. This is a great album, but not necessarily to listen before we die :)
Easy good-feeling album. Top production thinking about this in the 1975. The voice of The Boss is always for me a two feeling thing. I both like it and don’t fully enjoy it for long periods. However, this album have many other great melodies along with pianos and brass, makes it even better.
The album felt like one big mood and it is very enjoyable, but didn’t feel further creative for what it expresses.
I can understand the relevance of this album. However, it does not hit me to enjoy it fully. Great production for the era.
I loved this album! A bit raw, but well… 77s Iggy and David, who knows what was going one in their bloodstreams! The compositions sound somehow timeless, the sound definitely not… but the overall vibe was great. Will come back to this album later.
This album is an easy 5/5 thinking of it on its time. But of course sound wise maybe it loses half star compared to Synchronicity which is an easy 5/5 from all perspectives. Music wise, this is just genius. All instruments sound so much fun to listen or to play! The voice and armonies on point, and the music very touching. Also impressive the amount of influences from different styles. 4,5/5
Not their best, but the intent of this album was mixing it with more modern (at that time) compositions and sounds. For that, it was extremely successful. A fun to listen album, with a pleasant mix.
Didn’t resonate with me much. Some songs were enjoyable and “trippy”. I could feel lots of 70s ifluence with what was going on in the 90s, extremely pleasant. But it is one of these albums i might never get back to. Maybe some songs i would. All in all? I love the master, so chill and pleasant to the ear.
This music is so different to what i listen to, that it almost felt like new to me. The melodies captivated me on a Monday morning. Charming, dreamy and it felt like a story all along. By the half of the album, i felt the vibrato was a bit tiresome, it is his signature, but it quite not stuck with me. Great album overall, i enjoyed it. I might come back when i eun out of ideas on what to play with friends around!
Solid album. Didn’t click with me, but i would for sure enjoy later.
This is gold. Never heard of Gil before, neither read his name. I was missing a lot. So much feeling, musicianship, control, and beautiful lyrics. I would give a 5, this could be 4.75/5. I just wanna save that 5th star for what really blows my mind (if any) Annoying that the album is not on Spotify, at least for me…
Hot. Classic. It just sounds a bit old these days, but the theme and punch is there. So many classics. I am hesitant to give 4stars just considering the amount of other similar music like this album is also out there that i would have personally chosen instead of this one. But this is a solid 3.75/5
What can i say? Majestic, perfection, a perfect album. Sound engineering of it, complex melodies, fun changes, the guitar sound rocks hard… I better stop writing, you get the point. 5/5
Super biased here, i love Black Sabbath. This was never my favourite Ozzy’s Sabbath era’s album, but the riffage is massive, the sound one of their best and compositions are quite different. I would chose 4.5/5
