probably more a nostalgia 4, closer to a 3?
spotify auto play shuffled me into some other bowie, but i'm pretty sure i liked the songs from this one
Some nostalgic hits but too long and filled with meh songs otherwise
strange that there are 6 songs with 70m+ listens on spotify but i had only heard and really enjoyed the three lesser ones. Guess i'm just not Billy's target audience
interesting and novel, but audio quality and the nature of it wasn't enjoyable
idk radiohead just isn't really for me
Still chef, but less distracting than the last album
For some reason black sabbath was one of the metal bands i didn't listen to as much of when i was young. Feels like a mistake
A few songs I recognized and enjoyed, but kinda meh otherwise
Vocals didn't really do it for me otherwise probably would be a 5. Could listen to steely dan jam all day
not always looking for ac/dc, but this album is loaded
Not everyone who did acid made good music
Blister in the sun is one of my favs but never listened to much else. Bass player was grooving most of this album
didn't mind the arrangements, but tswift lyrics are kinda weird, and not for me
liked parts, but couldn't really get into it
really wanted to give it a 5, but decided to round down from a 9/10
The one classic song (solsbury hill) but i enjoyed most of the others too
Gives hope for all the vocally challenged artists, if you can also be effortlessly cool
can't agree that this is essential listening
i listened to a couple and they were fine, but i couldn't be bothered to listen to the whole thing
I think i've managed to like radio head less by listening to them more
Not all of these older albums hold up in my opinion, but I really liked the sound of this one
loud distorted blues? interesting though given its release date.
nothing wrong with it, but not my type of music. none of the singer-songwriters really are
i didn't like it nearly as much as the previous "school's out" which i listened to as a kid a lot
Classic hits and I mostly enjoyed the 'others' more than i might have initially expected. I will say some of the early techno sounds/tropes have not aged the best
Nice background music, but the extended version would go on too long
The lyrics to "A Fan's Mail":
Meow, meow
Meow, meow, meow, meow, meow
Meow, meow
Meow
I wish I had nine lives
I bet it feels real nice
Sitting in the sun
Letting the rains wash over me
No one watching over me
I do what I want
Everybody wants to be a cat
It's cool to be a cat
Everything the light touches
It's where I would roam
My roar would be so powerful
I would scare off everything
Cool to be a cat (meow, meow, meow, meow)
Cool to be a cat (meow, meow, meow, meow)
Cool to be a cat (meow, meow, meow, meow)
Cool to be a cat
Meow, meow
Meow, meow, meow, meow, meow
Meow, meow
Meow, meow
Meow, meow
Mostly enjoyed the sound, but nothing to really make it stick in my mind
Always gotta love Stevie. Good to listen to some that i'd passed over to skip to higher ground previously
not for me, though some were nice sections of early punk
could have died before hearing and been just fine
Idk if I ever listened to an ABBA album front to back despite liking them. Love their sound but some songs I would pass over on a relisten
I loved a lot of this, but it felt like 3/4ths were skits and flava flav rather than Chuck D rapping
I thought I liked Neil young more, but vocals and music were just meh
Good groove for the most part but meh sections
Good chance to be my favorite on the list, but I knew that beforehand...
Too far down the 'noises' path
Too long, and too many atmospheric meh songs
Liked some of the classic covers, but this is like the 5th best Beatles album
Fun and bluesy at times, some sections sound messy to me though
Love the opening half or so. This was first zeppelin album I got into
Great album with quite a few classics - a solid 9/10
5/5 is an insufficient amount of stars. Amazing album start to finish
