Thanksgiving Day = Mostly short songs, 35 minutes. The hits are okay, other parts sound dated.
More doesn't mean better, but this is still okay as a double album. The slow songs wander, the fast ones are frantic. "That's Enough For Me" is my take
and also one of the better songs.
This always seemed like an introduction the the next five Rolling Stones albums.
Very listenable for a Sunday morning jam.
Good pop songs, lots of energy. The hits are the best part
A bunch of short songs, some with catchy hooks, mostly sounding about the same.
Slow and kinda sad. Good sounding overall
Sounds Springsteenish. Waitin'on a Sunny Day is my favorite
Mostly slow and sad with some good Pop touches.
Lotsa music. Individual songs are okay, but not in a play-it-again way.
Bouncy songs, good hooks and a clean happy song. Kinda punk, kinda pop. This was a fun ride.
Some clean songs, some messy ones. Back at the farm was my favorite
Good full pop songs, the longer tunes aren't too much
This has better production values and a cleaner sound than their first couple of albums. The songs are tighter, but there's less of the boogie sound that makes ZZ Top fun.
Not the best Dire Straits album, but still good. Very clean. Some of the slow songs on the second side are less enjoyable
Smooth, beats, nice for a relaxed day
Punk popish with some techno that sounds like filler
Mostly nice bouncy very British folk pop. Some dated songs that are still okay
Crunchy guitars and loud swearing.
Bouncy, lots of notes. Then dreamy and kind of thin.
Lots of noise and beats. Runaway was okay
Macho swearing, misogyny, loud beats. Still fun.
Bouncy synthesizer, a couple of trippy slow songs. Okay for both housework and just sitting there jams.
CCR getting their sound together. Not as innovative as the upcoming flurry (4 more albums in 2 years) just good solid, chunky music. The begining of Lean Clean & Bluesy
Well produced dance music.
Bouncy pop, guitar driven. Down to the Well is good.
Story- songs about regular people.
Good beats and smooth synthizer grooves. Not as earthy as Sly & Robbie dubs, but still okay
Short grungy songs. Chunchy and fun, but vocals aren't great
Clean, lightweight well-produced pop.
Very Whoish. Mostly short, fun pop songs, good guitar riffs. The commercial jingles are clever bits but dated.
Not as many vocal gymnastics as later big poofy pop. Big beats, catchy rhythms.
Reminded me of Gram Parsons, only with more pop and punk influances. The upbeat songs work better
Trippy and fun. Very dated, wandering vocals.
Lightweight, all over the place with thin vocals. "Needles in the Camel's Eye" is an okay pop song, the rest is an uneven mix of bouncy and spacy.
"Morning Will Come" and " Animal Zoo" are upbeat and fun but aimless, the rest is lightweight, spacy and dated. Okay for a sleepy jam
Repeated plays and it's still that good.
Long songs and some country sounding short songs
bouncy pop music, 80s ish
An hour of loose rock-n-roll jams. All the ingredients, blues, soul, and attitude.
Two disc set but with some short sides. It's good Souther boogie rock with a strong LIVE feeling.
A couple well known 60ish songs with long keyboard and guitar jams, plus other songs with multiple rhythm changes
Mostly solid songs, dated but still a good collection
A bunch of British rock stars playing classic American blues. Good gritty guitar jams
Good songs and mellow music. Kind of sad but okay
a dozen short songs that have held the test of time
smooth groves, easy bass driven dub
An easy bunch of cover songs
mostly slow songs, some country swing.
big songs, as good as Hendrix gets
This is a good full album,. Less industrial than some U2
Smoother and poetic, thhis has aged well
The bluesy, mid-tempo songs are good. Techno in a personal way
Lightweight techno pop. Okay for easy days
Crunchy guitars and heavy beats mixed with machismo, bravado and misogny. The Beasties boys used the same formula but didn't take themselves seriously. This is the kind of thing that gives ignorant white trash a bad name.
Bouncy pop with lots of rhythm changes
A mix of fun frantic blues-rock and slow muddy guitars. Sometimes both in the same song.
Mostly sad songs, well-structured and interesting. "Man In A Shed" is the most upbeat of the bunch
Big and bold and fun. More rock than I expected
Smooth long jams with interesting solos. Not too heavy
A dozen short Electric Country songs, the classic tales with a twang. Solid structure, a bridge btween Hank Williams and Gram Parsons.
A bunch of short, mostly fast songs. A lot of ideas and energy, like Costello's first couple albums, but not quite as structured. Still real tasty hooks and like Sublime, an the entire collection is greater than the parts.
One long, wandering spacy song. Relaxing and melancholy, disjointed,
Some longer songs with sound effects, some short songs with sound effects. Very British, solid beats
Youtube had a Clean version, so that's what I listened to.
There's lots of anger, but the upbeat parts are fun and the slow parts are comfortable. Innovative and influential, so it still sounds fresh.
The rhymic parts with less electronic parts are okay.
Weird unfun arrhythmic. Not Steve Goodman.
Thumping electronics. Driving beassts with some light voices.
Sounds more R&B now than it sounded in 1998.
Bright bouncy synthesizer and breathy vocals. The hits are okay, the rest is the same
Losta good country singing and strings
Sometimes crunchy and frantic, sometimes playful. Not too serious
Breathy vocals, lightweight songs but some good guitar
More gritty and bluesy than the latter stuff
Great blues. Solid songs.
Very English. Some good tight songs, some drifting.
A lot of diffrent styles, sometimes all over the place. The upbeat songs work best and there's catchy hooks and good songs everywhere.
Spacy, pretentious and silly.
stomping cheering rockabilly fun
More accessible than Pink Moon.
Upbeat electronic songs are good. The slow stuff is less fun.
Sloppy sometimes, silly most of the time. More blues based than their latter stuff.
Lightweight, kinda sounds like make it up as you go
A little harder edge than My Aim Is True, and a little less accessible. The songs are catchy but not with the same punch as some other stuff. Good solid punk
The Best CCR album. Like the sign says "Lean Clean and Blusey"
Sometimes kind of REMish, but the slower parts are less catchy and the fast parts are more frantic.
Such Great Music, but SO slow and retrospective with lots of sad words. Maybe a 2.5
A few short mostly real slow songs. Sometimes sad pop music, sometimes bouncy pop music. Strings and horns and singing.
Loose and rocking, good songs and a couple long jams
A lot of the same type songs. Decent guitar rock but it wears
She seems upset. Sometimes angry, mostly sad. Someone sould dend her some flowers
A bit different from the Folsom Prison album. Only 30 minutes of music and talking. "Wanted Man" is good.
Smooth and dreamy, this is Hendrix at his best.
Little Wing is so sadly short
They're angry about something, hard to tell from the lyrics what it is. Really good bass lines and some nice guitar, but the Oh so spooky lyrics are distracting
Messy and frantic, which is what Grindcore is supposed to be, I guess.
A couple of the "songs" are structured, but it's mostly short blasts of chunky anger. I enjoyed this more than I thought I would.
At first this was a1.5 stars, then one song kinda stuck with me, so I listened again. So maybe a 2. Nice guitar and interesting structure on some songs, but too slow and sad for that many oh so deep and thoughtful lyrics.
Jersey Jersey Jersey. Good rock music with a full sound and Dylan-ish lyrics
Loud pounding and screaming
Not really songs, just loose jams with a bunch of happy musicians. Loose and spooky
Spacy with lots of thumping. I enjoyed this more than expected, the vocal gymnastics are interesting, some songs sound incomplete
Lightweight, popish, not all that catchy. But nice smooth vocals and the angst and happy are well balanced. Not my thing but enjoyable.
Good message clouded by the same rhythms and tones. Maybe a 1.5
This was okay at first, then some songs were less pop and more emo and sounded the same. But it was a decent enough sound.
Lightweight and dated, but still good smooth jams.
Rough and sometimes repetitive, but the best cuts are big sassy punk rock cornerstones. I bought this CD along with Toni Childs "Union" at a used disc shop one day. The clerk claimed it would be the only time ever somebody would purchase those two albums at the same time.
Quirky soul beats, fancy vocals. Better than the glam Bowie
Mostly loud and frantic, all over the place and dated, but still decent rock
This had some nice spacy moments, but at times was crowded with extra noises.
Lots of thumping and mean angry sounds
Liked this more than expected. Steady stream of smooth and driven grooves. Vocal gymanistics with feeling, nice horns. Yeah
Little less punk, little more production. There's good beats in here, along with some "huh?" lyrics and some extra odd sounds, but Graveyard and No Birds are solid
Good mix of pop and punk. Catchy songs with British vocals, guitars, keyboards, some thick bass. Almost four stars
Like a really laid back lounge act. Relaxing and both sad and happy at the same time
Gets everything right, individual songs, overall sounds, REM at their best
Thought we had some Nick Drake before. Great fancy guitars and well structured songs. Just too slow and sad and complicated for my taste
My roomie had this album and played it constantly. At least the band didn't seem to take their image too seriously. Thump thump chunk chunk, but in a fun sorta way
This group of songs convinced me that Grunge was good.
Big guitars over the top on almost every song. Pop music that sounds like real rock.
Bunch of good crunchy songs with pop sensability. Not overpowering but smart and fun.
I enjoyed Junk Culture, this is a little darker sounding. But still rich and the songs as a whole make this good from start to finish
Probably the best solo effort by an ex-Beatle.
Chompy Chompy beats and guitars with cryptic lyrics. Gotta be in the mood for this and I wasn't, but it's still fun and jamming
Thumpy and Zingy. Where does it go ?
Lightweight and dated, mostly folksy
Spacy electronics, breathy vocals, some catchy lightweight pop
This was better than Revolution 9 by the Beatles
I've got the first three Waits albums on CD and enjoy them. This is messy and sounds like he's just making it up as he goes.
Old slow stuff that old guys like me listen to
Fancy music, echos, beats. Not lightweight, mostly happy sounding
Think I had this on CD, nice folky songs
Rock and roll with some other sounds mixed in
Good old country. Dated but still classic songs
