I've loved Eddie Vedder's voice since first hearing "Alive", and later "Into The Wild". His voice conveys pure, raw emotion, making it perfect for storytelling.
This album took me back to 90s old school hip hop. Great album from start to finish.
I went into this not knowing what to expect and was pleasantly surprised. I didn't understand the lyrics, but was impressed by the instrumentals and vocals.
I wanted to like this but the first couple of songs weren't for me. It started getting good from "You and Whose Army?" but not great. The album overall felt incomplete. I think a couple of songs will grow on me with time.
Just seconds into the first song, I knew immediately I would love this album. Loved the vibe and vocals. Very well done.
Beautiful vocals but the album didn't excite me until the last couple of songs. "Raised on Robbery" really woke the album up and was by far the best track.
I was expecting better. Some catchy hooks but mostly just noise at times.
Great, upbeat album. Loved the vocals and how well suited the different singing styles were to each song. Guitars and drums on this record were great
What a voice. What a performer. Wish I could've seen him live
I feel like this album will grow on me with time. There are some great songs on here, perfect for late night drives
Never heard of the band so I went into this not knowing what to expect. Wikipedia had the album listed as alternate dance, so I wasn't expecting to like it as much as I did. The singer has a unique voice and the music felt almost ethereal at times. They almost lost me at the first 7 minute (mostly instrumental) track ... Does any album really need two 7 minute long (again, mostly instrumental and repetitive) tracks?? Idk but I liked the second one better than the first for sure. Overall it was a great album
Feels like I've just entered the toilets at a fun African restaurant, and life is good
Some really good songs on here. "Bombsite Boy" and "Gary Gilmore's Eyes" really stood out for me, and I'll likely revisit the album again for these songs. Some tracks felt like filler but maybe they'll grow on me
The first half of the album had me questioning why this record was chosen for this list. He saved in the second half.
Great live album. Great vocals.. I just don't think the 16 minute drum solo was needed though
I could listen to this all day
The music made for a chilled listening session, but the vocals were underwhelming at times, and didn't captivate my attention. "So Long, Marianne" was the best song on the album. I feel like I could've got more out of the album had I paid more attention to the lyrics, but for a first listen, I'd say 2/5.
Very chilled album. No fillers
The music itself was chill but it was hard to get past the lyrics which were mostly cringey. The vocals were boring at times which didn't help either
Nice, chilled, comforting sound, but didn't wow me
Instrumentals were great. "Are you ready eddy?" was a fun track to finish with
Unique sound and great debut. Some songs didn't connect with me but I think they'll grow on me with time
I loved every track on this record. It didn't disappoint. The guitar and drums were insane
Good lighthearted album. Really enjoyed some of the slower songs
Instruments were all insane. I just couldn't get past the vocals. Seemed annoying at times
The songs didn't resonate with me at first. Tracks like Cheree felt like they were on the verge of something great but didn't quite get there. The lyrics were odd, and seemed almost improvised. I decided to listen again to see if I was missing something. I preferred it the second time around and was more aware of the influences drawn from this record that were present in albums by other musicians. For that reason, I'll give it a 3
Classic synth pop at its finest. I feel like this would've been groundbreaking at the time of release
Great album. Loved the guitars. It's just a shame reading the reviews is how I found out Eric Clapton is/was a racist :/
Great album, full of energy, but the vocals came across exaggerated and pretentious at times
The guitars were sick. I loved every track. Technically an EP so it shouldn't be on this list but glad I was introduced to this record and band
My friend's a fan so I went into this expecting it to be good. I had only heard Our House prior to this and found the the other tracks were a fun listen, although borderline racist?
Music was good but felt like the songs dragged on here and there
Creating a song game made up of tape loops of studio recording errors is genius. The songs are great, very diverse and I'll definitely be listening again
Sounds like they were drunk when they recorded this haha I liked the first half
There were parts of songs that I liked, but as a whole felt too long and sounded quite repetitive
Smooth voice and a lot of heart
Some of the subject matter was questionable but I liked the overall vibe
Good album but the songs started sounding the same after a while
The singles are timeless. It's the first time I've heard the rest of the album and loved it
Not something I would normally listen to. Their vocals compliment each other very well, and there's some good songs on here but I wouldn't consider it an album you must listen to before you die
Some of the songs are fun, but the vocals aren't all there. I wouldn't consider it a "must listen"
Alright this took me on a whole ride
Track 1 - music for drinking wine to
Track 2 - Trippy music that feels like you're in a colourful trance
Track 3 - it's giving "drinking out of a coconut with an umbrella in it" vibes
Track 4 - Feels like you're running but not getting anywhere
This is the second R.E.M. album I've heard from this list now. Great vocals and will definitely be relistening in the future
A little odd at times lyrically. Decent vocals but got boring
Feels like I'm right there in the jazz club with them, sat at the bar
The album artwork has not been executed well. The spacing is annoying me but aside from that..
there are some classics on this album, and it's clear that it influenced music that followed. Feel like I'm driving around listening to the radio on GTA San Andreas
Some good songs here and there but got boring very quickly
Fantastic album. I always struggled to get into Springsteen but this album did it for me. I'll definitely be relistening to this
Starting an album with news reports of your shooting is iconic
The soundtrack is so good it makes me want to watch the film
I didn't expect to like this as much as I did. This would be great for long drives
Great voice. Great album. Had a melancholy vibe to it
The Kinks are always a fun time and this album was no exception. Great, upbeat songs
So chilled but can't see myself playing it again
Unique voice and good vibes, but the songs felt a bit too long
Nothing groundbreaking, but it's a good listen
The teenage angst in me will always love songs like these
I just couldn't get into it. It was good at times but each song was too long
Good album but it started to sound the same a couple songs in. The last song was a nice change
Refreshing album that I know will grow on me with more listens
Love the wailing guitars on this record
Did I need to hear this album before I died? No.
Did I like it anyway? Yes.
This feels like perfect background music
The best song on the album was Psycho Killer. I didn't think the rest of the songs weren't as good unfortunately
Where has this album been all my life
Not a record I would normally listen to, but I quite liked it
It doesn't matter how old or new a song is.. something about Anthony Kiedis' voice is just so nostalgic
Scottish reggae...something about this just works
There's definitely a couple songs on here that I see myself returning to. Really nailed that slow, chilled mood
I couldn't get into Zeppelin years ago so I've never really given them a chance until now. There's some great songs on this record that I'll be returning to for sure
Everything Brian Wilson touches turns to gold
Beautifully dark but feels repetitive at times as the songs start to sound the same
Very calming. I could listen to this guy sing the alphabet and not get bored
Started off well but track 3 came out of nowhere and changed the sound. I'm just not a fan of electronic music
I liked the guitars but not much else
First time listening to this album and something about it already feels so timeless. His voice sounds so smooth on this record and makes for easy listening
There's something very calming about this
Beautiful, captivating voice. Perfect for 60s music
Music was alright, but the vocals felt amateur
This feels like if a villain Cartoon Network band made a halloween album
Not for me. Feels like I'm summoning a demon while listening to this
His voice was made for this kind of music
Good album but I feel like it's missing something that makes other 60s song special
Great album, great vocals. Really fun
Great, fun background music
I feel like this needs a second listen where I can take it all in properly. First thoughts though... Great, chilled vibe
This sounds like a bunch of guys coming together to make music for the first time, having fun and not taking themselves too seriously. I liked it
Sounds like the same song throughout. It was okay but I probably won't listen to it again
Some great songs on here. Love the closer
Great late night listening. I could've listened to another hour of this
Good album, just a little too long
Liked this more than I thought I would. Fun, upbeat album. The vocals are a bit whiny at times but the choruses save it
The guitars just rip through your soul on this one
Track 2 and 3 are perfect for moments when you just want to be sad and think
The guitars on this record are insane
I enjoyed it but some songs were a bit too odd for my liking
Good album, but it quickly becomes very repetitive. I think the overall sound would've made more of an impact had they shortened the album tracks
I just couldn't get into this. Some songs felt like a draft
Great album. I think I'd enjoy it even more after another listen
Great, chilled music, and nice harmonies
Good album but I can't see myself listening to it again
I already knew Hendrix was great, but listening to this has made me a fan
Timeless. I had to double check the date on this because it could've easily been made in recent years. The music sounds so modern. Great record
The studio tracks are great but this unplugged version adds a new layer of rawness to them
I really enjoyed this. The vocals were so different from track to track that it felt like a mix of styles that were meant for seperate records at times
I liked parts of songs here and there, but overall they were too long. I know that's typical with this genre but i just wasn't a fan
Not usually my type of music but the guitar was sick on this
Good album but i felt like it was missing some of that magic that makes an album worth "listening to before you die"
Nothing groundbreaking, but a fun record
This sounds like if Roger Daltrey had continued with the sound from The Who's My Generation album
Good but not great... I'm the wrong audience for this
Some songs are longer than necessary, but other than that it was pretty good
Such a chilled vibe and I'm looking forward to listening to it again some time
My initial impression was that the song titles were long and pretentious. I wasn't expecting to like this, but there's something so fun yet peaceful and calming about the songs on this record. I thought it would drag when I saw the length and number of songs, but it didn't feel like an hour at all. Its hard to think of songs that stood out after the first listen but I'm sure this will change over time
Oooooh shit. The guitar on this slaps. Am I a Sabbath fan now? I guess so
Looking forward to a second listen where I can listen to it more closely. Love the energy and rebellion on this record
Love the bluesy classic rock vibe. Didn't like certain parts where the tempo would change but overall a great album
I just know me 5 years ago would've loved this. The music (drums and vocals in particular) were so hard hitting
I feel like I just stepped back in time
Every song sounds the same but in a different font. Overall great album though
This is one of those albums I wish I heard when I was younger
I love how vocals sound so raw in country music. It really makes you believe the words being said. Overall this was a great album. The only thing I'd change is the length. I liked that the 2nd part was mostly instrumentals but again, it could've been shorter. It's impressive that the songs were all recorded in 1 or 2 takes
Love the similarly named song titles on side one. I liked the vibe of the album (very cowboy-esque) but it wasn't very interesting overall, which is a shame because the vocals were great and had potential
In The End still sounds as good as it did all those years ago
Great album, and I know it will only get better the more I play it
It all sounded the same after a while. Some good parts here and there but I just couldn't get into it
I didn't get it at first, but the more I listened the more fun it got I guess?
Surprised by how much I enjoyed this. Great, fun record
I went into this only knowing one or two songs but was quickly won over. This is a 5/5 record for sure
Started off well but declined with every song. It had potential but it just wasn't interesting enough to me
This album embodies everything I love about blues/rock n roll. This was my first time listening and I can't wait to listen to more Stones albums
I'm not usually a fan of this genre, but I liked some parts here and there. I can't see myself listening to the album again in full but might return to a song or two in the future
Didn't understand a single word...but I get it
What a voice...the kind you could listen to sing the phone book and it would still sound great
Such an incredible/warm voice. I'll be listening to this again for sure
Great collection of songs, but at times it felt like they didn't flow well together
Good but each song just feels too long
The songs all sound the same, but hey it works. Normally that kind of thing would get boring but I'm not even mad. The guitar and vocals are sick
Some of these songs just drag onnn
Great story behind the performance
Great album with some filler
This is one of those albums that instantly takes me back to the first time I heard it and how moving it was
Brian Eno wasn't wrong about this...
Great album overall, but I think this is the first time I've listened to it and noticed how out of place some songs are considering the album concept
I get the vision but it kinda falls flat because of the vocals. The music itself was great, but the vocals just werent
This seems like a couple of friends got together to make an album for fun and accidentally ended up on the "1001 albums to listen to before you die" list. It's great and a whole lot of nothing all at the same time. The lead singer has a great voice
Love the album. Very upbeat vibe.
The wiki was a very sad read though, knowing this album led to his mother's murder
Nothing about this screams listen to this before you die. Some of the beats were good but half way through, they got too choppy, like drumming out of time
Knew I'd love it from the first "goodbyeee" on track one. Feels like I've stumbled on the best hidden gem, and it's easily now one of my favourite albums
Lovefool is such a great song. The rest of the album was really good but does start to sound the same
An album so perfectly crafted that you can visualise movements and colour when you close your eyes and really listen. Each sound was created with purpose, using experimental, innovative methods, like plucking piano strings with a bobby pin. The vocals were layered in what can only be described as a spiritual awakening, with backing vocals lighting up sections of songs. It is quite simply the greatest album ever made.
RIP Brian
A little weird but it works I guess
Pretty cool that Dave wrote and recorded the album by himself and later formed the band
I'll be honest, I listened to this when I was feeling tired and this put me to sleep. Its so soothing haha
One of those albums that will grow on me with time I think
This was so good. It's not the greatest album but I could definitely see myself coming back to this over and over again in the future
This album is easy listening
Great record. Younger me would've loved it
Good album but it felt like something was missing
It started off feeling like unpolished demos but there were a couple good songs in there
More rap albums need saxophones
Great album but it felt like they ran out of material at the end and threw in instrumentals. Yeah it was the same vibe but it felt like it didn't belong
Some decent songs on here but nothing that someone must hear before they die
Beautiful is one of the greatest songs ever made
It's not that the songs were bad... They were just kinda boring and sounded the same
Sick flow. Love the old school beats
This feels like something a cult would listen to
It was alright but felt boring, like it was lacking something
There's something so good about this that I can't quite figure out. I think this is the first time I've heard an album on here and decided I need to buy the record. There's a chilled, calming quality to the singers voice that makes it unique
The only time I recall hearing the name Marty Robbins before this was on Endless Wire by The Who, so I wasn't sure what to expect.
This record was badass. I'm an instant fan after hearing it.
Some of the songwriting seemed very lazy. The vocals were decent but should've been given better songs to showcase this
Great record but i think it would be better after another listen
Incredible voice, perfect for this genre. The album flowed really well and every song felt like a hit
Surprised the is album isn't talked about more when discussing 60s music. This is the first time I've heard it, and although it's no Pet Sounds, it's not trying to be. It's just a fun record and should be more known for sure
Pretty fun collection of songs, perfect for chilled evening listening
Usually this is the kind of album I would like but this just felt like noise
Great feel good jazz record. Great background music
Fun, relaxing type of record. Makes me want to get drunk on wine
Feels like it was on the verge of something great but didn't quite get there
Great collection of songs. Cosmic Dancer will always remind me of Billy Elliott
That beat drop in Calvary Cross was heavenly. Incredible album
I get what they were trying to do but it just didn't resonate with me. All the songs sounded too similar to make an impact
The songs are so forgettable and boring
A voice made for storytelling
Noisy, distorted and raw in all of the best ways
This feels so nostalgic (even though I was just a baby when it came out)
It's like nostalgia with hints of asmr
Back to back easy listening. Very classic sounding with catchy lyrics
This made me want to go to 1969 and experience this record sung live
I can see myself coming back to relisten to a couple songs here and there, but not the album in full. It's missing the energy they had in Song 2
One of my new favourite albums... I knew it was going to be great as soon as I saw Free Bird on the tracklist. Everything about this is so well put together. The vocals, instruments and lyrics all compliment each other beautifully
There's some good songs on this but I just couldn't get into it. I think a second listen one day might change my mind
I can tell this guy was insanely talented, but it just felt too long
Intriguing at parts but not as a whole
His voice is so haunting, in a good way
The instrumentals felt out of place and unnecessary
I can see why people like them so much. Great album
He gives off such a cool vibe. He could sing numbers from the phone book and I'm convinced it would still sound so good
A modern classic for sure. Every part of this record feels intentional, purposeful, and crafted with care
Incredible voice. The Jackson 5 cover at the end is one of the best I've ever heard
First time listening to this and it wasn't what I expected. Great album. There's something really special about this
Great old school sounding record. I read a review here saying the vinyl opened like a school desk so of course I had to check it out on YouTube, and wow props to the designer. Great execution
When the sun goes down takes me back to the 2000s. What a tune
Just not a fan of dance music. Couldn't really get into it
What I imagine taking LSD feels like
If I was a teenager in the 70s this would've made me want to start a band
An ok album, but not really one suited for this list
Boring and generic lyrics
This just opened my eyes to how talented he is. What a voice
Not a fan of the vocals or the way the songs end so abruptly. The songs don't tie in well together. It doesn't feel like a collection of songs that belong together
Great surprise seeing this on my list today :) there's so much soul/life in this record
Full of energy. Great album
It's like listening to your grandpa singing songs by the fireplace, while the rain quietly pours outside. What's not to like?!
He has a nice voice and the album has a calm vibe to it, but the songs aren't anything special
Some classic songs on this record. It felt a little too long
My first time hearing this, and it already sounds like a "soundtrack of my life" type album.
Interesting start to an album
I'm used to John Mayer's cover of Wait Until Tomorrow, so it always been slightly strange to me hearing the original
Overall it was a great album. The wailing guitars were insane on this record
There's so much warmth in her voice. Great record. Easy listening
Decent album but nothing really stood out
This feels so 80s and atmospheric
I slept like a baby after listening to this last night. It's a shame it isn't available on Spotify. I could see myself coming back to this
Decent album with a couple songs that stand out. I don't think I would revisit it though
The genre isn't something I would normally like but this album surprised me
This was refreshing. There's so much going on here, so much to take in. I considered giving it a 4, but there's something so unique about this record. It's a 5 for sure
I'm giving this a 2 but I do think it has potential. I was listening to this while working out, which probably killed it for me. I feel like under the right circumstances I could've liked it more but right now it's a 2
Sounds like the perfect soundtrack for a coming of age movie. Sure it's not the greatest album ever made but I immediately wanted to listen again after the first time (if it wasn't 3am right now I would have)
Parklife is one of my favourite songs from that decade so I had high expectations going into this. To the end is definitely up there. How have I not heard this before??
The second half of the album isn't as good as the first but maybe it'll grow on me
This felt eerie to listen to knowing what was happening to him then and his soon-to-be worsening state. Dark Globe in particular is heartbreaking
RIP Syd
Some crazy riffs but overall it just wasn't for me. Felt a little too long
I didn't know what to expect going into this. I didn't know the artist or what type of genre to expect. There were a couple of songs that really stood out to me, and overall it made for light hearted, easy listening
Every time I listen to Billy Joel I can't believe how catchy the songs are and how good his vocals are...and then I forget again
Second half of the album was good but I don't think I'd listen again. Once was enough
Never heard of this band. It sounded a bit generic at times but overall great vocals
This was boring. Nothing really stood out to me.
There is a light that never goes out is one of my favourite songs of that decade. The rest of the album wasn't as good as that particular song but it did have it's stand out moments
The music is great. It's so fun and upbeat. The singer has a very unique, raw voice that just works with this style. The first 6 or so songs were better than the rest
A few stand out tracks, and overall a decent album
I feel like you have to be in the right mood to really appreciate a record like this. There were definitely some great tracks on here but the rest dragged on a bit. I'm sure I would enjoy it after a couple listens
There's so many great songs on here that I'm willing to pretend that the McCartney collab doesn't exist for the sake of this review. It's so out of place. The rest of the album deserves a 5/5
This takes me back to my childhood. I think this was my first time listening to the album in full.. the songs still go hard 20+ years later
I was surprised by how much I liked this. It was quite refreshing, and the overall sound was unique
Just felt very uninspired. It was lacking energy
I thought I would like it more than I did. Maybe I just need to listen to it again..
First time listening to this album, and I think it's the first time I've actually heard of this band.. I could listen to this forever
Great blues record, but a little too long.
The samples were insane and were the highlight for me. They fit in so well with the verses
Why do I feel drunk from listening to this.. the album was a little too long but apart from that, good chilled record
This was so chilled. An example of a great instrumentals only record
Not the best album.. not the worst album.. somewhere in the middle
I read "electronic music band" in the description and was prepared to hate this. It ended up being the opposite of what I was expecting. It was so calming. I liked all but one song. They do all sound very similar though
Great debut with a clear direction. 5/5 for sure
This is the first Manic Street Preachers album I've listened to. Reading the wiki and learning about Richey Edwards was sad, and I respect the band for leaving a microphone on stage for him after all these years. I hope Richey's family get closure
As for the album, it was great, and I most likely will listen again but next time with more focus on the lyrics
Unique voice, great record
Decent album but a little too long
Great album. Definitely one I will revisit in the future so I can listen properly and really take it all in
This was sooo chilled and refreshing
This is so 80s. So smooth
Didn't love it but didn't hate it. There's a few standout songs here and there
A few good songs but overall it was kinda boring
Feels dated but still fun. A couple great tracks
Good album, but not one I could see myself listening to again in full
Great debut album. Definitely an album I will come back to so I can really take it all in
Everything I want in a 60s album
First listen...a couple good songs but nothing memorable. It felt like it was missing something
Great debut. And definitely some new favourites
This felt like a spiritual awakening
Some of these songs could've been a lot shorter. They just went on and on
There's 1 or 2 songs I don't see myself going back to. The rest of the album was pretty good. Very chilled
This felt like a collection of songs, rather than songs which fit together to make an album.. that being said, the majority was so ridiculously good
This album is all over the place..in a .... good way?
The Beach Boys never miss. Their vocals are next level
One or two good songs but the rest didn't really stand out. The "Across the universe" cover was terrible and unnecessary
So this is my first time listening to this... I didn't realise it was a double solo record at first, which is an interesting approach. I was digging the first half and expected the second to be somewhat similar. It definitely surprised me. Very long but it's definitely a no skip album
One or two good songs but the rest was boring
There are some big, well-known/popular songs on here so I'm sure there are many people who enjoyed this. It's just not for me though
Great album, great voice. Felt like a greatest hits album
Fun, light hearted record. Very of the time
This was so relaxing. Perfect for chilled, cozy evenings
Most of the songs didn't feel memorable but some good ones here and there. It doesn't feel unique
This sounds like it's straight out of a 90s ps1 skiing game
Great music but I would've liked it more if he didn't long out every other word
Good for background music but when trying to really listen to it it just feels too long
Feels like it's on the verge of something great
This makes for some good chilled background music
Great album but it definitely felt repetitive at parts
Great album. Very of the time
There's a lot of great songs on here, but truthfully , I feel like I forgot most of this album as soon as I listened
That guitar was so relaxing and chilled
A collection of great songs back to back
This was all very 'Tom and Jerry', and I'm blown away by the talent that the individuals who put this together have. Sad that it's not on Spotify but hopefully one day it will be. The album as a whole was incredible and so very well done, although I can see how it's not for everyone
I was waiting for this to get good and it never happened
Beautifully sung and cheery
What a voice. What an album. No skips.
This all slowly started blending into one
Decent album with a few standouts
What an incredible voice. I knew she was great but wow I've definitely been missing out
I wanted to like this but the distortion is all over the place
This feels like someone's grandpa singing to you :)
Dreams is one of my favourite songs, and I was surprised by how many more songs on this album I knew. Really enjoyed this
Theres some good songs on here, but it felt neverending
I instantly recognised Green Onions from Pete Townshend's book 'Who I Am'. This was a great record. It was easy to get lost in the music
Fun record that doesn't take itself too seriously
I don't think I've ever heard a bad T. Rex song. I guess I'm a fan
This was nothing like what I was expecting, and I was pleasantly surprised. Great album for late nights
A couple of good songs but I couldn't wait for this album to finish. I wanted to like it but her voice got annoying quite quickly
This was strange... Half of me liked it, and the other half was wondering what was going on
It's been over 20 years and these songs still hit
I thought I would like this because I liked another one of their songs but I guess not .. don't get me wrong, there were good songs on this record but nothing really stood out
This feels like the kind of album that requires a couple listens for it to really grow on you
This started off so well then got so chaotic haha the overall sound and vocals felt quite unique
Felt warm but easily forgettable. There's a few songs I think I'll revisit at some point
A lot of this felt like sounds you'd hear in a jungle
While this was good, it felt a little forced at times. Somewhat pretentious
Decent album but i didn't connect with it much
If you take out the first and last song, its becomes a pretty sick album. The instrumentals go hard
If I was growing up when this album came out, I just know it would've been one of my favourites
Just not the type of music I enjoy
I probably would've enjoyed this more if I had seen the movie and had visuals to tie it to? There were great songs on here, don't get me wrong, but it felt too long and repetitive
Such a great voice. How did I go decades without hearing this album in full
I could've done another hour of this. Great punk record
Some good songs but nothing groundbreaking
Killer album. I felt every drum beat
Really enjoyed this. Some of these songs don't sound like they belong together, or maybe it's the order of the tracklist, but regardless, it's a great record
Just heard this for the first time, and it's easily a 5. This for sure feels like an album everyone should hear. How can you hear this and not feel happy?!
Seeing electronic group in the description was off putting.. Its not the kind of music I'm into so I wasn't expecting much from this but I was pleasantly surprised. Very chilled album with a good variety of singers
Liked his voice and style
Really good range of songs here, although a couple feel like they don't belong overall
Lexicon Devil has got to be one of the best punk songs of all time
Season of the witch is so so good. The rest of the album has some great tracks as well but this one in particular feels so timeless
Everything you want in a Christmas album
This was ridiculously good
This felt like a movie. It would be cool to see this turned into a short film telling different people's situations and life stories
Seems like a good album but the singers voice lacks a certain charm
I just know I would've loved this as a teenager
Not my kind of thing. I couldn't wait for this to be over
This is one of those albums I see all the time in people's collections, but I'd never listened to it myself until now. I definitely get the hype. That was a phenomenal record. Epitaph in particular felt transcendent
The game changed when this album came out. There's so many great songs on here from Jesus Walks to The New Workout Plan. No one was doing it like Kanye back then. Listening to this brought back so many memories. It's just a shame that the Kanye who released this is no longer the same guy
There's so many great songs on here..thats undeniable.. however some tracks felt so long, and I wasn't really vibing with the dialogue between songs
This album and a glass of wine would go so well together
First time listening to this, and it definitely feels like one of those albums where you either get it or you don't. There's something so relaxing yet sad about this
I listened to this while waiting in a reception area. It passed the time really quickly and was pretty fun :)
While there's some great songs on this, it feels like there's something missing
This just kept getting better as it went on. What an incredible voice
This felt like the same one continuous song, and the singers voice was kinda annoying
Guitar and drums on this were good but something about this album just wasn't for me
This felt so much longer than it needed to be. Maybe I would've benefitted from multiple listens. There were some good songs on here but the tracklist order made them all feel disconnected from each other
A couple stand outs but overall it felt repetitive
They don't make em like this anymore
There's some hidden gems on this for sure
