Well, it was pretty nice to hear. Loose, fun enough, yeah, I liked that one quite a bit.
Not that much into jazz, it's always a bit too slow and meandering for my tastes but this one was nice and pretty enough, I understand why it has the reputation it has.
Crushing, sad, depressing, angry, relentless, metallic, pounding... this album hasn't left me since I was 16-17 and still doesn't!
Some songs were pretty forgettable and blues is not exactly the music genre that moves me the most, frankly (plus, Clapton-as-a-person makes me feel a bit icked out)... but most of this album was a pretty good time.
The beginning was a bit slow, but when it reached "Like Someone In Love", it really started to show its best qualities, especially with the more ambient, slow stuff. Pretty cool!
That fly, fo'sure, was super.
Nah, for real, it was a funky enough time, honestly.
The skeet of lil bill in which he says Presley would have fucked his own mom if given the chance will stay in my head more often than this album.
No, seriously, there's some nice songs but I really don't see what is special with this one.
Maybe the first full country album I've listened to. Honestly, a good introduction to the genre proper.
(also, OK, the album's sound really was exactly like the title, OK, nice)
This yee do be hawing, ain't it right, fellas?
Despite having listened to a lot of singles from the band since my childhood, I never felt that compelled to listen to a full album of them. Fortunately, I've finally fixed that and, honestly, this bittersweet melancholy all across the songs alone makes it a very good listen!
The repetitiveness of all of it means that the songs live or die on the strength of the main loops and beats.
Fortunately, a lot of them are quite strong.
Yeah, it kind of makes me want to have sex with someone. Good job, Marv'.
Didn't thought this album would be such a blast of energy and good melodies (especially since Hüsker Dü, so far, didn't gave me a lasting impression) but damn, Mould and Co. really delivered with this one!
The hotel was a bit old and decrepit and the bed was not the most comfortable ever, but the music was nice and the food was good.
I realize that I have some troubles getting into music where the instrumentals are not that prominent, but that still wasn't bad at all. Even good.
Oh, and I like the tragicomedy aspect of "One Last Dance".
Not every song is a classic (no, I'm not that hot on "Devil in a New Dress") and reminiscing about it makes harder to swallow the fact that Kanye is less than a shadow of who he used to be now... but it's still packed with bangers and one of the albums that introduced me to the endless possibilities offered by sampling. So... yeah, classic album.
More like "Welcome to the Sleepydome"!
Already listened to before and I wish I had this as the next album instead of FGTH.
So prettyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy... :D
Very eighties in sound and very dated, but frankly, it still manages to pull off more than one good song!
Forgot to rate it yesterday. Anyway, yeah, it was more accessible than I thought it would be, considering who Beefheart is, but that wasn't a flaw of it, far from it!
Both dreamy & acidic, some songs meander a bit but I enjoyed it.
I've heard this album when I was 24 years old. And what I loved most, he had so much soul...
(no, for real, putting aside the fact that mentions of Dave Chappelle aged horribly and that I wished Kanye kept doing great music instead of trying so hard to offend everybody, this is a very, very good rap album!)
I should really ask people who know more than me about country for recs. I dunno, it's nice but a bit repetitive.
A bunch of pretty nice songs, but ultimately, the album is heavily weighed down by the fact that it's way too damn long and not every song is a winner, far from it.
A pretty long album but, unlike "Blood Sugar Sex Magik", there's a way stricter quality control here and the songs are generally pleasant and nice and breezy and good to listen to, with enough subtle variations in the sounds to keep you interested. Very good!
Good ol' classic butt-rock about money and girls and cars and sex and rawk'n'rawl... but frankly, with the energy a bunch of those songs have, I won't complain at all about it!
A very pleasant ride from beginning to end!
The second half is definitely stronger than the first but, overall, an album who is sweet, breezy, full of endless charm and honestly, I wouldn't have minded one or two more tracks. Bravo, Mr. Wonder. Bra-vo.
Yeah, that one was alright. Not a lot else to say, rn.
A very good piece of psych-hard and a proof that sometimes, less is more when it comes to the number of tracks on your album!
My first time listening to the Dead Kennedys (and a first dive into hardcore punk in general) and, even if not all the songs clicked with me, there's a couple of all-time bangers on it!
The first part is classic, but the second part is just a snoozefest (with the exception of some tracks).
Not mind-blowing, but a consistently good shoegaze-style album that was a very nice experience to listen to!
Nice and dancey. Also, did I just heard a song that sampled a part of "Amen, Brother" who WASN'T the Amen Break for the first time?
It's the first album who made me openly think that "woaw, all of this was too short!"... but still, it had a lot of energy and catchy melodies.
I don't think this is the best pop album I've ever listened to but I certainly understand why people feel this way about it.
Oh, and MJ & Paul are funny together in "The Girl Is Mine".
Lots of those songs enter by one ear and go out by the other but it's still pleasant while it lasts.
I liked this one more than other old-timey punk albums, I'll say.
The title of this comp' is a lie, I have no idea why a compilation is on this list and Pelle's voice kind of annoys me... but there's still a solid lot of rockers here so yeah, it was good.
A record that I'm listening to less than I used to but it was a formative one for me and for a very good reason. Energetic, loud, wacky... what else can I say, it's fucking SOAD.
It's pretty. Just that, pretty.
I don't know if some Valentine's Day melancholy suddenly enhanced it but, God, this is probably one of the most beautiful albums I've ever listened to. Like, damn.
Also, "Cherry-Coloured Funk" is one of the best intros to any album ever.
This one was good, I guess.
Nicer than a bunch of jazz albums I've listened to before, I would say.
The singles are all-timers and "Policy of Truth" is among my fav songs, low-key.
I would probably love this album as a whole a lot more if half the songs weren't SO. GOD. DAMN. LONG.
Often switches between being beautiful and peaceful and being boring.
I thought this would be more low-key but it was actually pretty charming to hear! Especially with the harmonies and all.
An extremely tight and energetic album. That brand of classic hard rock is quite my jam, not gonna lie.
Extremely rocking and grooving, which is a quality that I don't think we see a lot in those old hard-rock albums. Ian Gillan's screams on "Child of Time" are highly satisfying!
I was a bit intimidated to tackle on this album... and then, it gave me a big warm hug and a lot of killer songs showcasing how adventurous and diverse the band was for its time and everything was lovely once again.
Yes, I did indeed enjoyed myself, thank you.
*snores loudly except for the occasional pretty song*
My third-fav album from K-Dot.
That's the kind of alt-rock I like, to put it simply.
This one was long and a bit arduous... but there was so much good stuff in there that it was worth it at the end. The first disc was my fav, personally.
Pretty run-of-the-mill classic rock but when it bangs and goes hard, it's still very enjoyable to hear!
Festive and pretty at the same time without becoming a giant soup of notes and noises. Pretty good!
Maybe I should listen to more modern country. The more classic type is nice but I never manage to love it completely, which is frustrating.
Kind of repetitive after a while but far from being bad.
I really like Smith's brand of indie folk/rock and this one isn't a classic for nothing!
Generally, I don't relisten to albums I've listened to before... but for this one, doing it was a very good idea. So damn beautiful...
Damn. This album is a little more than 50 minutes and yet, it felt like only 30. Is it Waits' voice? Is it the instrumentals? Is it the sonic palette and diversity?
Nah, it's all of this at the same time.
This doesn't do it at 100% for me but still, with the bossa-nova elements, I feel that this helps it sticking more than other old jazz albums I've listened to before.
Not as crazy as "Shake Your Rump" seemed to have promised but just for showing what sampling could allow everyone to do, I respect the hell out of this album.
Yeah, no, I can't be bothered with that (and I listen to albums made by shitheads a lot).
That's pretty chill here, yo.
Maybe I don't understand shit about the story of this album but this production and those beats... damn. Like, woaw. Like, bravo.
Absolutely pretty and "I Am Trying To Break Your Heart" is still one of the best album openers, ever.
This is certainly eighties hard rock, alright!
Yeah, that's funky enough.
After so much great music in just that album, I'm like... damn. Stevie. What a man.
This was a nice album to listen to and the sort of folk music that makes me feel good while it's on. Tho, I prefer "Pink Moon" a little more.
Cheesy, but in a pretty fun and cool way.
Energetic, full of various sounds clashing harmoniously with each other and it never stops sounding very good. Also, holy shit, Cedric Bixler-Zavala is already really close to join the list of my favourite singers ever.
Beautiful, gorgeous-sounding, sad and bittersweet in one of the best ways possible but still warm and friendly, too. This album sounds like you have a big hug while crying.
This one was kind of boring, honestly. Not bad and competently made, but just boring.
Yeah, nah. I have already some troubles with getting into jazz but this? Like, it isn't offensive to my ears but it definitely goes on one of them and comes out of the other.
The rapping is a bit stiff and some beats are too skeletal for my liking but when it hits, it kind of hits hard, ngl.
Don't know if it's better than "Zen Arcade" or not. Still liked it a bit.
Switches between giving you a real good slice of world music and being a bit like wallpaper but far from bad!
A chill rap record in one of the best ways.
Extremely funky but it doesn't always pay off. Good album, though.
Extremely tight in its tracklist and rocking as hell!
Well, that was actually a very fun discovery to start the week!
I think I slightly prefer "Blonde" to this one but no matter what's your favourite, you're always eating good with Ol' Frankie.
Yeah, that's good pop. A bit one-note, but pleasant while it lasts.
A perfect example of a band that shouldn't be just known for their singles. Very good!
The album took a bit of time before starting but once it really got it on, it showed me again why genre-blurring is the best thing you can do in art, ever.
If "hot" and "buttered" mean "welcoming" and "engaging" and "pretty", well, this soul is lots of that!
Yeah, I guess that as one of my first attempts at listening to more Spanish-flavoured music, it's kind of good.
Repetitive at times, but some songs still manage to be banging enough!
Sometimes, there's musicians who remind you by their sheer talent why they make you feel feelings between "absolute respect" and "Oh, my God, do I have a crush?". Janelle is absolutely in this category for me.
The singles are absolute bangers, that's like saying the sun is shining and the sky is blue. But beyond that, thanks to the excellent beats and 50's charisma in full-force, the album is just really damn fun!
Yeah, Massive Attack has no dud in their discography, so far.
I guess I can like plastic a lot, in the right circumstances.
When you listen to it now, it's far from being as subversive as it was in 1977 (plus, Lydon is an idiot, nowadays) but still, sometimes, a good dose of hate and vitriol feels good.
A bit old-timey but charming nonetheless!
I already listened to other National albums and found them good but this one... I don't know what it is but man, some of the songs on it are just special.
Some good country-rock songs on it. Not much else to say.
Nice album, but not something I'll keep in mind.
Well-produced and well-performed, but too much boring songs on it for me to consider it very good, let alone a classic.
