Not a bad start to the year. Had listened and liked before but not owned. Might purchase if the right price! Jealous guy resonates.
Surprised and pleased. Ben Folds vibes. Not heard of him at all before this I don't think so appreciated the find. Sad to hear about passing at such a young age too
That was brilliant. Starting an album with Chain of Fools like that is outrageous. What a great January pick-me-up on a cold morning. Easily 5 stars. Will purchase for my CD collection.
Never listened to a Genesis album before. It wasn't as bad as I expected, like a softer version of Zeppelin. The theme is a good one, but no songs really caught my attention.
Not my go-to, however, had shared this in class last term as a 10 year album anniversary and had grown to appreciate it a little more than I would have at face value. Happy enough to listen to it again today.
Having listened to Rumours so much, you'd have thought that the follow up would have been heard too. I didn't even really recognise any tracks. I enjoyed it, but seemed a bit bloated and not as rich a sound, or as emotionally charged as Rumours. ,3 and a half if I could.
A bit drab, not for me
A less whiny Oasis. This was actually far better than I would have expected. Have probably heard odd tracks from the group but I would listen again happily. 4 stars just about.
This was good. Then went and listened to all of Brothers in Arms too. Sultans of Swing is absolutely brilliant and worth the high rating alone. The voice ans guitar playing is just lovely.
The first album received that I actually owned, 10 days in. It is one of my favourite albums by the group, and I love the group too. An obvious 5/5 for me.
The start of this album is incredible really. It is hard to comprehend an opening 3 tracks like that. The rest of the album needs some respect too. Absolute 5/5
The found samples within were great. For fans of Endtroducing, I feel this would be liked, and that's me! The opening tracks didn't hook me in completely but it grew well. Whenever the bass hit harder, it was better!
Obviously brilliantly talented and a very pleasant listen. But I wouldn't choose to listen too a whole album of trumpet normally. But I guess that's kinda the point! Some beautiful tracks that I felt needed to be listened to in a far more focused and appreciative manner than through my phone while in the shower. Probably a 2-2.5
Some absolute classics on here and no denying that voice. But what the hell is 'makin whoopie'???!!!! Goes from a 5 star to a 4 just for that track. 'of the times' I'm sure?
Without a doubt, a beautiful voice and some powerful messages. Hard times, having heard the Roots cover was good to hear the original! I didn't actually know it was Curtis Mayfield. Strong album but no super stand out tracks. About a 2.5, but will give a 3
Uninteresting. Not caught me at all. Least favourite yet.
