Elliott SmithI thought this was pretty boring

I FUCKING LOVE CUÍCA
Oh, this album has THAT song I wasn't sure about the first few songs, then around Gigantic I started getting into it. After Cactus it went back to just being okay, but I liked the last song
idk
👍
wowie
Not my thing. I liked some songs, but didn't really care for Sufjan's vocals. I don't see myself coming back to this album
It's no Orange Juice, but it's not bad. I found it a little boring though
I expected to not like this that much, but I mostly enjoyed it. Probably will listen again sometime
I actually liked this quite a bit. Not all the songs are bangers, but I really liked When I Get to the Border, The Title Track, We Sing Hallelujah, The Little Beggar Girl, and The Great Valerio. I thought it was a little funny that Richard and Linda each sang a song about how much the world sucks, but the End Of The Rainbow is a little ridiculous; quit telling that newborn baby its life is going to be miserable, Richard, read the room.
I don't know, this just didn't do it for me. I didn't like most of the album, but the songs that I thought were pretty good were Heroin, The Black Angel's Death Song, Tomorrow's Parties, and I'll Be Your Mirror. I might listen to more Nico, I liked her singing.
I thought this was pretty boring
I was hoping this was the album with "Love Is the Drug" on it. Either way, I mostly liked what I heard.
Better than Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome
I've always associated Coldplay with U2 for some reason, I don't know, they just remind me of each other. I also got Snow Patrol and Coldplay confused sometimes when I was young. Anyway, I prefer Coldplay to U2, and thought this was an okay album; the first half was pretty good, but then I kind of zoned out in the middle before it picked up a bit at the end.
This album is Ohio rizz /pos (I'm so sorry) A super fun album from start to finish. I need to listen to more Devo. My favorite song on this is Shrivel-Up
When I started listening to this, it sounded kind of familiar. That was because The Girl From Ipanema and most of the other songs on this album were written by Antônio Carlos Jobim (with piano played by him). I listened to one of his albums, Matita Perê, a few years ago, because I really liked the song Águas de Março. However, while I do love The Girl From Ipanema and Águas de Março, I feel like they are both songs that outshine the rest of the album they're part of. The other songs are still pretty good, but didn't stand out to me as much. Maybe that will change if I listen to this more, which I'll happily do because this music is very pleasant. P.S. go to the Wikipedia article for this album and read the fourth paragraph under the Recording and Composition section
I feel bad giving this a low score, but it just didn't do much for me. It's About That Time gets a 4 though
I thought this was alright. My favorite tracks were Put It Down and Price Tags. I also listened to the bonus tracks from the deluxe edition. I didn't like them as much as the standard edition tracks, but I'm not considering the deluxe tracks in my rating.
I liked this more than Surfer Rosa
No
Pretty solid album. Would probably be a 5 for me if not for side three and a couple songs in the first half
I like how it sounds, but I think it's too long
When I started this I thought "oh, this isn't as boring as I expected", but then it went on, and on, and on with the same shit, feeling much longer than its 44 minute runtime. Most songs were just okay, but the mediocre cover of Pennies From Heaven was disappointing, and I really didn't like Makin' Whoopee.
Pretty impressive for a hip hop album made by a second century warlord
My favourite moment in this album happens around 3:22 on I'll Hold You In My Heart
When I looked at the tracklist, I thought the song title There Goes the Fear seemed familiar, and then I instantly recognized the song when it started. Friday's Dust was also pretty cool. I really liked this album, I'll definitely listen to it again
I don't know, this just wasn't very captivating to me 5/10
I really enjoyed this! The part in Girl VII where it says a whole bunch of place names was a highlight, and Nothing Can Stop Us was my favourite track
I was really getting into this at the beginning, but that feeling died down as it went on. That was probably just me getting sleepy though. Pretty good overall
Sure does sound older than From Elvis in Memphis
I think the way she sings is kinda funny, especially in the first track, but that doesn't detract from this album at all, it just makes it more interesting.
Message In A Bottle should have had two minutes more of sending out an SOS
If this album was just the clown-y sounding bits of The Sound of Milwaukee extrapolated into about 30 or 40 minutes, I think it could have been a masterpiece
I FUCKING LOVE CUÍCA
This was my first time actually Björkin' it. I had listened to Birthday by The Sugarcubes and The Powers That B, but I never took the time to listen to any Björk albums or songs. I liked what I heard on this album, and enjoyed it even more on my second listen.
Don't try to recreate the album cover. Almost choked on my Popeye candy stick
I really liked this, but I couldn't tell when the cheering was real or added in post. I swear I heard the same whistling cheer used multiple times, which was pretty distracting.
AC/DC was my favorite band when I was about 9. I listened to a few of their albums, but this wasn't one of them. It's alright
yodelayEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE... 5/10
The non-singles didn't impress me, except I'll Be Waiting, I thought that was pretty good. The singles are mostly alright. I didn't realize Turning Tables was a single until I looked at the Wikipedia page for the album; probably my least favorite of the singles, maybe tied with Someone like You.
I did not care for Pet Sounds. It insists upon itself. Just kidding, it's really good, but it's nowhere near my favorite album ever. Fun fact: you could cut out Mike Love from the album cover and nobody would bat an eye, they'd just say "yep, that's Pet Sounds" Anyway, uhhh... my favorite tracks are Trombone Dixie, Good Vibrations, Hang On To Your Ego, and Pancreas
GÁBOR SZABÓ MENTIONED
Sometimes it sounds like Dexter from Dexter's Laboratory is singing (this is not a bad thing)
The cover of (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction is better than the Rolling Stones version (and so is Devo's cover)
Really good stuff. A couple tracks I thought were just alright, but they were still nice to listen to. I Can't Be Satisfied and Crosseyed Cat are incredible
