4.5 stars suuuuch good bops on this one. such a pleasant listen and im better for it!
i get why people like this. i feel like i can do anything when i listen! wouldn’t reach for it super often, but good stuff.
this album goes crazy. i love how the songs are either 2 and a half minutes or like 6 minutes. i would give this a 4.5 if i could. melds genres so well and has some really impressive geetar
so incredible so smooth so varied
i have long been a “beatles are overrated” kind of guy but i loved this listen so much. it makes me understand more of it. really good songwriting and just super fun to listen to and instrumentally stellar. nice one! ya got me
impossible to be in a bad mood while listening to this!
absolute no skip album. takes me through the full range of human emotion. rip marc ❤️
dunking on thatcher is lit. i respect the dedication and don’t think i’ll listen to it a ton but ive also been soooo bob dylan pilled its tough!
it really is that good
thank god for weird guys from ohio
this is what happens when you tell men repeatedly that they’re interesting. incredibly uninspired, no song had any business being 5+ minutes
good ol blues music!!!! so musically impressive. go off
genuinely no skip! a classic for a reason! juicy, skillfully done bass lines in every song. really found myself relishing those. these guys just know how to write a catchy, timeless tune
i love his voice so much…wow! such strong songwriting. this whole thing is a delight to listen to. i wish it was easier to find but i respect it! one of my favorite finds so far. i’m definitely going to explore his discography.
4.5 stars if i could! feels like a sunny day it’s a triumph to be able to enjoy this again
lucy said that a lot of this sounds like the part of a 90s family movie where the chimp/dog/animal they’ve met starts doing a bunch of crazy tricks on the ski slope/court/skate ramp/computer
so, so fun to listen to. these guys know how to do a theme. i love the instrumentals in this and noticed them more than i had in previous albums of theirs
4.5 stars! JUST GOOD STUFF!
4.5 stars! god this guy has a good voice. smoooooth rock but can also shred and isn’t afraid to get goofy
i’m gonna be so honest that i didn’t listen to all of it but hope to at some point. it’s just such a long album and feels not particularly inspired like so much of their other stuff does
4.5 stars suuuuch good bops on this one. such a pleasant listen and im better for it!
i really wanted to like this, and i do somewhat, but there’s so many other 90s bands i prefer: Helium, Kelly Deal 6000, Swirlies being my favorites. this just doesn’t scratch the same itch for me, but i get its merit and i love to see a cool girl singing
this, more than any other album i’ve gotten so far, will absolutely be in my rotation of stuff i regularly listen to. i love it
truly no skip, absolutely masterful, really fun to listen to. never gets boring
i have heard this so many times against my will. this is what happens, in my opinion, when an annoying theater guy becomes too famous. i just really find his style of music so grating, i don’t care for his voice, i don’t like his storytelling. it is just decisively not for me
3.5 stars i like the banger tracks the best by far!
so significant and well done and awesome 4.5
i love this album. it has such strong songs, and it’s such a good first half. the last part gets a little like yeah we get it. but i love it!
some really fun bops! honestly so soured for me by working retail at a place that played this incessantly, but i still have love and respect for it!
dudes absolutely rock. this is awesome
sounds like a U2 album, unfortunately. a flop from a musician i really do admire. not musically interesting and the lyrics felt so redundant and vaguely empty.
this contains so many of the beatles songs i’ve clowned on before. i really did enjoy sgt pepper’s, but this one just sounds like the result of what it was: a bunch of adult men arguing. some good songs, for sure. while my guitar gently weeps is a certified timeless banger, and i understand why it wowed people. the entirety of the album is not for me and it’s too long. sorry!
i did not need to hear this before i die! the grating vocals, backed by a 4-octaves higher shriek, followed by the same 3 guitar chords, are so boring to me. i do not understand the appeal.
a really fun album! definitely psychedelic leaning. i really appreciated that each song sounded distinctly different.
her voice is perfect. a beautiful late 80s time capsule
this is such a good album and i’m so glad i heard it before i die! so lush and varied and good
3.5 stars — this is a fun one, not one i think i’ll reach for a ton but glad to have listened to it
rating this as what it is for me — i know this is historically, musically so important and it’s good! i just don’t think i’ll listen again
Little Green is a downright perfect song and always moves me to tears. 💚 i love the first half of this album, and the last song is so powerful. it starts to all blend together at some points, but this is definitely my favorite Joni album. 4.35 if i could 💙
incredible voice and musically interesting. the bangers were my favorites, a few too many ballads for my taste but man is he good!
2.5 stars rounding down on my official review because i want to send a message that WHY the hell would i need to listen to this before i die? this is such a spectacularly mid album. Stills is a great guitarist, and when that gets to shine the songs are good, but the vocals, the inexplicable choir, the songwriting, it’s all just meh to me. not something i needed to listen to.
this album is stunning front to back, and i really think The Band deserves the level of notoriety given to The Beatles. such a defining and influential band.
