I really like Jack White and the style of music all of his projects have, but this is one of my least favorite albums of his discography purely due to being lighter and sappier than everything else. They do end up producing a good job at it, but if I am in the mood for music like this, I would choose a different artist who specializes in it. When I listen to The White Stripes, I want to have fun!

I don't know enough about this jazz to comment whether or not this is a good jazz album or not, but I do know that this is definitely the kind of music I was hoping to get out of starting this random album journey, and I think it's a good kickstart there! I also learned that I would prefer jazz songs with either vocals (in comparison to other records I've accidentally listened in the future), or with a bassline (adds some texture, like the second half of Bemsha Swing). Good data!

Not something I would listen to on my own as I generally don't like listening to music that I don't understand, but certainly not something that I would complain about someone else putting on - cool and calm! Only (slightly) more objective complaint I would have is the same as others have already pointed out - the sax is way too loud compared to the rest of the mix, making it fairly off-putting for a casual listen.

A classic by one of the GOATs of the genre, amazing atmosphere, great beats and irreplaceable flow. This one always makes me want to pick up a bass to play those loops!

Not my taste at all - why I appreciate the talent on display, both on vocals and the instruments (some of the guitar licks in the first few songs were very fun!), this is just not to my taste at all. A bit too light, a bit too sappy, a bit too "romance". I did genuinely like the first song - I Feel the Earth Move -, however! Probably because it was more upbeat!

The first song was suprisingly fresh, so much so that I had to do a double take on the release date of the album. Reminded me something to come out in the 2000s, not the 70s. Beyond that though, it was fairly bland pop-ish rock-ish music from that era, which could easily blend into any other genre. Doesn't really interest me.

Can't quite place where from, but I know I've heard the title track somewhere before, and always found it intriguing and fun, but never bothered to take the time to find where it's coming from to hear more like it, so I'm happy this finally forced my hand to do so! I can't say this is music that I could listen to regularly, but this perfectly fits the niche feeling I occasionally get, where I want something fun and groovy, that I haven't yet oversaturated myself with, or for some more focused sessions where lyrics would be a bit too distracting.

An eye opening experience, mostly due to past ignorance of Billy Joel - my only association with his music was Piano Man, so, when I saw him come up, I was not excited, as I figured I am sitting down for a ballad. However, this album was suprisingly upbeat and rather enjoyable - a good listen overall. On top of that, Spotify radio later autoplayed some more songs that I knew, but had never realised they were Billy Joel songs, making me feel like I should check out some more of his albums in the future!

Don't have much to say about this one, as it felt like every single song was the came. Tiny Dancer only stood out as it has been made popular through other forms of media and Indian Sunset stood out as it was sampled in a 2Pac song. Had it not been for either of these events, there would be nothing special to say about this album at all.

More would be more enjoyable as an instrumental album in my personal opinion - always fun listening to The Edge, but the vocals are not to my taste at all. Nothing in particular really stands out, besides Elevation.
