American Girl and Fooled Again favourites! Really cool straight-up American rock music.
Cry Baby is an obvious classic and this has my favourite JJ track on it, Me and Bobby Mc-Gee!
Some really beautiful songs on here, and Murder Mystery is just so ahead of its time!
Ball and Chain is excellent and everything about this is great!
One of the best album's I've ever heard in terms of pure song-writing. Faves are Father & Son, and Wild World, because I'm basic as fuck :)
Definitely got a bit samey but the harmonies were great and the songs were fun!
I hadn't listened to much later era Cohen and the way his voice matured and gained grit was just fantastic! Not a million miles away from Tom Waits/Iggy's radio voice
Insane that Meg’s drumming catches so much flack when this album is mixed the way it is and has Jack White all over it
I loved this more than I could have imagined! Very specific highlight was that crazily panned drum fill on Se a Cabó
A couple of harmonic choices which felt a little too jazzy for the context, but so many amazing songs on here! Highlights: Boogie On Reggae Woman and that weird noise in Bird of Beauty
This has every different kind of rock on it! Punk, psych, & roll, blues! Great fun.
I have no frame of reference for this music!
I first heard this on a slate video and now it’s one of my favourite jazz records
If the sax solo in Jungleland could be another 45 minutes please that would be great!
I'm maybe not enough of a lyrics guy to appreciate this, but the songs are well written and the harmonies are nice :)
The second half of this might be my favourite thing of Bowie's I've ever heard?
Loved this, reminds me of the folksy bits of Pink Floyd
Feeling like an angry teenage fuelled my journey to work
This is a protest rating, the album is fine but I would like Frank Ocean to be able to put Nostalgia ULTRA on streaming services and for the HHGTTG vinyl to be able to use the actual theme song not that shite Tomita-sounding (in a bad way) midi version
Forgettable, over produced, I will never think about this record again as long as I live
Still yet to be convinced of a double album’s length, but if this was edited down a fair bit it would be great!
Incredible to know that his voice could manage a whole set like that with no loss of tone! Favourite - Bring It On Home To Me
I guess I like country music now! Johnny Cash is so funny, charming and charismatic here in both song and talk, what a delight. Favourites - title track, Orange Blossom Special, and Give My Love To Rose
I love Britpop, I love Robbie, I will watch the monkey film
This guy’s really in love and pretty sad about it
A lot of potential and I'm glad, given the band's origins, to find out they're still going, although this very much has a first album feel
Worth it if only for Freebird
Yo, what if hiphop was, like, fun?? Is that anything??
If this was the only album they released that year it would still have been an achievement
lounge country isn’t a genre I know for sure exists, but I like it if it does!
I really hate the new wave vocal style but the sounds and melodies had some cool moments here
This is the first 'proper' Elvis album I've listened to and it's the closest I feel like I've come to getting it. If I'm right in my understanding this represented a change of approach for him, and it definitely works - having his vocals (excellent) atop these cool soulful instrumentals is a really refreshing take on what I view as the classic Elvis sound and it was a great listen!
Lol I wrote an essay about this in uni It's so crass and gross but pulls it off?
This album absolutely fucken rips
I like a couple of the singles but otherwise this is just not my cup of tea
The Weatherman is great fun, and I'm a sucker for some lap steel
the sax on this album absolutely FUCKS Bowie is doing everything he can and I'm loving it ++ little surprise beatles cover
Sometimes an album just needs to be fun!
The production aesthetic of this doesn't use sounds I like and I'm not a lyrics listener unless I love a record, so while I'm sure this is good it isn't really for me.
I like metal and listen to plenty of it so it’s not a genre thing, this is just so boring
Me: (not being able to under stand a single lyrics) Hell yeah, brother
Overrated but not like "bad". Just keep doing the freak outs, not trying to force those parts and actual songs together?
Nice mix of garage styles, remains cohesive and varied in a way few producer-led albums manage to by bringing in consistent guest vocalists
Not a patch on Electric Ladyland, but still fine- Hendrix is remembered as one of the best guitarists of all time for a reason!
This is viewed as one of jazz's all-time greats for a reason!
How was this their first album? Such a complete sound, so many bangers, what a treat.
What's Golden is an all-timer, and the bars and beats on the rest of this are good fun
There's a lot of "cool" on this album that doesn't entirely make up for some of the clashes in sound, or the fact that a lot of this sounds like one track played through over and over
