John Barleycorn Must Die
TrafficEnjoyed a lot. Cool sound
Enjoyed a lot. Cool sound
No strong feelings on this. Enjoyable listen but I've kind of already forgotten it
Good but kinda dry
Finest exploration of the human ego put to sound
Not quite my thing but the creativity and execution are undeniable. Easy Money and the closer slapped
Lyrics as thoughtful as good poetry
Finest exploration of the human ego put to sound
Genre defining sound
Best album ever? Less universal lyrics than Dark Side of the Moon but an echoey, gooey, spacey sound that delivers on every listen
Atmospheric and intimate
edgy vignettes of incomprehensible garbage
Bland songwriting, derivative and dated production
Covers that add a new dimension to their originals delivered in a beautiful raw and vulnerable way
Peak glam rock
Excellent opener, wish the rest was more its vibe. Good listen
Innovative and well executed production, braggadocios lyrics that for the most part work
Competently made album, but doesn’t make me feel anything
A few great tracks, more than a few not great tracks
Impeccable recording and mixing for a live album. Banger too.
Bursting with creativity
Very creative and well produced but grating on my ears
Good jazz. Definitely not much of a jazz guy.
Some cool musical ideas that aren't as well fleshed out as they could be.
Kinda samey throughout
Virtually perfect pop composition and an incredible voice
Not entirely without merit but I would probably pay to not have to listen again
Excellently crafted. Did not expect the Jackass song out of nowhere
Beautiful song writing with dark vibey atmosphere
Competent entry into a genre I don’t find particularly compelling
Overly decedent and a bit one note
Modern psych rock classic. Excellent use of melody. Unfortunately a couple tracks bordering on dud status keep it out of 5 territory
Opener was pretty interesting but the rest of the tracks are meh
If 60s surf rockers grew up into corporate middle managers. And it slaps
Goes absurdly hard
Not my thing, but if it were, I feel like this would be very good
Title track was epic in the non cringe meaning of the term. B-side tracks are memorable and well produced. EZ4RUSH
Love Forever is s tier. Great fun modern era rock n roll
Good but kinda dry
King of pop. Production hasn’t aged the best. Dirty Diana was a sleeper banger
Fun jazz record
My grandparents’ grandparents probably loved this
A five course meal for the ears
May as well be a picture of Janis Joplin next to “aura” in the dictionary
This album basically invented a genre I very much enjoy, but I just never like it as much as I want to
Enjoyed this a lot more than I expected to
Found to be almost grating to the ear
First time hearing and it’s clearly a landmark recording. Cash’s delivery is unparalleled and the unique recording location cements its legacy.
Excellent album, creative musical ideas throughout
Very finely crafted if a little too technically complex in parts for me
Conjured images of being a teen in 90s London in my head. Based for that reason alone.
A bit too weird for me, found some songs grating to listen to.
The novelty wore off pretty quickly for me
ended up enjoying more than I initially thought I would.
Had heard the name but never any of his music. Highly enjoyable
Good songwriting but the vocal production is questionable. Ultimately found it a bit boring and forgettable
Instrumentally it was a 4. Then there was the vocals
Title track is legendary. Thought the rest was a little uneven
Fun listen but nothing really stood out or captured my attention
Struggled to understand the method behind the madness
Generic and soulless. But even worse than that, boring.
Not quite my thing but the creativity and execution are undeniable. Easy Money and the closer slapped
Enjoyable but forgettable
Excellent use of psychedelia, good musical ideas executed well, and lots of rewarding sonic layers. Going to put this in the rotation
Good variety throughout, all well written and interesting songs. Perfect Day? More like Perfect Song. What a banger.
Cool unique sound but a lot of the tracks feel like they don’t go anywhere
Requiring an exam and license to operate a synthesizer may not be the worst thing ever. The one hit on the album is a song I’ve always thought was a bit irritating and the rest was worse
I’m tired boss
Wonderful album ayyyyyyyy
This thing absolutely cooks start to finish
Enjoyed a lot more than I expected. Fun guitar work throughout
Very difficult to find enjoyment in this album past a couple of songs. Don't get it. Almost want to give it a 1 because of how much I despised listening to it
Fun listen and pretty groundbreaking at the time I imagine
Proto indie hipster bullshit
Inoffensive but uninteresting
Starts and ends kinda slow but Thriller through PYT are S-tier bangers
Fun listen in a museum exhibit type of way. Probably won’t revisit
Excellent album, had my attention the entire time. Had never even heard of these guys but looking forward to exploring more
A more experimental follow up to Rumors which I've never actually listened to in full. A first listen feels interesting if a little bloated, but also very dense. Going to need some follow up sessions to fully digest this one.
Enjoyed a lot. Cool sound
Not sure if this combination of these genres is it
Wore out its welcome pretty quickly for me
Top tier songwriting and sublime melodies throughout
Straight up just did not enjoy this much. It's not awful but seems aggressively generic
Not really my cup of tea but sounded a fair bit ahead of its time
Lovely vocals and recording
Another one that sounds pretty ahead of its time. Not a sound I enjoy however
Incredible guitar work but semi-forgettable songwriting
This is the kind of album that would usually send me into an expletive laden rant, but somehow it works for me
I think I heard the whole thing in the first 30 seconds
No strong feelings on this. Enjoyable listen but I've kind of already forgotten it
Like this a lot more than the last Nirvana offering. Still not personally my thing, but hard to find fault with this one.
Much more dynamic than I expected
completely ridiculous album that somehow works
