Perfect kitchen music. You could have this on in the background of anything and it would flow, or just listen to it alone & get totally lost for 45 minutes.
Listened to the whole album while looking after a cat this morning, may be the most at peace I’ve ever been. Huge fan.
A bit too sad & a bit too country for me on the whole. On the other hand, there’s some good instrumental stuff here & every time the music gets a pulse to it the album gets better. Two songs added to 1001 playlist, one song added to my playlist
This one’s a 5. I’ll take any opportunity to listen to it with purpose though My experience here is tainted, but this is the good sad. Like five eulogies at an Irish funeral in an album. A farewell too soon, but more importantly an appreciation for the struggle, a celebration of the good times & a triumphant send off to close it out. One song added to my playlist, whole album’s in the 1001 playlist - even though that butchers the design of the album itself.
Wasn’t expecting to have to commit a full hour and a half this early on. Would’ve been very funny for Lewis to wait a few days and have connor and I start with this one. That said, this is music history here and the vibe shift between discs is brilliant - very funny to hear an artist get more into their own music 45 minutes into an album. I like the harmonica. They should’ve kept more of the boos in. Nothing added to my playlist, 6 added to the 1001 playlist
Awesome album, hugely experimental - just feels like people in the studio saying “hey let’s try this out” and switching up the vibe every song. I can appreciate a lot of different styles of music so this is my ideal kind of album where it’s obviously just really creative people having fun and playing around to see what sticks for them. Eastwood is the highlight, but things like Punk, Double Bass (which is just a Bond game menu theme) & Latin Simone are so cool to include where it’s clearly just them playing around with that different kinds of music and seeing what they can do. Four songs added to my playlist, ten songs added to the 1001 playlist
Who d’ya prafor… oasees or blot?? Sorry father, it’s pulp for me. Strong opening for the album through to Disco 2000, then it softens up maybe a little too much until halfway through feelingcalledlove. That’ll work for some people though so I can’t fault them. I spy still rules. 3 songs added to my playlist, 7 added to the 1001 playlist
Immigrant song is forever tainted for me because of that one guy who would get up, sing & dance along to it whenever it played during a screening of Thor Ragnarok I was at in the dominion. 4 songs added to my playlist, 6 added to the 1001 playlist.
This one isn’t for me, there’s a handful of good songs here & I can appreciate some of the more bluesy tones & riffs to it. Streets of Bakersfield is cool, as a Spanish fusion song, very Latin vibe to the accordion there, in concept. One more name starts strong - give me more of the Buster Scruggs singing cowboy type noise. Maybe I’d like this more if I got drunk, watched crazy heart & wrote a country song again.
Oh boy, this makes for an aggressive start to a day of you listen to it on a morning walk. Mellows out pretty quickly once you settle into it, you’ve just got to let this one take you for a ride. Like instrumental slam poetry. There’s so much in here that I’m certain there’s at least one ‘I love this’ and ‘I hate this’ moment for everyone listening to it, like the musical equivalent of one of those game boy games with 100 different NES games on it. Absolutely love this, an insane album for one group to be able to come up with, made even more insane for being able to apparently record it all in one 6 hour sitting. 2 songs added to my playlist, 5 added to the 1001 playlist
Immediate hell yes from me. My favourite Crizzo coded electronic group. Imagine the vibes of hearing this blasted through a big ass cathedral. Shout out to Pimpf for being Final Fantasy villain music in the middle of all this. Piano building up throughout until it’s just the final flash keys at the end rules.
