I feel like I’ve really never heard Something but I really like that track. Maxwells silver hammer is so so very disturbing but also somehow still palatable. … and I stopped takes notes after that I guess. The album is great I can’t believe I’ve never actually listened through it. It may not be my exact taste in music but I liked it still and I can absolutely see how these are the greats.

It wasn’t super interesting to me but ofc the beats great cause it wouldn’t be Bob Marley if they weren’t

I was not expecting as much harmonica as I was generously showered with in this album. To be blunt, I didn’t like the way he sang 80% of the time, like he’s almost talk singing but I get that it’s a choice and I just don’t enjoy listening to that choice. Lyrics and metaphors were great though, and shout out to the line: “I’m helpless like a rich man’s child,” it did make me giggle. My favorite songs were visions of Johanna, one of us must know, and most likely you go your way. Those three were legitimately very good and I did enjoy listening to them though the album as a whole I don’t think I’d ever listen to for entertainment value but I appreciate it’s old timey, poetic, harmonica filled vibe.

The amount of style change throughout this album is amazing, I like that it shows his ability to create different vibes for different songs and he doesn’t just follow a formula, however it made the album as a whole a little confusing for me. It doesn’t feel very cohesive at times. The contrast of sweet sad lyrics and dark background and outro music in broken drum made it a favorite for me. And I have to go with the masses on girl, it’s a banger. My other highlight was missing, I really like the lyrics of this one. Unfortunately as much as I loved go it alone it was ruined for me by the amount of nah nah’s in the song, just feels like cheap chorus writing. He also did this in E-pro, and with yeah’s and lala’s in rental car which I didn’t love. Overall because my enjoyment listening to this album it’s probably 4 stars but truly as an album and not based on individual songs I liked it’d be a 3 because I don’t think its super put together to be an album.

There were many times in the album I was impressed by the writing and lyrics, but something internally in me just had a hard time taking a yelling man deeply seriously and earnestly as anything more than angry. Which is the reason I generally avoid metal anyways, but regardless I really liked a lot of it artistically because of the lyricism or musical riffs, I just wouldn’t listen for entertainment (such as holier than thou). Although overall I did like it more than I expected to. One favorite has got to be the unforgiven because it dealt with my issue with many of the other songs that there’s little to no variation in singing tone, and when he sings in the chorus of this song, along with a great guitar instrumental made it legitimately enjoyable for me.

First of all, listening to Immigrant Song alone in my car instead of with a bunch of middle aged white men yelling along was a weird experience. It was overall more enjoyable than I expected. Lots and lots of drawn out, somewhat uninteresting, drum and guitar instrumentals in the first half of the album but what’s to be expected from classic hard rock. But then Tangerine hit and I forgot I was listening to the same album. From there the rest of the album was great in my opinion and I still liked somethings from the first part of the album but I wouldn’t go back to it because it wasn’t really interesting to me.

It was certainly a vibe. I loved the saxophones throughout the entire album and would absolutely turn it on if I’m looking for a chill, relaxing, schmexy saxophone vibe. But it didn’t overall grasp my interest cause I didn’t find all the lyricism amazing throughout the album. Definitely high quality stuff though, the lyrics just aren’t the focus, and generally very enjoyable.

This is possibly the most bland pop I’ve ever listened to. None of the songs stood out and it sounds like something you’d maybe put in the background of a birthday party while you’re not paying attention to the music at all. They didn’t do anything especially bad in the album but also nothing actually good. So there’s that.

This was a good vibe. Very groovy stuff, but I don’t think I’d really go listen to it again just for fun. Song to song there wasn’t a ton of variation it felt like but that did make a cohesive album, just not a ton of stand out songs.

I’m mostly rating this out of naivety because I think I’d need to listen to this at least ten more times to be able to phrase intelligent thoughts about it. This album is so dense and they put forth a lot of meaning in one album. The music was good and everything felt like it was a heightened emotion. It was deeply angry and sad (in a good way I think). I will say by the end I was a little sick of the amount of opening voice memos but I think I could get over that.

It was a cool ambiance, loved the blues sounds. But it was hard to really appreciate or connect to without understanding anything being sung, I’m sure if I did it’d be a higher rating so this is just based on my listening experience. My favorite was N’jarou. Unfortunately I don’t see myself ever coming back to this though.

I can’t believe I’ve never listened to this before. Bop after bop. He has so many good love songs specifically in this album which is in theme in a beautiful way with the album title. Sir duke is unbeatable and I wish pastime paradise wasn’t such a meme cause it’s also amazing.

At best boring, at worst irritating. The guy kinda icks me out, voice and lyrics. Also I’m not a fan of the string orchestral vibes which some of these songs had.

I had a good time, until it quite literally put me to sleep. And whether that’s on my sleep deprivation or the album, idk. The whole thing felt very very long

I was given very high expectations, which maybe it does deserve but as of two listens it’s not quite there for me. I like how he sounds honestly, I think some of the songs I could get into except that the amount of lyrics that use b**ch or just generally talk about women’s bodies as objects in a lot of the songs make it not very listenable for me. I get that apparently it’s like supposed to be not Kendrick’s thoughts but idk his impression of other people or culture or something but I don’t know where to make that distinction so that frustrated me. I appreciate what I’ve heard his commentary is supposed to be, I just don’t understand where to take his word at face value and where not to. I could see myself looking back on this and feeling completely different but this is where I’m at now.

Dude. I had a great time. Don’t really remember any specific parts of the album even, but I know it was fun.

Nothing crazy, it felt like pretty basic alt rock. I think there could be some songs that grow on me and I listen to more over time but the album as a whole doesn’t seem to offer much.

After the first one I was hooked, though I think that was also the best track of the album so it set crazy expectations for the rest. It was still real good stuff.

I truly just don’t have like any feelings about this album.

I’m so annoyed that my draft didn’t save. But pretty much I’m glad this was finally a female artist. It’s been like 17 albums and this is the first one. Actually except the gogos but I wasn’t a fan of that. She sounds a lot like dido at times but plus some twang. Quality music.

I definitely expected to hate it more. I disliked it and will never go back to it but some parts were fine and chillin.

I fear that during the first half of this album I was, dare I say, a little sick of the guitar instrumentals. The last few songs were much better in my opinion and I might go back to some.

I think got to get you into my life is my favorite Beatles song. The whole album sparked good nostalgia vibes tho. I think I prefer abbey road but still and easy five stars

Not a fan of how dance felt like monster mash or something for a second there. But maybe that’s just me. Other than that very very disappointing moment it was chill. There were times I was really into it and prob a little more time where I just didn’t care. I liked the last three tracks the most, and by far back to life was my favorite.

Amazing folk classics. I will be relistening many a time. I also didn’t realize one of us cannot be wrong was a cover so that was exciting. Such a good song. His lyricism feels like a journal of different characters the whole time.

Shout out to the album cover. That's the best part. The fact that 8/10 of the similar artists section on Apple Music also have black and white group band profile pics that look the exact same as theirs says a lot about how unique and special this music is. I honestly struggled really hard finding a song I’d be happy having in my best of playlist. Just boring and loud.

(I wrote this review for this album and then accidentally left it on Def Leppard Hysteria instead so…) Shout out to the album cover. That's the best part.

It definitely felt long. Some of the songs were bops and felt like they were meant to be included, others were kinda just more of the same stuff. While I don’t think it was bad, it really isn’t my taste in music.

I’m mostly disappointed that I didn’t hate it. Sure it was pretty basic and most of the songs sounded pottery similar, but it was real easy to listen to. I wish they incorporated some more unique sounds, and I didn’t really pay attention to the lyrics so I can’t speak on that. My favorites were yellow and everything’s not lost.

I really liked golden years and some other songs later in the album I remember liking. But idk why the opening track was a million years long. I have no problem with long songs but that one was long for no reason so it just made it less good.

Honestly I had a good time listening. I could see myself relistening to most of album multiple times. I did phase out in the middle for a few songs, but I thought it was all solid stuff, not too crazy or anything tho.

Hey I might just be feeling generous today. But I had a great time listening to this album. I gotta be honest I am kinda sick of the British rock but also they did a good job and for that I think it deserves a five. Of the many British rock/alt albums it’s one worth listening I think. There are several songs I definitely need to go back to cause I didn’t get them but I still had fun listening so.

I just did not vibe with this style of singing. There were times I’d be reading along with the lyrics and be like oh I almost like this stuff and then the way it’s sung just kind of ruined it for me. But also I think whether you like someone’s voice/how they sing is really just taste so it doesn’t lose it a ton of points for me it just isn’t something I’ll choose to go back to.

Musically, vibes are immaculate. His voice is like… grainy? In the best way that goes along really well with the brass. (After reading the wiki it’s interesting how I disliked the booker T & the M.G.s album we had but adding his voice complimented it really well and I was a fan of this). Respect made me kinda uncomfortable. But then it was redeemed immediately after with change gonna come. His cover of my girl was absolutely great. Pretty much the rest of the album I just drifted a bit, would be real nice to fall asleep to tho.

This is a fun experimental album. Jack-ass was my favorite and I might have fallen asleep at the end, but I’m not gonna blame that on the album. It’s cool to see how many different vibes beck can hit on after listening to this and guero. Although between the two I’d have to say I prefer guero.

I’d say it beat expectations cause I was worried about liking their singing style. Which it isn’t my favorite but it didn’t ruin the album for me. I didn’t really love any of the music itself though. And all the repetition in the lyrics made that also generally uninteresting for me. I think after more listens I could better appreciate it but at this moment in time after the first listen I don’t feel it.

This is maybe the easiest five I’ve given so far. This is completely my taster in music. The man’s voice is so nice, and everything wraps together into a beautifully mentally ill package. I can absolutely see how Phoebe Bridger’s had pulled from his music for inspiration. I’m also realizing how much of the music I listen to probably has allusions to these songs that I’ve just never noticed. This entire album will quickly be integrated into my regular listening I’m sure.
