Kind Of Blue
Miles Davisitโs pretty relaxing but not what i needed at 3pm on a cold day in my cubicle
itโs pretty relaxing but not what i needed at 3pm on a cold day in my cubicle
i just know these guys have long hair
freaky on a tuesday morning
iโm not a huge jazz guy but this was chill
not my favourite talking heads album, but still pretty good. iโd say strong 3/light 4 because it drags on a bit in the middle imo
a good album for a gloomy day at school
early 2000s sad man? donโt mind if i do ๐
it was aight but i prob wonโt be back listening to this anytime soon
not really doin it for me, but i can appreciate that itโs like technically good
bangers
groovy
nice background music, i like
how was this overstimulating and boring at the same time? almost sounded like damon albarn collabed with a swarm of adderall-fueled locusts
magical
i like the whomst but i canโt with this one
fantastic
bangers
an extremely chill and relaxing vibe for my drive home ๐งโโ๏ธ๐งโโ๏ธ๐งโโ๏ธ
this was fun but got lowkey repetitive towards the end and im not a big trumpet guy myself but i can see why mr. davis is a big deal
enjoyable ๐
iโm sorry sheryl.. itโs like the chicks but boneless, like shania but without the blind support on a national basis, like nickelback if chad kroger was a female country musician
pretty but not mr simonโs finest work imo
call me corny but i <3 bruce springsteen he simply never misses
i like ๐
after looking into it i realized that george michael only came out nearly a DECADE after this album, which is surprising to me because in retrospect this whole album, the yearning, the themes of freedom and feeling empty inside/insecure, it was all over the place. anyways i miss you george michael you were a legend gone too soon MUAH
chill album with some bangers on there but i am legally not allowed to give this above a 3 because my dad has secret one-sided beef with bono
this album feels like being 17 and insane again, absolute bangers, absolutely cathartic, absolutely narrates every teenage girlโs journey through heartache, uncomfortable growth, and acceptance of self. love u lorde muah. p.s. the album backstory here is hella messy and everyone should see the iconic powerpoint (linked here for your convenience: https://dfta.show/files/Lorde%20and%20Jack%20Antonoff%20-.pptx%20(2).pdf)
is it a hot take if i say itโs a cheap knockoff of 70s rock? ffs this is a 2002 album not 1971
i liked it ๐
hmmm so many thoughts about this one.. i understand that the doors r a classic and influential band but this is the thrid(?) doors album out of <200 songs total? must we listen to every single doors album? but then again every single doors album is still preferable to some of this other stuff so i really canโt complain too much. ending the album with a 12-minute song called the end was funny but 12 minutes long smh. โkam on beybi layt may fayurโ -my dad
what iโve learned from this process so far is that songs from the pre-streaming era are all either 90 seconds long, or 23 minutes, with absolutely no other options in between. although i do enjoy the change of pace with this one, i do feel like this would be more enjoyable to listen to live, in a musty dancefloor somewhere and probably under the influence. sitting in the concrete prison listening to afrobeats makes me more depressed than i was initially, as it reminds me of how i could be spending my young fun years out somewhere warm, instead of on burnaby mountain where it is currently 9 degrees and raining, and there is homework to be done. every tippy tap of the drum solo was tippy tapping directly onto my sad tired skull.
much love & respect to 80s punk but somehow this was boring. not bad, just something my highschool chemistry teacher would listen to.
blitzkrieg แตแตแต! some old guy would fight me for even thinking this but the ramones were and still are undeniably brat like wdym โi wanna beeee your bOyFriEnDโ while wearing a whole crop top on the cover photo. i love the 70s. i love leather jackets and shitty haircuts. live laugh love ramones.
iโm quaking in my boots because why does 7 songs last ONE HOUR AND EIGHTEEN MINUTES - my goldfish attention span simply cannot handle this insanity. right off the bat the guitar intro is really great and i love a boop doop bassline always. very bluesy. i forgot i was listening to it and snapped into an alternate cowboy timeline when i finally came back into consciousness. technically good but i am too sleepy to appreciate this.
coworker music lol
good album for a sunny day, but iโm always a sucker for this kind of vibe. as a side note, itโs hard to believe it came out in 2003 AND that theyโre irish, i would have genuinely thought it was from a 70s/80s west coast band (think phish & that whole scene). i had to go back and check it wasnโt like a rerelease or remaster or something because they have that vibe down so convincingly.
kinda good background music, gave me enough motivation to pack for my trip but prob wouldnโt listen to it on the daily
i <3 u blondie
it was chill
love the talking heads in general but this isnโt my favourite album of theirs so meh
so many lowk nostalgic songs i didnโt even know was them
hereโs an opinion entirely unrelated to the album itself: can hollywood PLEASE STOP with the biopics of singers/bands who are still alive oh my god. first it was elton john, then queen (rip freddie mercury but queen is still out and about performing with adam lambert last i checked) then it was bob dylan and now itโs the mf beatles???? with barry keoghan as ringo starr???????? stop the madness i canโt take this anymore bob dylan is alive and well nobody needed timothee chalamet crooning for a whole movie and i stand by this opinion so come at me
at first i was going to give it a 2 because it was a tough listen at times BUT on second thought the storyline was interesting and it was original. however i do think we can blame this guy for the birth of hobo johnson
i found this whole thing pretty irritating tbh and iโm glad i donโt have to listen to it again
i wish i was a millennial (ew) just so i could experience being in uni 2007-2012
cowboy done boring and corny
cowboy done right
i feel like at the time it would have been shocking but now so many years later it comes off as unnecessarily horny and edgy but itโs not really cool or aspirational in any way today. i donโt regret listening to it though
i see a bad moooon rising
i want to like it but i really just donโt
this was a vibe
12 yr old me thought that this is what cool ppl listen to, and she may have been right
my chips r hot
corny, annoying, terrible ad libs, random instrumental outro track, and yet i lowkey like it
country music starter pack: jesus, alcoholism, and killing your wife
wtf they lied to me not a single scream was scrumpt. ragequitting this album rn
very fun and funky,, i like it. reminds me of the old music my parents play when they get nostalgic except if we were from brazil and not bosnia. however it reminds me of this dude I used to go out with way back in first year, which was an overall strange time in my life so -1 point.
iโm so cheesed that kanye crashed out bc this album has some bangers and i do see his overarching theme here, BUT minus stars for being a raging nazi and minus stars for being terrible towards women, though i do have to give him 1 extra star because of the aforementioned bangers and the fact that this album went triple platinum in my car when i first got my license, sorry :/
at first i really thought i wasnโt going to like this one, just based on the first two tracks, but after that it kinda grew on me. 3.5 stars bc i like it but not lovee it
at first glance, it sounds like what would happen if the beatles tried to go punk. iโm not complaining or anything but itโs weird to me the juxtaposition of the relatively low-quality production and vocals and then all of a sudden they hit the cleanest little classic rock guitar solo like what is going on here
i like van halen yay this is top tier dad music
i literally love this album but what else is new. violence? check. femmes? check. a whiny man singing? chchcheck
credit where credit is due, the man can work a crowd
dramatic much? not sure what to make of the non-singing singing, but this reminds me of like chess the musical or something
wasnโt bad but not really my vibe and too sleepy for this tuesday afternoon
iโm not complaining it was nice
generic but not bad
i donโt think i can overstate how much i love the aggressively london accent - genuinely sounds like if oliver! was set to punk instead of whatever the showtunes genre is called. good stuff though i like it
I didnโt know what this was going to be before i started listening, and i honestly canโt say i was disappointed. not my usual jam but a cool change of pace
interesting background noise at times but maybe too generic/nothing stood out to me
good stuff, deep purple was on the same compilation cd re: physical graffiti so also familiar
my dad used to have kashmir burned onto a classic rock compilation cd in the car, so it is nostalgic, but, as always my complaint is that itโs sooooo long
music for aspiring private investigators
i audibly laughed at โ~glockenspiel~ *ding ding ding*โ because it caught me so off guard, and then the goblin soundtrack reallllly threw me off but iโm not mad at it. not my usual jam but i actually found it moderately enjoyable as background music while pretending to be a pro hacker at work
mr simon ily
at first i was like hรผ the heck are these guys? i like em tho it was 1 hour and 9 minutes of solid background music but perhaps nothing more than that
unfortunately i really enjoy music made by men with shitty haircuts. in the gallagher brothers' defense, its not their fault every guitar-playing male manipulator decided to learn wonderwall on acoustic guitar for the sole purpose of terrorizing a captive audience of their potential love interests and unwitting house party guests, so although it isssss overplayed asf and deeply annoying, they could not possibly have foreseen this outcome in 1995 (did i physically recoil when the song came on? of course i did!). some moderate bangers on this one, bonus points for a manchester accent of course because i miss being out there soooooo bad. someday you fiiiiind me caught beneath the landsliiiiiiiiide in a champagne supernova in the skyyyyyyyyyyyyy
100 years from now, historians will ask themselves when kanye started losing his mind - and i will rise from the grave holding a copy of this album. yeezus is undeniably where it all started going downhill. 1 star and unlike college dropout, i don't even feel bad about it either.
ykw i didn't like this as much as I should, just based on whatever else I listen to. I didn't hate it per se but I don't think I'll be coming back to this one. dare I say it was a touch gimmicky? outrageous I know coming from ME but maybe if I discovered this 10 years ago and formed an emotional attachment to it then, this would be a very different review but alas here we are.
relaxing i like it
i want to hurt the op of the "secretary rock" rating. it's a modern revival of the folksy political commentary of the anti-vietnam war era. let the woman be softspoken in expressing her discontent goddamn it. behind the wall hits like a ton of bricks with just the vocals and no instrumental. i think if i had a million dollars by the barenaked ladies is a cheapo rip off of mountains o things lol. she was a college student dreaming of social and political change with a guitar and a dream, and i love her for it.
decently vibey but had me googling โdid george harrison convert to hinduismโ
pretty good
i think this is an attempt at yโallternative but it really just wasnโt hitting today tbh
*sad cowboy emoji*
itโs like if role model and timothee chalamet as bob dylan had a baby and that baby was a sad millennial. that said, it was chill but entirely forgettable
iโve never really listened to bob marley before this but i like it ๐
ok like i GET that itโs a social commentary blah blah concept album blah blah american south and whatever but my god i did not need to hear a white dude say the n word 46 times within the first three minutes of this album. the whole thing just sounded like other songs but with as many slurs/insults crammed in as humanly possible. pack it up, randy
yup
i like the funky little giraffe on the album cover but the music was mildly boring
yay joni
not bad, just a little too sleepy for my taste but my dad probably would have liked this if he spoke english in 1985
oh morrissey the old complainer that you are
i love her giant poofy hair! this the type of music that makes me wish i was sitting on the couch in a bathrobe with the windows wide open and a glass of wine
as the very wise dude from wallows/13 reasons why once said: โshe was only 17.. why are girls in songs always 17?โ i didnโt know these guys r scottish from the like 2 songs of theirs that get radio play! now aside from the fun accents and cliche opening lines etc, i do suppose they have some pretty catchy bass lines and fun guitar riffs, but overall i donโt think i actually enjoyed this very much or at all tbh. itโs like a cross between early arctic monkeys and the strokes, and idk if itโs just because iโm in a bad mood because thereโs no ac in the office or because iโm already overly emotionally attached to the aforementioned bands or what. perhaps i revisit this one again when iโm not being boiled alive, but itโs a no from me today dawg. p.s. the og franz ferdinand was assassinated in my city so itโs only fitting that i assassinate them in my 1001 albums ratings
itโs cool and all but for the record this made me zone out and stare at a tree out the window for 20 mins, or maybe it was the fact that i had a huge lunch idk
idk if this is a hot take but it was just a tiiinnnyyy bit sappy for me
couldnโt get thru it iโm sorry
gotta love the beach boys
bangers
probably bc i just listened to bb king immediately followed by miles davis but iโm respectfully bored i need a complete vibe change
started off fun but then the novelty wore off
i, too, am in love with my car
oh siouxsie you really are the blueprint
iโve been in love with this album since i was like 13
i didnโt hate it but i didnโt love it either, minus 1 point for sounding like an amalgamation of a million things that already exist, plus incestuous undertones on the drowners
anthony kiedis is altogether too out of pocket but there r some bangers on this album for sure
iโve been on a bit of an 80โs vibe these days soooo i was happy to see this on here, since iโve never actually listened to this album start to finish. theyโre undeniably weird as hell and i like it. p.s. 40 mins is scientifically the best album length and you canโt change my mind. itโs long enough to set a vibe, but short enough to hold your (my) attention. i actually hate it when the album is so long that by the time it ends i forget what happened at the beginning p.p.s. i <3 cowbell
rare good live album
respectfully,,,, 2 songs 38 mins is crazy work. otherwise it was chill
jesus if i wanted to listen to ballads with a biiiig side of melancholia i would have just put on whitney houston immediately followed by the smiths but this was not it
hooting and hollering or yapping over sweet home alabama. thereโs no in between and both suck. even eileen canโt save them from this hot mess.
idc how viral that one song is, the whole album is literally unbearable to me im sorry
itโs pretty good but prob not going to become my new go-to and thatโs okay
god bless punk
oops i like this
hereโs a hot take: just bc an album is from the 80s and has one (1) song on it thatโs vaguely recognizable bc it gets intermittent radio play on throwback stations does NOT make said album a must listen. now that being said, if i were training an ai model to generate an 80s album, this one WOULD be a must listen
the last living rose melody reminds me a lot of that one song thatโs viral these days, could not tell you the name of it for the life of me. anyways looking at the overall review lots of ppl seem to have an issue with this being a woman making pretentious music but i think women should be MORE pretentious if anything. pj is cool has always been cool and will always be cool thanks you and good night
strooooong 4 but im not in a 5 mood today, absolutely emotionally attached to this album though i cannot lie
i like bob dylan but i donโt like live albums in general unfortunately
what an odd album. individual songs were nice and I wonder why they didnโt get more long-term commercial popularity (possibly overshadowed by rumours which came out right before this album?), but the album as a whole was very disjoint, with everyone seemingly on a totally different wavelength. if this were another band iโd probably be harsher on them, but this is an album I can see myself listening to more in the future
very bizarre both lyrically and stylistically but quickly gets boring because all 53 minutes of it sound exactly the same to me. the sauce was not that special i canโt lie
mfw i drove my chevy to the levee but the levee was actually full of anti-war sentiment
pretty good, but first half of the album was better imo
i love it when they alternate words between the two of them itโs so much fun
i love this album so much it makes me feel like iโm flying
considering the fact that this came out in 1968 i would say they were ahead of the curve in terms of weird noise music. didnโt know what to expect really going into this but i wasnโt disappointed tbh. maybe a hot take but i actually liked this, not exactly the type of music youโd put on for a chill vibe while studying but i take loud and weird over boring and forgettable any day
fuckin majestic
will this convince me to start listening to reggae on the regular? probably not BUT i did enjoy this thoroughly
bangers
man i love the 80s
not really my jam tbh and it felt a little long but it was cool at times
itโs not really my jam normally but i liked it
beep boop i am a robot p.s. quality seconds is a banger i canโt even lie
i really wish i liked this more but its so dull imo itโs putting me to sleep and not in a good way
riders on the storm reminds me of being a kid listening to the car radio with my dad but otherwise the rest of the album wasnโt so much my jam
rest in peace ozzy :(
canโt believe this is how i find out that steely dan is actually two dudes and neither of them is even called dan. i feel betrayed.
this would have been higher bc there are some certified bops on here BUTTTT the middle part of lady cab driver was a tough listen on this monday morning and made me cringe (although the guitar solo that immediately followed was v cool)
ok but kinda forgettable imo
i think on second thought i donโt actually like leonard cohen
this albummm this album is so nostalgic to me. not only are the vibes creepy dancy and otherwise immaculate but somebody told me reminds me of playing badminton in gym class when it would always come on the radio, all these things that iโve done reminds me of the time i was at a house party back in the day and the guy i was madly in love with (older, drove a mustang, extremely cool) asked โhey do you like the killersโ and put it on (i swooned), and mr brightside has been and always will be an absolute white girl anthem, and of course i canโt forget about the fact that they sparked my decade long obsession with mormonism and other nice religious groups (idk either bruh) i love u brandon flowers i love the killers yes. however this is actually not my favourite album of theirs (gasp) so itโs a 4.5 but ill round up because why not
v interesting
