It’s not something I could listen to regularly, but it is good for what it is. It sounds like a lot of Cuban music I’ve heard, but maybe it’s the originator? It sounds like it was a huge influence on a lot of that music at the time coming to prominence. I respect it for what it is.
Super interesting, nice to see older Irish folk punk. I’d listen a few times, 4 stars
Really good beats, definitely enjoyed, listening to it, appreciate the messages of the song. And the throwback to Chappelle show, definitely want to save it on Spotify and listen again.
The hits are great, you and I is a pretty solid ballad, some of the other songs get a little bit too repetitive for me. I’ll come back to the major songs often on, probably not the album is a hole. Maybe it’s because it’s an older album, Does not quite grab me as much as the others. But still worth a listen.
Amazing album, good extermination and mix of rock, blues, jazz and other influences. Added to the mix.
It was alright, maybe I wasn’t a product of the time. His voice is a bit too monotonous for me, not very inspired riffs, I like a bit more colour to the tracks. 2/5 a few tracks were decent,
Really solid album, I could definitely appreciate this one for the time and place. What I understand it’s very influential, first if it’s kind of the time, the beats in the grooves are really catchy. Strong political message, pretty easy to digest, a few small dips. I would say a 4.75 out of five, but I’ll round up.
Really solid album, didn’t realize it woudl be so rock based. I knew you aughta know and a few other hits but thoroughly enjoyed the whole album overall, I’d give it a listen a few more times.
Solid album, a lot more diverse than I assumed based off only hearing hallelujah. Loved it. Too bad the guy only had the one album.
Solid band, definitely like a lot of the beats. Ran a bit too long for my taste, but I can see the appeal, I’m thinking 4 to 5. I like stuff with a little bit more melody to it if that’s the right word? But this one’s pretty solid. Listening to it one more time in the car made it grow on me a bit, I’ll leave it at four stars because it’s a bit too long for me.
This one is pretty solid. I like it for what it is, I understand the experimental part of it, maybe it’s because I’m not around when it came out? I think it would’ve had more of an impact back in 1981 if I heard it then. Good beats, I appreciate the incorporation of world music, I think this is a one and done for me, though. Two out of five.
I’ve listened to this before, I already knew that it would be a banger. Always love listening to it again, it’s just so catchy. A little bit long, it’s still worth it
I can see it being a predecessor to a lot of grunge, and it seems to be one of the first dynamics albums. It didn’t grip me, the pixies never really have. But I like a few songs!
This album is awesome, I like it a lot better than the other earlier Stevie Wonder album. I listen to. Feels a little bit more cohesive, more of a groove, less monotonous and repetitive. I’m thinking five out of five.
I need to go back and finish it, didn’t quite get the full-time, but I like the vibe for what it is. A lot of good songs, I’ll give it a relist at some point, not sure if I’ll go back to it all the time though. I think a solid three out of five.
Fantastic album, absolutely love jazz if I don’t listen to it all the time. Duke Ellington is really really good, his group is so tight. It’s a bit long at two hours and 11 minutes, with a lot of those filler talking in between, but I think it was important for me to listen to this.
The album was good for what it was, it didn’t really stand out to me? I like the beach boys vibe, it might make more sense in the context of the music at the time. A lot of the songs are very similar, felt like classic beach/surf music, Pop during the 60s. Three out of five, I don’t think I’ll necessarily go back to it.
Honestly, not a fan, not sure why this one was on the list. Given Its the list of 1000 albums you should listen to before you die, I’m gonna give it a one out of five. Not for me.
I thought it was interesting, very Beatles and Beach boy reminiscent. A lot of Baroque pop, strange that it came out in 1999. Not sure if it was anything that stood out for me, but I thought it was pretty decent. Two out of five seems fair for this list
Super solid album, really loved most of it. Glad I finally listened to this song, from the last few I listened to werent my favorites. The hits were pretty amazing on this one, and it’s got a really good flow, might have to give it one more listen often on. Solid 4 to 5 on this one.
Super weird album, I like it’s for what it was though. Glad I listened to it once, it’s interesting to hear the voodoo psychedelic style, I think three out of five is good.
Love this kind of music, so upbeat and happy sounding. When I get these I love them, I need to find the modern equivalent.
Really weird album, I can see where this influenced the singers like Sia, some of them with crazy vocal ranges and artistic styles. Solid four out of five, if I heard it come on I wouldn’t be upset.
It’s a good soundtrack for what it is, honestly not my style. I appreciate the work and everything that went into it, but I wouldn’t go out of my way to listen to it again? Not sure what makes it different than any other soundtrack. Two out of five.
