Some really good moments. Love the title track. Rock flute is unique, but also a bit meh.
Nearly perfect album. I don't know that they've ever topped this debut. Fav song has got to be "Black."
Greatest band of all time. Unbelievable debut album.
I absolutely hate the album artwork and the title track. Gross sentimentality. But . . . the rest of the album is not bad. Standouts for me are: Traveling Man, Early Morning Breeze, and Here I Am. All three of these songs sound more like Dylan’s Nashville Skyline, and less like Gatlinburg. Also, Dolly has a bit too much vibrato in her voice for my tastes.
Great album. Quintessential 90s. I would rank Californication about this album as my favorite RHCP album, but it's close. Also Under the Bridge is untouchable.
I was expecting jazz. The funk caught me off guard. But this album is a jam. Love it.
This is not typically my sort of thing. But this is definitely a vibe. And no one can deny Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God). But honestly, the whole album is good, moody, unique. I'm between 4 and 5. Probably going to land on 4 because I'm not sure it's something I could go back to all the time.
Cool vibe. Listened through a couple times. Standouts for me: Bonny, Appetite, When Love Breaks Down.
At times, brilliant, but still not Beatles worthy. Interesting to listen to how Lennon every. The sound is sort of schizophrenic and can’t seem to maintain a direction.
I think I'm going 5 on this one. Probably actually more like 4.5 for me. But I'm a sucker for late 60's hippie music. Joplin is the embodiment of that age. Such a vibe.
Solid album. Big hits.
I’ve never really been a Prince guy. But I think I get it.
Ok. Really dig this the more I listen. LA Punk!
I don’t hate this music, but I also don’t see anything special about it. I struggle to understand why it’s in this list.
I thought this was going to be a 4, but I'm opting for a 3. The second half of the album is a bit to boring for me. That being said, I do like the band and the sound, just probably not for a whole album's worth of material.
Just really not my style. But they're talented for sure.
Love this album.
