Loved the album. The music is soulful and smooth. The lyrics are powerful--would like to listen to it again to pay more attention to the message.
It was fine. I'd love hearing a church organist play this at a baseball game, but otherwise, meh. A lot of it was cover of popular songs, and honestly, I'd rather just listen to the originals (of which Booker T was likely playing).
Had never listened to this album. She has one helluva a voice, but I didn't like the songs as much as her later stuff. More jazz club vibes. Still enjoyable just to listen to her sing.
The album is fantastic. BIG's wordplay is so good. You can hear hip hop genre changing on this album. He begins with reference to old school MCs like Grand Master Flash, and BIG wraps over a beat suitable for Flash on the first song Tings Done Changed. As the album progresses, the beats become more complex, and BIG's voice shines when it's contrasted with sweeter accompanying music like the female voice on Juicy. You can tell he's finding his style on this record.
It's David Byrne. It's weird but also has a listenable quality.
The song with the same name rocks. Not an every day listen, but when you need to get amped, this album is perfect.
Great voice. Good introduction into punk--can feel some Motown influences, too.
Great album. Baba O'Reilly is the best, and while not as good, the other songs hold up.
Did not see this coming. The album was just fun to listen to--had a great sonic quality. Plus Master P on the interludes.
It's Dylan. Starts a bit more poppier, less folksy.
The music was interesting, but at the end of the day, it's jazz. I wouldn't mind listening to this at a bar or restaurant, but otherwise, meh.
Great voice. Music gets a bit repetitive. Except for Million Years Ago... nice change of pace.
Wow. That was an experience. Sounded a bit like Bowie, but not Bowie. They seem peak new wave.
Great rock album. Strong guitars. Lightning fast drums. Love it
