Back To Black
Amy WinehouseTears Dry On Their Own with the Aint No Mountain High Enough backing is nice and new to my ears. Unless I'm mixing that up with some other sort of jingle.

Not quite sure how this saved wrong. The homegrown Method Man version was a lot of fun. And his rant is insane. And so many classic lines/samples!
What samples "Patterns" ? It's something hip-hop. But also the song ofc reminds me of the What We Do In The Shadows title sequence. It's all sooooo famous and also almost too fey.
This one hits for my adolescence. Impressive how much this album has permeated into my brain over time, because I've only rarely listened it from tip to tail.
Is that real lightning on the album cover? Two songs in and I already knew Tuesday's Gone was a shredder, but the first track was fun too--reverse drums kickin in. Also are there 7 dudes in the band?
Booming. Ethereal. This thing ate my last review even though I saved it, I thought. Listened to this like 5 times through. Very good Easter music.
They're shredding a bit, it's funky. I'm fine with it. Sultry, almost beachy? I can see 80s strutting to this. Glad Chrissie Hynde is still around.
Gone too fast, a little jangly, but man some funny corkers here. Girlfriend In A Coma and Unhappy Birthday. Legendary. What's a Strangeway?
Crazy that I already knew this one in full! I'm a fan.
Shreds. I like the barking ruff ruffery of the vocals here.
Driving grinding charging. Is it the drums? And good heavens Craig Finn owes his career so hard.
Dreamy, but not captivating exactly. Some weird unnerving ones too, which is funky. Some rock, some orchestra, a bit of the psyche of the times.
Great fun throughout. Sweeping and cool. Sensual!
Looking Through You whips pretty hard. Drive My Car. How is "In My Life" the most-listened on Spotify?! I mean the keys solo near the end sounds like Daft Punk or Porter Robinson could've done it, so that was cool, but I don't feel like that song is the standout here. "Run For Your Life" is an upsetting weird ending!
Whips. So glad I got to hear "The Chauffeur" -- seems to be a bit of a cult classic. Who did the cover art? Why is it SO nail salon? How is it PEAK NAIL SALON
Horny-ass album! I dig it. Makes me want to revisit. Think it made the GF uncomfortable. But I love the normie horn stories!
For the entirety of my life until now, I've thought she was singing "Change change chaaaaange... Change in you" or something like that. And then I saw the song's title and realized what was going on. Being a human is amazing. "Ain't No Way" had an organ, not a theramin, right? What's that high pitch? Is that singing? Is that a voice? Is that a human voice?
Faint reminiscence here.... Funky. Feels multi-genre'd. But it's not. Wonder if my dad played it around the house. Not going to make an impression on me.
Turns out he wrote and performed like 5 songs on this album to which I've known the chorus lyrics for most of my life, so that's nice to discover. Good stuff, Harry! Funny but serious! Sooooo pop!
Stellar, powerful, sensual. Yes.
Jangly and gothic, a little bit of The Cure, a little punk, a lot of groaning sweetly, I went to refer to the "China stylings" of a song and then saw it was titled "China Girl," so it's all making sense to me now.
BRUUUUUUUUUUUCE doin his Bruce thing. Doesn't get me fist-pumping. But I dig it well enough.
Shreds, own this CD, but had only really listened to IBIATCL, the classic single. I'm into Makin Out and Givin' Up, those are actually two of my fave activities anyway.
Yeah I mean... Not doing too much. It's nice. The title song begins with cows mooing. That's cool. Maybe I should give it my first two stars? That it's not exceeding any expectations and is instead blending into the background?
I think I dig High Tide Low Tide, that's a new one to me. Otherwise this just kinda washes over. It's kind, it's chill, it's warm, it's lilting.
Cutely bizarre. Catchy enough. Never really broke through.
Fun enough. Sweeping. A little samey throughout. Hard to believe this is coke music.
It was weird. It was weird to hear that song near the beginning, about the girl or the lady. Not Ladyland and not Voodoo Chile. Little Miss Strange! It sounds like a Beatles song. And Jimi's bandmates were British. Did some learning here. I like how it's 75min long! Not many people doing that back then.
Yeah, I mean. Millennial classic. So sad, so wild, so parade-y, so fey. Horns and orchestra. Andrew Bird always wanted but could never. Just a fun time all the way through.
This is totally new to me and it's fun. I dig the big hit, "This Is The Day," but I'm not really sure why. I just knew when I heard that it was the big one from this album, before I even looked at the stream counts. Early 80s is cool for this.
This one is worse than their debut. There's no funk or hard edge. Consider me disappointed, I guess I missed this one when it released. But Jamie xx does better music than this solo. I don't dislike it! But I was excited and find myself bummed.
Did nothing in particular for me. Was funky and calm. I'm probably not in a good headspace. Cat died on Saturday. But I did listen to it all the way through!
R&B disco, pretty standard, it was nice to hear the We Are Family remixes. Not blowing me away but happy to have had the chance. Helped me focus a bit.
A little bit of funk from the 70s, kinda jazzy, sounded maybe a bit more ahead of its time than I expected. Very clean sounding.
God this was such a way for white middle schoolers and black middle schoolers to bond. The mark of a new era in hip hop. That's not meant to diminish this album. Once I first heard when my dad played it for me.
Well it's the soundtrack of my childhood. Big Bobby Z fans in our household. These are all nice enough. I can't be blown away. I regret that so many of these albums just wash over me!
