Fantastic album - wonderful melodies, a saccharine and plaintive voice driving you mad but comforting you as well, confusingly
Would be great for working out. Probably not a casual listener for me, but it’s a great album in technical/musical terms, love the anti-war and government sentiment as well
Fun, experimental, weird, lovely. A grand old time, all hail Bowie
More variety in the album then the three songs I know so well
Full of energy and dissidence, some felt too 90’s to really enjoy, but some of it really holds up
Saying Aretha is incredible is like saying water is wet, but my first time through a full album of hers and I’m damn near speechless
Listened to this album more than 40/50 times growing up, unmatched for its time and its purpose
Really lovely album. Flows well, has a bouncy moody ambience, and has interesting things to say as well as some silly things. Overall a great listen!
Immaculate vibes, truly. One part nostalgia and one part undiscovered bliss
Melancholic with a satiating twang. Easy listening, shimmering vocals, and some pretty picking, though maybe not a daily listen for me
Wonderful heartfelt album, really feels like experiencing a piece of a man’s soul, a journey into his hurt and psychic trauma. Great playing on every track, and a deep rich voice
Weird as hell, I love it. Not something to just add to playlists, but a lil masterpiece of a thing. Contains a lot of divergent energies, but still somehow cohesive. Can get a bit strung out in places
Fun style. Feels like some guys with blues foundations wanted to follow the Beastie Boys
Classic album. Way more soul in this one than expected. A lovely time spent
Bits of delight laced throughout, but something cheesy or false pervades. Overall, not really my jam
Fun bouncy album, a bit too much on the pop side of things for me, but some of the songs are a ton of fun. Lead singer’s voice is fantastic and super versatile
Bright energy, lots of positivity and fortitude. A mainly relaxing listen
Very lovely playing, lots of different modes encompassed in the performance, the shifts and accelerations to create differing sentiments is stunning. A great performance to listen to while working
A classic - full of bangers, soul, and lovely melodies. Mick shooting lightning and Keith shooting heroin
Such a fun album. Like Wutang if they did acid. Back and forth from laid back to in your face, not a bad vibe in sight
Really good album, a type of metal I can totally get with. Not a casual listen for me, but definitely great for the gym
Classic album - didn’t know about this original version, but what a lovely surprise it is
Haunting and spooktacular. Ghosts of melodies and paths widning off into the dark forrest
Fantastic album - wonderful melodies, a saccharine and plaintive voice driving you mad but comforting you as well, confusingly
A nice album - desolate ballads that don’t seem to live up to their potential mostly, dissonance without a purpose or something like that
Lovely music, but as good as the melodies are and as beautiful/poetic as the writing is, it kinda gets trapped in one lane, needs more ingredients or energies to feel more complete as a work of art. Fantastic, nonetheless
More soul than I expected, a lot of interesting ideas and some mundane ideas interestingly expressed, love it
Sparkling with positivity and bodacious vibes, a great mood album. Built for a summer drive through the countryside
Classic. The inchoate rock that would propel the blossoming of a movement. So sick, but so much repetition within songs and on the album. A good time tho
Powerful and fun - lighter than Led Zeppelin 1, but still a lot of the soul, energy, and beauty of it.
About what I expected, musically good and full of life. But missing something integral to what I enjoy in music, can’t quite say what
Cute, but not as good as actual Beach Boys stuff, kinda just a bummer
They’re not beating the cheesy allegations, but this is a fun time.
Vivacious, provocative, energetic. Good dirty fun
Musically impressive (I think?) but would just never listen to this
Interesting album, some of the songs are nice, but it doesn’t quite click for me. Maybe someday
Good album, surprising in its different tones, deeply felt emotions expressed
A good solid album of resistance and folkloric lovesongs. Good for a hootenanny or two
Fun, summery, a bit too much of the same, but cohesive in that same way
As good as I remember, a masterpiece of beach love and longing
Wonderful stuff, for nostalgia and all the great times spent with this album, def a 5
Kinda felt like watered down Foo Fighters/RHCP - not for me, maybe
Pretty good, lots of energy, variation springing off the songs, but not quite my jam
Fantastic! Not a daily listener, but for certain moods and vibes, seems like it’d be undefeated
Good fun, high energy, bouncy and interesting
Nicht fur mich, ich hasse diese album gern
