Not usually big on live albums but damn what a night that must've been. That man could make a guitar sing and a stone get up and groove. Casual misogyny never went down so smooth.
This rating makes me feel like such a ⬜. The intro pulled me in like we were old friends vibing in the basement. Then we just... never left the basement. His voice is pure sex, but Pyramids was the first time I noticed any changeup. Why see the world when you've got the beach? If I were high or rolling this be an easy 6. But sober? I stand by my rating
Velvet voice, gutter mouth. Smoky jazz with a hangover and story to match
The anti-Amy Winehouse: all substance, no soul. The album screams truth from a concrete bunker. Admirable, but not loveable. "One" is a banger though
I think he might want to get it on
Fantastic
Pleasant, polished, and eerily artificial. Parachutes is the sound of background music giving up
Great stuff. I wish I liked his voice better. Also, far be it from me to give notes to Neil Young, but it felt a touch overproduced at times
Not generally a country boy but I enjoyed the hell out of this album. Gorgeous vocals, rich storytelling, an almost neighborly production feel. Sublime. How have I never heard of Emmylou Harris before?
Catchy choruses and well tempered effects. I wasn't blown away by anything but an enjoyable listen overall
Generic retro pop punk. Not bad, just bland. This was a song that didn't need to be an album. They had some funky bass lines though
We get it. You’re poly. The honkin and tonkin was fun but the lines were insufferable. Have your toxic relationships but please leave us barflies in peace. https://open.spotify.com/track/4ACS8SnOb3WDwtzNTxKMUB?si=d398337010bc4969
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y9j3heYZAk8 ^ This gag in album form. Fast and bulbous indeed.
Plastic cheese. This album tastes like a Norman Rockwell and reminds me why the British Invasion had to happen
I love Bob Dylan but remember why I rarely finish his albums. There are only so many harmonica solos a person can take
I may not love the trail they were blazing but can't deny were building something new. Cheesy as it is, Detroit Rock City is a fun song
I feel like a hypocrite rating this so high. The album was objectively monotonous, but every time the music pushed me out the lyrics pulled me back in. Also definitely got shades of The National
"If sex were an olympic sport we would've won the gold." Sure Jan. Just crack a window this time, we can smell the theater room from Algebra
Harpsichords and yazz flute? Sign me up
This album can’t decide what it wants to be. Are they a jug band? Blues? Easy listening? Jazz? It doesn’t do any of them badly, but without nailing any of them it feels overwrought and rudderless
"12 renditions of 'Bust a Move' but make them progressively worse" -Brit Hop Rickety Cricket
I enjoyed the interwoven sitar features. It broke the album up a little and added a little spice. The flow was a little scattered at times, but overall a good listen
Just enough variation to keep it palatable, but the longer it goes the heavier it drags. Four songs? Four stars. Full album? The sludge becomes a slog
It's a vibe
I’m not going to justify this one. I just really like the album
Dylanesque sounds carried by straightforward but soulful lyrics. Not something I'd typically seek out but I appreciated it while it was on
Fine but I'm not really the target audience here.
No one man should have all that power
