Bill Evans TrioSmooth and easy listening. Highly enjoyed this and would absolutely listen again.

One of the GOATs
Found myself wanting this to end long before it did. Sad boy music
Super funky and chill. Sunday morning jams.
Not my usual style but loved it. Super enjoyable, loved all the extras to the live recordings that set it at Folsom
A classic. Not my favourite Bruce Springsteen album of all time but still such a good album.
Enjoyable and easy breezy. Not my favourite genre of music but still interesting.
Lush autumn main character vibes. These Days is a masterpiece, and such a unique voice as well.
There’s a good album in here somewhere but this was so long. Really liked the crispness of the drumming. The songs I knew were great, but Sir Psycho Sexy feels like a joke song.
Felt a bit long. Enjoyable enough - heaps of fiddle and very folky. Would probably go for more traditional folk over this if I was in the mood for that though.
Didn’t come in with any expectations and man, it was so good. Loved it - the right blend of chill vibes, a little Sade smooth sprinkled in. Would absolutely listen to it again on a warm sunny Saturday arvo.
Liked this, very melodic rock. Didn’t super grab my attention and listened to it over three sittings.
Some parts of this were nice background music. Mainly I was just waiting for it to end. Would have rather listened to Gnarls Barkley over this.
I don’t understand how this was avant garde even for its time? It felt like something my grandparents would have played on the crackly old wireless when I was a kid. Truly just fine.
I’ve only ever listened to the big singles but now I might think I might be a Queen fan???
Fun jazz album. Liked the spotlighting of the organ in the arrangements. Easy background music for work. Maybe I’m not familiar enough with jazz because it all sounded a bit the same as other things I’d heard.
An all time great album. Classic pop writing and so warm and rich. Huge fan of this.
I really liked this. Super vibey and chill, felt like it was the kind of album I’d hear playing in a small plates natural wine bar. No songs super stood out but very pleasant background music. Definitely a 3.5 album.
It was nice. Some catchy songs in there but not the best. Pleasant enough for some winter walks in the leaves.
Enjoyed this - smooth, 70s easy listening. They’re no Fleetwood Mac but it was still very good. Hotel California absolutely slaps so maybe a little all downhill from there.
I came into this with no expectations and I thoroughly enjoyed this. Very nice background music to work to, stunning vocals.
Very enjoyable. Not as good as their big singles but I still liked this - even an average Beach Boys album is still very good. Came at a very timely point as well with Brian Wilson’s passing and nice to appreciate his musical genius.
Actually loved this? This was pure cheesy 80s rock at its best - some absolutely bangers in there (did not realise Jump was Van Halen), great vocals, fun melodies. I was really surprised by how much I enjoyed this because it didn’t seem up my alley at all. Would absolutely listen to this again.
This could have been any early 2000s Brit rock album. You could’ve told me it was Arctic Monkeys and I’d believe you. Not my vibe and a bit of a snooze fest.
Very smooth and easy. Really made me want to be in 70s LA or NY. Felt like it could be the soundtrack to something - an adult film, or some kind of car chase. Good vibes.
NRG!!!! This was very fun and dancey, I liked the world music influences in there. Really transported me to the clubs of the 90s.
Not my vibe. It was pleasant enough and can respect the craftsmanship of it but didn’t grab me.
Very pleasant to work to. Don’t know what it says about it that I didn’t even notice when other music started auto-playing once it was done though. Not one of the greats, but still enjoyable and a beautiful voice.
Delicious, good soulful vibes. Took me right back to working at Pancake Parlour. Mainly covers (I think?) but such good renditions.
Bombastic and fun. Really enjoyed this album - More Than A Feeling absolutely slaps and always has, but lots of the other songs were really easy to listen to as well. Definitely a big vibe.
This took me a few songs to get into it but once I got the tone of this album I thought it was very enjoyable - felt very comedic at times and enjoyed it more as a novelty with some good backing music. Thought this would be a 2 star album but has surprised me.
I knew this was an important album coming into listening to it. I really liked it - I must admit it’s maybe not fully my thing, but I really appreciated the craftsmanship of it and the musical journey it took me on. Very well produced and put together.
Perfect soundtrack to a perfect movie. Eerie, ethereal, lush - completely gorgeous and strikes the perfect tone for the subject matter. Air are truly the masters of their genre.
Actively waiting for this to end. Love My Way is such a classic and I don’t mind some new wave so I was hoping for a really strong album but this disappointed me. Weak vocals, uninteresting music.
Hated this. Boring, mopey, sad boy music that felt repetitive and cannot get past the vocals. Kept looking at how long I had left to listen to this and wishing it would end sooner. I don’t get the hype at all, and there was very little redeeming about this - absolutely skippable.
My second Willie Nelson album and very enjoyable. Still not my genre but this felt smoother than the other one and was very pleasant - maybe less overtly country? Very pleasant to listen to.
This was a solid listen. Do I think it was revolutionary? No. Is it something I’m probably going to listen to again? Also no. But for an hour it was a pleasant soundtrack to my work day.
I’ve always suspected I wasn’t a Bob Dylan fan and this has confirmed it. Way too long, all the songs were muddling together and just not my vibe. Felt like I was forcing myself to listen to this for completeness of the listening challenge I’d set myself.
Wow. Blown away by how beautiful and soulful this was. I came into this wanting to hear new music that I could fall in love with and this was exactly that - gorgeous lush instrumentation, smooth vocals, such a beautiful flow and journey throughout the album. One that I will absolutely come back to again and again.
