Uninspired punk. Black flag did it better. Nothing remarkable about the guitars, drums, vocals. Pretty low energy, would never seek this out.

Pretty good funky blues lofi, low production with spoken word lyrics at times. Political and speaking about the social struggle of the times. Final track Love to the People is the highlight and enjoyed some of the disco suggested by the algorithm after.

Good easy listening music. Title track Let's Stay Together is the hit and the best song on the album. A little bit boring at times throughout the album but good feel like a hangout as opposed to some of the overproduced. Strong finish on final track

Mostly drum fill instrumentals which are fun with some record scratching and hip hop remix elements. You could listen to this while walking through a park or city any time. Losing interest through the album as there are repetitive and tedious parts. The sense of humor in the first few tracks falls off as it goes on. Upon 2nd listen to some of these tracks it's actually pretty low effort and crappy.

Classic rock at it's finest. Great guitar and drums, rocking out hard live, loud, and just partying on. Blues influence but bigger and louder. A lot of hard work put into making these songs but yet they don't take themselves too seriously on stage, joking around. Starts strong, finishes strong.

As classic as it gets. The strings section permeating throughout some of these songs gives such a pleasant and warm feeling like home or in front of a campfire. So ornate and elegant but not hyper or rushed. Middle part is very folk song like. Ends with just good rock and roll instrumentals. Approachable and easy to re-listen to over and over again.

Not a fan of the repeating samples from old time songs just with reverb attached. Repetitive. There are some good beats and piano work on the more original work. I recall fondly Southside and Bodyrock when they came out. This could have been an LP instead and they could have cut a lot of this low effort stuff on here.

GOAT musician. Some of the downtempo songs are trying a little too hard to be sexy but dude's the man. I take it this album in total is downtempo compared to his others. Masterful tone setting, the best to ever do it, wonderful harmonies and each instrument is pronounced and doing something interesting always. Short with no bullshit filler. Intended to be replayed and danced to. Doo wop and gospel. American. Listened to it twice today. Any modern artist could easily cover one of these and make a shit ton of money.

Brazilian disco and a lot of ballads. Not really something I can sink my teeth into. Could be an anime outro.

While Pet Sounds wrote the book on melody and harmony, this didn't hit the same. Some of these songs are so Charmin soft they could be kid's songs. If I could some the album up in 2 words it would have been, "lacks complexity". The highlight is the song Student Demonstration Time leaning into the ragtime blues style but other artists at this time did it so much better.

Classic. Many memorable and singable songs that are iconic and ageless. Can replayed over and over and over again. They say this was the last good Metallica album. It's the one with the hits on it.

Got that hillbilly metal feel, high and hazy energy. Like a drug frenzied bar fight. Great guitar solos in every track. Themes of risky lifestyle, wild life. Let the music do the talking with very simple lyrics. It's sloppy and loud and grinding on but that's the point. Not intended for deep thinking, just a hard rock album. It's all kind of one song, no differentiation. While Metallica has moments where they switch it up on say, Fade to Black or Nothing Else Matters, Motorhead just kind of runs together as one speed metal performance. Ozzy showed range too.

What a delight. Great jam session I am excited to listen to again more closely. Loved Jeff's Boogie the most. It's not as hard as Led Zeppelin but you can hear Page's influence.

Album really picks up in the 2nd half, you can hear the people whistling through the last song. Great musical talent.

When I think of the 80s I think of this abandonment of melody, spoken word stuff.

Nothing cool about Paul Simon

Y'know I could almost get into the diary of a privileged young girl and the difficulty of loving and being loved but there is practically nothing going on musically here. A little basic synth kit beat behind it but this is almost all just the singing and maybe a little 1st year guitar or piano behind it. If this was going for lofi it doesn't have the rhythm or groove really. I'm not a huge Taylor Swift fan but what does Lorde do that Taylor Swift can't do 10x better?

Deliberately annoying. There are parts where it almost comes together but it's just like, why???

The high energy songs are all front loaded but otherwise this is fantastic. Big booming drums and overloaded guitars, bluesy vocals. Looked up Dan Auerbach and his solo stuff is great too. The criticism of Black Keys is that the drums are too simple and similar from song to song but I very much liked this as a rock album that does what it does very well.

Electric piano and synth flute just isn't for me. Normally I would like this genre but I'll take Bee Gees and Elton John and the others from this time period instead. The track "Birmingham Blues" started strong but yeah, this artist isn't for me. Still gonna hear this tired ass song at the end of bad Chris Pratt movies tho.

Starts strong with the title song but quickly turns into mostly mopey sad country songs about feeling bad for yourself in kind of a simple and immature way.

It's like a British take on Chuck Berry, similar to Joe Cocker. So catchy. Every song could get stuck in your head. Had never heard this before but I'm in love. Hey Grandma, Omaha, 8:05, Changes, Lazy me were the highlights.

I've listened to this so many times. Love Radiohead but much prefer In Rainbows or OK Computer. They are coming into their own with this album and finding their style. Everyone has the whimsical noise reverb in the background now so this isn't so out of place. They soon start crushing it with the drums and math tempo vocals.

Hard to believe this is one of the 1001 most influential albums. It's so basic singer songwriter. Didn't mind the tracks For a Spanish Guitar or Tears of Rage. This is still really soft and emotional. He even covers Stand by Me. Have I seen this guy before at 7 pm Saturday at every local bar? Has a sleepy feel in it's tempo. Religious themes. There's so much ringing out of unnecessary words like iiiiiiiiiiii got a sandwiiiiiiiiiiiich.

Some fun beats but not really a cohesive album. At times low effort and uninteresting to straight up annoying.

So many good songs. Every instrument compliments each other and gets it's moment. Designed for the live show.

Amateurish and repetitive at times. Like a combination of Oasis and The Cure but not really as good as either or doing their own thing.

Just so sleepy and droning on.

This is musician's music. Very technical guitar solos, harmonizing vocals, peculiar timing beats for the drums to match the chords. This must be a blast to play in a band. Alas, I am not a musician. The lyrics are weird "If the summer change to winter, yours is no disgrace" (???). There's really great stuff to love in this album. The album picks up steam and really nails and epic 9:26 track "Starship Trooper" followed by the hit song "I've seen All Good People".

Weird and fun but too weird and not enough fun.

Upon 2nd listen through, I really like this. The voice needs a minute to get used to. Like, doo-wop New Wave. Pretty simple songs but funny and "in" lyrics. He gets it.

Me: Maybe I've outgrown Elton John, I much prefer more hard and aggressive music. Also me: Every song on this is an epic.

I usually prefer live albums but this one just doesn't have the clean vocals or energy as the studio tracks in my opinion. Best song: Suicide. The songs do sound very similar.

This could be on Sesame Street. The Rainbow Connection could be on this album. It's fine, just not a must hear genre.

No slow songs. Very aggressive.

why did you get into music

Pretty funny. Does not take itself so seriously.

Isn't it funny how Van Morrison always runs out of words when writing songs and needs to fill big parts of the song with sha la la and na na na all the time?

Love Frankie. This isn't his best work.

Inauthentic

Video game music.

Radiohead are the GOATs

I was always on the Nirvana side of millennial music. Don't get the 80s. This is a jazzercise aerobics VHS.
