Nice production. A little too clean? easy listening and nice roadtrip vibes
Love this record!! High energy, groove, foot tapper!
brit pop classic! I wasn't a big fan of this album when it first came out. I found it too much pop and not gritty enough. I've converted over time to get the appeal. To the End and This is a Low are the stand out tracks.
Torn between this and Abbey Road as the best Beatles album. Not a wasted moment, every song a banger! and possibly Ringo’s best lead song.
I was obsessed with this album around 1994. Music like this just doesn’t exist anymore. In my top10 all time
For me disappointing. I started this challenge to find some classic gems I had missed along the way. This was an album I was happy to have avoided. A lot of repetitive patterns and similar energy to every song. A lot going on and everyone competing for space. Some nice moments, most of which have no doubt been sampled since! Overall feels like a live band who love to improvise trying ti make a record.
First half, is the a poor mans Ziggy Stardust meets Bob Dylan? I don’t get where this album is going? Thank god for punk rock and new wave came along just a few years later! Listenable, but not something I’m in a rush to get back to anytime soon
I hear a lot of pink Floyd Wish you were here, but it was released 4 years prior! Especially South Side of the Sky. I don’t mind this record. It probably needs a few listens to take it all in.
This left me cold. Beautiful, soulful voice. But not something I feel inspired for a second listen.
Nice record, safe and from the production line. The 8th record? I think about how far the Beatles had come in the same time. A bit rinse and repeat for me.
Didn’t mind it, just not my thing. Feel alike a lot of the lyrics and designed more to shock than convey a point or perspective. Won’t be listening again
Didn’t hold my attention. Repetitive, melodic, metronomic. Will need to listen again to see what I missed!
I listened to this album. A lot back in the 90s was great to have a blast in the past. A lot of fun.
Classic!
May need to circle back to this one!
