Excelent songs, such as sanctuary, Pharaoh's Dance., They're my favourites.
Extremely impressive, inovative and experimental. Some moments are way too experimental for me, with a weird jazz fusion vibes. Some songs left me feeling "anxious", unsettled. Problaby by design (so many things happening at once)
Long songs, which was algo a surprise. Overall, excelent discovery, and great way to start. Problably I won't listen to every song or the whole album very often, but some songs for sure will enter my regular playlists for working focus.
Long album. Never heard of Nick Cave, pleasant surprise!
Not my cup of tea, the genre is a "folk/indie rock/experimental". There are a few good tracks, and in general a good instrumental, with great guitar and bass. But I cant't get over the vocal performance. I'm not a fan of his voice and style of singing.
Out of all the songs, I guess i enjoyed the most the songs with a more lyrical tone, such as. Get Ready for Love, Messiah Ward, There She Goes My Beautiful World, Nature Boy. Didn't enjoy both title tracks, however.
I enjoy The Beach Boys, but I'm not a huge fan. This album is great for a great fan od the Beach Boys, but since I'm not, it sounds like a bad album from a band I kinda like.
It is easy to see the effort, sound quality, production and composition effort, but it's not for me. Our Prayer/Gee was a great song, my favorite so far.
joyful, the album name is on point (SMILE!)
Actually sounds like the Beatles, incredible. Great songwritting, great compositions. Actually think i might come back for this album.
My favorites: Gotta get up, The moonbeam song, Down, Without you, Jump into the fire, let the good times roll.
Great surprise, didn't think I'd enjoy it as much as I did. Excelent tracks, nice drums and bass, and delighful guitars.
I agree with a few critics that I've read: it all seems like one long song. But It's not a deal breaker for me.
I've favorited many songs from it, excelent discovery! Wouldn't listen if not for this project
Honestly, I thought I'd like it more. It totally didn't get to me. Not a single song caught me.
I think I was open, trying to like it, but just didn't happen. It's a bummer, such an iconic album and album cover. I guess it isn't for me.
Good album overall. Not my favorite genre, but her voice is amazing, the songwritting is excellent as well.
Ok, excellent opener. Brings me back to the 80's. Kinda of sounds like a more complex and diverse "Your love", "I ran" kinda of song.
Excellent bass, nice voice. Positively surprised.
I thought I'd like more this album. Prince seems to be an incredible artist that I didn't have the opportunity to check out. Well, it turned out I didn't like this album.
It feels very "all over the place", it lasts more than it should. So many no-rememberable songs. I think I only enjoyed one song to a point of giving it a like. Bummer
The instrumental slaps, very groovy and funky. But it didn't get to me.
I've only listened to a few Bowie songs, the most famous ones. This is the first album that I've listened from beginning to end. Well, it is not good.
It's very avan-garde, jazzy, almost fusion-like, with a lot of inovation and experimentation. But it seems a little bit without directions. No song stood out for me.
Ok, this one got me by surprise. It is surprisingly good. I am not an major fan of folk, but this one may change my mind. Vocal harmonies are on point, excelent instrumentation, so many unique sounds.
Excelent album, short songs but they seem to go by even faster with their quality.
The songs are similar, but they defenitely don't sound the same, you know what I mean? They have the same feel, but each has it own unique flavour.
Favourite songs:
White Winter Hymnal (excellent, wow! gave me goosebumps!)
Your Protector
Blue Ridge Mountains
Not my cup of tea. Could be good, but I'm not in the mood
Excellent grooves, very funky. I won't say that I would listen to it every day, but in the right mood it is great, absolutely great
what else to say? It's excellent.
This album started strong! Great song, brings me back to my teenage years. Always treated it as a one-hit-wonder. Let's see the rest of the album... (but this one already gives it a 2 star).
It is a calm album. Reminds me of something like jack johnson.
Well, not so many interesting songs, but it's calm. I guess I'll give it a two
Cool album, with cool tracks. Steely Dan is a nice discovery. Here, there is a song made as response to Imagine, by John Lennon. Very interesting!
Favourite songs: Do it again, Only a fool would say, Change the Guard
Good album. A bit repetitive, always that walking bassline, but it's a classic and it created a clichê. I'm just a gigolo is a great song
Great album. The beginning didn't get me, but the last songs are FIRE. Awesome tracklist.
Not my cup of tea, actually. Drum and bass and some vocals over it, but I'ts not the best
