Actually
Pet Shop BoysCamp and fun. Some of the synth is a bit too boppy for me
Camp and fun. Some of the synth is a bit too boppy for me
Funky and groovy leaning into early hip hop and lite club mixes. Shades of J-Dilla. Sunny afternoon at Parrotdog vibes.
Rock n roll with a little bit of punk and some interesting psychedelic parts. Mostly sounds like the kind of thing you’d use to score a 70’s high school movie where they smoke cigarettes and tailgate while wearing lots of denim. Or maybe something you’d smoke weed to in someone’s garden shed/garage
Such poor sound quality it’s hard to even tell one song from the next. Unmistakably Johnny Cash but not particularly interesting. Hard to believe this is the stuff that used to be considered rebellious
Surprising number of known singles off the one album. Popular-style late 70’s rock. Would hear all of these songs on The Sound. Shades of The Clash. B-side much weaker unfortunately.
Great riffs and vocals. Feels like it would have really stood out in 1972 alongside Sabbath and Zeppelin, although this is higher energy than either of those without feeling at all thrashy. Nice album, with lots of interesting instrumental parts.
Y’all know what it is. Famous album, some legendary tracks, a few misses too though
Epic album. Made to be played loud. Such a big sound
Spacious and ethereal sounding, devastatingly sad, unsurprisingly given it’s about the death of his son. Not as amazing as critics would have you believe, but maybe you have to be in the right headspace, which I hope I never am.
Not the one for me I’m afraid, a little too swoony.
Nice. A little cheesy but nice
Great album. Beautifully mixed. Great songwriting. Must have inspired a lot of subsequent indie rock. Lovely layers of sound on most songs.
Beatles album but worse
Awesome upbeat vibes. Comparable to M83. Kind of dance rock like Racing, but smoother and more airy and synthy. Some more ambient stuff thrown in there too. Fantastic album
Tunes.
Nice album, pleasant vibes
Some nuggets of gold and some lumps of coal on this record. Cobain’s voice seems to desert him during some songs, and is absolutely stunning during others.
Cool album. Super well produced. Sounds ahead of its time to me.
Not quite my tastes but objectively interesting and had some recognisable songs on the album. Hard to place genre-wise but had a bit of punk rock about it
Kinda psychedelic country? Very cool
Some pretty interesting stuff here. Can see how it might have been groundbreaking at the time. But some of it is just so so cheesy. Overall don’t think I could sit through the whole thing again
Very nice album. Love the acoustic electric which is all over this record.
Very cool live album. Great vocals and very spacial sound. Can’t believe I hadn’t heard of this artist before. Would definitely put this album on in TG’s shed.
Meh
Superbly mixed. Rock, blues and soul. Very nice backing vocals on many tracks. Nice piano on side 2
Cheesy, sorry Dad
Likes this album way more than I expected to. Consensus seems to be that this band spawned heavy metal and all its sub-genres. But I don’t think anything subsequent has matched how melodic and well written these songs are. Astonishing work
The vocal group that featured on Paul Simon’s Graceland. Has a lovely chanting feel to the music. Quite different to the western music I’m used to, but still a very pleasant sound.
A very interesting album that was well ahead of its time in 2007, and would have inspired a lot of the alternative music that came after it. However, probably not as “good” as it was important. The 90s albums like The Bends and OK Computer are still much better listening
Great album. Very nice vibes, love the guitar and vocals. Sounds like drinking craft beers at Paddy’s house
Thought the satar covers were cool, some songs were either originals or I didn’t recognise the song being covered. Some songs were far too frantic and unenjoyable to listen to. Hanna hated it
Can get behind this in the right mood
Some real bangers on here, but also some filler. Quite a different sound to the early years but not quite where they got to with Rumours.
I think this is a 3, but needs another listen in case it’s a 4. Mellow vibes
Boring, generic rock. Didn’t finish the album. Wouldn’t listen again
About as good as a pure rap album gets
How would we categorise this? Dream-Folk? In any case it’s not like anything I’ve heard before. Somewhere between Sufjan Stevens and NMH.
Must have been revolutionary in 2003. The beats are heeeavy
Groovy and kinda sexy album. Not actually what I expected from Lenny Kravitz, might need to check out the rest of the discography now as I was unfamiliar with his game.
Hit and miss. Big drop off from Seed 2.0 to the next tier of songs
Classic album. More mellow than I remembered in the middle. Such an uncomplicated, unfiltered sound. Eat your heart out Pop producers
Not for me.
Thought it was groovy. Hanna hated it. Need to give it another closer listen
Can’t take myself seriously listening to this
Pretty cool, very 80’s. But if you were going to listen to this you might as well just listen to The Cure
Really liked it. So varied, and doesn’t get boring despite being so long. Great concept for a triple album
Very spacey and airy. Wide soundstage. A little psychedelic. Interesting post production sound effects for a 1969 album. Sometimes leans a little too far towards Johnny Cash though
Beautiful album. So nice and loungey. Latin vibes. Cafe music in the best way
Opening track is actually my least favourite, haven’t given the rest of the album enough of a chance in the past, but it’s great. Must be some of the earliest psychedelic rock. Great mixing too
Such a cool sound. Definitely informed electronic music of the late 90s and 2000s. More mellow than I would have guessed
Post hardcore/alternative rock . Raw sound. Moody bass lines
Grew on me as it went. The psychedelic stuff is cool, but a lot of it is pretty corny.
Good album. Reminds me of a simpler time somehow. Acoustic electric guitars are nice. Enjoy the folksyness of it
Loungy Jazz piano and bass ensemble. Live album, awesome riffs, something to drink red wine or cocktails to
Legitimately terrible album. Somewhere between the outro music for a bad kids movie and the musical number from an original high-school stage production about vampire hairdressers
Robbie don’t miss
Just lovely
Camp and fun. Some of the synth is a bit too boppy for me
Fun album. Would pair well with pre mixed drinks and fewer responsibilities
Really like this. Feel like it blends the blues and country of previous decades with some of the 80s pep. Sounds great with loudness feature used on the amp, as there is plenty of dynamic range in the sound
Dream indeed. The synth takes me to another plane. Call the police on this album for being illegally good.
Unfortunate about the front loading. Could have been 5 star with a better permutation
Certainly would have sounded more like the music that came after it than before it. Not for me though
Sometimes vocals and a guitar are all you need. This is what country should be
Score a film to this
Beautiful soaring vocals plus moody angst in the music complemented beautifully by keys and strings.
YOU WOULDN’T DOWNLOAD A CAR
Should be better than it is. Drummer and guitarist are clearly skilled but are held back by lacklustre vocal melodies
This straight up sucks.
