The album sounds like electronic music from an alternate future. I couldn't tell when one track ends and another begins. The drum and bass sessions remind me of Prodigy, Propeller Heads, and some of Daft Punk. It's music that you can put in a lounge, but also when you want to take a relaxing drive at night.
Fun album. I enjoyed the guitars more than the singing. My favorite tracks were "I can't explain", "young man blues", and "summertime blues". I feel like this album is something that can be in a racing video-game. Glad to hear it for the first time.
"Sure shot" and "Sabotage" are all time greats. I also liked the mellow beats from "Ricky's theme" and "transitions". However, the album as a whole is too experimental for me.
The album was good, but I did not resonate with it as much as "21". "Hello" was probably the most played song in 2015, and I liked "Water under the bridge" and "Love in the Dark". However, I don't find myself going back to this album much.
This is probably the oldest album I've ever listened to, and I had a good time. I liked "the Lip" and "Jump, Jive, and Wail". Makes me wonder how life was back in 50's. The parties must have been wonderful!
Yup, this one is good. These guys can move from guitar solos to duets, and then the full clash of rock and roll seemlessly. First time listening for me, and I'm now a fan (July of 2025).
Great voice. I liked "Lu" and "Lonely women", but the rest are a bit hit or miss for me.
Just couldn't get into Morrissey's voice on this one.
Sarah Vaughan has a great voice, but the album is a bit too slow, and many of the songs have a similar pattern. Just didn't work for me this time.
Just couldn't get into this one. Feels like 3:00 o'clock on a Monday, and I just want to go home.
The lyrics seem more interesting than the music, but it didn't work out for me.
Songs for a summer road trip, I can see the appeal of these tunes from the 70's.
Came in with no expectations, and couldn't find any tracks to latch onto.
Cool album! I liked "Enemy Fire", "Touch, feel & lose", and "Tina Toldeo's Street Walkin' Blues".
Soft songs with short titles - but just not interesting to me.
"Mr. Siegal" was fun, but the rest didn't resonate with me. I liked Tom in a lot of films though.
A timeless album that feels new and nostalgic at the same time. Listening to this at different moods or under different sound systems makes me hear something new every time. My favorite tracks are "Don't know why", "come away with me", "shoot the moon", and "painter song". However, the whole album is enjoyable.
Cash's voice is definitely a force of nature. Much respect for him to do a concert in a prison. The "San Quentin" song was definitely something to hear. The cheers in the background felt intense.
Awesome album! Break out the 808's, cardboards, and Adidas track pants and lets get dancing!
Good album. I liked "Sara", "Storms", and "Sisters of the Moon".
McQueen has a distinct sound and smooth vocals. I liked "Bonnie" and "Appetite". Will check out their other albums.
It's hard to make sad songs catchy, but I can't help but hum to these classics. Great songs with great vocals, 5 stars for me.
"Don't stop..." and "Rock with you" are classics, but there are better MJ songs on later albums.
The wiki explanation for the "2112" title track is great!
""2112" tells a story set in the city of Megadon in the year 2112, after an intergalactic war in 2062 forces many of the planets to be ruled by the Solar Federation (symbolized by the Red Star on the cover artwork), where individualism and creativity are outlawed. The population is controlled by a cabal of priests living in the temples of Syrinx, who take orders from giant banks of computers that control all aspects of life ("The Temples of Syrinx"). An unnamed protagonist finds a guitar inside a cave and rediscovers the lost art of music ("Discovery"). Upon playing the guitar to the priests, they destroy it and declare music a waste of time and against the computers' plan ("Presentation"). In a dream, an oracle shows him a planet established simultaneously with the Solar Federation, where an elder race flourish in creativity and individuality ("Oracle: The Dream"). He awakens, depressed that music is part of such a society that he can never be part of and kills himself ("Soliloquy"). The song ends with an ambiguous spoken ending: "Attention all planets of the Solar Federation: We have assumed control" ("Grand Finale"). Peart clarified that after the protagonist took his own life, another planetary war begins and the elder race successfully take down the Solar Federation in an ending he described as a "double surprise ... a real Hitchcock killer".
Good album that just warms your soul. Great for a night at home when it's raining outside. My favorites were "Cry to me", "good bye baby", "you're good for me", and "beautiful brown eyes".
Not the last we'll hear of Radiohead. I liked "Body snatchers", "weird fishes", and "Jigsaw falling into place".
Really interesting album, and really "new" music for me. I liked "Savanne", "Soya", and "Soko Yhinka".
This gives me the vibes of the Propeller Heads and Daft Punk. I liked "My Mate Paul", "Rodney Yates", and "Don't just die yet". I could do without the audio clips though.
Definitely a high-energy rock album. I liked "Gimme all your lovin", "sharp dressed man", and "Legs". I can see this as an inspiration to many rock bands after the them.
Fun album. I liked "before you accuse me", "looking out my back door", and "Up around the bend". Heard a lot about this band, and finally spent some time listening to their album.
I liked "Breaking the girl" and "Under the Bridge", but most of the other songs didn't work for me.
When this came out 20 years, I liked "Seven Nation Army" and "the Hardest Button to Button". Revisiting this again today, I have the same thoughts. Besides those tracks, the album is not for me.
I could only get into a few of the popular songs, and the rest seem like initial ideas that will turn into something better.
Cool album with a cohesive sound. I liked "You ain't the Problem", "Piano Joint", "Hard to say goodbye", and "Light".
Let's keep on choogling in 2025!
