Late 60s pop with a psychedelic, timeless track to finish the album.

Fantastic fuzz with a heart wrenching ballad

Best listened to loudly on a turntable

I respect the voice and production

Fight the power!

Monday Monday…

I like Zevon better

Great album. Will buy.

Very nice. Would buy

Makes me want to drink light beer and party hard

Not for me

Made me feel good

Production, vocals, instrumentals, songwriting…all great. Will buy on wax.

Very good. A bit long.

Listened twice. It was alright. Would buy if it was in the dollar bin

Experimental

Don’t remember enjoying this so much

Need more

Enjoyed this quick one. Would buy

Fun album

One of my favs, start to finish

Always enjoy this one

Interesting back story but that’s about it

Not great

Love it, just about every second

Great discovery!

Nice prog rock

Brought me a new appreciation for this artist

Supreme supreme

Pretty good folk rock. Probably would buy.

Very cool

Good sound and harmony, some of my favorites. Just too long.

Far too long. Great production at parts, specifically the first 1/4

Interesting enough

I understand the hype

Funky enough

Pretty good, not bad. Can’t complain

Slaaave driiiverrr

Pretty average blues, well produced with an all star cast.

love this stuff

Great turning point in their career

I’ve never listened to this album from start to finish. Definitely some hip hop classics that were on repeat in my teen years. As an album, this has fantastic production and genre defining lyrics. Love it.

The airplane will always have a place to go between my ears

I never sleep cuz sleep is the cousin of death

Like the synth 80s sound. A few all time greats…one too many ballads for me.

Early 60s JB is the best JB

I’m really not sure why a 59 song set would find its way on this list. It’s not an album, it’s a collection. I give it 3 stars because of the respect I have for the woman behind the microphone and the ever increasing respect for those behind the songs. It’s truly amazing to think of what song writing and composing once was. I listened to this entire thing in an afternoon as I went about my business. It was like a fever dream…

I never truly enjoyed Elton John. He’s a rocker and a great singer/songwriter. There’s much respect to be had. Still, this album will not find a place in my collection

I really was disappointed when I saw this album. I’m looking to use this project to discover new and unusual works that I otherwise would never experience. So, in sum, this is a great hip hop album with excellent production and flow. I enjoyed it and will listen again

I liked this a lot more than I anticipated. Really good guitar work here.

In a previous time I would’ve given this album a 4, maybe even a 5. But in the grand scheme of things, it’s not worth that. Three hits amongst several other unnoticeable tracks makes this an album that defines a generation for some but has little to offer for many others.

I believe this is a much stronger Stone album than the one I reviewed previously. Musically arranged in a way that kept me engaged from start to finish, I found myself wondering why I hadn’t listened to it sooner…creative, slightly innovative, and carries a message connected to a pivotal point in modern America.

I enjoyed some of the guitar work and some of the drum fills.

I listened to this album twice, both times I enjoyed it. More of a soundtrack feel. Probably won’t listen to again.

I had never listened to this album before. I have now listened to it twice, back to back. It filled me with a desire to dance and to be my true self. Exactly what an album should do!

Brought me back to summers as a kid…it could be a 3 star album, but when you look more into Lupe’s life both past and present one realizes just how good this actually is

“Some urged Dr. Dre not to take a chance on Eminem because he was white. Dr. Dre responded: ‘I don't give a fuck if you're purple. If you can kick it, I'm working with you.’” Aside from the skill and creativity of Mr. Mathers, this album features one of the greatest hip hop producers (my personal favorite) of all time. What came before this album for Marshall was rejection and failure. What followed was a national phenomenon and subsequently, national shock and disgust.

Reviewing a second time?

I think if I was rating this in 1993 it would’ve been 4 or 5 stars. Definitely an album that’s a sign of the times.

I will start by saying I own this album, listen to it on a semi-regular basis and have always thought of it as a gem. I will finish by saying I was surprised to see it on this list, and when listening to it with the same critical ear and mind I’ve used with all other albums I find it to be a “middle of the road” record. Wildflowers is a 10/10 track with all others being between a 7 and an 8. An easy 4 or 5 star country album, but 3 stars in this concept.

The guitar work on have a cigar is sexier than Barry White’s voice and the guitar work on shine on you crazy diamond is as pure as a Christian 7th grader. The name of the game? Riding the gravy train… Nothing makes me feel as high as a Pink Floyd album. Best enjoyed in a dark room with good sound system or deep in the woods, lost and alone with good headphones. By the way, which one’s Pink?

Dupe

There is a lot going on in this album. A lot. George is able to let out all the songs, melodies and feelings that seem to have been building over a few years. With multiple listens in my lifetime, the thing I gathered most from this one was the tasteful use of the horns. Plenty of rockers, some folky tunes, some poppy tunes, some devotional tunes and one ballad makes for a fantastic collection of post-Beatle music. Probably the greatest Post-Beatle album to be released in 1970. No disrespect to Ringo.

Meh

A hip hop album you can bring home to mother…. Big rhymes, boogie beats, and moving butts! So many classics. I didn’t know if this would be a 4 or 5, been about a decade since it’s gotten a full listen. I won’t let so much time pass between listens ever again.
