As Andrew said, "I was waiting to get bored but never did." Each one of Joanna Newsom's songs on Ys go through a fantasy-esque quest, weaving intricate harp and orchestral lines with vivid and substantial lyrics.
Not something I'd actively seek out to listen to, but it's an iconic album of the era. Well produce, strong arrangements, great vocal performance. For what it is, it's solid.
This sounds exactly like a rock star in stuck 20+ years in the past trying to modernize their sound and missing the mark big time. It's just so cheesy.
I was surprised to learn that this album was released in 1977 because I have "Psycho Killer" on my 80's playlist. I wonder if David Byrne knew that this was ahead of its time and drew attention to that fact with titling it with its release year. Anyway, it capture such an iconic sound and vision, and the songs themselves are fun, and accessible.
I need a few more listens with the lyrics to really understand this album, but I enjoyed it. My only issue is that the mixing sounds a bit hollow, like an instrument is missing in most songs.
The 90's smooth jazz influence isn't really my thing, but I still got into the groove of this album
I didn't realize how much Carole King I knew already. A lot of bangers on here. Cool baselines. Memorable vocal melodies without it being too generic.
I can't. It was just too many abrasive noises on top of each other, and so repetitively. And this, coming from a man who has enjoyed Bastard Noise.
A bit of a relic of its time. I wasn't into then and I'm not into it now.
Some decent stuff here. Some risks were taken. Some nuts apparently busted. A little too pop-py though.
It started off somewhat boring, imo, and then got worse in the middle. Some good riffs here and there, but at what cost?
Sick as fuuuuck
Definitely need to be in the right mood for 12 minute funk/jazz fusion songs, but this album is perfect for those times.
You have to imagine being a kid in the 90's for this album to work.
Love the bass line on Happy Feelin.
I wish they had adapted the songs for an acoustic set rather than just play them regularly, but on acoustic guitars and drum brush.
This style of music will just never be my thing. It was pleasant enought though
This kind of music will never do it for me. Beats for the sake of dancing without much substance.
Inconsistent
Too Nashville for me, but there are some surprising parts that kept me in it. Not bad, not great.
Pretty bland overall, but not bad
Really disappointing, considering how much I like Karma Chameleon
Got better in the latter half once it got more upbeat.
It wasnt great, but it has a cool vibe
Some surprisingly good melodic parts brought down by the horribly annoying singles.
It's too much bongo for one sitting
Way ahead of its time, cool beats, cool backstory and lyricism.
I'll need to remember this album to put on if I ever get to have sex again.
The softer stuff on this album is the best, but i just can't stand bar rock.
It kept my interest, but it didnt do much for me
The production on this is a lot better than their more popular stuff, but the voices are still not that enjoyable
Decent, but I'm not really feeling it.
Got a bit bored of the repetition, but some of the riffs are cool.
The synth instruments, the odd choice of making a soundtrack for a movie that doesn't exist, the added sound effects that are completely without context. It was a strange one.
Cabaret should stay in cabaret.
Cool stuff. Not great background music, but I'd listen again.
It was well done, and in small doses it's fine. Just not my jam typically.
Loved every second.
It's a wonder that The Rolling Stones is remembered to this day.
I might have lost my shit for this in the 60s.
I appreciate it for what it is, but I'm not a big fan of punk.
Just so boring. And what the fuck is up with the lyrics? The adoration is all surface level so that it comes off a bit creepy.
Way inconsistent, and the vocals are offputting
Was skeptical, but it was actually pretty good. Might try it again after a few too many edibles
A bit bland, but not bad
This would be a 4 if all the songs were 2 minutes shorter.
Better than the first Neil Young album I heard from this list, but the cool parts aren't consistent
Truly terrible
Might want to listen to again. It's a good period piece
Sooooo boring
Not a fan of bossa nova
Decent. Just sounds very 60's
The voice is sometimes hard to handle. But there are some really cool moments in this
Will listen more
The weird atmospheric stuff was great.
I pledge a groovallegiance to the funk
