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?
