A Christmas Gift For You From Phil Spector

Popular Reviews

The Band

5/5

I am sorry but anyone who reviews this album and gives it 2 or 3 stars should remove themselves from the site and be obligated to listen to 24 hours straight of The Foo Fighters. This album is a classic of country flok, country rock, folk rock, blues, you name it. Yes, Robbie Robertson was a putz but he was an excellent songwriter and his voice on several tracks make this album a classic.

This was the first album that I purchased with my own money. I loved every song to death. I still do. I think it holds up very well. In the grand scheme of things this one has to rank in the top 25. Rare album because each track is excellent.

Not the best Steely Dan album by a long shot but the album really showed their ability to move in and out of different genres. Some hits on here and a little filler but the filler would be the pinnacle of a lot of other bands

I think it would be hard to dispute this albums greatness. Time may have worn people out on this album but it was and still is, a masterpiece. The production. The writing. The vocals. The music. It was so far ahead of its time I am not sure we have actual gotten “ it” yet.

I never really believed all the hype behind this band but as time went I really got like and understand what all the fuss was about. I think this album More any other really opened my eyes. Not a perfect album. Couple of songs just seem like filler but the strong songs are great.
