I liked the album. Healthy mis of hip-hop and instrumental music, not simple drum-machine beats. Cannot judge lyrics that much. I liked the genre variability of the songs - some of them are classic funk, some of them - hip-hop, some are pop soapy stuff and some tracks are pretty heavy. I did not expect the album to be that good.
Most remebered track - Smoke 'Em. Sounds really noire due to contrabass.
My favourite Metallica album. Simple as. It grows on me every year. I don't listen to it all yhe time, more like once a year and I find something new all the time. Aggressive, beautiful, adrenaline, thought provoking. MASTERpiece.
Not sure if I like it. That's my first ZZ top album and I don't think that's my type of music - I don't want to listen to any more of that. It's fine, the riffs are cool, but get very repetitive very quickly. Not sure if I like the lyrics - they are a bit off-putting to me but that's alright. It's not bad just not for me. Favourite track - "Sharp Dressed Man". I'm mixed between 2 and 3 so picking the lower grade.
Boy those songs are long! Quite repetitive also. I think the lyrics used to be revolutionary at the time being, now I don't find them so appealing. Rhythms are groovy though, great album if you like soul or funk. I'm not a big fan but didn't hate it. I don't think I will listen to it again, just doesn't seem like my kind of music.
I couldn't suffer through song called "Automatic". There was a phrase in this song "I'm going to have to torture you know" which is pretty similar how I felt during the longer songs of this album. Thanks for the heads-up though.
Actually, "Lady Cab Driver" sometimes was pretty good. It is still 8 minutes, I liked maybe a half of it.
Pretty classy hip-hop. Liked the beats, liked the flow. I am up for the classic hip-hop and that is a fine example.
Favourite track - Jenifa Taught Me.
Really like the album. I didn't know anything about Michael or about this album so was going in completely dark. I liked the groove, the calming vocals and lyrics, wonderful flow and overall smoothness of the album. Very solid, would definitely listen to it again.
Favourite tracks: You Ain't The Problem, Piano Joint.
Pretty cool ambient, impressive that it came out as early as 1978 (I'm sure there were earlier entries as well, didn't do my research). Calming, relaxing, I think it fits the theme of an Airport well. I don't have a favourite track as the whole album mixed into a single long track for me. It was easy to work while it was playing and I felt relaxed afterwards so I guess that's to the point.
I liked the album. It started slowly at first but then it got pretty intense. Very radiohead-y. Not my favourite album from them but still like it. Favourite track is "There, There". And I got the rear feeling of wanting to listen to it a couple more times to fully get it. Good album.
Really good album. Of course I've heard individual tracks but this was the first time I've heard it in full. I don't think I have to say anything extra about it - I think it is marvelous, Mercuries' singing is simply perfect and it was nice listening to these songs.
I'm not sure I really like it. I kinda like blues but this feels empty and seems like a showcase of guitar skills. I am not blown away by this album but Layla raises the overall score for me - I really like this track, it's so different from anything else on this album.
I love the energy of this album. It's minimalistic and yet it gives out a wall of sound. I feel like this band must've influenced a lot of bands that I like such as PJ Harvey, Radiohead and others. I praise the pure emotion, simplicity and the expressiveness but, being honest, the album itself felt a bit repetitive for me.
I liked the "Switch" most but the cover on "Helter Skelter" was also awesome.
I liked the album a lot. It felt like a mix of Iron Maiden and Slade. I liked the vocals and the guitar solos - all incredible and unique. I didn't know about this band at all and I feel I will come back to it for sure.
The first 20-minute track was a banger but alsoThe Twilight Zone was great.
It's an OK album but you need to be in right head space for it. I'm sure that teenage me would have loved it and listed the crap out of it but now I feel like it's a bit bland.
My initial impression was "wow this is bad".
> ... Like most of his other albums, Greetings from L.A. did not sell well ...
I was like "I fucnking wonder why?". Terrible lyrics, sex-funk, stupid and profane. But I gave it another go. And in the end I even liked a couple of tracks like "Hong Kong Bar" and "Make It Right". "Devil's eyes" is still too graphical to me but the album redeemed itself a bit. Not bad.
It's brilliant. I don't have anything else to say. I like this album a lot. Favorite track - Lazarus.
I prefer David Bowie's music over it. Not really remarkable but still good to know that this exists. Still pretty enjoyable but not really remarkable. I struggle to pick one song that I liked the most - they all kinda mixed together in my head.
That was like a breath of fresh air! Great, almost exclusively acoustic sound coupled with energetic delivery scratches the itch for me. I liked "Add it up" and "Gone Daddy Gone".
I love Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds. I really enjoy the sound of this album, I can listen to it both thoughtfully and while doing something else. The sound is incredibly deep, singing is soothing and mesmerising and overall atmosphere is soothing and unsettling at the same time. I will be boring here and call "Waiting for You" is my favourite track but that's just because it introduced me to this album. It's hard to pick my favourite out of here.
It was an OK hip-hop album, much more interesting to me than most others. The flow was nice, it was groovy and it was overall pretty nice. I'm not the biggest fan of hip-hop though so I don't think I can appreciate it enough.
I don't know, it sounds good but I didn't remember a single song. It sounds way too generic, like any other band from the period. The title track, Bad Company, is the only one that I remembered. Other than that guitars are sweet, voice is rock-y and overall it's really nice but doesn't really stick.
I liked the lyrics and the singing. It's very smooth and slick. I like that kind of music and it hits the spot. Also learned that Bowie was a big fan of Walker and you can actually hear the influence in the manner Bowie sings. I listened that album 3 or 4 times in the end, my favorite is the very first track - The Seventh Seal.
That was a pretty nice album, I enjoyed the mix of funk and psychedelic rock. The melodies were pretty wild and fresh for me. I liked the "Wars of Armageddon" the most.
I never listed to it deliberately before this list but somehow heard most of the songs from the album. It was fine but I found it a bit dull. I liked the "Mental" the most compelling on this album - both music- and lyrics-wise.
Don't know, couldn't listen to it to the very end. Just not my cup of tea, it seems. Feels like I've listed to it so many times that it just feels bland. Perhaps, there's some historical context I'm missing.
Unusual album. I had to split it into two parts around track 10 as I didn't have time to listen it as a whole. Definitely a worthwhile listen, enjoyed it.
Never heard this album in full before so finally got a chance to do that. Amazing. Simply brilliant. It sounded perfect, complex enough to still catch the attention but digestible to not cause any "WTF?!"-moments unlike some entries on this list.
That was a strange one. I like the atmosphere and the background behind the album but I'm not sure I liked it as a whole. It sounds thoughtful and a bit unsettling, I like that a lot, but after it was over I wasn't sure what to think - I was kinda glad that it was over but at the same time now I want to listen to it again, perhaps, in a different headspace? I liked "Johnny 99" the most.
Well, what can I say. This was my introduction to The Doors years ago and it is a great record. I didn't listen to it for several years and I was afraid that I had rose-tinted glasses back then and it might not hold up but nope, it is even better than I remembered. Great mastering, powerful lyrics, vocals and keyboards - all contribute to the whole experience. Don't have a favorite track here, it's the whole album.
Quite a bit of noodling but I liked it
I think the lyrics lovers love this album but for me something was lacking. The man is a genius for sure but I prefer a little bit more melodic and a bit more music. Just don't think it's entirely for me but definitely worth a listen. Favorite track - First we take Manhattan.
I wanted to hate this album more but it was pretty good. Teenager in me is joyed. I don't appreciate this as an actual punk-rock because there's way more bands that do it better and more genuine, but it's a pretty solid pop-punk with some bangers like Boulevard of Broken Dreams or Holiday. But otherwise I'm not a huge fan of Green Day.
Save Me and Good Times were good, everything else was kinda meh. Not sure I'm a fan.
Starts off very strong with Gasoline Dreams. Ms. Jackson is also a classic one.
Other than that I got tired of it by track 15 because I'm not a huge hip-hop fan. But this was pretty good. I was initially too generous on my votes and I'm calibrating my bar now so this gets 3.
It feels very personal and powerful and I appreciate that but, unfortunately, it's not my cup of tea. Would put 1 star but I think with the lyrics and the sincereness of this album I can't bring myself to do that. It's not bad, I'm sure it resonates with a lot of people but not with me.
That was alright. I've listen to very similar things when I was a teen. A bit soothing, calming and relaxing. However, as I said, I might be overexposed to those kind of music so it's not really surprising to hear. Lots of similar fish in the sea.
Good one. Through the Wire is my favourite. The album is a bit silly and over-the top in portraying a caricature of a people with a degree but I feel like that's the point. Good beats and I like Kanye before he went completely bonkers.
That was a nice and relaxing one. Not much to note there other than I liked it and even though it's not phenomenal it hits the spot.
Fun album, reminded me of Johny Cash.
Fat bass, greasy sound. Sometimes quite simple, sometimes with a bit off twist. Signature sound - I can hear them in many contemporary bands.
