Back To Black
Amy WinehouseDeeply personal, a generational talent gone too soon
Deeply personal, a generational talent gone too soon
Female led alt rock, very cool.
Weird but interesting
Rad guitar solos, love the musicality
Foundational pop punk, love
I think I get boomer nostalgia now
Just couldn't connect. Decent musical moments but they didn't gel with each other or with the lyrics in a way that I would've liked.
I really like the beats, don't love the vocals. Lyrics are super repetitive.
Ska is fun, idk what else to say
Janis's voice was killer! Like its own instrument.
I was getting into it and then Aumgn came on. 17 min of a Halloween atmospheric track. Peking O was only a little better. I could get into everything else but those two songs pissed me right off.
Rough and smooth in all the right places.
Would be a 4 but I just don't like most rap-rock.
Going in my jazz rotation.
Didn't like Iggy's vocals or most of his lyrics, the band was good though
Funky
Weird but I dig it. Need to give that one another listen.
Really, really disjointed. The faux radio transitions didn't age super well but I didn't hate them. Last song was bad. Wish McLaren 1) didn't sing/rap on any of these tracks and 2) credited the artists, all of whom did great work on the album.
Wonderfully weird and heartfelt
Big, bold, theatrical
Kinda meandering but I generally liked it
Super fun!
There were songs that I liked but the length of the record makes it hard to weigh as a full project. Lyrics were generally just fine. I didn't love the lead male vocals. The melodies and musical ideas were mostly good to great.
Pleasant. I liked the flute
Last two songs hit particularly well.
I had only heard Come Together, Here Comes The Sun, and Golden Slumbers (as a cover in Sing). That's a shame cause this album is full of great tunes! Oops all bangers!
Totally thought the chorus to the title track was "Man on the Run". Anyways it's a good album
I love dance tracks so I liked this album. It's definitely meant to be listened to at the club as the songs are a bit repetitive. Still overall fun!
Bit depressing, still good
Solid classic rock
The singer's voice got pretty annoying after a while. I'd probably like this more if I heard it live.
Deeply personal, a generational talent gone too soon
Wish I could hear this live, I bet it kills.
Definitely like the hip hop and funk leaning songs more than the rock leaning ones. Pretty fun, I see why they were the frat band of the time.
This style of music inspired the musical Cabaret, which I genuinely like. I couldn't get into this album though. I think it'd work better with more full instrumentation or if I heard it live in a small venue. I also bet the German version of this album sounds better. It's almost there.
Fine, kinda boring
I don't think I've ever connected to music with non-English lyrics like I have with this album. Just straight heat, so much funk and soul
Solid
Learning that I really like 70s rock
It's not bad, there are just better versions of all of these songs.
Again, I really like 70s rock
Wish he was a better singer. Great story telling though
Thom Yorke jumpscare. Decent album, good voice.
This would've gone triple platinum on my iPod touch when I was younger. I still like it but the pacing's a bit weird and the lyrics are a bit boring.
Rock made by a theater kid which is right up my alley. Totally get why he was in Rocky Horror now.
Fine, just fine.
Kanye's a great rapper, it's well produced, and it touches on some deeply personal issues that I can see being relatable. Totally get why the album and Kanye are so influential. I can't 100% connect to it because I'm clearly not the target demo. These songs are clearly geared towards guys with the way that sex/women/pussy is talked about. Wish that Kanye didn't lose his mind.
Probably the most British album I've ever heard. Some of these songs are so bleak in the best way possible.
The 2020 mention in Saturday Night freaked me out. Anyways this bangs. It's a nice break from all of the rock albums that I've gotten lately. The genre mixing is well done. The album as a whole is welcoming, I feel like it's music for anyone and everyone while still having a strong, specific perspective.
Very cool. The more avant-garde songs got weird but they didn't overstay their welcome.
Miles Davis has one of my favorite horn tones and So What is a classic
Lyrically very good, musically good but a touch repetitive
What on earth is going on with that mix. I could barely hear the vocals half of the time. Idk it was very disjointed but the guitar, bass, and drums were pretty good. Vocals were hit or miss.
Classic pop punk with good production.
Took me a little bit to acclimate. I appreciate the talent on display but I am just not a thrash metal person.
Fine, didn't leave much of an impression.
