Otis Blue/Otis Redding Sings Soul
Otis ReddingClassic Soul vibes from one of the best! Killer song selection (mostly covers) and the backing band smokes( Booker T & the M.G.s)! I never heard this album but I will be playing it again!! 4 stars

Never in my life had I listened to this artist ! I stopped buying new music in the late 80’s! I loved this album and will playing it again!
Scratching, low-fi sounds, samples, repetitive loops, depressing… not for Me!
Never would have guessed the year was 1973 would have thought of it later ‘70s during Punk Rock era. Song writing good… sound quality overall pretty bad… the sound of the lead guitar is harsh but the rhythm guitar parts are very cool and catchy …. I personally can’t get past the bad sound…
Album not available in your country on imusic
Great Bass! Don’t like the vox at all
A perfect 5.0, great song writing…. Great playing… the production and sound quality is top notch! This album brings back memories! Guitar sound and playing is awesome!
Great early progressive album … had I listened to it when I was young it would have the nastalgia factor … but without that .. the sounds are dated back to the early 70’s …
Important album … great songs… never could get used to his voice .. 3 stars
Spade music good vocals and melodies not very upbeat
Great memories “Cisco kid was a friend of mine…” Some of the songs go on a little long
Great album didn’t own this one -so I only ever heard “Young Americans” and “Fame” but the whole album is great! I can hear David Sanborn all over this album! Great bass also 4 stars!!!
Great memories of the hitsexpress yourself, like a prayer, cherish .. never heard the rest but it was typical 80s Madonna !! The song with Orince was very cool
Garbage! If I made a list “1001 albums I’d rather die than listen to again” this would be #1. Noise pollution! Johnny Rotten called the album noise and he was right! “Fodderstompf” on repeat could replace waterboarding as torture! Some music doesn’t age well but this def. Sucked right when it came out! I will give it 1 star only because I can’t give it ZERO!
Brings back memoies my friend had this album right when it came out !!! Great memories
Bill Evans. Scott LaFaro, & Paul Motion! Awesome playing great straight ahead jazz!
Good album… great guitars! For some reason I was never a JP fan although I loved solo Ozzy, Sabbath, AC/DC, BOC, something about the voice quality didn’t sit with me! I was in a basement band that played “you got another thing coming”, “breaking the law”, and “grinder” so those were fun memories…. The song “United” was so contrived and cheesy I almost shut it off. But I battled through and listened to the whole thing! Great 80’s metal - 3 stars

Great early 70’s Blues based rock!! Rod Stewart’s vox are great… some of the tunes and sounds remind me of the Stones from that era! BUT if you have Rod Stewart in your band you shouldn’t let anyone else sing lead on your album! 4 Stars!
No was a huge Elvis fan… don’t like the country/rockabillie thing at all. But this album sounds more main stream to me than most of his earlier stuff… pretty good!
Musically it was good - great melodies and a nice harmonies! A couple songs the lead vocals had a diff sound to them and they were hard to listen to. Probably 4 stars for the music and 2 stars for listening to an album in another language… so in balance 3 stars
Great memories - Famcing Queen, Money Money Money, knowing Me Knowing You, Fernando !!!! Wow I never heard the album but the album tracks did not disappoint! Well crafted danceable pop from the mid-70s! 4 stars
Great vocals and songwriting … I’m too old some of the backing “music” sounds like noise 3 stars
Peter Gabriel!!! I never owned this but loved every song.. so then it was on to “Melt” then “So”!!! He is so talented… I’m going to listen to his whole discography !!!4 stars
“Joy” division ??? Strange name … this music is totally lacking in any thing close to Joy…. I was sad to read about what happened to the singer : ( … so far proto- punk, post- punk, punk… any style that has “punk” in it … seems to be code for “the guys in the band didn’t bother to learn how to play their instruments”
Just No!!! I will give it 1 star because there is no way to give it 0 … this is noise with a beat… doesn’t Even come close to qualifying as music. 1 Star (really 0)
I remember when this came out I was a bit disappointed when I first heard it… I was a “Rio Grande Mud” “Tres Hombres” kind of guy. But it grew on me fast… regardless of the sounds used the song writing and guitar playing are top notch! This era of Z Z Top probably insured their longevity …. Great memories of seeing them on MTV when I hear these tunes! 4 stars !!
