I didn't like this album. I saw them do this music when I was in high school. What a big voice the lead singer had. Doug Ingle.
Pleasantly surprised a few times during this album.
This music was overwhelming for me.
Ground-breaking, influential album with the genre defining vocals of Miss Aretha Franklin. An undeniable classic in every sense of the word for every category you can think of regarding the recording arts.
Another ground-breaking recording. Another artist defining soul. Excellent
Really liked the grooves on this and the unusual sounds, interesting vocals, unexpected lyrics . . . I will listen to this again.
I have always loved Randy Crawford's vocals on Street Life. The rest of the album was enjoyable too but instrumental horn music gets old to me about halfway through the recording. Taken one by one they are accomplished arrangements and the musicianship is wonderful.
I liked this album when it was first released. I like his voice.
Very interesting. So many varying sounds and styles. I don't really like her voice. There were a couple of songs on the al um that perked my ears up but I didn't really like it much.
hmmmm, wanted to like it but it became like too much text on the page and it just grays out . . .
Sade is always a joy to hear. I like every cut on this album.
Didn't like her voice from the first cu but need to listen to the rest of the album.
Some of Page's most memorable and recognizable work. Plant is a force of nature.
Phunky. Liked some of it. Gets repetitive but could keep you poppin if it was in the background. Just not loving some of the message.
I remember not loving this when it was current. I think the last track Tall in the Saddle was the best one for me. I tire of her voice quickly and the whole production was jsut so dated in a way that I didn't like.
When these guys surfaced with that raw sound it was a welcomed change from the overproduced music that was popular at the time. I tire of the effects after a few cuts. But in general I like them.
I was surprised by many things on this recording. The production, the musicianship, the arrangements were all unexpected for me. I didn't like it and won't listen to it again but there were seconds that took me by surprise. I had never listen to a Kanye record before and so I didn't know what to expect. It was different than I thought it would be.
All such classics by the one and only Sinatra. The instrumentation, the arrangements, his delivery all perfection
Peter Gabriel defined the production sounds used on his recordings. While dated his style is so signature it is still good to hear. HIs live performances were theatrical and really entertaining.
Did not enjoy his vocals or the songs
Enjoyable all the way through.
I don't like this style of singing. It is flat sounding.
Interesting. Probably wouldn't listen to it again except for second cut entitled
It's Time to Get Away From You
which I have added to my play list for quick acesss.
Too repetitive.
Don't really like her voice or vocal style. Tracks all sounded the same. Kind of liked one track something about the Weekend.
Enjoyed this listen. I like their voices. Great backing vocals. Also really like the interesting lyrics, arrangements and composition of the songs and the production. Enjoyed the song Bonny and the guitar tone used. Never even heard of this group of musicians.
I listened to this as a background but it is just not my thing.
A lot of good music came out of this period in music. It all propelled forward but this was not musical enough for me to like. I don't actualy remember this band.
This challenging listen is essential to understand so many genres. Lou Reed and the Velvet Underground broke through as many walls as they could with this one recording. I'll probably never listen to it again but I am glad I listened to it now.
I'm sure he is talented but I just found it a boring listen. I sometimes liked his guitar work. His voice is soft and low but stylistically there was nothing engaging in his singing. Some of the lyrics were well turned phrases but overall just too sleepy for me.
