I never really gravitated towards Beach House naturally tbh. Knew the song Silver Soul from Tikto lol. Very dreamy and relaxing (would love to hear the album in a spa or something) but sill doesn't do a lot for me personally. Solid album overall for a nostalgic 2010's indie feelings can't say something really negative about it, just a bit boring for my taste.
Best Song: Lover of Mine i guesss? kinda more groovy vibes the the rest
Most skippable Song: Used to Be, hated the piano folky sound
Song that surprised me most: idk, all kinda stared to sound the same
Crazy strong opening track with "Never let me down again", one of my favorite DM songs EVER. Hard to follow up such a banger tbh. The rest of the album is okay i would say. Really of it's time with e synths.
Best Song: Never let me down again obv ;)
Most skippable Song: Little 15 idkkk got a bit boring
Song that surprised me most: I want you now, loved the background sounds
Loooove Janis Joplin's voice. Never listened to a full album tho, i thought i was gonna get tired of it quicker then i actually did. Was a really fun listen.
Okkk Jazz!!
Really not my cup of tea. Objectively he has an amazing powerful voice. I just don't gravitate towards Metal etc. Was okay, won't listen to it again tho.
Where do I even begin with this album(masterpiece)? This is one of my , if not my all time favorite Album ever. I mean Kendrick followed up one of the goat albums GKMC with an even better one. From Flying Lotus to Thundercat, Snoop to George fucking Clinton, how could this not become a Masterpiece.
Wesley's Theory – ANYBODY CAN GET IT, THE HARD PART IS KEEPING IT MOTHERFUCKERRRR!!!!! Starting off with my personal favorite Kendrick song. Just WOWWWW. every time i listen to this song i get transported to another galaxy. From the jazzy ass instrumental to the Lyrics, beat changes, Dre's interlude mannnnn i will never get tired of this song. 12/10 and that's that.
For Free Interlude - THIS DICK AIN'T FREEEEEE. Fuckkkkk i love jazz.
King Kunta - WE WANT THE FUNK!! Indeed we fucking do. Walking down the street to the beat with a cig in hand and i feel invincible lol.
Institustionalized - Vibes Vibes Vibes. So chill but still so powerfull. Love Bilal and Snoop on this, perfect features. and don't forget SHIT DON'T CHANGE UNTIL YOU GET UP AND WASH YO ASS
These Walls - ok I don't like the intro with the moaning haha. Everything else is perfect. Sooooo groovyyy (knew it had to be Thundercat hihi) you won't even notice he talks about fucking his enemy's girl lol. Anna Wise and Bilal again just take it up another noch.
U - This is a heavy song. I don't usually listen to this one unless i listen to the full album. It hits soo hard. You can feel everything Kendrick is saying to the bone. Also the second part after the cleaning lady is underrated. LOVING YOU IS COMPLICATED 🗣️
Alright - I think this was the first Kendrick song i ever consciously listend to and I fell in love with his music(at 14). Love me a Pharrell beat obv. Powerful message too. What's not to love
For Sale Interlude - How are the interludes as good as a song?? Love ittt it's so dreamyyyy NOW BABY WHEN I GET YOU GET YOU GET YOU GET YOUUU
Momma - ughhh the lyrical work goes crazy, so so beautiful. Also love the production. I KNOW EVERTHING
Hood Politics - BUBUUUUUU beat could come straight out of hiphops golden age the way i bop my head to this
How Much A Dollar Cost - this is what you fucking want man. THIS IS RAP!!! Storytelling on point and deep lyrics. The outro is so poetic too:
I washed my hands, I said my grace
What more do you want from me?
Tears of a clown, guess I'm not all what it's all meant to be
Shades of grey will never change if I condone
Turn this page, help me change to right my wrongs
Complexion - I know this song is often regarded as the weakest of the album. I still love it a lot. I think featurring Rhapsody was great. She's sooo talented and doesn't get nearly as much recognition as she deserves.
The Blacker The Berry - I'M THE BIGGEST HYPOCRITE IN 2015🗣️ One of my favs off the album. Soooo intense. I love angry Kendrick ok??
You Ain't Gotta Lie - hell yessss fun fun funnnn to listen to. Wanna blast it out my nonexistent car and smoke a cig out the window
I - ALBUM VERSION ALLL THE WAY!!! Sooooo much better then the single Version and you're an Opp if you say otherwise. Love the journey from U to I.
Mortal Man - WHEN SHIT HIT THE FAN IS YOU STILL A FAN? Yes Kendrick I AM!!! Beautiful way to end an album. I can appreciate the poem(if anyone can pull of a fake convo with Tupac it's Kendrick) but i always felt a bit conflicted about it. But love to hear the full poem in the end.
I REMEMBER YOU WAS CONFLICTED
I wish i could give it album 6/5. I listen to it almost every week and i never get tired of it never ever ever. Thank you Kendrick.
Sounds like driving through the US desert in 1970. The harmonies got a bit old after some tracks and a bit too folky/country for me at times. Tracks i liked: Almost cut my hair, Woodstock, carry on.
It's always a great day to listen to Common & J Dilla & (old) Kanye!! This album is absolutely amazing from start to finish. Will never skip a track. Common shines on every track but Kanye is also a standout, makes you miss the old Kanye 😫 Production is so immaculate on every single track that i would even listen if it was an instrumental album. Much love
I honestly don't have a lot to say. It's a solid album but I won't be seeking it out and listen to it probably ever again lol. The runtime is also a tad too long.
I like a political Hiphop Album don't get me wrong. While this has some strong elements, i especially liked the jazz samples, it felt like "cheap" Public Enemy idk. I'd rather listen to them then this but overall okay album.
Idk what to say. Boring, annoying voice, elevator music at best. Sorry lol
I'm kinda torn why this is on the list. If it was about Songs, The Message should 100000% have a placement. It's Hiphop in it's earlier stages in the early 80's. I enjoyed some tracks, very funky and raw still. Some other not so much, but I'm not the biggest early-mid 80's Hiphop fan.
Idk why I never listened to this album before. 14 year old me would have eaten this upppp. well 25 year old me too. Not unique, sounds like a lot of music from that era haha but really enjoyable will def listen again!
I wasn't familiar with this album or artist so I really didn't have a lot of expectations. I didn't hate it but i also didn't love it. I think there's much better from the time period. Some songs are bangers tho, I especially liked I'm not angry and the Devil shoes one.
This was never meant to be consumed by anyone else then a hippie on acid. No thanks.
wtf lol
second Iron Maiden album i got. Not much else to say than i already have. I'm sure they are great musicians i just really don't like metal. And Number of the Beast was at least more interesting than this.
Really really enjoyed most of it. I only knew sultans of swing before. Still my fav but the rest was also interesting. Great guitar.
so boring omg
fun indie electronic rock album, really enjoyed it.
sooooo good. No surprise here. Loved this album for many year. Truly a masterpiece.
really solid. Was nice to listen to while working. Idk if i'll ever go out of my way to listen to this album again tho.
Ughhh i'm so conflicted. Some songs are obvsious bangers like Kill You, Stan, The Real Slim Shady or The Way I am. At the same time the lyrics are really hard to listen to. Super homophobic and misogonystic. man i don't know. It is a classic tho and Dre's production def shines.
not as crazy as other zappa records which i like. Doesn't do a whole lot for me personally but really really good musicians obv.
I tried... and i will never like Metal.
Don't really know why a live album is on here? Anyways blues isn't my favourite genre but an enjoyable listen non the less.
Love his voice.
a bit boring imo, all the songs kinda blended into one blob by the end. still good record to listen to while working.
Really enjoyed this one. Will def go back to some songs.
Very 60's lol! Enjoyed it quite a lot, wish i was at the beach somking a blunt.
Not my favorite Fleetwood Mac recorb but still really good
hell yeaaah! how can anyone not like this?
pretty fun but not really my vibe
pretty fun listen
middle of the road.. some songs were nice others i almost couldn't listen through. idk very 80's tho
Really fun Album tbh. won't go back to it a ton bit has some bangers
