woo classic rock guitar solos
not quite frenetic but definitely gets you going
okkkk robert smith
not the biggest fan of the man’s voice, but the sound of the band is so atmospheric and hollow (?) in a good way
karen carpenter has the voice of a freaking angel. like john denver. it’s just so pure and clear.
feel like this would be a good car album. super 70s.
“We’ve Only Just Begun”
“Crescent Noon”
“Mr. Guder”
straight 50's fire
what a VOICE
some of the songs are so silly goofy in a good way :^)
dude are you kidding
goated album, no notes, perfection
if you think wonderwall is overrated and isn't the PERFECT pop song, you are factually incorrect
only real fans know that the B-sides are as good or even better than the official tracklist
I WANT MORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - Noel Gallagher
pretty cool trip hop for the first couple of songs. that one song with sex lyrics and moaning REALLY ruins this album though. the back half of the album is weaker than the first half.
a bunch of british boys being british and making guitar music and being silly, but make it 60s
I can see why you his album is influential (the production and effects) but didn’t really get into it
classic CCR!!! it’s so funny to think about how John Fogerty is singing about being “born in the bayou” when the band is literally from San Francisco.
my longstanding gripe about CCR though is that after a while, the songs start melding together and sounding the same… they have one sound and then stick to it. but I’m not ruling out that this is a “me” issue.
wow I really liked this album! I have never heard of Lloyd Cole before, but I really enjoyed the jangly sound of these songs. sort of Smiths-y but without Morissey’s grating voice and self-absorbed lyrics LOL.
peep the lyrics here too, I’ll have to read deeper into the literary references
FIRE classic rock album, sort of bluesy and ultra cool
how have I never heard of these guys either??
“bad company” by bad company on the album bad company
okay I can see why people get REALLY into metal. not for me personally, but the guitar solos are still sick as hell
okay actually a fire album. major Elliott Smith vibes (cue Good Will Hunting). suuuper indie which is not what I always want to listen to, but this is awesome for what it is.
I enjoyed this! the title song "Night Life" was my favorite, starts the album off strong. fantastic instrumentation, with the steel guitar, bass line, and piano accompaniments. I love Ray Price's voice too, that sort of deep, round baritone that reverberates across the entire room. you can totally imagine sitting in the corner of a darkened small-town bar with Price and the band livening up the entire place... the only thing is that I think the songs sort of meld into a single sound and aren't quite distinct from each other, but perhaps honky-tonk isn't quite the genre for me haha, at least most of the time!
the album that got me into Neil Young. EVERY song is a banger. falls into the expansive genre of wounded white male music LOL (why is this genre so good though, please tell me), but it's straight up fire. a perfect album for any time, but man, a solo walk outside in the autumn with this album on is a great time.
I think the first time I heard "The Needle and the Damage Done," it altered my brain chemistry. also, fun fact, it was recorded at Royce Hall?!
love the balanced instrumentation on these songs too... the fuzzy heavy guitar tone, the harmonica, the drums and bass... Neil Young is just a treasure
