- hell yea chill n ambient n percussiony instrumental intro
- gender envy vocals
- hooting and howling is a great name for a track
- accent is funky, hard to pick up exactly what they're saying but i like it
- male vocalist sounds like the guy from bakenaked ladies?
- bakenaked ladies if they did ambient post rock
- "when im sleepy" another great name
- bakenaked ladies meets mika? meets foals? whoah
- "we still got the taste dancing on our tongues" has the catchiest chorus so far
- ooh underbelly is so ethereal with its little chimes
- WHAT what an abrupt ending what i had to go back and replay that the chimes were so nice and then SNIP gone next some heres some drums
- "he cried out" in through the iron gate damn mika got VOCALS
- i like the guitar in this track
- ooh that instrumental fade is nice
overall good! sounds very coherent throughout, maybe a bit too much so where tracks kinda blend together. its very ambient post rock in that regard which i like! no crazy highs like explosions in the sky and it kinda just stays at a certain level where it feels like youre about to go over the top of the roller coaster but it never dips down too intensely.
soubour
- oh shit that guitar riff at the beginning hell yea brother

Al Hassidi Terei

- sound reminds me a bit of the end of the f***ing world soundtrack
Sekou Oumarou
- oooh a little slower than the others so far
- didn't pop off like i expected but its alright

- ooh hell yea makes me want to drive around in a convertible on a hot day
Ai Tchere Bele
- ooh slow intro that gets absolutely fuuuunky
- the rhythm in this one is dope
Wayei
- ooh the vocalizations in this one are cool

10/10
The Headmaster
- classic guitar intro
- ooh the vocals ooh nannanana yayayy are real nice
- repetitive, but i feel like its just opening the door to the rest of the album
Rusholme Ruffians
- ooh LOVE that riff
- can definitely hear some of that "heaven knows i'm miserable now" in the way the singer plays with their vocals
- outro is cool, like a mechanical switching of songs
I Want the One I Can't Have
- oh hell yea, sad beachy vibes for sure
- beach vibes, car chase, probably my favorite track out of the 3 so far
What She Said
- nice rockin intro
- vocals are such a contrast to the instrumentals; they're so upbeat and then you have the melancholic vocals, especially in this track. i can see why they have such a cult following!
That Joke Isn't Funny
- now theeeese are the instrumentals i'd expect with these kind of vocals, slower and moodier
- oh whoah, just when the song i think is over it fades back in from the dead where it left off, really cool
Nowhere Fast
- doesn't stand out too much from the rest for me it feels like
Well I Wonder
- back to slower and sad
- well, vocals are sad, instrumentals are chill and kinda soft/beachy in parts
Barbarism Begins at Home
- love the instrumentals
- love the dog barks into the mic hahaha kinda unexpected but not unpleasant
- my guy likes his drawn out outros
- bass is dope at the end
Meat is Murder
- as a long time vegetarian; respect lol
- like the distortion, sounds pretty different to anything else so far
- COWS ?
- first song i've heard that is so pro vegetarian, its cool
- can't tell if its a kid, a woman or a pitched version of his vocals in the background but its giving me babe vibes which add to the vegetarianess of it all
- dang this song came out of left field yet is the title track? maybe the rest of the album is what's out of left field
despite being a tumblr kid of the 2010s, i've never listened to a smiths album back to back. i like the instrumentals a LOT, and the messaging and lyrics are dope too! however i don't think i jive well with the lead's vocals, which is too bad as i like the juxtaposition between the upbeat instrumentals and the sad vocals. there's just something thats like can "they put the mic away for a sec? i want to hear more of the isntruments!" all in all alright album, not a fave but don't hate it either.
alright classic mj! never heard this album in full so here we goooo
Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough
- YEAHHH DISCO a classic
- that instumental break feels like a precursor to thriller
- boy do i love it when an album fades out one instrument at a time OOH
- no notes
Rock With You
- OOH love this sound
- man hearing this makes me miss hearing more of a variety of instuments in modern music
- like that trumpet? french horn? idk but whatever it is it adds such texture
- LOVE
Workin' Day and Night
- honestly no notes again this is such a VIBE
Get on the Floor
- THAT BASS wwoowow
- ooh that lower register is nice
- OOOH that shaker, "whatchagobegah" "GETTUP" part YEAAA
Off the Wall
- very chill
- insteresting that this one is the title track, it's fun but it doesn't stick out as much as the others to me
Girlfriend
- O O OH slower, smoooth
- YESSS i love a good saxophone
- romantic hehe
She's Out of My Life
- we slowing WAYY down to a ballad
- his vocals are out of this world
I Can't Help It
- is it weird to say i feel like this is one of the tracks that the people who oversaw the production of sonic the hedgehog 3 back in early 90s and were like "lets get him on board- yes THIS is the vibe we want"
- in short: smooth, groovy, moody, YES
It's The Falling in Love
- OH this album don't quit
- that guitar ooof
- man bring back instrumentals like THIS
Burn This Disco
- man this whole album is so cool
all in all: INCREDIBLE album. you can hear how this album still influences artists to this day 40+ years later. i really wonder what fans of his back then thought when his next few albums went a little more pop and less disco after this one- was it controversial? anyways, instant five stars!
- bombastic intro damn
- can kinda hear the you are my sunshine riff in there (bye bye love)
- song already sounds like a time capsule smoooth
- old disney movie love story vibes really nice
- man instrumentals were something else back in the day
- very cozy
- that saxophone is *chefs kiss*
- perfect winter album from these songs so far, so nostalgic and warm
- whole album is so romantic, so much yearning
very sweet album, brings me to another place and time. i was expecting country but am pleasantly surprised! how can you not love something as sweet as this?
whoah what an album cover- WAIT 4 songs and its still 40+ minutes? oh these guys mustve been VIBING recording this one
- this is exactly the vibe i was expecting and im not disappointed at all
- funky weird beats oh yeah
and just like that its over! i've been looking for jazzy instrumental playlists with this kinda vibe to listen to while i work, but with the rise of AI taking over those kinda of "vibe while you work" instrumental playlists i haven't looked for them in a while.... so dope that there's a whole album like this!! love it
another album i've never heard the whole way through! here we go
- lmao the spoken intro is a whole audio story
- raunchy as i expected
- THE WBALLS RADIO AD iconic
- yup this is snoop dogg
- "what do you want to be when you grow up" "a motherfuckin hustler" lmao
- really like the little dialogue bits
- feels like an anticlimactic end to a pretty wild album
totally get why snoop got the following he did. i finally feel like a real stoner
- guitar rift reminds me of "are we the waiting" by green day
- du du du du du dooo , fluffy, chill
- ("hit") what am i listening to what
- everything has sounded so chill and samey up until this point huh
- i was just thinking damn i would've loved this album in 2014 during my indie rock obsession but now it just falls flat for me
- but maybe things will change from here after this track?
- "kill surf city" HUH same thing it goes from a guitar riff to distortion? things are spicing up
- now we in the demonic screams part of the album
- is it weird that its making me like this more
- demonic cumming now
- how did we get here
- and then we go full circle back to indie chill
- okay
- this was.... an album lol
first time i'm listening to a metallica album all the way through! lets gooo
- i can't unhear matt and try parker in the first song
- and the second song
- and the third song
- also sounds like strong bad from homestar runner??
- "do you hear what i hear" YES and its matt and trey parker/the chapman brothers, etc
- instrumentals are bangin though, especially "one" (heard before ofc, i think it was on guitar hero?)
overall i get why metallica is as famous and beloved as they are, but i think the amount of parodies of metallica i've heard over the years has kind of taken away from the magic a little bit for me
OHH okay here we go, i loved a couple of songs from their 2009 album!
- oh i LOVE her vocals
- "Dangerous" and "Say Something Loving" were a different sound than i expected, but then "Lips" played and it was like OH okay this is what i think of when i think of the xx
- the vibes of "A Violent Noise" brings me back to my early 20s, really nostalgic
- OH that synth line after the chorus on "Replica" my goodness
- "Brave For You" is so ethereal, her vocals and guitar on this track is so lovely
- "On Hold" ooh like the layering of disjointed vocals
- the last track, "Test Me", feels like i am walking through my consciousness
all in all, both what i expected and not! and i'm going to be that person, but it was SO nice listen to some non-male vocals after a long stretch of only men. four songs in and i threw this album in my saved list on spotify- will definitely listen to again :)
- ooh whimsical intro
- feels like im a bird flying through a bustling coastal city in the 70s
- WHOAH love those keys? that synth line? whatever it is i love it
- ooh going into the next track, sequencing the last song as it transitions into the new
- is that a horse neighing?
- this feels like an alternate version of daft punk's discovery, but if it had a disco-y baby with fat boy slim. i'm LOVING this
NO NOTES i'm super biased as i love this kind of poppy, electronic sequencey music. it instantly transports me to a different place and time and is a dopamine machine the whole way through. loved and saved to my library!
no idea what to expect here we gooo
- ooh snazzy
- brings you to another time, woo
- everything was so cool and jazzy up until this point but i gotta admit not a fan of "Free Form Guitar" (so noisy and distorted- which i dont mind, but this sounds like a sound check gone wrong, first time i skipped a song halfway through in this challenge)
all in all not really my vibe
