As I understand, it's a classic of it's genre, which would pave the way for future british music, and I can kinda respect that. But it's not music that I usually enjoy and I felt that it kinda droned on, especially in the beginning. Most interesting songs for me were probably Chemical World, Villa Rosie and Resigned, which probably says more about my music taste than the album lol
*looks at album title again* Yep, sure is.
Jokes aside, the songs are very lovely and have a perfect traveling vibe. Big Iron outshines the rest of the album, unfortunately. El Paso and The Hanging Tree are some other nice songs.
I might've enjoyed this album more if I was at any other stage of my life. Instead I just felt kinda annoyed at the lack of energy and how down-in-the-dumps it was. I actually think there are some interesting melodies on this album, but having to listen to Michael Stipe tell me how much life sucks got old halfway through the album.
I don't think Morisette has had much impact in Sweden, because it wasn't a name I recognized at first. Very nice album though! Ironic was the one song I had heard before (of course), but I liked You Oughta Know as well. Will try to listen to this album again when I'm less busy.
I actually really enjoyed this! I love small progression things like these where the artists keep layering beats on top of each other, until it cumulates into the finish. To me, this is perfect background music while I'm doing tasks that require me to be slightly, but not completely focused. Admittedly, I wouldn't want to listen to this all the time, but definitely something I'll throw on while doing basketball statistics or boring paperwork. Favorite songs were Get Innocuous!, Somone Great and Sound of Silver.
It's difficult for me to tate Dylan's music since I don't know enough about the historical context of his songs. Having read a bit about this recording, I think you can definitely tell the shift in tone between the acoustic parts and the electric parts, but I can't tell if it's necessarily for the "better" or if I find the added instruments more interesting. Ultimately it's more of a historical album, and I can respect that. Not a big fan of Dylan as a vocalist though, and I had to hold myself back from laughing while listening to She Belongs to Me.
Feels like the entire album is made up of mixing two songs together and seeing what comes out. I can definitely tell how this would inspire future rock music and I think there's a lot of interesting melodies on the album. But a lot of it was just kinda cacophonous to me and I struggled to keep up. Cool concept album from a historical context, but hard for me to listen to.
I really should listen to Stevie Wonder more often. Incredible album from start to finish.
Songs for every part of the relationship. I actually enjoyed this album more than I expected, but I think it has more to do with how pop music doesn't really sound like this anymore. I did feel some nostalgia for the 2000's though, so I guess it means I'm that old now.
Another album that I feel like I have to rate higher due to historical context. Not that I didn't enjoy it, but I feel like I prefer newer types of electronic music over this. Can't however deny that this paved the way for modern electro.
It's amazing what kinda lyrics you can get away with as long as you have an excellent singing voice and a great orchestra backing you up. Fun songs that make me wanna get up and dance around.
Wasn't super in the mood for Soundgarden today, but Black Hole Sun and Spoonman are bangers any day of the week
I don't know what I expected from this album, but Come To My Aid surprised me and it just went on from there. I kinda liked this album actually, but it was mostly background music for me and nothing I needed to pay attention to, despite some of the lyrics desperately trying to grab my attention. Honestly the album felt fine to me, but I also remember very little about it a day later, so that probably says something about the songs.
