Not really vibin' with it. Some catchy pop hooks. Dreamy synth sounds. Like that, but is largely "not for me".
"Dreaming of the Queen" is the stand out so far. "One and One Makes Five" is also alright. I can hear how this album was influential.
I was never particularly enthused by the album... then, while I love Bowie's singles, I've never really had a whole album resonate with me. "Heroes" is an all-timer and I adore "Moss Garden" as a bit of ambience, but the rest of the album I could miss.
Initial impressions: I don't care for it.
Alright. As a Bowie album I find it more listenable overall, but it lacks in my mind a killer single to elevate it. Feels like background music overall so it all balances out I guess.
Generally alright. I could toss this on in the background. Enjoyable. Inoffensive. Isn't really gripping me.
"You Can't Love'em All" is a banger though. Great track. Was the only one to really jump out at me, but in general I was whelmed by the album.
That cover of "Across the Universe" is wack. "Low" is good. In general, I don't really care for early Bowie nor have I really like his albums. Love his singles... could do with a Changes, haha.
Never listened to Neil Young before. Or, if I have, I was never aware it was Neil Young. Can't say that I really recognize any of these songs... but perhaps some were vaguely familiar?
Anyways, pleasantly surprised. Don't know what I was expecting, but I quite enjoyed this. Young's voice is a bit reedy in some tracks, hard to listen to. Overall, though, very listenable album.
There are moments where I'm really digging what's going on and then the music gets weirdly cacophonous or discordant and it takes me right out. I can what Bush is doing, but it's not for me. I say this as someone who generally likes post-punk and experimental stuff, but eh, you don't have to love it all.
Winehouse has a great voice. And the drums on this album are consistently good. Like them on "You Know I'm No Good" best. "Love is a Losing Game" is also solid.
I liked Frank as an album better than this. If I could give Frank a 3.5, I would. I'd much rather listen to "Cherry" or "Magic Man" than what's here. It's fine. All fine, I've just come to the realization that I'm not a big Amy Winehouse fan. Her music is Not For Me.
Has some bangers ("Real Slim Shady") but as an album I never really dug it. I don't like "Stan"... so...
Brilliant album. Whole thing is a bop. Helluva debut album, damn. Revisiting it has been a joy.
