Someone's been in my room and taken my beers away from my room. I think that's exactly how I felt listening to this. Super early gritty black sabbath, absolutely gorgeous and I love how the guitars sound, especially in Under the Sun, just some great riffs.
I mean I am not a huge jazz fan and I DEFINITELY did not like all of the songs on this album, but I think if you want something that is good for like a Christmas party or get together with friends and you want something in the background for good noise, this would provide it
Considering there was songs on here that I actually knew it was an enjoyable listen. I never really listened to any other Springsteen songs other than the mainstream ones, but the full album was actually a good listen. I am sad that Jeremy Allen White didn't sing though.
Honestly, I have not really listened to all that many albums all the way through, and this was one of my first. On top of that, it was a classic blues album, which I have never really sat down to listen. This may be one of my new favorite cooking music genres, especially starting with this album, it was absolutely amazing. From the grungy vocals to the phenomenal harmonica, I found myself wanting more even after the 49 minute time of the album. If someone was looking for an album to start with in the blues genre, this is what I would recommend. Just blown away.
I mean personally I don't think I would every listen and like go out of my way to listen to an album like this, but it was still super enjoyable. I think the fun music throughout with the vibrant energy and the live track played into the enjoyment a lot. I felt myself humming along or bouncing with the loud trumpets and drums. Really solid.
It was pretty decent but kinda airy?
It was like ASMR but I wanted to kill myself the entire time
It felt like I was listening to a punky "The Clash: vibe sometimes, with other songs being like Johnny Cash but like he wasn't really trying and breathing heavy into the mic LOL but I did like it enough to listen, just wasn't the BIGGEST fan in the world.
I mean it was fine, honestly I was expecting worse when I saw some other reviews LOL. I think the songs for me kinda blended together too much, like I didn't even realize that the album ended when the songs continued. I think this can be a blessing and a curse, where if all of the songs are good that it can feel like its just banger after banger. I think in this case, all the songs were just like mid throughout. I felt like I was listening to a reaaaallly slow twangy blues country album, which is pretty much what I expected coming in. Overall, not my favorite country music but I think I came out happier than what I expected coming in.
I've never really listened to Joni Mitchell a lot. My mom always said she was a favorite when she was in college, and I can see why. This album was just a joy to listen to. I feel like the swells in the music, especially in Down to You were super enjoyable. I also love whenever strings or brass is in music, and the use in the album wasn't crazy to take over the song, but really complimented well throughout.
It was just punky and funky enough. It was a really enjoyable listen, with at least 3 songs I already knew and loved, but I definitely felt like I could come back and listen to it again without a problem.
This was a tough one to rate. I mean objectively I have never really heard of anything like it. It almost felt like I was listening to some pop from like Elton John, but if they also happened to run into the music from like Phantom of the Opera and they had a baby and played the music together. Super unique sound that I haven't really heard before. I don't think I would come back to listen to it again, but if it was on in the background of like a theater party it would be perfect.
I've only ever listened to mainstream songs from R.E.M. and I have to say this as a first album to get more into their discography was super enjoyable. I think one of my favorite songs was Catapult.
Unexpectedly fun to listen to. I don't think I knew any pixies songs BESIDES Where is my Mind, and I was super impressed listening to this. Big fan.
So I always heard from my dad that Madonna was the "it" of the 80s and 90s, but honestly I mean while it was good it wasn't my favorite. Maybe because it just isn't my favorite genre / style? It was a very close race between a 3 and a 4 but I think it was 1 song away from being a 4.
Yeah there was definitely sitar and some music was definitely played here. I would give it a 1 but the sitar playing was decent enough that it wasn't unlistenable.
LORD KNOWS I CAN'T CHANGE
JAMES BROWN. JAMES BROWN. JAMES BROWN.
I know everyone really loves him.... I really didn't like it too much I am just not a low fi fan usually either ._.
I mean the first album was alright but this was like all over the place and was super flat and boring and will be very forgettable
I THOROUGHLY enjoyed my listen to this album. Every song is unique in it's own way, and you definitely aren't bored listening to any of the songs. They somehow blend together super nicely, and the plucky guitar in each song is always fun to listen to.
Was definitely not the worst thing I have listened to, but pretty boring
I mean it was just banger after banger after banger
It felt like I was listening to an old movie but only told through music. Very cool. *insert image of cats cooking*
Some of the songs made me feel like I was sitting on the side of the street at a cafe in Cuba, while others made me wanna get up and dance. GREAT mix in here and super fun to listen to.
So. Always loved Frank Sinatra mainstream songs. However. Listening to this was definitely an experience. With tracks like You Make Me Feel So Young alongside Pennies From Heaven and I've Got You Under My Skin, it's hard to fully dislike this album. With that being said, songs like Makin' Whoopee and Swingin' Down The Line were pretty boring and wasn't a huge fan. Overall, strong start with some okay songs in between a few other bangers.
Super grungy. Made me feel like I was listening to them in a back alley for a free concert. Cool but wouldn’t go back for it
I think tracks B and C were the best, and the first and last ones were a little too chaotic for me. Good jazzy vibes for sure.
You know that once scene in cars where Mac is driving on the highway and the fun cars pull up and play music and its like slow jazz or something and Mac gets tired and goes "Sleepy tunes"? That is how I would describe this album. SO boring.
Wow. I mean just WOW. Not one bad or uninteresting song on the album. I REALLY loved As and Another Star, both amazing, and of COURSE Sir Duke and I Wish are top on the list. Would be HAPPY to come back to this album over and over again.
She definitely drives a fast car
I mean don't get me wrong it was certainly interesting, but really not my style of music. Not a huge fan but also could listen and not absolutely hate it.
Had no idea that these guys were the ones that did Black Hole Sun, but a lot of really cool sounds and songs on here, really enjoyed. Would round up to a 4.5 if I could but there could have been a little more like ingenuity throughout that I think would have bumped it up.
Felt like I was whimsying through a forest
Good but... not QUITE my tempo
I mean the album was OK but really not a fan of the whole second half with the experimental yelling vibes. There was a few decent tracks and good riffs, but did not enjoy it a lot.
Pretty much every song on here was great. Loved the slow guitar throughout, and felt like a little bit of John Denver mixed throughout. Only reason this isn't getting a 5 is because I really didn't love the last 2 songs.
Such a fun listen. Felt like I was there listening to him. A lot of repetition so it will not be getting a 5, but still fun.
I mean what isn't to like about this album? I've only ever heard some of the songs from this album, like Back to Black obviously, but after listening to it in full I would absolutely go back again and again. The lyrics are great, the songs are fantastic, and they mesh together well without sounding like the same thing repeated over and over.
Couldn't wait for it to be over. Did not like it at all.
I mean there were some decent tracks on here, but nothing really to ride home about. None of them meshed super well together so it felt a little disjointed.
Some great takes on good songs but nothing super crazy
Such an amazing album overall. Not much can be said about it. Nearly every song is a banger and a lot of my personal favorites like Got To Get You Into My Life and Yellow Submarine are on here.
I really wish I liked this album more than I actually did. School's Out and Public Animal were really good tracks, but besides that it was a little all over the place. Cool sounds but a little too mixed for me to rate it higher then a 3 or 3.5.
I mean it was ok background music but couldn't tell you one name of one song soooooo 2/5
I mean obviously an iconic album of the time shaping two of some of the biggest songs in history, but other than that it fails to capture a lot of my attention. Solid 80's album, but nothing super crazy.
Wish it would've kept going. Really liked both the first and second half. Didn't think I have ever heard the type of sound they made like folk rock almost the second half, really liked Tangerine and Bron-Y-Aur-Stomp specifically.
Not necessarily intolerable but not exactly my favorite.
I mean there is definitely some good iconic songs on the album but that's about it. Almost felt like I had the same song on repeat for over an hour.
REALLY liked this one. N.Y and Satellites were really beautiful.
Great guitar, great songs, what else can be said.
I really do wish I could rate this higher, but it just DIDN'T blow my mind. I was on the verge of maybe like a high 3.8 or 4 if there was another 1 or 2 songs that really stood out, but nothing really did in the second half for me.
Definitely gave me like Phil Collins vibes but if he just didn't really want to make the music all that bad. In Your Eyes a classic though.
I mean listen, there is a lot of great songs on here, very experimental and each song is unique, but I don't think I can give it a 5/5. If I could, I would rate a 4.5 out of 5 but I just don't think it had the WOW factor that it would need to push it up. I can totally respect that this was a crazy influential album, and still is, but saying that it's one of the best albums of all time, let alone the best I think is a little far fetched. God Only Knows and Wouldn't It Be Nice my favs.
I felt like I was listening to a talented storyteller. Really enjoyed this one.
Never really listened to a LOT of The Who besides a lot of the mainstream, and this didn't completely blow me away. I think it was a little long for what it was, but knowing the other stuff they did this wasn't their best.
Really great lo-fi guitar album. Would listen to this again 100%. Not really something I would find in my rotation daily, but really solid.
I thought it was decent blues. Noting absolutely extraordinary or breathtaking, but solid.
What an interesting album. Mariachi, Opera, tango, and many other styles can be seen here and honestly it was pretty fun. I feel like some people would hate this but I actually enjoyed the change ups.
It changed a little more throughout than I think I would have liked a normal album too, but it also stayed fresh for me throughout. Not completely boring but not the most exciting ever either.
It was fine but too much grunge is too much
The more I listened the worse it got. Not horrific but not enjoyable.
This was a cool one. Indie and punky and it was definitely Clash coded.
I liked this one more than the first
It was meh. Not a huge fan
I honestly had no idea that he was in the White Stripes band, and I have never heard and of his songs before, but honestly solid album. Enjoyed it enough the whole way through to justify the 3, but not crazy to give it a 4.
It was fine. Little TOO all over the place for my taste personally.
I was a Swift hater for a long time. Didn't want to conform to the ways of music. But I have to say after listening to it... I can't be anymore. I will say, definitely a lot of boring songs on here, but with willow, champagne problems, evermore, right where you left me, and it's time to go, it's hard to hate on this album. I WILL say it's not perfect which is why it's not getting a 5. I think maybe if I relistened to it and listened to the lyrics which I know is what people say makes this album great may change my perspective. Really enjoyed it more than I thought I would though.
Yeah I mean if you like music to listen to when you're high this is a pretty good listen, I really liked Broken Heart a lot and I think the mix of different instruments throughout kept me fairly engaged
