Ladies And Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space

Popular Reviews

Hot Buttered Soul

Isaac Hayes · 1 likes

4/5

Slightly sinister and soulful start! Love it - so much butter, so much soul! I probably don’t need the ‘…Phoenix’ intro again but it was cool to hear this time. The rest of the song though is amazing. Now I get the Isaac Hayes love! The musicians are full of magic here

Shadowland

5/5

These are powerful and beautiful interpretations of some classic country tunes. If you ever see kd perform live, you’ll get an understanding of just how powerful her instrument really is and how records can’t really capture it all.

Kind Of Blue

Miles Davis

5/5

We all know or have an idea of what jazz sounds like but before this album it likely was a lot harder to define. This sounds ground breaking and amazing

Doolittle

Pixies

5/5

I think the only song I have heard before was Here Comes Your Man which is surprising because I was into a lot of alternative music at the time of this release. It sounds energetic as hell and brimming with cool sounds, ideas and lyrics

Grace

Jeff Buckley

3/5

I think I’ve only ever heard the Hallelujah cover so I’m interested and curious to hear why the album got mixed reviews and now seems to have been reexamined and reevaluated. The opener Mojo Pin sounded like 2 or 3 songs which was interesting and good but the second song, Grace, for whatever reason, I immediately disliked. Lilac Wine is very pretty and sweet sounding and a couple of these songs are great and a couple are just insufferable. How did Corpus Christi Carol make it on? I’m surprised at how uneven this all is. Definitely some major moments and some terrible misfires for me. Undeniable talent

Ladies And Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space

Spiritualized

5/5

Noisy and soaring and sinking and floating and screaming and laughing and tender and raw and that’s life! How have I never heard of this before now? Deep shame over that and lots of love for the thought and creativity and skill and chutzpah that forced this into being.

Bossanova

Pixies

3/5

I was not maybe in the right frame to hear this today. I liked about 3 songs and found the rest pretty annoying

Axis: Bold As Love

Jimi Hendrix

5/5

Revelatory! So many ideas and I feel like if he’d wanted to, Jimi could have turned each of those songs into an album long track. Brimming. I will listen again and to more since I really knew a couple of the famous tracks but not much else. This generator list is making me reevaluate my previously held view of myself as well listened - there is a lot I’ve missed

evermore

Taylor Swift

5/5

While I’ve enjoyed some of Taylor’s hits along the way, I’m not an album by album listener. This is a really pleasing record with some funny and clever lyrics and songs that definitely want to be heard again. I find it difficult to enjoy listening to people who for whatever reason are overexposed, analyzed and everywhere all the time. The less I know about Taylor and most artists, the more I’m free to just enjoy their music

I like the way this sounds new and classic at the same time

Kick Out The Jams (Live)

MC5

4/5

Such a kick ass live performance. You can feel and hear the energy and urgency and what blows me away is imagining how explosive this must have sounded like at the time. There are nods and love for what came before but a propulsion forward that kicks open the doors for what’s to come.

The Wildest!

Louis Prima

3/5

Fun and lively although even the shorter songs seem a fair bit longer. Would be great if this was the band at your house party in the middle of summer

Pacific Ocean Blue

Dennis Wilson

3/5

The first song was really enjoyable and the next few don’t feel like they were fully ready to be committed to tape. Then comes the song Time which immediately sounds different and interesting and makes me want more. I love that there are several sides to Mr Wilson on offer here but while some tracks trail off before they’ve reached their destination, others are allowed to go on perhaps a bit longer than they need to.

Beauty And The Beat

The Go-Go's

3/5

Loved this fun power pop-y album when it came out and it’s a lot of fun to hear some of the brilliance it had again. It has to be remembered that no other ‘girl group’ had hit the top of the charts writing and performing on their own steam like this before. Way to go GoGo’s!

Warehouse: Songs And Stories

Hüsker Dü

Seventeen Seconds

The Cure

4/5

Loving hearing this album again even if the first track sounds a bit like baby goths learning their instruments.

Black Holes and Revelations

Muse

4/5

I’m a fool for you now Muse. Thank you for the bombast and tenderness, the transitions within and between songs and for kicking life back into me today. Fresh and timeless is not easy to pull off.

3/5

I can appreciate the vibe and appeal and definite talent. If I was in a pub and he was playing in the corner it probably be just lovely. As it is, winter weather has me inside and with 3 songs still to go, it feels like I have been listening for a day and a night already. Apart from some tempo shifts, it sounds quite the same through.

Some really excellent moments but as with most things, a bit of an edit would have helped. A strong debut with occasional ragged sounding vocals but undeniable talent and foreshadowing of more great things to come
