A Christmas Gift For You From Phil Spector

All Ratings

The most 1970s thing ever - 9 tracks, 5 of them sub 2 minutes and the others all long as hell. 3 of the long ones were pretty great though so can't rate it too low!

This album fucks. I listened to it 3 times. That's the review.

I mean, it's a pretty good album tbh. I'm keen on folky stuff anyway, but I get why Dylan polarises. At least this is relatively early so you can make the words out. I might not listen to it again, but I enjoyed it just fine!

Toyed between a 3 and a 4 and settled on 4. While I'm unlikely to re-listen to it, the album was brilliant, exquisitely put together and clearly a masterpiece. My 5s are for records that I add to the rotation, and my bar for "I liked this but won't listen to it again probably" was gonna be 3, but I think I have to give this the extra mark for excellence. In hindsight, I should have done the same for Highway 61 Revisited but there you go.

Pretty good!

Meh. Very forgettable. One or two tracks were fine but mostly I didn't really enjoy this.

This was.. not my thing. I did not enjoy it and would not recommend it.

I enjoyed it, Juxtaposed With U is a classic and the rest of the album was pleasant

I didn't listen to it but fuck Phil Spector on principle

To be clear, Sledgehammer is a 6. The rest of the album was a lot of 2-3, so on balance a 3 seems fine, though I considered a 4. Very decent 80s pop, enjoyed it fine, aside from Sledgehammer nothing I'd cue up again (and tbh I prefer the live version of Sledgehammer anyway :P)

Great OG hip-hop. Really clean, laid back early 90s vibe. Loved it.

So, I'm not a Beatles fan, but this album started with taxman and Eleanor rigby and I was kinda going "maybe I was wrong about them". Then we had extremely boring standard Beatles fare and yellow FUCKING submarine. No. Back in your boxes. Look, it was fine and the high points were excellent but also I want to give this a 2. 3 is probably a fair reflection though and I'm likely just being a hater

lovely lovely lovely

I don't care for country music. This is fine, but I can't get through it.

Dull, dull, god it was dull.

I expected to enjoy this more than I did.
