Really liked this album. Indeed, it's a classic. Many parts feel straight out of a movie and the entire thing flows together very nicely. I give it a 4 out of 5 just because a lot of the album is not something I would listen to regularly; a little bit too "loud," and several verses felt repetitive, but it's definitely unique and worthy of a spot on your list.
Mesmerizing, tight grooves with great horn arrangements. I enjoyed reading about the sociopolitical history surrounding Fela and all he went through in his life.
Initial track Secondhand News is overly poppy, nice harmonies though. However, this is just about the only track that I don't like on this album. Just about every song is a hit. Definitely worth being on this list. Stevie Nix's voice is awesome.
First track has a poppy, tinny sounds to it. Backup vocals are pretty energetic. Second track is a classic. Money money money is a popular track. I largely dislike the sound of this group. I think it’s the genre and the bouncy teeny bopper kind of sound.
Cool, unique sound that was later adopted by much of Motown. I really like the sound.
Raunchy and crude, but wow, what solid beats. 3.7
Fantastic album! What a voice and incredible songwriting. I will listen to this one multiple times, for sure!
Edgy. Catchy. Love the female vocals. Very punk, I guess called "New Wave." I really love the sound. Very distinctive. Not much variability throughout the album though. Grooves sound very much the same from track to track.
Great energy! Classic bluesy grooves and funky vocals.
Excellent album. I love their sound. Timeless.
Lots of fun! I love how Johnny's character comes through in the recordings.
Awesome album. Worthy of a 5 in my mind.
I really liked this! Very cool sound.
3.8. I'm not a huge hip hop fan, but this album is solid. I like the cleanliness and clarity of the rap.
This is quality hip hop. Love the energy and the cleanliness and clarity of the rapping.
Wow. Spectacular album! Quintessential soul. I give it a 4.5!
Definitely has some hits, but I’m not a huge fan.
Love this album! One of my favorites. 4.3
Pretty creative and fun. I like the organs and classic rock sound.
Didn't love it. Found it more grating and annoying than anything else.
This one is a banger! One of the greatest jazz albums of all time. 3.8.
Very creative album. I appreciate her artistry.
Very cool. I dig.
Fantastic album! One of my very favorites!
Awesome sound. Very cool album. I'll definitely be listening to them more.
One of my favorite albums of all time. Brings me back to college in the dorms.
Cool grooves. I love the accordian!
Such an iconic sound. Love it!
Super cool sound! I will most definitely be listening again.
Wonderful album. What a sound!
Of course they revolutionized music and broke new ground, but man am I NOT a fan of the Beatles. I would never put this album on to listen casually. The whole thing just kind of sounds square to me.
Classic sound.
If you want to feel anxious, listen to this album. These musicians have chops, but nothing about this album was enjoyable to me.
Can't get into this. I'd like to but I just don't dig it.
I love "No Cars Go," but can't say I'm a huge fan of the rest of the album. Definitely a unique sound, but most of the songs just aren't doing it for me.
I dig. It's giving me Dylan vibes.
The best!
Didn't love it. Unsettling.
Very cool. Creative. I dig.
Wow! What a talented band. I love this album. It's so dynamic, the harmonies are absolutely beautiful, and the band is incredibly tight.
