One foot in the 80s, one in the 90s. Plenty of light jam and pop harmonies. Should have been on the Friends soundtrack. Goes from pop to jazz to funky, a great listen.
Wild how many absolute hits were on this album, couple of stinkers but a genre defining album with massive hit appeal.
Raw and filthy, hard not to love it but certainly the times have changed, lots makes you uncomfortable, that was kind of the point. The constant back and forth between Dre and Snoop makes even the lesser known classics absolute bangerz.
Gets better and quite good by the end, but the first few tracks don't do the album justice.
Five star classic from front to back. Honest, raw, fun, memorable. An actual album, and a damn good one, not just a collection of random punk tracks.
Starts fun, then crooner/sad. Classic honky tonky lighthearted country, followed by some love songs.
Fun but not my cup of tea. Varied! Some joni mitchell esque numbers too.
Some absolute hits and everything listenable, I remember being blown away by this album when it dropped, and it's aged pretty well.
Covers but his voice and style are so iconic is carries the whole thing
Clear voice, great melodies.
Chill, happy flow.
Really good, poppy, gritty at times, lyrically complex, really good.
Light and breezy harmonies. Great cover of 'go west'
Had much of what made later Aerosmith great, but peters out by the end.
Irish jams, a mumford band. Turkish song of the damned was fun.
Fun, unexpected brit new wave fun.
Light and breezy, chill rock. Feels like a direct precursor to jack johnson type "vibes". A pleasant listen.
Haunting and truly goth in the original sense.
Not their best work, some haunting melodies but no earworms
Her vocal chops shine through the most on the tracks you've never heard. Better than I remember.
Track to track, a pop delight. Cindi's 4 octive range shines on classics, and her cover of Prince's 'when you were mine' is a perennial favorite. A perfect pop album.
Some massive hits, some classic crude interludes, some surprise funk. A early hip hop classic.
solid hip hop, catchy, the good stuff.
Enjoyable, fun really. An air of fun and newness and lightness and inside jokes.
Fun cover of 'let's spend the night together'. Solid album I've somehow never heard.
Fun, post punk new wave, couple of fun tracks (dany a stand-out)
Immediately grabs you. So many deeply meaningful, moving songs. A masterclass in intent.
Absolute classic, beautiful clear vocals and harmonies.
Light and breezy, fun folks, garden state esque
Solid album overall, but how do you rate an album with a world-changing, once in a generation moment defining song like 'imagine'?
Whoooose that lady? Banger after banger.
An easy listen. Solid blend of harmonies. powerful, breathy vocals, beach guitar vibes. A real jam.
Solid album with songs I didn't know were later covered by other bands.
Smooth vocals, pure talent, great album.
Unexpected, a solid listen. Fantastic guitar, solid vocals.
Funky, fun, and real. A breath of fresh (dank) air when it dropped, and an original sound that reverberates throughout this album
Solid jam. U2 vibes? David Bowie vibes!
Powerful voice. Definitely a theme album ,carried by 'let's get it on'. Romance.
Solid post-punk rock, catchy, fun hooks.
Solid and noisy and didn't grab me.
Solid album, strong vocals, sometimes poingent lyrics.
Fun, funky sound. Catchy lyrics. Really strong , really good.
Old standards feeling, big band swing, what a voice!
Very solid country tunes from a singer I've never heard of.
Good musicianship, lots of genres, fun and exhuberent
The definition of a five-star album, stellar first outing from the Darkness.
Bangers after bangers
At first it's hopping back and forth between rock and folk, then some blues layers in. Unexpected, enjoyable.
Rod steward being rod steward, but also some good classic rock riffs, an enjoyable album.
Unique, it's been a while since the DJ was treated as a real musical member of a rock band. Lyrics are suprisingly deep for metal songs, then some absolute classics.
Wildly good.
Solid listen, some great songs, it was over so quickly because I was jamming and havin fun
Classic honkey tonk country
Catch, fun, and the interplay between both singers is a blast
Absolute classics, one of their best.
Fun, highly produced, sexy.
Funky, and weird. Smooth jams and weridness
Funky and fun, a great listen.
Funky, a good listen
Wide-ranging and powerful country.
Funky and fun
Phenomenal album, lyrics and rhythm.
Fun and great songs.
powerful and raw
A solid listen, good musicality, listened to the whole thing despite genre not always speaking to me.
Some great songs and some products of their time.
Some bangers and some sweet songs
Queer icon album, really good
phenomenal voice, classics
Still incredible
really good
Upeat and wide ranging
Lyrically dense, good stories, excellent tracks
Lyrically excellent portrait of a gangster. Produced by early Kanye, ridiculous good beats.
Overrated song turned into an album.
Fun and wide-ranging, a great listen. The spirit of mamba
solid
Avante garde? Great muscianship, a really fun listen.
Banger after banger, what a listen!
Raw, fun and powerful
The sampling of 'agony of de feet' and 'flashlight' was spot on! Solid r&b fun album early 90s.
Hot damn do I LOVE this album. No good (start the dance) just rocked my world when it dropped.
Easy listening, great musicianship . Not an every day listen.
Every harmony on every song was Michael, wild ability.
Fantastic listen, deep vocals, very good.
Tells a story, many stories, raw and powerful singing, heavy excellent heavy metal guitar
Exorcist soundtrack theme, ambient, driving, wide ranging instrumentals and those grunts in the middle! Really great experimental album.
Terrific album, a couple of mediocre songs balancing out a string of massive hits
New wave classic. Fun and funky and silly.
Weird and fun and cajun
Early 90s cool/acoustic guitar, light electrics. Fun and folky but angsty too. Soul asylum / 4 non-blondes, etc. He did the U2/Bono "haaaaa, haaaaaaaa" noise.
Pretty great, really listenable, light electro-synth harmonies
Upbeat, poppy, croony, 1960 standards and classics. Bridging from the 50s into the 60s. They've been covered so many times it's hard to separate it out the original from the influence.
Short but powerful, elements of the ramones, dead milkmen, dead kennedies, right in the pocket. Great. Like finding an album by your favorite band you had no idea bout but you realize has influenced all of their later work.
Upbeat temp, jazz and trumpet heavy licks, classic mid-50s sound, surprisingly funny. Didn't realize Brian Setzer covered 'Jump Jive and Wail'
Damn powerful rock opera
Ridiculous talent and upbeat music
BREAKIN THE LAW! Awesome album front to back driving rhythms and beating drums. Fun!
Jazzy and funky mambo, lots of horn, solid.
Great voice, mediocre album that kinda blends into the background.
Funky irish tunes with a fun upbeat tempo, good talent and good hooks. An enjoyable listen!
Incredible talent, catchy hooks x100
Back in the beginning, before he was nuts, he dropped a banger of an album.
Smooth and a little croony, a solid if forgettable album.
Confident talent and banger after banger. Constant little things, the shout-out to Cindy Lauper was unexpected and fun. Fresh and unpredictable and talent bleeding off tracks. Fantastic
Starts strong and continues stronger. Hit after hit, banger after banger. Hard to believe this was mid-late 80s! Phenominal. Great songwriting, slash's guitar just jumps out at you, some of the best most cleanest licks you've ever heard put to track. So good.
Upbeat and fun. Solid and forgettable.
Groovy and good lyrics. Little bit of lounge mixed in. Easy to listen to. Solid and at times beautiful, but also somewhat forgettable.
Great musicality, upbeat, fun, "lion-kingy", cool. Though I don't understand any of the lyrics, the songs are still solid and impressive. Wouldn't listen again.
Great storytelling, tight rifs, great groove. Hit after hit, pretty great. Dripping with talent and depth.
Very solid. Great songwriting, interesting lyrics, pure acoustic.
Fun and riffy and unexpectedly good. Chill experimental grooves and driving zeppelen-esque riffs and jazz sax. Really similar to the rocky horror picture show soundtrack. Would definitely put this into regular rotation!
Straight with it and damn good. An incredible live album. Incredible.
At first it sounds like the lead guitar (metal style) is played on an old printer, brrr brrr brrr, chreeerrrr. Fun. Like a zeppelin album we didn't get, fun and funky and not too serious.
Starts out with 'movin on up', an absolute jam. Positive energy.Definitely an early 90s dance jam. At times moody and ethereal. Weird weird weird. Good good good.
Brilliant drums and guitar, sci-fi like lyrics and 70s vibe.
Smooth, acoustic, unique tone, really good.
Good. Like scissor sisters + muse + some diving synths. Wide ranging. Kinda fun.
Very supertrampy. Fun, campy, over the top at times, wailing. Pretty decent, some stretching, some don't land.
Really good, started out sounding like REM, then more acoustic northey venezuala vibes. "There she goes" was obviously a huge hit, but other solid tunes abound. Sprawling, this is a real album.
I'd obviously heard 'life during wartime', but this was my first time listening to the entire album. Steam of consciousness, oblique, storrytelling through inferrence and scene, solid guitar/drum/synth backing. Weird weird weird, but fun and with moments of brilliance and a couple of slogs.
Goes straight into Tom Sawyer, a jam. Some major hits. Limelight is still a stand-out. Pretty dang good.
Irish folk psychedelic folk. Appropriately off the wall. Silly. Monty Pythonesque at times. A song about a minotaur that can't sleep. Good for what it is but not always pleasant. Interesting but not interested in ever listening to again.
Hit after hit. Takes some chances, some big swings. Other side was always incredible. A great album. Road trippin was a great way to end the album, really good.
Starts out jammy and upbeat. Then the country comes in. Really good, really solid folksy country album with some upbeat twist moments. Classic Neil Young. Very listenable, would re-listen. Touching at times, really speaks to your heart sometimes.
Unique storytelling and fun alt strummin. She takes risks. Doesn't sound like anybody else at the time but also fits right into the pantheon of early-90s alt rock bands. Really good.
Guitar and alt vocals. Solid drumming. Summer vibes? "Cool". Some bluesy vibes, "funky soundgarden". Very much a product of the time, but also a product I wish I had heard earlier, pretty good!
Very, very good.
Smooth, soulful, confident, a great listen.
It's like the full soundtrack to a bond movie. Often wordless. An experience. Good.
Straight into fun, I like how it starts. Punky, but more alt. Really fun, really good. A winner. Gathering Moss: Italian rasta? Some fun curveballs. Pretty great overall.
Unique sounds, catchy hooks, unique voice. Lyrics range from layered and insightful to flippant and silly. A truly great album. Perfect day is a personal favorite. Five stars.
Funky and pure white stripes. The new kind though, not the electric guitar white stripes ;) . Fun and unique and without a break-out single.
A forgotten artifact of the late 80s / early 90s era, but I swear Lonely Island copped some real tunes making fun of Neneh Cherry. A fascinating, if forgettable artifact of the time.
Immediately recognized the intro track, not sure who I thought it was originally. Pretty good! I thought it was peter gabriel.
Nirvana like and raw. Starts out like 'teen spirit' then tranforms into something 20 years ahead of it's time. Great.
Starts out with that classic reggae beat. Rock solid reggae album front to back. Madame Medusa drug on a bit. Solid but I'm not coming back to it.
