Frank Sinatra · 1 likes

2/5

I usually love Frank Sinatra but yet again whoever compiles this list chooses the SLOWEST albums. Just because music is slow doesn't make it better than other music. Considering dipping out of this whole thing if I get one more slow, droll, album. I want to be awake by the end of the album and these are not it.

Pills 'n' Thrills And Bellyaches

Happy Mondays · 1 likes

4/5

I really like Bob's Yer Uncle, Loose Fit, and Step On

Neon Bible

Arcade Fire

4/5

The songs were a bit too slow for me at first and then I really started enjoying when Intervention played. I also really like Black Wave/Bad Vibrations, The Well and the Lighthouse, No Cars Go and My Body is a Cage. Definitely a good first recommendation I'm excited to listen to more.

Stardust

Willie Nelson

3/5

Way too slow for my liking. I can see why other people like it. All the songs fit the album well, just not my cup of tea. Album art is also beautiful.

Heartbreaker

Ryan Adams

2/5

Too slow for me again. I do like when they start an album with a talking segment but that was really the only part I liked. Not for me.

Third/Sister Lovers

Big Star

3/5

Most too slow but I did like 3 songs

Bossanova

Pixies

2/5

This one is really random but I like Havalina

Strange Cargo III

William Orbit

4/5

Songs are way too long for normal listening but are perfect for my Utopian Scholastic and my Mermaids playlists.

Screamadelica

Primal Scream

2/5

Another painfully slow album. It's ok once again not my thing.

Something/Anything?

Todd Rundgren

4/5

Again a little slow but I love Wolfman Jack

John Prine

1/5

I'm not even finishing that is crazy twangy and not at all my thing

A Northern Soul

The Verve

2/5

Again very slow not my thing

The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill

Lauryn Hill

5/5

Already loved this album I love Doo Wop and Everything is Everything. Great songs love this one.

Live At The Witch Trials

The Fall

3/5

This would probably be more enjoyable in person honestly. I think if I had been introduced in that way I would like it more. Reminds me of the show the Young Ones. Not really my cup of tea to listen while driving or working out but would definitely go see it in concert or play it as a vinyl.

The Good, The Bad & The Queen

5/5

History Song, Northern Whale, Behind the Sun and Nature Springs are all good on first listen. Almost sounds like the Gorillaz but also kind of like some other indie bands mixed in.

Elephant

The White Stripes

5/5

I obviously loved Seven Nation Army already but surprised to see how many other songs I liked from them.

Talk Talk Talk

The Psychedelic Furs

3/5

Not my thing again but would be cool for movie soundtracks or enjoyable live.

Ellington at Newport

Duke Ellington

5/5

A good one to throw on in the background while reading I love this one. I would love to have this on vinyl.

Sulk

The Associates

2/5

It's giving the music that would play in the liminal space that is an old 80s Kane's store.

Goodbye And Hello

Tim Buckley

2/5

Not for me again. I really don't like the slow folky harmonica type music. There are other artists that make this type of music that I prefer. I wonder if people tend to consider slow music more artistic and elevated because humans have a tendency to think slow speech indicates confidence? I'm tired of it personally I like faster music.

Francis Albert Sinatra & Antonio Carlos Jobim

Frank Sinatra

2/5

Permission to Land

The Darkness

4/5

Oof just as I was complaining about the music chosen being too slow they finally give me a faster album. I already loved I Believe in a Thing Called Love but my other new favorite is Friday Night. Though a lot of the album is a little samey and chaotic so not the best but definitely better than what I've been getting.

Crime Of The Century

Supertramp

5/5

Dang ok this album rocks love nearly all the songs. Some of them are ungodly long but many of them are worth it.

Phaedra

Tangerine Dream

4/5

I actually really like that this album is only 2 songs long and the first one is really cool. Another album I would love to see in a physical setting like an art exhibit or aquarium or something.

Crossing the Red Sea With the Adverts

The Adverts

3/5

Not super my thing again. Live would probably be cool but all the songs kind of sound the same to me. Just not really my style of music.

Medúlla

Björk

2/5

I like Bjork as a person and public figure but her music is not really for me. Too many sounds going on it's a little overstimulating. I think it would be cool paired with an art exhibit or something but just to listen to in the car is not really my vibe.

Imagine

John Lennon

2/5

Not for me not my thing.

Mama's Gun

Erykah Badu

3/5

I can tell the music is done well just again way too slow for me

I Want To See The Bright Lights Tonight

Richard Thompson

3/5

Too slow again for me but would make a good movie soundtrack

Toys In The Attic

Aerosmith

3/5

Obviously Walk This Way and Sweet Emotion are classics but I find the rest of their music to be a little corny lol. Not bad but didn't add any new songs to my rotation.

Casanova

The Divine Comedy

2/5

Again a little corny for me not my thing

In A Silent Way

Miles Davis

4/5

20 minute songs?!? Y'all gotta be joking. They are good though I will give you that.

Entertainment

Gang Of Four

2/5

Not for me

Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea

PJ Harvey

3/5

Grievous Angel

Gram Parsons

3/5

Pills 'n' Thrills And Bellyaches

Happy Mondays

4/5

I really like Bob's Yer Uncle, Loose Fit, and Step On

Faust IV

Faust

3/5

More my husband's thing than mine

Quiet Life

Japan

3/5

The Age Of The Understatement

The Last Shadow Puppets

4/5

Virgin Suicides

Air

2/5

The Downward Spiral

Nine Inch Nails

4/5

Obviously Closer is one of the best songs of all time but I also really liked Heresy and Ruiner sounds like something from Queen of the Damned so I really loved this one.

Play

Moby

4/5

I could definitely see this being a soundtrack to a film. Really cool songs. I would definitely throw this on in the background on vinyl or something while I clean my house or do whatever. Very cool though not my usual for daily drive listening.

Live Through This

Hole

4/5

I had never heard any of Courtney Love's songs before but I really liked this one. Never realized the movie Jennifer's Body was a reference to this album. Pretty cool.

Deja Vu

Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young

4/5

I already loved Our House so no surprise I liked a few other songs as well. Definitely a vinyl I would like to own but only 1 less star because it's not music I would listen to all the time.

En-Tact

The Shamen

3/5

Wild Gift

2/5

The Rise & Fall

Madness

4/5

House of Fun is one of my siblings' favorite songs. Yet another song called Our House that I like this week as well is pretty funny. Nostalgic for me but not my usual listen.

Oedipus Schmoedipus

Barry Adamson

2/5

Buffalo Springfield Again

Buffalo Springfield

2/5

Back to Basics

Christina Aguilera

3/5

I liked side B a lot more than A I love a lot of the ways she plays with vintage sounds in the latter half of the album. I'll definitely come back to this one but 3 stars just because I'm not super into the first half.

Street Life

The Crusaders

5/5

Love this. Not something I would listen to in the car but would absolutely love to have this on vinyl to throw in the background of reading or a calm night in. Great for chill parties and the like too. Though I would make an exception for a late night drive this would be perfect for that. Perfect cool mood setting music.

Madman Across The Water

Elton John

5/5

Obviously 5 stars just for Tiny Dancer but I also really loved Holiday Inn.

Devil Without A Cause

Kid Rock

1/5

Triangle

The Beau Brummels

3/5

Vento De Maio

Elis Regina

3/5

A lot of the songs are a little too slow for me but I definitely like Sai Dessa. This album came out the day before I was born!

Time Out Of Mind

Bob Dylan

2/5

I respect him for the music legend that he is, but this style of music is really not for me. So much of what is on here is this super slow folky type of music and I've said it before but it seems like a lot of people take music that is slower to be more artistic and contemplative in the same way many people perceive someone who takes their time to talk as more intelligent and confident. A bit of a flawed lens. The perception lacks depth and exceptions. Very much a lot of the same sounds and not the variety I would expect of such a large list of music.

Fifth Dimension

The Byrds

2/5

Wonderful Rainbow

Lightning Bolt

3/5

Teenager Of The Year

Frank Black

2/5

The Dark Side Of The Moon

Pink Floyd

4/5
