I liked a few of the songs. Morrissey’s voice got to be a lot after a while. Not really my thing but I kind of get some of it.
Beautiful harmonies, meaningful lyrics, some well known tunes.
A few bright spots, but overall I found it repetitive and droning. It was a slog to get through.
A bit heavier than what I typically listen to, but surprisingly melodic and catchy. I would maybe give it only three stars, but I can see it improving upon repeated listening.
Obviously a well known album - but one that I didn't really know. I liked the brightness of the sound. It still doesn't sound dated to me; U2 were ahead of their time.
Iconic album, with some brilliant tracks. I kind of want to give it five stars, but it's just not the kind of music I turn to again and again. The title track will never not be amazing!
Unique doesn’t begin to describe her sound. I was surprised by how much of this album I enjoyed.
Liked the mellow beats that had me dancing around the house, but overall not something I would seek out again any time soon.
Loved the bluesy sounds and continuous drive of the guitar riffs. Great vocals, too.
If 3.5 stars were an option, I would definitely give that score. Really enjoyed the covers of old standards and a few of the original songs, but not something I would seek out.
The tracks were so long - it was like reading a book with long chapters and trying to maintain your attention span. That said, the music was kind of infectious and it grew on me as time went on. Didn’t love it; didn’t hate it; ears were opened to something new.
These songs really made me think about what the artist was trying to say. The compositions were lovely, too. Not something I would have sought out on my own, but I’m glad I listened to it.
This genre is right in my wheelhouse. I liked the arrangements more than her singing, which I find a bit affected, despite her lovely voice. I also didn’t love her jokey treatment of some of the songs, but all in all it was still a great listening experience.
