Listening statistics & highlights
well done polished album that right away goes off the core themes and vibe of being bored stuck in a loop in the suburbs in the 90s. Enjoyed the sardonic voice to it classic from pop punk. I can also understand why a lot of fans felt they sold out with this album and join a record label. Great album, will revisit for sure.
My first time listening to a Black Sabbath album in full. I feel like any metal from the 70s has that similar feeling of drug induced loneliness which you can feel through every track of Vol. 4. It doesn’t sound as heavy as a lot of their other stuff- this felt like it had more of a California feel to it especially with Laguna Sunrise and the guitar riffs chosen for a lot of other songs. Highlights for me were Laguna Sunrise and Cornucopia. It has definitely made me interested in comparing and contrasting the metal sound in the early 70s then to the 8ps and the difference between American and U.K metal. Solid decade defining album for sure.
Obvious Iconic album. I love the story of Getz’s friend going to Brazil with Tomy Bennet, learning what Bosa Nova was and bringing it back to the states to then have a huge impact on the music industry and bringing jazz back as popular after the start of Rock n roll in 1960. I love how good the album feels in its simplicity.
Another classic album that influenced its own genre to the max and has been sampled so many times. You can feel the chill hippie vibe of California that also brings that dark depressing edge that you think of when you imagine the 60s and the influence of what was happening politically or I would say I guess the lack there of considering the white band members. Some standouts included I call your name and Spanish Harlem. A fun album to get drunk to/dance around to.Probably one of the original concepts of happy upbeat music paired with sad depressing lonely lyrics.
Great intro album. Having listened to later Sade albums first before Diamond Life it’s exciting to hear her early sound and think about how she evolves over each work.
