Aretha Franklin brought such a iconic voice at the time. Her sound was consistent and recognizable to only her. I don't normally give her a listen but good listen overall.
It's classic metal but also blends new sounds into it as well. Songs like "Changes" and "Laguna Sunrise" aren't songs you can typically get from a metal sound, they blend a melancholic rock sound to it which really shows range for the band. Not to mention the range in which they play their instruments, songs like "Wheels of Confusion / The Straightener" and "Under the Sun / Every Day Comes and Goes" the guitar changes into a new riff or a new tempo and then the drums kick in with a new beat or match the tempo with the guitar, and yet they still make a consistent sound throughout the song that caters to that song only. A really solid album through and through.
Damn this is my first introduction to the Pixies and boy did they deliver; This is a sound I feel like I don't normally find in other bands, it still has it's rock punchiness through the bands instrumental sound but has this real creepy undertone through the vocals in most tracks that I really jive with. All the tracks are literal consistent bangers, they know what they do best and keep it pushing throughout the album, the vocals also show a good range in soft moments in the albums that give it a nice sentimental mood rather than the creepy or rocky angry undertone he would typically have and just having that dichotomy within their songs and STILL make it sound consistent and good is insane.
It's a fun album, first time hearing a whole Madonna project and it has a real fun 80's vibe to it, but it usually stays the same throughout which isn't bad but it just doesn't keep me invested into the album the whole time.
First Beach Boys project and what a livley sound they have, which feels like a given when you think about the album name. All the instrumentals and vocals really give off a “live sound” and it sounds really great together even if the lyrics can be a lil sad when you think about it, it’s a nice lil opposite attracts kind of thing.
This is my first time ever giving this project a listen, and on the first listen I can tell why people really love this album in tandem with Graduation. This album has some really powerful and meaningful tracks that can really highlight the struggle and faith that Kanye has through his life at this time, it's the detailing that really keeps in you invested within all his tracks and not to mention the production in the album is just amazing overall, however the replay ability factor for me isn't there that much besides a few tracks.
Awesome punk sound, all the instrumentals are head-pounding, jumpy, and loud which just make this punk project sound all the better. Unfortunately I feel like the vocals get drowned out too much by the instruments, they still all make a nice blend of music, it just seems that the dynamics with the vocals don't give enough attention to the lyricism, but man is the music still fun and jumpy.
Man this is a wild cohesive album, of course it was all live but the way each song went into the other in a seamless transition; it's just so flawless. Blues is so underrated and the way B.B. King was playing his guitar, letting it sing in some tracks is amazing. It had such sound of despair and yet it made you bounce. Overall great album.
Holy moly this is a BANGERRRR, the production having that eerie, villainy, dark vibe with skepta having such a strong and aggressive voice and lyrics, it all just fits together it's all so good.
Oh the weird voices and loud guitar play that mask really well with the vocals is what really does this album for me, it's all so good having such a 70's vibe yet you can tell people definitely were influenced by this album in modern times cause some of the tracks still give a modern feel just by how much influence they've given in this album, really awesome listen throughout.
Very Blues/rock inspired, it's a really nice sounding album, not much replay ability for me imo but nice music in general with interesting yet good sounding instrumentals, there wasn't much to have me invested or keep interest through the album which says a lot since it is a 35 min album.
Very country-driven, it's wild that this was made in the mid 90's cause it really sounds older than that, it's a really interesting album with some relatable song-writing that I liked, but not really much for me to revisit to.
A country blues album that sounds really good. The guitar play is really enticing to hear it gets you uppity and dancing which I really enjoy. The second half of the album definitely picks up for me, it has tracks that have a nice blend of good instrumental and catchy songwriting. Overall fun listen especially driving to it.
What a quick yet impactful 30 minutes with a really a unique sound that sounds so similar to what the 60’s sounded. Amy just gives a powerful independent perspective about herself and her music I just can’t help but feel bliss and optimistic when listening to it all.
It’s… an interesting album to say the least, I actually kinda enjoy all the wackiness in the instrumentals but not necessarily the songwriting (albeit some of it still sounds good) I feel like it’s kinda word vomit in most of the tracks which doesn’t help since the tracks are like 5 minutes minimum, so the wacky instrumental can only play for so long, they just tend to drag out and then you’re just left with a bundle of words most of the time that just don’t relate or correlate to you, sound wise it’s not bad I do like it, but not something I would ever visit again honestly.
It's cool, it's very one tone in all their songs in this project, it's not too bad, something I wouldn't mind that's background but doesn't fully draw my attention.
I love the live sound, it’s a bit too dragging for my liking, however there would be tracks I would revisit solely due to relatability in songwriting, but songs like a 16 minute track I can’t really look forward to.
Such a 60's hippie pop sound that I feel like really can't be replicated anywhere else, I think the vocals are what sell me intensely, something about harmonizing melodies with all group members of the band sound so hypnotic. A very good listen overall usually not my typical genre but great sound.
