redefined sports bar ambiance
like the vocal harmonies, definitely hear it in the 50 years of music that came after it but none of the tracks really hit me
strong vocals and good beats, i dunno if she had to call me a lady boy though
Favourite track: Cold Lampin' With Flavor. laid-back, rhymes are fun and hit hard when they want to. yeah boyyyyyyy
First time listening to the full album and it just rocks. Favourite track: YYZ, but The Camera Eye is gonna stick with me forever too
Pretty interesting jazz record, tons of variance and improv and keeps a good beat. Favourite track: Minawa
vocal harmonies go crazy, let alone the instruments. Favourite track: Run to the Hills
Only ever heard Killing in the Name before this, the funk, rap, and metal blend was an extremely pleasant surprise. The lyrics go without saying. Favourite track: Take the Power Back
The passion in this one is very apparent even if the story doesn't quite resonate with me. I'd give it a high 3 if I could. Favourite track: The Promised Land
High concept and evocative lyrics. The instrumentation is more of a backdrop for the poetry, though.
Lyrics are great but the production doesn't interest me all that much
dig the experimentation, it still sounds modern today. never heard of acid jazz til now
Not quite enough variety for me, La Grange and Waitin' for the Bus were good while I was paying attention
Brief moments in each track where something is going on, if only they put those together into one good one. Nice background noise otherwise
Every other track is a single I've heard 100 times but it still manages to feel cohesive front to back. It goes without saying but her vocals are truly generational. Favourite track: Rolling in the Deep
Maggot Brain leads with ten minutes of rock riffs that give way to some real soul. "You and your folks, me and my folks" probably still as resonant today. Favourite track: hit it and quit it.
Sounded like the whole decade of 90s dance pop in 1990, so good on them. "Groove is in the Heart" is the crowd pleaser and I agree.
Funniest concept album I've ever seen. random brand jingles after songs and they were only paid for some of them. The Coca-Cola chant into "Melancholia" hits
The country/punk rock fusion is interesting but ultimately not my thing. Favourite track: Universal Corner
Not sure what I expected but this was really above and beyond it. There's a lot of folk but it manages to feel unique from track to track. Favourite track: Sisters of the Moon
Strong sound but it doesn't really innovate past the halfway point. Favourite track: Celebrity Skin
I associate half of this album with high school because of the seven singles released for it over two years. The lyrics aren't much of anything, and the contrast in the themes along with the abrupt transitions in the album really drives home that this is just a collection of singles. At least I still like the production, I think. Favourite track: Style
Listened to this one a decade ago and it still holds up. Processed and dreamlike but the acoustic sounds still come through very well. Favourite track: Shiver
Great folk and blues record, lyrics really hit just about every emotion. Favourite track: Run That Body Down
