What are these guys famous for? I guess standards were lower in the 60s. Idk. Vocals were giving bob dylan at times. Some kinda love was my favorite. “Some kinds of love are mistaken for vision”. I’m giving a solid 4/10 here boys.
I mean I can't count how many times I've listened to Take Five. I remember driving around with my dad when I was a kid and it was always on the radio because he listened to smooth jazz 105.9, and this was one of the rare songs I loved as opposed to literally anything by Kenny G.
But I haven't sat and listened to the rest of the album intently before and it is just brilliant. The push and pull of the tempo in Blue Rondo to start is genius, such a journey to go through in a nearly 7 minute track. Everybody in the band pulls their weight.
I think I'm too old and lazy for this album these days. Only 21 minutes but it was a slog. I feel like I need to be in a mood to appreciate this more but I wasn't. Respect to the unfiltered punk rock vibes though
They don't make albums like this anymore. Shit slaps so hard. Production value is insane, lyrics are incredible. 10/10.
Look - I love Billie Holiday. I stan Billie Holiday. But holy shit was this album a slog. It felt like one single 44 minute long song. I had to keep checking youtube to make sure I wasn't looping the same song over again. The only saving grace was the occasional trumpet line. Whole thing felt like the backtrack to a boring ass movie from the 50s.
Listening to this makes me want to go do hooligan shit. Classic album but hard to listen through while sitting at a desk. Could probably just listen to the drum lines by themselves.
Yacht rockers rejoice! I have a soft spot for Steely Dan, my parents like them a lot so listening to them carries some feelgood nostalgia for me. Any major dude would tell you. For the album itself, not my favorite Dan album but I think there are still some gems in there like the title track Pretzel Logic. I think I would go 3.5 stars if I could but I'm leaning towards rounding down.
Not entirely sure how to review this other than to say that this really isn't my jam. It's that style of early 90s rap where they just kind of yell and its noisy and loud and a bit frenzied. Did not really enjoy it.
I'm sure this would be a lot better if I was on acid but in the absence of that I did not enjoy it very much.
I think this album would go hard as fuck as a metal cover.
Great blues album. Don't think it's my favorite of all time but still incredibly good. 4 stars.
I had never heard of this band before, reminds me a bit of Beck. Was alright.
This album is so much fun. I'd never heard of this guy before. Sofia said that he was pretty popular in Italy back in the day and they used to play his songs at the disco.
Such a quintessential 80s sound. Had a few good songs but didn't feel like it was straight bangers
I really enjoyed this one in high school
Sounds like some shit Pat would listen to
Hadn't heard this before, was pretty awesome. Reminded me of Tenacious D a little bit.
Really liked track 4 Samba Triste. Overall, samba isn't my favorite flavor of jazz but it is a solid album. Gonna have to go with a 3 for this cus while I respect the musicality it still sounds like high class elevator music to me
idk man I just don't enjoy listening to Bruce
Didn't like track 6 Green Calx, but everything else is straight bangers. Love Aphex Twin, could listen to this on repeat
Solid album, I'd give 3.5 stars if I could.

My poor ears
pretty solid album
Made me want to go on a long drive out west with the windows down
Banger.
guitar went hard on track 2
My mom used to listen to Yes growing up, the album with Owner of a Lonely Heart. I thought it was a pretty great song at the time. I think overall they make some really cool sounds, stuff that is in another world from what I hear today. That being said, this was not my favorite album
Feel good 70s music! 2 stars.
What a great blues album, I'd never heard of these guys before
I actually really like Fleetwood Mac, but if this album was my first impression of them then I probably wouldn't. I see a lot of commentary online that this is their masterpiece album, their "White" album. Sounds like a load of garbage to me.
Giving this 3 stars cus I feel like if I were in a certain state of mind I would appreciate it a lot more
I kinda liked it kinda didn't. I think I like the actual music and Callahan's voice, gives me kind of The National vibes at times. But it is a bit too spoken word for me and I think that just isn't my jam
There She Goes hits me in the nostalgia but otherwise can't say this is my favorite album. Lead singer has kind of a whiny voice and it annoys me
I always liked the song Crazy, which I think was my total exposure to Cee Lo Green. He is definitely a super talented dude, but damn this album sucks.
Not a big Elvis fan but this is a solid album, would do 3.5 stars if I could
This does not sound like it came out in 2018. It DOES sound like garbage, I couldn't get through the whole thing I tried
You are what you are. I love me some CSN.
Pretty great album imo. Subtracting a star because it hit me in the nostalgia and unbottled some old memories that I had kept stuffed deep down.
