Wildly cohesive, feels very much the same feeling I get when I listen to soundtracks like Hamilton, everything flows into the next and continues the process of the story being told.
Very moody, the first part definitely gave me feelings of... almost dread? Based on my read of the plot of the movie, I'm getting that claustrophobia with a lot of it.
The second half is a lot more upbeat, kind of like the story is resolving in a positive manner. I'd have to dig into the lyrics more to figure it all out though.
As opposed to yesterday, this is far more a straight down the middle rock album. Not in rating, but in what it's going for. Each song is its own thing to say rather than the soundtrack feel of The Wall.
Obviously, two immediate classics with I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For and With Or Without You. I don't think the rest of the album hits nearly that hard, so it does feel a little more like a few big bangers surrounded by lessers.
The synth was kind of nice, but somewhat forgettable to me.
Feels like cutting edge for 1963, love the energy. Sam Cooke really has a fun voice, makes you want to dance.
Personally not a fan of his voice. The music around it is very good, but I cannot get past that. Voice is a major component for me and if I don't jive with the voice, I don't really want to listen to it all that much.
Not bad, enjoyable enough, but nothing stood out. I prefer CSNY together.
Eh, I just didn't get it; it felt more like an explosion of sound more than a rock album to me.
Pretty good, enjoyable. Changes was really nice.
I mean, I get it for folks that like this kind of music but it's just not for me. Too screamy.
Absolute classic, incredible music.
This could be due to the fact that music has changed and evolved since 1966, but this only feels like muzak to me.
Of course Clint Eastwood is a classic song, but man, this album has some really good tracks. Very enjoyable listen.
Didn't strike me as anything too incredible, but listenable. Very much feels like background music.
Beautiful voice; not my usual style. Would give 3.5 if possible.
