It's pretty good, they could spice up the instrumentals a bit more and the songs could be more unique
It was pretty great, nothing wildly special but every track carried weight and pure emotion and performance from of course the iconic Elvis Presley.
Surprisingly beautiful, one of the best albums I've heard for no reason, amazing production and performances
60% is not good, 40% is great, nothing crazy new for its time, I'm not the biggest fan of Michael's voice, and the whole album isn't very connected.
This album took a few listens to get at first, but it really is a beautiful electronic album. Some songs are a bit too long or empty, but it goes for a more sound album instead of a song album. Cool things.
An absolute staple of course, this album perfectly encapsulates the sound of the 80s. Every track has something new and unique, combining to make a masterpiece, showing off Prince's absurd musical talent.
It was just a classes soul record with nothing special, but nothing bad. Nice simple listen with the first half carrying a huge part.
Absolutely gas, not the most lyrically deep but some great tracks and fun instrumentals.
The music is pretty obnoxious and absurd, some cool arrangements but half of this listen was strlaight hell. Not the biggest fan of his voice, and some parts are so unnecessarily out of tune. It's one of those albums that pretentious chuds will try to convince you it's on purpose, but it's not. It's just straight ass. So much potential too. I like tracks 1, 3, 5, and 10 however. While it shlucked, the atmosphere was kinda cool due to the anxiety it gives.
A 60's psychedelic banger. Love the classic panning you hear on those kinds of albums. Something I love that records do are fun and connected transitions, which this album subtly nails on some of the tracks. Some songs on it are so British that it's almost Australian however. The monologues are fun, but can go on for a while. Few filler very good.
This is one of my favorite albums from the 60s, absolute track for track perfection. These songs are beautiful, whether it's Simon and Garfunkels harmonies, Paul Simon's underrated and flawless guitar picking, or the generational poetry written between the melodies. The Dangling Conversation is one of my favorite songs of all time as well among these perfect tracks; this record is simply art.
This album slaps. Not only are the saxes and guitars incredibly funky, but it manages to stay consistent the entire time and be incredibly engaging. The drums are an entirely different monster. The psychedelic mixing the bongos go under gives such a cool effect, scratching my brain. The actual kit's sound is absolutely amazing as well, and doesn't clash with the other percussion, which is impressive to pull off in such a crowded album instrument-wise. Such an enjoyable experience.
A nice country/folk pop album that has some beautiful and simple arrangements. Her vocal talent is pretty great as well. Easy and pretty listen.
A decent country album, nothing special. The harmonica is mixed a little too sharply, and can sometimes hurt your ears. Simple and easygoing music, but nothing crazy or original that caught my attention. Lovely sounding stuff though.
So gas I started mowing my lawn after tripping on some acid
Super fun indie album with a little hint of garage rock. Catchy, sweet, and great listen. I like the variety it gives of soft and heavy songs. Nothing crazy or new, but I'm definitely returning.
Out of the Blue was beautiful. The first few minutes were simple fun pop rock with a unique catalog of instruments and layering. But as the album progressed, it showed emotion, complex orchestration, and beautiful arrangements that gave the album engaging variety. What a colorful album to go with a perfectly fitting design cover. Perfect 5.
I was genuinely surprised when I found out this was the 80s. The beats and energy was unbeatable. Great consistency with a couple songs that just went on a little too long.
Fun pop music, some standout tracks, and a nice listen. Love the variety of instruments, there's definitely some wacky ones being put to use. It could obviously use a little more structure, but it's great for what it is.
Not too many notes, a great rap debut with nothing crazy.
Very fun and feel good album, but some tracks lack interesting parts and can feel repetitive. Loved most of it though, and I will be returning.
This album is absolutely beautiful. I love all the intricate orchestrations, specifically the violin. The album starts awesome and I was looking forward to it, but many times throughout the record I found myself waiting for the next track to arrive. Half and half some of the best emotional indie pop arrangements I've ever heard, and the other being boring pop filler that could've been removed.
This album is like a fuzzy blanket and a warm quilt that was made by your grandma. The guitar textures are some of the most luscious tones on any rock album you can find, with hit after hit after hit. As a lover of the Pumpkins, this record is absolutely Smashing and I return to it every day. It's impossible to listen to this objectively, as I've adored this 90's gem for so many years. Gorgeous alt rock that defines my autumns.
This album is amazing. Simple folk accompanied by great layering of instruments like piano and organs, telling great stories. Very nice listen.
The album starts off with some of the best 90s hip-hop I've heard yet with interesting and engaging instrumentals. About a fourth in however, the quality dips and the tracks seem to drone on a little longer than necessary and can feel repetitive. Once you get to Lovesick though, the record sweeps back up and delivers some of the best lyricism and story telling from the decade I've ever heard. Slightly bumpy but great album with great talent.
This record is incredible. Every single track flows perfectly from one to the next, making the project feel huge and connected. The individual tracks stand out absurdly, with hits and deep cuts scoring all 10s keeping the album consistent. The instrumentals are massive and engaging, making the whole album incredibly hooky. This record is absurdly gas, and completely breaks through the wall of the entire hip-hop scene, waymaking for the entire decade and the future of the genre's potential. This isn't just an album, it's a cinematic monument and experience of music.
