Good vibes to work to and some real classics in there, last song is for sure a skipper which is a shame.
I didn’t want to like it as much as I did and that’s on having an open mind. Felt super cringe and very high school musical with the anthemic vocals and straight ahead drumming (actually the drums were the major thing I would change across the album).
But overall I felt …. Kinda awesome ???? There’s a reason why he’s an icon I guess. Crazy that he’s Milly Bobby Brown’s father in law.
We really do have to hold on to what we’ve got ❤️
Am I a bad feminist if my favourite song was the one with thom Yorke? Appreciate it for what it is but I think it’s not majorly a relisten for me, maybe my issue is I don’t like New York so an album written as an ode to the city potentially never going to appeal to me? There are moments of real enjoyment and brilliance, but I think there are albums of this genre/period that scratch this particular itch more for me.
Such a good one to wake up to on a sunny Saturday morning. Unfortunately I am an insufferable Beatles enjoyer. Some absolute classics, but still a little bit too early sixties rock n roll for full marks, there was no need for the Mr Postman cover lol.
Beeeaaaauuuutiful !!!! Pleasantly late 80s comforting but with enough substance to feel meaningful. & what a voice !
Hadn’t properly listened to Tracy Chapman beyond the hits and found it such a lovely surprise.
Christ how incredibly long and boring. I hate country music, but not only is it country it’s a SNOOZEFEST. And they’re all covers too? Give me a break. The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face was absolutely excruciating, not to mention Personal Jesus and Danny Boy.
I know he was on his deathbed but lighten up mate. No need to wheel out the reanimated corpse for monotonous droning covers of well loved songs.
The Cash and Cohen combo back to back was tough. This one is decent at least, I enjoyed the songs it’s just a pity that Leonard Cohen is singing on all of them and it’s SO loud in the mix. I like most of them but all the songs are just a tad too long. He’s like if Bob Dylan was good. But that’s a LOW bar.
Standard stuff. Quite like the genre, don’t think they did anything particularly interesting with it but solidly played and fairly well enjoyed. Hated the born to be wild cover.
Quite a humorous commute album. I like it - it’s stylish and has some swagger about it. Listened twice and the second time around I properly enjoyed it, particularly Track B and C. Still fairly hard work though and not a go-to like other Mingus albums I think.
YESSS!!! Absolutely incredible her impact on the industry I LOVE THIS ALBUM! Also super fun to get to hunt all the things this album is sampled in. Iconic and timeless.
Yeah I mean I enjoyed it, don’t really see why it was on the list but good old Wrexham band representation.
Nice arrangements and things for a rock album and some classics
What an album, still feels so modern and experimental but also so fun to listen to. Love the doors fr
