Some memorable songs. About half the album was too slow for my taste, and some of the songs were a bit long. The last song was slow but a cool and unique sound.
Enjoyable listening. Good background music for just about anything, and definite enjoyable moments. Catchy rhythm to the music.
Lots of really enjoyable songs. Won't ever be unhappy listening to this.
Rockin out, good for a lot of different situations and activities. Not totally my style, but classic, good, and fun.
Enjoyed parts, but got a little bit too much "Jam session" for me
I really enjoy a lot of the beats, but some of the songs get repetitive and meh. Others are very good. This group seems dependent on the guest vocalist they have on each song
The beats are fun, the lyrics amusing. I got a bit tired of the style by the end
This style of music isn't really my thing, and the lyrics got a bit depressing
I found this fun, and would enjoy listening to it again. There was one song towards the end that was long and boring and almost ruined it for me, but it held out.
I think I actually would have enjoyed this more without the lyrics
I was almost ready to 4* this. much of the album, I could imagine listening during a variety of activities and having fun. some of the tracks got annoying sounding and a bit far out there
good background music. The audio level fluctuations got obnoxious at times
I don't know enough about jazz to distinguish too much between groups and styles, but this was enjoyable
I'm a sucker for the upbeat and dynamic acoustic guitar sound, and found this enjoyable, if a bit inconsistent
I expected to like this more than I did. I kept feeling like I was right on the verge of a payoff and really enjoying it, but never got there. It was fine.
Not really having a chance at understanding the lyrics, I enjoyed the beat and flow and mood of the music.
This fluctuated between "not my thing" and "actively obnoxious". This guy is so sad! And he's sharing his sadness with the world. Repeatedly. I don't find the lyrics that deep or meaningful, but he does sing it well, and the instrumentals aren't half bad.
This reminded me of marilyn manson. Which is interesting and maybe backwards to say, because this came first. I don't mind the style, but I'm also not excited by it.
I never felt super groovy with this or excited, but when it ended, I was totally happy to just keep listening to the random REM music that amazon autoplayed. Going to consider that a good sign.
I'm not entirely sure what I just listened to, but I think it was enjoyable! I enjoyed the techno song.
Party jazz with some fun lyrical stuff mixed in. Could listen to this again.
If there's a blues/jazz equivalent to a jam band, this is it :). Once again good background music, but to my musically illiterate mind, this seemed like just another jazz album. Without including any vocals, there's nothing to add that much unique flavor to it.
This felt like the most diverse set of sounds and styles that I can remember on a non-Weird Al album. I can't say I knew what was happening, but I think I enjoyed it ok?
Good groove, and lyrics. I quite liked Liability. But overall it didn't blow me away. I'd listen again, because of the groove, and the style. But it's not the best example of this style, to me.
This was a long one, and I continued to enjoy it the whole way, which I take as a good sign. I can tell this was a foundational or early version of a lot of hip hop, and might have been instrumental in a new style that other artists jumped off of. The beats were excellent, and I always enjoy the style of the music dropping out on a particularly powerful lyric.
When the first song was already repetitive 3 minutes in, I checked, and there were 5 minutes left, I knew this would be a rough one. This was...weird. I don't think I enjoyed the style, and I was ready for it to be done.
I don't mind the slow paced and acoustic guitar songs if I can identify with the lyrics, but I didn't get there with this album.
Such unique and often epic sounds coming out of the 80s hair metal era. I'm very surprised that it often seems restricted to that genre, and we don't hear it more in other types of music. I enjoyed the different guitar work on here, and the style in general.
I expected to like this more. There were some highlights. I liked You Haven't done Nothin. Mostly it just didn't grab me.
I didn't enjoy this quite as much as the last one. None of the songs but one really stood out to me. It was good grooving music though.
I can't actually really explain why I enjoyed this, but it was I did. I could listen to this and never be unhappy. Probably not while working out, but in most other situations. The music and the vocals were different pacing and timing from from one another, but still somehow fit.
I wish I could have understood the lyrics; I think I would have liked this better.
I quite enjoy the vocal style, and the lyrics are decent, but the instrumentals just feel very interesting to me, and I enjoy those even more.
I couldn't understand any of the lyrics. I actually noticed the album ended when I heard English. But I enjoyed this well enough, despite it being slow. It was tranquil and the vocal sounds fit it well.
This had some classic/memorable songs, and I like it. But an hour straight of it is a bit much :). Not quite as enjoyable as Marvin Gaye.
