- I know this is a very popular album, I have never heard this before. Not the album, or any of the individual songs on it.
- I liked all the synth work in On the Run.
- The Great Gig in the Sky: Great bluesy tune, i fuck up the rock organ so hard bro. Also the gospel singer, it feels so gospel, i love this shit. It's got some cool harmony, a killer rock organ, a killer vocalist, and a great fucking vamp. The resolution in to the Cmaj7 Fmaj7 Bb then the Ebmaj7 then to Gm-7, Bb maj7, holy ii-V in Bb. Best track on the album. Period.
- Holy Rhodes piano in Money. Also 7. Cool. Cool harmony. I love the sampling too. Fuck this album might be good. I'm at like an 8/10 at track 6. Okay there's a tenor sax. Cool effects. This might be a banger alert.
- The tenor sax is back track 7. Fuck yeah. I was not expecting this. Nobody told me there was a goddamn banger saxophonist on Dark Side of the Moon. It just gets better. I'm at an 8.5/10 now.
- Tracks 5-6-7 were transcendental, plus the ending track was phenomenal. I think the rest of it is fine, but what really makes this album for me is tracks 5-6-7. Like. They just went crazy mode on those 3 tracks, and I am HERE for it. I don't know if it's an 8 or a 9 or me, but it is not a 10, because of the first 5 tracks just not really doing it for me. So I will go 9 I think.
- My top tracks were Tell Her Tonight, This Fire, and Darts of Pleasure
- This has been sitting at like a 6 for me this whole listen through. There is nothing here that makes me go ewwwww, and there's some good jams here.
- Franz Ferdinand is something I enjoyed more two years ago (got that incel indie emo-adjacent rock vibes to it in such a weird way). I love that their singer fucking sucks, it really adds to the album.
- I like that they all suck and are weird losers, i think it adds to the charm of the album.
- I am going with a 5/10. I enjoyed it. I don't think much about it though. Three stars, 5/10.
- The first song was legitimately an 8/10 for me, I was so hyped, and then the album was just more rock.
- It does feel like this album was a classic rock album made specifically for me though.
- I really appreciate some of the sounds they use though, theres some baller elp and theres a really cool guitar solo in Weep Themselves to Sleep. Great digital modifications, really cool recording, awesome tech pull in classic rock.
- This is just very classic rock though, and while its great sometimes, a whole album is a little much.
- My favorite song was the first one, Missing Pieces. That was a great time. It was all downhill from there.
- I am so over this. 4.5/10.
- Side note before the music review begins, I really like the album art.
- Uhh I really haven't had much to say. I keep going back and forth over whether I like Janis Joplin's voice, and I think my verdict is: I like it, but god, I understand why she died of a heroin overdose.
- I feel like this is better than some classic rock. Most of the songs sound at least a little bit different from one another. I think a large part of this album does hinge on Joplin for me, and I do like the aesthetics of this album a lot. But again, there's only so much rock and blues I can take at 120bpm in a certain period of time, and while I like this better than yesterday's album, please give us something that's not classic rock tomorrow. It won't happen...
- I think my favorite track was Flower in the Sun. I liked it was more Bluegrass than classic rock.
- Interesting and notable, but not something I'm crazy about. 5/10. I think it's a two star 5/10 though, not a three star 5/10.
I did not record my thoughts on this album as i listened, but i thought it was fine. A three star 5/10 this time. My favorite track was the fifth one.
- Pre-listen: I am actually so fucking excited to listen to this album.
- 6 7 in track 8.
- I always love a good 1950s/1960s era guitar ballad album because you get to hear some of the best goddamn guitar playing you maybe have ever heard. The "lead" guitar player on this album is fucking phenomenal, like, he just absolutely shreds improvisations for the entire goddamn album. Holy shit this guy is so fucking good and its awesome.
- I also love me some goddamn four part vocal harmonies. This is just fucking awesome. The simple instrumentation is so fucking awesome. Just upright bass, 2 guitars, a snare with brushes, and four voices. It's beautifully simple and it is just awesome.
- I recognize Big Iron from Fallout: New Vegas. However, it's such a good fucking song??? It's definitely my personal favorite on this album, I just love the bass singer so much, I love the upright bass part, I love the guitar player shredding, and Marty Robbins just fucking holds the vocals down. God what a fucking phenomenal album.
- This may be surprising, but this gets an 8/10 from me. I think this is some of the best "American Western" music you can get, and it's not boring. When I think of traditional "American Western" music I think, "oh, this is just gonna be the same song form over and over again and the singer sings about a woman or a horse," and while that is true, it really isn't boring. You get invested in the story of the song, because these songs are folk tales at their cores. This, however is not something I would have on loop, which loses it points, but it is just so fucking good. Four stars, 8/10.
- Nobody told me they did a piece with a sitar and microtonality like DAMN that shit was awesome.
- Not me crying from the transition from Fairy Feller's Master Stroke to Nevermore. Goddamn.
- March of the Black Queen was my favorite track for sure. A close second was Nevermore though.
- What an experience. This is definitely a 7/10 at the very least for me. I am still a little on the fence about it as a whole, but this is objectively a good fucking album. This is objectively good music and goddamn do I appreciate it. I think my final score is 8/10, four stars.
