Solid vibes, but the kind of rock and roll that just washes over me. Can’t really make out lyrics, and when do they’re clearly just there to contribute to the overall sound then to be parsed on their own.
The original that became distilled down to every generic filler rock ost for eternity
Like this one a good bit
The Sorta rap is fun and I’m a sucker for simple instrumentals + vocals
Kinda fell into some generic rock slop later on but it’s solid
Crazy that this is where Pinball Wizard is from.
I’m just an absolute sucker for concept/story albums.
I think some of the transitional songs were a bit clunky, and I’d have to sit with it more to really eek out what its trying to say. I think the mental illness savant plot line is incredibly dated, but comes either the territory for an album round this time.
Songs themselves were just really great to listen to, overture and underture were a great sign that this album was going to be pretty good.
Just an absolute banger.
Its funny, sets an amazing mood and almost every song stands out from eachother- fantastic
I’m absolutely miserable about talking through jazz, especially something so ephemeral as 40 minutes of pure jamming. Loved the sound, amazing vibes- can’t quite say it fully captured my attention the whole way through but I listened through it twice
Completely surprised by how this group sounded. Not a crazy emotional connection but I was immediately impressed by modern their sound felt. Its the kind of bouncy pop music I expect out of like a glass beach. Super fun enjoyed a lot
Just real bad. Simple man is alright and free bird is great but the whole album gives off a real pathetic vibe. The folky stuff does not work here and is just largely forgettable
Certainly an album. Not outright bad but it just washed over me. No particular song stood out and the soundscape didn’t really engage me.
Pretty fun! The scattered sound and rambling lyrics make this stand out- but the full package is just fine
Just sucks
Just one of my favorite albums ever.
The vibe this gives from the very beginning is incredible. The way it shuffles samples and voices is so ahead of its time and so so fun.
My favorite off the album is Midnight in a Perfect World
Really hard to rate considering her place in modern pop lol.
Makes the album itself less cohesive but the singles are pretty fantastic
A classic. Judas priest has an incredible sound. This album has a few stinkers but when it hits it hits
Solid, glad to know where that Christmas song is from
Just amazing, Rock on
Great sound, I love the atmosphere- not sold on the lyricism and how the vocals kinda blend together
Fantastic
Ccr are legends but I’ve been inoculated to this style of country to put this album among my favorites
Such a banger. Love the way Alanis sings and the songs all have something to say.
Pretty good
Just fine, didn’t really get going at any point
Just a great time. Blends together a bit towards the end but gives me very melancholy vibes
Wasn’t doing it for me. Great atmosphere but it didn’t really spark interest in me at any point
Funky
Demands that you really lock in to get the most out of it. Really difficult to listen to casually but in general I was a big fan
Beautiful Freak
Just cool
Just a great time
like I get why this genre became the default elevator music /pos
Girl from impena is so good
I’m a big fan of the singer songwriter genre, just a chance for the artist to tell a story.
Blue did not dissapoint, just a poignant story of love and loss, was a great listen
I’m a fan of this sound but the whole album completely melted into a mush
It took me some extra time to get back to but it really hit on my second attempt.
Hit the same parts of my brain a hyperpop song would
Just a sound I have really grown tired of. Some singles are alright but in general I zzzz
Fight the power
So iconic, but feels particularly juvenile looking back.
Fred Durst absolutely can’t reclaim
Eepy sleepy but in a pretty good way
Okay wow this album rocks. A little bit of a tired in the nose kind of protest song but it just sounds really good. The instrumentals all over School were so groovy and really broke up the rock sounds perfect
Just fine, could be much worse
I sleep
Just fine
Great vibes, I need to develop my palate for jazz
I liked this one a bit more thean the last jazz album we had, will need to relisten to this one a few times
Genuinely a nice listen, it’s the kind of melodic folk country I actually like quite a bit- before it goes all beer for my horses
A surprise! I loved the way it shifted into a kind of fantasy folk album and Tim’s vocals were a treat
First song set a really good time and energy that didn’t really carry through to the test of the album. Listened through it twice though
Just lame. Love the instrumentation but subject matter is so weak
Just super solid. Didn’t really grab my attention but a good listen
Man. I am such a sucker for well constructed sample songs. I’m not sure if the whole album is a perfect five, but its just good the whole time with massive peaks with Since I Left You and Frontier Psychiatrist. Love the way this album sets its tone so simply and stays just long enough on each beat
Solid catchy songs and doesn’t overstay its welcome. Like a lite blend of abba and the beatles, just not quite making a mark
The slightly more modern rock was nice but it quickly developed its own kind of sludge
Fantastic. Really catchy Melodies, and the intercut vocals across the track set a great tone
Incredible album. Every single song is a banger, hits such a particular mood and has an all together unique sound even after all this time. Played this one almost three times in a row today.
Fantastic
Heavy
Like fine
Like amazing
I like this one much more then exile, but the style here is just extremely mild for me
Really liked this one, great performances and a sound I don’t have nearly enough experience with
A blissful dreamlike album
Quite like its tone- will do a second listen
Good sound but did not leave an inpression
Unique but I didn’t quite vibe with it
Really great energy, the live performance really added to this recording
Its sinatra
Just awesome
Started alright but was mixxed really weirdly and got rather repetitive
Sucks ass
Stellar. Nothing outside the ordinary but fantastic regardless
Love Married with children, everything is mid
Pretty okay, the hit is really a hit but kinda drags
just not doing it for me
I dig it
Genuinely enjoyed listening through. No particular song was a stand out but I tend to really like this writing style of telling a story quickly and cleanly
Fantastic, just a really classic sound. Will be listening again
Really groovy. I can’t quite give it a five as I think the actually thought and writing is a little lackluster, and the repetitive track doesn’t carry it
Just fantastic. It starts off with incredible energy and pushes that through each and every song. Full of really engaging melodies and countermelodies that shift in and out seamlessly.
A joy to listen through
Just fine
It took me a moment but I ended up enjoying it
The kind of songs you’d hear in a tarintino movie, pretty solid
Just a really fantastic album. I'm an absolute sucker for this style of acoustic album.
Will be listening again
What a crazy atmosphere. Loved the instrumentals
Reminded me that Stevie Wonder is one of the greatest musicians to ever do it
Rod stewart but 10% gayer. A marked improvement but not incredible
Pretty solid! The title track really stood out as something with a lot of energy, and the other songs didn’t quite keep it up
Again, complete sucker for this style
One of the few albums in this list that feels like it has a story to tell from beginning to end. Kendrick’s verses and writing hit a very human chord that bounces between base and vulgar, and incredibly thoughtful on a word to word basis.
The tracks and instrumentals really elevate everything and really pulls the whole album together.
In the end it’s not something I will listen to often but you can’t help but to listen to it front to back each time.
Just so good, Loved the cuts to a monologue between each song, it flowed really well.
The reclamation of sexuality as a thesis was a great way to focus the album and I loved the balance of humor throughout.
Also just fantastic to listen to outright
I get it but I don’t really get it
Like, clearly it’s really really good, and I like the depth of sound and the way the just go ham mixing orchestral into the balled brit pop vibe.
But there was something nagging at be for the first couple of songs- and it’s mostly that the album is largely overshadowed by blue sky- and I’m not a fan of how the lyrics and story telling of the other songs landed
Its a very fun punky vibe but the album itself isn’t doing anything for me
Like whatever
It did some stuff but was over before I even really locked in
That was awesome. Has some classics that I’ve heard in plenty of places, and others that are right in line with Bowie songs I love.
The little bits of manic piano mashing added a lot of character to what would otherwise be pretty sterile love songs
Woah! Solid blues rock with a couple of psychidelic singles thrown in
Really fun, honestly thought it came out in the 90s early oughts with the kind of sound they had.
Really good time, will relisten
Awesome
Meh
The most 3 star album I’ve ever heard
Great atmosphere
Not too exciting but a lovely lksten
Pretty good
Cute, kinda like if the beatles were slowly getting sucked into a black hole
Beyond the hit everything was pretty flat rnb, just fine
Pretty good, liked the stories it was telling and the beats were really nice
Just sweet
Meh
Just really fun
Any album that gets me teary eyed gets a five imo
Extremely shocked at how contemporary a lot of the songs on this album were. He would be belting out a typical 70s ballad and then a synthesizer and drum break would show up and make it sound like MGM or Tally Hall.
Really great listen Highly recommend
Very nice but kind of flat
Fantastic sound and construction, but hard to differentiate tracks, largely as I don’t speak the language
Beautiful
Not for me
