Not as good as desire
Favorites: last 4 tracks
Starts strong and ends strong but middle tracks are boring
Actually like 3.5
Good voice
Fun tunes
Favorite song: just a little lovin, breakfast in bed, just one smile
Sounds like mix of Pink Floyd and the Beatles
Lots of variety
Gets slow and boring at the end of some tracks (moonchild)
Moonchild is really boring past the 2 minute mark

I had never heard of CHIC before this album so this was my first real exposure to them. I definitely have heard some of these songs at some point because they sound vaguely familiar. “Good times” is the first track and is the one that sounds the most familiar. There’s no reason for this track to be 8 minutes though. This seems to be a pretty common theme across the album of having a groovy fun original 1-2 minute segment and stretching it out way further than needed. “A Warm summer night” and “my feet keep dancing” are the other 2 biggest offenders of this making the first half of the album kinda a slog to get through. The second half continues the trend but because the songs are 2-4 minutes rather than 6-8 it’s a lot less noticeable and more
manageable. I really do like the songs here and they sound good just not when I’ve heard the same thing over and over again. “Will you cry(when you hear this song)” is my favorite on the album because I find it to be the most interesting. While this one does have some repetition it’s only 4 minutes long. Overall this album wasn’t bad but also wasn’t anything too special. I can’t see myself coming back to this one anytime soon. The album gets 2.5 stars, decent
Catchy tunes
Pretty similar sounding throughout
Slightly underproduced sound but it works really well for this album
Favorites: its not true, much too much, my generation
Good but also it’s in another language so it’s harder to get into
I like the background singers
Probably like 2.5
Favorites: ponta De lança africano, taj mahal
This was a pretty pleasant surprise
I really love the singers voice it’s unlike anything I’ve heard before
Super cool
The bass is really good on this album
Favorites: stop your sobbing, up the neck, precious, lovers of today
I didn’t realize changes wasn’t Black Sabbath that’s cool
Apart from that it’s just classic Black Sabbath like with first track
Favorites: changes, wheels of confusion
Probably actually 3.5
Reminds me of eagles
Favorites: candyman, friend of the devil
These songs all feel very dramatic and exciting. I really like this this was a good surprise
Split feels very fun and exciting as well
Almost reminds me of Agatha all along songs I think because of the voice
I like the male singer that occasionally appears and his voice works really well with utes
Lowkey female meatloaf
You were meant for me builds throughout the song and is just so fun and exciting. I wish this was the closer instead because the true closer is weaker than the rest of the album
Favorites: the case continues, split, you were meant for me
Probably closer to 4.5 but I’ll give it 5 case 4 feels too unfair
Classic Coldplay
Great album
Average middle school hallway experience
I felt like I had already known a bunch of these songs since so many I heard a ton when I was younger
Actually 3.5
Favorite: he wont go
Wow!
Perfect
5/5
#3 album oat
Favorites: the whole album
Boring kinda
Favorite: lsi, leb whol
I find this album to be a very good introductory album to Nirvana. Not just if you’ve never listened to them but also if you’re like me and only knew nevermind. The songs off of nevermind were the only ones I knew at first from this album but I quickly grew to really appreciate these other ones. This album has incredible tracks spanning all 3 of the bands albums while also including really great covers of a few different songs. This album was my first introduction to “about a girl”. I really really like this song and it’s one of my favorite on the album. It goes so hard. “The man who sold the world” is a pretty controversial one but in my opinion I find bowies to be infinitely better than this cover. It’s definitely not bad by any means whatsoever but bowies is just better. I find it crazy how many people only know nirvanas version of this song. Maybe it’s just because I’m such a huge Bowie fan but I’d take the original version of the song any day. The other covers here are really good such as “Jesus doesn’t want me for a sunbeam” and “lake of fire”. I really like the meat puppets covers and it definitely intrigues me to listen to them. My favorite cover is also the closer of the album, “where did you sleep last night”. I really like Cobain’s vocals here. I think I prefer the acoustic version of “all apologies” to the original. The guitar is so so beautiful. This really is one of the best songs ever recorded and is easily my favorite Nirvana song. The guitar intro is also just so iconic. This album really left an impact on me after I first listened and I’ve continuously come back since. This may be my favorite Nirvana project just for how well spread it is throughout their whole catalog while including additional covers. It gets 4.5/5 stars, nearly flawless. My favorite song is “all apologies”
Very very solid
Definitely surprised me
Reminds me of Coldplay but less British
Favorites: pounding, m62 song, there goes the fear
Back half is the one of the best runs of songs ever produced
Favorite: octopus’s garden
Wish it was longer literally 2 minute average song for only 20 minutes total
All very similar
Very punk
This album is just really mid tbh
All the songs are the same hardly any diversity
And the song formula they found just isn’t that good
Green Day level production with not as good lyrics or music
Favorites: betray
Like 2.5
Just like… not very good
Background Noise
2/5
Favorite: title track I guess
