Better than I expected. Not a huge oasis fan, but I had never listened to an entire album of theirs before.
Listening to Shakermaker felt like unlocking a core memory. It must have played on the radio when I was growing up as it conjured up memories of long road trips with the family.
The album helps explain the hype of Oasis to me, as I think having only heard the hits I didn't really get it.
Favorite Track: Shakermaker
This is my first time listening to S&G intentionally. I've avoided them for many years due to the only song of there's that anyone ever plays being sad and over played.
The album as a whole is interesting. I wasn't prepared for the range of sounds. Since all I knew was 'Sounds of Silence', it felt like a nice reprieve to hear something else from them.
Favorite Track: Keep the Customer Satisfied
It's been a minute since I listened to the album front to back, but it still slaps.
Alanis really front loaded the bangers, but it's still a great listen.
Favorite Track: All I Really Want
I don't really have a lot of say on this one. It's a good album, but I'm not sure if it hits for me. It may need another listen down the road for it to truly sink in.
Favorite Track: The Chain
It's not as good as batman, but what is?
Favorite Track: D.M.S.R.
Bad.
Somehow worse than their disco, which I didn't think was possible.
Even though I listened to the entire album, it felt like I didn't. Nothing stuck out to me that wasn't already done by every other 80's artist.
He looks like one of the bad guys from The Goonies.
Listening to this is like an exercise in trying to stay awake while being read the most intensely boring bedtime story you've ever had to endure.
You know, this album surprisingly holds up. I remember owning it as a kid, and I was thinking it wasn't going to be the same, but turns out making techno songs using blues samples does work.
Favorite Track: Honey
Danzig vocals over AC/DC beats?
Not as bad as I thought it would be.
Favorite Track: Highway 61
This song sounds like it could easily be a They Might Be Giants song.
There is some funky bass on this album. Why isn't all their stuff like this?
Favorite Track: The Ledge
A classic, not much to say about it though.
Favorite Track: Passin' Me By
Eh, overrated. I think at the time when this came out it was novel, but now listening to Damon Albarn is tough as he just sounds so melancholy and boring.
Favorite Track: 19-2000
Good stuff, tribal metal sound
Not sure if I had a favorite track but the whole album was consistent and awesome.
Back to the 70s mines.
I thought these guys only had one song, and that it was 'My Girl'. To hear otherwise is, to put it bluntly, earth-shattering.
Favorite Track: Cloud Nine
I wasn't sure if I was going to like this since his Sister-Wife wasn't on the album, afaik. But it does feel like the logical extension of the white stripes.
Favorite Track: Freedom At 21
Good, maybe even 5 stars, but I need to listen to it more to confirm.
Confusing looking at this album on Apple Music as it shows that the artist is a classical artist, but then you play the album and it's Mambo.
Meh
One of those albums that just feels like the 90s in music form, like Portishead but pop?
Perfect album
The theme from the exorcist was bad enough, but to find out there is an entire album.. rough
Hole sucks
Mad boring prog rock nonsense
Some underground shit, if you consider yourself a metal head and you haven't listened to this then you are a poser. Go back to wearing your attitude era wresting shirts. Loser.
First song was pretty good, then it goes down hill from there. I don't really see all the hype.
Remember when the Brady Bunch went to Hawaii and Bobby found an evil idol? What a crazy thing to happen. Greg crashes surfing, Bobby almost killed by a painting, and Peter is nearly bitten by a spider. Then Bobby gets rid of the thing only for Jan to bring it back. Then the crazed archaeologist tries to kill them. After that they have a big party, but like the crazy part was that the trip was all expenses paid, and they even brought their maid. That had to cost a small fortune.
Yeah, I was in middle school too, like any one else. But with 20 years to reflect I can confidently say this album sucks shit. The whole reason I listened to Nirvana was for the hard rock noise that would soon become the staple of classic rock stations. Not for folky cover songs.
What if Bob Dylan spoke like a normal person?
Some of the very best that Riot Grrrl has to offer.
Mid
The album peaks at 'Gimme Shelter', then it has a bunch of nonsense before it gets to another decent song 'You Can't Always Get What You Want'
Apple music has a note about the album that says a producer said not to release the album, and you know what? That producer was right, and the fact that Beck has a career at all is shocking. Doesn't even have loser on the album so what is the point?
More boring dad rock
Like a Prayer still slaps, great song.
What if Bob Dylan and Lenord whoever, but girl?
Why does it feel like they are recorded doing a whisper yell for all the songs. Sounds absolutely terrible.
I'm, just so tired
Who listened to this and thought, everyone has got to listen to this before they die?
weird, some interesting bits here and there, but that's about it.
It's ok.
If I wanted to listen to the smashing pumpkins or the presidents of the united states of america, I would listen to them. Not this faux version
weird
Not my favorite music from Air
Maybe the worst album yet, just truly vile stuff.
I normally don't really mind Jimi, but this album kind of blows. Just a real boring sound.
Hard to believe maps is the single from this album, when every other song is better in everyway
As far as grunge music goes, this one is pretty weak. Surely there has to be better more important albums than this?
