This is embarrassing but I’ve only heard Respect before- god I was missing out. The talent, the love, the romance??? Amazing.
Summer breeze was the highlight and I really loved the interview- I think this would’ve been 5 stars if I wasn’t comparing it to yesterday’s!
It’s cool to learn where a lot of famous samples came from! A little too one-note for me though
I can go either way on live albums, but this really added to it! I think I’m not a huge blues guy though. This was still really catchy and fun.
Makes me think of summer, calling your friends on landlines, and what it was like to have friends and neighbors before the iPhone age. Also realizing the supreme debt owed by all the 2020’s hip hop artists I listen to.
I need a garage, and a car that I’m ‘going to fix up soon’, and a six pack, and the sluttiest little jorts the world has ever seen.
Sympathy for the Devil is probably one of my all-time favorite songs but the rest of this album didn’t hold up for me.
As a metalhead this is foundational- heavy, skillful and powerful. It’s not five stars because ironically I prefer a lot of Metallica covers to actual Metallica songs; near the end all I could think about was Miley Cyrus’s ‘Nothing Else Matters’.
Perfect balance of catchy and atmospheric! South Side was probably the first trip hop song I really liked years ago and the rest of the album 100% holds up.
The difference between Van Morrison’s live and studio energy is really big- I think I prefer his studio albums more but this was still very easy listening.
Not liking Björk is my generation’s version of men not liking Yoko Ono…so it gives me great pain to admit I don’t really enjoy her vocals. I’m so sorry Björk your outfits are always fire though
Perfectly fine Rock and Roll- a good reminder of why it was banned/had so many social objections at the time
Very middle of the road for me!
Only knew them for the disco- but really enjoyed this one on the drive to work! I also told the really scary site super at one of my jobs about listening club and he sang me one of the songs off this album acapella. It was surreal
I feel like this is a fantastic album for a very very specific mood, but it’s too thin to have listening to it be your only activity. Unfortunately makes me think of the nonzero number of weird sexual encounters it has probably scored too
Everyone get more weird this instant
I usually really like this genre, but something in a lot of the tracks didn’t really hit for me. Skin has an amazing voice though!
Pleasant classic rock! I know I’m saying a lot of these are middle of the road, but once again this album was catchy and perfectly fine.
Great album for desk work/studying! Not quite lofi but very easy listening- the kind of thing I want on at a coffee shop or maybe a club when it’s closing.
Really pleasant! Made me think about the level of skill it takes to sit down and play a piano for this long.
I don’t usually enjoy or really understand jazz, but this was very fun!
The big songs from this album are classics for a reason, but again I’m running into the ‘all the songs kind of sound the same’ wall.
I looooove new wave and talk talk talk is required listening. Been very angsty this month and this album was just what I needed
This is what I want from live albums! Absolutely spectacular
Was catchy but gave me the ick big time
Incredibly wide range for one album- I liked some songs more than others but as a whole really enjoyed it! In a word: moving.
Very funky, very 90s, enjoyed about 50% of it
I was only really familiar with message in a bottle before this- this is a solid album! It is also funny to see Sting with this much hair on the album cover.
The first half of this album was a bop, the second half just got on my nerves a little
I used to play The The a lot on my new wave radio show, but I feel like Infected is kind of horny in a sinister way.
I’ve never listened to this much soundgarden at once- made me realize some doom metal and punk influence id never noticed before! Very pleasant
This was a thinker! I kind of love ‘songs about dances that aren’t line dance songs’ as a genre so a fun first track. As a whole though, I felt like the album jumped around a little too much to be more than the sum of its parts. This whole listening experience has given me a new appreciation for entire album runs!
Listening to this album was like soaking in a hot spring I feel healed
A really good concept album! Classic for a reason
Groovy in the extreme
Incredibly weird retro sleaze that managed to bust out a slutty baseline every time I was about to turn it off for being annoying.
This made me kind of emotional! I’m not usually an acoustic guy but I loved this it was so pretty.
Really could not place the genre on this one- I enjoyed it!
I think I just don’t like Genesis. The instrumental sections were pretty though
I will be honest I could not finish- I’m sorry Björk. Extra star bc the instrumentals were very moving
Very one note but Radiohead makes great ‘soundtrack’ albums!
Groove so strong I can’t believe I’m still standing- Chameleon was the highlight for me.
Really great moody indie!
For whatever reason I really preferred are you experienced to electric ladyland
I was familiar with the story of the album and Lazarus, but not the rest of the track list. Bowie is truly the master of the concept album, and Blackstar is so funky and so, so sad- but surprisingly joyful.
First wave is my fav genre and this album is great!!! I used to play it on my radio show :)
See I love country when it sounds like this
All bangers
Some bars are definitely dated but for the most part the pure talent and creativity on this album just fantastic.
It’s so cool to learn more about the original influences for thrash metal! Not my usual casual listening choice but very nice.
I think the problem with being the group that made the wall is that all your other albums will be compared to the wall. This was good but a little slow for me!
A little too much speedy synth for me
Everyday is Like Sunday is my favorite Morrissey song, but he definitely has better solo albums. Wish half stars were an option
SOOOOO 90’s omg- I need to go to a coffee shop in a Lycra turtleneck so I can listen to this again
Move over divorced dad music, this is divorced mom music.
I like War better but U2 are legendary for a reason!
Catchy and classic! Not loving the misogyny though
Often imitated, never replicated!
I love post hardcore! Listening to this album made me want to pick up bass again.
So good! I really like this genre and I tend to enjoy it even more in the rare instances when they have frontwomen.
