Let the times roll: OMG las trompetas. Its so groovy !! so mmmhg yeah !!! and his voice!!! love it already. Feels very movie like for me (maybe it IS used in movies??) and very 50s. It is from the 50s lol. The quality of the audio isn't that great but that's no one's fault but technology. But it's the only thing so far that makes me kinda uncomfortable. I have to listen sith the volume on almost the lowest cause if not it saturates my headphones (and they're not bad headphones!!)
It had to be you: the scratchy and the voice breaking is so ugghh. the piano, the drums. Love love. Kinda reminds me of my grandpa, but that may just be the jazz.
Alexanders ragtime band: I'm really loving how the songs are all strung together, although that's to be expected in an older album. They really dont make music like before. I'm not really listening to the lyrics cause 1. i dint want to get disappointed and 2. can't really make out what he's saying
Two years of torture: the song's name caught me off guard cause. I was thinking how this qould be perfect to have playing in the living room, while having some wine and petting my cat, just listening to music. maybe with some friends. Then i listened to the lyrics and it really just is a lovesick man with a broken heart.
when your lover has gone: his voice has a really nice rasp, along with some vibrato that i really like and think pairs very well with the trumpets. (just saying whatever. honestly why do i act as if i knew anything about music) I would REALLY want to listen to this in a woman's voice. a nice mezzo, or even an alto, with a very warm and clear but rich tone.
Deed I do: now it feels like one single song, to be honest. The whole album I mean. I like it though. It's mainly because of the drums. And at the same time. Isn't that the point of an album? and of jazz in general? to be one cohesive thing and at the same time every song and melody is unique? (again. just hooting and hollering over here. What the hell do i know about music? nothing!)
Just for a thrill: oh this is very romantic. st least the start. like. the violins? (or are they violas? or cellos?) the backup singers? stunning. I love this one. I really feel like I'm in my couch having a drink and just listening to this, the low lights on, everything a very orange-y warm tone. His vocals are so nice in this one too. Love it, really.
You wont let me go: like the start. still got that calmer vibe since the last song. He doesnt have that big of a range, but he makes it count, I belive. It doesnt really matter, the songs dont need crazy ups and dons for it to be good.
Tell me youll wait for me: starts a little more creepy, more mysterious. Suspicious, melancholic. His voice sounds more strained at times, or maybe more like strangled. Could be emotion, could be the high notes. Who knows. I really like "youll wait for me" little riff? melody? Dont really know what it is. Its a nice passage.
Dont let the sun catch you cryin: this intro really reminds me of some brazilian songs. Which ones i dont know. Tom jobim, probably. Yeah. Something like that. His voice is so raspy. (Ray charles', not tom). It really feels like an old disney movie song sometimes. Probably the saturated audio and the strings + the choir/backup vocals in the background.
Am I blue: oh nice strings intro, very nice. It somehow makes it feel older. The flute too. Pretty melancholic. MAes sense by the title, honestly. And the whole style so far. What I think is the best, is how with the same instruments, with the same everything, he can give us both a dancing happy song and a sasd ballad like this. Love the ending piano repeating into the distance.
Come rain or come shine: feels like coming back home half drunk, with the sun getting up. You're tired and heavy and your head is splitting and yet! The sun is so pretty and everything looks so peaceful and it's summer, so you may as well just stay up for a little more. MAkes me remember rio, for a reason. The streets leading to ipanema. Or something of that sort. Warm mornings, even after a full niht of no sun. Could be the global warming, the about of concrete and machinery on the coty. And at the same time it could just be that that's how it is.
Overall, it's a really nice ending for the album. Give a little closure with all the buildup to the abrupt end, so it doesnt feel abrupt. Really love it.
My fav has to be just for a thrill or dont let the sun catch you cryin
bitter sweet symphony will always remind me of my mom. it feels like I'm borrowing her songs, her music, her style.
sonnet i like a lot. it's still calm-ish, compared to the next one. I don't have much more to say i guess
the rolling people: something in the guitar, at some poit, reminds me of ok computer. Don't know what really but there's something there. Maybe its the guitar paired with the echoey vocals, or SOMETHING im no music ceitic i cant explain everything dude
okay I'll stop rating song by song now cause. too hard lol. but!!! i feel like they keep switching from romantic to depressed between songs. which honestly mood, yknow? but it puts me off a little.
also im listening to catching the butterglu right now and it REALLY gives me ok compiter vibes..maybe it's a production thing od the época, who knows.
I REALLY LIKE THE BASS AND DRUMS IN NEON WILDERNESS its so grrr i think its my favourite song so far. And it's comforting but also kinda eerie you know.
(i searched it up and ok compiter is from the SAME YEAR almost the same day just a few month older. 21 of may and 29th of september)
maybe its because the album is mlre than an hour long, but at the end it kind of just... didn't do anything to me. I'll have to listen to it again. But at the same time I'm going off the first listen for these so..... idk really.
like it, but not wngouh for a 4
the last song was a nice surprise though
al final, depsues de escucharlo una swgunda vez, me gustó mucho más. tal vez llegue a 4. the drugs don't work es otra favorita
i really liked it!! so far all these albums are very well put together, like a single line of though, but this one has to be the best one so far. For me this type of music is PEAK study music, cause i can listen to in in the background without getting distracted. and Kurt's voice has something that i find so cool idk what it is. He sounds half dead and i find that so cool. I did givenit a second listen, go actually foxus on the sogns instead of the general vibe of the album, and i really enjoyed it both times. A very BERY sold 4. could maybe go to five. im not sure yet though
its very roadtrip worthy. that's the first thing that coems to mind. or cooking. or like a hangout with friends and making pizza. for some reason it gives me james potter vibes. i liked it a bunch, but I'm not sure if I'd listen to it again. I mean that in like. It didn't stand out, you know? maybe it's just not my style, or I'd have to give it another listen. But i liked it!! it's pretty good.
I mean. It's Adele. What else is there to say
I do have to say it's not my usual style of music, and if it were someone else I wouldn't stand it that much, but her vocals make up for so much of it. Also there's so many iconic songs in this album nad it's just *cheffs kiss*
Not sure what my favourite song is yet, and I'll give it s couple listens, but so far it's great!!!!!!
it's not my favourite type of music, so I'll give it a 3, maybe?? i won't be listening to it again i think
ABSOLUTELY INSANE OH MY GOD????? HUGE FAN OF THIS ARE YOU KIDDING ME ITS SO FUCKING GOOD DUDE. I'd listen to thins of repeat over and over and over
this is what plays on a road trip when it's getting late and you are away from any real place to stop at night, but miraculously you stumvle upon a camping site and there's not much to do other than set up your tent and make a small fire and you have a guitar and your olay this with your friends and you're close enough to the fire for it to burn your faces, but the nights are hard around here and your backs are cold, and you kinda want to get away from the fire and at the same time you just want it to swallow you. And you don't have much food left so you try and fail to make a dinner out of it. And it's not the best but also not the worst you've ever eaten, and it'll have to do.
love it. very witchy, very rainy day very autumn night, very grrrr
Loved it. Comd is my favourite (but i already knew it so it doesn't really count i guess)
the first few songs felt very videogame-like, it reminded me a lot of pikmik Bloom music jsjsj.
Soem songs were a little too weird to me, but i liked it quite a bit overall
theres this one slng that reminds me of the bridge in potion approaches by AM
MD RE GUSTO

en ealidad no es que no me gustaron es mas que tipo. no sé, era un poco repetitivo
