Not really my vibe, and kind of blended together for me, but I liked the personal touches added that make it feel autnetic.
English band creates the most quintesessential american album ever. Hard rock, folk and blues.
Why hadn't I heard of this guy before now? Some genuinely beautiful songs, incredibly easy to listen to. Love the use of intros and interludes; makes this feel like a very cohesive album, and not just a collection of absolute bangers.
Not really a fan of the grunge genre, but most of the songs were alright, even if the instrumentation was repetitive to my stupid ears. Also a little too much distortion which i'm pretty meh about. Pretty cheesy. I like the harmonisation, but the vocals make me want to die. There was a good balance of hard rock and softer moments, but otherwise not for me.
I can see why when this came out in 1978 people thought it was future music. Alotta beeps and boops, but suprisingly easy to listen to. Its aight to this day.
Kind of a sauceless version of the Kinks. Perfectly listenable but mostly a bit too samey.
But hey, if you're looking for some stock hippie music you ca- oh shit, its *that* song. Yeah that ones pretty good.
Solid country/rock album, great guitar work. Gets progressively harder rock over the course of the album, but I think I prefer the first half to the second. Neil Young has a pretty distinctive voice, but it grows on you in time - kind of like Dylan. No real standouts for me, just consistantly strong throughout. Great intro/reprise.
I liked it.
Pleasant enough sounds, but kind of mopey and dreary, and this is coming from someone who enjoys The National and Radiohead. Solid consistant sound, but nothing really stood out as impressive.
Hallelujah is the best song, which is unsurprising, because it's Leonard Cohen's.
MC5 is to The Clash what a hot air balloon is to a 747. It came first and revolutionised the genre, but I sure wouldn't like to take a hot air balloon to Marbella.
Or something.
Kind of like Revolution 9 if it sounded good and lasted an entire album. Pretty nice sounds here and there but feels like background music a lot of the time. Making deliverately abrasive sounds in the middle of an otherwise good song continues to be a dogshit decision though.
Great guitar, exceptional drumming - I just wish I could like the lead vocals. The best of this era of early 80s mainstream rock. Absolute banger of an album cover.
Sounds a bit like Trent Reznor drowning in quick sand. I like bands that use the wall of sound, but this one didn't fully work for me. All blends together, until you get to around nothing is, in which it all becomes the auditory equivalent of slamming your head in a car door.
Slam poetry night at the noise factory. Jesus fucking Christ.
Nice palette cleanse of an album. Catchy tunes and fun lyrics that remind me of The Flight of the Concords (only much better musically). A breath of fresh air in a list that can feel overburdened with edgy experimental albums.
One of those albums where you see the name and the cover and think "Ah shit here we go again".
Suprisingly listenable... for the most part. I hate it when a band who could otherwise write decent songs like Sweat Loaf and Human Cannonball decide to deliberately make bad and annoying songs because art. I guess thats punk for you.
If you've got a 30 minute elevator journey, I have an album to sell you.
It's okay. Nice even. I don't know, i'm not a jazz guy. It sounded good but it all blended together like a piano in a lounge bar.
It's good I fear. It's good like Sandman, and Father Ted, and Rosemary's Baby, and all those other pieces of influencial art that suddenly leave a bad taste in your mouth because of who made it.
Oh well. Atleast you can say that this was the peak.
Pretty much exactly what I expected to be honest. A great voice, but not a whole lot of variety, despite the back end of the album being loaded with popular covers.
