I don't really know much about the rolling stones but they're pretty good here. Sound kinda like Geese in some ways with the guitar and such. I am liking the slower songs and the guy's voice is very expressive. wondering which one mick jagger is
note: mick jagger is the guy whose voice i was praising earlier. awesome!
fav tracks:
Brown Sugar
Sister Morphine
Wild Horses
Track A: yeah this shit is pretty fire. The ending segment is straight gas but sadly I’m too stupid in the music realm to understand what’s going on beyond “this shit good”
Track B: wow yeah I’m starting to get jazz here
Track C: piano banger and I liking it
Track D: Bounced on my boy's dick to this song
Holy shit that bass is so plucky and fat and sexy I’m in love
I can tell that this is gonna be a controversial album amongst this group but I’m having a great time with it (my brother loves this band)
This album definitely reeks of that 90's angst and unredeemable parts of that era: the raunchy lyrics, abrasive vocals, bloated tracklist, etc.
But it's all pretty good actually, I had a great time listening to it. Maybe I deserve to be back in 1992 with bleached tips and baggy jeans and an affinity for saying slurs that we can't quite say anymore in this day and age. The instrumentation was all very good, Chad Smith is a demon on those drums and adds a lot of character to the rhythm, and goddamn that bass just stuck its fingers up my ass and dug around until it hit that golden button. I've never been one to focus on bass in songs, but this album changed that for me. It was a highlight throughout the entire album.
Fav Tracks:
Under the Bridge
I Could Have Lied
Stevie gotta be in top 5 blind people of all time after listening to this album
I loved how personal this album felt, the lyrics were incredibly introspective while also being surrounded by groovy little jams that made me bob my head at a low frequency and amplitude but with as much love as any other song I've listened to.
Fav Tracks:
Smile Please
Creepin'
You Have Done Nothin'
They never know when to end a song do they
Someone is casting spells on that guitar to make it sound like if guitars could have orgasms and by God they can
I can definitely see how this album hits very strongly for a group of people. The overtly political message and underlying spirituality through it all makes it for an enlightening listen for someone so separated from his issues at the time. As a message, this album is as important as it is reserved. Beautifully written and produced without a doubt.
In terms of my listening, it's just okay. Most of the songs sound the same barring the lyrics, and I far more enjoyed the second half than the first. I recognize a lot of the bigger tracks on the second half as well which might make it hit harder. Definitely not something I'd listen to all the time, but I recognize its greatness in the pantheon of reggae and political music.
Makes me want to curl up on a couch with a blanket and a cup of hot chocolate as the rain lightly lands against the screen door to my right, a cat lovingly curled up next to me sound asleep and lightly purring as I am reminded auditorily of the sweeter and softer parts of life, my heart rate slowly and steadily lowering throughout the course of record with Vaughan's voice lulling me into a safer place somewhere outside my normal reach where I can just be okay, a hard thing to be at times
It's okay, makes me want to listen to Heavy Metal by Cameron Winter though (and I did right after)
I remember the first song from the opening intro cinematic from Gorod Krovi in Black Ops 3 Zombies, so that's my favorite song. The lead singer's voice got on my nerves after a while. I can tell that man smoked a lot of meth during the creation of this album, they were not okay when they made this. For the world of metal, this feels like a breakthrough.
