Track a - very heavy, alto soloist awesome
Track b - plunger sounds so good - like this one a lot more got a slow swing then it speeds up. I like when the saxes come in and are just so sassy
The jazz is very very chaotic (don’t hate it)
Charles Mingus being a bassist and making this music makes a lot of sense
Spotify says he wanted this to be a ballet… not sure that would work very well
Track c - I’ve heard this before! Guitar??? Track c my fav so far by a lot. Blend is so good very good supporting line
Medley - also heard this before love the bass at the start. I love the guitar. Love the sections. 🪠 finally some trombone
This album just got better and better as it went on storytelling so good lots of emotion
Ranking: c > b = medley > a
No (first listen, made it half way through)
Second listen (since *some* people were mad I didn’t like it the first time):
Power of equality sounds like the boy band from lemonade mouth just a little
Redeeming songs: I could have lied, under the bridge, sir psycho sexy (very funk-y and that last bit where he’s not singing is so so good)
Overall still a 2 but those final minutes of sir psycho sexy almost brought it up to a 3. I do appreciate the funk of it all but I don’t think I’ll be revisiting anytime soon
Me when stevie wonder -> 😁😁😆😆😆😆😄😃😃🥳😆🎉🎉😆🙌🙌🙌🎊🎊🎊😁😁😁
My fav stevie is the album made after this one so excited to see what came before
Track 1: I love him so much stevie my king
Love 10 zillion and love the groove on you haven’t done nothin
Refreshing after sex magik and it’s so short! I still like songs in the key of life better but this is very classic stevie and I love
Favorite: you haven’t done nothin
this album contains probably my favorite song of all time - walk of life
thank you to my dad for introducing me early to some dire straits
So far away starts playing and it’s like I'm a teeny tiny child with my dad singing to me 🥺🥺
Like the amount of instrumental and how it complements the lyrics but the second half of the album wasn’t super strong or memorable for me maybe I’m too biased from the ones I know
Favorite is walk of life and second is so far away. Both those songs are five stars but overall …
So many* things to say
this album has made me realize that reggae is really not my thing
Sarah Vaughan just serenaded me through the grad problem on nonlinear
Honestly pretty good
Would be higher if it didn’t feel like one thirty six minute song
Queen II
Awesome. Love. Freddie mercury voice of an angel.
Really liked it and will be realistening
Love how it started so crazy, fast tempo, lots going on and then slowed itself down. Super cool.
Very deserving of my first 5 stars
Lots of brass. I liked it a lot
On the second song - I don’t like it
We will fall has got to be one of the worst pieces of music I have ever had the misfortune of hearing
No fun slightly redeemed this album but I still have lots of hate for the whole thing. The amount of relief I felt when it ended is immeasurable
Not bad but got super repetitive and her voice started to annoy me (this was how I felt on the third song)
End opinion - not a fan but wish I was. I feel like some people might really really like this but there was just something missing for me. I was very happy when it ended. I feel like her voice is a big part of the band’s success but there was something about it that I didn’t like
But really WHO is listening to this
Just not for me.
U2! Yes!
I actually quite like me some dolly
WHAM!
Did not make it through the HOUR AND FORY FIVE MINUTES OF MUSIC but not bad
Definitely not in spanish
So good
Hot chip: good for eating and good for dancing!!!
Really really liked this one
Not sure if it’s the lack of sleep or the stress of having my flight rebooked five times but I quite liked this
Also the band is canadian! And I’m going to canada!
And I’m quite behind of ratings but I’ll use this weekend to catch up
I liked it but I liked sticky fingers quite a bit more. This is a much more mellow stones
So many different styles but my favorites have to be the mellow acoustic ones or really any of paul mccartney’s
Top song - I will
Good
Very much meh
Yep
T swift can drop some heat (or at least she used it be able to before she started dating that FREAK from kansas city)
But I do like this album a bit and it has so long of the t swift songs I would choose to listen to (blank space, style, shake it off, bad blood, wildest dreams, how you get the girl)
I listened to it on friday and at the time I thought it was good but now I remember nothing about it
I liked some of the songs but it just felt like they were trying to tell me something in a very loud and very aggressive way.
It was ok
Kind of underwhelming? I feel like it would’ve been better if I had really sat with the lyrics but on a first listen it just felt like something was missing. I did like a lot of the instrumentals though, very funky
The audience was going crazy
Didn’t hate it though
Just made me feel happy?
I can see its merits but each song just felt three minutes too long (and yes, each song was in total about three minutes long)
Groovy
Was really quite unremarkable for me until I suddenly started recognizing everything
I have a feeling rowan is not going to like this one
Yeah these songs long
