Rio - Duran Duran
1982
4/5
This is an 80s pop rock album which is a genre in which I feel a lot of albums try to copy one another and just feel the same but this one felt stronger (if that makes sense), like each song has a decent amount of character. I do feel that these songs get kinda repetitive from the length and not adding much more, but it was overall a great album.
Onto the songs (scores out of 10)
Rio: 8
My Own Way: 7
Lonely In Your Nightmare: 7
Hungry Like the Wolf: 8
Hold Back the Rain: 7
New Religion: 6
Last Chance on the Stairway: 7
Save a Prayer: 8
The Chauffeur: 7
This is an old folk album that was nice to listen but not too astonishing
Day 3 and already a beatles album...
This shit is fire. We love the Beatles, I've already heard this album before but I'll gladly listen to it again, peak use of drugs.
There are albums I remember, all my life and this one is peak.
5/5 and not even the best album by them
Would reccomend
I get that this is a cover album but the listening experience and instrumentation are genuinely phenomenal. At the beginning I was ready to give this a 5, but throughout the album it kinda dragged on and so I can't say its that good, but still a hard reccomend.
4/5
When you think of the best album you've ever heard a few albums come to mind, and when that happens it becomes very hard to pick just one. You have mind bending experiences and pure emotions going against each other and putting one over another becomes a huge decision. I do not have one singular favorite album because each grand album permits its own greatness. When you're dealing with something so creative and so inspirational it becomes hard to let go of your past feelings in exchange for a ranking among the best. Alas, after all of this, if someone asked me what the best album is today, I'd say All Things Must Pass. This is the first album where George Harrison showed how much of a serious musician he could be. With meaningful songs like Isn't It a Pity, to electric masterpieces of music like Wah-Wah, and both in one like Art of Dying. This is a long album built out of old songs from the latter years of the Beatles yet despite the length, there is not a bad song on this album, and there are more masterpieces than decent songs. This is one of the albums that I will always come back to at one point and at least as of now I have never heard anything better, albeit close, but none as iconic, inspirational, and as beautiful as All Things Must Pass.
I'd give this a 6 if I could but
5/5
The Art of Dying is top 3 songs ever btw.
This was a pretty decent album, kinda radioheadesque
great album
Not really my genre
This is a good late 70s pop rock album, I already listened to it but it was good, nothing phenomenal but probably something I'd hear again.
This is a soul and hip hop album that was honestly really enjoyable albeit not a genre I commonly listen to
3/5
This is a decent punk album but wasn't too entertaining
3/5
How have I not heard this before, this is phenomenal
