i think over all it s a good album ? i'm saying this not because i liked it as an individual but because of the historical impact.
I have a hard time relating to the music or understanding what it wants me to feel. I get a general sense of confusion, which i am sure is intentional on his part.
The first song i just really didnt like, i had a really hard time with it, but second one especially around 15:40 i really loved. The guitar is really smooth, its absolutely enchanting, kinda like remembering a magic childhood memory that shaped you into who you are today. It's so simple yet so impactful. I really like the end of the second track.
I wish he would just slice the songs more to have more tracks :(
i'm just not the audience i think

Having sat with it now the whole night, i really changed my opinion on it, or at least for the second track. The guitar at the beginning is so soft but evocatif, I cried while listening to it.
It s hard to put into words why it hit me so hard but it did. Even now I get emotional thinking about the beginning of that piece.
I like the middle way more too, I'm starting to understand the jazz feel of it. I can t say I understand these tracks but I am starting to appreciate them more.

This is a master piece, magic in musical form
I think saying that adele has a beautiful voice is a bit of a given. i d say over all i liked the album, of course the famous ones but surprisingly also "i'll be waiting". I didnt really expect her to do these types of tracks and i've been listening to it a lot.
I think what made listening to the album a lot of fun was finding out it's kinda hannigram core :))
It was a lot of fun to imagine scenarios, animatics, who s speaking how it relates to the plot.
In that sense it was a lot of fun, but i don really remember the rest of the tracks.
Over all good!
ATTITUDEEEEE
Brother attitudeeeeeeeee the guitars are really goooooood
surprisingly sad lyrics ? it s interesting how introspective it is while also making social commentaries. Never would have expected it from this album. These seems to be a lot of questioning on what love is, and what it makes you do or feel. Is it really worth it or not. This seems to be a running theme, with it sometimes being a positive, sometimes being a negative.
There s a recuring theme of sadness, wondering why we are alive. for how happy the visuals are, and how vibrant the music is, its really dark. It's like someone screaming in a colorful void. Its quite strange
I definitly get the psychedelic vibe with the third stone from the sun
Foxey is so funn
We are back to cheating and running after love. I wonder what happened in his life for that to be such a big problem. There s a big emphasis on not being understood or heard or seen
Red house OHHHHHHHHH the introoooo Damn what an album. i'm surprised i was able to stay focused the whole time !!! was really nice reading the lyrics with it too
-------
This gave me a very different look to Jimi Hendrix. I usually associat him with the peace and love moubement and so I guessed his music would be about that and weed and partying.
Not at all, it s an incredibly sad album, always juggling between the live of others and the love of oneself.
There s an on going sense of isolation, a fear of not being seen and a fear of commitment with women. The riffs are of course amazing, the songs are catchy and fun to listen to but ya I was really surprised.
I'm really struggling with the rating because yes I really like this album but I don't know if I love this album. Historically and for who the person is this definitely deserves 5 stars but I don't know if I'm gonna come back to it.
I have been able to sit down the whole time and fully listen to it no breaks and that to me means something.
I love the approche that he took for this album. i'm such that during this time this was a revolutionary album where younger folks felt seen and heard.
I think this is just not an album made for me, which is perfectly fine, but i cant remember any melodies or songs.
It was not a bad listen by any means, i was dancing to it at some point in the street but i dont have any strong feelings about it.
Like a lot of these albums i love the historical value of this album i just don't really care for it. It's one of those albums where you had to be there :)
I haven t grown up with disco, it was never a big part of my life.
Seeing the other comments and them writing about how impactful it was, i do wish i understood the time period more but i just dont.
While i do think the songs are a lot of fun in the beginning, halfway through, they keep on repeating and it gets quite annoying.
I want to enjoy this album because i dont listen to disco and want to broaden my taste, but it's maybe just not the album for me.
I think if you love disco and know the history, this is an amazing album. It's just not for me personally :(
But if someone wants to explain the historical impact of this album 100% willing to listen.
Brother attituuuuuuude
The voice is absolutly spendide
The lyrics seem to be boiling with anger in the first song. There seems to be a controlled outburst of energy. Like if anything were to happen you d get the full explosion of emotion she is going through with it very exciting
the intonatino and the voice is really really what captures my attention; The lyrics aren't bland either which is fun, i m really enjoying this album so far. The instrumental is very simple sometimes to a fault but, i wouldnt want it to get in the way of the voice so i'll forgive.

I dont think i was able to finish the album, i thought over all it was good ? I really like when she does more intense songs. These slow soft one seem a little boring to me. She has an incredible voice but it's a shame that the songs are a little boring :/
Lady Soul is an absolut pleasure to listen to.
The voice is incredible, the attitude is present and I ve been listening to it all day.
I know nothing of her and the history of the album didn't really say much, but I'm glad to know her now. I think this is probably gonna be an album I listen to a lot !!!!
Knowing the story behind this album, it definitely makes it more interesting (and it being a big pillar in the gothic genre)
I don't think I can say I liked it, I think it s just not for me, I can appreciate the effort that went into it and the commitment but I don't see myself listening to this album anytime soon
I will say I had an interesting experience with this album, I was able to fall asleep on the bus but the music kept playing. I had this ongoing sense of fight off something evel. I was trying to keep something bad from escaping my body or mind. There was an other person telling me to be strong. A strange experience to say the least.
I'm putting 2 stars not because I think it s bad but because I just couldn't listen to it
I didn't have a proper listen to this album, so I ll revisit it later.
