Great listen. Some classics on here like Elenor Rigby, yellow Submarine. Always lovely to hear a remaster - however I wonder how different the original recordings sounded!
Was a good listen!! Eclectic AF. Liked the orchestration - lots of midi.
Goddess on a Hiway in particular stood out.
And then the first half of Delta Sun was a bangerrr. Admittedly the outro was a little bizarre lol
Good listen. Lots of sing-alongable sections. Sometimes overly repetitive but picturing in a live setting I get this would be very fun to sing along to.
Star Child! ✨
Was pretty chill! Enjoyed the harmonies. Would like to check out more of their music as I know they had a lot of influence on folk/pop music at the time.
Great listen. The first song got me hype and sent off into the rest of the album!
Acid Folk!
I liked the album, felt like it had some root folk influenced but also a lot of spacey almost Grateful Dead vibes.
Pink Floyd is not my particular flavor of classic rock but I really enjoyed this listen. Lots of MIDI and orchestras patches that caught my attention. Would def go back for a relisten
This was an interesting vibe! I thought the first few songs didn’t hook me as much as the Give It Up toward the end.
The singer had a very interesting voice, Michael McDonald esk. Liked a lot of the instrumentation too they chose too. Very unique.
Don’t know why I didn’t LOVE it, think that there’s a lot of space in the music where I felt that not much was going on, so maybe slightly lackluster of an album for me. Very happy to have been exposed to this one regardless!
Alright - I am GENUINELY embarrassed to give my first 5 star rating to a Billy Joel album but I do feel it deserves it. Every one of these songs is a HIT. Personally don’t care much for Italian Restaurant, but that still leaves Only The Good, Anthony’s Song, Vienna. I mean these are anthems and for some reason he was able to put them all on a pretty short album.
I think most curiously, I wonder why Billy gets a lot of hate. Most ppl I know don’t like his music, but I do think his song writing and piano playing is really dope.
Incredible listen. Never sat down to actively listen to Dr Dre, and this was the perfect introductory album for me. Everything from the big name features, to the immaculate transitions between songs made this a great experience.
My only reason for not giving it a 5 is that I found the transitionary tracks like $20 Pyramid and Doctors office to be abrasive. This might also be what ppl love/this isn’t even the music so it shouldn’t hold that much weight. But that was my experience with it.
Would definitely revisit and grateful I know this collection now.
As expected, the lyrics were incredible. My wife and I have loved Blowing in the Wind for years so I was excited to listen to the whole collection. In particular I loved masters of war. Wild how relatable the lyrics are to even today.
All that said, I can’t say I am a huge fan of the timbre of Bob Dylan’s music. I’m a huge John Denver fan for example, love folk, but I feel that Bob Dylan’s music lacks a certain type of musicality that I look for. That’s why I gave this one a lower rating, but his lyrical genius bright this back up to an average 3 for me
Very eclectic. Not my particular style, didn’t really draw me in.
