A once rebel speaking out against oppression now a "Christian" supporting the Trump regime. Sad.
Favorite song: Paint it, Black (of course, there's a reason that song has withstood the test of time and become a classic). Surprise favorite song: I am Waiting. Song I struggled to make it through: the final song, Going Home. 11 minutes and 13 seconds of absolute nonsense in the worst, most self-indulgent, nonsensical way. Overall I give this album 3 stars, there are a couple of redeeming classics / good songs, but an equal or greater number of what fell on my ears as duds.
I enjoyed listening to something that I would never have found and listen to otherwise. It was interesting to hear sounds that are from another culture and different from the typical USA music styles and archetypes. It was relaxing and fun to have on as background music that was still mentally stimulating, but not something I think I'd seek out to listen to again.
Really like the overall sound of Morrissey, very angsty - reminds me of my youth during my angsty teenage years.
Another album that I wouldn't have listened to without this app. The music reminds me of the 80's and has a very British orchestral rock sound. I don't think I'd go out of my way to play this album, but maybe... It definitely grew on me as I listened.
Definitely the sounds of the 60s/early 70s. Not something I'd seek to listen to, but interesting. This album is kind of crazy - 3 "songs" - one clocking in at almost 20 minutes long.
Two hits on this album and the other songs are not ones I'd be likely to listen to again.
I didn't realize how misogynistic a lot of their lyrics are. A lot of good dance-able tunes that I enjoyed, often in spite of the actual words that were troubling.
Most of this album sounded like either a) a radio station that was really going out of tune (mostly static) or possibly some kind of music that was way over-amped? or b) a skipping record. Did not enjoy.
This album is from 1981 and it sounds like 1981. I remember OMD as being a bit fringe and not too mainstream, I'd classify this album as "easy listening" and not particularly interesting or compelling in any way.
This album definitely reminds me of the punk sounds of the 80's, which makes sense since it is from 1984. My favorite track was Sixteen Blue. I don't think I'd go out of my way to listen to it again, though I would say I found it more listen-able to my tastes than some of the other albums I've rated at 3 stars. I guess I'd go with a 3.5 star if there were one.
I hadn't heard of or listened to this artist before. She was fine, but I think I would go to Billie Holliday or Ella Fitzgerald first as they have a similar sound / era and I have listened to them before.
A great album from what is called the "Golden Age" of Genesis, when both Phil Collins and Peter Gabriel were in the band. Their voices united create such a beautiful, rich sound. The album is definitely a point in time and sounds like the early 70's, but it is really enjoyable to listen to - lots of variety and rich sounds, from voices through all the instruments, to composition of the components.
Britney was a little after my time and listening to it now it strikes a saccharine naïve note of that era / youth that isn't pushed as much (pining away for teenage love). I really like her dance tunes but there were a lot of slow duds and one golden oldie which was a somewhat surreal experience (Sonny Bono's The Beat Goes On).
