Undeniably great. Easy to imagine having lived in these times and this being your favorite album ever and being tied to all your good memories like Cal in Euphoria S2. If I grew up on this I'd probably know how to play guitar or drums. And shout out to the outro: asks to take you home tonight and ends up taking you to church instead.
Teezo Touchdown - Stranger
Honky tonk indeed. I liked this for what it was but it still felt underwhelming. Songs felt like they were too short, like they could have been longer and more interesting but the moonshine and sadness only lets us jam for so long.
Great raw old timey speakeasy blues vibes you can feel. Personally not a fan of the vibrato style and never have been, but I understand it as a product of the vulnerability. And since If I Should Lose You made me cry I clearly don't hate it as much as I claim.
The Story of O.J. - Jay Z
Given Up On Me - The Weeknd
This was cool. I don't listen to Nirvana like that so a live set doesn't do that much for me. My best bet would be to revisit this after having listened to them a bit.
Edit: listened more closely and it got worse lol they can't really play in time and Cobain can't really sing and some of the songs sound the same. This floats closer to 2.5 than 3.
Good stuff. Creative songwriting but didn't have me crawling back for more.
Edit: Turns out I did in fact crawl back for more so giving another star. Pretty bangin
A beautiful mix of miami vice cruisin and a cigarette-smoke-filled bar where the singer tonight has really been through some shit.
Cool calm casual listenin. I can smell the sea and feel the breeze. Now if only I knew how to samba.
Fun relaxing listen. Soothing voice and great band
Cool listen but nothing there to change my life. Feels like great drunk pub music though fwiw
Even Prince could not save you, sounds basic. But maybe this was amazing and groundbreaking at the time.
Meh. I can hear/visualize who the target audience is here and I love this for them, but I'm gonna head out
Vocal ability is off the charts, the hits are still really great even though the b sides left room for improvement
My west coast bias might be clouding my judgement, but this is so good. Very fun and silly and vulgar, but got dayum the high energy production and catchy raps are a match made in doggy heaven
D'evils - Jay Z
You Ain't Gotta Lie - Kendrick Lamar
Great band, nice blues and rock, enjoyed this album and excited for their others
Didn't like this. Most of the time was just noisy, like a group of kids got together with their parents instruments and were banging around
Fun girl rock to skate to. We got the beat will always be awesome. Too monotone for a higher rating, but solid and enjoyable
Loved all the instrumentation and how the songs felt like a journey.
Rad and talented. Cult of personality still a banger.
