Escuchar esto a los casi 40 años debe ser una experiencia muy diferente que a los 16. No me dieron ganas de rebelarme, me dieron ganas de gritarle a alguien más joven que no se está rebelando bien.
Sobrevalorado, además de los sencillos los discos de REM siempre suenan planos.
Gran disco pero creo que siempre voy a preferir el lado mas pop de The Cure
Bueno, siempre nos quedará Cold Little Heart
I understand why people would love or hate this album. If I had listened to this when I was younger I probably would have loved it but now it sounds too flat, too empty and overall pretentious as a lot of music that came out in the early 2000's. Not bat at all but seems like a wasted spot if we're talking about the 1001 albums you should listen to
Maybe I'm more of a casual Led Zeppelin listener and shouldn't listen beyond IV cause this felt like too much. Besides three or four a songs I didn't enjoy this album.
I used to think I was a Rolling Stones person but now I think I'm a Beatles person. Yet, nobody will let me marry their daughter.
Depression never sounded this angry and this good. If you love this album you might need ask for help or you are an elder millennial.
Very sexy music for very unsexy times, maybe I'll appreciate it more in the future.
This is the perfect example for generic 90's rock. Guys that know how to play their instruments but don't have any memorable melody inside them. Sounds like music made for a fake band in a 90's teenage movie.
I've listened and been touched countless times by the maggot brain guitar solo song but I never felt like listening to the whole album. It's not bad, it's a very good album but at the same time that maggot brain is the best and most interesting song the rest of the album has a lesser impact and maybe I was expecting a different sound just for the name of the band, not very similar to what I think when I think of "funk".
Monae tries to make rock, rap, soul, pop, sometimes on different songs, sometimes more than one thing at the same time and she has the talent to make a very interesting product while she tries but at some moments she doesn't achieve that during this album. She gets better results on the next one The Electric Lady. A good album that dares to try but doesn't succeed as much as it wanted to.
It sounds at first like a hard rock album but it's sound pretty quickly as 60's folky hippie songs and it stays moving back and forth between those intentions. I had never listened to this band, the good moments were really good, the bad moments were really boring but I'd be willing to listen to another more consistent one.
Better than expected but not my type of music.
Another rock and roll album with covers? This rolling stones boys will be over before they put out anything worth listening to.
2.5 ⭐
Talking about brit pop this Super Furry Animals album wasn't supposed to be one of its best examples, there is no recognizable voice, there is not one memorable melody but is no supposed to be ignored either. It's just... acceptable. An ok debut album by a band that endure the test of time by being an ok band and were for better or for worse part of a movement that for some time dominated the music environment.
Loved it. I hadn't eve heard her name before, I wasn't expecting much but it was a pleasant surprise. Not every song is a master piece but it has enough great moments and the album as a whole is cohesive enough to be called a great album.
Horrible. Boring, over sentimental on every song. You would expect someone that looks as such a loser as in the cover at least learned to write good songs but the lyrics seemed to be written by a highschool boy that wants to write poetry. This album makes me wonder if finding new music is worth listening to music this bad.
Someone said they it deserved 5 stars just because Gimmie shelter and it has some of the best songs in their career but it also has some weak moments.
Waaaay to folky for me.
I really liked it. At its best moments it made me think of how could sound a female led and more conventional tool but at its worse it made me think of a very generic nu metal band and that range it's too wide. Still I'm glad I discovered this band. Almost a month within this project this is the first new album I discovered that I really enjoyed
The only song that I had listened by the pretenders was the Ramones cover "something to believe in" in the "We're a happy family" tribute album. It was the quietest, slowest song in the album but it was one of the best. If they were part of the punk movement before being considered new wave, that is a good way to classify them, like the softest part or punk but still really good. The whole album is good, not one song seems out of place or made to fill space but not one single song was that good to consider this as a great album.
Old people music... I loved it.
Some good moments but not enough or good enough to justify this long of an album.
Based on the reviews I was expecting something much worse and this is not bad, it's quite good actually but it's more brit pop, makes me wonder if most of the critics were English that there are so many brit pop albums in this list. I guess that's the problem with a 1001 list of anything, you are not only listening to the album you are comparing the album to what you've listened to and what you are expecting to listen to and I hope I can listen to a lot less brit pop.
More brit pop. But I cant be unbiased with this one, I listened to it in highschool and it was my door to understanding what britpop was.
I was expecting to like this album because I liked Fragile but it was really boring. Maybe it was added to the list as an album with historical value for what was to come for the band.
Albumiño exelentiño
4 estrellas para black magic woman, 2.5 para el disco en general. Un momento brillante dentro de un disco muy genérico.
