To Be Continued...
Let's just say that in "Sledgehammer", he's not actually talking about a sledgehammer...
Ah, I see! So this is what influenced the jazz freak out at the end of Radiohead's "The National Anthem"! "Track B" was definitely my favorite here, but when it comes to the closing track, there are parts I liked (especially in the last 5 or 6 minutes), but I didn't love every second of it. Still a very solid jazz album!
I love the message, but I don't love every single song, so this is a low 4, with the stellar production saving a lot of it.
I thought it was boring the first time I listened to it, and I still do. "The Fairest of the Seasons", "These Days", and "I'll Keep It with Mine" are pretty good though.
THE ONE PIECE IS REEEEEAAAALLLL!!!!!
This is by no means perfect, but I love the atmosphere on this album
Well of all things I could've expected this album to be, this wasn't it. Also Pinky from Animaniacs on the mic in "Fodderstompf"
At it's best, it's decent, but at it's worst it's just boring. This album is just so painfully 90s.
I'm starting the "1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die" challenge, and this is definitely not the best start. I have obviously heard worse albums, but this one's still not great. The mixing and production is pretty bad, like I've heard older albums with better production. Alice Cooper also decides to add weird adlibs to several songs which practically ruin those songs for me. There were only really 2 songs that I would actually return to, those being "Hello Hooray" and the best song on the album "No More Mr. Nice Guy".
If this were just the first disk, it would be a 10/10 album. However, that doesn't mean the rest isn't good, because there are great tracks and moments on both Disk 2 and the Apple Jams. Outstanding album, probably the best double album I have listened to so far!
Not quite as good as All 'N All, but it's still got some very funky bangers.
I like the first 3 tracks. The rest are boring though.
I'm glad we got a garage rock revival in the 2000s, because if this album is a representation of the genre in the 60s, the 2000s bands did waaayyy better. There is literally nothing special about this.
This is good and all, but I just don't think that reggae is really my thing. It's a bit too repetitive and not enough sonic diversity. Well, at least with this album. This is the only reggae album I have listened to, so maybe other albums are more interesting. It's still a low to mid 4.
