Brings me back to the millennium. Ambient electronic sounds. I like how the lead singer uses his voice as an instrument
Haven’t listened to this in ages. It was so overplayed in the 1990s, but really does have some nice tunes on it. All I Really Want is so catchy!
Not really a genre I’m familiar with, but had a nice listen
Some really good stuff on this album. I’ve never listened to much Stevie Wonder. This was a surprise!
Maybe this was groundbreaking when it came out, but now it just sounds like TV commercial jingles
I’d never heard this album before, although a few of the songs I have encountered. Cities is by far my favorite, although the whole thing has a cool, timelessness to it.
Not bad, but I have to work to like BritPop
There are those two famous songs and then a couple of OK ones and the rest are forgettable. Sweet Emotion is a pretty good tune though.
“You sure look fine tonight, in the beer sign light.”
That pretty much sums up my opinion of this album. It was a real stretch to listen to this until the end. Another time and a different cultural aesthetic. I’m not really into lives or women who bask in the light of beer signs
Kinda cute. The kind of music my mom used to hum in the kitchen while working when I was a kid
Interestingly unexpected. Enjoyed the novelty, but not something I imagine ever coming back to. Music from another age
Better, in my opinion, than Parklife. I enjoyed this listen, but I’m not really sure if I *needed* to listen to this album.
Hmm, this album was interesting. F**k the Police is still so on point even after decades. Gangsta Gangsta somehow made me want to love violence and cars and money and hoes. Then I realized it was that kind of teenage fascination with misunderstood adult things. Finally I have decided that is all this album is. It was pathbreaking, but I’m not sure it was a path that needed breaking
I wanted to like this album and what it was trying to be. I wanted cool, but all I heard was derivative nostalgia—youthfully earnest retro takes on music from another time. This album is that bad movie sequel they made instead of spending money on something new.
Dolly was a true great, but I’ve never been able to get into anything other than her few popular songs. This album is no exception.
When this popped up as the record of the day, I began to hum the beginning of “Tangled Up in Blue” a song tied to powerful memories from an important time of my youth. I know every word of every song on this album. Bob Dylan at his best
That was a great album. I didn’t realize that I had heard it before, and I need to hear it again. Often.
I recognize the one song from this album that got radio play back in the day, but never heard the rest of the album. Smooth and smoky. Very captivating even with some identifiably 80s feel to it. I’ll listen to this again
A true classic. There isn’t anything else to say, really.
I appreciated listening to this as the music of a specific time, but it was pretty boring. An album can be influential without being actually that good
