Feeling unease while listening to it. Idk why, pretty mid but it's listenable. The only songs that stood out to me was the intro track, Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, and Saturday Night's Alright
I listened through this while playing Far Cry 5. It was a good backdrop while slaughtering Peggies and cruising around Hope County, Montana.
Vibes:10/10
Actual music:6.5/10
Overall:3.5/5, would have sex to it.
I've known Alice in Chains for a while now, I even listened to some of their songs before, but I never listened through a full album by them until now.
And oh my stars it was so worth it! What an experience, what an experience.
I listened to half of the album outside, the other half inside... This didn't really have any impact on how I perceived the heavily distorted heavy guitars and deep lyrics, but it was an interesting contrast.
Anyway, even if some songs didn't have as much momentum as the rest, it's a really great alt metal album, and I'm sure I will listen to it more later on.
5/5
The first time I heard Prodigy was... well, as far as I can remember, it was included in a trailer for CoD Black Ops 6, and then in Watch Dogs: Legion. After that, I met someone who's a big fan of their work. So going into this album, I can say I'm aware of their work as an electronic music group.
So after finally listening through the entire album... eh, I guess it was okay, didn't expect much diving into it. I already listened to the singles before, so those weren't new; the rest of the album was solid, so I give this a... 3.5/5
Ngl might come back for Climbatize a few times... that was an interesting instrumental experience...
For me, first it was the 'To be continued...' song, then it was the song from Los Santos Rock Radio, and now it's Roundabout by Yes.
Ah, Yes, the band. Anyway, this was a terrible listen-through, except for the songs that are over 7 minutes long.
She died yesterday, and the next album generated is one of hers. R.I.P. Dolly Parton. We lost another legend with you. ✊💔
Okay, turns out this was probably on purpose; well, I'm not surprised, tho it still can break someone's heart.
Anyway, after listening through this album while riding a virtual steam locomotive between Warwick and Wallangarra in Australia, I must say I really wanted to like it. I did like most of it, but unfortunately the best I can give is a 3.5/5
Woah, what's this album cover? Very Americana with the highway sign, not to mention the red eyed black owl. Cool stuff. Might just move it in my favorite album covers list!
Act One: 4/5
Act Two: 4/5
Overall: 4/5, solid southern rock, very solid.
Little backstory: I wanted to listen to this album while on a plane in the air. So that got postponed by over 4 hours due to a delay in my flight... Worst airport experience ever.
Anyway so I finally got on the plane and put this on. Wow listening to this while flying might have been my best idea ever. Especially at night. Looking down at cities' lights while the band is playing is one helluva experience, (then seeing distant lightning storms, crazy.)
So overall... Pretty good! Pretty damn good!
I'm not the biggest jazz listener but I gladly give this a solid 4/5.
"Your general subject, love, is minimal
It's sex for profit"
10/10 Absolute Music... Still 4/5
Oh yes! I listened to enough Massive Attack to be ready for this one, to finally listen to the entire album, not just Glory Box.
And holy shit isn't this one of the most soothing albums I ever listened to! Damn I could fall asleep to this in an instant, in a good way!
Bruce! Where have you been all my life? ٩(♡ε♡ )۶
Did I really have to listen to this before I die?
I mean sure, Mrs. Robinson is a great song, and it has a few really good tracks.
Sure it's a fun album, but pretty much that's it.
Now, I heard one day, that "if you don't cry to *Lover, You Should've Come Over*, you don't have a soul".
Did I cry to *Lover, You Should've Come Over*?
No, I did not.
Did I cry at any part of the album?
No, I did not.
Did I enjoy listening through the entire album? Not all of it, because I was on a flight and I was fighting with some of the strongest cramps I ever felt in my life. (I'm alright now)
Do I think I still have a soul tho?
I sincerely hope I do. っ ̯ -｡
Do I think that this album is very emotional, very well done, and it deserves the recognition it gets?
Yes, I do. Absolutely do.
Even if my first listen through was quite chaotic, I believe when I listen to this album for a second time, when I'm both mentally and physically in a calmer state, I will be able to enjoy it and maybe feel more emotional through it.
Until then, this was an interesting experience.
Crappy pop rock
I can barely understand the lyrics without reading them along, BUT I LOVE IT!
I like some of Marilyn Manson. This album tho... eh... could be better.
I certainly wanna be a dog
"Cinnamon Girl" was great opener and a good track, but it gave me a false promise about the rest of the album.
Funky... ehhh
I love punk rock, and I hope punk rock loves me back.
This is so generic that it cannot be bad.
I love it!
I guess? I really have no words besides, boring.
Anyway, another first time, when it comes to listening through entire albums for the firs time... yay.
Set the mood by driving a locomotive down a fictional virtual Russian railway... worked a bit.
Now to the album itself, pretty mixed, some songs were great, others were boring... yeah.
Besides Lost and What To Do, this album was terrible.
