I’m a Neil Young fan, but this is not his finest work in my opinion. A couple good songs, but some not so good ones. Quite depressing actually. Some of this music is very “The Band” like. Neil Young is a guy with a very unique voice, and quite talented…. But I’d like to take all his good songs and put them in one place, because there are a few really bad ones as well.
Like all things Bowie… a bit weird. Always feels like music you are supposed to like, but are always trying to figure out. Some good songs , but a bit more techno than I like.
Tough listen for a 70’s rock guy. Tried to be open minded, but really didn’t care for it. A couple songs ok, but just not my genre.
Not my cup of tea, but I respect the work. I liked it better than I thought I would.
Have to give this a 5 as the best Beatles album. Lots of good songs…. Improved production value. I rate the Beatles as one of my top 5 bands, so I have to give what is arguably their best album a 5. There are songs on other albums I like more, but the whole work here is their best.
Spa music. Not unpleasant… but has no role on this list. Giving it one star not because I don’t like it, but there is nothing unique about it. Background music to a massage in my opinion.
Was hoping for great things here with 3 outstanding singers. However, felt like Dolly wanted to relive her old Porter Waggoner days with this very old style country. Just feel like if they would have pushed it a little, this could have been great. For me , just ok.
I like some Elvis. He’s an important artist and you have to remember this is over 65 years ago. This is not his best album or his worst. Giving it 4 stars because I appreciate the music and his place in the history of rock and roll. Plus - he’s just got a great voice!
I made through an hour of my first rap album. Wasn’t quite as horrible as I thought, but I’m definitely not the right demographic for this genre. A couple good songs and some not so good. I’m giving it 3 stars as kind of a middle ground between what I really think vs what it probably deserves.
True confession - around 1984 I attended 3 Yes concerts and am a huge fan. Honestly- these guys are incredible musicians and Jon Anderson has one of the most distinctive voices in rock. That said, this is not necessarily their best overall album although it has a couple absolute classics.
Enjoyable listen. Hard for me to say “it’s great”. I liked the mono version of some of the songs. And Jeff Beck is sort of legendary. I would give it 3.5 stars.
Enjoyed most of the tracks. Actually listened to it twice. This isn’t in my normal listening library but maybe it should be.
Very disappointing. One good song - most of the rest of it I’d categorize as just weird. I always have the feeling I’m missing something- like Bowie would be the smartest guy in the room. Don’t get this album - giving it two stars instead of one because it’s Bowie.
Not a fan of this genre and don’t really see how you can be. Kind of terrible. One redeeming quality was it didnt last long. Moving on….
Ok - a lot of sameness. I like the concept and it was ok to listen to, but kept wanting a bit more.
I liked it. Thought the production was great and many of the tracks quite clever with some throwbacks. Never going to choose rap as a go to - but if I did - this would be one I’d listen to.
Ahh - just no. Felt like what it was - a bunch of love songs written in a hurry. Vocals always felt like he was searching for a note he couldn’t find. Made it through much of it, but just not a good effort.
Didn’t really know there was an official “electronics” genre. Hard to understand how somebody thinks this is great. Manufactured music that seems like it belongs on a movie soundtrack or game. Giving it a kind 2 rating.
The Who are in my Top 5 and this and Who’s Next are probably their best 2 albums. This is kind of a masterpiece when you consider the whole idea of it. Not just a bunch of singles but a true concept album. Anyway - good to hear it again all the way through.
Feel like you need to listen to this music while watching the dance routine video. I like a few of the songs although I would not categorize anything here as break through. Most of the Jacksons are very talented - Janet is no exception.
When growing up east of Cleveland - radio was limited to primarily AM. We got a heavy dose of CKLW Detroit motor city from across the lake - especially at night. Motown was big on the playlist so Al Green and others were very familiar to me. Some great old music here. Nice to listen to!
Worst so far. I want to meet the person who enjoys this. I had to listen to 60 minutes of Yacht Rock to undo the damage.
Wasn’t sure what to expect here, but was pleasantly surprised. I enjoyed most of it. He’s a believer in long songs apparently. Anyway - I ended up listening to it twice and except for the entirely too long sax solo in one of the songs- it was a very good album.
Also - you know you are going to get different when you are listening to an artist that named his kids Moon Unit and Dweezil. 😀
Not my cup of tea. Nothing against folk rock, but didn’t really enjoy this.
I like Kate Bush. She’s different, but a great voice and an innovator. Kind of like a female Bowie. I liked many of the songs - some not so much. Hope we get to hear more of her music.
Loved every minute of this 1964 classic. Sure - it doesn’t necessarily push the envelope, but the songs are catchy and fun. Long time ago folks, and at the time - there was nothing like this. I’m almost talking myself into a 5, but will leave it a very solid 4. Not sure how you don’t like this albums!
