Not a fan of the lead singer's voice, and the overall sound was just... mushy and indistinct. Absolutely nothing stood out to me.
A couple of bangers – My Doorbell, and Blue Orchid, but the rest of the album is just pretty weird. Jack's voice is fairly irritating on many of the other tracks, and there are various odd childlike motifs. Not a fan other than those two tracks.
Great album! Some amazing tunes on here – Bittersweet Symphony, Drugs Don't Work, Lucky Man... but the rest is great too. I liked One Day, but just the general feeling of the album.
First couple of tracks are decent, but then it sort of trails off. I've only listened to the whole thing once but I'd say the second half is very forgettable. Maybe it's okay as chill background music. I liked this review:
"Man we sure did like boring albums in the early 2010s".
Interesting album. Wouldn't be my usual sort of thing, but I found it was good to have on in the background while working and just groove away. I don't think I'd otherwise want to just sit and listen to it though – the jam nature of the band means some of the tracks get quite repetitive, and one or two are maybe overly long.
Not a big fan of the overall sound. Found the album quite forgettable and a chore to get through.
Really enjoyed this! I'd only heard some of Doolittle before, having first been exposed to the Pixies via Fight Club. Some tracks are better than others but in general I think it sustains the pace throughout the album. This is also the first time in this project that I've saved some tracks as favourites.
Nope.
Quite nice easy listening. Country-adjacent music wouldn't normally be my thing but this is pretty chill.
And there was me hoping for a good album today.
Some classic songs in here – Starman, Suffragette City. An enjoyable album.
I'd never listened to a Metallica album before, and I really loved this!
Seems like I'm in the minority, but I didn't love this. The beginning was okay, but for me it got pretty repetitive, and I'm not a big fan of the cuica (which at least I now learned the name of!) – which is used _a lot_!
I quite like Nick Drake's voice – perhaps because it reminds me of the Garden State soundtrack. But I've been listening to most albums from this project while working, and I think this album deserves a more focused listening experience. I think I'd rate this higher if I spent more time with it.
Not for me, sorry.
Woof. When I saw this album pop, I originally thought "Oh, the Beastie Boys! This'll be a good one!". It turns out that while I really enjoy the odd banger Beastie Boys song now and again, 23 tracks of it back-to-back is Too Much. Their vocal style gets incredibly repetitive very quickly.
Also, I guess I'm just very musically uncultured but while I see a lot of praise in these other reviews for the sampling on this album, some of the tracks just sound like a kid just got their first electronic keyboard and is trying out all the built in sound effects.
Just... average. I listened to the whole thing and a day later I remember nothing about it.
I went into this expecting an incredible album, and I think I properly liked maybe 3 songs. Running Up That Hill is of course a classic, which gains this an extra point from what I'd otherwise score it. I found the rest of the album pretty weird. Waking The Witch was just horrible.
Fine, but yet another that wasn't as great as I expected it to be, outside of the well-known hits.
Never heard of them before, but really liked this. Easy listening.
I didn't mind this at all. Nothing really stood out, but I also don't think it was bad. Good background music, honestly.
The album itself, I don't love. I listened to half yesterday, then today when it was time to start again I said to myself "I don't know if I can with this any more". But I searched to find more about Bonny Prince Billy, and found some other really beautiful songs by him. And then the second half of this I found more pleasing to listen to - it's like something unlocked for me. It's still not something I would put on often, but I'll for sure seek out some more of his music.
