Great vibes. Amazing that Stevie played almost all the instruments on this album. Perfect length (9 songs, 44 minutes). Higher Ground and Don't You Worry 'Bout a Thing are obviously the most popular songs from this album. However, I think my favorite song was Living For the City.
I grew up listening to CCR's Greatest Hits. I've always loved John Fogerty's voice and straightforward rock and roll arrangements. This is a short album! 9 songs under 30 minutes. They paved the way for The Strokes' Is This It album! Almost every song is great but I'd say Lodi is my favorite one from this album. I'd give this album a 3.5 stars.
I love Led Zeppelin and LOVE this album cover. However, I struggled to really get into this album. Clearly the musicianship is there. However, it's such a long album and really more of a jam session for these guys. Too much brilliance crammed into one album. 15 songs at 1 hour 22 minutes is a lot to take in. There are strong points though. Houses of the Holy, Trampled Under Foot and Kashmir is a brilliant three song run in the album. The Wanton Song is fun but Black Country Woman might be the secret gem of this album. I give this album 3.5 stars.
There’s a reason why this album is the voice of a generation. The sound was unbelievable in 1991 and it still is today. There are probably 7-8 VERY strong songs on here (radio friendly). The writing of Kurt has aged like fine wine. I do feel that Nirvana gets the Jimi Hendrix treatment but regardless of that, this album still hits on all cylinders. My only gripe is that it’s 2 songs too long. I give it a 4.5 star rating.
Definitely not my vibe but I know it was part of the 90's Britpop sensation. Alright is a banger for sure.
Absolutely LOVED this album. Brilliant.
Not my cup of tea.
Great musician, not my vibe.
Props to Elvis for what he did and what his music is. It was never my thing though.
Amazing musicianship with some very powerful songs. Stevie is in his bag on this one. My only gripe is the length of the album and in particular certain songs. For instance, "Isn't She Lovely" might be one of the better songs dedicated to the pure joy a child brings. But after the 3 minute mark it just carries on for another 3.5 minutes. There are several songs like this that just carry on. Overall, it's a powerful album with excellent vibes. A solid 4.
This was the first time I had ever listened to Iggy Pop. This album has a really cool, unique and dark sound. The album length is great and I had no idea that he wrote China Girl. An enjoyable listen.
I really enjoyed this album. Great beats and sounds. I wasn't the biggest fan of all the recorded conversations from NYC citizens. I found it distracting. I think it meets the concept of the album really well but it wasn't my cup of tea. I'd give this album a solid 3.5 stars.
Great electronic album with a moody vibe. Really enjoyed it. 3.5 stars
It was a fine alternative album. I give it 2.5 stars.
This is a very unique album. I think Amy gets the "Jimi Hendrix" or "Kurt Cobain" treatment at times. She clearly had an ear for arranging very beautiful music. I'm not the biggest fan of her lyrics but overall I enjoyed listening. It's not boring by any means. I give it a 3.5.
It was fine to have on in the background. A little bit more of a dark electronic album. Breathe was a HUGE song when I was a teen. I remember this album and the rage behind it. Enjoyable listen.
The first five songs of this album are incredibly powerful and moving. I Hung My Head is a top 25 song favorite song of all time for me (how did Sting write something that good?). Johnny was absolutely COOKING while making this album. My only knock on it is that it's probably 2 songs too long.
Solid album. You can bang this album out. Perfect length and good old rock and roll with a touch of blues.
Strong album for Rush. Perfect tracking and album length. 7 songs at 40 minutes, with one of the songs just being a jam song (YYZ). The drumming is immaculate and if you can endure Getty's voice then this is a band you will love. For me, I can only take so much. Enjoyed the listen. 3.5 stars.
It was a fine electronic album.
This album sucks. Lame lyrics, boring melodies.
In a day and age when I've been exposed to too much Taylor Swift, I have to say that I enjoyed this album. Taylor finds a recipe with this album (and most of her albums) and sticks with it. It's 2-3 tracks too long but overall a fine listen. I love the guest artists she brought in and I probably would have loved this album more if my daughters hadn't overhyped TS for the last five years. I give it 3.5 stars.
This is a 4.5 star album. Jeff's voice is beautiful and the songs Grace, Hallelujah and Corpus Christi Carol set a unique tone to this album. My only issue is that it's a song too long.
Didn't hate it as much as I thought I would. Great voice and didn't have an overly "country music" vibe. Some lyrics are silly but overall good listen.
There's a reason why this album is timeless. Lindsay Buckingham is one of the best guitarist on the planet. The writing and production is fantastic and Song Bird, GTFOH. So good.
