Dylan goes back to acoustics to apeace some fans he had lost like myself by that point in his discography, and comes out on top. Memorable, long-winded tracks from the crazy mind of the original folk progressivist.
Not quite perfect. I really dislike the beat of Buggin' Out which seems to be one of the most beloved tracks but I hate it. Other than that some of the songs are incredible including the opener, Butter, Verses from the Abstract and Vibes and Stuff, which are mellow and sweet and all come from different angles. Scenario is a great collaboration but doesn't feel like a closer. The record is overarching but inconsistent.
It's too much. There's some decent grooves like in Go DJ and the closing track, but that's it. It's a very mild and inoffensive record.
Mainly appealing because of the title track, but still underrated as none do the job of scrapping through Bowie's less unsung compositions hiding in these albums.
Just a young band of three wrecking your ears with plain old blues rock. You get classics like Strange Brew and Sunshine of Your Love to begin and then great gems like Tales of Brave Ulysses or Outside Woman Blues.
Overlong but extremely varied and you can pick from the tracklist a bunch of songs you like or dislike. My personal favorites would be Rudie Can't Fail, Guns of Brixton, Wrong 'Em Boyo, Lover's Rock, and Train in Vain. The track I dislike would be Jimmy Jazz.
Talk about an overachiever. Multiple song ideas in a 16-song 50-minute tracklist, just awesome flare and rapping. Wusyaname, Lumberjack, Massa, RunItUp, I Thought You Wanted to Dance, Wilshire will stay in the Tyler cannon as some of his most outlandish and inventive output.
A couple of tunes I really liked but Prince 1984-1985 has a style of production that bothers me somewhat because his songs sound so spacious and de-compressed to the point were his creativity is difficult to comprehend or see when you listen to a full LP.
A forward-thinking album of soul about unity and hope. Funny to think that when the single track was a hit the studio ordered more of the same and bro came up with 'What's Happening Brother', I mean, come on. But the rest of the record is mostly incredible: God Is Love, Mercy Mercy Me, Inner City Blues, Flyin' High (In the Friendly Sky), the tracks are great.
Whenever I hear the PS1 startup sound I cream my pants. The rest of the record is an avalanche of pop hits.
Innovative and different from everything else like Max Roach himself during the 60s. I think the music is only fine but I respect the project and the effort put into the recording.
There's something about 1970s Rolling Stones that feels more free and innovative now that they didn't live under the shadow of the Beatles. Great songs on this one like Angie and 100 Years Ago.
Hard to disagree with the score. It's mid, with the occasional highlight. Definitely sounds like the worst from the best band in the world.
Hilarious and groundbreaking at the time of its release. The songs are soaked in themes and terminology that make the convicts emotional and amazed by the spectacle. Whichever version you get, the setlist is sharp, diverse, and focused, divided by bits of interplay with and acknowledgement of the audience.
Very bumpy and atmospheric but I don't get why music fans are losing their heads over this one. Daughters has never been a consistent band and they show once again with an insistent banging in each of this songs as its main climax, as you can also get tracks like Less Sex which are more melodic in turn to promote the record. Not for me I guess.
Even worst than Freak Out! It tries to hide its lack of originality under the "irony" concept of copying The Beatles. As many records from Zappa and the Mothers, it was somewhat ahead of its time but once put on the CD player the thing is unlistenable.
Soooooo long. But even in between a so-so 30-minute opus and a 15 minute meditation you get nice innovative tracks like Honky Tonk or Red China Blues, showing you that Miles was always up to something. It feels like a compilation of Vivaldi classical pieces. Wasn't it a compilation? It rings true because the "pacing" is non-existent.
Everything is beautiful about this album. It stands as evidence that Brian Wilson is a genius and he was not receiving help from his bandmates so he went 'fine, I'll do it myself'. He didn't copy the Beatles, he truly went ahead and discovered himself artistically to deliver us these classics. Listen to Let's Get Away for Awhile for Christ's sake. Just wonderful music front to back.
I'm a huge Godzilla fan and this album mirrors the movie 'Monster Zero'. That and the samples and vibes of the songs make it a uniquely whole project in my eyes. Whole lotta amazing tracks Fazers, Fastlane, Next Levels, No Snakes Alive, I Wonder, The Fine Print...
