A pretty mild attempt at recreating 70's soul. Bruno did this sound much better with Silk Sonic.
"Highway to Hell" is a really solid singer-songwriter album with some great lyricism. It can be a little inconsistent at times but the moments that hit show a lot of potential.
If there's anything I can give Wayne on this, it's that I think he genuinely tried his best. He wanted to make a rap rock combo and committed to that completely instead of giving up 3 songs in the way a lot of artists would. That doesn't make this album good, it is in fact very bad, but it does give it a bit more charm then something completely phoned in like "Tha Carter VI".
I'm not going to be the person to tell you that your wrong for not liking this album, I myself have very mixed feelings on it. However, I think regardless of opinion it should be stated that this is one of the most unique albums by a major artist ever, and maybe the only case of a major musician truly creating outsider art (I understand the paradoxical nature of that statement). This is an uncommercial and at times unmusical cry for help. There isn't any structure to many of these ... read more
A bit more lo-fi then I'd prefer from a Beach Boys album, but there's some absolutely incredible songs on here. Also amazing album cover.
This hasn't aged well in terms of style of humor, but there's a charm to the traditional pop production and the audience going insane to these tame ass jokes that makes me smile.
Joey Bada$$ take on conscious hip-hop is one that manages to be politically relevant while not feeling preachy. This is what J. Cole thinks he makes.
The Everly Brothers did some good stuff, feel like they're a little underrated when it comes to pre-Beatles rock and roll since you can hear a lot of what The Beatles and Beach Boys would perfect on here.
Was interested in checking this out since I love "Bad Moon Fever" but this does nothing for me. Outside of the admittedly great "American Girl", Petty's songwriting and singing isn't to the place it needs to be. It's not that bad or anything but it's not an incredibly essential Heartland Rock album in my eyes.
This is definetly the best J. Cole project I've heard, but it also frustrates me since it really suffers from a lack of restraint with its tracklist. You cut out like 8 or 9 songs and this is way better.
After not enjoying "Keep It Goin Xav" at all, I'm happy to say I get what xaviersobased is doing here a good deal more. I think he needs to work on his versatility since a lot of these tracks blend together, but it's a nice chill time overall.
"Gnarly" has a killer beat which helps me ignore the annoying vocals. The rest of the songs are pretty unnecessary but not unlistenable.
If "By The Time I Get To Phoenix" was grief at its most recent point, "My Ghosts Go Ghost" is the aftermath of the following years in which you realize that the trauma of loss doesn't dissappear it just gets put aside. I think I prefer this album to its predecessor for that reason, it's such a heartbreaking look inside of Ritchie and Parker's state of mind.
Randomized Miles Davis Discography Listen: Album #23
After the slog of his 80's work, "Doo-Bop" serves as a pretty sad end to Miles career. I don't mean that to say it's bad, I actually think this is a big step up from his work in the 80's, but because it shows potential Miles would never be able to capitalize on. The combination of hip-hop and jazz on this album is really interesting for 1992, and even though Easy Mo Bee is a little annoying as an MC (his bars ... read more
I liked this more then I thought I would. The beat choices on here are much more interesting then on ASTROWORLD and Travis isn't quite as boring of a rapper, though he still isn't great.
