90% of the songs are peak. This is all you really need from Journey.
You get a lot of Elvis here but the song choices are just pretty good. Still, all the songs are good.
Everything in this album is iconic. Love the music, love the movies. How couldn’t be good?
It was okay. Nothing much to really say besides it was just your average “new” country record.
Listened to this because it looked like it could be cool. It’s not. It’s so bad. Way to ruin some Beatles songs.
It’s their only diamond record at the moment so that’s cool. Choices are alright.
Dare I say better than “Discovery”? Honestly, this is probably Daft Punk’s masterpiece. The production was electric and perfect. I loved the inclusion of other artists for song verses. This one is just one of the greats I’ve heard. Awesome!!!
“Wouldn’t It Be Nice” was easily the best song. This album felt so childish yet, cinematic but that’s just the ability that The Beach Boys can deliver. I definitely like it and know how influential it is, but just like “The Chronic” and “Let It Bleed”, it’s just not as amazing as some critics make it out to be. But hey, that’s just my take.
I don’t care that he “ruined” the original version. This is just a banger.
Well, I put this on to do homework and as the name implies it’s not “homework” music. Daft Punk is really aggressive here and it works most of the time. I think it is well done but not absolutely amazing like their work usually is. Some of the songs make me bounce while some make me uninterested. Overall, I’d say it’s decent and really starts the formula for the future. We really needed a rap verse or something on at least one song though.
Such a great album, every song really gets through to you. I don’t know how he just released this masterpiece on his first shot at an album. This is a beauty and a must listen through and through. It just memorized me every listen. I even bought it today on a nice clean brand new record.
I listened to this the day it came out. It’s cool I guess.
“808s and Heartbreaks” is a musical journey, similar to “Yeezus” - but better, you have to have both AirPods in for this one. Kanye really does deliver here and it really just seemed like at this point in his career he couldn’t do anything wrong. This is a great album and you should really stick through the whole album even past the needlessly long opening track.
I don’t really listen to theater or musicals but this one is pretty good.
“The Ghost Of Tom Joad” feels like an attempt to repeat “Nebraska”. The lyrics are there but the haunting edge just isn’t. The whole album just sounds like your average Bob Dylan song. The stories are amazing but I just don’t feel that they stick as much as they did in “Nebraska”. Of course, all his non-E-Street band work is weaker than the stuff with the band but I think this one was pretty solid it just wasn’t as effective as he wanted it ... read more
This one had some great tunes! It’s a pretty solid Bruce Springsteen album but just feels to commercialized and not as important. It’s pretty fun.
“The Rising” is a beautiful and emotional album. Writing this for 911, you can really tell Bruce put as much effort as he possibly could into this. It can be super emotional while upbeat and the messages in the song are perfect for what America was going through at the time. It’s very sad that this album is overlooked because it’s very very good and I definitely recommend it. There’s so many just great songs such as, “Waiting On A Sunny Day” Or ... read more
So this is actually a comeback album and I don’t know any of his previous stuff but the first song in the album popped up in my queue because The Boss and other members of the E-Street band are on this. Bruce Springsteen agreed to help with this because he loved Gary as a kid so Bruce wrote some of the songs and produced them. This was a fun album with some good and some bad but overall a good listen and a relatively unknown album.
This has got to be Bruce’s worst album in his career at this point. The music and storytelling is super bland and feels half-assed. Genuinely he has better shelved albums than this. It had the potential to be good but wasn’t. “Lucky Town” - this albums brother was just as bland but a lot more enjoyable than this one. Honestly this album was half good and half bad.
