Karen Carpenter has a beautiful voice and while a lot of the songs weren’t written by the duo, she makes them her own. The title track is a highlight and the reprise at the end is so heartwarming like coming back home but the tone is so much more sad so it’s like a melancholic full circle.
I don’t get it. I read the synopsis of the movie and that made the songs make more sense but honestly I just didn’t really like the sound. I don’t see how this catapulted him into superstardom. Oh but he plays all the instruments himself who cares. Highlight is definitely the title track. I don’t hate it and I can totally imagine how this could be someone’s fav album but wow wow wow it is NOT for me.
I hate this. I hate it so much. I know it’s a unique sound and literally no one has ever sounded like this before or after but maybe that’s for a reason. Maybe if I got more of the samples I would’ve liked it more cuz there was a horror movie one and my ears perked up but I could not discern what song it was in cuz they all sound the same.
This is just not my genre. I don’t think there is a world where I can enjoy this album. I do understand their high-low-high sound and how people could like it. Of course the couple songs that I enjoyed are the most “poppy” according to wiki. I can see how it lent itself to the evolution of 90s grunge and I can respect it for that.
Saurrrrrr mid 2000s. Every song could be in a rom com soundtrack montage. A tumultuous group dynamic with Nicole singing most of the album but goddam there are some bops in here. Don’t cha is the clear standout but beep is one that deserves its recognition from the 🚬.
