Awful! Why did my mom every like him?

Racism aside, Elvis made some good songs. None of them are on this album.

Elvis came back with a soulless effort.

He might’ve been back, not sure from where though😂 nice little “pop” album- but nothing special here ( for me that is).

# 217/1001. Let's play the Elvis is back -game. The rules are: one person says a line starting with Elvis is dead...filling the sentence with some Elvish. And the other person answers with a line that beats or rhymes or in other way complements, contradicts or completes the first sentence. Here is an imaginary gameplay: Elvis is back from the army From the war From teenage girls' bed From the dead From Sun From the moon From the 50s From Vegas From an OD trip From a trip with a VD With a fever With a fiver For the disappointment of moms and dads For the disappointment of 50 million fans Softer than ever Harder than Jello From Germany As a nazi In white leather In a gold sweater More boring than ever Singing even fever The king is dead Long live the king

Unlistenable cack

He shouldn't have bothered. This is just a huge pile of steaming keech! I've heard others doing many of these songs. In every case these were FAR better than Elvis. His vocals are awful, particularly on Fever. An insult to the entire American people.

1/10 Send him back. Fucking Elvis. The vinyl they used to press this record could have been the siding on a slaughterhouse. boring. Fever is a great song and he just drones it like his quaaludes just kicked in. sounds like he has an actual fever and is sipping soup while singing. What the fuck, why this guy? 10-16-2025

yeah i dont see why americans are obsessed with him

2/10 - boring honky tonk music, every song the same as the others, honestly never understood the hype or obsession with Elvis

Elvis Schmelvis! Boring!

I get why black people are mad at Elvis

I asked an AI thingy how many rock/pop albums had been released since 1958. Its conservative estimate was 3-5 million, its more inclusive estimate was 8-12 million. So quite what this dross is doing on a list of 1001 ‘must-hear’ records is beyond me.

The King becomes a Queen! Somehow the king of rockabilly morphs into a crooning easy listener. Tragic.

Elvis sucks. That is all. That’s the review.

Appreciate the voice, appreciate the talent. Just not my thing.

1960 OMG 😨 Elvis is back… in 1960?! This album is too old to be considered. Unlistenable.

Honestly, awful boring not what I expected out of an Elvis Presley album at least there could’ve been one good song. There wasn’t even one good song.

Never been an Elvis fan. I've listened to his music and just can't get into it.

I couldn’t wait for this album to be over. The entire piece just feels like a challenge to record the same song as many times as possible. As soon as one song about being hopped up about a girl ends, it’s immediately restarts. The one relatively unique song, ‘fever’, is a cover and therefore can’t earn an additional star. The cultural impact of Elvis is undeniable, but from a pure listening experience, I’ve had few worse.

Didnt like it

Saai

Ik vond dit niks

Fuck Elvis

Complete crap

No

Mannnn I ain’t listening to this! “But it’s influential!!” Yeah so was the Reagan administration. Boring ass old man who stole music from black people for YEARS. Death on the shitter is 1000x more dignity than this guy deserves. 0/10 without even listening to it 😂

That's ancient stuff, I can't and won't listen to it! It's all nicely crafted sounds for yesterday's listeners.

More stuff i've heard on the radio over the years. Tired and overplayed, but some good hits like orange crush. Not a huge fan.

Not for me

No, Elvis is not back

Well, it was a much simpler time I guess. I think I may have been a backing singer for Elvis in a former life. At least the tracks are very short. My brother loved Elvis, but preferred Shakin’ Stevens, which explains a lot.

I had such hopes at Fever (4), but then the rest was just Elvis. I bet he didn't smash 70 Hot Wings with his comeback after the army.

mierda

When he had decent material, Elvis could sing the hell out of a song. Far too often he had this kind of horrible saccharine drivel to deal with. Absolutely brutally bad production with soggy orchestration and no life whatsoever.

I don't have a coherent review, I just don't really get it

Elvis was completely over-rated.

dunno why this guy was so popular

No more elvis...

Hef aldrei verið fan og þessi plata breytir engu um það. Ekki minn tebolli. Plús krípfaktor.

Elvis may have been cool then, but who cares now? Seriously. What impact does Elvis have 60 years later? Not much. Like seriously, Elvis has some iconic hits. But there are exactly zero on this album, so what’s the point? Why the hell is this album on this list? It’s utterly unimportant.

Genuinely painful to sit through.

DNF

Meh

Why does the streaming version of this album sound like it's being played underwater? Look, I understand Elvis was foundational in popularizing stealing music and theatrics from black musicians and sanitizing them for white audiences, but this just feels so fucking soulless to me.

I wasn't really familiar with any of tbe songs. He still can't really sing. It is probably better than a one but I will round down.

Still not a fan

My mother loved Elvis. You could go so far as to say that for a time she was obsessed with him. Evidence being a life-sized cardboard cutout of Elvis standing in our kitchen among many other representations of him in memorabilia, e.g. Elvis clock, wallpaper, plates, etc. As you might imagine, I've heard a few Elvis songs and seen some Elvis movies in my time. This record has some okay songs, but nothing that really stands out as an amazing Elvis track. Too be honest, for me the best thing about this record is the typography on the cover and even that isn't the best of its era.

Blegh. Boring.

Make me know it - a bland and forgettable opening track. Fever is an excellent track that suits his voice, it shines over the minimal backing - clearly the inspiration for the Cramps cover, but still not as good as the Peggy Lee version 2 years earlier. The girl of my best friend reminds me why I hate a lot of late 50s and early 60s music, slow bland and a real snooze fest. I will be home again can be added to that list too. Dirty Dirty feeling is an anthem for stalking, followed by kidnapping and possibly worse... Thrill of your love. Tedious love song. Soldier Boy - Another slow ballad. Nothing going for it. Such a night - a celebration of a one night stand, a little more upbeat, but still very bland. Couldn't be bothered to listen to the last few tracks beyond the intro. Why is this album on the 1001 list? There must be better Elvis albums out there, and if they are already on the list, then this one doesn't deserve its place.

Elvis? More like Pelvis, because this album is ass. Sorry bozo, don't like the music plus banana sandwiches aren't even that good.

a hundred times better than the later memphis record we got a couple weeks ago, but minus two stars for "fever", and two stars for priscilla. the performance of "fever" was actually a pretty good cover of peggy lee's arrangement. here's an additional verse i added, mimicking the style, historicity, and politics of peggy lee's additions to the original song by eddie cooley, otis blackwell, and willie john: emmett till and carolyn bryant had a very mad affair when his cousin tried to kill her he said, "curtis, oh don't you dare" she gives me fever with her kisses fever when she holds me tight fever i'm her mister and cousin, won't you treat him right

PE said it best... Elvis was a hero to most, but he Never meant shit to me, you see, straight out Racist—that sucker was simple and plain Motherfuck him and John Wayne! But I listened to this from start to finish and this seems like the soundtrack for Making America Great Again.

I don’t know what to do with you, Elvis. I do enjoy your rockabilly stuff, ‘Make Me Know It,’ ‘Dirty, Dirty Feeling,’ ‘Girl Next Door Went A-Walking,’ as well as the blues numbers, ‘Like a Baby,’ ‘It Feels So Right,’ ‘Reconsider Baby.’ But the other half of this LP, all those sappy songs about romantic love found and lost… I don’t want 'that' Elvis back. That Elvis should re-enlist. Ahhh, this isn’t an album for me anyway, or most of you, maybe none of you. This is an LP for all the teenage girls in the late 1950’s who pined for Elvis while he served his time in the military. And I’m sure they wet their panties when they saw this cover- all sexy-eyed and coifed hair. Doggone dreamy, this Elvis is. The Jordanaires are here again, doing their doo wop best. Backing band, The Blue Moon Boys, are also back, rockin’ and playing the blues. Not that we hear much from them. Guitarist Scotty Moore is seldom allowed to tear it up. The reigns are loosened up a bit for pianist Floyd Cramer and saxophonist Boots Randolph on the last two numbers. But this is really all about Elvis. And his voice is in fine form, maybe it’s best, at times growling and barking, while other moments just as smooth and soft as a milkshake. If you like Elvis, you’ll enjoy this LP. And, if you’re not a fan (and I'm not), then there’s nothing here that’s going to change your mind. It is what it is: Elvis Presley. And he’s back. But baby, he never really left your aching heart in the first place, did he?

do not like.

Det här gjorde tyvärr inget för mig. Fever är ju bra liksom men inte tillräckligt.

Did not vibe. Reminds me too much of Christmas and copying black musicians

fucking hate elvis

Reminds me of mom…

it's probably good thanks to the black artists he stole from fuck elvis for grooming a 14 year old kid i refuse to listen to him idgaf

Elvis is very much overrated

Only listened to Fever.

Classic but kinda creepy

Nope, not for me

Turns out I *still* don't like Elvis. "Fever" is OK, but Elvis is no Peggy Lee. :-)
