This Is Fats Domino

This is fine. It's predictable for what you would expect, and the songs are all good. Enjoyed but unlikely to listen to this much.

Fun to hear and hard not to like, but sorta basic and casual-seeming.

Man, I lost my review on this one. I don't want to rewrite it. This was decent 50s teeny bopper music.

Decent.

This one was like a rugged set of tits on a dolly bird past her sell by date. She got them out for the first sun of the summer and they're a bit burnt and sore. She will go home, pour a large glass of cheap white wine and rub lotion on them. Her landlord looks in through a crack in the door and masturbates peacefully. She knows he's there and puts on a bit of a show. "Still got it", she sighs to herself as she climbs into her off-white bath that's seen better days. She submerges herself and unleashes an enormous fart from her ageing vagina. The mirror shakes. The landlord cums.

"Crab mentality" also known as crab theory, crabs in a bucket, is a way of thinking best described by the phrase "if I can't have it, neither can you".

Did not listen, but will go back and find a complete version of this album. I am very familiar with Fats' Blueberry Hill as it always reminds me of Happy Days.

Taken as individual tracks this is brilliant, but they're not an album. It's just a collection.

highest common domininator

The Rooster Song - 7/10 My Happiness - 9/10 As Time Goes By - 4/10 Hey La Bas Boogie - 8/10 Love Me - 7/10 Don't You Hear Me Calling You - 8/10 It's You I Love - 10/10 Valley of Tears - 9/10 Where Did You Stay - 7/10 Baby Please - 8/10 Thinking of You - 6/10 You Know I Miss You - 6/10

Fats has a great voice and his creations provided enough material for groups to mine well into the next decade or more. The songs are not corny like Elvis and more danceable than Buddy Holly. All in all there isn't enough to grab the attention of modern listeners but it's still a cool nostalgia trip.

3.5 /5. Really surprised at how good this is. When I first seen it I thought, "old music!" but it's pretty great. A few classics and the other songs are solid.

Mellow Boogie Man (5/10) FT: Blueberry Hill

I enjoyed this album a lot and it was a nice change of pace from the others on the list I've gotten so far. Blueberry Hill is the only song that I previously knew of and it is a great song. The recording isn't perfect but that can be forgiven with how long ago it was performed. Excited to hear more of his discography.

Extremely jazzy. Shame the whole album wasn't on Spotify.

Echte ouwe muziek. Ik houdt er wel van, maar zo'n heel album is ook wel weer wat teveel. Ik vind ook niet alle liedjes leuk. ***

Pretty fun! Not outstanding, but still fun. Favorites: "Blueberry Hill", "What's the Reason", "Troubles of My Own"

It’s alright.

Cultura general

I love his voice. This isn't really my style preference, but there's no doubt the influence that he had on blues-style rockers that came after him.

7/10 Best Song - Blueberry Hill

nice blues rock a shame im missing half the album on spotify

Enjoyable - hell yeah. Will I go back to it again, probably not. Then again start any album with Blueberry Hill and you've got a strong start. So much better than some of the crap we get nowadays, but I guess the crap from yesteryear doesn't make it to this list.

Certainly a classic. Blueberry Hill, great track. Troubles Of My Own also enjoyable.

Parp! Toot!

Jammer

Day 11: Very good album, Never heard of Fats Domino or any of these songs before, Was pleasantly surprised. Cant really peg any of the songs are being weak points and while some were hard to find on Spotify I used YouTube for many of them. A lot of the songs we're really good but I did feel like the album's later half did fall short compared to the first half. Overall I wouldn't have an issue re-listening to this album and many of the songs, I would also have no issues if I got more albums like this in the future. Favourite Songs: Honey Chile, Blueberry Hill, What's the Reason I'm Not Pleasing You

I liked this album. I like the rolling bluesy piano. I liked the fact that I did not hear Blueberry Hill which is a song that never really worked for me. I liked that most songs it was just Fats' voice no cheesy backup vocals. So I liked this better than most 50s albums. 3.5 🌟

Old fashioned, but pretty funky.

Blueberry Hill teleported me immediately to my late grandparents' kitchen. While obviously much more a song of their youth, it reminds me of visiting them in the nineties - their dark red stone kitchen with the bird chirping in the corner.

For me, any of the compilation discs of greatest hits is the way to go with Fats

Like this kind of music

Just not really my thing, obviously sounds dated to my ear. Some undeniably catchy tunes. Best song: Blueberry Hill

Historic album and great style. I can’t hrp thinking you needed to hear thus man live to fully appreciate him!

Boomer jazz, kinda fun but not the best early jazz we've had on the list. A little too much 12 bar blues for me

Enjoyable. Nothing I would choose to listen to. 3/5

nothing special

Ce gars-là combat la grossophobie avec un panache hors du commun.

Excellent album de la part de cet enorme balourd, qui m'a même fait songer a lui accorder la note de 4/5. Malheureusement, les bruits de miettes intempestifs présents ici et là tout au long de l'écoute m'ont dérangé, et je parlerai même pas de l'énorme gargouillement ventral de fin d'album.

Sunday Monday Happy Days

Nice New Orleans Blue style album, but unfortunately the old school production and Domino's lyrics doesn't do much for my attention span and my taste

Blueberry Hill is a banger

Big fan of the oldie classics-esp. Fats D

Another one not on Apple Music, had to frankenstein this together from some compilation albums but we got it. Fats is a pioneer in the early honky-tonk rock and roll style, and he belongs in the same discussion as guys like Little Richard and Chuck Berry. He made the piano cool, and he's got a great voice and presence on every track. The music is definitely dated, and I felt it sounded very same-y throughout but definitely foundational stuff that belongs on this list. And "Blueberry Hill" is an all-timer. Favorite tracks: Blueberry Hill, Blue Monday, Troubles of My Own, The Fat Man. Album art: I know it's not what's shown on this site. Looking elsewhere I see an old-school style cover that's mostly pink with a huge Fats head and tiny body playing piano. I really dig that one. 3.5/5

3/5 good but not enough

Wasn’t able to listen to all songs on Spotify. What I heard was good. Recognized the song Blueberry Hill.

It rocks, it rolls. It has rhythm, it has blues. Straightforward music that is still fun to listen to today. Now I wish I was on my way to a sock hop.

Chill

Boogie Woogie!

Not bad actually, one of the better ones

Pleasant.

A classic rock and roll/boogie woogie album, with mostly danceable fast tempo tracks. "Honey Chile" and "Blue Monday" are great song and the rendition of "What's the Reason (I'm Not Pleasing You)" is fun. Fats had a great voice for his style.

Great lead off to the week....

Second biggest selling rock n roll act after Elvis. You can imagine John Candy serving giant pancakes with this album playing in the background. McCartney was listening - that's a good enough stamp of approval for me. Best Tracks: Blueberry Hill; Honey Chile; Blue Monday

old swingy-type music pretty fun 3.5

I loved this but my day/brain was too busy to really listen probably it's not fair to say it didn't grab me because not many albums would have my workday was so insane. I did love and appreciate the vibes and like this style of music so I'll go with 3. If I wasn't a few hundred albums behind I would listen again but alas...

This was enjoyable but didn't leave a particular mark on me I have to say.

Pretty fun stuff!

The short length of each tracks either serves the songs to be concise and memorable, or they fail to grab interest. A decent, if forgettable, jazz record.' BEST TRACKS: Blueberry Hill, Blue Monday WORST TRACKS: La La, You Done Me Wrong

Great

Didn't finish it. Not my cup of tea but the music is not bad.

Eh. very early Rock and Roll stuff. Kinda fun, very different era

Fats Domino is always good to hear.

Some good old-fashioned rock & roll. Enjoyed the first couple of songs, but then it got a little repetitive.

Swingy but boring at some point.

Could be worse Highlight tracks: 3, 6, 12

Decent, bluesy swingy, really enjoyed it, never heard of him. 3/5

Great stuff. Not really an album, but a load of enjoyable hits.

A few good songs but honestly feels more historically important than actually good a lot of the time.

Great album

It is what it is but its nice.

Yeah oldies rock n roll stuff. Fun little listen. 3/5.

Real rating 3.5

Although I tend to group Fats Domino with other blues players, I found this a lot simpler than other albums by blues players that I've heard. Simple is not necessarily a bad thing, but here I was expecting a bit more from him. I respect Fats Domino because he broke so much ground as a rock and roll artist. I might put this on again, maybe as background music. It's just not hitting me emotionally.

Pioneering stuff. Clean production. More varied than the songs popular on the radio would suugest.

The reason most of us have heard of Fats is because of Blueberry Hill or Ain’t That a Shame, neither of which I've liked much, so I wasn’t looking forward to this review. But I was pleased that the rest of the album has a nice feel to it, especially the more up-tempo tracks and the accompanying sax. Apparently, he’d said that he was nothing special or new, he was just playing the New Orleans R&B that had been kickin’ around for 15 years. Of the artists I know from that era, they were edgier (and arguably, had better voices) but Fats had a more radio-friendly sound and was an endearing live performer. As a side note, the 1001 YouTube playlist has none of the same songs of the 1001 Spotify playlist.

The issue with listening to highly influential and groundbreaking music is that you need to put yourself back to the period that it came out to appreciate just how new and innovative it was back in the day because folks would copy this new style so it gets lost in history. Fats was in this category. So although I wouldn’t seek this out to listen to it, I recognize it for being groundbreaking

Spicy spicy dicey dicey! Jazz music was nice not my forte.

Interesting as a milestone in the history of rock - but not sure I'd listen to it too much for pleasure

Rock and roll clásico

Quite liked this, not my normal listening genre but still it was enjoyable and you can see where early rock and roll/jive/blues has its roots

I don’t really know how to rate this. I recognise that this is important in music history but I didn’t engage with it at all.

good singer

alright, not a heavy rotation one

would like to bop to in a 50s dancehall

Very enjoyable New Orleans grooves that hook you in instantly. The more raucous they are the better IMO, for that street parade kinda feel. Can't work out if I've heard Blueberry Hill before but it's got the feel of a timeless classic to it. A genre I wouldn't choose to listen to very often, but when I do maybe this'll be my go-to album. 3.5.

He's not THAT fat. Enjoyed the album. Poor Me was my highlight, so it's a shame that wasn't available on Spotify.

Classics. Building blocks of rock.

Foundational pieces to rock and roll that do not have the energy of Bo Diddley.

Wasn't crazy about the album, but I know if I was seeing this live I'd enjoy it much more

Songs were shorter than what I am used to from this style of music, but each song has a unique feel. Decent listen, but I will be adding a handful to my jazz and blues playlists.

The true king. This is the R&B teaching Rock and Roll how it should sound.

I like and respect what he does but probably not my cup of tea on a regular basis. Great soft voice

It's impossible to not love Fats Domino. I can picture myself in a bar in New Orleans right now listening to this album. Favorite Tracks: "Blueberry Hill" "Blue Monday"

It's tricky to rate this album. I don't think the full album is on Spotify, so I'm not sure if I'm rating this correctly. Still the songs I did hear were all pretty good. Nothing really stood out except the big hit "Blueberry Hill". Still not too bad. I bet it was more impactful when it came out.

That is Fats

Spotify won't let me listen to half the album for some reason but the first half was good.

Good fun … just know them all without consciously seeking them out

Good album, nice style

Classic music which reminded me of all the fallout games. Great, unlikely to listen too again but still very solid

Fats Domino is a legend, and his piano tunes are toe-tapping in this solid album. Blueberry Hill is one of my all time favorite songs. Unfortunately, at being 65 years old, the album is definitely hindered by its age to stand out.

Nothing wrong with some old school rock and roll.

its ok.

Album bello, un bel po' datato, nulla di rivoluzionario ascoltarlo nel 2021. Molto piacevole pero`

Incredible R&B energy and sound. These guys really were mugged off from their own music.

Really nice, easy listening. Not something I think I'd go out of my way to listen to again though.

Funky. Made me feel classy

Some very, very good rock'n'roll. Unfortunately, I'm just never crazy into pre-60s rock, no matter how good it is. All in all a nice and listenable record, but nothing that draws me in significantly.

Lovely stuff - it’s rock n roll baby

lovely stuff

Liked everything on here. 2 or 3 absolute crackers

Es parte de la historia de la música

not sure how to classify him... r&b? Rock? Soul (is that its own thing?) it's all right -- got a little rhythm to it I'll call it R&B -- I guess it's the ORIGINAL Rock!! 3/5, although it might grow on me and get a better score later...

Great name for a person. It takes swagger to call yourself an obese name and make it cool. Fats Domino. Minnesota Fats. Matt's old cat JJ. I really like Domino's locomotive shuffle. Really stands out compared to other 50s rock n rollers I've heard, which is basically Little Richard and Elvis. I'd put this on again while making eggs on a Sunday. B

Fun stuff, good background music. Good porch-sitting-beer-drinking music.

Nice, but not my taste

old school boogie woogie. is it good? is it bad? more of a pleasant artifact than something I can truly get into.

Best gezellig.

good

3/5

I lost interest after a few songs. They all started to sound the same

3.5 - Love the vibe and the sound. Long live Fats.

Hail Fats! Especially Garland Jeffreys gives more than: 2.5

I didn’t realize Fats Domino was such a popular early rock ‘n roll artist. Also didn’t know he was from New Orleans. Good listen.

Half the album not available on Spotify. Nice old school rock and roll.

C’est bon mais je n’ai pas ete epoustoufle. L’album n’est pas long. 3*

Great voice, super old style of music that doesn't do it for me now. Historic influencer of Elvis and many others... just not my speed today.

Note: I could not find the titled album, so I listened to his "Greatest Hits: Walking To New Orleans" instead. This is another one of those cases where something is important for historical reasons but not necessarily good by modern standards. Yes, Fats Domino was a very influential person in musical history and I don't mean to downplay his skills or contributions at all, but this album simply did not do it for me. To start, the actual quality of the recording is very poor by modern standards. On my modern hi-fi system, it still sounded like I was listening to a cheap wonky jukebox in a 50's diner somewhere. Maybe the masters are simply low quality and cannot be improved upon, but any sort of restoration attempt would be greatly appreciated. The music itself falls into the Seinfeld trap: it may have been innovative when it first came out, but now that it's been copied and iterated on a million times, the originals feel quaint, dated, and cliched.

I'm totally not into these type of "oldies", but will give it a 3-star rating because "Blueberry Hill" is a fine song.

Lots unavailable on Spotify.

Unfortunately Spotify only has about half of the album. What I heard I liked!

Couldn't access full album

Why did I think Fats was only jazz and not bebop?

every song sound kinda same, but its cool

Short, uplifting rock-and-roll songs, old-school!

Classic rock blues, but not something I'll listen to often.

1. Really cool intro song, I love the chorus a lot. I like how the drums are the last element to stop playing too. 2. The accenting of the beats is cool, and I think the overall instrumental is pretty nice. 3. Felt short, but the bass on it is really cool, as high pitched as it is. 4. Piano really accents the entire song, love it. 5. Laid back groove, like it a lot. 6. Liked it. 7. Liked it as well. 8. Nice song. 9. Horns pop off in this one. 10. Interesting piano part, I love how it kind of sets up the song at the start. 11. Cool song. 12. Liked it.

This was pleasant.

Only because some songs couldn’t be played in Spotify.

Ok but kinda boring compared to rock and roll

Swingt de pan uit deze nummers, bijvoorbeeld het intermezzo in Where did you stay. Opname kwaliteit is niet fantastische; de microfoon gaat bij hogere volumes van bijvoorbeeld de zang wat meezingen / meeresoneren zo lijkt het. Stereo mix is ook opvallend, de zang zit vaak alleen rechts. Vooral muzikaal een leuk album, maar wel een beetje let down door de opname kwaliteit en mastering imo.

Interesting to hear and learn about the artist and that time but nothing more

Love Fats' voice and his range; from upbeat to soulful. Superb piano and timing at 1:08 on "La La". A showcase in finger dexterity! Would have to be in a certain mood to play this so will rate 3/5.

Not bad but not amazing 6.5/10

Interessante, musicalidade da época, agradável demais, leve.

rock n roll meh

A 50’s artist I’ve always fucked with. Fats was that dude

Sadly not all songs were available but still fun

5/10 FT: Blueberry hill

Nice, easy soul and blues

Closer to a 3.5. Very energetic, which I appreciate. Take my rating with a grain of salt, as half the album is missing from spotify

Several tracks are catchy enough, but im not sure it's a relisten.

One of the worthy inclusions of its era. Despite the many versions of this album and similar ones available online, any iteration of Delta Blues hits would result in a worthwhile inclusion. 7/10 [KEEP]

I can see this being foundational. "The Fat Man's Hop" was fun.

Not my type

Not my kind of thing. Not terrible, just would never go out of my way to listen to it again

Grand yet every song pretty much sounds the same. Uneventful

Старий рок-н-рол. Я не фанат. Оцінка: середня-висока 4

I don't want to cast doubt that I think this was bad. Just not my style. I know for the time it was released it pushed the envelope and Fats is one of the great Fathers of RnR. I'm just more of a Lil Richard kinda guy

I'm really trying with these 50s albums, and I understand that they might be groundbreaking and the first of their kind, but that doesn't mean they're enjoyable to listen to. I sat through all of it and didn't recognise a single song, so I don't really know what to say.

Good background music. The individual tracks all blurred together for me, and nothing stood out. Maybe good for its time but I feel I've heard better blues music. Nothing bad about it though. 2 stars.

No aportó mucho a mi vida

okay

Ein frühes Rock’n’Roll‑Dokument, das man respektieren kann, aber heute nur noch bedingt zündet. Fats Dominos Mischung aus Boogie‑Woogie‑Piano, einfachen Harmonien und gemütlichem Shuffle‑Tempo wirkt für ihr Alter solide, aber eben auch ziemlich formelhaft.

Not all that interesting to me

Neat!

Good music for the time period, but it is extremely dated. A good quick listen that I enjoyed while it was on, but won’t be going back to it any time soon.

Un blues bien viejo. No está mal. No me partió la cabeza tampoco.

It's not bad, I mean. But not WOW.

While I understand that Fats Domino is perhaps the ur-example of mainstream Rock & Roll and early R&B, so he's pretty foundational to modern popular music. You can definitely hear that a lot isn't built yet. And being in the 50s we're still very much in the "collection of tracks" rather than "coherent album" territory and that's definitely true here. This albums peaks early with the opening two songs "Blueberry Hill," and "Honey Chile" being far better than the rest.

Didn’t hate it, wouldn’t pick it. VERY dated. Just not my thing. 2/5

meh not my type

Snooze

great fallout soundtrack

This one is a victim of time for me. Just too old, man. With the exception of Blueberry Hill I didn’t care much for it.

This is just about *the* quintessential picture of the one-trick pony. It's a good trick. But that's it. That's all there is. I've called out some Same-Song Artists on this list. This the ring leader of the Same-Song All-Stars. I like it! It's a good song! But why must I listen to a whole damn album? Gets old quick. 2 & 1/2

Very nice songs overall, but listening to the whole album one after the other is... boring. They're all pretty much similar, and it's making me crazy

Not for me

Helt standard sanger i en sjanger som er uinteressant for meg. Vanskelig å forstå hvorfor dette albumet er med på denne lista. Heldigvis kort, så takk for det, Fats.

No me agarró en el mood adecuado

J'ai pas ete convaincu

If you want a good early rock and roll record listen to Here's Little Richard, now that's got some energy to it.

3/10 Probably good if I was born in the 40’s. The day it ended.

Very american. It's ok.

Creo que hay al menos 10 discos exactamente igual a este que ya me hizo escucha resta página

Definitely interesting but I think this is just too old timey sounding to really get into it

This classic and vintage rock and roll music takes me back to the basics. I can almost picture myself in a bar in the 1950s, listening to this music.

Good old swing music. Wonder if he’s Corey in the House’s grandfather, damn they look similar.

5/10 - it's alright in the background, of its time

LOVED IT OLIDEIS WOW

Influencing everyone from Elvis to the Beatles, I was looking forward to spending some time with Fats for the very first time time this morning. As scandalous as I'm sure this would have sounded to the general population seventy years ago, time has removed a lot of edge from Domino's music. What you are left with here is a collection of old school rock and roll that is still pleasant enough to enjoy for this LP's very brief runtime, even though it is ultimately forgettable. I was expecting this to be more fiery and energetic, but its a laid-back affair with Domino's warm voice and piano leading the songs. The influence of Fats may be undeniable, I'm in no rush to check out any more of his stuff.

Some blues, some rock, some soul sounds, but basically he's a crooner. Short stuff for radio - yawn.

Sorta what feels like the Ed Sheeran of his time, popular in what he wrote and is catchy in certain parts but doesn't hold much substance when diving deeper

most of it wasnt on spotify so i only got to listen to a portion. just not for me.

El álbum presenta una instrumentación que me pareció interesante, especialmente por el uso del piano y los ritmos clásicos del rock and roll. Se nota la calidad musical y la influencia que este estilo tuvo en su época. Algunas letras que logré entender me parecieron bien construidas y coherentes con el estilo del artista. Sin embargo, en lo personal, no fue un álbum que disfrutara completamente. Prefiero otros tipos de música más modernos, ya que nací en los años 90 y este estilo se siente más cercano a la época de mis abuelos. Aunque entiendo su importancia histórica, no logra conectar conmigo como oyente actual. Además, no encontré ninguna canción que me motivara a escucharla en mi día a día, por ejemplo, mientras conduzco después del trabajo. Para mí, la música también debe funcionar como entretenimiento cotidiano, y este álbum no cumplió con esa expectativa. En conclusión, le doy una calificación de 2/5, reconociendo su valor musical e histórico, pero sin lograr generar un gusto personal en mí debido a mis preferencias por otros géneros.

good for background use lol but kinda enjoying though i wasn't paying attention, thus 2 stars (must revise later this)

Not necessarily my taste but also don’t super dislike it.

not so bad. got a little bored by the end, just nudged the score down. favorite song was So Long

Rating: 5/10 I'm not even sure I listened to the right thing. Whatever the collection of songs I listened to actually is, he's a talented old timey guy. Don't think I'll become a of Fats

A little annoying at the beginning, pretty grating by the end. Wasn't vibing with this one 3.7/10

Not really my bag

Pas trop mon style, mais dansant

253/1089 the music is good/alright, as an album i can’t say i really cared for it much but it was a nice vibe to listen to fave: Trust In Me 31/100

I understand the huge impact Fats Domino had on rock and roll but nearly 70 years later this just feels like generic blues/rock. Many of the songs sound very very similar. It has its place in history but for me doesn't really hold up today.

Not an overly appealing sound to me. I'm gonna pass on fats. I respect the hustle, but it just aint for me.

Ja alltså det lät ungefär precis som man trodde att det skulle låta. En del låtar saknades så det var en kort upplevelse.

Meh. That being said, Blueberry Hill

Well, I had to piece this album together on Deezer from various other albums, so who knows if I gave it the proper listening it deserved. This is run-of-the-mill boogie woogie that probably made a few people smile back in 1957. It's an amiable enough listen, but nothing that I find really interesting or exciting.

This seems historically important. But so is the decline of the Holy Roman Empire and yet that doesn't appear on a list of albums I'm supposed to listen to. Blue Monday is the only song I would conceive of listening to again voluntarily. I'm giving a generous 2 because he was thoughtful enough to make these songs only 2 minutes long.

Riktigt gôtt dansbandssväng på flera låtar (det är menat som positivt) och blåset är fantastiskt rakt igenom, det är skivans stora behållning, tillsammans med Fats sång. Sista 3-4 spåren tappar skivan lite styrsel, fanns kanske inte tillräckligt med kvalitativt material. Stark tvåa

Efter att ha lyssnat igenom Fats Dominos skiva rekommenderar streamingtjänsten mig att lyssna på ”Frogman” Henry, som under 50-talet blev känd för att kunna sjunga som en groda. ”Frogman”, som var samtida med Fats, hankade under några magra år dessförinnan sig fram som pianist och trombonist. När han en kväll improviserade fram sin imitation av en sjungande groda satt en av scouterna på Chess records i publiken. De signade honom direkt. ”Aint got no home” blev en hit där ”Frogman” Henry sjunger första versen som människa, andra versen som en liten flicka och tredje versen som groda. ”Frogman” Henry var en sann allkonstnär i dess rätta bemärkelse. Han dog 2024 vid en ålder av 87 grodår. Om Fats Domino har jag inte så mycket att säga. Han gör sitt jobb. Har man hört en låt har man hört alla.

2.5 Stars - half the album was unlisted on Spotify but wasn't bad from what i'd heard.

Doododoooo good vibes yadayada

I’m torn because it was fun to listen to and I liked what’s the reason I’m not pleasing you a lot but I probably won’t think to put this on again…

It swings, it rocks and it rolls but it's a bit too dated for me.

While Fats Domino may be an influential singer, especially in the transition of soul into rock, this album is mostly filler surrounding Blueberry Hill.

Was probably good before all other music existed

Wider Pre-60er jahr. Chani nüd defür wenn sie denn die modern musig noni erfunde hend. 2 mal e dominispizza mit würstlirand bitte

Enjoyable listen, but not something I'd revisit.

I have to be really in the mood for this, or watching a period piece or something. Otherwise it’s kinda boring to me

Not for me lmao

Kinda boring, not my thing.

Objectively good and talented but just not the type of music I am drawn to listen to

i have nothing to say

this couldve been an email

because it's so old i found it hard to enjoy fully. pretty sure i listened to the wrong album, as well

No es mucho mi estilo pero aprecio su valor histórico 2.5

Not really my cup of tea, and I say this at risk of repeating myself, but it was mostly a background music for me that day, sorry... :/

Like working at Happy Harry’s all over again

fun

About half of this album was unavailable on Spotify, but I did manage to find a complete YouTube playlist from a user called "1001 Albums Journey" who must have encountered the same issue 8 years ago. Anyway, another one to file under "appreciate having heard it but have no desire to revisit". Sounds like exactly the sort of thing you'd hear in a smoke-filled dive bar.

Domino wasn’t fat. He was heavily pregnant with rock’n’roll. And his discography is the sound of a slow, pained labour. Yes, this interstitional between pre-rock’n’roll and rock’n’roll has some of the lush, horny orchestration of swing, but it don’t swing. It has some of the unthinking simplicity of rock’n’roll, but it don’t rock. It is the worst of both impulses - big band, with a small band; rock with needless ornaments. Rhythmically leaden, harmonically unsophisticated. Sure, Domino is a charmingly staid presence, but he can hear him gritting his teeth, quelling them screams, the pangs, the tears, the abjection of birth. Within him, a rough beast turns and twists, dragging his slouched body to Memphis to be born. But he is trying to ignore it this whole time - like in Eastenders, when the teenage Sonia didn’t even realise she was pregnant until it was too late. 2 Fats Domino has an interesting voice. It has a quality of surprise at finding itself singing; unshowy, slightly flat but game. The piano playing, when audible, is good too and there are unexpected delights from the rest of the band; the guitar on Reeling and Rocking, the odd drag of the drums on So Long, the horns on Trust in Me. The songs aren’t bad - procedural maybe but I appreciate how much they pack in in their unassuming 2 minutes each. I enjoyed listening to this - a nice surprise. Although it will be a while yet until I am over Vladimir Putin’s version of Blueberry Hill. 2.5/5

Some interesting bits to this but it all sort of went over my head.

Det er ikke noe direkte galt med Fats Dominos This Is Fats Domino, men som er tilfellet med that old rock 'n' roll, er det ikke noe spesielt interessant ved det heller når man ser det utenfor contexten av sin tid. Låter som The Fat Man's Hope beviser på en måte at jazzen var nexusen for det interessante som skjedde i musikken på 50-tallet, mens gitaren i Trust in Me demonstrerer hvordan det var den elektriske gitaren som var den egentlige revolusjonen i rocken. Men på 50-tallet var man som regel for pussy til å shredde, og når man først gjorde det, som på Trust in Me, tar det bakteppe til borgerlige instrumenter som piano og vokal. Det var (så vidt jeg vet) først med Link Wray's Rumble i '58 at den elektriske gitaren fikk være både stjernen *og* elektrisk. Før det foretrekker jeg jazz. Play me some of that old surf rock.

I am simply not interested in this type of music. I dont like this late 50‘s early 60‘s sound and probally never will.

I’m not a huge fan of early rock and roll. I knew Blueberry Hill. It was fine. It was nice and short, but nothing great in my opinion.

I see it, but my mind is not blown

Album #28 Fats Domino: This Is Fats Domino I ended up listening to Fats Domino Swings since I couldn’t find the other album, and it just seemed like a compilation album anyway. Swings seemed to have most of his memorable songs, so I went with that one. An album that is really more essential to listen to for its influence rather than how well it has held up. That isn’t to say it’s not an enjoyable experience, but even less than 10 years after this came out, music had evolved so much to the point that this just seems glaringly outdated compared to music from the mid-60s, which, to me at least, holds up tremendously. But when listening to this album, you can hear the groundwork forming for what would make up much of the rock and roll movement. There are some lovely and timeless songs here, though the production will forever hold it back from appealing to modern audiences. Funnily enough, a few months ago I watched the movie 12 Monkeys, in which the song Blueberry Hill was a prominent part of the plot; and just a few days ago I watched Marty Supreme, in which Timothee Chalamet and Tyler The Creator, ghost ride the whip to the song The Fat Man. So it seems that Fats has remained an icon for his era, as both those movie plots centre around the 50s in some way. Best Songs: Blueberry Hill, Ain’t That A Shame, The Fat Man Worst Song: Bo Weevil Score out of 10: 5.5

boring yawning

It's fine. Nothing to grab on to.

blueberry hill is one of the most important rock records of all time but after about 10 minutes of 50s diner rock i swear i've been listening to the same song the entire time and the playlist is just gaslighting me

OVERALL: This is pretty mediocre, a lot of the instrumentals were basically loops with a solo halfway in between, and his singing is fine but a little stale. I know this was made almost 70 years ago, but there are other albums from around this time that are pretty good and more consistent than this. A lot of the songs aren't mixed very well, and don't have interesting lyrics. They don't sound that bad, but they don't really sound impressive enough in any aspect to be something that you must hear. I guess Blue Monday and Blueberry Hill are good enough? SONG AVG: 5.77083333/10 PERSONAL RATING: 5/10 Blueberry Hill: Pretty catchy, although the lyrics are extremely simple. Nice singing and trumpets, I like the fusion of R&B and rock. Unfortunately, it's really short and very simple. The drums are basically the same for the whole song. 8/10 Honey Chile: I just realized how short this album is. This is shorter than a lot of 'interludes' I've heard, so there isn't much to judge. More interesting lyrics than Blueberry Hill, but the instrumentals are definitely worse. I still like the jazz stuff, but it's so repetitive that it gets kinda stale after a few seconds. 5.25/10 What's The Reason (I'm Not Pleasing You): Are all of these songs the exact same thing? The instrumental is repetitive, but it's more interesting than Honey Chile. There isn't anything special here other than the sax solo, which is pretty good so that's nice. His vocals are kinda stale. 6/10 Blue Monday: Blueberry Hill but more interesting in every way. Pretty nice energy, very catchy and great instrumentals. 9/10 So Long: Might as well be an instrumental track, but the instrumental isn't that bad. Still not much going on. 7.5/10 La La: Horrendous mixing, sounds like someone is playing this in an apartment below me while I'm trying to sleep. Also, it's fairly annoying. It doesn't sound that bad, I guess. 3.75/10 Troubles Of My Own: So forgettable. Nice solo I guess. 4/10 You Done Me Wrong: There is one verse, the rest is just Fats screaming OH OH OH OH. I like the instrumental, but the oh's are way too distracting and not mixed well. 4/10 Reeling And Rocking: His vocals are way too loud, but it's pretty good other than that. 6.75/10 The Fat Man's Hop: Pretty nice instrumental, and that's it. There are no lyrics. 6.5/10 Poor, Poor Me: It's so mid. 5/10 Trust in Me: This is the longest song on the album, and it's under 3 minutes. I guess it's interesting, but the solos are not that good and the end is pretty annoying. 4/10

Not my type of music, everything pretty samey.

Um...

A primeira faixa do álbum, a caixa da bateria parece uma caixa de abelha, a partir da segunda já volta ao normal. As coisas estão certinhas nos devidos lugares.. e pra quem gosta do estilo musical considero um bom álbum

5 / 10

Made me want to play backgammon.

Ehh

Just kinda tough to get into man

Recognised more than I expected to but not really my taste.

didn’t really listen properly so maybe my fault i found it boring 17/12

Not my cuppa

Ei kyllä maistu. Kovaa yritystä siellä täällä, mutta varsinkaan tähän mielentilaan ei kolahtanut ollenkaan.

Läski pelinappula varmaan ihan legis ukko, pioneeri ja sillee, mut nyt siitä ei pisteitä ropise. Ei jaksanu edes kaikkia biisejä kuunnella

Eipä tässä nyt mikään kuulostanu mitenkään erikoiselta, samanlaista tauhkaa varmaan miljoona levyä.

Täähän on tätä aikasta rokettirollia mutta vähän on pliisua. Eikä oo taaskaan tarpeeks Fallouttia. Ei lähe oikein millään vaikka kuinka puristelis. Mutta nimestä plussaa jos ei muuta. Ei pysty kyl ees kolmosta nyt antamaan. Ei oo sermiä saati särmiä.

inget som stack ut

old classic stuff that sounds like it

I'm sure it's historically significant, but I seriously doubt it'll get much more play for me.

that was it? fun I guess. reminds me swing dancing with **. two

3.0/10

After a couple of tracks became a bit boring

pretty good. i like the piano it was fun and upbeat. not something i see myself returning to though

I listened to it twice and still can’t remember it.

A thorough exploration of a few chord structures and musical ideas. I do like this kind of mellow bluesy rock and roll and it would have been amazing to hear live, but the recordings are showing their age and nothing really stood out.

Not my style, but I can appreciate how important the artist and music was/is. Listening 2 stars, respect 5 stars.

I wonder what current music will be so much of its time that it cannot possibly make it out of its own era…

Day 67 Voice as smooth as butter but not an album I’d return to. Good but not for me 5/10 Highlights Blueberry Hill

nothing music

Some old albums feel timeless but this just felt kind of old. 50s music is not a preferred genre for me. The lyrics are kinda simplistic and boring

Nice, simple fun listen, but I don't see myself coming back to it very often, if at all. Pretty basic stuff, but still interesting to see where rock was at before it really came into what it's perceived as today.

I see why this was popular, but it didn't really do much for me.

This is fun stuff, and obviously important music. The building blocks for so much that came after is here. That said, I just can't get into pre-Beatles rock 'n' roll. It's a nice listen, but rarely goes deeper than that for me. Standout Track(s): Blueberry Hill, What's the Reason I'm Not Pleasing You

Okay album. Not really my cup of T...i'd give it a 2/5 or a 5/10

Meh, that's the general feeling I get when listening to this record. I understand the importance of Fats Domino's boogie-woogie piano playing style on early rock (and roll), but man, this is plain dull and repetitive. Also, I'm not charmed of his so called laid-back, but to me almost sleepy, voice either. Not for me. Early rock 'n roll is not my thing, but I rather listen to Little Richard or Jerry Lee Lewis than this. 1 star for his importance, and one more for the fact that, luckily, this record lasted for only 26 minutes. 2/5

Too 50s

Fats has a beautiful and powerful voice. Not really my kinda music but I enjoyed parts of it. Favorite track: The Rooster Song

Boring?

Placeholder #2 - gotta get to it but it's not available for streaming.

A nice little album. Nothing crazy from my listening, but I can see the influence on future artists, but not something I'll come back to. 2.5/5.

Fats by stage name. Skimps by nature. Outside of Blueberry Hill and Blue Monday i.e songs with ‘blue’ in the title, this album is more like a size zero when it comes to real essential highlights. Such boring, hokey and madly dated bread and butter 50s rock and roll but no butter because that’s too calorific and just a crumb of bread please. Original cover has got good Jack Torrance at a typewriter energy though.

mwa oud. leuk voor een keer op de achtergrond. zal ik nooit opzetten

Meh

Background noise

2.5

nothing special 2me

I can appreciate the influence but I'm not waking up in the morning thinking hey let me play that Fats Domino banger Fav song: Blue Monday (NEW ORDER REFERENCE?!)

Better than Elvis

I guess this must be very early rock and roll because this was mostly piano and horn instruments, which doesn’t exactly sound like rock and roll to me. The first half sounded like department store music. I was bored. The 2nd half was better but not by much.

Not at all a fan but he looks nicd

Dinner music, like music you put on at real low volume.

I get why it's on the list, but not for me. I quite liked the lyrics, but it didn't keep my interest very well aside from that.

Definitely sounds dated. Not my cup of tea.

I wouldn’t have usually ventured into this, but it was enjoyable. I guess that is the whole point of this generator. Grooves, catchy tunes and just generally pleasant. Not sure how many times I’d revisit it, but that doesn’t detract from its validity.

I didn't hate it but it was boring. Blueberry Hill set the tone with it's lazy, laid back, sleepy sound and it rarely picked up after that. I appreciate the influence he gave to other bands but quite frankly all they did was throw in a guitar, drum kit and 100% more effort and enthusiasm.

This is unfortunately a bit boring - understand how it would've been influential but much prefer this style with a more energetic singer, this ends up sounding quite dull.

Whenever I give music like this a low rating it makes me feel very uncultured. That’s not Fats’s problem though.

A bit too 50s pop for me

I'm not saying that Fats didn't have it going on back in his day, but as far as old school Rock n' Roll goes, this was one of them. Fine, but hard to imagine anyone getting too worked up for this one other than to scratch a pseudo-nostalgic itch while eating a milkshake or something. This one slid right off my brain, and for that it gets a 2
