Let's Stay Together

It's fine. All the sexy hits, but by 72 it's a derivative of a throw back Era. All the style and class, dripping in backup singers bit it's over. Falls in the face of the new consciousness and direction of 1972 and where music of all styles was going. Motown in the face of Hendrix and Floyd.

I thought I’d like this more than I did. Kinda boring, tbh.

Not my cup of tea wie man so schön sagt

Objectively, this seems to deserve to be on the 1001 list. Some of the backing instrumentals are solid. But man, I don't like soul. I dropped out on the third song.

Decent background music.

Not a fan, but not bad

Ok

One or 2 great songs. Not my thing

Im not really a soul music fan, so this didn't do it for me. No doubt he could sing though, and backed by some decent musicians, im sure this is a fine album to the right audience.

Lovely voice but the songs passed me by

first track is awesome but after the first couple it quickly plummets into fairly generic 70s rnb

Hmm.. ok classic soul, but without really standing out as anything special

It's good background music for a sunny day.

2*

One classic track the rest was me'h

Jokainen biisi loppuu häivytykseen, joten tulee olo, että tyypit ei osaa lopettaa biisejä. Kuten eivät myös tehdä kuin saman kaavan biisejä. Ihan jeesejä nyllä, mutta tylsää.

2.4

Almost liked it but not quite.

He looks young in the picture

Kutumusaa ilman kutemista ei oikein jaksa kuunnella. Toki omassa genressäänkin jää kauaksi kärjestä.

Regular

I was eager to hear this, but ultimately disappointed by the redundancy—every song is essentially the same. At least the Bee Gees cover spiced up the set.

Sigh. It was fine. Not my genre of choice, was quite bored by it. Best tracks: Let’s Stay Together, So You’re Leaving Worst track: I’ve never found a girl, How can you mend a broken heart , Judy

Für so Jazz motiviert es zu wenig zum Tanzen. Könnte geil sein, aber ist dann doch ein Ticken zu langweilig

Soul is one of my least favourite genres, so I never would have listened to this album on my own and I probably wouldn't listen to it again. The vocals were amazing, the instrumentation was solid, and the vibes were good, but it's just not for me. Best tracks: La-La For You and How Can You Mend a Broken Heart.

Enjoyable for sure, but not going to pop up in my regular rotation!

Not bad but didn't blow me away. Pretty enjoyable overall.

Pretty bland stuff, not my bag.

Not terrible, but nothing really stood out for me.

Aika hyvä

not a big fan of this album to be honest, I like a few of the songs though

I get it. Decent. Will I ever listen again? Very unlikely.

A great voice but not an album I enjoyed that much apart from the title track.

One hit album.

I'm sorry, but nah. This album activates my fight-or-flight response.

Not really my vibe... But I could appreciate a few of the songs.

Just not my style.

I love Al but I didn't love this.

Kjedelig

All of the songs sort of blend into each other. The second a song ends and another begins I've already forgotten what it sounds like. Nice background noise, not much else

Heureusement qu'il y a Let's stay together, sinon c'est juste un album de soul qui s'écoute en background

No doubting Al's got a great voice and the opener is a great track. Otherwise all a bit soul-by-numbers for me.

Meh

I only knew the first, homonymous song of the album, from Tarantino's classic "Pulp Fiction". Apart from that, the album was chill, but not worth any more words from me.

How can you mend a broken ❤️‍🩹? You listen to Al Green . He did a great job creating life long love songs. He got better with age, like a fine 🍷

escrevi 500 vezes isso, o site fica apagando. o álbum é okay, muito meloso de amor. a primeira música é okay, a voz do al é brincalhona, tem coro, saxofone come solto no coro. próximo

I like the title track quite a lot. The rest I am completely indifferent to…meh.

This soul album from the 70's is Al Green's fourth. It is critically acclaimed for the beautiful soul music and Al Green's smooth lyrics & golden voice. I enjoyed this album, but it's not something I would listen to normally.

As with some of the others, excellent vocalist and I like the music accompaniment. However, the genre just doesn't do it for me.

One good song (because it was in Pulp Fiction), the rest - boring

Мне такое впринцпе неособо нравится

one song is enough

No enganchó.

Empezó bien pero para durar media hora aburrió muy pronto.

Głos jego mi się nie podoba ://

This is pretty bland. It's not awful, but even at half an hour (including two covers) it's too long. 2/5.

Not for me

Wife beater? 1 star

No

music by an african american for african americans just doesn't appeal to me. why is it in the list ?

Slow, decent but not as much my vibe

No points from me wife beater

Not my taste in music

Fine soul album

Not my stuff

Let's yawn together.

1. together - 2 2. la la - 1 3. leaving - 1 4. feeling - 1 5. time - 1 6. girl - 1 7. heart - 2.5 8. judy - 1.5 9. fun - 1

it's sweet but not my vibe

Great title track. Otherwise quite dull. Some nice brass lines but other than the title track there’s nothing memorable.

Not a fan

Would have hated this album when it was released as Soul music was not what I liked at all. I would like to think that as I’ve matured I can appreciate this music for what it is. No doubt it is a Soul classic and the title track is a well known song immediately recognisable. But I need to be honest and as much as I try to analyse this album and look for the good things, but for me beyond that title track there is nothing. 1/5 12/8/24

So, a Barry white knockoff? Just with a higher voice? Pass

Let's Stay Together is great. I also really like, How Can You Mend a Broken Heart - but it is a Bee Gees cover, so -1. The rest of the album isn't noteworthy. Sorry Reverend.

Expected to really dislike this, but thought it started ok. It soon got too much though and I was pretty bored fairly quickly. 1.5. soul just isn't my thing

I'm not american. I have no connection to this kind of music. I don't understand it. Al Green is a violent piece of shit. His voice is ridiculous. This music is just incredibly boring and uninspired. What's he even singing about? Completely trite trash. I actively hate this album.

God this is boring.

ALBUM 1 2.14.2024 1) Let's Stay Together Very slow and tedious. I don't know why this was listened to more than 500k on Spotify. The singer's voice was inaudible, maybe because it was recorded in 1972, I don't know. 2) La-La For You Even worse than the previous one. It sounds like a lullaby for kids rather than an actual song for an audience with a taste and consciousness. 3) So You're Leaving? I wish, but I have just started this 1001 albums thing, and I'm not letting a boring album discourage me from day one. 4) What Is This Feeling Boredom, I'm telling you. And he's starting to sound high. 5) Old Time Lovin' I'm running out of creative ways to express how boring each song is. They all sound the same but more insufferable than the previous one. 6) I've Never Found A Girl Duh. If a guy looked me in the eye and said that he wrote this album for me, I would get plastic surgery and change my personality and everything else he liked about me. My gender included. 7) How Can You Mend A Broken Heart? How can you mend my Spotify recommendations after I listened to this album? 8) Judy My girl Judy, may God have mercy on you because his voice ain't gonna. 9) It Ain't No Fun For Me My thoughts about this album. But not necessarily for this song. I won't say I liked it, but I wouldn't change stations if it came up on the radio. But no, of course the only toleratable song had to be the last track in the album and the least played song on Spotify. OVERALL: Not a great start to my journey of 1001 albums. I could only listen to the songs halfway. I definitely could have died without listening to this album. Inaudible singer, bland lyrics, no emotion, toleratable instrumentation. If this album is one of the best of blues, I don't think I will ever listen to blues willingly.

Einschläfernder Soul.

Eine Kater wimmert zu leisen Klaviertönen über seine Probleme mit dem anderen Geschlecht. Es kommt kaum Power oder Begeisterung bei soviel „uuuuuuh“, „ wääää“ und „iiiiiij“ rüber. Manche nennen es Blues or Soul; ich fand es nur Zeitverschwendung.

Soul ist nicht mein Geschmack. Dieses weichgespülte und der monotone Rythmus…langweilig

Not my music

not my kind of soul

Snooze

didn't listen to all of it because it was horse bollocks

Some fun guitar stuff going on but not my style of music

nah

Sometimes I can't sleep at night. I think I might have found a solution to my problem.
