Not my vibe....

Not diggin' "All Directions" much. Lay some more funk down instead of the slow jams. Makes the list for the scared whitey and cheating father tracks I guess. I am not tempted to listen to any more of their albums...0.9 stars.

Not sure what it is about All Directions that lands it on this list. What I got was a pretty slow, boring album that did very little to keep me interested for anywhere near the 30 minute playtime. Even the best track, Papa Was A Rolling Stone has little to offer. It had a decent setup, and I kept expecting it to grow or break out at some point. Instead I got 11 minutes of a monotonous beat that could/should have been trimmed down. It feels like the 70's have much more to offer within this realm. The Temptations seem like they needed to lean more into the funk/groove and get away from the gospel/soul aspect to hook me in any way. Maybe this is one where you had to be there to understand why it's important but this would be one to remove/replace for me. 1.07 stars

I didn't enjoy it

I was expecting to really like this, but I didn’t all that much. I know the temptations have some good songs so I was disappointed. Maybe there will be a better representation of them on the list.

Херь какая то

Couldn't be arsed with this, especially not an 11 minute version of Papa Was A Rolling Stone

Not for me. I listened to it but that’s about all I can positively say.

Not my jam

I can't believe this was a number one album. It was so boring.

Słuchalem kilkanaście razy i nie udało się wkręcić. Nigas is komin run jedynie zapadło w pamięci, nudny.

It was missing the funk. Too much treble, not enough bass in the mix for a funk album. Felt like it went on forever.

The funk songs were fine but too long without going anywhere. I didn't enjoy the ballads at all

Just no

Not into this divisive music

I can't even remember listening to this.

Um produto de sua época, envelheceu q nem leite, horrivel

1/10, я не люблю джаз

Thankful for a short album. I only liked 2 tracks. Not interested in the rest.

Dehär va inte så bra. 1 / 5

Gefällt mir nicht.

Nichts für mich. Zuviel Funk.

Meh. Didn’t really like any of the songs tbh not my thing

J'ai pas trop écouté, ça m'a vraiment pas emballé.

Man. I never really sought to listen to The Temptations outside of their popular hits, and listening to this made me real glad I never did. Obviously they’ve got their hits and they’re great. But this album just isn’t it for me. “Papa Was a Rolling Stone” was literally over 10 minutes long and the most interesting thing about it was the bass line, which was a 4 bar I fire loop in which the bass was resting 3/4 of the time. They say music isn’t about the notes you play, but the notes you don’t. And that’s true much of the time but come on, guys! The entire album was just way too slow and repetitive for me.

Langatmiger Soul.

Just so all over the place. I was perpetually bored and the songs were looooong. Even when they weren’t that long, they felt long.

Not great, didn't like a single song in this album

Not a fan. To much focus on social awareness and not enough on enjoyable music.

white mans black man music

Pants. Flared pants. Who chooses these. Not impressed with the definition of classic.

Not for me.

"Papa was a Rolling Stone" is the most known song on album but otherwise underwhelming. Classic Motown music but didn't really care for it. 3/10.
