Makes you want to bop around as soon as the first few notes are played! I did my chores while listening and it made the work so much more enjoyable! Every song is a hit, amazing. On the song Tapestry she mentions a man with a coat of many colors (Feb 1971) - Dolly's song Coat of Many colors came out in April '71! Crazy. Listening to the lyrics of tapestry the song - talking about all these threads - how experiences and relationships are interconnected... Convergences & Confluences 😊 Amazing album.
First song I'm familiar with because TMD plays it from time to time. It sounds like a lot of instruments playing at the same time. World Party (weird name considering there's a band called the same) starts out like a Carole King song (which was my album yesterday), lyrically is it a jab at Karl Walinger? Karl left in 1985 apparently. Hmmm. It feels like an Irish jam band. In Sweet Thing, he quotes a line from the Beatles Blackbird over and over. It could be good background music but nothing I could see myself putting out to listen to.
Comforting and familiar. Love this album.
Good album. Didn't jump out at me, mostly nostalgic of songs I heard growing up.
I can't listen.... I did listen to One Nation Under A Groove the song and it was a lot of fun but apparently, because of licensing issues, you can't stream it. Found it on YouTube! Super long songs! Lyrics are hysterical. Musically fascinating. Gorgeous guitar solos with lyrics like Fear of being eaten by a sandwich over top.
I enjoyed the first half more than the second half. The musical undertones were jazz and had a great sound. The subject matter was dark but the songs didn't feel dark. Towards the end it felt more harsh. Interesting album.
Fun album with a lot of sounds and I love the way he blends different instruments and styles of music.
Not a fan of the vocalist at first listen. I like the music and I can hear how they'd be interesting and energetic live but as of the first song - not my thing.
I like it. Great background music. I don't know enough about jazz to say much more than that.
Phenomenal album. Every song is wonderful. Really enjoyed every bit of it.
From the first few notes of this, it is like the perfect album. So nostalgic. So warm. So comforting. Great album, I really enjoyed it.
Beautiful album. Tapestry of melodies. Love the piano.
Musically I like it but I don't enjoy the vocalist.
Jam bands aren't my thing but I can hear the appeal to this album. The song lengths rival Funkadelic, but seem to keep you engaged even during the instrumental parts.
Enjoyed it!
Nice album. I'd have to be in the right mood to listen though, more of a winter record to me.
Very moody record. I like it but like I said about previous records, it's a fall or winter listen for me. Hard to appreciate in the summer. I get why it is considered a key record.
Gorgeous album. So rich, so emotional, and so beautiful. Amazing record for an amazing artist.
Not enjoying. Seems repetitive. Feels like circus music.
I only got through two songs, it was ok. Didn't make me want to continue listing.
Really nice album, snuck a jazz album into pop music. Very moody and great sounding.
Classic album! Love every track!
