Good album with a few singles that I consistently listen to. Only thing I was kind of hoping for was to pick up on some pervasive theme, and I didn’t happen. It was kind of just songs put together.
Stream of consciousness: Dear Prudence I have never heard but so good wow. Obladi oblada is hitting right now; Great start to the day. While my guitar gently weeps is my number 3 Beatles song of all time. Happiness is a warm gun?! So good. Blackbird, what to say? I thought I was only going to list a few songs that I liked but I’m realizing I like almost every song on this album. I will / Julia are amazing. Half of what I say is meaningless. Yer Blues and Everybody’s got something to hide except for me and my monkey are good guitar jams for guitarists out there. And I love the distorted vocals. Helter Skelter then takes that to the next level.
Who are these people and why is this good. The album starts off slow, but after blue lines and be thankful for what you got, I was really invested. The drums are crisp and clean, and the base lines are really punchy. There were so many times in this album that I picked up on chops where I thought, “this would be an amazing sample “. Will definitely be listening to this album a lot moving forward. So unique.
I liked this album. Felt like I was rollerskating in a rink with a disco ball like back in the day when I was alive definitely. I've already heard hungry like the wolves, but it's really good. The synths and punchy drums were good kickstart to the day. My favorite song was definitely last chance on the stairway.
I actually liked this album more than I expected. I thought it started off really strong, but the first four songs all being ones that I ended up saving. Obviously I’ve heard heads will roll through the remix. Soft shock was probably the standout for me, including the acoustic version which really emphasized the singer‘s voice.
Come on. I mean it’s fine but I would definitely not listen again. I don’t think that anybody should be subjected to a 10 minute song where half of it is just screeching. I liked rock you and thirsty.
Not my cup of tea. There were a select few that were good, but the album was a large haystack of slop that needed to be combed through in order to get to those songs.
Wow, what an album. The first song hopes gave me chills. I also really liked funny bird and I’m definitely gonna learn it on guitar. The whole album had such a whimsical dream like feeling that you could definitely see influenced a lot of bands in the 2010s.
It honestly took me a few listens to appreciate this one. I think first listen through I was really indecisive on if this was just bad music that people praised, or if it was genuinely good. I did not have all the context of the album on first listen through. After reading a bit more about the album and John Coltrane and what brought him to making this album, the second listen through was a lot better. I ended up listening a total of four times through. I'm really glad this one was on Friday so I could have the weekend to digest. There's a lot of of emotion behind the instruments that I don't see other albums replicating. The phrasing behind the pervasive "a love supreme "shows how much you can take just four notes and create a world of music from just that.
Holy fupping groovy. You know it’s funky when the bass just sounds like a fart. I downloaded the album as I will happily listen again.
Meh. Didn’t care for it. Too long and nothing stood out.
WOOO! Just know when Prince said all the white people clap your hands, I was clapping. All the songs are very layered. David said this last week, but it’s nice to be able to pick out each instrument one by one. Long songs, sometimes too long unfortunately. The highs on this album were some of my favorite songs ever, but the lows took over a large proportion of the run time. Oh and very provocative language 🧐
Very Epic. Obviously Van Halen is a God amongst men on the guitar. Because I play guitar this album was a little redeeming in that sense. Besides the cool guitar techniques, I honestly didn’t care for this album that much.
mr Springsteen has always been an oddity to me. Very hooyah and praise the country type beat. I get how people could like this album. I am not one of those people. Next.
Loved this one. Straight up good blues rock. Gimme Shelter has to be a top 50 song of all time? Merry Clayton shines, though her voice-crack-to-mister-carriage-pipeline story is sad. Makes for some insane music. I love mick jaggers voice too it's timeless.
Damn the Wayne song is awesome. This album sounds like if someone heard it and then tried to recreate it from memory, they would end up with a worse version - Mr. Morale and the Big Steppers. Such good producing and mixing. The sounds were so clear and real, there wasn't apparent quantizing or machine-ish loops; It sounds like real music played by real people. Got slightly bored towards the end. Good album though. Would listen again.
Classic country blues. Good job James! Voice - sweet, lyrics - they were there 🤣, guitar playing - whoooweeee! I liked it; Loved it, in fact. Got me feeling some type of way.
I wanted so badly to not finish this album, yet I mustered through the pain. Genuinely should get zero stars. It's a nothing album. I do not need to be hearing Kazoo in 2026. Music so bad I got angry. Swift as the wind maybe just maybe just maybeeeee was fine.
So so so so good. Perfect for a morning drive to work, got me feeling some type of way. Love woke me up this morning is such a beautiful song. Also Papa was a Rolling Stone is a great example of how you can make 11 minutes actually great
Great beats by the legendary Dr. Dre. Express yourself is definitely my favorite song. The flow was kind of lame. Lyrics were quite explicit.
Beats are phenomenal. Fupp Cube is an interesting dude. Maybe not my kind of interesting, though. Flows were a lot better than NWA as well. Not enough wow factor for anything more than a three.
