Hurt is an incredible song.
The rest is Johnny Cash butchering songs after songs. In my Life is the worst offender. He couldn't even make a good Marty Robbins song.
This could be good, I like James Brown's music. But the live aspect of the album makes it unbearable to listen to. Can people shut the fuck up and enjoy the music?
What if the Beatles had no energy, no creativity, no personality, no soul
This isn't usually my jam, but I have to admit that the poetry here is marvelous, and it's surprisingly musical, taking inspiration from soul, funk, RnB, etc. Refreshing.
Some good songs, but overall the singer is annoying, and the music is not very creative.
Good sound, some great tunes, but half of it is a bit half baked
Pretty good, although the fake Jamaican accent is distracting in a few songs. And there's only one really great song (Message in a bottle)
Very good album, but I prefer folk Dylan.
Very good, and the 2013 edition is even better
This is listenable, but I did not need to listen to this before I die. Can we all agree Dylan peaked in 1965?
Welp, that was weird. I understand the hate. I understand the love. I'm in-between. It's at least interesting, but yeah, it can be rough to listen to, and there are genuine stinkers here... but also moments of genius. I'll remember this album if I ever make an indie movie about teen love, depression and drugs.
I usually don't like rap, and this album is the epitome of why I don't. There's no denying that Biggie has talent, but he wastes it on gross, sexist, immature lyrics, the kind of which I would have written at 14 years old and be eternally embarrassed by. There ARE some genuinely good songs here and there, like Juicy, but even that one lacks self-awareness on a very deep level. Becoming rich and famous isn't the gotcha to his teachers he seems to think it is. Bro, you write songs about your penis, sit the fuck down, that's not success, that's being a cringelord.
This is the kind of music they make inmates listen to at Guantanamo.
