Born to Be With You

The sort of thing that gives 4th rate music a bad name.

Extremely bland pop rock. Some catchy melodies here and there but nothing worth going out of your way to listen to.

This made little to no impression on me. I guess it wasn’t terrible.

Eh. Nothing really stood out to me all that much

The man on the cover looks like a boring wanker which makes sense because this feels like an album for boring wankers

Fucking dreadful. There's a strong case for this being the worst album I've had so far. Horrible, horrible dreary shite with absolutely no redeeming features. Only managed five tracks.

This is a real mixed bag. It's like walking through a beautiful but kinda creepy, sound. Dion's voice and Phil Spector's Wall of Sound make this album sound super unique and a little haunting. Tracks like the title song and "Only You Know" have this ghostly, orchestral vibe that feels timeless, even though it came out in 75.

But, on the flip side, it can be a real drag. I get why some people call it boring or sleepy. The production is so thick and the songs are slow, it feels like the music is drowning. Dion even called it funeral music and after hearing all that reverb it's hard to disagree. It's a piece of history for Spector fans, but for most people, it's more background music than anything else.

Honestly, this one is doing nothing for me.
Don't really got anything much else to say. It's kinda boring to me.

Intriguing album. Knew some of the earlier Doo Wop work by Dion so did not expect him on this vein. Overall, an interesting record.

7/10 [KEEP]

A bit of a nothing album

This album is 35 minutes long.

On Spotify, Dion’s next album from a year later is appended to the end making one continuous 1 hr 20 album.

Some sadist approved that.

Fuck that guy, fuck Phil Spector and fuck Dion too.

Mijn god.

This was boring as hell. Nothing special. The only Dion that deserves to be on this list is Celine. And guess what? SHE IS NOT ON THIS LIST!! A big fuck you to everyone who made this list.

Oh gosh, I thought Dion was a 50s band, famous for the Wanderer and Runaround Sue, actually it is, but I didn’t realise Dion was a person. A Grammy award winning singer songwriter no less.
I am a singer songwriter’s target audience but although I like the New
York Song I found this quite boring. Case in point – “ive got the whole world in my hands” which although is not one of my favourite songs, done well it is a glorious gospel number. This felt like a dirge.
Apparently, the album wasn’t well received when it was released but people like Bobby Gillespie of Primal Scream thought it was okay so that’s alright for the book’s compiler.
Thank you not Bobby!

Kein Hit, aber ok im Hintergrund.

Solider Sound der 70er ohne Auffälligkeiten.

Very easy listening, incredibly inoffensive. Pleasant enough to listen to tbh.

I hace tried like 4 times to just listen to the first song and i just can't. Literally falling asleep

Does not rock.
