The Hissing of Summer Lawns

ou, esse aqui é uma DELICINHA hein. bão pra ouvir tomano um cafézim de tardinha.

mais jazz do que eu esperava, inclusive. the jungle line eh top.

This album is pleasant background music but also easily forgettable. Nothing grabbed me at all, everything sounded the same and blended into one.

Jazz and folk are not my genres and when mixed together give you a 1/5

Favourite song: I couldn’t pick one
Least favourite: Harry’s House / Centre piece.
Album artwork: Cool cover

Brilliant. Beautiful, biting social commentary, fantastically innovative production, Joni is so much more than folksy

A little yacht rock-y in a good way. Lots of jazzy riffs behind Joni’s ethereal voice.

Eine gute Stimme, die mit Piano Begleitung kraftvolle Balladen singt. Sie wirken irgendwie zeitlos. Es ist schön zu hören, wobei jedoch keine Highlights dabei waren.

I liked this okay, but I think this has been my least favorite of the Joni Mitchell albums so far. Which isn't to say it isn't good, it is. But there has to be one least favorite, right? And since it's my least favorite so far, I'll knock it down a star it probably doesn't deserve to be knocked down.

Nice jazzy folk, some really nice and unusual chord progressions. However, it is a bit too easy-listening at times and just breezes by.

It’s hideous lounge singer shit.

I didn't like this as much as Blue. The Jungle Line is fairly irritating. Harry's House is my favorite track on here.

I'm sorry, but I don't get Joni. Lovely voice, clearly very important to her generation but it's all pretty underwhelming for me. Pretty enough songs, without really getting the aural juices flowing

Not really my type. Sounds a bit dreary

I, at the very least, understand where her idea for her album, Mingus, came from, as this album is far jazzier than expected, although once you actually hear Mitchell perform this way, it makes total sense. She has always used her voice as an odd, "do whatever the Hell it wants," sort of instrument, and that allows a lot of the tracks to not only exemplify the poetic lyrics a lot stronger, but also be catchy in a way no other musical artist can be. It can be repetitive, but every song here is at least good, and some unique ideas allow this album to feel like a new experience to those familiar with her work while still feeling like you're right at home. A solidly great album, with very little notes.

incredible album. can’t believe i’ve never listened to joni mitchell before today

Disenchanted lullabies

I don't really get Joni Mitchell, I don't think. A lot of these sounded fine, but extremely aimless and unstructured. Made me bored. Couldn't settle into the right wavelength for it.

I've just realised that I absolutely do not like Joni Mitchell. It's rare for me to be this bored while listening to an album. Everything just sounds dated, and the few bits that are not incredible uninteresting are straight up annoying.

This took a couple of listens but the more I listen the more I’m falling in love with this album, lyrically and musically it’s so impressive, this is a hidden Gem to me anyway, given Iv only really listened to blue before. 4 stars for now might come back and give it 5 later.

Just alright to me. I liked the song The Jungle Line. Not much to say about this one.

She's a solid vocalist, and walked so that so many modern female vocalists could run, but the album is just ok. 2*
Highlights: harry's house (jazz!)

Really crazy and expiramental. Harry's House/Centerpiece needs a lyrical deep dive.
