Not really my type.

wow she looks a lot like dominique dipierro from mr robot, did she time travel?

Very meh, ok album. The blues elements were pretty good, the country elements less so. 2.5/5 -> 3/5

Too 80s, too poppy, too country for me. Just not my vibe at all. I can respect it though. As far as this kind of music goes it's much more tolerable to me than most, and I can tell that it had artistic thought and creativity put into it.

Let's stop shitting on Bonnie Raitt and start respecting the fact that she had the guts to combine country with crappy 80s synthpop, and to do it all 20 years past her prime, too. Truly praiseworthy. I salute your terrible decision-making, Bonnie 🫡

eäh aika geneerinen kasarinaispop-levy. jää bonnie tylerista selvästi. 2/5

2.09

It’s a 2.5 that I’m gonna round up to a 3.

I don’t think there’s a bad track on this album, but when this sound starts to lose its luster, it loses it FAST. There are some really nice tracks here, but by the end, too much of it just started to blend together for me. Solid instrumentation, some occasional vocal standouts, but a lot of this just feels really really paint-by-numbers to me, and not in a way that hit with my sensibilities too often. Sort of disappointing, but not bad, just… plain.

I would just never listen to this type of stuff... I give it 2 stars just because it's not as bad as 90s pop

Sometimes the 80s were great. Sadly, this was dirge.

13-in-a-dozen, rock by numbers

I actually kinda like the smooth 80s pop numbers, but the twangier tracks with slide guitars and harmonicas that dominate the album just aren't for me.

Oh wow, the artwork screams of 80s clichés! Curious what'll happen when she pushes the button on her belly.

I don't recall hearing Bonnie Raitt before, she seems a good Country singer, with a fine head of hair, but this album wasn't for me.

Wow, this album I have never heard of in my life sure does have a lot of accolades, huh? Guess we'll see if it lives up to it all, but I have a sneaking suspicion it won't.

It indeed did not, but it wasn't the worst thing in the world. Perhaps on a bad day this would be getting a one star, but I didn’t particularly hate anything, and the rest of the album was so nothing for me that the bluesy sounding song, a genre I generally don't like, was actually pretty alright. No clue why this is deemed so important in the world of music though, and that first song reeks of 80s, but not in the good way like new wave, but in the bad way, like "oh this is why music changed so much in the 90s".

Easy listening album, great vocals, gets a 3.

Nää. En dålig kopia av Dolly Parton? Då åker sågen fram!
