I swear to god this is trolling, it’s the same drum track looped over whimsical tunes that would not be out of place in a nature doco, this would fit perfectly as hold music for a big corporation. I skipped basically all the tracks and couldn’t finish it

Very solid rock album, good riffs, but probably won’t be returning too soon

Very good album, little Richard has an amazing voice, what holds this album back though is how similar a lot of the records sound to each other, some have the same opening piano riffs and most have a very similar musical formula

Amazing vocals from the man himself, starts off more uptempo and slows down as the album progresses but that doesn’t diminish it at all, it’s a very satisfying listening experience

Some skips, but overall a fun sounding album with some really good songs on it

Very funky soulful record, no real standouts however but quite nice to listen to

One of the OG punk albums and it’s quite good, has 2 of the most quintessential punk songs of all time with anarchy and good save the queen, the other songs are also very fun, production definitely suits the songs making this a very fun listening experience.

Didn’t realise this was the album that had under my thumb on it, definitely the highlight of the album. The rest wasn’t too bad nothing to right home about, still a fun listening experience

Not really memorable in my opinion, song writing not as captivating as blue, maybe a little insulting to say but kinda feels like background music

Pretty easy to listen to, but didn’t really blow me away

Not a bad album, interesting to listen to and see how this is very much the progenitor of punk, quite ballsy to have your debut album be a live album which definitely helps with the raw aesthetic they were obviously going for

I guess I’m not a Bruce Springsteen fan, it’s just a boring album to me, nothing much going on second half of the album I just started skipping songs hoping something would pique my interest. Nothing did unfortunately

Quite a few songs on this that I come back too regularly, Twist of fate is one of my favourite dylan songs, another record I get the chance to listen to on vinyl, looking at the backstory and realising this was heavily inspired by the breakdown of his marriage makes this quite an emotional masterpiece.

Strange but super interesting to listen to, after hearing about this band and a certain album that was made I thought all of it would be unlistenable, however this was actually quite fun

Quite an interesting record, obviously has some big hits on it, and there is no denying that the trio are incredible musicians, but to me I don’t get as much enjoyment out of it as other bands of the period.

Started off interesting then it kinda became generic, probably won’t revisit anytime soon

Really enjoyed listening to this, held back by some production and musical choices that date the album but in other instances those choices really enhance and make some songs timeless. Some quite good deep cuts on this album that make this an overall fun listen and didn’t feel the need to skip songs

The hits are undeniable, in saying that some of the deep cuts on the album are quite a chore to get through and really break up the enjoyment of the album and make it hard to listen to as a whole project and had to use the weekend to listen to it. Again the hits are what save this album from being rated lower, I might come back to this later in life and enjoy it more but right now not so much

Good flow and the production is very nice, good for my rap lore, but don’t feel the need to go right back to it like some other records

It’s Marvin Gaye so it’s going to sound great. In saying that I don’t think it’s as ground breaking as his other big albums, it feels very samesy throughout and knowing the backstory feels like should I be listening to it
