Wtf?

Sensational swamp songs.

It's fine but it's not even the best Simon & Garfunkel album from 1966 so I'm not sure how important it was to hear this before I die.

Pleasantly surprised by this (other than "Don't" which is god awful) considering I've never even heard of them before. I would probably give it a 3.5 which I would have rounded to 4 if not for "Don't" offending my ears so badly that they lose a point.

El Sgt. Pepperino

Overrated

Dis-go hard

I recognise so many of these songs from movies and TV that it felt like I'd already listened to the album. Doesn't really make me want to check out Moby any further but I enjoyed this for what it was.

Yer twisting ma lemon, man

Better than I expected for a live album.

Background music at best. I'm going to have to stop giving all jazz a 3 because it's becoming very boring. There is far too much jazz on this list. Listening to one jazz album basically means you've heard them all.

I listened to this album a bunch of times when I was obsessed with Swing/Jazz in my teens. I loved it back then. Frank has a great voice and there are a lot of good songs here, but it definitely feels a little samey throughout. It also feels a lot longer than it actually is because of the amount of songs. There isn't a bad song though. They're either okay or good. 7.5/10

Bravo, Billy.

I usually give all jazz a 3 because it all sounds the same to me and it's all okay, but this loses a point for being the length of a movie despite sounding like the same song the entire time.

Fun fact: All the members of Slipknot were in their mid to late 30s when they wrote this cringe. As usual with heavy metal, the instruments are somewhere between fine and good, but I'd honestly rather listen to an instrumental version because of just how bad the lyrics are. It would be understandable if it was a group of teenagers, but this was written by grown men. I mostly listened to this with the lyrics up on the screen and I still didn't understand what they were trying to say. It's almost like I need to know some background lore before I can understand what they're talking about.

This is quite lovely. I never knew Carole King wrote 'You Got a Friend' and 'Will You Love Me Tomorrow?' and they both appear on this album. 4.5

Not my favourite Beach Boys tracks. Some are downright awful (Student Demonstration Time). Brian Wilson died yesterday so I'll be kind and give a 3. RIP Brian.

Loved it.

Typical Jazz 3

It's pretty average but Heroes is so good that it gets an extra point.
