feel like I’m on a spaceship

I’ve always wanted to listen to this album, but never did for some reason. I knew it was on this list, so I was waiting for the day to come.
Just awesome chill, smooth, laid back jazz. I can definitely see why this is a classic. It was a pleasant surprise to find out I had heard The Girl From Ipanema before.

Wtf. How is this on here? That voice is just ridiculous. It’s sad, because the music wasn’t all that bad. But with a singer like that…

When this started, I thought I hated it but I got used to the singer’s voice after a while. After that point, it became a very banging album.

It was okay. I’m not a big country fan and I also don’t really like the banjo and the slide guitar thing. Her voice is awesome tho.

I don’t know, this did not do much for me. Personal Jesus and Enjoy the Silence are awesome songs but the rest was just a bit boring and bland to me.

Honestly, this is on par with Rumours. I don’t see why this gets rated so harshly sometimes.

Reminded me a lot of Simon and Garfunkel

Awesome, very fun listen. Just a bit too long tho.

There are some okay moments on here, but most of this just is not for me. It doesn’t help either that I do not enjoy the sitar.

Not a big Aerosmith fan

I went in expecting to totally not like this, but it was better than I imagined. This just is not my style of music, but there were some moments that I really enjoyed, and there is some great musicianship on here. After a while everything just sounds the same to me tho and it kinda gets boring.
So in the end, not bad, but not something I’d return to.

I quite liked this, and that story in the top review is crazy and hilarious. Might give this another listen, but for now it is a solid 4 stars.

The opener is, of course, awesome. Everything after sounds a bit dull in comparison. Not bad, it’s like a 3.5 stars.
Unfortunately, I’ll be rounding down.

I don’t know man. Not particularly enjoyable.

Early Beatles perfection. Just great songwriting and catchy songs all round (though I must say, You Can’t Do That is a bit creepy)

This jazz album sounded a bit more energetic than some of the other jazz records I listened to before. Still, it is hard for jazz to keep me fully invested. I like it as background music, but I also think there is background music that I enjoy more than this.

I’ve heard many great things about this album so I’m a bit disappointed. I don’t really like her voice to be honest. The rest didn’t do much for me either. Maybe I need to return to this later again but right now it’s a 3.

Very solid! I can see myself returning to this.

I quite like this album when it’s firing on all cylinders: there are some really great hypnotic grooves on here. But that runtime is just ridiculous and a lot of the album is also quite boring (Adrift 😴 😴). Therefore, not something I’ll ever return to.
