i can see why these weren’t put on folklore lmao

damn near a 1 star bc i can’t stand that willow song after working in retail

even for the standard of 1965 the mixing is terrible

2 stars for maps and the cover art being kinda cool

never been the biggest fan of blondie, but this is a decent album. some of their best songs on here, but overall it felt middle of the road

am i crazy or are some of these songs at the beginning anti-immigrant ??

overall, pretty decent. never been a huge fan of morrissey’s bland vocals, but the music itself is very good

eh

nothing special, but a relaxing listen

one of my favorite johnny cash albums.

no thanks

really enjoyed this. need to get it on vinyl since streaming services don’t have it for whatever reason

if there’s one thing this journey has taught me, it’s that i really don’t like electronic music

i enjoyed this more than the other new wave albums i’ve listened to, so i guess that’s something. nothing really stood out to me though

This takes me back to the Beatles phase I went through in high school.

The one fun fact I feel obligated to share is that “Why Don’t We Do It In the Road?” was written by Paul during the band’s trip to India. He wrote the song after seeing two monkeys having sex in the middle of the street

This album was made when tensions in the group were at an all time high, and it shows in how scattered the songs feel. Some of their best work is on this album, as well as their worst. But somehow, they manage to make it work.

enjoyed this a lot more than i was expecting, really cool acapella album

loved all the different harmonies/sounds she used.

pretty decent

a perfectly fine album, but nothing i’d revisit in full

a really really strong debut, heaven and las vegas clears for me personally but this is a strong offering

much like the donovan album, i don’t care for the “renaissance faire” sound that this has. a wholly inoffensive yet unremarkable album, middle of the road for me.

starts out really strong, but fades in the back half. still a good project and worth the listen
