I mean, c’mon!! So good!

Didn’t hate it. But the songs started to really blend together by the end.

I’ve listened to My Bloody Valentine before and it’s definitely one of those things you have to be in the mood for. I was in the mood for this today.

Rockin’ album

I was pleasantly surprised by this album. I dug the music. But the lyrics were meh. 3.25/5

3.50/5

This is definitely an acquired taste thing. But the energy on this album is undeniable.

Eh. I dig CCR for what they are. But this is middle of the road, playing it safe rock.

I listened to this album a lot when it dropped. But this was probably my first full listen in 20 years. Amy’s vocal prowess is undeniable, and they definitely capture that Motown sound with an updated twist. But with all that said, it was not slapping for me the way I thought it would. The single tracks, Tears Dry on Their Own, Back to Black, and Rehab all are phenomenal and everything else was pretty good. Going 3.50/5.

Too many unoriginal covers to call this a great album.

I know Sinatra is supposed to be timeless, classic music. But after three albums of Sinatra on this list, I think I can definitively say I do not like his music. Sorry. So boring and I do not heard anything special in his voice. Sounds like a person having a conversation and they draw out or accentuate on certain words to make it sound like singing. And while the players on this album are surely top tier musicians, musically, each song sounds like the next. This just isn’t for me. Would be lovely to have on the background at a dinner party. But that’s about it.

Man, these lyrics are interesting. They’re metaphorical at times, but they all sound like sexual innuendos. The production and music was clean, even though there was a lot of 80’s cheese on this one.

This was solid background music while I worked. While most of the songs didn’t grab me, the particular song, “Rise”, did grab me for some reason. 2.75

Wasn’t bad. But there’s better in Elvis’ discography. 2.75

Love the Beach Boys 70’s discography

The music was quite enjoyable. But the vocals just did not fit well throughout this album.

For ‘89, I can see why this was held in high regards. Definitely influenced a lot of Nu Metal. But this is pretty cringe and didn’t age well, imo. Enjoyed some tracks, but would not listen to the album in full multiple times.

I hate to admit it…but I enjoyed more than a couple of songs here

I was sleeping on Tori Amos. Really good album. I love an album that is metaphorical but also easy to understand.

Easy
