Every song hits the same slow, soulful tone. Would have liked a couple more funky, upbeat songs thrown in to add some variety.

Was really excited when I read about the concept of the album, but it ends up just being pretty meh.

This is so much worse than I thought it would be. It’s got the wimpiest, flattest mixing, but the dude is doing his best Prince imitation with horrible, screeching vocals.

Forgettable. Boring. Generic. So many albums that sound just like this on this list.

Too many long, slow instrumental sections. Wish you Were Here is a good song, but also the only one that’s way too short.

Alright, who was gonna tell me that Zep’s best song was a random deep cut from Physical Graffiti called “In The Light”? Great variety of songs compared to some of the earlier Zeppelin albums.

Man, who listens to this?

“My favorite genre of music is when it sounds like no one cares about what they’re playing,” said no one, ever.

Never really understood the “punk” classification of this band. This album is 100% Irish folk, and it’s totally awesome. Great songs.

Radiohead and its consequences have been a complete disaster for the music industry.

Great songs, great voice, classic soul sound. Not much to dislike here.

Pleasantly surprised by this! Lovely songs, very well produced. Definitely has me interested to hear more Bee Gees

The only good part of the album is when they rip off Lady Marmalade for one line.

So many riffs! And so many unique chord progressions. Every new section of each song was like a nice surprise.

Just like the last OutKast album we listened to, this is way too long. Cut out the skits and interludes (BREAK), and cut 1 or 2 songs and you’d have a great album. As it stands, mid

Liked this much better than the other Prince we listened to so far. Purple Rain is a perfectly epic album closer, and the initial run of songs kicks the album off with high energy.

These guys wanna be the Beatles so bad.

Some nice, folk-inspired indie tunes, with some unique sounds thrown in. Chill vibe.

I didn’t like the mix on this at all. It sounded so thin, like it was ran through an AM radio. Songs were all pretty forgettable, besides Close To You, which I heard everywhere growing up. The 70s were such a strange time for pop music.

I understand what they were trying to do with the 2 sides of the record contrasting in style, but I think this is one of those rare records that should be listened to on SHUFFLE. Hearing the snippets of rock songs in between the long ambient tunes would give the album a nice flow from song to song. “Alluring” is the best word I can use to describe this one.
