Incredible guitar work. Layla has gotta be up there as one of the greatest songs ever.

Very chill stuff with a nice variety of sounds and textures.

I only knew the title track, which is excellent and epic, but the first half of the album is great too! It’s the good kind of “psychedelic” that isn’t just reverb and harpsichords.

Every song is just slow moaning with a bunch of reverb. You can tell the album was recorded very well, but it’s just wasted on this.

This is exactly what I want from jazz. Perfect balance of written riffs and improvisation, with a variety of instruments features across the tracks.

It really feels like this dude is pushing as hard as possible to sing with the most obnoxious London accent possible. That aside, it’s pretty good variety of sounds that form a coherent album of songs.

Honestly liked this more than Pet Sounds. The production sounds less muddy because there’s like 1 layer less of overdubs.

Great sound. The piano, bass, and guitar all work flawlessly together. The songs just last way too long and get so repetitive.

This guy’s voice is pretty whack. Sounds like John Daker at times.

Great sound, great voice, just gets a bit repetitive, even despite its short runtime.

“Imagine” is one of the most beautiful songs ever written, and if you think it’s naïve, you’re wrong and an ass. But it’s not enough to save the album. Half the songs go on for way too long and the album leaves you wanting for some of that signature Lennon non sequitur.

The blend of pop music with South Asian sounds was pretty interesting, but nothing really stuck with me.

All the songs kinda blended together.

If you like the whole 80s vibe, you’ll love this, but there’s really nothing of substance here.

Pretty generic rock. Absolutely crazy that people put this band on the same level as The Beatles.

None of the songs really stand out on their own, but as a collective unit, it is a beautiful saga, with intimate instrumentation and soulful performance.

I only knew Bad Brains as punk. Didn’t realize they started doing crossover/metal stuff. Would have been way better with a different vocalist.

Most of the songs sound like a kid playing on a Casio keyboard. There’s one cool kinda industrial metal-ish song, but it lasts for about 30 seconds.

I love Dr. John’s hits, but this album is just ass. Most of the tracks are more like chants than actual songs, and the recording sounds like pure crap.

Pretty chill as background music, but nothing here that really demands your attention. The first track is a nice combination of jazz and blues.
