Reviews by monster_hunterer

Didn't recognise any of the songs and none really stood out to me.

If you're playing the flute and harpsichord in your rock album, I can't give you anything less than a 5. Those are the rules.

Enjoyed this more than Trio and I'm not a heartless monster, so it's getting a 3. Maybe because this was from the 70s whereas Trio was from the 80s it just appealed to me more? It's something about the instruments just sounding better...

Short and sweet. Not sure if he meant for the lyrics to be quite so funny, but I'm not complaining. I love weird stuff like that.

Forgot just how stacked this album is. It's one of those ones where I don't think you'll get tired of it no matter how many times you listen.

I really need to stop reading the reviews before I listen to my album. I thought the shift was gonna completely blow me away but I can kinda see how it developed into a more punk-sounding album. Loved the ambient stuff as well, but I can't see myself listening to this on my own time.

First half: 😀🕺🚣👑✨😝
Second half: 😟🌧️🧍😢🕷️😭

Perhaps this album was much needed during 2020, but 6 years on and it doesn't seem particularly relevant? I work in retail and I haven't heard a single one of these songs before, which can't be good. Plus, it sounds the same as all the other songs she's churned out in recent years. It's clearly just not my thing

Not the most exciting album, but it was quite pleasant. My brother seems to like it so it must be doing something right?

Perhaps an odd choice they'd pick this over their self titled album, however I did enjoy this.

Really enjoyable, but unfortunately I don't think this is something I'd listen to voluntarily. Still, I do think this is worthy of being on this list and I'm glad that I listened to it.

I'd heard the big songs from these guys before, but all of this album was great. I'm bound to like anything with an instrumental, and for once I even enjoyed the singing.

Surprisingly enjoyed this. I don't listen to enough nu metal to tell you if this is a bit generic or not, but I suppose that's why I'm listening to all these albums so I can figure out what I like.

To begin with, I love the instrumentation in this. This would've been a great instrumental album considering I loved the few instrumental tracks on it. However, John Pogue or whatever his name is decided he wanted to sing over this wonderful music, which really ruined my enjoyment of it. Struggled between giving it a 2 or a 3, but I might have to go with a 2 just because there's only 2 songs I actually enjoyed.

They're really putting anything in the National Recording Registry, huh?

Would've been a 2 but Octopus's Garden saved it

I can't stand this way of singing that just sounds like constant rambling, and every song managed to find another way to annoy me on top of that. Like the other album I got from Fiona Apple, it would be ok if it was more instrumental, but there's no way I can just ignore the vocals on this.

Somewhere around halfway through the album I just forgot I had it on. Not particularly interesting, but not devastatingly bad either, just not interesting.

I have to say, I was disappointed when I saw I had to listen to a Stones double album, but this wasn't that bad. It wasn't exactly great either, but I found myself enjoying more of it than the previous Rolling Stones albums. The saxophone was a nice addition as well.

Couldn't decide between a 4 or a 5 for this. I did really enjoy it, but I might need another listen later on.
