Smooth

Heavy vibes. Funny that I got it right after Fairport Convention. Dope album cover too.

Minstrelsy good fun

Some of this goes hard, but it’s too long and a lot of it is cringe.

Way more interesting than I expected.

Really happy this is on here though I don’t like it quite as much as the follow up, Magdalene.

I like this record. But not quite as much as the other one I’ve heard on here.

Points for creativity but a lot of this was tough to listen to. Reminds me of something I might’ve made in high school before learning that less is more. A few of the tracks are very interesting and cool, though. A very tough album to rate. And one I’ll likely revisit.

“I love you first four Black Sabbath records.” This is actually my least favorite of the four but it’s still amazingly wonderful.

Cool vibes. Inventive approach to songwriting. I sense some influence from David Eugene Edwards. I enjoyed this but git a bit bored toward the end.

Still not my all time favorite Prince record, but a masterpiece nonetheless.

Masterful funk, soul, and R&B with poignant lyrics.

Reading the other reviews I realize how problematic this is from an appropriation standpoint but it’s still a uniquely interesting pastiche of musical styles. I’m torn.

The hits are great but there’s a lot of nonsense in between.

Lots of cool imagery in some of these songs but a bit too much Dylan for me in one installment.

As pedestrian and generic as rock gets.

The singles are all amazing but while the album tracks have some cool lyrical moments, they’re largely forgettable and often sound like second rate Wu Tang.

Brilliant but gets a bit tedious.

Even better than the other Johnny Cash prison album on here.

I appreciate the experimental nature of this but it’s a tough listen. Tracks 3 and 4 are good tunes, though. I always liked the Nirvana cover of the latter.
