I have mixed feelings about this. It's sometimes very sad and effective, but I often feel like it's put on, a display to the listener. That is a major turn off in folk music to me, where I am typically ok with the trade off of originality for sincerity. I don't think he thinks of himself as a "bad man", and it does sound winy, and I'm annoyed by the pity party. But at times there is beauty, there is sincerity, and there is a kernel of an idea and in the end I am moved by it, even if that's by anger or by trickery.

It's pretty charming, and quite soulful (duh) and I get the record. It's enjoyable, it does feel very unique to him, my main gripe would be that it does tend to be repetitive, probably because his sound is so remarkable that it does color everything he does. It's not a bad thing necessarily, but it does feel like I heard 12 times the same song, and that is a bit too much

It shows promise, some songs are dynamite, but over all I do feel underwhelmed by this one. There is not rhe wow effect I have come to expect from them. They do sound a lot alike on this record, and their later stuff is very similar just more well crafted and more indisputable.

Interesting album, not sure I love all of it cause it is extremely 80's coded, and some of the synth work (like on all Through the Night) is ridiculous and crazy. But I don't mind it all that much, what I do mind more is that the second half is not as good as the first.

So annoying, its crazy. Almost the same note every song, and sounding so fucking old its absurd. No

I don't understand why I have to listen to this U2 cover band, Bittersweet symphony carries this star, cause the rest is garbage.

In terms of a live album, its great, the crowd is engaged, and the energy is there. I just think its too short, and a bit repetitive

Often, as standalone tracks, there are diamonds here, like tiny dancer. However, as an album, I dint get the logic or the point of view, and some songs are a bit egregious like Indian sunset. He sure can sing and play piano, its not horrible by any means, but not a must listen

I dont have the vision on this. Its not horrible, but it is pretty boring, and didn't really move me in any direction. It does not have lots to say, or a distinctive sound, I'm quite confused

Beautiful harmonies, it's three greats coming together and making angelic music. I love Linda and Emmylou, and I know that Dolly's passing yesterday has me quite emotional, but man will I miss her light. You were beautiful, and loved.

It's more interesting than likeable, I cant tell by the way the novelty wares off. The effect of mixing "latin" music and electronic works with the first listen, but even as you pay through the record it is less and less grabbing me, and the songs are quite long. It didn't make me feel a lot of things, but it is quite well made and I was ok with it

I debated a bit what score to give this album, cause one hand it's quite short, and the sound of it is so coherent it does feel a bit repetitive after multiple listens. But on the other hand, I did spend all day vibing with the Go-Go's, it is so catchy, with zero filler or meh songs. I thinks it has energy, ambition, some of the lyrics are quite funny, and at the end of the day I really loved it. They are quite helped by being in a lane with few competitors, and therefore they stand out a lot, and with this being a debut album, I'll just give in to the fun ride

The well known tracks are good, but even then I struggle a bit to carve their lane that would justify a placement here. Its not bad by any means, but it sounds like a tone of other bands and I didn't see much to set them appart from other dad rock. They however probably influenced other bands, so I won't be too harsh

There are some interesting stuff, but the longer song tend to cross the line to annoying territory, and the pay off is not always there.

I like the point of view, I like what they say, and I like some songs like Typical Girls for example. I don't believe everything is gold musically, but it's important and it is also not as bad as some people say.

Quite impressive, very diverse and quite visionary. It blends so many genre that it is a bit confusing at times, but it still glides trough quite elegantly for me. Loved especially the feminism angle that feels quite modern. But the thing I'm suprised most is how people were surprised about our bisexuality, Emmie is right there and it's quite cool !

I found it quite difficult to wrap my head around. On one hand, it's kind of boring, I don't want Springsteen and his gorgeous voice making low key music, but it does sound different and honest for him. I think if it were a not a so well known artist, this would have faded in oblivion, and I can see pretentious poser being all over it, but for myself I desired a lot more and I didn't vibe. The harmonica everywhere doesn't help, but I guess I have more faith that Bruce can make very impactful music and the scale here feels very drowed out. In the end I went with a 2 cause I think he can and already had done much better project.

It is a bit too coherent to truly be great in my eyes, like not enough things dared, but at the same time it is mu inderstanding that it is genre defining. Some songs run a bit long, and they are not all great, on a 8 track album it can be a bit much. Overall, I was interested

Quite impressed by the modernism of this project, it definetly as vision, impact and point of view. I just think Frankie is just a slog that drags the records, and without it, its only very loosely an album.

No thanks, hate this. Music for outlet malls by shitty Coldplay the band
