"A very obscure album for McCartney standards. Overall is good with some good tracks and some less interesting ones. I can't help to think that it would be really good if the tracklist was cut from 16 to 10 or 11 tracks. Albums got really long in the cd era and I don't think that was a good thing ...""A very obscure album for McCartney standards.
Overall is good with some good tracks and some less interesting ones. I can't help to think that it would be really good if the tracklist was cut from 16 to 10 or 11 tracks. Albums got really long in the cd era and I don't think that was a good thing at all.
My personal favourites are Heather and Rinse the raindrops."[+]Reply
"Compare this to Hotter than July. Which is better? July. But they aren't much different. This has great vibes throughout, not a bad/unlistenable song. You can absolutely listen to this as an album. Overjoyed could be in his top 3 of sweet songs not falling over into sappiness, and Wonder has a lo...""Compare this to Hotter than July. Which is better? July. But they aren't much different. This has great vibes throughout, not a bad/unlistenable song. You can absolutely listen to this as an album. Overjoyed could be in his top 3 of sweet songs not falling over into sappiness, and Wonder has a lot of attempts at that throughout the years. When I can associate a part of my life with an album that's a good sign. I feel like the negative ratings come from judging against his golden period, this isn't that, but it is a really good album that should be in the top 3000 overall, not just in the top 3000 of the 80s."[+]Reply
"Magnificent jazz from start to finish on this one. With the possible exception of Coltrane, this is proably my favorite tenor album of all time. The ensemble, while not household names, fit perfectly as well."Reply

When I hear it, it's as real and tangible as that pond on the desert's horizon. And when the album ends, its as gone as ... well, that damn pond. Anyway, shitty attempts at poetic metaphor aside, this is a strangely gauzy, smoky, ethereal album that flows effortlessly and then ends and leaves me feeling like I just had a beautiful dream but can't remember for the life of me what that dream entailed.)
This album is all over the fucking place. In a good way. The mix of dreamy pop soundscapes and experimental and jarring explosions just keeps me on my toes. The melodies and pop parts are pretty sick, the psychedelic bits are also consistently out of this world.
As happens with a lot of these types of surreal noise pop/neo-psychedelic albums, when ever I finish hearing this album I forget almost entirely every aspect of the album. Instead of clear ideas on what I justheard I tend to have a gauzy idea or conception of what the album was and how it flowed and what it was communicating. This is usually a bit of a downer, but in this case its mostly impressive. The way this albums sort of weaves these sounds in and out of each other and bridges disrelated elements with a sort of hazy smoke, the way the melodies are so sweet and bitter in the moment of listening and yet disappear as quickly as they go, its all quite impressive.
There are standout tracks and moments here, but I can't remember which even after 3 listens. The album flows so effortlessly track to track, each time I hear it I'm surprised when it ends, like "Wait, we just started! How can this be?!"
Overall, while this isn't on my Album of the Year shortlist personally, it does do things that no other album I've heard this year does better. "[+]Reply
"One of the better black metal records I've tried to endure. I actually enjoy this one quite a bit. Bathory is one of the best names in the black metal game, if you're going off of my opinion.

I actually enjoy this one quite a bit. Bathory is one of the best names in the black metal game, if you're going off of my opinion. Enter the Eternal Fire, Call from the Grave, and Massacre are all really good songs, the rest aren't very notable but still good."[+]Reply
