The Band (studio album) by The Band

A well-produced and well performed album of quirky pseudo-mainstream songs. 9/10.

This type of music is not really my cup of tea. Highlights for me were Jawbone and Across The Great Divide.

Completely agree with Untitled’s review below.

This record has some outstanding musical moments and might be superior to their debut in terms of the depth of their instrumentation but it just isn't as consistent or cohesive. There are only 5 or 6 songs that are really worth listening to with 4 of them being elite. These 4 songs are The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down, Up On Cripple Creek and the opening and closing tracks. The rest of the songs you could argue are skippable and while some will appeal to you the rest will just feel a bit empty. Overall, they aren't as consistent or focused on here as they are on their debut but there is some beautiful instrumental work so it is well worth a listen.

Want to transport yourself to another era? Listen to this album. It is so quintessentially Americana and evokes feelings of nostalgia. Absolutely joyous and one of my favorites. 100/100.

There are some decent tracks like The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down, but overall Music From Big Pink is much better and most of the tracks doesn't even come close.

There are some terrific tracks and musical moments, but we know that Pink Pink is just more composed and better structured.

great music

One of the most essential albums. Every music lover should give this a try no matter which genre is your favorite.

Delícia de álbum. Dá para ouvi-lo várias e várias vezes. Percebi várias coisas que seriam incorporados no soft rock vindouro.
