The Official Needles and Grooves 1001 Album Generator Project

[TenderLovingKiller®]

It's Green Day at their best as far as I'm concerned

Nah, Green Day at their best is singing about masturbation, alienation, and/or infatuation. American Idiot is fine but its not why I was listening to them as as 11 year old and not what I want from them as 41 year old..

MY OFFICE MATE IS DANCING AROUND TO THIS SHIT. @Mather how do I order a pick up?

You looking for Friends & Family, Taco Tuesday or the What The Hell Have I Done packages?

I will try to give this some time this weekend and see how I feel about the story. It was not as offensive as I thought it would be, but I'm still not real sure how I feel about it. It is definitely not as good as Dookie or the stuff that came before, but is better than Insomniac.

 

[Bohnjaggs]

I gave American Idiot another listen while I was out running today and it's still a perfect album for me. 5/5

I still don't own it on vinyl though and I'll have to fix that at some point.

Catching up with the project again. I have been listening every day, but not really had time to write anything.

This was a pretty strange, but ultimately also satisfying, week.

• Buffalo Springfield and Tom Petty are certified classics although both these albums have their flaws. Don't think I've listened to this Buffalo Springfield in full before, and I had higher expectations of it than it could deliver. Still a good album in any regard. Tom Pettys debut has its' highlights, but is a bit stale in comparison with his later work.
• I hadn't heard K.D Lang before (beyond hearing the name pop up occasionally), but I liked it. Will check out more from her for sure!
• I have a pretty hard time with 70's funk, but I enjoyed this Parliament quite a bit. Like most funk albums it gets a bit samey after a while.
• I really liked Green Day when they broke with Dookie. This one didn't really do that much for me when it came out, but listening today, I realize it's pretty good by it's own merits.

This was album #100 for my personal project.

I don't really gravitate toward vocal jazz all that much outside of Nina Simone. I can appreciate it (and do!), but I don't seek it out too often save for specific settings or company. I don't know that I've ever listened to more than the odd song here and there from Sarah Vaughan before this but this was quite a delight. Her rapport with the audience, in particular, is a treat; it feels very casual while also feeling like a formal show - a perfect atmosphere for something like this. And her voice is top notch - it's obviously no mistake that she's considered one of the greats. 5/5

Was on board until they said she was using lyric sheets. Now I'm out!

But seriously, this is the kind of album I have a hard time assigning a rating to. I can certainly appreciate it but it's not something that's in my wheelhouse. So I have a hard time discerning a good jazz vocal album from a bad one. It'd nice to listen to but it's not something I would go reaching for again.

Sarah's voice and vocal control are lovely on this. And the instrumentation / arrangements on the tracks are excellent. 5/5

I haven't had a chance to give this one as close a listen as I'd like - but feel like I can safely give it a 4/5 after playing it during a family car ride today. I could see it rising a bit with more listens, and am definitely likely to listen to it more. Feels like a very mature album from a band known for immaturity.

 

[TrainFan73]

So I didn't give comments on Green Day. I liked this a lot more than I thought I would. Even the overplayed singles worked better in context. It'll probably never be a 5 from me because it does give off hella Broadway Vibes which is not really my thing (especially modern all kind of samey broadway). Anyhow suprisingly addictive. Gave it a three.

The Vaughan is goddamn brilliant. 5

No album from Green Day will ever be a 5 for me.
For American Idiot, 3 sounds about right.

I think I could make a 5 from the releases up to Dookie.

Yeah, this is a thing. It's ubiquitous and it certainly did a lot to make electronic music a little more mainstream. I think the biggest positive for the album is that it introduced Vera Hall to a much larger audience - however the majority of that audience probably still has no idea who Vera Hall is!

The music is fine enough that I can't write off the entire album simply because Moby can be an insufferable twat

I had never listened to this album until VMP featured it but now it's one of my favorites. I'll try to listen to it today but as of now I'd probably give it a 4.
