Love listening to their songs from this era.

I bought a Beetle HAT, matching the Album cover

This album was released before “Let It Be,” but produced after it. As such, it is the last music the Beatles ever created, and a fitting capstone to their incomparable career.As with my other album reviews I will rate each song on a scale of 5 stars, with 5 representing a classic or timeless piece, 4 a great song, 3 a craftsman-like work, 2 a pedestrian affair, and 1 a throw away.Come Together — 5 stars – This is one of John Lennon’s great nonsense lyrics, but what raises it to the heights is the presentation, a sound that is instantly recognizable and unlike any other song you have ever heard. Thus, it is ironic that Lennon was accused of plagiarizing a Chuck Berry song. The truth is that he borrowed one phrase as homage to Berry (here comes old flat top), and nothing more. The rest is original and unique. The execution of the song, from McCartney’s bass to Ringo’s drums, shows the power of the Beatles’ ensemble to produce work that was greater than the sum of their individual contributions.Something — 5 stars – After trashing the Beatles in their early days Frank Sinatra later came to nominate this piece as his favorite love song. Sadly, he credited it to Lennon and McCartney when it is actually a Harrison composition. It is probably the best song on the album – a work of elegance, passion, and captivating musicality. It will live forever.Maxwell’s Silver Hammer — 4 stars – This is one of Paul’s “cartoon” songs. It seduces you to smile and sing along with its bizarrely cheerful dark humor, and thus wins 4 stars in spite of its meager ambitions.Oh! Darling — 4 stars – McCartney bares his heart by scorching his throat with a passionate, guttural performance. As usual you will want to sing along, but try to compete with Paul and you may pay a visit to the throat doctor.Octopus’s Garden — 4 stars – Another “cartoon” song, this one written by Ringo. Yes, it’s silly and slight, but I dare you not to sing along (and that’s my mark of a 4 star song).I Want You (She’s So Heavy) — 4 stars – The subtitle says it all – this song has a very heavy ambiance. Lennon displays his gift for combining simple components to create a work that lingers in the mind much longer than you expect.Here Comes the Sun — 5 stars – This is another Harrison work and another song that will live forever. It matches tone to theme as well as any song you will ever hear. It is a work of simple genius. Are you feeling down? Then play this song and feel your mood lift like the rising sun.Because — 4 stars – As I understand it John Lennon heard Yoko Ono play Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata backwards and John made this song out of it. It is, quite simply, beautiful.You Never Give Me Your Money — 4 stars – This would be a minor work except for its semi-biographical echoes of the Beatles’ rise and fall. Because of this it has a special poignancy to it. And once again, it will compel you to sing along.”The Final Medley”: Sun King, Mean Mr. Mustard, Polythene Pam, She Came In Through The Bathroom Window, Golden Slumbers, Carry That Weight, The End — 5 stars – These seven songlets represent the last stretch of music on the last record the Beatles ever produced. They are joined together in a seamless whole, a mini pop opera, and so I have titled the group “The Final Medley” and treat them as one composition. Taken together they are, to re-use a phrase, greater than the sum of their parts. In fact, though I hesitate to admit it, I enjoy listening to these songlets more than anything else the Beatles ever did. And so I rate them 5 stars as a group. The details . . .”Sun King” provides a nice, slow intro. “Mean Mr. Mustard” is an edgy but humorous Lennon character study. “Polythene Pam” is Lennon again. It is a hard driving piece that seems to anticipate both heavy metal and punk. It is also the one piece here that cries out for a longer treatment. “She Came in Through The Bathroom Window” is McCartney. It is probably the slightest component here and foreshadows Pauls’ work with Wings, but it fits and adds to the whole. “Golden Slumbers” is Paul again. It is heartbreakingly beautiful. “Carry That Weight” is a rousing chorus of the entire group, and seems to speak of the burden that attaches to the blessing of being a Beatle (you’re going to carry that weight for a long time boys, and so they did, and do, and will – those who still live). The End is the end and contains the verse “and in the end the love you take is equal to the love you make.” It is a fitting conclusion for a group that made so much love through their music that they earned the love of the whole world.Her Majesty — ??? stars – it is characteristic of the Beatles that they could not leave off without adding a humorous note, and this irreverent fragment of a love song to the English Queen starts playing after you think the record has finished. The Beatles were not only great composers and musicians, they were also very funny.And so we have 4 five-star songs out of 10, joined by 6 four-star songs. This is truly one of the greatest albums ever made.

“The Beatles recording journey had gone through many twists and turns, learning curves and thrilling rides. Here we were–still wondering at the magic of it all.” Paul McCartney.This is another worthwhile anniversary release of a classic Beatles album. The packaging is similar to the “Sgt. Pepper’s” and the “White Album” anniversary releases. The thick, glossy slipcase (with complete track list on the back cover) holds an equally thick hardcover book. The front and back inside covers each hold two discs, which are inside glossy cardboard jackets with a track list on the back covers.The book (with sewn in binding) has a Forward by Paul McCartney, an Introduction by Giles Martin, plus chapters by Beatles historian Ken Howlett–“The Route To Abbey Road”, “Track By Track”, “The Cover”, and “The Arrival Of Abbey Road”. David Hepworth has a chapter titled “And In The End”. The track by track text (which includes info on the “Sessions” tracks) is usually two pages for each song and is both interesting and informative. Also included are many rare photos from the sessions (including Linda McCartney’s photographs), plus repros of handwritten lyrics, recording data sheets, and tape boxes–everything adding to the feel of that time period. The presentation is up to high standards for such an important album as this.The music. Besides the 2019 mix of the original album, the session tracks too have good sound. If you’re familiar with the last reissue of this album, the sound isn’t to far from that version to my ears–everything seems to be in the right place in the mix. The 23 outtakes sound every bit as good as the album. The Blue-Ray disc is well worth having–the quality–in Dolby Atmos 5.1 master audio and High Resolution Stereo Mix–is a good addition to this set.Disc 1 is the original album which is familiar to most all of us so no real comment is needed. Discs 2 and 3 have the outtakes, and this is where the fun begins. The tracks are in chronological order which is a good thing–no guessing about the recording sequence. There’s some studio chat from the group and they sound like they’re having a good time in the studio–joking around a bit. Several of the outtakes are close to the finished songs in feel as we know them. But there’s also some goodies that make these sessions worth hearing.A few things I like: Included are takes of “I Want You (She’s So Heavy)”, “Something” (with a different feel from the tune we know), “Old Brown Shoe”, “Here Comes The Sun” (also with a different feel from the album track), “Come Together”, “Sun King”, plus a demo of “Come And Get It” (made famous by that great band Badfinger), and three instrumental tracks–which give insight into how the music came together. Also give a listen to “The Long One” which includes eight shorter songs heard on the album, which gives some perspective on the finished album. But there’s other good things included and everyone will have their own favorites–to each his own.I have to say for me that this album has always been near the top of Beatles albums. It’s the one I find myself reaching for unless I need a dose of early Beatles. The outtakes plus a really nice book with informative essays and rare photos makes this another good addition alongside the previous anniversary sets–even at ninety bucks or so–which seems a bit high. But when you slip the book out of its slipcase and see the quality, and when you hear the all the music, the price tag slips back into your head. This is a worthwhile purchase for “Abbey Road” and/ or Beatles fans in general.And for “Abbey Road” fans, check out Bruce Spizer’s latest book about “Abbey Road”. It’s similar to his other books on the “Sgt. Pepper’s” and the “White Album” releases.

This record is actually so cool and beautiful. Plays and spins well! Reputation is one of my favorite albums and this is a perfect addition!

Album was awesome, but I’ve purchased this twice and it seems like song number seven skips every time. Will repurchase someplace else. Just a problem in mass production.

Great album

Bought this as soon as she had the rights to her own music again. Love Taylor. Happy to have this in my collection. If I could give this 10 stars I would. Great album. I highly recommend.

Love it .

190gm picture discs. First of all my biggest gripe with picture discs are most come in a stupid clear plastic cover, Thanks Taylor Swift for putting them in a regular cardboard album. Next is sound floor like a wind is blowing. I know of some that do play quite, most have a wind noise and I know of one that is so bad it sounds like you are next to a fast moving river. On a scale of 0-10, 0=quite 1-9=wind noise and 10=a river, I give these a 2=slight wind noise, most I own or have played are a 3-4. These are very nice picture discs and after a good cleaning they sound freakin amazing. What a deal for 38 dollars. This is quickly becoming my favorite Taylor Swift album.

This is my favorite Taylor Swift album so finding this one for a decent price was amazing. the record came in undamaged and the pictures on the vinyls themselves are extremely clear. however, I found that on my listen mine skipped alot. most notably in delicate where it skipped for most of the song. I don’t know if I just got a bad press, because didn’t see anything about skipping in the reviews before I bought it. but the sound is very clear and it’s still enjoyable to listen to. just be prepared for a decent amount of skipping.

Works great, came on time, and in great condition.

Bought this ‘used’ but it was new just with a crack in the case

Loved the transparent green! Can’t stop listening. Also, loved that I received this 12 hours after ordering – super fast!

Granddaughters Christmas gift she wants records for her record player I bought her and she loves it

Everything was great. Speedy delivery.

One of the most beautiful green colored vinyls<3 I love Taylor swift and it comes with two to fit all of the songs and bonus songs on the album. It plays on my Victrola so nicely.

Beautiful vinyl with great sound quality. Love the album!

I wrote a highly favorable review on Ms Swift’s “folklore” album released this summer because IMHO, I felt it was the best thing she has released at least for this listener. Now she has unleashed another 17 tracks with little notice with mostly the same collaborators as with her previous album but primarily Aaron Dessner and the National being made front and center this time round.She says in the liner notes that she just couldn’t stop writing songs so this is the product of the year of the quarantine. So it is for most, a continuation of “folklore”, Part II, if you may. It does have the same vibe, perhaps a more spare production than “folklore”, but unfortunately fewer catchy songs. The themes are more limited to relationships this time. To be fair, it would be highly unlikely for any artist to write as many great songs in such a short time frame, and that includes most of my favorite artists from my youth. One problem may lie in the collaborator being Aaron Dessner and the National as I find their music suffering from somewhat a sameness, but I will be the first to admit that I am not a big fan of the band.As with other reviewers, I would agree that as a whole this is a very good album and offers some great songs such as “Champagne Problems”, “Dorothea”, “Gold Rush”, “‘Tis the Damn Season”, to name a few, but I think I was spoiled from the first listens of “folklore” and any follow up would still be ultimately somewhat of a letdown.As musical tastes are very personal, I would conclude with this – if you liked “folklore”, you will like “evermore” being the bookend album of this unprecedented year. Just don’t expect it to be the best thing you ever heard from Ms Swift.

Another stellar album of simply beautiful music from the legend Robert Plant who shares vocal duties with Suzi Dian. It is more earthy and roots based music compared to the equally brilliant “Lullaby and the Ceaseless Roar” (2014) and “Carry Fire” (2017). “Saving Grace” is similar to Plant’s two releases to date with Allison Kraus in that it is a collection of cover songs. I can’t recommend it enough and I hope that band on this album that Plant has been touring with for the past 6 years eventually tackle some original music!

Robert has often shown his appreciation for great traditional songs,and this album has introduced me to some marvelous words and tunes,realized by his tight band on some fascinating instruments, and withsuperb singing from Suzi Dian and from the great leader of this project.The nod to Donovan, another master of this sense of place and time, on”Chevrolet”, is perfect too. Absolutely terrific listening on an autumn day.

The CD has comforting smooth music, a style not many cd’s have in my cd collection. I saw the CD listed by Robert Plant on a CBS Stephen Colbert late night show in November, 2025. I like it very much!

Good album from a great artist

Wonderful album. Exquisite even. This record is beautifully recorded, songs all beautifully played and arranged and Robert Plant’s voice is magical and beautiful. I’ve had it 2 days and have listened to it about 6 times already. Love the instrumentation throughout this record. There is a lot of depth here.

Incredible album Robert Plant is a music legend he is in his late 70s and is still coming up with incredible music working with different musicians year after year. This album is really wonderful if you like Robert Plant you need to get this.

My first copy was distorted. I used two different stylus (carts). I sent that one back and received the next one promptly. I am listening to on headphones now and this copy has no distortion. Thank you Amazon for your wonderful service. I was surprised because Nonesuch records usually sound great. Plant still has it – love the direction he takes with mixing so many genres.

I put this on early in the morning, it’s beautiful.

This man did indeed die too young, tragically, he drowned in a swimming accident shortly after this album was released. But, this one work, is so transcendent that it deserves a place in the collection of anyone who truly loves music and understands its ability to move one’s soul and emotions beyond the mundane life that one ordinarily lives. Every song on this album is a true gem which becomes more beautiful with each listening, as one is able to hear it more clearly, applying the jewelers loupe of one’s ears to catch each nuance.I hardly know where to begin, so I’ll start with the song that is my favorite on this album: a song which is rapidly becoming one of my favorites of all the music I’ve ever listened to – ‘Hallelujah’, written by Leonerd Cohen some time ago. I first heard this tune as part of the soundtrack of ‘The Lord of War’ The opening sound one hears is of Jeff sighing deeply before starting to sing with only an unaccompanied acoustic guitar melody that can only be described as haunting in its simplicity. The first words of the song:Well, I heard there was a secret chordThat David played and it pleased the LORDBut, you don’t really care for music, do ya?Well, it goes like this, the fourth, the fifthThe minor fall and the major liftThe baffled King composing, HallelujahHallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujahThe religious references simply drip from this song as the acoustic guitar continues to echo in the background.From its overtly religious beginning the song moves into the story of a broken relationship with a lover who meant more than anyone in the singer’s life. The heartbreak is so evident that he who can listen to this song without shedding at least a tear or two has no humanity left within him:Well, baby I’ve been here beforeI’ve seen this room and I’ve walked this floorYa know, I used to live alone before I knew yaAnd I’ve seen your flag on the marble archOur love is not a victory marchIt’s a cold and it’s a broken hallelujahHallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujahWell, there was a time when you let me knowWhat’s really going on belowBut now you never show that do me. Do ya?But remember when I moved in youAnd the holy dove was moving, tooand every breath we drew was hallelujahHallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujahMaybe there’s a God aboveBut, all I’ve ever learned from lovewas how to shoot somebody who outdrew yaAnd it’s not a cry that you hear at nightIt’s not somebody who’s seen the lightIt’s a cold and it’s a broken hallelujahHallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujahHallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujahHallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujahThis album is worth the price simply for this one song. But, the thing is that there are no weak songs on this CD, making it a bargain at any price. Beyond that, though, this is the type of thoughtful, caring, and insightful music upon which no price can really be placed: it is priceless, timeless. Jeff Buckley obviously made this album for the sheer love of his art. The craftsmanship and effort of the making shows through every note and line, every word, and every thought.

Buckley’s voice is emotional and powerful. One of the best albums recorded start to finish.

What else needs to be said about Jeff Buckley’s recording of Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah”? Compelling lyrics, dramatic melody, outstanding vocal. That territory has been covered. But last year, an American Idol contestant sang it, and the Earth moved. All of a sudden, everyone remembered, or discovered, who Jeff Buckley was. But what about the rest of the album? I wasn’t sure, but I got a clue when, this year, Adam Lambert’s riveting Idol performance of “Ring Of Fire” was described as how Jeff Buckley would have done it. That was enough for me, so I bought the album.Where to start? Buckley’s vocals on this 10-track album range from ethereal and fragile to hard rock, roaming unfettered up and down the scale, all over the place, in every style. The music backing the vocals is just as varied. But more than that, there is the range of emotion expressed. On “Mojo Pin”, in a delicate, nearly feminine voice, Jeff is in despair: “…if only you’d come back to me…”, he sings, backed by music with, first, a jazz flavor, then, Led Zeppelin rock. The title song has a more straightforward folk-rock feel, and the vocal ends by being raw and intense. “Last Goodbye” is another song about a dying relationship, with a touch of an East Indian influence; and you can hear this more strongly in “Dream Brother” – trance-inducing guitar, droning melody. “Lilac Wine” is a soft, uncomplicated track paradoxically about confusion and uncertainty. With “So Real”, we are back to jazz, loaded with chord, tempo and genre changes; and I get the impression that the experience described might have been a little TOO real. “Lover, You Should’ve Come Over” is a slow, steady folk/blues track, and, as the title suggests, the singer is longing for his lover to appear. On “Corpus Christi Carol”, Jeff sounds like a member of the Vienna Boys’ Choir as he sings an acoustic-backed, hymn-like song. In a complete reversal, “Eternal Life”, despite the title, has killer grunge-rock music with hard-edged lyrics and very earthy delivery.So, why does this album remain so fascinating 15 years after its release, 12 years after Jeff’s untimely death? Besides the obvious talent, his fixation on romantic love – the driving force of the album – makes him a very alluring figure. This, coupled with the dreamlike atmosphere of the tracks, gives him an elusive quality. You want to grasp who and what he is, but you can’t, not really. Who knew that such a debut would also be the finale? What could this young man have accomplished if he had lived longer? Sudden tragic deaths, like Jeff’s and that of actress Natasha Richardson last week, leave me with an uneasy feeling, a feeling that there is unfinished business. Well, maybe in the next life?

Unique album – really amazing

I just recently read the bio of Jeff and his father Tim called DREAM BROTHER: The Lives & Music of Jeff & Tim Buckley. I waited until I finished the book to listen to Jeff’s only album GRACE. I can`t begin to tell you how great it is. That voice! It draws you from the first note in the first song to the last note in the last song. Tim’s songs I really don`t care for very much. But I will try to get back to him. Every song on Jeff’s album is wonderful. Don`t hesitate to buy it!!

I love Jeff Buckley and I listen to him 24/7, so I decided to buy the CD so I could listen to it in my car. Only problem is the CD version doesn’t have “forget her” which is one of my favorite songs. If you go to the album on Spotify though you can listen to it.

EVERY single song on this album is amazing. One of my favorite albums of all time forsure.

A true test of any hive system. Superb, Bravo.

I love this cd! it wasnt damaged at all, it was in perfect condition. it plays perfectly. its been months since i got it and it still works perfectly, and the packaging was nice! it didnt come with any scratches either. songs fit my grungy aesthetic lol

An excellent quality album from a great band. Two disc sleeves, both of which have art on them, and they are wonderful. Sound quality was excellent and so was the packaging it came in

Commenting on the vinyl itself, sounds fantastic! Drums, bass, guitars, Alex’s vocals, all sound nicely spaced out and clear, not clustered like some other “rock” records. One of the best sounding vinyls I own for sure. A+++++++++

Arctic Monkeys CD AM is by far a style of music that makes you feel like groving on the dance floor or relaxing inside your house or for meditation after a long day at work or stressful day in general. I did notice while listening to the CD that eight songs were in the three to four minute range, one song was roughly about two and half minutes long, while the other three songs were in the four to five minute range. Now I will take it song by song for those out in the world who like to know what they are getting into. Do I wanna Know? is a great opener with a soft sensual voice that makes you want to make out with your girlfriend or wife while also having a good beat to the lyrics. R U Mine? Is an another good song featuring great lryics that makes you want to get on dance floor and groove to the beats. One for the Road a song with lryics that makes you want to hit on a lady while at the club or bar and ask her if she would like a free drink before heading out on the road. AraBella is a song with good guitar riffs mixed with the singers amazing vocals. I want it All is a song with lyrics wise exactly how most of the humans feel about “wanting it all.” NO. 1 Party Anthem is a slower song featuring lyrics that make you feel like slow dancing with the love of your life. Mad Sounds another slow song that you just feel like relaxing or meditation as you listen to it. Fireside good song with killer beat and good lyrics about hiding secrets and what it cost you because sometimes it feels like your losing the fight. Why’d you only call me when you’re High? Funny song title with even funnier lyrics because we all know someone in our lives that fits this song and it’s lyrics. Snap Out of It is a song about falling in love and your buddy wanting to shake you out of it and by doing so “snap out of it.” Knee Socks is another good beat song about a common item everyone wears around the house listen to lyrics might even laugh some like I did at particular lines in the song. I wanna be Yours is the last song on the album and is a good closing song because in our lives we all have someone we desire to be theirs at some point in our lives. In closing I can honesty say this is one of the better CD’s I have heard in a long time and one of best in my collection of music CD’s.

Album was in the sleeve. Yay?I guess I’m supposed to review the band, but…weird.

It’s a great record for anyone who loves the artist. The sound is great and the record is pretty durable. It’s a great addition to the vinyl collection. The price is a great for a record and a group that’s newer.

This album– wow. I had never even heard of the Monkeys until about a week before i bought this, and boy they do not dissapoint…Let me try to give you a feel for if you’ll enjoy the album by explaining my musical tastes…. I’m very into classic rock. I’m a musician, and i like the complexity of that style. As a result i’m not so much into the newer punk and even indie rock. It’s okay but i guess to listen to the songs more than a few times i cant help but become a little bored by the the exact same predictable 4 four chords and all the instrumentation is 8th note power chords on a cheap electric guitar. For an entire album.I LISTEN TO THESE SONGS OVER AND OVER. The Arctic Monkeys do NOT bore me. This album does NOT have the short shelflife of a couple hits on the radio nowadays. Nearly every single song on this album is fantastic, instead of the four “okay” songs at the beginning and then filler for the rest of the album. This album is filled with meat, and you definitely get your money’s worth.Now the musical style, it definitely has taken a big step away from the more ’00’s sounding punk of their first two albums, so if that is your style you may not like the album as much. People have said this album takes a lot of influence from R and B. If you’re worried about it being onef those sort-of-rock-songs with someone rapping over it, don’t be alarmed. I, on a personal note, do not really like rap or hip hop at all (i know, born in the wrong generation), and i ADORED the musical style of this album. it was more a fusion of the Black Keys than of rap though. More blues than hip hop. if you like the Keys i think you’ll like this. I love the blues and I loved the style of this album.Overall, incredible album! Blah, blah, faith in my generations music restored…. all that stuffFAVORITE SONGS: Arabella! R u mine! no 1 party anthem!THANKS LOVES ;D

Sounds so good and the cover picture looks beautiful. Came in perfect condition.

This album was my 1st LP choice for my new turn table. It is just what I wanted and the sound is amazing too! I’m very happy with this choice. Also it was packaged with care. I appreciated that as well.

Nice selection of Fleetwood Mac’s hits!

Nice CD. Plays very smoothly with no skips. Very clear music and dialogue. No static. Satisfied!

My dream vinyl ???? my husband bought this for me as a birthday present and I LOVE it! no scratches and it perfect condition! A must have for any record collector!

Amazing quality and so much fun to listen to,

Fleetwood Mac is a fabulous group. Buy this album.

Fleetwood Mac’s Greatest Hits – iconic! So many amazing songs all in one place. The pressing sounds great too, clear with no noticeable issues. it’s just one of those records you need in your collection.

One of the best albums of the last three years . Amazing edition ! Came in very good condition.

Llego en perfecto estado

Great album. Arrived in perfect condition.

What a great release from this iconic Rock and Roll Hall of Fame band this late in their career. With other older bands just doing the oldies circuit with no new music, Cheap Trick are one of the few bands that continue to amaze us. All Washed Up is totally energized and is amazing from the first song to the last. The last song Wham Boom Bang in particular is a total surprise in the likes that they have never done before. Reminds me of their 1st album going on all cylinders. The few slower ballads are top notch. The Beatles have always been in their wheelhouse and it shows. The writing and musicianship on All Washed Up is at the top of the band’s game. Due yourself a favor and buy this release. You will not be disappointed.

After nearly fifty years since their debut album, it’s astounding to hear that Robin’s voice hasn’t lost a thing. This new batch of songs sounds like it could have been recorded during their classic period in the late 70’s. This album contains all of the high energy, hard rocking, zany, wonderful hooks you would expect from a Cheap Trick record, reminding the listener why they are one of, if not the greatest, bands of all time.

Great album by a great band. How Robin Zander sounds as good as did on their first album is amazing. This is one artist that doesn’t have to mime to backing tracks ( Kiss , Motley Crue) or whose voice is shot (Axl Rose). How this band isn’t in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is a tragedy.

Just Classic Cheap Trick. This band just continues to release absolutely incredible music. This album has it all. Fantastic song writing and the classic riffs that we all love. Thank you guys for 50 great years and I hope there are many more for this amazing band.

Cheap Trick’s 21st album, I think, is absolutely excellent from the standpoint of the fact that it contains stellar songs that, once again, gloriously channel their classic period. Robin Zander’s voice is seemingly timeless and inexhaustible and the entire band sounds inspired, vibrant, and still absolutely relevant after 5 decades of doing this. The issue is the “full on” brickwalled sound that has no separation between instruments, no air to breathe, vocals that sometimes sound buried in the mix or recorded in an empty washing machine, guitars that sound like a wall of noise as opposed to crisp, clean riffs etc…you get the picture. Evidently, the loudness wars are still not over as the first thing I had to do when I queued this up was turn it down. Everyone has choices where to spend their money and therefore have a purchased right to judge the product they just bought. It’s a real shame as I adore Cheap Trick’s musical stylings and “All Washed Up” could have been one of their very best albums. Here’s a thought, bring Jack Douglas back into the fold. “5” stars for the songs, “1” star for the mix & mastering, “2 1/2” stars overall. My ears hurt…sad to say.

Another incredible album by Rockford’s finest! Robin really is the man of a thousand voices! The songs are top notch and the hooks never stop! But still miss Bun! Catch them live!

Amazon says, Shipped”Laundry Detergent” that is Great! Love Cheap Trick, they are pro’s. Seen them twice in concert. They sound great live. And Rick’s son is a hellava drummer too. Great CD worth it for sure.

While I’ve not listened to this yet, I’m a Cheep Trick collector so it’s a no brainer to collect. Beware that there is an orange transparent version as well.

Love this album, perfect addition to my home music library

My MIL loves Taylor so I bought this for her . She said it was very good quality and listens to this album all the time .

I bought this album for a family member that LOVESTaylor Swift. It is her first album and has great songs. Tim McGraw is the best song. This plays excellent on a record player and my niece loved it.

My grandson loves the album. It was sent in very safe packaging .

Bought this for my granddaughter because she worships Taylor Swift like she’s a pop princess and a fairy godmother rolled into one. I figured, why not start her at the beginning? You know, before the stadium tours, glitter bombs, and world domination.She loaded this in and immediately started singing every word like she was performing at the Grammys. I think I saw her tear up during “Teardrops on My Guitar.” A dramatic icon in the making.Honestly, if this album brings her this much joy, I might just start listening to it myself… once I figure out how to use her Bluetooth speaker without accidentally calling someone.Bottom line: Taylor made a fan out of my granddaughter—and made me the coolest grandparent on the block. 10/10, no notes.

I’m beyond thrilled to add this Taylor Swift [2 LP] vinyl to my collection—right on the day Taylor announced she owns all her masters now. It feels like celebrating a long-fought victory with every spin.The vinyl itself is gorgeous, the sound crisp and clear, and it carries the power of every lyric and note with such intensity. This isn’t just music—it’s a statement, a triumph, and a reminder of Taylor’s strength.For any true fan, this is more than a record. It’s a piece of history. Owning it feels like owning a secret whispered only to those who understand.

Love Taylor’s PG albums. Can anyone tell me which album starts with the cursing? Not interested in those. I loved her innocent and sweet albums.

Great prices
