Comments
It can be pretty tricky to fit time to Album listening and review into a busy schedule, but it can be pretty rewarding, especially when it comes to Albums like this.
The Album is pretty bone chilling when you take into account that this is one of Phil Spector's works, who would later go on to kill the lead singer of The Ronettes. It kind of adds a creepy vibe of melancholy happiness.
There's some pretty upbeat, jolly, and just overall fun music all over this Album. There's a cover of a Ray Charles song, which is pretty cash, and a good tap-your-foot Album in general.
It just didn't feel right. It felt like it was missing something. Each song was fine, but the connection between each song felt very distant, and it kind of shattered the story of an Album itself, which I think is pretty vital to an Album's success, and is the thing that liberates an Artist's individuality from the shell of just raw music.
