Here is a concise summary focusing on the background of Grand Union/Skewbald:
Grand Union, later known as Skewbald, was formed by Ian MacKaye, Jeff Nelson, Eddie Janney, and John Falls in the Dischord House basement. The band's name originated from a nearby grocery store, while Ian preferred the name Skewbald, which he found in a dictionary. Despite recording three untitled songs at Inner Ear Studios, the band's practices ceased, and John left the group. Ian later switched to bass, and the trio practiced briefly before Minor Threat reformed, effectively ending the project. The recorded songs circulated through tape trading and were sometimes mistaken for unreleased Minor Threat tracks.

test-1-10287 | release | album | ian and jeff started playing music with their dischord housemate eddie and another local punk , john falls , who had done a short stint as guitarist with youth brigade . the band was one of many projects that practiced in the basement of dischord house and took its name from a nearby grocery store , grand union . ian came across the word " skewbald " in a dictionary and thought it was a better band name , but jeff stuck by grand union . unable to reach a decision in the matter , the band ended up having two names . skewbald would never play a show and the only people who ever saw the band play may well have been eric and toni of red c , who sat in at a practice one day . the band did end up recording three untitled songs at inner ear at the same session that yielded " rozzyln rangers " , the theme song of dischord house . after recording , the practices came to a halt and john left the picture . eventually ian moved from vocals to bass and skewbald practiced as a three piece a few more times in early 1982 , but the project was stopped cold by minor threat ' s decision to reform in april . the three songs skewbald recorded ended up being traded around the country on tapes and in some circles were mistakenly considered unreleased minor threat songs . five years later , dischord released the session to mark its 50th release . lyle preslar ' s decision to go to northwestern university in september of 1981 broke up minor threat , so the other three members immediately started looking for other bands to form or join . if you have an issue to report or need help , please visit store help . by : richard n . leigh almost 5 years ago permalink be forewarned that the " bonus compilation " that comes with this box set includes several tracks of dubious audio quality . of the 14 tracks , only 5 are in 320 kbps . there are 7 tracks in 128 kbps , 1 in 160 kbps , and 1 in 192 kbps . i asked , and they said that this was the best audio quality they had . must have for this money and in general . three cds , two of previously released material , one of previously unreleased material . the rare & unreleased songs from the third disc have also been released separately as an mp3 download . trusty goodbye , dr . fate interview 6 live video clips ( teen idles , untouchables , s . o . a . , faith , void , and deadline ) | for ten years , the recordings of skewbald / grand union made the rounds in tape trading circles and some erroneously believed that the songs were minor threat outtakes . in 1991 , the demo received a proper release , on 7 - inch clear vinyl , when dischord records issued the one - sided ep skewbald / grand union to commemorate the label ' s 50th release . two out of the three songs were merged on the first track . | 4 page booklet with liner notes by richard n. leigh. the booklet is very informative and provides great context for the era and the bands involved. the discs come in cardboard sleeves with reproductions of original artwork. the packaging is simple yet effective. the sound quality is excellent throughout. highly recommended for fans of early american hardcore punk. |
test-1-10489 | chart positions | album | going by the dub scientist ’ s rule of thumb that less is more , ‘ laika come home ’ is that most exciting prospect – a damon albarn album , with all the damon albarn taken off it , but if his voice is seldom heard , the man is undoubtedly still present in its grooves . over a pretty trad dub framework , the album is rife with excellent brass arrangements ( particularly on the single ‘ m1 / a1 ’ ) that pay homage to the specials and 2 - tone , and to dexy ‘ s , essentially to the powerful multicultural guitar music of albarn ’ s youth . if you hadn ’ t guessed that terry hall is on it , well , terry hall ’ s on it . © copyright time inc .

Here's a summary of the article, focusing on the aspect chart positions:
The article discusses Damon Albarn's new album "Laika Come Home", which takes inspiration from traditional dub music. The album features excellent brass arrangements, paying homage to bands like The Specials and Dexys Midnight Runners. Terry Hall also makes an appearance on the album. Overall, the album is a stripped-back, laid-back affair, with Albarn's voice taking a backseat.

test-1-14911 | critical reception | album | but deathspell omega did smartly elect to follow 2010 ' s paracletus - - a masterpiece full - length of aggressive misdirection and instant , infinite tangents - - with two eps , last year ' s one track diabolus absconditus and this year ' s drought , a six - song , 23 - minute short that is comparatively slight in both scope and power . consider this a sacrificial effort , then , since most anything that chased paracletus might have felt like a letdown . drought certainly does , thanks mostly to its stature and structure . the six parts themselves are good , but they ' re pieced together clumsily . the lengthy instrumentals that serve as bookends seem simply tacked on , surrounding the other four tracks rather than frame them . opener " salowe vision " begins with patience and texture that suggests the intricate paths of brise - glace , as bowed cymbals slink through decaying riffs and gales of background noise . the track builds toward post - rock glory but stops just short of the expected payoff , flatly fading into " fiery serpents " . at least the chaser is itself exhilarating : built by repeating short rhythmic and melodic phrases and then letting them implode , " fiery serpents " subtly reimagines the lessons of minimalism within a black metal blunderbuss , a notion not entirely removed from the band that started a firestorm of stateside " troo believers " last year . for the last decade , the mysterious french metal shapeshifters have made some of the most fitful and demanding heavy records in the world . here they follow 2010 ' s masterful paracletus and last year ' s one - track diabolus absconditus with a six - song ep . the abrupt jerk between the first two tracks reflects the real problem with drought , which , unlike paracletus , isn ' t long enough to sweep you into its tide of spasticity or well - built enough to maintain the momentum it sometimes lassoes . the 100 - second " sand " , for instance , plods behind a repetitive riff , settling into a groove suitable for watching the guitars work overhead ; but goofy , ghoulish multi - tracked vocals steal the spotlight just as soon as it ' s noticed . and just as soon as those have set in , the song - - which feels mostly like an undeveloped bauble , or something the band just had to fit in somewhere - - cuts to " abrasive swirling murk " , another no - transition jump deep into non sequitur . closer " the crackled book of life " is a brisk instrumental , built on a riff that multiplies until , true to deathspell omega anti - form , the song opens into a midsection of glowing keyboards and piercing countermelodies . when deathspell omega return for a final , full - volume take on the theme , it feels like a victory lap that ' s neither deserved nor necessary . it ' s the simplistic bow on a package that was never very neat at all . pitchfork is the most trusted voice in music . deathspell omega probably don ' t spend too much time on sales strategies . resistant to interviews and elusive of identification , the mysterious french metal shapeshifters are too cloaked to be marketed and too complex to be defined . they splice their orthodox satanic / philosophical black metal surge and cavernous math - rock contortion with enviable technical skills and forcefulness , slamming disjointed parts into one another hard enough for the joints to yield to their will . for the last decade , they ' ve made some of the most fitful and demanding heavy records in the world - - including 2004 ' s si monumentum requires , circumspice and 2007 ' s fas - ite , maledicti , in ignem aeternum - - and they ' ve gone out of their way to not be overexposed . they don ' t play live or do press kits . | drought received mostly positive reviews from music critics . metalsucks wrote that " in 20ish minutes , they create discomfort , obliterate , and even pine a little . they don ’ t stray far from the center , keeping things even more tightly reined in than paracletus . but while that may seem like creative fatigue or ennui the first time through , after a while , drought reveals itself to be so tightly packed that most of the details fly by you . but they ’ re there , destined to be dissembled . " pitchfork were more critical , writing that " the six parts themselves are good , but they ' re pieced together clumsily . the lengthy instrumentals that serve as bookends seem simply tacked on , surrounding the other four tracks rather than frame them " | 2010's paracletus was a masterpiece of aggressive misdirection and instant, infinite tangents. last year's diabolus absconditus was a single, 22 - minute track that was more of the same. now comes drought, a six - song, 23 - minute ep that is comparatively slight in both scope and power. consider this a sacrificial effort, then, since most anything that chased paracletus might have felt like a letdown. drought certainly does, thanks mostly to its stature and structure. the six parts themselves are good, but they're pieced together clumsily. the lengthy instrumentals that serve as bookends seem simply tacked on, surrounding the other four tracks rather than frame them. |

The article's tone is humorous and sarcastic, with a touch of frustration. The author pokes fun at the Bills' poor performance, using phrases like "even a wish to Santa Claus on Christmas Eve couldn't save Buffalo's season" and "the Buffalo Bills playoff drought has officially extended to 17 years." The use of hyperbole ("Bills fans were so furious...they decided to take matters into their own hands and slam Santa Claus through a table") adds to the comedic tone. However, beneath the humor, there is a sense of disappointment and frustration with the team's continued failures. |

" such moments make electrik red ' s music feel as real and lived - in as dazzling , shiny r & b can hope to , possessing a capacity for rightness that cannot be reduced to lyrical sophistication , performative flair , or production novelty , but is borne of the kind of charisma you can possess when you take success for granted . and because electrik red take it for granted , it ' s tempting to adopt the same stance as listener ; but these songs have already outsmarted you . as " so good " puts it , " i shouldn ' t have let you hit that / ' cause now i can ' t forget that . " undeniably , electrik red are contemporary r & b formula : four harmonizing and occasionally rapping vocalists covering the spectrum from breathy innocence to sly rasp ; overripe synthetic productions drunk on 1980s prince , r kelly , and polow da don ; a near total obliviousness to matters outside of sex and dancing and their attendant concerns . their confidence is the confidence of an entire genre , detached from the hallmarks of individualism that traditionally attract plaudits , such that it doesn ' t really matter whether it ' s lesley or naomi who takes time out from " w . f . y . " to compliment you on that thing that you do with your tongue ( " amazing . stupendous . marvelous . exciting . " ) but then criticize you for wearing skinny jeans . pitchfork is the most trusted voice in music . with production by the - dream and his cohorts , this r & b group ' s debut features lush slow jams and rococo , information - overload uptempo tracks . | the album debuted at number 100 on the u . s . billboard 200 chart , with first - week sales of 5 , 000 copies in the united states . it ultimately spent one week on the chart . it also charted at number 20 on billboard ' s top r & b / hip - hop albums chart . | "

test-6-9414 | reception | album | the title track sets the tone at the start of the album . a treatise to slapstick , " merriment " carries itself with nobility , a majesty flaunting an ambition to be vaudeville ' s national anthem . the song declares in closing : " bless the idiot / that makes us split a gut / roses for the butt of all our merriment . " throughout the disc , the music itself doesn ' t vary enough from its median to distract . rather , it serves as a consistent segue mechanism , linking the miniature narratives together . other songs , such as " fissle , " wax bizarre : " carbon ends up caramelized / in the perforated sky / fissle , every one . " and " smell the mighty monkey / trainer is a junkie / and the tightrope walker / has one foot in the grave " in " mighty monkey " are the first brushstrokes of a portrait of a degenerate carnival . vic chesnutt / mr . & mrs . keneipp : merriment album review | pitchfork the album merriment is a collaboration in the mermaid avenue sense . chesnutt was happily bamboozled into singing and scribing words to the already - extant music composed by backburner records honchos kelly and nikki keneipp . one suspects from the aural evidence that the work was done with chesnutt in mind all along , and was handed to him to put his indelible and hand - carved stamp on it . you must realize by now that you ' ve been tricked by vic chesnutt , the br ' er rabbit of folk music . he doesn ' t write songs , he writes short stories . in merriment , ghostly , dream - like images flit across your brain like fingers across pages , orchestrated by chesnutt ' s frail voice and sinister lyricism . chesnutt doesn ' t write songs , he directs and stars in film shorts : brief vignettes of wintry , slow - motion nativities radiating holiness and tableau dioramas of circus train wrecks . vic doesn ' t write songs , he paints crude , unnerving folk art - - scenes like the album cover in which a smirking misshapen man with a bandaged head stands in the middle of a dirt country lane holding 11 roses and a homemade sign . with a modicum effort , you can hear hints of lennon , chilton , richman , black and even fellow athenian stipe in the lines and chord progressions . but merriment is more an example of archetypal songwriting than it is derivative . the arrangements are streamlined and efficient , relying on linear piano and acoustic guitar integers to serve as the dais upon which chesnutt showcases his gifts . and as always , whether on concept albums like the salesmen and bernadette or in the honesty of his earlier work , chesnutt ' s warped wordcraft and hound - dog yodel take center stage . pitchfork is the most trusted voice in music . some artists are wedded to their geography . it would be unimaginable for sonic youth to hail from tulsa , and impossible for oasis to reside in bakersfield . even schlock like marilyn manson makes sense in the context of originating from the moral void that is miami . athens , georgia has been chesnutt ' s creative crucible for the past dozen years , and it makes a lot of sense . his lyrics reflect his environment - - one that ' s equal parts small - town charm and southern - weird . boyd dupree < boyd . dupree at emergeam . com > andrew ellis < aellis at paradigmagency . com > © galgorm resort and spa , galgorm bt42 1ea , co . antrim , n . ireland tel : + 44 ( 0 ) 28 2588 1001 | reservations @ galgorm . com | the music review online magazine pitchfork media gave merriment an 8 . 0 . | 2022

The reviewer also notes the efficiency of the arrangements, allowing Chesnutt's gifts to take center stage. The album is seen as a prime example of archetypal songwriting, with nods to influences like Lennon, Chilton, and Richman, but ultimately standing on its own merit. |

test-6-12943 | reception | album | a knowledge of spanish is not required to enjoy this album — the sonic richness of the whole thing keeps you entertained . that said , tijoux ' s lyrics are particularly incisive . she applauds the recent student protests in chile on the single “ shock ” and evokes the intimacy of meeting an old friend for an evening of laughter and philosophizing on “ quizás . ” there are a couple of low moments ( a jarring duet with cuban rappers los aldeanos belongs on a different album ) , but overall , “ la bala ” showcases tijoux as one of latin music ' s most sensitive and inventive artists — regardless of genre . building on that same foundation but adding layers of actual singing and an eclectic gallery of guest vocalists , “ la bala ” is tijoux ' s magnum opus , perhaps the most sumptuous album that rap en español has known . after she expressed the desire to “ rap against violins , ” producer andrés celis assembled a miniature symphony orchestra of strings and brass , recorded live . on “ desclasificado ” the result is gorgeous , a majestic blend of prokofiev and hip - hop , the ominous orchestration underscoring the sweet drama in tijoux ' s delivery . two years ago , chilean mc ana tijoux changed the face of latin rap with her second solo effort , “ 1977 . ” an epic statement of purpose , the album introduced audiences outside south america to tijoux ' s seductive flow , the smoky texture of her voice and a weakness for rhymes that don ' t rhyme , rearranging the spanish language with broken syllables and staccato accents . this entry was posted in fun . bookmark the permalink . enter your comment here . . . you are commenting using your wordpress . com account .

" some suspected the opening track " la bala " ( ' the bullet " ) , which describes the shooting of a young man , was based on the death of chilean student protester manuel gutierrez reinoso . tijoux has denied this , noting how she wrote the song several months before the incident . " shock " was the first single released from the album . it was inspired by and named after naomi klein ' s book , the shock doctrine , which discusses how global powers have used violence and " manufactured crises " to maintain power and exploit workers , including how the policies of economists like milton friedman affected the chilean people under the pinochet regime . the song went on to become an anthem for chilean student protesters . the music video for " shock " was directed by aldo guerrero and features footage from schools and universities occupied by student protesters . | 2 times gold medalist in international abacus competition … 3 times winner of national level quiz competition … author of 5 books including a best seller … founder of a successful startup company at the age of 28 …. all these achievements are not of a genius or a super human being. it is the story of a person who was told that he can't do anything because he is mentally retarded. but he proved them wrong. he did everything that a normal person does and even more than that. he is a true inspiration to many people around him...”

The production is rich, with a live-recorded miniature symphony orchestra adding depth to the sound. Overall, the album is considered a masterpiece of Latin rap. |

Here We Go Magic's debut album received mixed reviews from critics. While some praised Temple's songwriting skills, others found the album's experimental soundscapes and electronic elements overwhelming. The album's creative center, Luke Temple, brought a unique perspective to the table, having started his career as a muralist. The Brooklyn-based band's music blended indie folk, baroque pop, and plains country, creating a dreamy, psychedelic atmosphere.

test-6-19218 | reception | album | all music states that ‘ the playing ’ on a fickle sonance ‘ remained in a swinging , blues - oriented style , showing no hints of the direction his music was about to take ’ . not entirely accurate . the title track certainly foreshadows mclean ’ s modal jazz . mclean ’ s solo in a fickle sonance borders on the abstract . who wouldn ’ t kill for an unreleased monk track ? it ’ s an alluring tune with a bridge that resembles bemsha swing and mclean jumps at the opportunity , alternating note - bending wails that stretch the boundaries of the melody line with rapid glissandos . monk ’ s tune is fitting , since in a fickle sonance ’ s set of tunes , air and spaceousness are dominant features . to create a relaxed atmosphere while operating on a strikingly emotional as well as a highly proficient level is no small feat of jackie mclean ’ s outstanding quintet . if jackie mclean ’ s career would ’ ve ended right after recording a fickle sonance , people would certainly have pointed out the alto saxophonist ’ s development from one of charlie parker ’ s most proficient disciples to an alto saxophonist that made his mark with a series of excellent blue note recordings from 1959 to 1961 , employing his highly emotional , piercing sound : already a great legacy . however , mclean raised the bars considerably the following years , breaking and entering hard bop ’ s living quarters with a series of vanguard recordings in cooperation with avantgardists like ornette coleman . the angular quality of mclean ’ s lines and his probing , biting tone set mclean apart from his contemporaries . he ’ s a passionate player with a dark - hued sound , involving macabre , if occasionally frivolous overtones . a fickle sonance for sure . the way mclean lends substance to ballads was striking as well . mclean ’ s powerful statements on his original composition subdued suggest a passionate singing voice . fickle means ‘ liable to sudden unpredictable change ’ . sonance is an archaic synonym of ‘ sound ’ . by calling his album and title track thus , mclean reveals to be a conscious commentator of the dual nature of both his own sound and style and jazz in general , which is all about surprise . sonny clark ’ s five will get you ten is more unusual . it ’ s a rip - off from one of thelonious monk ’ s unreleased cuts , two timer , that clark presumably overheard monk play and plagiarized in order to raise quick cash for his increasingly alarmous drug habits . ( monk never found out , but undoubtly would ’ ve forgiven the younger clark , who was taken under his wings by monk for quite a while at the famous jazz mecenas nica “ pannonica ” de koenigwarter ’ s residence ) clark ’ s title arguably alludes to the drug scene ; ‘ five ’ would be cash , ‘ ten ’ would be a certain amount of dope . tunes like sonny clark ’ s sundu , tommy turrentine ’ s enitnerrut ( turrentine spelt backwards ) and butch warren ’ s lost fit into the ‘ codified ’ blue note message : deceptively effortless hard bop tracks from a rhythm section that would work together two weeks later on sonny clark ’ s splendid swan song as a leader , leapin ’ and lopin ’ on november 13 , 1961 . sorry , your blog cannot share posts by email . | the allmusic review by al campbell awarded the album 3 stars and stated : “ even though a fickle sonance preceded mclean ' s intense 1962 album let freedom ring , the playing remained in a swinging blues - oriented style , showing no hint of the direction his music was about to take . ” | |

test-8-2 | critical reception | album | although their very fine debut , 1997 ' s sóknardalr , had already shown a remarkable creative vision and no lack of songwriting maturity , windir ' s second album , 1998 ' s arntor , took advantage of lessons learned and much improved production standards to take the group ' s folk - laden black metal to a whole new level . setting standards that would hereafter be emulated by numerous extreme metal bands attuned to their native musical traditions ( e . g . romania ' s negura bunget and the ukraine ' s drudkh ) , arntor was arguably the shot heard ' round the world , as it were - - only that world happened to be the relatively small , reclusive , and tight - knit world of black metal . nevertheless , the metal - free , accordion - ruled " byrjing " ( the beginning ) and conversely black metal - loaded " ending " provided suitably opposed bookends , spanning the breadth of what lay between - - much of it as groundbreaking as it was astonishingly easy to absorb . perhaps it ' s best to begin by describing epic - length album centerpieces " svartesmeden og lundamyrstrollet " ( the blacksmith and the troll of lundamyri ) and " saknet " ( the longing ) , since they really have it all : multiple passages of varying intensity and tempos ranging from blastbeat to polka ; equally effective croaked and sung vocals ; faux - symphonic orchestrations serving as backdrops as well as dominating showpieces ; and energized , memorably sinuous folk melodies that pierce and hold everything together . in other words , this tandem more than justifies its unwieldy girth , while allowing shorter efforts like " arntor , ein windir " ( arntor , a warrior ) and " kong hydnes haug " ( the burial mound of king hydnes ) to focus on a smaller survey of windir ' s sound components at a time ( marching guitar chords and eerie synth lines , for example ) , without the need for a kitchen sink thrown in . and , for those who still feel inclined to stuff all of the above , eclectic or not , into a certain formulaic box , windir also provide a few oddities like " kampen " ( the struggle ) , which conspicuously interrupts its black / folk portions with avant - garde staccato riffs indicative of enslaved ' s future works . in short , this album ' s importance in the grand scheme of scandinavian heavy metal is difficult to overstate , and if sweden ' s bathory were responsible for introducing the viking metal concept to begin with , then the watershed arntor gave windir a strong case as heirs to their throne , by showing the way forward for the genre ' s future disciples . allmusic relies heavily on javascript . please enable javascript in your browser to use the site fully . you ' ll need a plus subscription and a desktop browser to print this page : http : / / www . songsterr . com / a / wa / plus all content on this page is the property of the copyright owner of the original composition . | allmusic praised the album , writing , " this album ' s importance in the grand scheme of scandinavian heavy metal is difficult to overstate , and if sweden ' s bathory were responsible for introducing the viking metal concept to begin with , then the watershed arntor gave windir a strong case as heirs to their throne , by showing the way forward for the genre ' s future disciples .

Here is a concise summary focusing on the critical reception of Windir's album Arntor:
Windir's 1998 album Arntor received widespread acclaim for its innovative blend of folk-laden black metal. The album set a new standard for extreme metal bands drawing inspiration from native musical traditions, influencing groups such as Negura Bunget and Drudkh. Critics praised the album's epic centerpieces, "Svartesmeden og Lundamyrstrollet" and "Saknet", for their varied intensity, tempo changes, and memorable folk melodies. The album's importance in Scandinavian heavy metal is difficult to overstate, with many considering Windir the rightful heirs to Bathory's Viking metal throne. |

test-8-199 | critical reception | album | even though it ’ s essentially just a collection of tracks , the immortal otis redding has always felt more like a cohesive record , and is certainly his most listenable , first track to last . the journey from song to song here feels as natural as an evening stroll , concluding with otis ’ s seeming return to gospel roots with “ amen ” ( and it ’ s this version that hozier quotes in “ take me to church ” ) . it is a choice that could strike some as cynical , as if otis were ascending to heaven as the needle spins off the wax . but this is an “ amen ” born less in pews than in the sweat , funk , and precision of a memphis recording studio . it turns out to be the perfect platform for both stax ’ s legendary house band , booker t . & the mg ’ s , and also otis ’ impeccable phrasing , which belongs in the american pantheon alongside billie holiday , frank sinatra and willie nelson . the simpler the tune , word , phrase , the more meaning otis wrings out of it . to god be the glory , he says by means of a goodbye , but it ’ s the mg ’ s in which we trust . it ’ s a sad irony that otis redding ’ s best album was one quickly assembled after his death . walk into the warm shadow of the immortal otis redding and discover a man you know , a lover and friend , smaller than life and too large to exist in it , his nearness all the more palpable by the fact that he has been absent for more than four decades . the figure who emerges from this 1968 masterpiece is almost too much like the people you love : brash and insecure , sincere in his heartbreak and in on the joke , clingy yet not close enough , a man of flesh and god . yes , otis , you are hard to handle , to quote the album ’ s rave - up single , but not quite in the way you mean . we tend to think of otis as the sweat - soaked rooster from stax ’ s soul revues , almost forgetting how many colors the man possessed and how wont he was to show himself as anything but powerful . ( his first top 10 hit was 1964 ’ s “ mr . pitiful . ” ) for a figure who embodied the term “ soul ” as much as any 20th - century artist , otis was shockingly cerebral on his final recordings . how does he respond to being done dirt by his woman ? in the immortal otis redding ’ s haunting opening track , “ dreams to remember , ” he simply gathers himself up and recalls the man he was supposed to become . and , oh , what he was supposed to become : otis wrote or cowrote seven of the 11 songs here , showing in the last year of his life the vastness of a potential that would go painfully unrealized . imagine , for a moment , how beautiful it would have been had this georgia soul man lived to be touched by the same social conscience that would lead marvin gaye to create what ’ s going on ? part of his legacy was that otis plead with and sweet talked soul music away from the spit and polish of detroit ’ s motown hit machine and back home to tennessee . most of that work was finished by the time he recorded the tunes on the immortal otis redding , and the songs here have a relaxed , back - porch quality . it allows him room to show a range of softer emotions , from the gratitude of “ you made a man out of me , ” to the homesickness of “ nobody ’ s fault but my own , ” to the inspired goofiness of “ the happy song ( dun - dum ) . ” when he finally brings the excruciating , high - stakes heartbreak we ’ ve come to expect from the big o — it comes here via the beautifully strained vocal of “ think about it ”— it feels intimate , vulnerable and unselfconscious . this was a man at the peak of his abilities , able to reach the corners of the room , choosing instead to explore the corners of his own heart . it ’ s a strange irony that otis redding ’ s best album would be the one hastily assembled after his death . please enable javascript to view the comments powered by disqus . | writing for creem magazine in 1977 , robert christgau called the immortal otis redding his favorite album by redding and " probably among my five most - played lps " , because it " showcases the unduplicated warmth , tenderness , and humor of his ballad singing " . the following year , it was voted the 33rd best album ever in paul gambaccini ' s poll of prominent rock critics , published in his book rock critics ' choice : the top 200 albums . christgau ranked it third in a list accompanying the book . music critic dave marsh gave it five stars in the new rolling stone record guide ( 1983 ) . lindsay planer from allmusic gave it three - and - a - half stars and said although it " wasn ' t quite on par with " redding ' s several other studio albums , the songs on the immortal otis redding were " welcome ( if not mandatory ) additions to all manner of listeners " . | |

Here is a concise summary focusing on the critical reception:
The album "Game Changer" by Eddy "Rawsrvnt" Puyol has received mixed reviews. While some critics praise the album's unique blend of dance club appeal and evangelical themes, others find the lyrics too raw and unapologetic. The album takes a brief detour from its usual tone with romantic tracks like "Light Up the Night" and "Lost Without U", which are more suitable for tasteful playlists. Overall, the album's reception is divided, with some praising its boldness and others finding it too provocative. |
