| | Customer Reviews: High-water mark (09 December 2008)I seldom give Blue a spin, no more than a couple of times a year I'd say. But when I do, I listen. I make myself a cup of tea - maybe pour a drink if it's later in the day - and devote 40 or so minutes of my busy life to this music. It never fails to captivate and thrill, just as it did when I first heard it thirty-odd years ago. As a rule, when others fail to share my enthusiasm for an album, I accept it with a shrug and move on. But I'm with Nick Hornby on this one. If you don't like Blue, there's something wrong with your ears. Truly a high-water mark in 20th century Western culture. My world changed (21 July 2008)I first heard the song Case of You in the film Practical Magic and thought how wonderful it was. I bought the film soundtrack (the whole music selection for the film was pretty good) and then i bought the album Blue to see what the rest of Jonis work was like. I fell in love with the album so completely, that now i've moved to MP3 and sold 99% of my CD's i can't bear to part with this one. One of the others is Court & Spark. The music is so simple, the strings, drums, and her voice- the most wonderful voice i have ever heard, conveying such emotion that the music and words combined make the whole album an amazing rollercoaster of feelings and thoughts. I'd recommend to anyone who has ever felt any kind of emotion. Why not say what you really feel? (04 February 2008)I have read all the reviews of BLUE on this site and they all give 5 stars. This is only because there isn't a rating for "THE BEST ALBUM OF ALL TIME". In the years since I first heard Joni's heartstrings crying out I have heard many other albums - some great - but they are all pretenders. Blue just pushes all the buttons, ticks all the boxes and speaks direct to the core. The most uplifting sad album of all time (19 October 2007)This wonderful record is full of very sad songs about loss and the breakup of relationships. So the fact that it is one of the most uplifting and positive records I've heard puts it into my 'must haves'. A beautiful record which you should buy now. Not a country or joni m fan (10 July 2007)Simply this is one of the 5 best albums ever. Seriously. I cannot recommend this highly enough. Most great musicians have a great tune or 2 in them. Wonderwall and Oasis, foxy lady and hendrix, smells like teen spirite and nirvana. But this album is shockingy raw. Goose pimples and a heaving heart. |
