In other words, records that have parts you very much enjoy and others you intensely dislike. For me, it's Frampton's Do You Feel Like We Do?
I like the slow opening with the key change.
The lyrics are so-so at best.
The first guitar solo has one of the most gorgeous tones I can think of and the licks flow very nicely. I don't care too much for pedal effects but the chorus works here.
The keyboard middle and second guitar solo add little but time.
The talk-box parts are terrible and belabored. Did people believe Frampton found a way to get his Les Paul to talk?
The finale is intense though perhaps bombastic.

I like it pretty much...I can't really think of any myself...I enjoy the long, long, version of Rare Earth's GET READY (at all of 22-1/2 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!) though the instrumnetal part can be a bit much, I sometimes switch (this is on mp3, on a n immense playlist) to another song in seven minutes before it ends..  |

Taylor Swift - Shake It Off...a pop classic in my eyes...but that "talky" bit has to go. Ditto We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together

The talk box may be dated now, but back then it was novel and very cool, and in this particular song, it was the part everyone wanted to hear.

Records you both love and hate. In other words, records that have parts you very much enjoy and others you intensely dislike. I can't think of any songs I both love and hate. But there are songs that I have mixed feelings about. The first one that came to mind is "The Healer" by Primal Fear, from the "Devil's Ground" album. In my review of "Devil's Ground" on Amazon.com, I said the album was great overall, but "The Healer" was a big problem: I then went on to say "a computer and an audio editing program could easily fix" it. And that's exactly what I did. I edited "The Healer" down from its original 06:40 running time to 4:36. But even the band must have realized that the original was too long, as the music video was cut down to an even shorter 3:56. "The Healer" - Original (6:40) "The Healer" - Music Video (3:56)

Frampton was highly popular and that record was-oft heard in dorms and on the radio. A lot of people thought the talk-box sound was really cool but I thought it quite cheesy.
