Some bangers in there that didn't know were part of this album
Classic teenage grunge. Second half of the album doesn't really stand up
Couple of bangers but rest of the album is meh
Not my favourite Radiohead album, but still a 5* album
Something a bit different, not too bad, but I doubt I'll listen to it again
Hadn't actually listened to Guns n roses beyond their greatest hits, so hearing most of the songs on the album for the first time.
Enjoyed it a lot.
Thought this would be a fun listen but I didn't care for it at all.
First two thirds: yeah this is great. Last third: what the fuck is this
First completely novel album for me. Was surprised by how much I enjoyed it.
Maybe it's because I'm coming straight from Repeater, but I didn't care for this album. Not my cup of tea
Not a single banger. Poor effort
Not terrible or anything but pretty forgettable 90s music
Never heard of them before and wondered about how good the album would be but actually enjoyed it quite a lot
Just found it quite a dull listen
Not really my cup of tea, but that considered I did enjoy the album
No strong feelings on this one, was an alright listen but nothing stupendous
Surprised by how many of the songs on there I recognised. Not my normal jam, but I enjoyed my listen.
Some of the songs a bit hit and miss, but I did actually enjoy my listen so it gets a 4
Thought it was an alright listen overall, a few indie bangers in there.
Always like some Midlands reggae
Just got on my nerves. Cover of I heard it on the grapevine was good though
Completely new to me. Was expecting something very poppy but was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this.
Turns out I'm middle aged now
Went in thinking it would be quite corny, but found it very listenable. That said, more something to have on in the background .
Really rather dull
Went in expecting to enjoy this. Aside from a couple of classics I found the album pretty dull on the whole
Almost peak Arcade Fire. Good stuff
Maybe it was my workday, but I enjoyed this on a Wednesday afternoon
Unlike other punk albums we've had I didn't hate this one. That said I struggled to remember the album this morning
Not my favourite Radiohead album, but I am a fan boy
Britpop but they went all in on dull
What can I say, I'm a sucker for dreary toss
Great stuff
Some great songs, some filler
Enjoyable britpop. Tails off towards the end of the album
This was an odd one. Initially when I started listening I was thinking of giving it a 1 or a 2 - it's a Rolling Stones album but there's not a single classic on the album.
Once I discounted it being a Stones album I enjoyed it a great deal as a blues album
Solid album from start to finish
Could barely remember what I'd listened to
Forgettable
Normally hate a live album, but thought this was great
Album alternated between songs I thought were alright to ones that got on my tits.
Listening on the train probably aggravated by rating
Meh
I do enjoy some Chemical Brothers now and again
Meh
Front loaded with some decent songs, absolute crap by the end
Peak Queen
Not mind blowing, but a solid album that was easy listening and enjoyable from beginning to end
Don't know if I was just Van Morrisoned out, if it's because it's live album or what, but I just did not care for this album.
Considering the band name this did not have enough funk for me
One hit wonder
It was just noise. I went back and listened again to see if I'd forgotten something. Impressive in a way that it left no mark
Really chill album, enjoyed a lot
Grew on me as I listened
This felt like something a bit different. I don't know how influential or important it actually is, but was far more interesting than a couple of hits + filler
Enjoyed listening to this a lot
Pure, refined 80s. Kinda enjoyed
An album that I thought I should like, but just couldn't get into it
A couple of bangers, but the rest feels like quite dull meandering tunes
Boring
I thought it was a fun listen
Strange and unusual? Yes.
Did I find it enjoyable? Oddly, enough also yes.
Some (many?) of the lyrics don't exactly hold up to modern sensibilities but overall I enjoyed my listen
Whole album was a solid listen, enjoyed this one a lot
Probably something I sneered at on release and sure, it's not a sophisticated listen, but album was a fun, catchy listen all the way through the album
A hard one to rate. Had quite a generic sound, but I think that's due to how influential and popular the songs are. I leaned on the positive side and gave this one a 4 (tossup between 3 and 4)
I really wish this one didn't come in my ears. Absolutely horrendous, discordant rubbish.
Highly reminiscent of piped music in a hotel lobby.
The inoffensive nature almost scored it higher as a kneejerk reaction after Kollaps
Maybe it's the recent run we've had but I found a lot to enjoy with this album.
Most of the songs pretty catchy and the album felt consistent throughout
A fun album but I just couldn't get into it.
Kinda weird when you start listening to the lyrics, but a nice chill album overall
Very chill blues album
I don't think they liked the police, but I did like this
Again, went in with slightly snobby impressions but the album won me over
Fun album that I enjoyed listening to but songs bleed into one. Lyrics are bit cringey
Nice chill album, liked it a lot
Great voice and first few songs are great. Gets a bit weaker down the album
Middle of the road music
I'm sure it's technically good and all but just couldn't get into it
Pretentious and irritating
Despite the lack of Seven Nation Army this is a solid album all the way through.
I tire of post punk. Just a bit of a shit genre I'm feeling
Peak 80s, stuffed full of bangers. Perfect Friday afternoon listening
Didn't hate it, but wasn't particularly impressed either
Sometimes a bit overheavy on the harmonica, but a good album overall
I'm sure the skill present is very impressive but the bloody endless piano and the odd little grunts just got on my nerves
Dreadful tosh
It's fine I guess.
Solid turn of the century indie
100% dad rock but I had a good time listening
Pop masterpiece
Great voice and a great chill album.
Smashing stuff
Felt I could only truly enjoy this album if I had my beret on whilst smoking a gauloises
Probably getting 4 stars because I was so surprised I didn't hate it.
A bit(!) overlong, but I enjoyed the jazz. That said I could do with less of the compere.
Not my cup of tea
Starts off strong but dwindles away a bit
Maybe its listening to it on a Monday morning, but I just found it awfully grating
Went in with low expectations but thought this was fantastic. Prestigious two thumbs up from me
I don't care for Led Zeppelin that much overall, but I recognise that Kashmir is a certified banger
Pleasant and relaxing listen
Some of it a little hit and miss, but was a good accompaniment to cooking a roast dinner
Top stuff. Father and son is of course a highlight
Wasn't bowled over
Would have been a 4/5 stars as a tight 45min album. Bagginess drops it to a 3.
Good stuff. Court of the crimson king single is a belter of a song
Some good sounds but a bit over long
Fantastic post rock.
Tedious
Liked this a lot
Some good songs in there, but come on, 2hrs. Ain't nobody got time for that
A little on the dull side but gets bonus points for not being 2 hrs long
Its an album of covers, but what covers they are!
An album that suited the busy day I was having.
New to me, but what an absolute blast. Great album
Bland music, annoying interludes
Didn't care for on my first listen. Grew on me during a second listen.
Another set of bangers from Cash
Agreeable listen
At this time of year it's important to remember that the Beastie Boys fought, and quite possibly died, for our right to party
A little overlong but thought most of it was an enjoyable listen
I often enjoy covers, good to hear a different take on the original. Broadly speaking I thought Nelson didn't really add anything new or interesting and some of the covers were actively worse than the original
Noice
Probably not a great album, score is just pure nostalgia
I can hear later albums in this one so I can sense it's influence. However just didn't really enjoy this one
Not too bad
Meh
Where is my mind alone solidifies this as a solid 4*
Been a long time since I've listened to the album in full, holds up excellently
Middle of the road indie
Nice chill album, good soundtrack to cook a rendang to
Good stuff
Hard to dislike
Dragged on a bit
It's alright
Quite possibly the nostalgia filters have come back on, but this is a banger of an album
Some of it was alright but some just got on my nerves
Big fan of the national
One of those albums I can sense is probably quite musically but didn't quite bowl me away as a casual listener
Went in expecting to love this, but it was kinda a bit rubbish?
Started off poorly and quite annoying in places, but there were parts in here that I enjoyed.
C'est chic
Short, sweet and a great listen
Not a bad listen
Standard beastie fare.
I didn't hate it and there were even parts I kinda enjoyed. Still not my cup of tea
Funky
Very bland
Not terrible, but largely forgettable
Inoffensive but largely forgettable
A bit dated, but a decent enough listen
I do like myself some sad hipster music
Wall to wall bangers
Grew on me over the listen
Ok enough I suppose
Maybe Excel didn't quite complement this album in the way it should
It was alright I guess. Of little note.
Extra point for the big muff
Nice chill album, pale blue eye a highlight
A punk album I actually enjoyed
Utterly terrible when trying to focus at work, great listen whilst cooking
Enjoyed some of the songs on here, but felt it was a bit patchy overall
Some obvious bangers, but the album itself felt a bit all over the place
Great voice
Not sure I've ever listened to a Black Sabbath album before. Was pleasantly surprised - good stuff
A cacophony
Not terrible or anything but not particularly distinctive either. One of the fillers in the list imo
Probably a good album hiding in here, but ended up being a bit meandering
Mellow af
Reminds me a YouTube playlist to code to
Saved from a 2 by a couple of decent songs. Just found it a bit dull overall.
Not his best work and just feels a bit OTT American.
A poor Springsteen is still alright, so gets a low 3 from me
Starts off strong with Like a Prayer but then most of the rest of the album feels like filler.
Another low 3 from me.
Maybe it's the recent run of mediocre albums that have melted my brain but I rather enjoyed this one.
Opening with Hotel California I was primed to rate it 4/5. From there it was all a little bit middle of the road dad rock
Another top nostalgia listen for me. It's weird that I first listened to Goldfrapp thanks to Monkeydust.
Anyway, I enjoyed my listen a lot and the album likely to go into the rotation for chilled out listening.
Enjoyed the listen
Bangers and consistent quality throughout. What's not to love
Your musicians were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they never stopped to think if they should
Normally a superfan of mid-noughties indie, but found this a little lacklustre
Just really got on my nerves. Turns out I hate the flute
Song2 is great even if it gets overused.
I do not care for Neil Young
It's alright, don't really have any strong views
Fantastic album which makes it even more of a shame he lost his mind
Good album, but didn't quite win me over
Don't know quite what to make of this.
Weirdly quiet all the way through but some decent listening
Not my cup of tea
A bit slow in places but I enjoyed how chill it is
It's alright I guess
Banging
Listenable but nothing special
Not half bad but I didn't need 2 hours of it
A bit strange but it grew on me a lot
One of those albums I am rating highly because I first heard it in my formative years - I think I first heard Frontier Psychiatrist around 2006/7.
I do think it's a great album though
Heard the occasional song on the radio that I have enjoyed. Album in its entirety also very good
Quite liked it overall, a good sound
I tire of Neil Young
New to me and rather enjoyable
Parts of this I liked, but other parts were on the mediocre side
Perfect for easy listening at the weekend
Always a bit of trepidation when I see psychedelic rock as a genre, but thought this album was great
Jazz that doesn't overstay its welcome
Kinda weird, but in a good way
Neil Young tries his hand at garage. No Neil, no.
It's alright
I'd only heard tiny dancer before (which is a banger), but the rest of the album was enjoyable as well
Just a bunch of unfunny and unenjoyable songs. Absolute crap
An interesting listen - lyrics don't quite match the music if you know what I mean
Didn't enjoy this as much as I thought I would. Not sure why, might need a relisted and reappraisal down the road
Just didn't win me over. Looking at other reviews suggest I should pay more attention to the lyrics but eh
Very generic 90s pop. Toyed with a 2 but decided to be generous
I'm sure it's a classic album that's important in the country cabin but felt more parodic rather than good
Interesting mix of songs perfect for a drive
The opener was a 1 but other parts dragged the overall score up to a 2
Found it a bit dull
Yeah, think I liked this
It's alright I guess
Stevie is overrated. There, I said it. Somebody had to.
Plenty of bangers but didn't quite win me over
Liked some of this, but quite of it's time
Toyed between 4 and a 5. Some great songs but other parts of the album didn't bowl me over
Ahhhh yeah
Top banana
Interesting lyrics when I paid attention, but otherwise nothing particularly special
I think the bangers outweigh the less strong tracks
Would describe as generic 60s music. Moog raga really got on my nerves, dropping this to a 2
Maybe I was in the right mood when I listened to this, but I enjoyed it a lot
It was alright
Top banana
Fun album
Again, not a sophisticated listen, but a fun one
Wall to wall bangers
Whilst living on a prayer is a certified banger, most of the album is just a bit too cheesy for my tastes
Like a lot of metal the lyrics are a bit overdone but the album overall is a banger
I'm just a sucker for noughties indie
Bland and overlong. If I asked an AI to generate a 70s rock album I would be unsurprised if it ended up sounding like this .
Good, but didn't quite win me over to elevate to a 5
"Come on Eileen" was the only song in their oeuvre I was familiar with. Having listened to this album I can understand why.
It's a poor album and certain mumbly bits just pissed me off.
I'm probably being overly generous but I kinda liked this a lot
The finest of noughties indie rock. Played this to death back in the day
It's a bit of a silly album, but not terrible
Consider me underwhelmed
Perfect for a loooong train journey
Nice chill listen. The 1001 project has really made me realise how much I like funk and soul
A little bored with this. Sounded very 60s
Toying between a 3 and a 4. As big band goes it was pretty good, but not my genre I think
An interesting listen, on the cusp of a 4
Toyed between a 4 and a 5. There's some great songs on here, but didn't find myself won over by the album in toto
Drops a little in the middle, but enjoyed this overall
It was alright
Nothing to write home about
Completely unremarkable
A good listen, but didn't enjoy it quite as much as I expected to
A bit all over the place
I just found Elvis Costello's voice incredibly grating all the way through the album. Doesn't help that the only enjoyable song was the last one
A point of contention between myself and the wife is I don't love MJ music. I still recognise it's good, just don't love it.
Perhaps I have a bit of ennui, but whilst I enjoyed this, I didn't think it was 'great'
Not to my tastes and not interesting either
Alright
Good stuff
Yeah, I liked this more than I was expecting
Very 80s. Peaked early, but reasonable throughout
Probably need to review my rating system. This is a solid three, but I think I need to downgrade some 60s rock that I was actually bored by.
Bit of an odd one, but a surprisingly engrossing listen
Bit of a no brainer. Great stuff
A few good songs, but mostly of little note
I'm sure it's an incredibly influential album but to my modern ears I didn't find much of note beyond the first two songs
Really stupid album really, but I did enjoy how daft it was
Really got under my skin but in a bad way. Absolutely hated this album.
Banging
This did nothing for me
Not for me
Enjoyed this more than I expected
Nothing special, but not bad either
Found it a bit tiresome overall
Not too bad
Great stuff
Wow, the free form guitar is something else. Was rather enjoying the album up to that point
Adequate
Very strong start, but found my enthusiasm waning by the end
For some reason went in expecting this to be Motown or something like that. Hit and miss but California dreaming is an absolute banger
No thanks Bert
Went by without really noting it.
I am a sexy boy
A bit naff
Really enjoyed the first album on here, so was looking forward to this. Couple of good songs on here but a bit of a disappointment overall
Opening song was good, but found myself getting progressively bored as the album continued
I'm sure I should be high brow, but I struggled with this album. It was alright in bursts but if I'm being honest I was rather bored throughout the album.
It was alright, but not my cup of tea
Something new and not bad, but more enjoyed for the novelty rather than the actual quality of the music
Resolutely ok.
Took me a little by suprise and perhaps caught me in the right place as I rather enjoyed this
Couple of good songs, but the rest of the album is a bit iffy
Funky stuff
Plenty of bangers. Top stuff
Eh.
Not really my jam and I doubt the intention of the artists was for the music to be enjoyed whilst pottering around on Excel
Whole lotta love is a great song, but less bothered by the rest of the album.
Title track was good, but was a bit bored by the end of the album
Exceptionally dull
Like a lot of the albums it opens strong but then becomes a bit iffy.
It was alright I guess
I just hate Neil Young
I really like some of her other albums such as Born to Die. This was just a bit dullm
I love my autobahn
Good stuff
Unexpected but rather enjoyable
Bitch please
Interesting
Kinda beige but not an unpleasant listen
Enjoyed the sound, but also thought the original versions of the covers were superior
Maybe a bit too left for my tastes
Wasn't as good as I was expecting
Not too bad
Much better than the last Costello album we had, some proper bangers on here
Fine, some good tunes but nothing that special
Difficult one to rate. Strong nostalgia factor, but if I'm being honest the sound is rather tired. Still, Californication is a banger
I just wanted it to end
Pass.
Tempted to give it a 4 after the last couple of albums, but on reflection I'd describe as a solid 3
Good stuff
Chill and I would probably listen again
Enjoyed this a lot
Two thumbs up
Couple of decent songs, but was unmoved by the album overall
Held up well
