Rated 10/10

Astounding! What arresting sound! It feels cool and dark and frenetic and wonderful. Even two songs in and I have a hard time imagining not loving the rest of the album. And I loved it.

Rated 4/10

Not very into this album. It's like someone took all the fun out of an Arctic monkeys album

Rated 4/10

Yet another ex-1001 album!

It was alright.

I can see why it was originally added to the 1001, noteworthy due to it being by a contemporary "supergroup", alas, in this case, time has proved that the sum isn't greater than its parts.

Rated 8/10

I had no idea this was a thing. It's quite well-formed and catchy.

Rated 8/10

Another album from my biggest blind spot, didn't know of them, never heard it before. Really liked it! Will listen again.

Rated 4/10

The big retro arrangements are putting lipstick on a pig. Same goes for the album cover. And an ironic joke for a title? Har har har... Holy fuck there must be eight dozen albums from 2008 alone that deserve to be on the list in place of this one.
