Rated 6/10

Not much of a britpop guy but I enjoyed this album. Nice guitar tone and melodies and solid lyricism. I'd listen again.

Rated 6/10

Bittersweet Symphony is a throwback hit. This is like a slower, proto-Muse. Its pretty inoffensive.

Rated 10/10

An absolute classic. One of my favourite albums growing up, and listening again showed me why. Only change since 20 years ago is that I enjoyed the longer, gentler, more contemplative songs more than when I was younger. Loved it, from start to finish

Rated 8/10

This was one of the best albums of the genre around that time. Especially when they slow down, with Bittersweet Symphony, Sonnet, Lucky Man and Drugs Don't Work they're at their best.
Good album. Not great. 3,5*

Rated 6/10

Listenable. Very of it's time. Bittersweet Symphony stands out. Nothing else really grabs me.
