New Boots and Panties!!

I think he's unique - he doesn't sound like anyone else and instantly recognisable. That said, the opener might be the most off-putting opener I've had on the list so far, and it is frequently irritating. Prefer the more punky sounding songs.

I appreciate the weirdness in it and the musical variation.

Pre Listen:
Never heard of them, the album title and cover doesn't really pop, good or bad. No expectations.

Notable Tracks:
Wake Up And Make Love With Me - :/ :L :(
Blockheads - That synth part sounds like fart. Fart from a butt. I don't know if that's intentional or not. I think it was intentional.

Post Listen:
That was a painful listen. It wasn't completely unlistenable, but it was damn close to it. The musical components were alright for the most part. Like the guitar, drums, bass, additional instruments etc. were all well done enough.

The horrid part (as with many such cases) was the vocals and lyrics. Edgy for edgy sake. Like a 6th grader trying to be as graphic and offensive as possible just to piss of anyone who dares engage with them. Overall reminded me of Frank Zappa and his many bands, if Zappa was a Brexit geezer who idolized punk. I didn't really enjoy a single song, even a little bit.

Bounced between a 1 and 2 as I listened, and originally was going to give a 2, out of respect for the folks on the instruments. After re-listening to a few songs I thought I enjoyed a bit closer, the lyrics are so distractingly stupid, I gotta give it a 1/5.

Sometimes in group projects, a single contributor bombs so hard it genuinely fucks over everyone else, despite their best efforts.

This was really good. I really enjoyed this.

I'm getting tired of this challenge, man.

I thought I could broaden my horizons. I love music, deeply so. Not a day goes by where I don't put on a catchy track or a song that means the world to me. But I've always just been someone who enjoys music sporadically. I thought this challenge would change that.

I don't think I've developed any further musical listening skills over the duration of this challenge so far. There is so, so much bland or outright offensive shit on this list. So much pretentious twattery that it makes me want to imagine putting a gun to my head, pulling down the trigger, and watching my brain matter drip down the walls. There is nothing more true than the age old adage of "ignorance is bliss." For I have been exposed to the worst of humanity's musical sins.

Anyway. Today's album is a bit shite.

This is truly fantastic, one of those records where there's something new around every corner, like this has to be the only album ever to open on a disco track and close on a hardcore punk track. Has so much personality and also a very solid band performance

This is completely unhinged. It’s more of a cultural artefact than an album. So I agree it should be on the list, but I can’t say I enjoyed it.

Imagine this soundtracked the BBC’s office parties in the 80s.

Musically, it’s a bop. Lyrically it makes me feel queasy.

I’m going to give the guy the benefit of the doubt and assume the lyrics are from the perspective of characters rather than Ian being an absolute creep.

honestly i could've died without ever hearing this album

Ian you dirty bastard. This was great!

Shit from a butt.

Solo por "Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll" ya merece la pena este disco. Nunca me apreció gran cosa, la edad me ha hecho apreciarla en su justa medida.

Pretty nice.

The only song from Dury I’ve ever heard was the theme song for the tv show The Secret Diary Of Adrian Mole that he did. Love the song and the show so I was interested going into this.

There are some great songs on the album but there are also some that I didn’t enjoy at all. There are tracks I will definitely listen to again but it’s doubtful I ever listen to the album as a whole after today.

Top Track - Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll

could be a 1

Every song on this is funny and actually pretty enjoyable music. The problem with funny music is that subsequent listens don't really hit the same way. It's kind of why albums and artists like this get branded as "novelty" and never really rise to the top.

Geezer core. All rude banter, character studies in pub blokes, goofy singalongs, and tipsy accordion. The warm ale of music. Possibly the most English album of all time.

A bit of a silly album, but in a good way. It drew in my attention right away by getting me to laugh out loud during the first song. Overall, there is nothing groundbreaking here, but I enjoyed it well enough.

Gave up on the last few tracks. Just don’t like his voice at all and the instruments aren’t saving this.

Funny, entertaining, with a sharp sense of humour, and featuring the classic Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll... how can anyone remain indifferent to this?
