In a similar vein to yesterday’s B&S album there were some songs I liked and others not so much.

Pleasant in places, dull in places. Straight down the middle then.

Interesting listen. Some good moments in there.

Pretty standard ES based on what we’ve already had.

I don’t think I’ve ever listened to this album but it’s brilliant. I love the slightly more chilled out vibe but it’s just so melodic and catchy. Regretting not checking this out sooner.

Probably a decent offering if you’re into that thing and a good example of that type of music from that era. Just find it hard to keep my attention with that type of album.

The only thing I really remember about Mercury Rev is the local community copper telling Sul off for wearing one of their T-shirts to college as it had a swear word on.

However listening to this now with a cheap bottle of red wine I feel I missed out a bit. Really enjoyed it.

A melting pot of different styles and influences but all in all an enjoyable listen.

A real assault on the senses but I guess that’s the point. I really liked this album and hard to believe it was made in 1970. Another great offering from Iggy and the Stooges.

Who doesn’t like a samba on the beach! Not so keen on this album though.

Kind of fun but also bonkers.

Well it’s a good listen. Every song pretty much sounds the same which lets it down a bit but it’s still a decent album.

What a great album. Seems slightly ahead of its time and a nice mix of grunge and shoegaze, grungegaze if you will.

The more listens I gave it the more songs grew on me. Nice find and will be revisiting.

It’s like a Fun Loving Criminals cover band, for some unfathomable reason, decided it was a good idea to try and make their own music.

Look, we know CA can sing but that couldn’t really elevate this album above the mediocre.

I tried to like this but just couldn’t really. It just didn’t really do anything of note and by the end felt like it was just dragging to its inevitable conclusion.

Very long! And all very similar. Couple of redeeming features towards the end when I had all but give up hope.

Got slightly better as it went on but didn’t find it anything particularly special or attention grabbing and overall rather dull.

Not sure if the ringing in my ears is from my existing tinnitus or from listening to this. It’s not terrible but I couldn’t really discern one track from the next. Nothing particularly stood out.

Like listening to radio one again! I could see why the hits were hits but the rest was pretty poor.
