Best McCartney work since the Beatles! Always knew the first 2 songs but not really the rest of the album. Liked a lot of this one and a number of very good songs which I will listen to again. Felt somewhere between the Beatles and the Frog Chorus which I guess makes sense. A steady and pleasant effort.

Some decent songs but none that really stood out. A solid album as a whole though. Probably won’t listen to it much again though. Always going to be hard for an album like this to stand out against all Bowie’s previous works.

Quality album, up there for me. Ok so Nico’s voice get grate a bit but when the rest of the songs are as good as they are that can be overlooked.

Not the worst thing I’ve heard in this list

All a bit too meh really

Not the worst album, some songs a lot more listenable than I was expecting.

Wanted to rate this higher than 3 stars but ultimately just wasn’t really feeling it. Some good songs but not too many that really stood out as great. Probably a 3.2 rounded down to 3 stars.

The early funky numbers were far better thank the later songs. Evened each other out a bit.

It is what it is, I have no real thoughts on it as it’s not really my type of music. Some nice vibes but equally lengthy and uninspiring in places. Probably a 2.64 so rounded up to a 3

Wow, now that was something quite different! Not quite sure how to rate it as it’s impossible to compare with anything else we’ve had on this list so far. Musically it’s clearly a 1 star album but they’re getting a bonus point for originality.

Nice vibes but just very repetitive

Some of this was alright but overall not a big fan. Not really the Who style of music I prefer. Despite plenty of duff numbers there are probably enough half-decent songs to bump it up to a 3 star rating. Closer to 2.75 but rounded up.

An extremely tough listen. Like listening to someone scrape their nails down a blackboard 🤮

A few good moments, general vibe was ok, nothing that will change the world. Sounded like a lot of other similar equally generic bands from the last few years though.

Simply a beautiful, beautiful album. So stripped back but this just adds to the beauty of the album and considering his state of mind at the time it just makes it more impressive.

I’m really liking listening to Nick Drake and I’m just annoyed its taken my until nearly 50 years old to discover this!

Never listened to this one. My interest in Pulp had wained with Different Class which was a shame as His n Hers was one I really liked at the time and still includes my favourite Pulp songs.

So I wasn’t sure what to expect with this one but was fully expecting to dislike it. I was wrong. I really quite like the style of music they found on this which I wasn’t expecting. A lot calmer and musically much more interesting than the previous album. Things of similarity to Suede with their post-Britpop offering but much preferred this one.

Not much more can be said other than it is a magnificent album that fully deserves its place on this list. One of those rare ones that is just really enjoyable and great to listen to all the way through.

Hard not to enjoy this offering. All the beeps and blings just work and the album flows and feels eminently listenable. Will have to revisit this one I think.

Dan at uni would have been all over this but we never took him and his must tastes seriously. However….

As much as this is clearly big haired, big stadium rock it is actually surprisingly listenable. Pretty much every song has melody and gets the toes tapping. Not music that’s going to change the world but got to give credit where it’s due, they created something here that is an enjoyable listen.

Sorry for doubting you Dan. I still draw the line at Bon Jovi though.

Not a bad effort. Quite enjoyed it early doors but my interest did wane the longer it went on.
