Rated 8/10
A surprisingly enjoyable listen. I say surprisingly only because I’d never heard of them and wasn’t sure what to expect. A very groovy album with a number of decent tracks even if none really stood out as head and shoulders above the rest. Seem to have borrowed from various other artists of the era but thats not a bad thing.
Rated 6/10
Probably better live than enduring any of their recorded albums
Rated 8/10
Even better than I remember it being at the time. The start of an interest in punk rock which had taken off with Green Day’s Dookie. An interest that has morphed into modern day punk pop through daughter’s music tastes. You can follow a lot of today’s pop punk back to the time of this album and Dookie. Good to hear this one again.
Rated 4/10
So bland and nondescript it’s confusing to think someone has deemed this worthy of being one of the top 1001 albums of all time. It’s seems odd that it was even considered alright when it came out.
Rated 6/10
This is good, for the type of music it is. I think if you’re into this type of music it’s an easy 5 stars. It’s not really my thing though so doubt I’d ever listen to it again but can appreciate it’s better than a lot of its genre.
Rated 6/10
The Smiths are one of those bands where I’m just not sure if I like them or not. Musically it’s very listenable but the sound of Morrisey’s voice just doesn’t do it for me after a while. I think it’s fine when they come out with some bigger numbers or an album broken up with a bit of variety but this one just dragged by the end.
Rated 8/10
Liked this one even more than the previous YYY offering.
Rated 6/10
Great voice but felt like a pretty generic 60’s female singer album.
Rated 6/10
‘‘Twas alright without being spectacular
Rated 6/10
Pleasantly surprised by this one.
Rated 4/10
Another album that feels like it’s been included because of the popularity and past glories of a band when the album itself is poor.
When the quality of the singles is this poor the album completely struggles. At least with previous U2 albums the singles were good enough to raise the overall album. Not with this one though. Dull and bland and reflective of a band well past its best.
Rated 6/10
It was alright. Nothing spectacular but decent enough
Rated 6/10
Can’t say I’ve ever really been a fan of PJ as there’s something about their songs that I just can’t quite get into. It’s not terrible and I’m sure it’s a big deal in the grunge arena but I’m just not a big fan and I doubt I’ll listen to it again.
Rated 4/10
Just pretty dull really
Rated 6/10
Pleasantly surprised by this one. Was expecting the usual 80’s album dirge but actually there were a number of pretty good songs. Not particularly my scene but a lot better than other similar offerings from that time. Definitely a couple of songs I may even revisit again if in the mood for some decent 80’s tunes. Album tailed off a bit towards the end though. Close to a 3.5 album this one.
Rated 6/10
Unfortunately one swallow doesn’t make a summer and as much as Time of the Season tries to save the album it can’t do it all on its own.
It wasn’t terrible but it felt fairly bland. There were lots of other bands at the time making similar music but just doing it better.
Rated 6/10
Usual Beatles frustrations. Hits so much better than the filler songs. Enough decent songs to have made one album and without the nonsense.
Rated 4/10
I didn’t really like this one compared to the other albums of his we’ve had do far.
Rated 4/10
Smooth but just very dull
Rated 4/10
Every song sounded the same and none were interesting at all
