On the whole a lovely little album. A nice contrast to some of the other albums on here. Let down in places by the sax but a really nice find this one.

Not as bad as I was expecting.

Quite self indulgent but a lot of it is quite good. I think.

They weren’t wrong. It was a real chore to get through it. Very dull.

I’ve come to the conclusion that metal is clearly best experienced live. Really liked this album but probably wouldn’t have as much of a recorded album.

Some of this was not unpleasant but I’m just not into the country sound.

Seems pretty standard Fela stuff

Started off very strongly with Ramble Tamble but the rest of the album didn’t quite live up to that opener. Some good songs, some not quite so good.

Sweet Emotion always reminds me of one of my favourite films, Dazed and Confused, so I was looking forward to this album based on that. Unfortunately the rest of the album didn’t really live up to my hopes with most of the songs nothing particularly special.

You can tell the difference in this and post-Richey Manics. This feels better than some of the better known later stuff. Some quite dark lyrics highlighting his state of mind at the time. Not sure if I would call it an enjoyable listen at times but not a bad effort.

Strange one, and not necessarily in a good way. Felt like it wanted to be like ‘War of the Worlds’ in places. Not sure who the target audience for this would be. Certainly not me!

Just too experimental and too much of a departure from their previous music. Thom’s voice just grates on this a lot. Instrumentally the album would have been better without any vocals.

It was alright, didn’t blow me away but was decent enough. Not sure I’d listen to it again in a hurry though.

Really liked this one when it came out and still do. Ok not all songs keep the attention but on the whole a really good sound. Certainly an album I revisit from time to time

I can imagine this album must be amazing if stoned. But I’m not and frankly it’s just not really the sort of music I’d choose to listen to. Ok so it’s got some good laid back vibes but I just can’t listen to over an hour of the same repetitive sound. And I’m not prepared to start taking drugs in order just to get on board with it.

Not unpleasant but found myself getting a bit bored the longer it went on. Some decent stuff and fairly laid back vibes. Completely different to the only Flaming Lips album I own which had a bit more life to it. I think I preferred that album.

Quite hard to rate this one. There were elements of it I really liked and others that I really didn’t. Going hot have to go down the middle for this one.

Smooth samba jazz. Laid back and chilled out. Not a big fan of jazz but this has its place.

Nice laid back vibes, a very welcome relief after the Germs album.

I know it’s punk and it’s supposed to sound like that but my god that’s hard work. Guaranteed to give you a headache and not in a good way.
