I thought this album had a great alt-country sound that is 10 years ahead of its time. However, except for a couple great songs the writing was mediocre.

Rated 6/10

Maybe I would’ve enjoyed more on another day but it wasn’t the vibe I wanted for cycling to work.

I’m not a fan of live albums at the best of times, so it doesn’t help that the audience is way too loud in the mix here.

As britbop albums go I thought this had quite a unique sound but just didn’t really stick with me

Don’t really get why he’s so popular, I feel like there’s artists nowadays doing this genre better. Also I heard him singing about a ‘little girl’ on 2 different songs and any more than 1 is too much.

Slightly better than the other g-funk album we’ve had so far (the chronic) but still can be annoying and a bit repetitive. There are some really good standout tracks on here though, Murder was the case is a particular favourite.

From the cover and the description in the book I was prepared for this album to be awful. Whilst that may have been true for the latter half of the album, I did quite enjoy some of the first few tracks.

Usually I’m not that into classic punk but this was actually great. Unlike the other bands from this time like the sex pistols and ramones I think it holds up pretty well today.

Would of given it 2 stars but that second-to-last song single-handedly bumps it up to a 3

One of the best metal albums I’ve listened to. Although that’s not particularly saying much as I don’t listen to much metal. It was also surprisingly melodic for a thrash metal album. The guitar solos were insane and just generally the lead guitar work was on another level.

Difficult to compare this to anything I’ve heard before. So many different ideas and genres brought together, yielding fascinating but inconsistent results.
