Really nice bit of jangly post punk. The sound is pretty ahead of its time too. Let down a bit by songwriting.

I think this is my favourite hip hop album

Entertaining album! A genre I need to listen to more

Too simplistic at times

First half: 🥱

Second half: kinda cool, why wasn’t the whole album like this ??

Dunno what exactly it is about this album but really enjoyed it.
I think it’s their unique brand of Britpop that mixes in a bit of punk and grunge but also string sections.
I especially enjoyed the last song.
Another band I had heard of but never knew what their music was like until now.

Cool album cover

Really don’t understand why Movin On Up is on this, it sounds nothing like the rest of the album

That said, it is by far my favourite song and made this generally quite boring album a decent amount better.

My guy could fuckin sing

Also some really inventive guitar playing

All the instruments just sound so perfect on this

Can only imagine how good a follow up album could have been

RIP

Found this kinda boring tbf

Glad that’s both the AC/DC albums out of the way now. To be honest I did prefer this slightly to Back in Black, probably because Brian Johnson’s vocals just sound like a bad impersonation of Bon Scott. I also thought Walk All Over You was a pretty good track.

Listening to this album feels very sophisticated. But also really fun. I like it.

Great bit of early 80s new wave. Title track was a standout. Not much more to say.

Pretty good. Felt a bit repetitive at times though. Holiday/Boulevard of Broken Dreams is an all-timer

fuck yeah.

The pure aggression of this record is unmatched.

The production on this is immense. Also there are surely very few people as good at both rapping and singing. This album earns its long runtime more than some previous albums on this list but still drags a bit. The first 4-5 songs were absolutely flawless though, especially Ex-factor, that might be the best r&b song I’ve ever heard.

I really assumed Buffalo Springfield was a country singer for so long.
This album does a lot in its short runtime. Whilst it is a bit of a mixed bag, there are some great songs (expecting to fly, hung upside down)

I found this slightly annoying. And as with other punk records I’m sure it was so cool at the time but just feels dated now. Pretty good songwriting in general though. ‘Identity’ in particular is a great song. I also appreciate the use of saxophone throughout.

WOW. This is great.
Perfect for a Monday morning walk to work cos of the feel good vibes and perfect brisk walking speed tempo.
Maybe lags slightly at the end if I had to find a negative.

If there’s anything I’ve learnt from listening to this record, it’s that I must never stop chooglin’.

This was really quite bland and too long.
