I enjoyed this album on the whole. It's a shame all the songs sounded the same though

On a side note, I never realised Basement Jaxx used a sample of a Gary Numan song!

Ughhhhhhhh yet again more R.E.M

Whenever I see an album of theirs come up, a part of me dies inside

This is my 4th R.E.M album and I can confirm I still don't like this guys whiny ass singing and the bland songs

Really enjoyed this one!

Terrible voice, but the songs were just so enjoyable you just kind of forget about it. Funny in parts, very entertaining. Some great guitar in there too

I can see why this has a lot of low reviews - this was probably baffling to non-Brits lol

I much prefered this to Natty Dread, which I found to be missing a spark. Even though I didn't really know these songs beforehand

These songs were so chill and I really liked the vibe. A really enjoyable listen

These songs were so nice, I really enjoyed the album!

It's a shame that Neil's voice isn't great. These songs could have been even better

Another band I've never heard of

I did end up recognising A Minha Menina from the car advert lmao, thanks wiki for that little fact!

A pleasant album on the whole, I ended up enjoying it. Easy listening

I weirdly liked this one

Some songs were a bit bland, or had weird lyrics. But the good songs were really good!

Balanced out to an overall enjoyable album

Hee hee!

There are some great songs on this album! I knew half of them - and them songs alone would have been a very easy 5 star

Sadly the other half of the album were just filler. Liberian Girl in particular absolutely killed the vibe

Smooth Criminal will now be stuck in my head for the next 3-5 business days

Not a band I was familiar with previously. I only knew Black Hole Sun

That opening track was a tune! It's a shame the whole album wasn't the same standard. There were parts where it dragged a little bit and got boring

When the songs were good, they were GOOD. So feels unfair to rate it too low

Another poundland Oasis album

Wasn't bad - I enjoyed it, but it all kind of sounded the same? So sadly none of the songs are that memorable

3 ⭐️

This was alright

The problem I had with it though, was that it sounds like many other British bands of the time. Nothing was unique, memorable, or stood out to me. Sounded ok, but just a bit meh

Well this was shite. Super disappointing!!

Bitter Sweet Symphony - classic tune +1 star. Sonnet - another good song, most recently known as that song from an overplayed advert

And that's the only positives I have for this sadly. It was so boring and bland. Sounded like a less successful Oasis

I liked this!

Catchy and just my sort of thing

This was very catchy - Dreamer I'm looking at you

Was never really sure where this album was going. Lots of quiet, piano songs which led into louder parts with loads of instruments

I enjoyed this album and was actually kind of sad when it ended

I listened to this while playing fortnite and I got 25 kills and a victory royale

Fuck yeah

Another Bowie album. Safe to say I wasn't exactly eager to put this one on. Not the worst one of his, but I didn't like it on the whole

It had its moments - I really enjoyed the guitar on Stay! Word On A Wing would have been lovely as an instrumental

But why did he sound like a ghost, wailing over these songs?? Was it the coke? Absolutely terrible, and ruined the songs. The other songs were pleasant enough instrumentally, but it was more like background noise

I've said it before and I'll say it again - would have scored higher with a different singer. Sorry Bowie fans, he's not for me!

I was really enjoying the first song until he opened his mouth

Terrible vocals. The songs quickly went south - presumably as the band got higher/drunker while recording

It ended up becoming a jam session and this guy mumbling his improv

Would have been much better as an instrumental album

Firstly I am so shocked to find out Nothing Compares 2 U is a cover!!!!! I love that song so much, how didn't I find this out sooner?! (I went and listened to the original and Sinéad's is better imo)

Such a unique voice - the acapella song was beautiful. Jump In The River was also a good song, I just wish more of the album had been as upbeat

An okay album overall - not my sort of thing really. Beautiful voice though and some great and powerful lyrics

Rest in peace, Sinéad

Yeehaw 🤠🇺🇸🦅🫡

I enjoyed this one! I knew quite a lot of the songs already, they were soundtracks to our roadtrips growing up

This is my favourite album of Bruce's - but not quite full marks

4 ⭐️

I'd never heard of Ash, and didn't recognise any of their songs. So I went into this album blind

I really really enjoyed it! As soon as that opening guitar started I was thinking oh hell yeah here we go. And it did not disappoint! Honestly such a nice surprise to find on this list. This is my sort of thing
