Nice surprise to see this hear. I bought this back in the day from a second hand CD shop as I was a big Company Flow fan, but it didn't do a great deal for me at the time. 20 years or so later it's much more resonant with me and still stands up remarkably well - a golden era for underground hiphop

Grey Seal goes hard

Digged this much more than I expected

The McCartney collab is a bit naff and I've never really liked the title track but there's some all-timers here. Sounds fantastic too, crank it up on some good kit

Pretty good, but nothing to wow 3*

It's alright I guess

Made it through. Nothing bad about it particularly but it's sooooooo long. Pick any random tracks from this to make a 45 minute playlist and you'll have a far better experience

Expected to like this more :\

3*

This is great. Win Butler may be an arsehole (and some) but there's no denying AF's 2000's output

meh

Some classics but my least favourite Bowie from this era 4*

Enjoyed this more than I anticipated, not going to change anyone's life but some chilled country-folk

Some of the best songs ever written, sung by one of the best ever singers.

Some of the best Beatles songs, some of the worst. Never not interesting

The jam band stuff is pretty bad but the rest is great. Had only heard My Sweet Lord before, glad I've checked it out properly

Great songs, although maybe feels a little like a transitional record between Nevermind and what was to come next. A sad listen.

Dang, so good. How cool does Bob look on the cover here too? Haven't listened to this since uni.

Wildly exuberant, inventive and exciting, possibly the Beasties best effort. Still know most of this inside-out after endless plays as a teenager. 5*

In my head this was always considered a "lesser" Massive Attack album at the time (possibly misremembering...), but it's an exceptional album really. The Tracey Thorn features are the best for me, but it's all good. 5*
