Horror electronic jazz fake movie soundtrack…give this a proper chance and you will be rewarded, holy shit.

This is an album which makes me have to consider my rating for a good while. I had to do a second listen through in order to make my decision and it’s going to have to go as a 3/5. I absolutely love just under half of this album…but the rest not so much. With the style of these songs I feel they have to click or not and there isn’t an in-between. The songs which I do dig I put more weight on than the songs which simply do not click with me and so this has to land on a 3/5.

For someone who had a lot of music to express after naturally being stuck behind the wall of McCartney/Lennon, George Harrison really didn’t disappoint. In fact he produced a monster of an album which in my opinion still outshines any other of the post-Beatles solo records.

This album is a full realisation of George Harrison’s talents. Every song is full of life, moving lyrics and amazing instrumental performances.

Cautious about Group Sex, was a bit messy and finished quicker than I thought but a good time was had by all.

I can tell this is a good album but for some reason I’m just not a fan of the sound of the singers voice. It’s not that it’s bad, but more that it’s not for me. I know there’s albums I find to be 5/5 albums that other people would say the same thing for. Unfortunately as good as I could tell this album is, I just couldn’t enjoy it.

This was a 5/5 when I first heard it when I was 15 and unlike a lot of these albums which don’t hold up, this is still a 5/5 now. Still absolutely amazing.

Very close to a five star album for me. Every song is good, but it’s missing one killer hit. I love what sounds like a transitional sound between 80s and 90s, I love the Bowie influence and I was hooked for the whole record. I could well come back to this and see it as a five star album but right now it just falls shy.

There was quite a lot of bongo in this Congo

This was difficult to rate. The mixing was really bad at times completely drowning out the vocals with distortion. At time I couldn’t tell if lyrics were actually being sang! However the tracks either go from okay/passable to really good which makes the mixing a bit of a shame. I thought I’d get bored of this but I kept listening. I would give a 3/5 but because of the mixing I have to give 2.

Reading the reviews here you’d think this is the dullest record on the planet earth but I was happily blown away. It’s subtle, grungey, energetic and accessible in all the right ways. The first song is probably weakest for me which may have turned people off. 4.5/5 rounded up, great stuff!

Street Life (the song) was fantastic and really is the album. The remaining songs are good but are more like a jam. This is a very good one song album

Fantastic album with a lot of energy and positive vibes.

Never been a fan of their music so was expecting to not enjoy this but it was a decent album.

Breaking the Girl and Under the Bridge are high points but the rest kind of blends into one big jam which appealed to me much more when I was 15.

Was not in the right frame of mind for the blues so it’s on me that I give it this score. One day I’ll try it again.
