So surprised I liked this so much. Campy and cheesy but so much fun.

Equator

4.1/5

Big yawn from me

2/5

So much worse than Nevermind in my books. But it still has a lot of highlights.

Fave Tracks: Heart-Shaped Box, Frances Farmer Will Have Her Revenge on Seattle, Dumb, Pennyroyal Tea, All Apologies

3.5/5

It's a good record, and I have always loved Starman, but I do think its a bit overrated. A lot of tracks give a very similar energy, which isn't necessarily bad, but for a 5 star album I think it needs some more transcendent high points.

Fave Tracks: Soul Love, Starman, Lady Stardust, Ziggy Stardust, Suffragette City

4.2/5

Pretty fun album

3.7/5

Fuckadoodle do this was so good. Such beautiful and primitive musicianship dressed up behind this bizarre character of Dr John the Night Tripper.

Fave Tracks: Gris-Gris Gumbo Ya Ya, Jump Sturdy, I Walk on Guilded Splinters

4.7/5

Very bloated, almost the opposite of Rumours; packed full of tracks that are fine but very few standouts. Kinda reminds me of early Paul McCartney solo stuff oddly. Some nice production but a lot of ideas that don't develop as much as they probably should.

3.3/5

Ok, feels like it’s trying to be edgy

2.9/5

Pretty cool. I like these guys. But The Cutter is clearly the best track.

3.5/5

Pretty much a good album. Not sure it needs to be on the 1001.

3.7/5

This was actually quite fantastic. The Who are so hot and cold for me. I can't stand Tommy. Who's Next is epic. The live album is a total waste of time. This is quirky in a very self aware and charming way.

Fave Tracks: Armenia City in the Sky, Odorono, Our Love Was, I Can See For Miles, Silas Stingy, Sunrise

4.3/5

Tastes like good wine. A very satisfying album experience.

Fave Tracks: Shine On (all the parts), Wish You Were Here

4.5/5

Really really really meh if you ask me. The early Beatlemania era music is so bland, maybe thanks in part to them evolving creatively over the years as a comparison. You can basically just take the choruses from the two big singles here and leave everything else.

2.9/5

Didn’t expect much from this. I only know Teenage Fanclub from the fantastic Everything Flows (which isn’t on here), but I thought this was a very solid experience.

3.8/5

Boring.
2/5

It's kinda fun and some of the production is very clean, but also I don't really want to listen to any of it again.

Fave Tracks: Mongoloid, Shrivel-Up

3/5

Thought I would be way more to into this, but really found it quite dull

2.6/5

Surprisingly good. Lots of interesting musical ideas here. Still also pretty cheesy.

Fave Tracks: Antmusic, Los Rancheros

3.6/5

Okay, but mostly just sludgy boring indie rock

3/5

A modern classic, maybe my favourite British rap album tbh.

Fave Tracks: Offence, Boss, Selfish, 101FM, Pressure, Sherbet Sunset

4.5/5
