Strange inclusion I feel. Not bad but just a bit of a headscratcher

3/5

Live album = I’m not really interested. But I can appreciate that a grateful dead jam would’ve been a good time.

2.5/5

Another Kinks album, this one pretty boring if you ask me.

2.6/5

Reminds me of the Avalanches before the Avalanches. Stereolab before Stereolab. This is cool as piss.

Fave Tracks: Only Love Can Break Your Heart, Girl VII, Spring

4.3/5

Great album tbh, super beautiful

Fave Tracks: Cowboy Movie, Traction In The Rain, Orleans

4.6/5

I like representation of Bollywood but this one didnt do much for me

2/5

Enjoyed this more than expected. But still not much.

2.6/5

The Broad Majestic Shannon is exactly Fairytale of New York. Classic Jesus and Mary Chain move. You have to respect it.

2.4/5

First 3 tracks are really good. The rest doesn't quite do it for me.

3.7/5

This didn't really captivate me much. I find the Smiths just a bit too dreary.

Fave Tracks: Barbarism Begins at Home

3.2/5

I didn't like any of the first four tracks. The much quieter English Rose was the first standout track, a beautiful little ballad. Indifferent to a lot of it after that, but of course Down In The Tube Station At Midnight rocks, excellent bass riff, and a good closer.

Fave Tracks: English Rose, Down In the Tube Station At Midnight

3.2/5

This album starts hot with the 3 big hitters, but stays strong throughout. A very consistent vibe.

Fave Tracks: Smooth Operator, Your Love is King, Hang On To Your Love

4.4/5

Ohh that's this song moment (Street Life).

Jazzy and fun.

3.7/5

Lazy Sunday is corny as all hell. This album started kinda cool and then became very British pastoral in a way I don't particularly like. The spoken word passages just feel weird for me.

2.9/5

Very cleanly produced

3.5/5

Just not finding this as special as it’s supposed to be.

Tangled is good, shelter is ok, and the rest is all quite decent but not captivating me sonically.

3.1/5

Very good album from Neil, maybe his finest. Certainly don’t think there are any bad tracks, but it also feels slightly lacking in finesse to be a 5 for me.

Fave Tracks: Heart of Gold, Old Man

4.3/5

Somewhere between bad and bland

2/5

Why is the mix quality on Spit On It so much worse than Up Against the Wall Motherfucker? Its quite a jarring jump from the first track to second.

I like the attitude of this album.

Fave Tracks: Up Against the Wall Motherfucker

3.9/5

More Than A Feeling is my 451st favourite song of all time. It's a bit of a guilty pleasure, but its just so damn good.

Foreplay / Long Time is kinda fun. Maybe I just need to stop trying to be cool and embrace that I like this. Why this works for me and something like Def Leppard or Bon Jovi or Aerosmith doesn't I can't really say.

I'm feeling generous.

Fave Tracks: More Than a Feeling, Foreplay / Long Time, Smokin', Hitch a Ride

4.5/5
