Struggling to think of anything positive to put here.

I wasn't expecting this to be anywhere near a top 1000 albums list.

Angels is a drunken karaoke banger but the rest of the album is flat and uninspiring. I wouldn't even say this is Robbie Williams best project.

A fantastic album I discovered way too late in my life.

It was alright I suppose - I prefer his more uptempo stuff and some of the stuff he produced for other artists

A greatest hits album? 'Veni Vidi Vicious' should have been picked instead.

I like the Hives. It doesn't pretend to be anything it isn't. I don't think they won many song writing awards and I don't think they give a fuck.

Sounds really plain and I enjoyed it less and less as I went on

Although a good album it does have the feel of a band that hasn't really hit their stride yet. The highlights of the albums all involve a deltron 3030 member who add a lot of stability to the album. Gorillaz follow up album, Demon Days, is a much better project.

Tastes like cheap cider and lambert and butler

Enjoyable - and not what I would call a live album in terms of audio quality and crowd noise

Having spent my life having old heads tell me that the Clash are one of the best punk bands, and that London calling is one of the greatest punk albums ever, I have been socially shamed into nodding my head and agreeing.

It's not true. The Clash are massively overrated and this album isn't even their best.

I actually liked this album a lot more than I thought I would. I probably wouldn't want to listen to it again though

Not my cup of tea. I'm sure some people really enjoy this but it is not something I would listen to again. Honestly just felt a bit limp and I didnt think it was very good compared to similar bands/styles.

Fantastic album that still holds up really well. I was a huge fan of punk when I was younger and this album was the first that drew me into the hardcore scene over the pop-punk style that was popular at the time.

I think my musical tastes have changed a lot from when I first heard this album. The headline tracks (Jeremy, Alive, Even Flow and Black) are still really good and the rest of the album is much better than I remembered.

I quite like the alternative hip hop scene although I am fairly new to it and it wasn't something I grew up listening to when I generally formed most of my music taste. This album was very good, felt modern and quite old at the same time.

Seemed okay - almost classic jazz (is that a thing?) Easy to appreciate the quality of the music but just not really my thing.

No notes required, it's my favourite album and I listen to it multiple times a month.

There are parts of this album which are unbelievably good, especially when you consider how old it is. However there are bits that are dated and hearing Little miss strange kick in for the first time is jarring and in general the middle part of the album is a bit of meandering mess. The beginning and end though are outstanding.

One of my favourite ever albums. It's a timeless masterpiece.

I know the album quite well having heard it a lot when it was released. Still sounds pretty good on re-listen. It's a bit emo but probably the best album I've heard that came out of the nu-metal thing in the early 2000's. Gets a higher score probably for the sheer nostalgia value.
