Even in punks first generation - people were insistsnt on taking the edge off of it and falling back to pop sensibilities. The Undertones manage this rather tastefully - but part of me can't help but compare it to it's not-so-distant relative pop punk, which I belive to be an overall blemish on the genre.

With that being said - this record isn't all too bad. It's got some fun tracks - just goes on maybe a slight too long.

Difficult. Clearly a talented group, undeniably even. The production in hip hop means a lot to me though - and it so boring here that it drains me a bit.

Enjoyable if a bit stripped back. Has some good moments.

Decent but way too long. Becomes repetitive fairly quickly.

Booooooring. How is this an hour long.

Despite it's popularity, never really been a highlight of young's work for me.

Dire straits first record is sick, and outside of the odd track, that makes this poncy shite such a disappointment.

Alright at points but mainly kind of boring. I've heard better stuff from them.

Sinatra undoubtedly has a good voice, but these songs are just so boring to me that it holds it back. Music can't be carried by vocals alone, and while the instrumentals are often pretty, they aren't enough.

Wicked Jazz record. Like this one a lot.

Nice record, very Greenwich Village in its folkiness.

One of the best 4-stars there is. There's not one part of this album I dislike but some of it's tracks are vastly more memorable than others. The opening 2 and mass production are some of the best, moodiest rock songs ever recorded.

First half was forgettable. Second half was actuslly pretty decent. No one cna deny she's got a unique voice.

Somber and stripped back but very pleasant. Some of Cash's best.

Cool stuff, lot of interesting ideas. Was impressed.

Another record that really upsets me, becuase at its best points it's phenomenal - but it goes on way too long, and some of that time is wasted on fluff.

Very pleasant. Never disliked an S&G record. Hard to find fault with them.

It's fine. I find a lot of these standards to be fairly boring but I can't overly knock them either.

Enos most complete rock-centric album. A lot of fun.

Beginning to agree with claims of Neil Young over-representation... Decent record though.
