Whoever is ‘the poor man’s Beatles’, the Kinks are the poor man’s version of that. Insipid rubbish, don’t know how they’re possibly popular. Even their best song (don’t need to name it) is sort of shit? Imagine making this at the same time that the Beatles and Beach Boys were releasing those records…. Embarrassing.

Jesus stop SHRIEKING!

Another couple of rejected tracks from the N64 Goldeneye soundtrack

Heard one, heard ‘em all

Not really for me. There’s one idea per song, repeated for a few minutes til it’s over. I’m sure some people love this.

I’ve never managed to get in to Bowie, but turns out I really like his later work. This is great, Blackstar was too!

Quite stressful

This album might have had a chance at being good if his voice wasn’t so fucking irritating. Get someone else to sing for you Gary.

No thank you not listening to this

Nice to hear some melodies on a rap (?) album but definitely not my thing

Not as good as many of their contemporaries. Terrible cover of Grapevine. But still a nice sound, a comfortable 3.

This went right through me, totally average. Nice voice, nice songs, but done better by a lot of others.

Oof, dreadful. I hate rap, only managed a track and a half then tapped OUT (motherfucker)

Really disliked this

The beauty of ‘Moving’ still makes me disappointed in everything else by Supergrass, including the second half of the song, but this is fine. It’s quite abrasive so a whole album is a bit much, but there’s some good tunes.

Actually really enjoyed that. Queen know how to write a memorable tune and are never lazy, despite being terminally uncool somehow.

This is better than the other one I had by them, but still, Plant always sounds like he’s about to go ‘ohhh mama’ which must be appropriated from somewhere, and sometimes he actually does it, and it’s just kind of embarrassing. I listened to more of each track than I thought but there’s no way I’d put it on again. Really hope there’s not loads more LZ on the list. 3 stars is GENEROUS. Actually fuck it, 2.

This really needs the film with it. Or something else ;) - would have been higher if it had either.

This is great! I didn’t think I’d enjoy it nearly as much. Well done JA!

RESPEGC!
