Rated 4/10
Some of the 28 tracks on this are quite decent.
As an aspiring musician, it is good to hear different ways of making albums and this is a good example of something I wouldn't have thought of doing and never want to do, but not totally terrible!
An excellently produced album and Stuart #1's voice really shines through.
Some really good songs and some OK ones.
Rated 8/10
This still sounds absolutely massive. Absolutely genius production and arrangement.
The lyrics are of their time and uncomfortable to listen to which is a shame because it will have prevented so many people listening to it and experiencing it.
Rated 6/10
Excellent songwriting and performing, can see why this is so highly thought of. Would just need a bit more variety in sound and songs to make it better for me.
Rated 8/10
I absolutely love the "heaviness" they create without loud drums/cymbals or heavy guitars, it's really clever and sounds sooo cool.
My closest album to a 5 so far but not quite every song was super.
Rated 6/10
Some great songs. Can see why there was so much excitement over the band with this debut album.
Rated 6/10
A good album, not great by any stretch. Ash are great songwriters but their style and production make some of songs a little dull.
Love the heaviness of guitars with such a fragile voice!
Rated 8/10
Some superb and original sounding songs on it.
Certainly not back-to-back banger and there are some just unpleasant parts to the album.
But also some songs that sound better today than they did back then.
Rated 8/10
The rockier and more upbeat songs really elevate this album to a great place.
It's not back to back banger but there are some superb songs on it.
Very feelgood throughout. Great uplifting licks and beats on every track. Shame I have to listen to these cars because it's very dance-worthy.
Shame about him being a p.o.s.
Rated 8/10
This album really surprised me. Really strong songwriting and pleasant guitar work throughout.
Rated 6/10
I don't think this album was made to be listened in the car on your daily commute.
5* if I were on some psychotics.
Some very cool riffs but very long.
Rated 4/10
A very difficult album to listen to. The vocals are grating and flat in many of the songs.
However, I did find a couple of the songs earworming my brain afterwards to save it from being a 1*
Rated 6/10
A decent sounding album with some very good songs on it. Didn't like it as much as I thought I was going to to be honest.
Rated 4/10
Very forgettable hair rock. The last song was cool though.
Some decent, listenable songs but a lot of self-indulgent drivel. Way too long and just background noise.
Rated 6/10
Some very cool and original songs. A few misses that sound a bit dated but a great sounding album overall
Rated 8/10
A voice and words that command respect. Beautiful.
Rated 8/10
Superb sound, especially his exploding vocals.
Only thing stopping it being a perfect album is the songs following the exact same formula (but what a formula).
Rated 4/10
A strong second half let down by a frist half with very little substance. Very cool and lovely sounds throughout.
