Rated 8/10
Ubiquitous though SNA is, it's still a banger. It's aged a lot better than I thought as a whole. Where the songs are upbeat it's still a rip-roaring rock album. Quieter, meg led, downtempo and acoustic tracks don't hit so hard. It could've been a perfect record if a tiny bit shorter?
Rated 4/10
Bloated song lengths, oversexualised, obsessed with violence and pointless intro and interlude skits; as per usual I find east coast hip hop and gangsta rap to suffer the same ills. When I find a track I like, I can enjoy it very well, but most stuff on here that just washed over me. Flow is great as is the rhyming around vowel sounds, just the lyrical content turns me off so badly.
Rated 6/10
Lots of catchy songs, but that's not necessarily meaning you'll have a good experience. The tracks with Shara Nelson are the highlight. Other vocalists are misses. I don't REALLY get trip-hop/downtempo, but guess this must have sounded mental in 1991.
Rated 4/10
It's very spotty; like most Muse fans. It has plenty of bad Depeche mode and queen pastiches. Some moments are likeable but not loveable. Exo-politics onwards is forgettable as. Knights of Cydonia brings it back around a bit.
Rated 8/10
Great, sags towards the end - Witch Hunt does nothing for me, Vital Signs never gets into top gear but still enjoyable and Camera Eye is a bit drawn out but not so much so to be unlikeable.
