Rated 6/10
I doubt I would have ever listened to this album if it wasn’t for this site, and I’m glad I did. At its best it gives portishead / Massive attack vibes, but there’s two or three too many elements/genres trying to be mixed in here for it to fully work.
Rated 8/10
Not my favourite of the Berlin albums but still a very enjoyable album.
Rated 4/10
Maybe there’s a time and place I’d enjoy this album but it’s not right now.
Rated 6/10
Enjoyed it, but almost certainly won’t go back to it either.
Rated 8/10
The first side of this album is amazing. It looses steam a little in the second half but that doesn’t take away too much from my enjoyment of it. The production and mix, at least on the 2012 reissue I listened, was great. A really good sounding album
Rated 4/10
Not listened to this before and although there are a few great tracks I can’t say that I enjoyed it overall. Feels like they’re still working out what their style is at this point.
Rated 4/10
Top tip. Change your phones output to mono before listening. Otherwise you get the completely unhinged production.
There’s a few great songs on here, but it’s so mixed that I couldn’t quite get past the ones that didn’t work.
Rated 4/10
The few Jonny Marr hits aren’t enough to rescue this for me. Never been into the smiths and this hasn’t changed my mind
Rated 4/10
Just couldn’t get into this one
Rated 6/10
Good album. Don’t think I’d listen again. The double album format made it feel a bit unfocused.
Rated 8/10
Very pre-pixies /country punk.
