Rated 10/10
An absolute joy, and an album I have enjoyed since the day it came out, when my sister bought it and taped me a copy! A bit of a shame that digital versions can't have a "hidden track", especially when it is one of the best (and was the lead single).
Well worth a place in the book - a brilliant suggestion
Rated 10/10
Yes!!!
This needs to be in the book, along with (probably) all of their other work.
Rated 8/10
Exceptionally Welsh, and very very good. Sounds like SFA and Ash, but never so much that it sounds derivative - just hints of influence.
A real treat which I had never heard before - thanks for suggesting it!
Rated 8/10
Very good, if perhaps a bit dated. Probably not the album of theirs I would suggest - I prefer the début - but a band well worthy of inclusion in a future edition (or the book of 1,001 suggestions when we get there!)
Rated 10/10
Wonderful, from an artist I have admired from the start
Rated 8/10
The aussie Guns n roses, in a good way
Rated 8/10
A great idea for an album, and a lovely touch to have the lyricist's voice on a few tracks as well.
Musically there's plenty of variety in the tracks, and i enjoyed listening on a loop for much longer than I might have expected to.
Good to have more music outwith the usa/uk music scenes too.
Rated 8/10
Sounds like a compilation album of different artists - in a good way. An album I would never have heard (or heard of) before, and enjoyed massively, so thanks to whoever nominated it!
Rated 10/10
Un album rempli de belles chansons, de voix magnifiques et de choix d'instruments parfaits. Je l'aime !
Un joli rappel que je devrais essayer de visiter l'Afrique de l'Ouest francophone.
Rated 8/10
Mostly sounds like three or more songs being played at the same time - but it works more often than you'd think.
An artist I knew by name, but hadn't listened to a full album until today - so thanks!
All the genres, all at once.
Rated 8/10
Weird and wonderful
Rated 6/10
Beck without the talent. Worth a listen, but didn't inspire me to explore any of his other (many) albums.
Rated 2/10
Absolutely pish. Like the worst dubstep songs re-recorded by children, with lyrics by barely literate toddlers.
Must be one of the worst albums I have ever heard.
At least it's short
Rated 10/10
Hell yeah
Rated 8/10
American indie from a time when grunge was everything
Rated 8/10
Lee "scratch" Perry
Rated 10/10
All of the songs (except maybe Adam's song) sound pretty similar, but I like the song they all sound like! Often silly, regularly fast, the sound of my high school and the years that followed. I counted, and think I have covered over half these songs in one band or another. This is more a sign of time and genre than quality, but still interesting (to me at least)!
Rated 6/10
One huge hit, one other good song, and a bunch of (surprisingly good) filler.
Rated 6/10
An album out of time; fully 15 years later than I would have guessed from hearing it first. I enjoyed it, without ever finding the bit extra that would elevate it beyond 3 stars.
Also, the title track is a transposed and slowed down version of Teenage Kicks - the fact they got away with it shows how little attention they must have gained outside of their hometown.
And finally, they should absolutely never swear; neither singer has the accent for it, and it just sounds weird when they do.
