Sounds like about half the country was involved at some point - a dazzling range of voices and instruments. Pleasant enough musically, perhaps lyrically lacking a little.

I liked this a lot, but didn't quite love it. Plenty interesting songs, but maybe just missing a wee bit of magic.

Pretty boring and unoriginal, but not actively bad. Probably scores a second star largely because of how terrible other albums on the list are! Far from essential listening though - just another sad American who knows 4 chords

Awesome, like a whole bunch of my favourite bands all jamming together - from Dark Star and King Gizzard ... to Pink Floyd and At The Drive-In. Possibly my new favourite band. Well worthy of a place in the book, and a band I am looking forward to exploring more fully

Like The Levellers and The Mighty Mighty Bosstones having a party, and a great laugh. Not quite good enough musically for full marks, but great fun and a band I hope to explore more if I finish the user list!

Sometimes pretty good, bordering on conscious, hip-hop; other times it sounds like a producer show-reel (which it kind of is). Cracking guests though

Mad as a box of frogs, and a whole heap of fun. I sometimes worry about the brain that created Lemon Demon, but not for long!

A lot of fun, albeit not particularly original. Sounds like all the bands they supported on tour - but I like those bands!

Not an album. Also really bad dance / edm, so it would score poorly anyway, but most importantly it is just not eligible

A long way short of their best work. Sounds pretty cheesy a lot of the time, with only a few moments of genius. What a band though, and probably an interesting suggestion - if only to show more of their work outside of the well-known classics.

Great fun, without too much substance.

Hell yeah! A great album, from a time in my life when I was exploring this style of music, and I knew just enough German that it didn't matter that genius.com didn't exist yet! Heavy and hard, and an album that demands to be played loud - what's not to love!

Cheesy over-produced hyper pop, absolutely not my scene. A few interesting moments, but not very good most of the time. Not actively terrible, but a long way from good.

Very fun, with a great variety of styles and influences. I didn't understand a word, but somehow that didn't matter.

Desperate to be RTJ - which is no bad thing to aim for even if, as these guys do, you fall a wee bit short

Punk AF

Great fun

Chilled

Scotland! Also really good, but the Scottish bonus point is what gets it full marks
