Rated 2/10
This was poor, loud, and pointless noise with over sexualized lyrics.
With reagrds to the tracks nothing stood out. I am guessing this made the list as its very early punk and at the start of the era.
Favourite song: None
Least favourite: All of them, its a poor album
Album artwork: meh
Rated 8/10
This is a great album. The The have a great sound that feels unique. Another example of why the 80s was so good.
Favourite song: Perfect
Least favourite: Not a bad one on the album
Album artwork: Cool cover
It was allright, as good as an Eric Clapton album can be. Layla is a fantastic riff and song though
I think if I had to sum up this album and Claptons career I would say generic classic rock
Favourite song: Layla
Least favourite: every song is a little meh
Album artwork: I love the cover
Rated 10/10
Having seen Elvis Costello play an acoustic show recently I was very excited to listen to this album again!
I started to play this album on Monday morning at 9:30 and welcome to the working week came on loud!, great song, and a great welcome to another week.
So many good songs on this album, I love Blame it on Cain, Alison, and the angels wanna wear my red shoes. This is just a fun pop album that is easy to listen to.
Favourite song: The entire album is superb
Least favourite: There is not a bad song on the album
Album artwork: Cool cover
Rated 2/10
Not for me, It sounds like the sound track to Aladdin 2!! I did enjoy some of the music and I appreciate the change in vibe and being taken out of the comfort zone but I won’t be listening to this again.
Favourite song: Aalach Tloumouni
Least favourite: The rest of the album
Album artwork: Not one I will be hanging up at home
Rated 4/10
Rock that borders onto metal is not my thing. There are a couple of good songs on this album but that is about it!
Favourite song: Zombie eaters was a good song out of a bad bunch and I liked the cover of War Pigs but it doesnt touvh the original.
Least favourite: The rest of the album
Album artwork: Cool cover
Rated 10/10
What an album. I have always loved this from my first listen 30 years ago to now. You couldnt make ths album better. From a Beatles perspective it can only be beaten by Revolver
Getting better, a day in the life and Lucy in the sky with diamonds are perfect songs.
Favourite song: All of them
Least favourite: Everything is perfect
Album artwork: Iconic labum cover
Rated 6/10
I did enjoy this, it is great background 80 electronic music. Lots of Synths and some fantastic baselines.
Favourite song: Pacific 202
Least favourite: nothing to hate, there are some great sounds and tracks on this album
Album artwork: Cool cover
Rated 2/10
This album sounds like all R&B albums. It could be anyone, singing anything. Very meh. This one is particularly bad. I have no idea how it made the list.
Favourite song: I couldn’t pick one
Least favourite: All tracks
Album artwork: Meh
Rated 10/10
Awesome album, an album I was not expecting much from but really enjoyed and will listen to it over and over again.
This album can easily be background music or an album to really pay attention too. It has it all.
Musically there is some great drumming on this album!.
Favourite song: I have always loved safe from harm and unfinished sympathy but discovered day dreaming and blue lines through this challenge. So many great tunes.
Least favourite: None
Album artwork: Love the cover
Rated 10/10
This album is cool. Really good in fact.
The sound felt new and different, and the tracks showed variation. I really enjoyed this.
Favourite song: So many to choose from, I really enjoyed solid ground, Piano joint, and Hero. Every song was great in its own right
Least favourite: Nothing to pick here
Album artwork: Cool cover
Rated 6/10
I thought this album was a lot earlier than 2007.
Where is my mind is a great tune. Its a good album. Not the type of album I would listen to lots but I would listen again.
Favourite song: where is my mind
Least favourite: River Euphrates
Album artwork: Cool cover
Not more Simon & Garfunkel!!!!
I find it hard to find any enthusiasm to listen to any of Simon & Garfunkel work. The music is slow, passive and boring. In short, it's a dull album full of passive songs that you dont really care about or pay attention to.
Favourite song: homeward bound
Least favourite: most of the album is boring
Album artwork: lame
Rated 4/10
An average album, one that can be easily put on and forgotten about as it is playing.
The album had some nice moments like Court and Spark and help me, but I did not enjoy the moments of Jazz that seemed to run throughout the album.
Favourite song: Court and Spark
Least favourite: Twisted
Album artwork: I like the cover
Rated 10/10
What an album of storytelling. A clear five out of five, even allowing for my obvious bias when it comes to The Boss.
This is such a stark shift away from the sound of the E Street Band. It is stripped back, intimate and haunting. Just voice, guitar and atmosphere. It feels like Springsteen meeting Johnny Cash and Bob Dylan somewhere on a lonely highway. The production is minimal but the impact is huge.
I love this album, although emotionally it does not quite sit alongside Born to Run, The River or Born in the U.S.A. for me. Those records soar. Nebraska broods. But lyrically, Springsteen proves he can do absolutely anything. These are short stories set to music, full of desperation, regret and quiet humanity.
Favourite song: Atlantic City. A masterpiece of tension and storytelling.
Least favourite: None. Every track is listenable and has a story worth hearing.
Album artwork: A fantastic cover that perfectly reflects the bleak, empty landscapes within
Rated 8/10
This is a very good album.
Bob Marley is a fantastic talent for writing accurate social commentary lyrics that’s still work and are applicable to this date! There is anger and happiness on top of great music in this album.
Favourite song: Stir it up and concreate jungle are great songs.
Least favourite: All songs were good.
Album artwork: Cool cover.
Rated 4/10
Polarising reviews. I was looking forward to giving this a listen to see where I sit on the 1’s or 5’s. There is little in-between.
I gave it 2 listens before reviewing to make sure I was fair as this album is nuts. On reflection this is an album of moments, some of them are brilliant and some of them are just bizarre. I can’t work out if I love Sat in your lap and there goes a tenner or absolutely hate these tracks.
Favourite song: I couldnt pick one, they are all nuts. I dont know if I love them all or hate them.
Least favourite: Same as above
Album artwork: Cool cover
Rated 6/10
7 songs and 38 minutes. It’s a short one!!! Great intro to Deep Purple though. I have not heard much of their work apart from smoke on the water (what a guitar riff that is!!)
I really enjoyed Maybe im a Leo, pictures of home and never before. There are some great Dad rock songs on this album.
Favourite song: Maybe I’m a Leo
Least favourite: All were good.
Album artwork: Good album cover
Rated 2/10
Sexist, misogynistic, and homophobic lyrics. Very dated and uncomfortable listening!
Favourite song: I didn’t really like anything
Least favourite: All of the tracks
Album artwork: not for me
Rated 6/10
Well-crafted and produced music, in summary this album is cool folk rock! I love the Waterboys.
My only critic is the album is very long with little variation.
Favourite song: Fisherman’s blues is a great song
Least favourite: The stolen child.
Album artwork: Cool cover
