"...now let's it sung properly!"

Antmusic for sex people.

Heard this before, enjoyed it. Re-listening now, still a great album for a lazy Sunday morning. Take Five is so familiar, remains etched in your mind for all time.

I did not know what to expect from this.

It was weird, yet wonderful... being taken on a dreamlike magical journey, atmospheric and beautiful.

The explanation of "Wyatting" on Wikipedia made me laugh, (both the gag itself and his wife's opinion).

Good album, enjoyable enough, and Our House is a delight.

Strange that this is the only Madness album on the 1001 list. I'd listened to The Liberty of Norton Folgate recently, which was well worth a listen.

Fairly middle of the road white guy dad rock.
So yeah, it was okay, I suppose, maybe.

I'd listened to this a few times before. I tend to enjoy Novocaine for the Soul and Susan's House, then kinda fade out for most of the album until I wake up again with Your Lucky Day In Hell. It's pleasant enough album, good vibes. 3.5

Hadn't heard this album before, got off to a bit of a slow start, then I really got into it a few tracks in. Good stuff. 3.5/4.

Did I listen to the right album? Sounded like a lot of low-fi mumblings. Picked up in places, still didn't like it.

Leonard Cohen don't give a fuck, just look at this badass mofo, superfly, eating a banana, not a friggin' care in the world!

Yet another ex-1001 album!™

I have a soft spot for The Zutons, oh-oh, I can do my "my bessie mate's brother is bessie mates with the singer's brother" thing, yeah yeah, I bore myself sometimes.

4 for nostalgia, the Scouse connection and great banging tunes!

Turns out that even the middle of the road has a middle, this is it. 2.5

I can't recall when (or why) I'd heard this before, but I like the random eccentricness of it all.

Tiny Dancer is great, so lovely; the rest are, well, shit.

I wish I hadn't read the "sounds like Paul McCartney doing an Elton John impression" comments, it's cracked me up!

I wasn't too fussed with this.

Catching up on missed albums. Having just listened to Wilco's other album on the list (Being There), I thought I best get this one out the way too. Ripping the plaster off, so to speak.

I'm sure in a different life, I may have enjoyed Wilco, but unfortunately today they bore the tits off me!

The only interesting thing I found was that this album was released a week after 9/11, and it's got two towers on the artwork.

1.5

Dreadful album. But ...Baby One More Time still hits the nostalgia hard. Oh how teenage me wanted to go to that school!

Arrêtez le bateau, je veux descendre.
Un chef-d'œuvre? Mon cul saigne!

Good, chilled out.

Spotify had auto-play enabled, so I didn't realise that the album had finished until 10 minutes later. 😆

This was on regular rotation during my late teens. Couple of tracks can still kick your arse, the rest feel a tad too superficially depraved for middle-aged me.
