Have you ever noticed that when there is music in an elevator, it's always The Girl from Ipanema? No? Just me and the Blues Brothers then.

Nevertheless, I quite enjoyed this album, easy going vibes.

Well this was unexpected, I quite enjoyed it!

Shout, Everybody Wants To Rule The World and Head Over Heels are great, the rest were a bit hit and miss.

Fine and dandy mister splanky!

The most unlistenable album ever, yet still I listened to it. FML!

This made me feel very very sleepy. 🥱

I can see why it's on the list, backstory is interesting enough. Songs are good enough, and good album length. Didn't excite me, but didn't annoy me either, 50/50 with me.

Now That's What I Call Elevator Music! '67

Telephone hold music for the OnlyFans French office.
"Votre appel est important pour nous. Montre-moi tes pieds."

Weird, in a kitsch psychobilly surfer punk rock kinda way. At least I think I liked it, a bit, maybe.

Say what you will about Michael Jackson, this is a great and well produced album.

Had never heard of this, good mix of styles, some places a bit laggy, overall enjoyed it!

I think something was up with my headphones, as I could hear every fooking word. Jesus wept!

What can I say... gotta love a few power anthems for karaoke! 3.5

Another one of these where I go on about the medium influencing the message.

The opening track is 20 minutes long, this may seem silly in our contemporary Spotify streaming world, but for the original vinyl release, it was the entire Side A, which makes sense for telling a prog-rock concept story - however unfriendly for radio airplay.

Overall, it's a bit slow and meandering, glad I listened, doubt I'd revisit. 2.5

Alexa, play me bland 80s synth pop... Are you sure? OK, here you go.

I listened to this once when it first came out. I kinda wrote Elastica off as a one-hit wonder with Connection. I quite enjoyed rediscovering this, hopefully it won't be another 28 years before I listen again.

The title track and Riders On The Storm are great, the rest feels like a boozy blues club band, boorish, whilst still musical tight, it put me on a bit of a downer. 2.5

Started off well, punky rockabilly, but turned all very samey. 2.5

Enjoyed a few of the songs, overall *shrugs*
