I can't help but think of that scene in Spinal Tap, as a skiffle band, The Thamesmen.
Those slightly embarrassing early years.
2.5

Given it's a triple album, probably best enjoyed in three sittings, (far too much to take in a single sitting).

...and given all the material, I felt it could have been condensed and refined down to a stellar single album.

"My Sweet Lord" is still the standout track for me. 3.5

Upbeat blues is funny, opening track "nobody loves me, nobody cares" (oh yeah, woo!)

Good live album.

Jesus wept! I wasn't in the mood for this. I guess you had to be there.

Some of the synth beats were quite good, but on a whole I didn't like it, highly doubt I'm the target audience.

Sunday brunch vibes... in a good way.

A friend asked me recently, what song would play at your funeral? Without a beat, I replied, Free Bird!

Not that it's terrible, I either wasn't in the mood for this, or, just didn't like it. 1.5

Good vibes, good times!

I liked the upbeat tracks, the ballad tracks dragged, and Superstition is on a different level.

Throughout the 1001, I've been trying to figure out "what is an album?". There's no doubt she's a great singer, but I do doubt this album constitutes a body of work.

I like most of Pulp's hits, wasn't too familiar with the albums. I enjoyed this one, in an unsettling kind of way. Felt that a few of the tracks were trying to channel Bowie or The Beatles.

Enjoyed it enough, good to get that post-teenage angst out there!

Half man, half machine, what does it mean?

I'd heard this album a couple of times, thought it was alright, but I must have been in a contemplative mood yesterday and I thought it was great.

I'm giving it an optimistic 5, knowing full well that if I was in a less contemplative mood, it'd be more like a 3.

I tried listening to this several times in the past few days, each time I just can't be arsed with it. Rest of our group seems to like it, I must be missing that hook in. 2.5

Fun times! I was dancing around the house all day.

Pleasant enough, mostly middle of the road songs. Strong Enough and All I Wanna Do are good.

I liked the backstory of the album and title, sounded fun.

Iceman: "You can surf my butthole any time."
Maverick: "Bullshit! You can surf mine."

My dad played this a lot, I recall liking it until I became a teenager, then strongly disliking it. Re-listening now, great guitar work and production, but still invoked a strangely sick feeling in the bottom of my stomach. Mixed emotions. Is there such a thing as anti-nostalgia? 2.5

I may have not been paying attention to the whole album as got distracted by Nina Persson's seductively sweet vocals, yes please, don't stop.
