Utterly unstoppable funkiness

Tricky band to rate impartially because, well, everyone has an opinion on them right? I don't honestly get the strong emotion they provoke (whether love or hatred). This album undoubtedly had a major impact at the time, and I can totally understand why it makes the list. But, I just can't *love* it - bland vanilla posh UK AOR. It's not bad at all, but "great".......?

The most middle-of-the-road Britpop imaginable.

Interesting mix of the sparkly shirt and tight harmony era with the "gimme some more brass FUNK-era". I know next to nothing about the influence, but if you tell me it was BIG, then I'll accept that. Solid 6/10 - funky.

Meh.

Contains "Kashmir".

Played in a LOT of coffee shops circa 2006.

Pretty but feels very similar to hundreds of other artists.

Not the Rolling Stones are they.

Perfectly sat at the soul / pop / blues boundary. Makes you wish you were there in the room nursing one whisky too many

Shouldn't have listened to whilst having a bad day at work. SO. VERY. ANGRY. NOW.

Interesting. Very interesting *strokes soul patch beard wisely*. Enjoyed it, in an unoffensive background-y way, can't say I loved it.

Dangerously close to a William Shatner album

Rock for people who prefer classical music.

Any better debut Side 1, Track 1 intros.............................. no, I'll wait........................

I feel like I missed out on a LOT as a teen as I was definitely in the "it must have a guitar and bass and drums or it's crap" tribe.

This is most definitely NOT crap. Automatic 5 stars purely for Sabotage tbh

Hang on. Where's the anger and angst? This is generic 60's white-boy blues rock.

Nothing more sensual than Kate Bush tbh

Funky and fun rather than "shoot loads of people and slap some hoes around"

Gentle background music whilst working away, some lush strings in there, but very hard to see why this would be placed above countless other similar albums.
