Rated 6/10
This is realy REALLY odd since it came soon after Velvet Underground and sounds so British despite being recorded in California.
Can't say I like it much but I'm glad things like this got made way back then
Rated 2/10
Truly dull, devoid of originality or talent.
I guess something has to fill the Genre slot but it would be better to scrap the idea altogether. Imagine these guys up against Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Motorhead etc etc
Rated 6/10
It's ok but considering we're talking about late 90s here it's really taking this Rock genre a long time to make it to Scandinavia.
Rated 6/10
This is a difficult one- very 'pop R&B' sanitised but with a gritty feel behind it.
I think there's a lot more going on here which makes this more worthwhile listening to.
Rated 6/10
One of the most phenomenally talented singers this century and of course it went horribly wrong.
This is not her best album and shouldn't be here but still good to listen to.
Rated 6/10
Not my favourite Bunnymen album but solid.
Not action packed of full of creative genius.
I don't love it but can't bring myself to disllike it.
Rated 6/10
My 1001st album!!
And one I actually bought at the time although to be honest time has not been kind to it. It sounds so dated now. Clean and clinical.
Still, it's pleasant enough and I don't want to end on a bad note.
A middling *** stars
Rated 6/10
A classic but listening to the other tracks they're a bit 'One dimensional' (geddit?)
Not much variation in style or content but it's ok I guess.
Includes a version of 'Hey Joe' which is a bit odd.....
Rated 10/10
I've never been a big Stones fan but this album is too good to let go - some super super bigs hits and the rest fit in nicely too.
Very assured, and well produced, this oozes class.
A solid 5*****
Rated 4/10
Just not in the mood to be honest. Run of the mill power Rock and the only thing I can think of as a compliemt is that this was made in 1978 and not 1983
Rated 4/10
It must be difficult to invent something new nowadays- this isn't bad but then again it's been done before and I'm tired of being charitable.
Rated 8/10
This is such an enigma- I've never really understood why this album or the band is as popular as it/they are but there you are...
I can't deny I'm very impressed though by this more than ever before. It's from a bygone age of British folk rock/Progressive rock and worth listening to.
The musicianship is outstanding but the lyrics are very odd.....and compelling it has to be said.
Rated 10/10
A bit difficult for me to judge since it was a major favourite of mine at the time.
The sounds are indeed eclectic and better for it. Lots of beats, ideas and great, great songs.
They were the coolest bunch of guys and I absolutely love this album.
I've heard this before and have to say this is right up my street.
Absolutely bizarre, unsettling and a one-off. It's totally groundbreaking and experimental.
I guess it had to be unique - nothing this weird would have lasted.
Totally outside of my usual usual playlist and it's hard to see beyond my own prejudice but this shines through as an amazing album.
The level of musicality is set to Maximum and many of the tracks are outstanding.
This is very very good.
Rated 10/10
This is uncomprehendingly incomparingly magnificent.
By this I mean I don't know why but you can't compare this with anything by today's standards.
Simply timeless.
Rated 6/10
It's not bad, in fact quite pleasant but is it really worthy of a place in the Greatest of all time?
No.
Rated 8/10
What's wrong with some people-this was made in 1978 at the cusp between Punk and New Wave.
It has that fresh vibe and energy and knocks the spots off other bands that came after.
Rated 10/10
Easy-peasy lemon-squeezy.
One of my favourite albums by one of my favourite groups. 30 years old now and certainly NOT Electonica....
Great videos if you ever get chance to watch them.
Not quite the best of Trip Hop but close (Mezannine and NearlyGod)
Rated 6/10
Didn't expect to like this but it's quite relaxed and smooth despite the cutting rapping.
