Reviews by marcusmuck-again

Just finished listening to Napalm Death and now this.

I can't tell the difference to be honest!

Only kidding of course but this is another world to what we hear nowadays and it's hard to be objective. It's good to listen to.

Reading the reviews I'm dismayed at the random low marks so I'm randomly giving this a '5'

So with 15 albums left I finally got to listen to this, at one time the lowest rated album.

Proof that this 1001 is purely comprised of incredibly niche genre groups and nothing to do with the 'best' albums. The Genres are so marginal it's amusing.

I hope this stays on the chart but at the same time it's poor stuff.

Lol! I listened to the first track and thought "they're copying the Gorillaz!"

Then I realised it IS the Gorillaz (in a way).

Pleasant Damon-like tracks......

I find it irritating when snowflake people are suddenly outraged by mediareports and the cancel culture kicks in.

This guy has never made asecret over the fact he's dangerous and unpredictable.

The music is ok- nothing special, clean and well produced. It was lapped up by many of the people now outraged.

You can really hear the influence of Trent in some of the tracks.

I quite enjoyed this album but it's really not that unique and doesn't deserve a place in the annals of the 1001.

This chart is more about fulfilling genre categories than having a definitive list of the best.

So 70's, so Glam and sooooo Good.

Seriously though, this was a good album with hits and fillers inbetween. A few of their albums would fill a Greatest Hits album so is this album better than the next?

I guess you've got to love this album or hate it? A lot depends whether you're an oldie too.

I'm firmly in the former camp and I guess those that hate it love the sort of new stuff that will be soon forgotten.

This was groundbreaking and iconic and has stood the test of time.

A truly great album

Wow! Some real haters on this but overall it's middle of the road

Very nice chillin' easy listening - say if you need to concentrate on work etc

Not really the sort of stuff for a 1001 greatest of all time album chart.

Plus this appears to be a compilation?

This is interesting- it helps to separate the Lennon from the McCartney in the last few albums of ramblings (Abbey, White and Let it Be).

Pleasant songs- like he sat down and jammed in his loft.

Nothing really special and Wings did it better.....

Devoid of originality.

Maybe in 1993 it was ahead of the game but I don't think so.

The sound isn't unpleasant, just nothing special.

I listened to this and then looked at the reviews.

I actually enjoyed it but not suprised to see it's poor performance.

If you spin back to the Residents, Throbbing Gristle and even The Mothers of Invention you'll see that there's a prescendence for this sort of thing.....

This album has a sentimental meaning to me so it's difficult to judge.

These are great songs - not stylistically innovative.

Just good to listen to.

For 1992 it's pretty much where it should be but there's nothing new here.

Think Psychedelic Furs 10 years earlier and you're almost there.

It's not unpleasant though- quite a nice blend and kinda a Poppy Nirvana...lol!

Whatever anyone may say this was a gamechanger.

Iconic in every way- the cover, the band and the music.

What an amazing time it was.

Without any doubt one of the landmark female singer/songwriter albums.

Every song is a tour-de-force. Melodic and insightful.

A true masterpiece.

It's ok I guess.....pretty funky and groovy to move to.

But not sure it quite qualifies as one of the best of all time?

I do like a bit of Reggae.

This is pretty generic really and nothing special

Stone cold, drop dead classic.

One of the greatest singers and one of the best albums.

I mean, this guy wrote 'Respect' but also covered Smokey, Roling Stones and Sam Cooke with panache all to himself.

Well it's Radiohead innit? Even a lesser political album is still head and shoulders above most albums by other bands.

Oddball sounds and rhythms, electronic and drum orientated with an occasional Rocky-interlude it blends together rather than having stand-out tracks.

I know it's not for everyone but it is for me.
