The first half was really good instrumentals with a guy mumbling on top. Last song was awful.

I did enjoy the second half, especially It’s A Curse and Paranoia Man In Cheap Shit Room, more. I think the vocals need to be clearer over the music, as they don’t really work for me when everything is on the same level.

I’ve never listened to The Fall before and on the second half I can really see how Datblygu were influenced by them. (Am aware this album came out towards the end of Datblygu’s run, assume older Fall songs use this emphasised speaking style too) I know a lot of bands I like were influenced by them and I can appreciate them for that, but I think the ways other bands built on their ideas are more interesting to me than the original. Based on this album anyway.

Second half was definitely stronger. Some songs I quite liked here but others I found boring.

Great voice, otherwise I was uninterested

I like the sound but I think from what I know of their discography I prefer the later stuff. Great debut though

STOP GIVING ME LED ZEPPLIN ALBUMS IVE ONLY JUST GOTTEN OVER 30 ALBUMS IN AND THIS IS MY THIRD AND I DONT LIKE THEM

I don’t know if the rng hates me or is trying to get all the Zepplins out of the way so I don’t have to worry about them later.

I just looked it up and there’s 5 of them. I understand they’re a classic band but they all sound the same to me. Maybe I’m ignorant on rock history but is there really enough going on here to warrant 5 of their albums? I know a decent amount of people really like them, but there are bands on this list I love that should have had less albums included.

Wait this is kinda good why didn’t they just include this one. I’m not going back to this one I think but it was better.

I think this album is great but it’s never been one of my top albums. Shadowplay is a fantastic song and there are a lot of great moments in here, but I’ve never quite connected with it enough for a 5.

I preferred reading it over listening to it.

I liked the music. Hate the album cover though. Stop staring at me like that. Put that smirk away.

I was in between a 4 and 5 but I think I’ll settle on a 4 because I’m not confidently at a 5. I really liked the sound of this. I’ve always meant to listen to more of their songs but never got around to it until now.

I’ve been enjoying Christmas music a lot more than usual this year, so I was excited for this. I then became very disappointed. I decided not to ruin my Christmas and didn’t finish this. I put on my own playlist and the sounds of Joy Division’s Atmosphere brought me back to my good mood.

Maybe showing my age/ lack of knowledge here but I checked the reviews to see if this was worth finishing and you’re telling me this guy killed someone… Yeah there’s nothing great about this.

Nothing mind blowing but I liked the sound of it. The face on the cover makes me feel paternal for whatever reason.

I’d probably enjoy the songs more separately than in an album. It does get a bit samey although I liked the sound.

Also alcoholism is bad but that lawnmower story is insane.

The first few tracks on this were brilliant. There’s a lot of energy on this album which I enjoy. I will say the second half was a bit weaker though.

I was enjoying it at first but it started to get a bit boring. I’m sure this is great if played at the right event though.

Although Praise You has been ruined for me. I immediately thought I had gotten an advert before realising it was the actual song.

It felt like I was forgetting the songs as I was hearing them.

Even when you manage to dodge her for most of December, the universe invents new, twisted ways for her to get you.

It was good at first but it gets quite samey. The tracks would probably sound better listened to one at a time, but together they blend together a bit. I might listen to a track or two again at some point, but probably not the album as a whole.

I had a few ideas about what this could sound like based on the cover, and the moment the vocals started I realised I was completely wrong.

There were some good songs on here, but the album as a whole wasn’t super interesting and it didn’t inspire me to want to explore the rest of the band’s discography.

Every song on here is great!

My one critique would be that I wish it felt slightly more like an album rather than a collection of songs, but those songs were still good enough to put this at five.

I liked this more than Physical Graffiti but I really don’t think they’re a band for me.

I loved the instruments but the vocals weren’t really my style. It did feel slightly repetitive in my opinion.
