I haven’t liked this album that much on previous listens (compared to others by them) but I was really into today. It doesn’t feel as tightly an album as Modern Life Is Rubbish does, if that makes sense, but the songs are all good. I’ve always liked Beetlebum and On Your Own a lot, and some other songs on here have become a lot better to me over time.

I was expecting this to be a slog but I thought it was great. I will say the (relatively) shorter songs are a bit stronger as the longer ones drag on a bit. Pleasantly surprised by this one.

Finishing this felt like a mini challenge of its own. I liked it at first but after a certain point an album does just get too long. I think just the first half would have been fine. Great songs on here, but there’s just too many.

Decent but there’s a few textures to the instruments I don’t like. Also don’t like the live element of background noise; it was more off-putting than anything to me.

I thought I didn’t like them at all but I think I’ve only ever heard them on bad speakers. Still not on board with Even Flow though.

Great instruments on this album. I’m not entirely convinced I like eddievedderswayofsinginglikethis but I enjoyed this a lot more than I expected to.

I started judging the band based on their name (a bit unfair, considering my favourite band is called Gorky’s Zygotic Mynci) and I expected them to either be really bad or unexpectedly good. They turned out to be just average. Didn’t really like the first two tracks, enjoyed I’m A Cadillac and the rest was okay. This album is just fine. It’s an album for sure.

Just really solid for what it is

I can’t believe her mum would do that

First Beatles of the list and I only knew two of the songs off this. Really liked it, although I found the final song uncomfortable to listen to, regardless of whether or not it’s a character piece.

In My Life is so good

Quiet; didn't really care for this one much

Needed a good pop album after having to listen to Radiohead and my archenemy Led Zeppelin recently. (I know this goes against the opinion most people have on here, whatever)

And this is such a good pop album. I knew Take On Me and The Sun Always Shines on TV (what a song) but I hadn’t properly listened to one of their albums yet. I really like this; this is exactly the type of thing I enjoy.

I just don’t care

I would have given this a five if it wasn't for the long monologue before the final track. It killed the pace of the album, although it made it more satisfying when the track properly started. Edging?

Also I have never watched South Park and, while reading his wikipedia, I was surprised to discover this was actually the 1969 album of a South Park voice actor.

Started listening to this even though I knew I hated them just in case I had been too harsh on them. Less than half way through I realised I had been too generous.

It’s been a while since an album on here has made me read up a lot on the artist. Unfortunately (as per usual for many older artists) after learning all the good things he was involved with, I was greeted by details of horrendous treatment of women, which does sour this.

That aside, I only started reading because of how good this album was and I did really have fun with it. It sounds like the crowd really enjoyed it too. Surprised it was kept in the vaults for being too “rough” or whatever; I didn’t get that impression at all.

I prefer music with more going on instrumentally, but there were some beautiful moments on this.

I don’t normally like this style of music (more spoken word, not so much focus on instruments) but I really liked this one

STOP. SHOWING. ME. LED. ZEPPELIN.

also I knew they were weird with kids but I wasn’t expecting them to fully say it out loud in a song

Not really sure how to judge this one as I don’t really know this genre well. To me, it was alright but didn’t amaze me.

It was alright at first but then something clicked and it got so good. Imagine walking around a city, like the idealised version of Paris or somewhere else you see in old films, down a path in the park with lantern-like streetlights and black metal benches whilst this plays.
