Pish

At least a 10

Despite being a Celtic Fan, my opinion of Rod is that, like Clapton, his racism towards Asians in the 1970s made it impossible to have anything but a loathsome view of him. At least he gave us Rock Against Racism.

My sisters had their previous albums, this was an unexpected delight.

Another 70s pedo band, but you can dance to Gary Glitters.

Too bland

Too bland

Have never seen the point, weedy ramblings, so insipid. I am trying to think of a song that I can remember, or even a melody, from three albums of middle class angst.
I used to regularly go to folk clubs in the 1970s and the evening would nearly always be ruined by introspective, up their arses, singers like this, with nothing really to say and shockingly bad vocals.
Listening again, 50 odd years later this is worse than I remember.

Bad then, worse now.

Bland to the point of nothingness

Pretty poor, only one good song, definitely not Blowing in the Wind. Pretty shite.

Dull in 81, much duller now. This is not Dare.

As a teenager I loved this album, and the Faces, as a band, were incredible, Ronny Lane and Ian MacGlagan in particular
But Rod Stewart’s racism, particularly towards south East Asians, his support for Enoch Powell has made this album unlistenable now.
Are people forgetting Rock against Racism was started because of musicians like Stewart and Clapton.

I last listened to this album when it came out, it was dull, seemingly endless. Jarvis may be seen as a great lyricist but the tunes don’t cut it, sort of sub Brel, Walker Brothers.

They really should have stopped after Common People.

Not as good as the earlier Wailers Albums

Sort of grown up Pink Floyd

This is Roy Wood’s Wizzard, bereft of any wit, humour and art. Some good songs that should be sung by someone else.

Unbelievably poor

One of the few 10s

More nonsense
