I dig the sound quite a bit here. I didn't read the lyrics much... but the ones I did read were kinda eh. Voice is also kinda eh. I would love an instrumental of this album. Yeah. The more I think about it... an instrumental would be sick

Where are the drop D power chords?? I dig it anyways 😊

Very calming. This gets me in the mood for a David Attenborough documentary

The metal theme is cool. I respect this stuff. I was really digging the bass, and then found out it was Jah Wobble playing - that explains it!!

Unfortunately I have to rate this album a 2, even when they have other great stuff.

My mum even had a PIL shirt when younger!

I really like the light on the album cover. It looks very peaceful

Excited going into this, since the album cover is used as the cover art to one of the versions of the 1001 albums book...

I love myself a Rolling Stones cover!!! The rest could be better

The cover art is amazing. Very good song covers too. This is the country music gateway drug for me

Good if want that vibe

With the addition of kids it boosts it to a 4

Edit Apr 15 2026: 4 --> 3

It's ok

Maybe if I pay attention to the story more it would get a 3

I like Blowin' in the Wind. The rest would need more time to grow on me

Truly great. Criticizing repeated lyrics here is like criticizing rock music for having riffs. It's the style, it works perfectly, and does exactly what it's supposed to do

Edit Apr 15 2026: 5 --> 4. I have a lot of nostalgia for it, but I don't feel it enough for a 5/5 here

+1 for what the Rolling Stones Exile On Main Street reference symbolizes here

Edit Apr 15 2026: 4 --> 2. I don't like the indie voice that much

I had never listened to Spiritualized before

I knew my mum asked me to check if Spiritualized is on the list when starting the project, so the artist was on my radar. When this album came up, my mum told me to tell my dad too, and I played the 1st track to have him guess it. Whenever I see my mum/dad, I get them to guess all the albums I’ve generated since last seeing them, but my mum said I should call him that day. He got it instantly - at the 1st note (I played the 1st track for him starting *after* the first lyric, since that line says the name of the album/track). He then said that this album was very special to him and he must have listened to it around a thousand times (whatever the actual number, it is a lot). A bunch of the music I like comes from my parents, so this made me excited to listen to this album. It also had the shoegaze tag, and I really like shoegaze. I wanted to properly focus on this album when first listening, so I waited until I had a chunk of free time. I then turned off the lights in my room, turned off my phone notifications, and I lay down in bed and put the album on

I cried a minute in. This really is something special

Every track is gold. Just What I Needed is one of my all-time favourite songs

Psycho Killer is amazing. The rest is ok

Some cool stuff

It's cool. 2nd track is my favourite

Gotta love Blondie. Great proto-80's

Not my sound. I like the outro though - how it says "this LP"
