Never heard of The Band before but will be checking out more of their stuff after this. Bloody loved this. Every track on here was a belter. I’ll be playing this for a good few days.

Top Track - The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down

Started really strongly, fell away at the middle but came back again. Overall solid album

I thought I was gonna hate this but it was great craic. Bloody weird at times but good weird.

Top Track - Persian Love

Started really strongly but fell off towards the end

Bloody great album, I enjoyed this a lot more than Folsom Prison. In fact I think if I had heard this first I would’ve marked Folsom a bit lower. Can’t really fault this, no bad tracks on it and for a live album the energy definitely comes across.

Top Track - A Boy Named Sue

I’ll start with the positive, I really liked Black Steel, absolutely banging song. Unfortunately this was one of only two songs I enjoyed on this album. Overall I found it mostly boring apart from Ponderosa which I absolutely hated.

For an album I’ve never listened to I was surprised how many songs I knew. This was bloody brilliant. I was a bit dubious going in since I didn’t like Morrison Hotel at all but I enjoyed this one infinitely more.

Top Track - Break On Through

This was great. Not a bad song on it. Reading up on it and the fallout he suffered after releasing this was crazy.

It’s not that it’s terrible, actually there’s quite a few songs I surprisingly enjoyed. It just doesn’t need to be 20 tracks and nearly 1hr 20 mins long. You could literally cut away half of this album and you wouldn’t be missing anything noteworthy.

Top Track - Fighter is an absolute banger

First few tracks I was quite enjoying this and was wondering why the rating was so low. Problem was, while I didn’t find anything terrible, it didn’t hold my attention past the first 3-4 tracks. A couple of times I had to put a song back to the start cause I realised I had tuned out and hadn’t been paying any attention to it. Knowing now that The Divine Comedy were involved in this it’s mildly disappointing.

Really good album, not a bad track on it. At the same time not enough outstanding songs to give it all 5 stars

Pixies are on my never ending list of bands that I keep meaning to delve into. Any tracks I’ve heard down the years I’ve always liked but today was the first time listening to an album in full. I did really enjoy it overall without it absolutely blowing me away. In saying that it didn’t help that I kept having to stop and start listening to it

Top Track - Where Is My Mind

I only know a few Blondie songs and they all seemed to be on this album. Some brilliant tracks on here. The only thing stopping it from getting all 5 stars is I didn’t like I Know But I Don’t Know. Take that track off and it’s getting full marks.

Top Track - Hanging On The Telephone. Absolute Banger

Vocals grated after a while but love the guitar work

Great beginning, great end. Dragged a bit in the middle

Really good for the most part but a couple of tracks were a bit too samey

Really good album. It dragged slightly towards the end. Knock 3-4 songs off this and it’s definitely 5 stars

Not a bad album. I think I would have rated it higher had I not heard some of Bowies earlier stuff previously

Awful, awful album. Absolutely hated it.

Simply put, this is an absolute masterpiece. In my opinion, Pink Floyds finest album and one of the greatest of all time.

Top Track - Can’t single one out, all of them are brilliant
