A little too bluesy for me but it did leave me feeling high which is always a positive

It's givin' me the Bends.

But like, in a good way.

It's no worse than Hotel California

ENOUGH WITH THE GODDAMN ELECTRONICA

I feel like poorly reviewing 80s music for being cheesy is kind of unfair, but that's not my problem.

THEY ALL SOUNDED THE SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMEEEE!!!!!!

Really strong start and really strong finish. A lot of stuff in the middle didn't really live up to the hype, though. Good songs sung with a great voice, but the album overall isn't what I'd call a great album.

Eh. I lost a lot of interest after 'Starálfur', which was really beautiful, but unfortunately, nothing else could keep the momentum going. I also liked 'Viðrar vel til loftárása' and 'Olsen olsen', but every other song pretty much had the same boring sound. And they were all really long, which contributed to my occasional loss of interest.

Okay. I get that everyone hates John Lennon. So do I. He was a trash human. But that's no reason to give him a bad rating. These songs, while all sounding kind of the same, have really talented songwriting behind them. They're lame, but they're an improvement on Beatles lame. It's very meaningful music when you can get past the hypocrisy behind 'Imagine'.

This would be a good listen if I was chilling with my very white friends in an underdeveloped basement while we were stoned one night in 2002. Outside of this oddly specific scenario, it's a very generic alt rock album. There's nothing interesting, and it's giving me no reason to want to listen to it again. There was absolutely nothing catchy about it, and ever song just sounded like a repeat in which a monotone voice said nonsense lyrics with a standard electronic drum beat and some hip hip thrown in. It's not music as much as it is noise. Yet it's branded as 'cool' so wallflower teenagers can claim to have better music taste than the rest of us.

Honestly, this is a very fine example of early British rock. There's nothing to solidify this with 'classic' status, but there's some very good guitar work and songwriting present.

I think I might be too white to get it

An album full of decent efforts in the format of deep cuts, with the most notable being 'Rocks Off', 'Rip This Joint', 'Tumbling Dice', and a few others that pretty much sound exactly like them. However, there isn't really a bad song on this entire album, and it's enjoyable all the way through. It's 18 songs of good vibes and nostalgia, and I don't know what's much better than that.

Everything good and bad about punk rock. So basically it evens out.

4/5 would so massacre people in a church to this

So much cheese and cow shit you'd think you were at a dairy farm in Southern Wisconsin

oh my God that's the funky shit

Melancholy in an album. And I love me some good melancholy.

They don't call her the Queen of Soul for nothing. Her voice is melodious and hits every right note. The songs are refreshing, with each one sounding different, yet still retaining her signature sound. There's nothing to complain about here.

The singer from the Buzzcocks left the band and somehow found a way to make even crappier music. There is no real sustenance or creativity in any of these songs, save maybe, MAYBE, for 'Recoil'. His voice is borderline unbearable, the guitar riffs are beyond generic, and the lyrics are incredibly bland. If annoying had a sound, it would sound like this. It's not even cool in the way crappy post-punk can sound. It's unintelligible meandering.
