Didn't hate this one. Still as joyful as a funeral. The melancholy gets old by the end

Felt pretty directionless but I quite liked a lot of it. Other parts I was left confused. Half baked Bowie/The Cure ?

Non-descript, pretentious milennial guff. Sonically decent and creative but it's just so dull to listen to

Twangy LSD 60s fodder. Poorly mastered

Some really eclectic, experimental, and interesting things going on instrumentally, especially with the guitars. Unfortunately the vocals are so grating and painfully out of tune that the instrumental songs are the highlights

Maybe the greatest voice in history. Every note is smooth as butter. R-E-S-P-E-C-T

The right level of eclectic and weird for me. Some great post-punk 80s eerie vibes, definitely won't be to everyone's taste but loved the storytelling and songwriting. Basslines were a groove

Fifty's flow is so signature, identifiable and unique. But every song is a variation on the same thing that we don't need 20 songs!!! Really detracts from the heavy hitters as it feels tiresome and derivative after a while

cutting through the cheese in this is like trying to grate parmesan rind. could tell they have great chemistry and probably had a blast recording this but the 80s style flow is just so dated to me. way too much filler too. some cool beats

Paint it black is a masterpiece. The rest of the album was pretty derivative Stones. Listenable not nothing I haven't heard before. Going home was a nice touch after being away for the last 5 weeks and heading back from Heathrow

Quintessential punk. Really fun to listen to, iconic and influential sound

A bit uninspiring. Meh drum fills, meh guitar, meh lyrics. Vocals weren't a highlight either

One of my favourite albums that exists, completely encapsulates 90s Madchester. Trippy and love all the dissonant harmonies. Never ever gets old

Such a nothingburger that I hadn't realised it had ended and I was listening to the album through again. Some ok moments but most of the time the noises of the central line were more interesting. Between a 1 and a 2

Outrageous lyricism and flow. Every song on this record sounds deliberate with zero filler. Conscious, and so much chemistry with the LIVE backing and music. Can hear so many influences here but undeniably the best of british hip hop/rap. Could've run this back through

Title track is fantastic - loved the proggier pop rock elements to the usual Bowie stuff. Favourite one so far. Felt more cohesive and musically ambitious.

I find it really hard to place my opinions about Bowie. The songwriting is fantastic but I find it really hard to dig as a whole experience. Highlights: Queen Bitch and Changes

Surprisingly enjoyed for a country album. Well arranged and nice mix of tunes, felt pretty fresh tbh

Unreal. Enjoyed every second. Killer bass. Funk and world vibes.

The A side here is one million miles an hour peak RHCP. B side is a little too full of mindless funk. Could listen to just an instrumental of this too, Flea's basslines are irresistible
