"It must be nice to be a man and make boring music just because you can" ~ Florence Welch (who is missing from the list)

Didn't mind this! Very nice actual music. Couldn't really tell what he was moaning on about, but it didn't distract from just listening to the music in the background. Good!

Rated 4/10

Didn't do a lot for me obviously. I read some of the reviews on here and they're all like "This really captures the spirit of 90s New York", which is also what people said about the film Caught Stealing. I've come to the conclusion that I don't want to be anywhere near 90s New York, it seems a terrible place! I would rather spend my time in nicer surrounds.

Love Dolly, but I usually listen to her hits rather than full albums. This album is a nice time, but you know that the hits are Coat of Many Colors and Here I Am. The rest are nice but unmemorable really. Still a nice listen of course.

Okay I swear I gave this a good chance, but it was honestly like 2 phone ringtones going off at the same time whilst a cockerney complained about whores in the background. I know that Mr Rascal has many a hit song after this where the music is incorporated with the rapping (B B B b B B Bonkers and such), so clearly he made his music more appealing to me later on. I hated this tho, couldn't understand what was being said coz the music in the background annoyed me, so got the worst of both worlds.

Mixed bag, but overall a good bag. The parts where it was just Neil Young on the mic were the best (coz he's obviously got a proper standout voice). Helpless was a standout, alongside Woodstock by Joni which I didn't know was on this. Songs varied in quality but were never awful. Nice!

Rated 10/10

How the fuck does this have an average score below 3?! This album is a masterpiece. This lady is heartbroken, and you're giving low scores because she's interesting? (I assume). I'm sorry that it's too challenging for you Men.

Anyhow, it's not my absolute favourite Björk album but it's deffo up there. Just heartbreaking and gorgeous with those beautiful strings xx

Big up Macclesfield and all that and I'm sorry you died Ian, but this is rather dull I'm afraid. No rizz. Boring man music that I think people like because of the album cover. Makes a cool t shirt I guess

I think my view of who The Doors were was rather incorrect. I was expecting dull mopey songs (coz I only knew Riders of the Storm going in and such). This had some right bops (best one is Land Ho!) and a great rock and/or roll vibe. Lovely surprise!

Really nice album, with one half of pop songs and one half really good instrumental. Nice improvised vibe to it, makes it feel free. Well done Bowie love.

First Beatles album. This one feels rather "easy listening" which isn't a bad thing, but isn't great either. I prefer when they do more drugs and such. I feel like the songs are so short that they never get meaty enough for my liking, which I know isn't true for all of the Beatles stuff. There wasn't a bad song on here until the end when we decided to kill our bird. Fucks sake.

Never heard of it before but really enjoyed this one! Great vibes and songs were all a good length (they suit the slower vibe of some of the music without droning on too long). He's got a lovely voice. Almost gave it a 5. Second listen confirms it as a 4

2 of the best songs in this album. Discovered some other good ones here. Some of them felt a wee bit like repeats but yaknow the good outweighs the bad by a long shot.

Rated 6/10

I had a nice walk around the reservoir whilst listening to this album which probably helped, but it did have nice tunes and wasn't drowned out by electric guitar. Probably a smidge too long but not awfully long. Wilmslow represent.

If you're gonna make indecipherable music at least try and make it sound nice. I just put it on in the background. Where is the love x

Went in with low expectations and found myself rather nicely surprised. Funny! Nicely paced lyrics so you could anticipate the rhyme, and was caught off guard by some genuinely fabulous lines. Fun!!

God I miss the days of vinyl records. The invention of CDs was truly terrible, because it means that albums don't have to stop at the 45 minute mark. This woulda done so much better if it was condensed. It's got some nice tunes. Almost passes.
