I was vibing with the first 3 songs on this, then it became more uninteresting (for me). Bestie sometimes you're just saying things for the sake of saying things, and sometimes you sound like Multiple Miggs. Not much shouting until the shouting one.

Some of this is giving very YOU WOULDN'T STEAL A CAR. Some of it gives Oblivion queue at Alton Towers.

Bit of a nightmare to listen to, proper version ain't on Spotify and YouTube won't let you listen to the original 2 CD version without having some songs copyrighted (god YouTube is the worst). So I had to listen to it whilst doing my spreadsheets and writing my python code, and it really was lo-fi beats to chill/relax to!

Rated 2/10

It's honestly like they want to get a bad score from me. Sometimes it's, like, almost not dreadful. But they do that on purpose, they lull you into a false sense of security before the guitar SCREEEEECHES and it sounds like everyone throws the instruments down a flight of stairs. Painful! The lyrics seemed rather repetitive as well. They want a bad score, so they can have it.

Back in BlackAC/DC

Rated 8/10

It's music that makes you wanna punch people in the face, in the best possible way. 5 of the songs I already knew and they are bangers. The new ones (to me) hmm were just like worse versions of the ones I already know. They do just change the words and keep the music the same

He's still got it! Cool stuff, perhaps not the most essential of Bowie records for this list, but thoroughly enjoyable with loads of great ones x

Very interesting choice of album for the list, coz it feels like a sequel to NFR. It's a 4.5, but I'll round it up to a 5, coz I'm sure I would give it a 5 if I had no context. Love almost all these songs, my favourite is Yosemite or Wild at Heart (and weird on top) but NFR is better x. Lovely cover of For Free at the end which is one of my favourite Joni songs xx

Question for the culture: why is Ladies of the Canyon not on this list, when 2 of the songs on that album have been featured as covers so far? (And it has Big Yellow Taxi on) Clownery really x

Wee fella had a nice voice, and I do like being sickening at the country club. A bit too busy for it's own good at parts, but generally nice x

Some of it towards the end was nice and gay.

Nice bittersweet symphony and The Drugs Don't Work. 2 other good ones. But also lots of what I thought listening to Oasis would be like (annoying men moaning with their voices and such). It just gets a 3

Rated 6/10

Was concerned about this because I didn't much care for Joy Division, but this was more poppy and fun (and thus more me lol). Turns out the best thing Macclesfield did for culture was to kill Ian Curtis. #Maccpride

First song was very good, stayed good. Not always sure about the lyrics

This flip flops between painfully dull (in that particularly male 90s way) and actually sonically painful. Oof ooof ouch please don't shout! Stop abusing your instruments! What did they do to you :(

They ended up stopping doing their own crap music and started playing The Cure at the end. I'm not the biggest Cure person in the world, but it really made me appreciate them even more because they don't scream in the middle of their bloody songs for no fucking reason other than to fuck me off. 1 star

Love that this album delivery service has provided another lovely Sunday album to me. Never heard of Wilco (other than the deceased shop, so sad) so had no expectations, but song after song impressed me. Really nice music where you can hear each instrument individually. Strange, melancholic, but also fun and inventive. Had a real struggle deciding which songs to add to my list, so think that shows that it's well good x
