A few dirges, but it does contain The Killing Moon. So it's great.

Pretty sure that's Wooky Hole.

Argument for Rip It Up being the greatest song to come from Scotland

My kind of 70s white, male, guitar-led, grandad rock. Supreme talent without indulgence. Immaculate.

Bored by them then, bored by them now. White Winter Hymnal is an aberration though. In love with that one.

Nah

On a tier of truly special all-timers that have had a profound impact on culture; contain timely, meaningful commentary on contemporary life (either politically or personally); and are so musically accomplished, pushing the boundaries of pop music at the time in a way that sounds fresh and exciting, yet rooted in its history (see also MBDTF, OK Computer, Is This It, Back to Black etc).

Preferred them before Elon Musk joined and they were known as Twitter.

Don't mind some of what's happening here musically (could imagine some tracks on a Beck album, and Joe C is fun). But that voice, those lyrics, that attitude, that hair, that man - eurgh, eurgh, eurgh.

Bit of a more melodic grunge. Don't mind it. Awful cover though.

Whatever I like in music, this isn't it

Stacked first side, and some still very good songs on the second. Can easily see how this made them the world's biggest rock band.

Always a pleasant listen. But just doesn't grab me. Too much guitar shit going on.

Very good guitar work. But can't get over my dislike of whiny American males that sound on the verge of crying. Apart from Conor Oberst.

Love it. Among my favourite discoveries via this project.

Mixed bag. Couple of proper bangers though.

Remember this being one of the early big Pitchfork ones. Never quite got into though. Bit too proggy.

So well produced. Everything sounds amazing.

Not sure about the cover. Michael actually appears to be on the wall, not off it.

One star, per paedo protocol.

Don't mind it. Minus a star for apostrophe misuse.

Couldn't quite get into it
