Rated 4/10
Disappointing. I hadn't heard this album, but I was aware of it's good reputation. I found parts of it to be irritating and smug. Other parts were decent and rocking, but not enough to save it.
Rated 8/10
This surprised me. Not normally the kind of thing I'm into, but it's got a freshness to it.
Rated 10/10
I think I underestimate this album. I never just put it on, but when it goes on it never disappoints. A 90s rock/alternative classic.
Rated 4/10
Not as bad as some people insist. It is pretty bad though. It's very dumb.
Rated 4/10
Didn't enjoy this. Too 80s. Most songs went on for too long.
Rated 6/10
Fun. Slightly more chilled out than I expected. Tbh, I enjoyed You've Come A Long Way Baby more. This is fine, but I'd choose his later album over this one.
Veers dangerously close to zany on at least one occasion. Mostly it's pretty cool, stoned 60s psychedelic stuff. A decent listen.
Rated 6/10
Never heard or heard of this before. Reminds me of the Minutemen and a little of R.E.M. A pleasant enough listen.
Rated 10/10
Intense, dark. Joy Division are one of the best bands ever. A simple, heavy, serious sound.
Great cover art.
Rated 10/10
Another Elvis Costello album. This is a good un. Brilliant songs with catchy melodies and smart lyrics.
Rated 10/10
Really cool shit. Love the dub and krautrock influences being used to create a heavy, murky atmosphere. Primal Scream are a cool band.
Rated 6/10
Pretty cool. Some nice grooves. I think I used to get them confused with Gun Club.
Rated 10/10
I just love it. Laid back vibes, great songs. It's all loose and neat and tidy. I'm happy to listen to it whenever.
Great cover art too.
Rated 10/10
Hillbilly hip-hop. Out on the Weekend and Old Man are both in my top 20 Neil Young songs. Some great songs here, performed beautifully.
Rated 4/10
I just can't cope with the voice. The songs aren't too bad but the voice is unbearable for large parts of the album.
Rated 4/10
Not great. I was kinda digging it until the auto tune started. I have allergies to auto tune.
Rated 8/10
Mannish Boy is one of the greatest riffs of all time. I feel like a fucking MAN listening to that shit. The whole album is pretty great. It is all 12 bar blues and I can't listen to too much of that in one sitting, but nevertheless this thing rocks.
Rated 4/10
Let the record show that I once did sound for these guys in Manchester. My place in history is assured.
In truth, there's not much to get excited by here. It's all a bit too much.
Rated 10/10
Top table. It doesn't get much better than this. Some English guys take a load of heroin to France and make one of the best blues rock albums of all time.
Rated 6/10
Fine. Just too 80s for me.
