I’m a fan of Van the Man. But not of live albums. It’s hard not to give this one of five and I probably need to listen to it more today. It’s not a five.

Not available to stream

I would not say this is groundbreaking. Nevertheless, you can put it on and kill someone you care about maybe with a glass of white wine and it’s just easy to listen to.

Several flying scissor of a fight on this album, but after much thinking, I’ll give it a four for the rest of the album

Meh- didn’t do much for me, but I didn’t hate it

I live next-door to one of the drummers for three years, never was quite sure what his group was all about. Turns out they’re pretty good.

There is so much punk music on this list. I didn’t hate it. It was kind of boring though. I quit listening halfway thru.

These guys can jam, there’s no doubt. It’s no Sweet Melissa though. I’ll give them a five for skill and execution minus one because it’s not my jam.

I started listening to this album shortly after it came out. I have always loved it so I guess I’m not an impartial rater. At this point, I’m not sure if I like it because it’s great music or I’m just used to it

This is giving vibes of Appalachia and rural North Carolina of the 30s and 40s with their Scottish based music meets Bob Dylan meets disenfranchised 80s youth of the UK. I think the first disc was better than the second one. His voice was too aggressive on so many songs on the second one.

That falsetto was intolerable

I was surprised that I more or less enjoyed this album. It reminded me that many places of the music coming out of the UK in mid 80s. At the time I would’ve called it new wave, but it was probably early punk.

Waterloo sunset saves this album. I raised my rating because if it.

I’m not sure why they’re so popular
This is a no for me

There were a lot of covers on this album and for the most part other people did them better. This may be a groundbreaking album, but I’m not sure it stood the test of time.

Nothing wrong with this, but it’s not very exciting

Not my favorite genre but I can telll it’s good for what it is

After listening to this, it’s no surprise at all that Oasis beat The Verve for best UK album of the last 30 years.

I’ve only given it as many stars as I did because I’ve always loved Tainted Love. But clearly that song was an anomaly for them because the rest of the album is pretty bad.

I don’t like no Young and I wasn’t going to listen to this album. It was much better than I expected, but I would call it grunge.
