It needed more energy and more from the backing band, because his vocals are definitely not good enough by themselves.

Saying that some of the bass lines I liked, and a bit of the guitar work was ok. A couple of tracks I liked, such as Lipstick Vogue and The Beat. The rest were just boring and needed something more

I just don't get the appeal unfortunately. I'm all for experimental stuff and it's these types of albums that probably should make the list due to their uniqueness, but it just didn't click. I don't like the production, the synth, and hated the vocals.

It's not terrible, I think - I guess? It's just incredibly dull and uneventful. If it was a 30 minute album rather than an hour maybe I'd have given it a 2, but it has no right to take up that much time whilst being one of the most boring albums I've ever listened too

His vocals suck too

I think it's inferior to BSSM in pretty much every way. I prefer the energy, the riffs, the bass, the guitar tone, etc. on their other album on here. The only thing the same is Anthony's voice, which has definitely grown on me more and more I listen to these guys

That's not to say that Californication is bad by any means. It's still a great album. It has its songs, like This Velvet Globe and Emit Remmus, but the highs aren't as high and the lows are lower.

An album full of covers, that are all sub-par versions of their originals. They sound disjointed and I don't think suit the style of the Rolling Stones

It's probably a harsh 1, but they've done miles better after that. It's also definitely not one to listen to before you die, and there are miles better artists and albums you can listen to in this genre for better music

Pretty decent record, nice café background music. It was quite nice for a Sunday morning

Got more boring as it went on

Quite the mixed bag to be honest

Some tracks were decent, like You're All I've Got Tonight and the ending track

Most tracks were fine, just dull.

Then there was whatever the fuck I'm in Touch with Your World was

Levels out to a 2, maybe just off a 3

Quite enjoyed this one in many aspects. Loved the bass and the acoustic guitar, and the more random instruments like the violin and trumpet in a couple of songs were a lovely touch. Vocals were good on some tracks too but worse on others.

The first two tracks were amazing, alongside The Red Telephone. Only thing stopping me from giving it a 5 is there was a considerable drop off from the good songs and the bad, like Old Man.

For someone who isn't massively into his 60s music, this is for sure one of the better ones I've listened to

I've had a fair few albums similar to this - similar in terms of tempo and atmosphere - and they've all just been boring. They aren't terrible by any means, but nothing sticks to make it memorable. The best way to describe these would be inoffensive, I guess

It's fun, it's catchy, it's vibes, I like

I like this, it reminds me of Discovery by Daft Punk - which, by the way, is not on this list. I find that disgraceful.

Some of these bass lines are amazing. It's a great chilled album, vocals are decent too

I think the first track is superb, but it drops of a bit after that.

Great listen tho

Pretty standard, generic dad rock band, can't go wrong with it

Ended nicely on my favorite track on this, You See Me Crying

Not a massive fan of indie rock, this album kinda explains that

The guitar tone I quite like and some of the riffs are decent, but that's about all she wrote for the positives

Everything else is pretty shite, especially the vocals. Oh my fucking God they suck so bad it's like he's singing in the shower. At least act like you want to be there

I was gonna give it a 2 but it gives me the same wincing, grim feeling the rest of the albums I've rated 1 give me

If I had to choose only one word it rate it with it'd be overrated - quite a common theme on this website tbh

How Mr Brightside is as popular as it is baffles me. It's mediocre AT A PUSH, and I blame every karaoke bar, radio station and shitty house party for decimating it even further

Most of the "hits" on this album are a similar case, but the opening track and Somebody Told Me are admittedly pretty decent

The rest - the filler, I guess - is just forgettable. I appreciate Everything Will Be Alright for being different, but it was still not anything special

Some of the tracks are way too cheesy, but others are some of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard

Richard's voice is decent, but Karen's is a thing of gold. These harmonies are insanely good too

It's not one to listen to often, I think I have to be in the right mood to enjoy this properly

Old school hip hop is definitely the best form of rap. This one is more fun and light hearted compared to others

The main hits are good, but it's the songs I'm not seeing getting talked about as much that are the proper bangers, for example Hit It Run and the title track

The beats are good but get a tad repetitive. It also ends on a couple weaker songs which is why I'm not giving it a 5

Mid

The more well known songs are good, like the title track and Smooth Criminal, but the rest don't really live up to the same heights.

His vocals don't do the backing track justice. Some of these basslines are amazing. If his voice was better it could be a 5 star album

I wasn't sure at first but it grew on me. Maybe slightly too long and rather repetitive, but I still enjoyed it

The vocals were good and fit the music well, especially on Ko Wone Mayo

I was scrolling through the reviews to this on here and saw someone saw this album was inoffensive, which I think is the perfect word to describe it. It's decent, but sounds like every other 80s British New Wave/Post Punk band that are littered in abundance in this list.

Only real standout quality was that I liked the bass in some songs. Everything else was just forgetful
