Really liked No More Trouble but there's quite a bit of filler for a short album. Could be a 3

I fucking LOVE Christmas music. I know most musicians hate it (and probably for good reason) but there's just something about it that gets me every time.

When I was younger, I was never really interested in the hits from this album when they'd come on the radio. It wasn't until I listened to this with headphones that I could tell the huge power behind the procuction. And any album that originates Christmas (Baby Please Come Home) has to be an easy 5 stars.

Definitely prefer their Britpop sound but this is a worthwhile listen. I recognize Song 2 from Lego Rock Band lmao

Absolutely incredible. Fantastic songwriting, vocals, and instrumentalists including several legends. Not a dull moment.

Absolutely beautiful, if a bit same-y

Well the best part of this album were the intermittent YouTube ads offering short relief from the chaos lmao. I might have thrown an extra star out for experimentation/originality if it were short, but damn this is way too long to be so messy. Tbf I didn't really hate anything but I also didn't enjoy absolutely any song so

Haven't been a fan of any of their albums so far but this was really enjoyable pretty much all the way through. Loved the Bob Dylan-esque song without the annoying voice of Bob Dylan

Was gonna start with a 3 but I think I'll need to give a 4 to a Stones album when I'm done with all six and it's probably gonna be this one so

Not quite as good as Licensed to Ill but they seem pretty comparable

Damn the French have disappointed me. Not bad if I didn't know what it was about. Well even then, I maybe would have given a polite 2, but "En Melody" had to fucking ruin that.

Yeah whoa I can't believe I'm giving a EUROVISION WINNER and the songwriter of "Poupee de cire, poupee de son" such a low rating but this is rough.

Making a mental note to relisten and compare this to the Count Basie album when it comes up so I can get a good sense of big band music. I thought I would have liked this style more but it was quite tedious (and felt a little disingenuous to know that so much of it had been “faked”). Definitely disappointed (by jazz standards) but not counting it out yet

Too bad there wasn't a Heavy Metal tribe on Survivor: Cook Islands (aka Survivor: Race Wars). Maybe Billy could've won.

Sleeping Village was interesting I guess?

I just spent several days in The City but am not sure if I was inspired enough to be moved by the theme of duality. Either way, the songwriting is excellent, and Thom Yorke is never an uninvited guest.

majestic and powerful

This one is tough. Really enjoyed the first few songs but it failed to keep my interest throughout. Kind of disappointing. Still loved the nod to Take Five though.

Such an awesome find! So gripping and meaningful.

Not what I expected at all? Maybe I don't hate post punk lmao?

Fuck Kanye. And fuck me for liking this. Production, samples, and features are brilliant with some great hooks too.

A bit same-y towards the end, but having so many organ solos kinda cancels that out for me

stronger than Dear Science

maaaaaaybe a 3, not sure
