Rated 4/10
The 2nd album I ever bought with my own money. Rockafella Skank was on Fifa 99 and I thought it was the coolest thing ever. It’s still a banger. Right Here Right Now and Praise You also great
The rest is hot garbage. I’m giving a generous 2 just because I like those three songs.
Rated 10/10
A classic

Review written by my 3 year old son:
3yo: “This music makes me feel like spaghetti… like this…”
*flails arms around*
Me: “Oh, and do you like it?”
3yo: “No. It’s very rubbish”
Rated 4/10
It’s amazing that a man who has spent so much of his life in proximity of Neil Young could never learn a thing or two about writing good songs.
So. Very. Bland.
Rated 6/10
2000s Coldplay = eating grilled chicken breast and unseasoned potatoes.
2010-2020s Coldplay = eating dog turd covered in glitter.
(I don’t mind this but can’t understand why anyone would choose to listen to it when The Bends exists)
Rated 8/10
Like discovering a secret Beatles/Zombies/early Floyd album. Really liked this one.
Rated 4/10
Hey ChatGPT, make a Father John Misty album but change the lyrics so it sounds like it’s written by a teenager.
Do yourself a favour and go listen to Mahashmashana instead.
Rated 4/10
Expect this album to be dropped in the next edition of the books.
It’s not bad but so many albums that sound just like this between 2008-2013 and I can think of a few more deserving of a place.
Rated 10/10
Cold rainy Monday in December and I get this.
Glory to Generator Jesus.
These lyrics should be studied in schools.
Rated 8/10
Sounds like if A Hard Days Night-era Beatles covered Dylan. What’s not to like?

The phrase ‘ahead of its time’ was made for this.
Rated 8/10
Im not a classic rock radio guy.
I’m more Portishead/Radiohead than Motörhead/Machine Head.
In spite of that, this was unexpectedly great
Had me headbanging and air guitaring round my kitchen like I was Jack Black.
Rated 6/10
Pre-listening reaction:
Like everyone else in Europe I am subject to an overwhelming amount of ABBA.
The music is ok. Just ok. But I end up fucking hating it for the overexposure and wonder why such utter 5/10ness is revered by an entire continent. It baffles me… Why have they sold eleventy billion albums? Why are they played in every shop/ sports event/ advert/ wedding/ birthday party/ works do.
Just fuck off you boring bunch of c…
Looking at this tracklist none of the usual ‘thank you for the music’ / ‘money money money’ shite is here. Expect I’ll still hate it all the same.
Post-listening:
Well this wasn’t nearly as horrible as I expected…I even found myself enjoying it at times. Still a bang average 3/5 but I’ve had many worse albums so far.
Rated 4/10
No, Donny, these men are nihilists, there's nothing to be afraid of.

The band The Beatles could have been
Rated 4/10
The Smiths but without all the good bits.
Like a Christmas dinner but it’s only sprouts.
Rated 8/10
I’m away this weekend. I listened to this before sunrise, whilst drinking a coffee, watching ducks swim on a calm lake. I’m very glad I got this as my album of the day and not thrash metal or something.
Rated 10/10
Enjoyed having something different from the usual 80s synt pop/90s Brit pop.
This list needs more like this.
Rated 6/10
I liked this but theres at least 5 Wilco albums I like more.
A good album? Yes.
Must hear before you die? Only California Stars.
