Thumbs down

Unerträglich. Beim 5. Song ausgemacht. 'blur' fand ich ja ganz angenehm, das hier geht gar nicht. Kommt bei mir auch nicht alle Tage vor, dass ich zwei Alben der gleichen Band derartig unterschiedlich bewerte.

Just too much going on. Couldn't get into it.

Couldn't really get into this album ;/

I began to get interested in music around the time this came out (but I was into Oasis at the time). I look back on all britpop with the opposite of nostalgia... so I guess I'm looking through shit-tinted glasses here. It's also hard not to hear a whole generation of vapid indie rock that followed from this. Trying to be objective... it's well-played, and sometimes catchy. There are a few moments of wistful melancholy, which is a true indie staple. But mostly, it's like they've taken the most boring elements of rock, pop, punk and other styles, and mashed them together into soaring anthems of mediocrity, with all the blithe confidence of a New Labour party conference. Might get a 2/5... but it's also 16 tracks / 1 hour long.

Not my cup of tea. I get how they were popular at the time but I couldn’t listen to a single song all the way through.

Badass
