Saai hippie gezeik

Boring old hippy music

The late 60's period where the main British pop songwriters started turning their minds to more "serious" work is a whole genre unto itself. I love those early seventies films That'll Be The Day and Stardust, with David Essex playing prototypical British 60's popstar who then becomes a bit of a legend in his own lunchtime and gets all conceptual etc. Sports fans if you've not seen those films they are well worth checking out. I don't think it is any coincidence that Pete's going down the Pinball Wizard/Quadrophenia path and Ray pops out Village. Serious artists they are by gum. Now in Pete's case I lurrvve Quadro, and as big a Ray (and Dave) fan as I am Village just doesn't cut it for me. I was told to listen to back in the day, in one of those Pet Sounds moments we've all had, but despite repeated listens it just doesn't do it for me. The master melody maker spent a little too much time on the concepts and forgot about the melodies, now that I think about it I don't think he ever really got the magic back, bar a couple of super moments later. The problem dear brethren is that it is just straight out boring. I saw Ray at the Enmore about 10 years ago, great show, not a whole lot of Village in the set let me tell you..

60’s English rock. Similar in style to the stuff the Beatles were doing a couple years earlier but not good. It lost me at the “fum diddle dee” part of phenomenal Cat. 1-2?

I hate this. Sitting by the riverside is like a nightmare circus. Phenomenal cat and all my friends are some of the worst things I’ve ever heard. How can someone make a song like that. Steam powered trains sounds like a rip off of smokestack lightning. I hate when these square British bands play blues, it’s so cringe.

Super duper not into this.

Certainly better than their Arthur album but still pretty bland. Starts off ok but descends into bland 60’s twee shite nearer the end

Audible AIDS. It's like they decided to create a whole album based on the naff shite the Beatles did and forgot about the rest

Wouldn’t listen again: a poor man’s version of The Beatles!

shit album fr. this some redneck ohio alabama long island shit

Completely Naff

60s whiny hippy garbage

Слишком тяжело слушать

60's generic Brit Pop ......

Boring. All sounds the same. Weird songs, not accessible.

I found it kind of silly and weird. Not for me.

Just hasn't aged well at all I assume, too many songs that are just nothing or even almost annoying now. Two good songs on it are within the first three listed, which means you have 12 really quite bad songs left to listen to.

Not my cup of tea at all

Mega einflussreiche Songs auf alles von den 90ern bis Mac Demarco. Aber das ganze Werk nur historisch zu betrachten, steht quer zum instinktiven Hörgenuss, der sich hier fast nie einstellt. Hörmüde 1.4

Kink? Was soll daran Kinky sein? Schlechter hippy schmutzt, bah. Sind das die Beatles in b e h i n d e r t?

Meh. Hot Fuzz took the first track, the rest of the album sounds too much like the beatles

Wannabe Beatles. Starts off way too country. Wack. 1/5

Couldn't make it through the whole album.

This is the biggest Beatles wanna-be album I've ever heard. I hate it

Очень похоже на битласиков, но битласики лучше. Для расслабончика 7/10

Like if a Wes Anderson movie was set in high school
