Reviews (page 4 of 8)
This album is like most by 10cc. It has a couple of highlights but generally there's too much filler for me. Also it's a bit dated. I love 10cc but I like a curated set rather than a whole album
2.5 stars
Bicykle trykket ud i album længde.
De er ikke verdens dårligste band. Men de prøver da virkelig hårdt på at være det.
2,5
not really my taste
like it
I kept waiting for this be a joke. Like Spinal Tap or even Weird Al. But no, it was just absolutely terrible glam-prog.
A fun album which has basically a different genre for each song, kind of like Queen but a lot more goofy and parodical. They also don’t really apply the ideas all too well in comparison as it feels like they don’t have a clear song set out and instead just incorporate all the ideas in a convoluted way. The guitar tone is pretty awful as well, sounds like something out of Kiss. When the ideas work though they work well but there’s only a few songs on here that really do. All in all though it’s clearly a non-serious parody album for the most part which sounds like they’re mostly just having fun and even claiming themselves to be the worst band in the world. Favourites: The wall street shuffle, Hotel (despite the questionable lyrics sometimes) and Oh Effendi. Overall, 6/10.
Very cool - spotted a few tracks used as samples (Dilla, etc).
Okay.
this was sick, some really interesting songs, haven’t heard this band before, the second song was awesome, bangers everywhere
Very alright. Soft groovy rock at times and also a slurried mess of progressive and theatrical rock elements. Almost like Queen with poor song structure. I can get down with it though. I'm not sure where these guys fit in the anthology of rock music. But, it wasn't all bad. Just not as good as it could be.
This was a decent album, never heard it before but pretty standard rock and roll
Never heard of the band. Really enjoyed it. All over the place stylistically but it came across as fun and innovative. 3.5/5. Raising to 4.
2.5
I think this album is weird. And I don’t mean like fun weird or catchy weird or interesting weird. I mean annoying weird; stupid weird. It’s like the bastard child of ELO and The Beach Boys and I can’t tell if the album is meant to be satire or not. It feels like it’s trying to sound like so many things, but pulling none of them off. It just kind of sounds childish. Hotel especially sounds wrong. Jesus that song made me uncomfortable. I don’t mind strange albums from bands I never heard about, because sometimes it can be a pleasant surprise. But not this one. This one felt like a mess. Favorite track: Somewhere in Hollywood Other hits: The Wall Street Shuffle, Clockwork Creep, Old Wild Man
At times I felt it jumped around a little too much but I really enjoyed it. It reminded me of some of the beach boys/Beetles stuff with more modern instrumentation. Pretty solid album with high highs I'd give it a 3.5 if i could
There was one small hit, but otherwise the album did have an interesting novel sound. I just didn't think it was all that good.
10cc is responsible for some fantastic singles like "Rubber Bullets" and "I'm Not In Love"; when they dial back on the wackiness they can crank out some fairly terrific tracks. Unfortunately on *Sheet Music* they show no such restaint, instead stuffing the prog-flavored pop rock numbers on this record with gimmicks, constantly interrupting the flow of the songs with ridiculous digressions and goofball arrangements.
Underrated band (even with a huge hit) and a unique sound.
3.5
“Art Rock” truly is the best way to describe whatever kind of music this is.
1. ztreet - 0 2. band - 0 3. hotel - 0 4. Men -1 5. Creep -0 6. Silly -0 7. Hollywood - 0 8. Baron - 0 9. Lilac - 0 10. Oh - 1
Is this for kids or for Broadway?
Rather boring
A lot of different styles on this, but overall an enjoyable listen.
I'd neither heard of the album, nor the band. But this was really good. Stylistically it is all over the place, switching up the feel of a song mid-track, but it works. Some songs sound a bit like Queen, some like the Beach Boys, then suddenly the bongo drums are brought out, or a sudden samba bossa nova break. I love it. This band sounds like they have a lot of fun creating music. Easily a 5
I dunno. The voice and all that, but this is middling stuff, I give it 2cc’s
I listened to this after listening to in a silent way and it was a jarring difference. Not a fan.
Maybe today is one of those days where I wasn't ready for something so whimsical, but I really struggled to get through this.
Never heard of them. Should be fun! Listening Notes: -Wow I really like this opening track. Lively and bold. -The sort of blare heavy chords that are sort of the distinctive here are really working for me. -Lots of really cool sounds everywhere. Reviews: So many cool pieces that this band seems not have know precisely how to fit together. I think this is an extremely compelling album with many cool sounds, but it doesn't quite know what to do. And when it could be really avant-garde, they often pull back where (I think) they should lean in. But It's good enough for 4 stars, I thinkl.
10cc seems to be a band that had their vision limited by the technology that they had access to at the time. The bands they had an influence on (and I refuse to believe that 100 gecs is not among them) have been able to leverage what they were trying to get at with some modern electronic music and synths. If this was purely on its influence, 4 stars. But I have to dock a point for Hotel. That's not a good song for the exoticism tropes it leans too heavily into.
Never heard of them before. Musically varied and interesting, although that's not to say good.
I thought it was a fun listen
Not sure how to really rate this, mix of genres and the album is all over the place, but it is also fun and enjoyable in parts. Overall, I would say I enjoyed the chaos.
Lots of ideas going on here, but a bit of fun overall
I’ve never listened to 10cc, it sounds like a dad band, but ¨The Worst Band in the World¨ was sampled on ¨Workin on It¨ by J Dilla so they can’t be all bad. The music is hard to pin down, a bit more eclectic and thoughtful than what I had imagined. Life is a journey. ¨Clockwork Creep¨ sounds like ¨Bohemian Rhapsody¨ made by, uh, creeps, and ¨Silly Love¨ is weird power pop put through a latter-day Beatles filter. The music in turns sounds American and British, caught between two worlds, even when singing bad things about America in ¨Hotel.¨ What I like about the album is that the band throws curveball after curveball, always in a clever way that makes sense for what they’re doing. The songs don’t sound the same but there’s a cohesion that makes it sound like more than a mixtape. Best songs: ¨The Wall Street Shuffle,¨ ¨The Worst Band in the World,¨ ¨Silly Love¨
Diet Queen
Haven't heared a single note from 10cc before Damn, I don't even know what to make out of it. I like the cleverness and quirkiness of this record. It's engaging, interesting and fun. But that soft rock arragements water everything down for me. It's like if Smokie would try to do their own version of Sgt Pepper or Dark Side of The Moon. Fun, but kinda aimless. Also this made me think, is "Sweet Fanny Adams" or any other albums by Sweet are on the list. I was pleasantly surprised that they are not. Best song = Silly Love. I wish the rest of the album was like this one.
Quite funny lyrics
Fun album
pretty good art pop - with some rock vibes
Sheet Music is definitely an album i have mixed feelings on, almost like a love hate relationship with it. It simultaneously has great moments and horrible moments. There are some genuinely fantastic melodies on display here and when the instruments sound good, they can sound really good, and i liked how each song had a completely different vibe from each other. The main issue is the fact that when the instruments sound bad, they sound really bad. What is it with 70s rock artists and them feeling the need to commit musical war crimes by distorting their guitars? Saw it once with Mike Oldfield and i saw it again here. Anyways, rant aside, Its a solid listen marred by a couple of poor choices. Best Song: The Wall Street Shuffle Worst Song: Old Wild Men
I don't think it'll be everyone's cup of tea, but I enjoyed it. Quirky and a little out there, but enjoyable.
Good vibes the whole way through.
I’d love to give this a 5 just for how much it surprised me after that first track. I really loved a lot of this & it’s one of the first albums that I thought could’ve used another track?! Had a blast with this one
Oh it’s the 70’s version of “Vs the Floating Eye of Death”
2/10
Honestly i was expecting something artsy, this was just not that, but still like it
Daleko od toga da su najgori bend na svijetu. Dosta avangardnije nego što bi se moglo zamisliti prije 50+ godina. Sve u svemu, zanimljivo i kvalitetno.
Sjov musik, men ikke noget der fik mig fuldstændig vundet over. Der var ikke et nummer der sagde wow til mig. Det er dog stadig et fint album. 6/10
mostly bad music made by talented people. highlight: oh effendi
…speaking of Paul McCartney & Wings, did anyone get a whiff of borrowed piano riffs on the first song? No big deal, yet everyone’s shitting on Taylor for her creative interpretation of Where Is My Mind, sad emoji. I enjoyed this album, in the same way I enjoy listening to Ween. Will listen again
Never listened before - some super interesting tracks. Come on back and do the Sacro-iliac. Will check out more by them.
Not for me. Sounds like Monty python
Full of hooks, weird song structures and funny lyrics this is a classic of outsider pop music
I appreciate the production, found the songs cheesy. Not an album I would listen to again
A little comedic. They wrote what they wanted.
Production value super high. Beautiful harmonies. Cool changes. Heavy McCartney vibes. Dug.
Super découverte, les compositions sont vraiment originales
If you like hokey stuff, you might enjoy this. Musically, I thought there was some interesting stuff going on; vocally, I could have done with less than half of what we got. I really dug "Hotel" and there were definitely some tracks I thought were pretty darn good even with all the cheesiness (like "Somewhere in Hollywood") BUT I cannot look past the fact that this album has absolutely no reason to be on this list. I didn't hate it but I was ready for it to end and have no plans to relisten. 2.5
This is actually really cool. Completely different than their popular song, though.
Loved the funky vibes
So bad it made me wanna https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ypMnBuvP5kA Which, incidentally, was a much better song than anything they're offering on this album.
A hot mess. Something I prefer to watch. Not listen to.
9/10… art pop / glam rock 👂
Я прочитал ревью на rym о том, что 10сс - это кринж, потому что они выебываются тем, что "познали" поп, и как это просто, но по итогу на альбоме нет ни одной хорошей, смешной песни. И я с этим полностью согласен. Лучшая песня - The Worst Band In The World.
This sounds like if Steely Dan tried to make a rock opera. So, I hate it.
Wow... This is bad. It's the prog-pop no one EVER asked for. I feel like someone really should have told this band they sucked before they got this far. This sounds like it's being performed at a high school talent show... and they lose to the popular senior doing topical stand-up.
I can remember three 10cc songs, none are on this album. I'm not in love. A slightly crappy, but good at the time, end track for the school and youth club discos I used to go to. 14 years of tory rule destroyed them and everything else, fuck the tories. And I'm Mandy fly me, a cheesy tale of a dream. Pick your own number 3. Plenty more cheesy tracks to choose from. 2 stars because at the time I noticed them, slightly better than some, and for the nostalgia of the school/youth disco.
This album was really quite unique and really weird at times. I had never heard 10cc before that I know of. There was such a wide range of styles here, almost proggy rock and then some approaching countryish towards the end? Not unpleasant for sure, I think I'll listen again and look for more 10cc in the future so I think that makes this a 4 star album.
This album sounds like 1000 musical ideas were thrown at a wall Jackson Pollok-style. And the random collection of what stuck was just divided up into songs with a handful of the random ideas in each one. Sometimes it works. Often it doesn't. There is a humor underlying most of it which actually comes across as grating. "Hey, we're quirky and silly but we can really sing and play our instruments so it's cool, yeah?" It's like an Abbey Road Medley of Abbey Road Medleys. And that is not a good thing. "Hotel" and "Baron Samedi" have a sort of "Is this song racist?" ick factor, with their broken-english lyrics and use of odd Mexican(?)/vaguely-Jamaican/Caribbean accents. 2 stars
4/5
This is a stone cold banger of an album. Very Steely Dan? Zany but also actually great.
I haven't heard anything quite like this before!
Mid
Eh
-not at all my thing tbh. sounds kind of like The Beach Boys meet corny 80s synth pop and i honestly couldn’t listen to some of these songs without cringing -that being said. it has a certain whimsical quality and creativity i can’t help but respect and i certainly wasn’t bored listening to it. it gets points for that i suppose -Favorites are Silly Love and The Sacro-Iliac
70s classic rock homage! I hear Queen, Zepplin, Floyd, the Dead and Steely Dan.
Inconsistent
sounds like cool 70's prog rock to me. I really liked this album
steely dan gjorde det bättre och roligare
Fuck jag gillar det här albumet mer o mer, Silly Love är så skööön
I have often wished that more of the shooting-for-clever-and-interesting ~experimental~ ~art~ records that end up on lists like these contained tracks that were actually Listenable on, like, a basic musical level. Props to these guys for pulling it off. Some real bangers (The Sacro-Iliac, The Worst Band in the World) on this one. Some pretty funny lyrics, too ("But we're working on it!). I'm not going to claim that ALL of the lyrics have aged particularly well (...Hotel...), but I am going to give them at least some benefit of the doubt on having written the questionable ones as imo it's pretty clear they're going for satire with those tracks on the whole. And the tunes? I'm hooked. Fuck the haters! I'll be back for more of this one.
Not for me. 1/5
I waffled on this. One minute I liked it. One minute I hated it. One minute I loved it.
All over the place. Not bad but not great.
I’m not weird enough for this.
83/1001 10cc - Sheet Music Heard before? ❎ Revisit? ❎ This is in contention for the worst album I've heard on this list so far. They're trying to make some points on bankers, the music industry and tourism/capitalism, but do it in such a way that it detracts from any sort of impact whatsoever. It's cheesy as fuck and in the worst possible way. Hotel really has a whiff of racism to it. There are moments that are clearly inspired by multiple bands preceeding them and it's just pastiche. In short, the band think they're far funnier than they actually are and every part of my being is dying from cringing so fucking much.
Hasn't aged particularly well
The Wall Street Shuffle 3.8 The Worst Band in the World 4 Hotel 3.3 Old Wild Men 3.5 Clockwork Creep 3.2 Silly Love 3.7 Somewhere in Hollywood 3.4 Baron Samedi 3.3 The Sacro-lliac 3.3 Oh Effendi 3 Score: 3.45
Decent listen
3+
Really wanted to like this they had some really interesting Concepts but it was cheesy as hell
Heard future shades of of Montreal, Oingo Boingo, and Primus. I enjoyed the whole listen while only really liking one actual song (creepy clock man or whatever it’s called). Tambo on 80% of this.
didn't really enjoy. Although, as a Dilla - Donuts stan it was very weird hearing The Worst Band In the World for the first time. Gains a star for that alone
It wasn't bad by any means but it didn't really do anything for me.
The worst band in the world is one of the weirdest songs to make it into this list. i didn't hate this tbf.
Had no idea 10cc were so proggy
High 3 I think? Some fun tracks, bold ending lowkey
Best songs: The Worst Band In The World, Hotel and Clockwork Creep.
The same cringe as easy Beach Boys without any of the enjoyment.
No private session used for Spotify. Know the band for at least one song, never listened to an album. Disjoint, erratic and sometimes annoying. It's like it's trying to symphonic but misses the mark.
This is not The Worst Band In the World.
Like a combination of Queen and Supertramp.
Great tunes with a variety of sounds. Great vocals and instrumentals. Doesn’t take itself too seriously, which is a huge plus when it comes to classic rock.
I vaguely knew 10cc, mainly from songs like “I’m Not in Love” and “The Things We Do For Love”, so going in I was expecting a tone in a similar vein to these. My first listen proved otherwise however, and I thought it was completely chaotic, and just average at best. As I began to give it more of a chance on my registers however, I started humming along to the tunes, to straight up memorizing the lyrics by my 3rd listen. A majority of the songs may sound a bit goofy, especially with some of their stories they wanna tell, but look beyond that and you’ll find some really sonically nuanced songs. Clockwork Creep for example is absolutely unhinged, placing you in the perspective of a time bomb on a plane, but the instruments all perfectly compliment the tension of it with a super fast paced rhythm that you can’t help but tap your feet to it. There’s a ton of variety and not knowing what comes next is such a refreshing breath of fresh air compared to other entries in this list. This album took a couple of listens to really appreciate, and it’s far from a perfect album, but needless to say I’m now a fan. It’s like if you had an album full of oddballs like Maxwell’s Silver Hammer in how outlandish these songs are, while being so perfectly coherent you can’t help but be entranced by it.
well, it wasn't awful. 2.5 rounding up
I've heard the hits off this album before, mostly familiar with 'Wall Street Shuffle.' I've always liked the art-pop production of that song. This album has some quirky directions in it, not exactly what I was expecting but definitely something that I'm likely to revisit. 3/5
I didn’t love this album . It just wasn’t my style but I did appreciate the tempo and lyrics
Despite hearing very little of this band, I did know their rep for sonic experimentation. It's rare, though, when you hear a band experimenting, but also sounding like they're having fun. There are a few tracks that I start to find irritating, and then find myself being won over by them before they end. This album is my biggest surprise, so far, on this project. I can see myself coming back to it often. Standout Track(s): The Worst Band in the World (If nothing else than hearing the source of the J Dilla sample!), Old Wild Men, Silly Love, Somewhere in Hollywood
Favorites (nearly the whole album): The Wall Street Shuffle The Worst Band In The World Hotel Old Wild Men Clockwork Creep Somewhere in Hollywood Baron Samedi The Sacro-Iliac Oh Effendi Unique song ideas - there's an element of comedy and light-heartedness in the album. Each track is sensible and easy to understand too. Catchy 70s rock for the most part!
Technically impressive, fun listen with clear Beatles DNA, but it doesn’t leave a mark.
Boring and pretentious. It doesn’t deserve any more of my time, so this review is short.
10cc capta en les seves cançons sons i dinàmiques que en altres contextos seran pedres angulars de l'època.
Album #1 I listen for this project. Overall pretty cool one - imho, quintessentially 70s rock. It has pretty diverse tracks, at times giving Beatles, ELO, at times giving Queen, Santana, Mike Oldfield, Supertramp, Beach Boys... I do not get the super negative comments for this one, I believe it stands its business and has aged pretty well, though I'll concede that its eclecticism might not be appealing for everyone. I have not listened to the lyrics in detail but it seems like it's quite a fun and cool album to vibe to. Though they very obviously make fun of themselves, the music has some very interesting sounds to pay attention to. Fav tracks: Baron Samedi, Old Wild Men and Oh Effendi.
Back to back silly brits, this after Ian Dury. Sophistipop. Avantpop? Genre remains dumb. Anyway they are doing some interesting stuff some fun lyrics some beatles inspired singing - I didn't know Paul had a brother but he was recording an album while this was being recorded. Pauls brother.
I didn't care for this at all. 2/10
I feel like I now know what you would get if you crossed Steely Dan and Queen, and it’s not pretty.
I had never heard of these guys, but wow! What a fun surprise as I think I saved two thirds of the album. Will be back for more, strong 4!
Two songs in and these motherfuckers are already scared to say the word 'shit'
Only one listen so this is probably unfair, but it's not really my era of music and the extremely melodic rock washed over me somewhat, though I know from older peers that they hold this in very high esteem. I think this washes over those who were born after it was released who are more influenced by post punk music.
The bomb
Bizarre quirky but fun album. Reminds me of Supertramp and Nilsson Schmilsson. Makes perfect sense that these guys did Dreadlock Holiday. I liked a lot of this. But it’s music you’d mostly be embarrassed to play to others. Shout out J Dilla. Fave Tracks: The Wall Street Shuffle, The Worst Band in the World, The Sacro-Iliac 3.7/5
My daughter liked it.
Surprised that I found some interesting experimental music here. A bit silly, or tongue in cheek, or odd for odd's sake. Not enough to recommend, but enough to make think "That's interesting."
There is a lot of silliness on this album, but its really endearing. Commitment to the melodramatic is stark. As a collection of songs nothing really sticks out but it rattles along and merits further listens
70’s music is my favourite so this is a great place to start! — Okay, so. I absolutely loved the first song, The Wall Street Shuffle, and immediately added it to my August 2025 playlist. Really fucking good song. The album kind of nosedived for me after that BUT I think with a few more listens, it might grow on me. I adore 70’s music so I’m willing to give it a few more chances to really grip me. It’s not a bad album by any means, it just didn’t hook me the way I expected it to.
Nice sound but samey after a while
It’s like a wacky Paul McCartney album
Just not very good. Weird enough, but I like Godley and Creme better
Good sound overall, interesting concept and theme of songs. Some Catchy songs, others aren’t so interesting though
Yo
This album has given me more trouble than any other I've listened to so far. When I first threw it on, I was immediately gripped by the size and clarity of the production. I thought, "Wow, this one might knock me on my ass." Then one of the singers came in with a silly voice that sounded like a child imitating the school principal and I wasn't so sure anymore. That was a microcosm of my experience with the entire album, really. Brilliant sections of pristine pop melodies and harmonies crossed with inane goofball carnival music crossed with some cool rock & roll sections crossed with some wacky vaudeville shit you wanna throw tomatoes at. I listened through twice, bopping my head and scratching it in equal parts. By the end, I still could not decide whether I enjoyed it or not. However, I can tell you for certain that this is a talented, interesting band that had the stones to go for it...whatever the hell "It" is. In fact, they went for many "its"--sometimes several at once. I give them plenty of credit for that. I may have even liked the album. Who the hell knows? 3.5/5
quirky album. kind of fun. i wish it was either more quirky (a la Sparks) or less quirky (a la most of their contemporaries) because I feel like it would've been more remarkable in either direction. it's quirky enough that it's a little offputting, but not quirky enough to be a super fun niche album. i still liked it and there are nice moments, but I just wish there was more to make this memorable.
Whimsical, bit pointless, studio album using as many as effect as possible tempo changes key changes but all for the sake of it lacks purpose and direction. Forget it.
This is a brave album, very chaotic but equally fun
Amazingly good album all songs are cool different and pretty original
I should like these guys. I bought several of their albums: this one and the Original Soundtrack back in the day. They are clearly talented, but strangely off-putting. It's clear they WANT to be this way, it's not a bad producer, or bad luck. A couple of good songs, but largely forgettable. 2 stars.
point0.
Personally I wasn’t a fan but the instrumentals were interesting
Didnt mind, hotel had fun lyrics
My god, this is irritating.
70's pop rock with some art/prog thrown in. Good, not great.
Such a dynamic mix of music! Some songs i vibed with more than others but i cannot deny their great harmonizing reminiscent of the beach boys!! They feel quirky and indie but yet rock with a lil yacht and a lil art pop. I think i wanna listen to more of their music on other albums because "marriage bureau rendezvous" from a diff album started playing after this one ended and i appreciated it and liked immediately. I feel like i wanna give this a 3.5
I remember listening to a few 10cc albums when I was a kid. I think they were a little more popular in my area (PNW) because of the proximity to Canada. Quite a few artists who were big in the UK but not big in the US got more than the normal amount of exposure in this part of the country because of FM radio from Vancouver BC. This record wasn't bad but didn't do much for me.
First couple songs were good along with one at the end but I really don't think this album stands out at all. Very repetitive.
Every song sounded like it was going to be good and then someone would do something stupid about a minute in and made me hate it.
parts were stupid. parts were ok. most was forgettable
I appreciate the thumb nosing silliness but wasn’t in love and was about to cut the last corner - glad I didn’t cause the Sacro-Iliac bumped it up a star in my book!
Certainly a pretty goofy and colorful sound from this one! It's like a if Queen made only Bohemian Rhapsody for a whole record, and with some very wild and obscure and even political song topics. Enjoyed it for the most part. 7/10
This album is so peculiar. Sound-wise, it's awesome. Each song has amazing arrangements, and interesting melodies and harmonies. But the lyrics are often odd, and Hotel's lyrics are questionable at best. Hotel needs some new lyrics, but is otherwise a great song.
A bit theatrical. Enjoyed the guitar work, some songs were catchy. Vocals were ok. Definitely feels "of its time". Wall Street Shuffle is the standout. Found it a bit boring. 2.5 stars.
I dont have patience for this self indulgent horseshit
"Wall St. Shuffle" opens this album up... a really cool opener... some great playing... great vocals... and so uniquely quirky... the clean production of the record is really stand out... especially when you know it's from 1974... every song after is unique in its own way... these guys really had a great time in the studio... getting sounds... perfecting the arrangements... making sure it was always fresh... they sound like Queen (or is it the other way 'round?) at times... Beatles or, i should say, George Martin like creativity... you have to really know music... and really know a studio... to make a record like this one... as you go... you will hear songs that will make you think that Queen might've been inspired to do "Night at the Opera"... i'm sure they must've been fans of this record... i'm guessing... by the time you get to the end of this album, you realize you heard a piece of WORK... no big hits or real homeruns... but FIVE stars for the cumulative affect...
Je suis peut-être un peu dur avec le band qui s’identifie comme “The Worst Band in the World” (arrêter, vous êtes même pas si spécial que ça), mais j’ai vraiment l’impression que la musique qui se trouve sur cet album est le fond du baril de ce que la pop des années 70 a à offrir.
Turns out XTC had a very clear antecedent. I had no idea. All a bit clever clever for me while also having some of the dumbest lyrics imaginable. All a bit arch and postmodern for me.
Nurse, I need 10ccs of 10cc STAT
I knew 10cc were eclectic, but I was not familiar with this side of them. I was also not aware that there was a band that sounded like of Montreal before of Montreal. Anyway, this is insane and I love it so much now, and thank you, list.
What a fabulous and bonkers album. The Wall Street Shuffle is a great song and any band who can sing Were the worst band in the world gets my vote. Fantastic
Weird for weird's sake. A few high notes, tho.
@boopidoo said it best. This album is absolute shite! Track 2 should have been the name of the album to get the message across.
This is not a review, this is a prayer Heavenly music gods - please bring me a new album that is less shit than this one. The bar is low, I beseech thee. Forgive me for not understanding why your prophet Dimery makes us walk in the desert of crap, infantile and useless music. Help me to be serene and at peace when I'd rather tear my fucking ears off Amen.
This is one of the weirdest things I think I have ever listened to in my life. Also, for an English rock band, they're oddly obsessed with the US. I feel like all of these songs are about the United States. Because of how odd it is, there's a lot of moments that are a miss. There are some good listening moments, but that's not what catches your attention on a listen through. This would not make my own personal list of 1,001 albums to listen to before dying. I think it's funny and interesting. But I wouldn't say that it's good, or even particularly unique or special. Favorite Song(s): The Wall Street Shuffle
Never heard this album before and have never heard of this group. It's surprisingly pretty good and easy to listen to. Interesting music with creative beats and a somehow totally different style that I have heard before. The vocals are really nice with some really soaring parts. There is also a nice synth/guitar sound that I enjoyed.
• 2/5 • Art rock maybe? If so, it’s dogs-playing-poker art • Weird Al meets Yes vibe.
hey this was pretty fun! Love finding stuff I'd never heard of and it catching my ear A good amount of it I wont return to, but Wall Street Shuffle, The Sacro-Iliac and Oh Effendi were fun and stuck with me. Definitely worth a listen through at least once.
Pretty good album! That Hotel song was fun and the rest of the album breezed by. Probably not a Must Listen but I don’t regret hearing it
inconsistent
Absolute drivel from "The Worst Band In The World"
Quite a fun album. Kinda dragged out there in the last one or two songs imo but pretty solid. The Beatles influence is strong with these ones
I’ve had more fun breaking a rib than listening to this.
lol wtf
That was an okay experience. Album is all over the place. 3/5
ADHD in album form. These cats are all over the place. It’s fun yet maddening at the same time.
essentially an edgier pet sounds
pretty cool, but don't think I will listen to it again. Not bad but not extra good either
A strange and idiosyncratic album with a big 60s pop rock sound. Nice harmonies.
Where did the time go? By that I mean, I started listening to the album and it felt like 2 minutes later it was finished. It was great from beginning to end. Side 2 was superb, ending on a high with 'Oh Effendi'.
Un peu comme Queen, mais en nul.
Kind of bland. Nothing too interesting a bad album, just not very interesting either. 2/5 Won’t listen again
Some pretty interesting stuff here. Can see how it might have been groundbreaking at the time. But some of it is just so so cheesy. Overall don’t think I could sit through the whole thing again
1+ Stars (3/15)
I was pumped from the first few seconds of the first track. Enjoyed that one, but then it just kinda flattened out for me.
eh. Some of the music was pretty good, but the vocals and lyrics were not my thing. At all. Just kinda silly.
Maybe trying too hard to be clever? Overproduced? Not my style of humour or sound.
The first half was surprisingly amusing, which made the fall off in the second half was disappointing.
Album 828 of 1089 10cc - Sheet Music (1974) Rating : 3 / 5 Some wonderfully zany British pop here. I went in expecting something more basic and radio-friendly, but was pleasantly surprised by how unique and inventive this album is. I already knew 10cc from their hit “I’m Not In Love,” but this is a whole different animal—quirky, clever, and full of unexpected turns. Definitely fun, and enjoyable enough that I’ll be coming back to this one again.
I listened to this in the car on a work trip and I think it's the first album that made me want to buy the book just to find out WTF this guy was thinking when he decided people need to listen to this album before they die. It is preposterous. I laughed out loud several times. It sounded like an album written by a conference room full of people in suits who were trying to write something to be marketed as a disco-oriented Broadway play about yacht rock with hopes that ELO would do the soundtrack. Several songs reminded me of the Fred Armisen and Kristen Wiig characters on Weekend Update who make up songs as they are singing them. I need to get on Genius.com and re-read the lyrics to this album because so many of the songs were utterly ludicrous. My first instinct was two stars just because I didn't think it deserved the worst possible score simply because I was entertained by how bad it was, but shouldn't that basically be a textbook one-star? (P.S. - one of the members of this band was literally named Lol. I bet the suits in the conference room patted themselves on the back really hard for that one.)
A far off cry from their biggest hit and you can understand the one hit wonder...
It was okay
Pretty neutral on this album, starting off extremely strong with The Wall Street Shuffle, which is just a banger of a classic rock song. After that though, the silly art rock comes out, which to me feels like more "high art" versions of gimmick classic rock songs like Mr. Roboto by Styx or Ocean Man by Ween (I know that was 1997 though). Like if David Bowie wanted to make Ringo Starr type goofy songs. Good, but not really something I'd go back to.
3.4
I like music to be moving / sad / powerful / joyful - I do not like music to be funny. Its not what I am looking for. I enjoyed large parts of this album - some great hooks and melodies- but found the humour/ novelty elements took me out of the music too much.
Sheet Music I like a bit of 10cc, there’s some great songs in their catalogue, I like their Beatles influenced and slightly unique pop-prog approach. On this album in particular there are plenty of shades of Supertramp, ELO and Queen. Particularly the latter on Old Wild Men and some of the harmonies elsewhere, but with a sense of humour and a playfulness you don’t necessarily get with Queen or ELO. I can easily see how that playfulness might be seen as smug and irritating, like on Clockwork Creep and the music hall section of Silly Love, which aren’t great at all, but generally I do find that aspect of them quite endearing. However I think this does lack enough top quality songs. The first three tracks are great, I love the guitar sound on The Wall Street Shuffle, and on and on, but it's more patchy after that. Despite appreciating their schizophrenic approach it seems like many of the songs have great parts but don’t always work as a whole. Old Wild Men is a bit too Queen, Clockwork Creep isn’t good, Silly Love is mostly a good song, again with a nice guitar sound, but it is somewhat ruined by the overly whimsical music hall section, Somewhere in Hollywood has some nice moments, but feels a bit ‘mid’ as the kids might once have said. I like the Macca-esque quirkiness of The Sacro-Iliac, and, again, sections of Oh Effendi are great, the riff and the main verses are good, but the other sections are less good. It's a fun album that has a distinctive, pleasing charm with a few great songs, but it is a bit patchy and isn't always successful. I’ll listen again, but think it stays as a high 3. 🎼🎼🎼 Playlist submission: The Wall Street Shuffle
Maybe the only band named after semen other than Pearl Jam and country singer Willy Glue. I've a soft spot for 10cc and Godley and Creme, cos my Dad used to play their greatest hits on vinyl quite a lot. I am partial to their brand of bonkers pop; your Dreadlock Holidays, your I'm Mandy Fly Mes, your Life is a Minestrones, your Things We Do for Loves and your Rubber Bulletses... Of this album only the first track, the highly Wings-esque 'The Wall Street Shuffle' was on those greatest hits (the synth break from 1.55 is pure Macca, almost ripped wholesale from Nineteen Hundred and Eighty Five). It a classic, twisting and turning 10cc track, great pop melodies emanating at every second. Marvelous. Sampleable riff aside, 'The Worst Band in the World' is pretty weak. Come on fellas, just say 'shit' - you're 30 years old or something! It all just about transcends novelty. Their pop craftsmanship is unquestionable; although their theatrical leanings may be something of an acquired taste. Overall I enjoyed this, and it has real moments of genius.
The Wall Street Shuffle was an interesting start, I get it a criticism of Wall Street, but it also felt really obvious criticism and it rhymed but not that deep. Which seems like it followed all the way through on the lyrics. They were critical but not all that deep, which I don't think always worked with their more dramatic music (like in Hotel). Clockwork Creep did make me bounce a little. It is really eclectic but also palatable. Sometimes it felt really disjointed and all over the place. I don't think its worth a 2 but also not sure I want to give it a 3. It didn't hurt my ear, but there was something inherently juvenile about the album.
This was umm.. interesting. I think the instrumentation is great. The songwriting is creative, at times funny. But are the songs GOOD?...well... I don't know. They kind of sound like Queen's less talented cousin. There's a lot of frantic gear shifting in the songs and they don't really hold together that well. I liked Clockwork Creep and Silly Love. As an aging rocker with a bad back, I appreciate the humor of Sacro-illiac. Maybe that one cuts a little too close to the bone.
10cc sound like the exact middle ground between Queen and Supertramp on this album. That’s definitely not a bad thing, it just feels like they don’t have their own sound. This album, all in all, is quite enjoyable if slightly forgettable.
This album cracked me up. The lyrics are super funny and creative, and the musical compositions are interesting and catchy. Great variety in sound too. It was a fun surprise, never heard of these guys.
Nice crispy guitar right at the beginning. Nice.
This album is supposed to be “fun” rather than just pure irritating, and it’s meant to be meta, which is why every song is in the style of either Queen or Sparks, Buggles and at some points the Beach Boys. 10cc obviously wanted to show off how terribly talented and clever they are, which is never a good idea. If an album can be smug, then this is it. At one point these oddball, pop rascals sing “don’t want to annoy you…” Sorry, lads, you have very much annoyed me!
Quite a creative album with many tempo changes. My favourite was Somewhere In Hollywood.
Quirky, stoned music hall sillynes in an art pop/rock setting is quite a niche market that sounds quite antiquated from a 21st century perspective. I have a penchant for odd music (like the Bonzo's) so I quite enjoyed it. It's got high production values (the vocals harmonies are particularly strong) with plenty of experimentation but it doesn't always entirely work. There's so much going on, sometimes there's too much to take in. Like most music with humour, you certainly have to be in the right mood. But ultimately it's worth a listen simply because it's not punk/indie or rap/hip hop or country and taken on its own terms, it's reasonably entertaining music.
You what, sorry didn't quite catch the album title?.? Shit music, yes I agree old boy.
Like Queen but without any of the hits
Upbeat, fun (pre-Queen?) mild rock, but not mind blowing or that noteworthy.
Once I got past the cringiness of it, I quite enjoyed the album, quirky, fun and good spirited.
Well this band clearly isnt the worst one in the world. Theyre pretty good, tracks like the wall street shuffle have this awesome piano instrumental, im surprised the playcount drops so dramatically going to down 8 million. this sounds like quintessential mid 2000s surf rock, the worst band in the world has an awesome riff, and some of those thingys that you shake and they make like a cymbal noise (google was of no help in my search for what these things are actually called best i got was a sound effects pack with 'shaker percussion' which if that is what this is called then i'll be damned). And its followed by a track that sounds really odd and then it goes to like this kinda like tropical type sound (writing is clearly my best subject (that was serious im in like the 98th percentile last i checked)). I just noticed how miracle musical core all of this sounds. i mean this in the most positive way one can mean this it sounds exactly like a tally hall side project mixed with bill wurtz. This sounds like if everything that had to do with tally hall was ever so slightly bunglecore (not very, and when i say that i mean california, i rarely listen to it but i remember it better then disco volante). Somewhere in hollywood is a really interesting track, its a commentary on well y'know hollywood (they outdo csh (thats easy though), and it sounds so good that the subject of the track can almost be ignored because its just easy to vibe to, actually a lot of these are really easy to vibe to. overall its a really good record, id listen to this again, although knowing me that means anything from i listen to this in full consistently to i will never listen to this again.
This is super quirky and interesting. Lots of good ideas presented, but not everything works. Reminds me of both XTC and The Beach Boys. Hotel reminds of Me And Julio Down By The Schoolyard. J Dilla cooked when turning The Worst Band In The World into Workinonit.
I got their live album in 1978 or 79 when I was 12 and absolutely loved it! It was rocky, poppy and soppy with clever lyrics and great musicianship. Only recently listened to their earlier studio albums and found them a bit patchy but this one is a lot more consistently enjoyable.
Started brilliantly and thought i was going to love it. Back half was a bit of a slot but one or two saves.
Pretty goofy stuff.
Ta chulo
The origin of the band name is about a billion times better than the music said band made. It’s obvious that these guys were never told “no, that idea doesn’t work” at any point in their lives.
Awful. Felt like I was in a terrible musical.
Found this pretty average. Think this type of music has been done way better by a lot of artists before (and after) 10cc
I love 10cc - a collision between two pop songwriters and and two art rock songwriters creating sn explosive combination that reflects the push/pull tension of both directions. The result is simultaneously bewildering and exhilarating. Sheet Music is peak 10cc - within a few short years they would tear themselves apart, creating one of the great “what if” stories in rock history.
I’m sure interesting in its time, but now just mostly annoying.
Pretty decent record but nothing that really interested me.
I could possibly give it some more listens. Some tracks stood out, but some were a little too silly for my taste. Overall okay, but not clicking on first listen
One good song and a whole lot of pretentious, overwrought, over-produced and self-important songs that offer little in the way of tunefulness to sink my teeth into. The arrangements are often complex, sometimes interesting but in the end, they don't invite me in ...just push me away. I guess they're trying to do their modern version of Pet Sounds or Rubber Soul, but in my opinion they fall well short and ultimately just leave me asking why they can't just offer up a tuneful pop song like The Wall Street Shuffle a little more often. 2.5 stars
The worst record so far.
Odd
Wow, I had a great time listening to this album! It has the perfect 70's vibe that I can totally relate to. 5 stars, no mistake.
01) The Wall Street Shuffle - 7,0 02) The Worst Band in the World - 6,5 03) Hotel - 6,0 04) Old Wild Men - 5,5 05) Clockwork Creep - 5,5 06) Silly Love - 6,0 07) Somewhere in Hollywood - 6,5 08) Baron Samedi - 6,0 09) The Sacro-Iliac - 6,5 10) Oh Effendi - 6,5 TOTAL: 6,20 (62/100)
I listened to this a second time and still don't know what to make of it. Its kinda strange but in an earnest way how they emulated Queen and Zeppelin or whatever. May need to see what else they've got
masterfully weird.
Doo-doo music. Not extremely bad, but quite annoying
A fun album.
Quite a witty album, but a bit too silly for me and so annoying somewhat 😂.
It has some interesting moments but wasn’t enough to really save the album.
They had a song about stock market LOL. 'nuff said.
Not my cup of tea. 2/5.
This is the longest 37 minute album in history
This is the first new discovery from this list that I've wanted to listen to twice in probably 300+ albums. I've long wanted to dig deeper into this group's discography beyond their transcendental hit 'I'm Not In Love'. I'm glad this list gave me that chance, and I'm not surprised to find personal favor with the weird stuff on this record. It reminds me of early Genesis mixed with the glam era of David Bowie. For a more modern comparison, the likes of They Might Be Giants and Caspar Babypants come to mind. Despite my praise, at times some of the songs seem a little too smart and stiff for their own good. This is my only criticism of this adventurous offering from 10cc.
Yowza this is wild. These Guys dont mind getting weird! This is what Pink Floyd would sound like if they had a sense of humor. Crazy off the wall music with all kinds of style and voice changes and very fun and infectious. Five.
1974. Kind of a fun Frank Zappa sounding story album. Very creative in its concept.
Was I expecting too much? Obviously I know of their most played track "Dreadlock Holiday", "I'm Not In Love"... etc, but that's about all I do know of 10CC. It started out well with "The Wall Street Shuffle", but then it felt like I was in some Rockified musical west end theatre production. Perhaps the heat is getting to me on this unusually hot May Friday afternoon. "Baron Samedi" is pretty decent and there is some decent musicianship, otherwise that's it.
++: Hotel, Silly Love, Somewhere in Hollywood, The Sacro-Iliac +: The Wall Street Shuffle, Clockwork Creep, Baron Samedi, Oh Effendi +-: The Worst Band in the World -: Old Wild Men 5,4/10
This album is excellent. Hadn't heard any of it before, though I have heard some of 10CC's other stuff like Rubber Bullets, Dreadlock Holiday. This album is very much 10CC as expected, and has a nice variety of instruments and sweet melodies. Goodbye friends. There's no more goodies in the pipeline.
Ugly cover. 1. Reminds me of Foreigner but not as good. Like the guitars in the chorus but not the chorus The break is also meh. 2. So they mimic/ mock popular music of the time. The musicianship is good. This song is either too weird or not weird enough. It's kinda ok. It's interesting in some spots. I just don't care. 3. After the stupid intro it's actually good. Fun but still... There's so much better music. 4. Not bad. 5. Not bad. I mean not horrible. Can be fun if in the mood for this shit. I'm not atm. 6. Same. 7. Like the opening. That's it. Stupid lyrics. 8. Whatever. Dumb. 9. Whatever. 10. Funky head bop. Stupid shit also. OVERALL: Not interested. There's good musicianship but they're too concerned with making fun of music than making good music.
Great band
Nice safe album
i already listen to this one before using this to track my list progress The Wall Street Shuffle - 5/5 The Worst Band In The World - 3/5 Hotel - 2/5 Old Wild Men - 3/5 Clockwork Creep - 3/5 Silly Love - 3/5 Somewhere In Hollywood - 3/5 Baron Samedi - 4/5 The Sacro-iliac - 4/5 Oh Effendi - 2/5 Average score: 3.2/5 this was okay i guess. i'd even go as far as to say it was a somewhat entertaining listen. however, i wouldn't say it was all that revolutionary overall, nor something i feel i should've heard before i died i really wanted to like this more than i did. similar to what others have said here, these tracks are all over the place. i don't think they're necessarily trying to bite the style of their contemporaries (Queen, ELO, maybe even Yes?), but it sounded like they were trying anything and everything here. it sounded really busy and in-cohesive as a result
Some of it was interesting, some of it was familiar. Sounds fine though. Good length. Low 4.
Fun listen I enjoyed it. Some parts kinda gave me steely dan vibes.
6/10 - the songs were all decently unique but nothing was fantastic
Fine. A little bit too much going on though, couldn’t really get into it
Diversi generi, molte belle.
I enjoyed this a lot!
I was braced for more samey Brit pop but was pleasantly surprised by this all-over-the-place (and sometimes hilarious) album. 3.5 ⭐️ rounded up to help offset the grouchy haters.
As of this writing, the top reviews for this one are all pretty negative. I can't help but wonder, did we all listen to the same album? Because for me this was a great find. 10cc are innovative, with complex structures, time changes and vocals. Yet they do this with a lot of humor and little pretension. "Sheet Music" is incredibly light-hearted and fun. It reminds me a lot of Sparks and the influence on Queen's later works is obvious. I didn't love every song but there are plenty of excellent earmworms here. The standout track for me was "Clockwork Creep".
Hmmmmm
I love this album! It has everything from funky space rhythms to country elements. My only problem is that the songs have seemingly no connection so it feels more like a collection of hits
Complete
Just realised this is exactly what Weezer would have done in the 70s, they even sound so similar in the third song. Saw one of the guys on the review thing say that they have 1000 ideas for a song and do them all at the same time, which I can hear, but it does work out quite a lot of the time. Some bits are like Queen, and some more beatles. its pretty fun, nothing mind-blowing, as some songs are just a bit nothing or the singing is quite annoying. Favourite songs: the wall street shuffle, hotel, old wild men, Baron Samedi Overall around 6/10
What did I just listen to? That was such a weird album that was all over the place. It kind of reminded me of Ween. Honestly musically/instrumentally, it wasn't bad and there were parts that I thought were pretty good but overall I think it was just a bit too silly and a little too all over the place. I was intrigued but then I just got a bit tired of it by the end. It was hard to take anything seriously.
This is a silly record. Its fun and whimsical. They lyrics are goofy and silly, the music is pretty varied. I loved the tone on the guitar in the first song, but then it kind of moves on from that and explores genres and sounds. Kind of reminds me of Frank Zappa. Frank Zappa annoys me. This also kind of annoys me.
It's decent but there's at least a couple other 10cc albums I'd put on here before this one. It does start off very strong with the first couple songs, but it does get pretty spotty the rest of the way. It's still unique enough that it keeps my interest throughout but I do like campy British music more than most Rating: 3.3
fun “yacht rock” style album.
Meh. Totally forgettable.
Strong start, some really unique structures and lyricism. Enjoyed but couldn’t rush back to. Very well produced though with some excellent drum sounds
This was a solid album that I very much enjoyed! I definitely heard inspiration for this album by The Beach Boys, Queen, and Paul Simon. Overall, I would listen to this album again and recommend it to others!
Fun little rock album. Comedic lyrics mixed with chill rock instrumentals make this a great record. Sometimes, the vocals can be a bit too brash, and there are points where the music sounds bland and uninteresting, but still a great little album.
i was not in the right headspace to listen to this album. i was pretty down while listening and it’s a generally super happy album. so perhaps i should revisit on a sunny day.
first listen really quirky and cool
Unique, but just failing to see how this is one of the 1000 best
Surely this isn't their finest work.
This sounds like Queen if every member had ADHD and none of them were particularly good songwriters. There’s ambition, but ambition doesn’t excuse being annoying. The lyrics feel like they’re trying to be cheeky but land somewhere between smug and cringe. The guitar tones sound like they were pulled out of a cereal box. It’s got overcooked experimentation, but none of the spark. Not unlistenable, just not great. Spins: 1 Playlist Additions: - Silly Love
Pretty good fun. Didn't realise this was the origin of J Dilla's 'Workin on it' sample. Strays at times perilously close to Frank Zappa territory; which I'm sure some people might like.
I’d never heard, nor heard of this group. It was great. Funny and inventive. A little bit Beatles and a little bit Ween and Zappa.
No
Sounded like a bad version of I am the egg man by the Beatles lol
Holy crap this album is hot ass, I can't believe they heard this after making it and thought "yea this is good let's release it". 0/5 but I can't rate lower than 1 unfortunately.
Fav: Wall Street Shuffle
That's gonna be a no for me dog. Only because I'm committed to this little project did I get all the way through this one. I can grant that the recording sounds good, and there is some decent musicality in here. Now, pair that with songwriting that makes me want to punch out my eardrums and musical style that is equivalent to fingernails on the chalkboard to my aural palette, and this one can go back to the never space that it has existed for previous 47 years of my life. I cringe to think that the algorithm will think that the track I add to my playlist is an indication of "I want more" of this garbage.
That was fun! Liked the energy and the guitars, and loved the attitude and lyrics! (Eg The Worst Band In The World and Somewhere in Hollywood) How is this band not more famous? They are insanely funny and talented - funnier than other bands from this time that achieved mass popularity and stardom.
C'est ok
J aurais pus mettre 4 mais finalement, l'album n'est pas si marquant.
début très sympa midgame un peu boring (les gars se sont pris pour queen) et la fin est bien surtout baron samedi
Lots of great ideas but not cohesive or coherent
Honestly a hard listen. I’d rather listen to Sparks or Todd Rundgren
Better than Coldplay.
Chill kinda bita groov
I wanted to skip the first song, then they told me they were the worst band in the world. The third track started like a bad trip. Didn’t like the way the sound made me feel, so I turned it off.
I dig this. It's fun, kind of wacky, but kept my interest. It feels like some of the music I was listening to in the mid-2000s was inspired by 10cc - bands like Of Montreal, or The Shins. I get bored by all the 70s classic rock on this list, so anything that deviates from that is exciting for me.
it was fun! dani likes this band
There are some bands I'm prepared to give a lot of listening time to in order to like an album. 10cc are one of those. Their singles were always quirky and different, immaculately produced and they are clearly all great songwriters. I have listened to this album 3 times and am half way through the 4th. Generally it’s more of the same quirkiness, though sometimes I think they can sometimes be a little too smart for their own good. Worst Band In The World & Clockwork Creep get a little silly and tedious and are more what I would expect from Barron Knights (a ‘comedy’ group) than 10cc. But overall I liked what I heard. I wanted to like it more though.
It's very quirky and at times the beats can be quite catchy, but it didn't feel like anybody was taking it seriously and so I struggled to find the point to it all.
Whimsical 80’s sound, but too chaotic for me. Loved the opening song. The second song is bad. Do not make a bad song about being a bad band. By song 3 this felt more like a compilation than it did an album.
The only 10cc song I knew previously was I’m Not In Love, which I’ve always disliked. Impressively, they managed to completely dispel the notion that they were a ‘gloomy synth ballad band’ within the first 2 tracks - turns out these guys are fun, and weird, and they rock (a bit)! Alas, from that point on they took it too far, and some of the styles and quirks they explored in the rest of the album irritated me more than they charmed me. Even a song about my favourite Goldeneye 007 character couldn’t redeem it. I’ll give this 2.5 stars, though perversely I have actually gained a new respect for Stockport’s finest and their modus operandi.
Pretty fun album, about what I was expecting
Not memorable for me. OK, not bad.
I might buy an earlier version of this. This remaster is horrible. Album it's self is kitsch like an earlier version of squeeze.
Overall: 7/10 This is a very strange album, and I love how weird and creative it gets. There's so many moments of greatness, with every song being sort of a mini-suite of ideas. With that kind of songwriting, the songs obviously aren't all perfect. There were almost as many moments that weren't so enjoyable. I think with an album like this, I'm gonna give it a slightly higher rating due to the fact that there's not much like it out there. Very fun and cool for the most part. Fav Song: Somewhere in Hollywood Least Fav Song: The Worst Band in tbe World
This was made specifically for my enjoyment. I love every single song on here.
kinda 70s ween vibes
Heard of 10cc before but this is my first time listening to them and wow! Right up my alley 4/5
