Ogden's Nut Gone Flake

Just plain weird

Bruh this just ain't it

Ogden's Nut tasted a bit fucking weird. I'd rather listen to static, only enjoyable to those who have large red noses, ghostly pale and have size 24 feet

Terrible mixing, lazy sunday is the most disgusting song made in this country. I refuse to listen to any more

You put your left arm in, your left arm out In, out, in, out, you shake it all about You do the Hokey Cokey and you turn around That's what it's all about. Whoa-o the Hokey Cokey (x3)

Not for me

Couldn't get into this one. "Afterglow" was ok, but nothing else grabbed my attention.

Interesting little concept album from a band I never heard of. Very English with the radio bits. I wouldn't consider it very memorable though, especially compared to something like the Who Sell Out which is pretty similar.

pass

Wird Psychedelic Rock with lots of narration and some okaish instrumental parts.

1.5 favs: - song of a baker

Terrible

It bored me a lot. There are many more albums on this list sounding like this.

I wasn't expecting to like this album when I saw that it was the selection for today. It seemed like I was going to be wrong once I heard that first song. Nope. I wasn't. Too many parts remind me of bands I don’t like. Too many annoying taliking intro/outros.

I genuinely believe the world would be a better place if “The Hungry Intruder” didn’t exist.

Just a lame album. Poor production, overshadowed musicianship by like everyone else in this era, and nothing really memorable over its quick 19 minute A side. The B side is a concept long track that I was over before it even started. Afterglow (Of Your Love) is an ok somg, even if it starts poorly, so it's going on my playlist from this album.

Twee BS

I understand this band is associated with Rod Stewart. That is not enough to elevate this ho-hum 1960s pop record. I'm deducting more points for the interminable spoken intros on side 2. Should not be on the list.

I have 2 accounts going and have somehow got this album 2x in 30 days. Anyway. I gave it a 3 before but upon relistening I am downgrading that to a 1.

Not for me…couldn’t finish a single song

This does not appeal to me at all. Most likely a 1 out of 5.

Idk man this album is kind of annoying. It just feels like cheap ripoff of similar music at the time and the interludes make me wanna rip my ears off 3/10 Favourite: None Least Favourite: Happiness Stan

60’s band, 60’s music. Only one real hit.

I don’t think so buddy. It’s just odd and not quite what I’m looking for in an album right now.

Unknown band. For me, run of the mill boring Rock and Roll. I didn't connect.

How did this album make it onto the top 1001 albums of all time? I want to see the underlying data.

Wow. Hated this

The Small Faces' "Ogden's Nut Gone Flake" is an example of how a concept can become confusing in the worst way. The attempt to intertwine stories and sounds results in a messy, uncohesive work that gets lost in its own ambitions. In the end, the album reveals itself to be pure shit, leaving a feeling of frustration rather than entertainment.

1.5

Great, just what this list needed, more British music. I liked a couple songs enough until they would do a spoken part and that accent is so grating and annoyingly whimsical to me I had to dock it a star. I was familiar with the song Get Yourself Together by this band. Why can't whatever album that is on be on this list instead? This ended up sounding like a children's story turned into an album. Had to dock it another star after the last song, which sounded like a kid's commercial. What the hell did I just listen to.

2/10 Si porta malissimo questi 57 anni sto album, per quanto capisco che per l'epoca potesse essere considerato avanguardia o interessante

More English guys who think they're so clever and charming but really are just irritants.

You lost it from the cover

I get the feeling it is on the list only for its origin piece for many musicians. It sounds very pub drinking songs.

Did not click at all with this one. IMO, it drags some of the worst features on the "post Sgt. Peppers" trend in classic rock.

Terrible

Well now, THAT was blooming’ weird. I’m not saying that I’m mad with the album but I’m also not mad for it, either. It did feel like two halves of an album shotgunned together - Dr Jekyll was a psychedelic trip with an R&B filter and Mr Hyde was a concept album featuring a mod comic with a whackadoodle fake language. It’s not one star but it’s not much better and since I can’t score it one and a half, I shall be cruel.

p148. 1968. 1 star. Self indulgent, pretentious, drug-addled crap. I cannot be doing with the bloody awful Cockernee music hall numbers or Stanley Unwin's gibberish. "I'll sing you a song with no words and no tune (twiddly-bey)/To sing on your khazi while you suss out the moon, oh yeah". FFS

This was definitely different. I think this was interesting because of the narrator aspect along with story telling, but as a completely opinion based pov I just didn’t like it. The music style is not something I find interesting and it was just silly.

Meh

Rating: 2/10 First half is meh at best, second half is legitimately a 0/10. The narrator makes this unlistenable.

This is #day76 of my #1001albumsyoumusthearbeforeyoudie challenge, and... this week the list seems to have gone sideways, offering entries from the 1960s to the early 1970s. Today's album could be a fun listen when you're hallucinating. But I am not. This was pretty boring as I was yawning during most of the record. And then, the storytelling started... Anyway, I wouldn't choose to listen to this ever again. Welcome to the company of 1 out of 5. Looking forward to #day77.

A couple of good songs in Lazy Sunday and Afterglow but apart from that I really didnt understand the album at all. Lots of nonsense. Favourite song: Lazy Sunday Least favourite: All of the album Album artwork: Cool cover

The worse

Got real chatty. Maybe it was funny at the time. The rest of the record is generic 60s.

Der er få gode elementer smidt rundt her og der. Men det drukner i latterlige druksange og højtlæsning af eventyr. Som helt album er det et ulideligt lyt

Lazy Sunday Afternoon is a classic. The rest of the album less so. You’d be seriously annoyed if you bought this based on that one song.

The nuts and bolts are good All the talking stuff is so bad, unforgivably horrendously bad. Annoying, cringey, waste of time At times it sounds like B Sides from Fagans gang in oliver twist. Turning things up and down and panning instruments alone doesn't make something experimental. I think the biggest factor in the rating will be.. when it finished, the idea of playing it again turned my stomach slightly Its a 2 or a 1

Quanto mais tempo passa nesse desafio, mas genérica começam a soar as músicas. kkkkkk

No

It was whimsical but a bit too hippie for me.

Bizarre clockwork orange style interludes

My favourite track from this album wasn’t even on this album. It was the first track of the Spotify radio playlist that started after this album finished. It wasn’t even by this band. It was by The Monkees and I hate the Monkees. So let’s recap 1. Totally forgettable album 2. Best Track Isn’t Even On The Album 3. Best Track isn’t even by Small Faces 4. Best Track is by a band I hate 1.2

it’s an album

Absolutely terrible.

Not a fan

Psychedelic happy-go-lucky campy songs

Really didn’t like this, which included several tracks of narration. I can only give this 1 star.

👎

60s shit I hate

Sometimes this list is very English and this pick feels that way to me today. It was difficult to focus on this record during multiple attempts. There were a few flashes of brilliance of the course of the album that would pull me in but then there were a number of elements (in the music and the skit like voiceovers) that simply didn't resonate with me. One way to rate the music when you are tied between a one star or a two star review is to honestly answer the question of whether or not you were relieved once it was over.

British men are insufferable and this is proof.

Just not for me.

Odd

Oikeasti en inhonnut tätä, mutta en yhtään tiedä, mikä tää on. Ja ärsyttävä konsepti.

Se, miltä kuvittelemme isiemme musiikin kuulostavan, kun toivomme, ettei meidän tarvitsisi antaa sille mahdollisuutta.

The jangly 60s stuff was tolerable but the quirky storytelling stuff was utter garbage.

No thank you.

Look you can't like all musical styles, so I expected there would be a few albums I struggled with. But I've been listening to rock my entire life with a particular fondness for 60's rock. Not familiar with the Small Faces, but no the Faces. Anyways the album starts and it's not too bad, I can see why they needed to add Rod Stewart and Ronnie Wood. Then Happiness Stan came on and I couldn't listen anymore. Get outta here with that Ren Faire, Shire of Frodo reject. Not an album I needed to hear before I die.

Nah

This was not for me.

What rubbish

Too psychedalic for me and in my opinion outdated.

I think a lot of people will know Lazy Sunday, it's one of those songs my Dad would half sing around the house when I was growing up at least. I'm not really a fan of psychedelic rock (and really dislike most prog rock), though I can leave it on in the background like the radio and find it inoffensive. B side of the album is crap. Not sure I'll stretch to 2 on it even though there are a couple of good tracks.

Track 1: Ogden’s Nut Gone Flake Ight so this is a 2 different sides typa track like all the 60s shit. i kinda rock w that stuff sometimes, wouldn’t listen without both headphones. kinda sounds like a symphony like all the instruments sound really unique. that synth blast around 1:35 came in hard. pretty good into. little drum part that goes thru both earphones is cool. Track 2: Afterglow of your love Acoustic intro is meh, sounds very bland so far, breakdown is tryna build something up, this feels really generic, tryna sound all deep and lovey but it seems like shit people have said a million times before. it was the 60s however so i guess for something of that time period it isn’t that bad Track 3: Long shos and worlds apart I like the quick into, bass sound plucky n nice, i like the guitar tone, interlude was ok, kid of repetitive at the end Track 4: Rene i immediately at uncomfortable by the voice but i think it might grow on me, i’m tryna focus on the music but the lyrics sound so awful that i can’t pay attention, oh my god i take it back this sounds genuinely terrible but hopefully rhis musical section sounds good, nah not a fan Track 5: Song of a baker Guitar sounds good, oh fuck why are they talking about weeds in the field, ugh the lyrics suck again i’m already sick OH WAIT THE GUITAR SOLO IS BRINGING IT BACK just stopped me from skipping ok the end wasn’t terrible Track 6: Lazy Sunday OH MY GOD I FUCKING HATE HIS VOICE if this was someone else’s voice i feel like the album wouldn’t be as terrible. he just fucking said rootidootidie kill me im done with this album ALBUM LEFT UNFINISHED

I did not enjoy it.

Lame. Non sensical monologues. Infuriating.

Absolute shite.

As soon as I saw the title for this album I knew that it wouldn’t even be a quarter as good musically as the title is, I was correct. This is like classic rock that wasn’t good enough to make it to a small town rock station to be overplayed. I had a hard time listening, it was boring and didn’t keep my interest whatsoever. Won’t recommend ever. To borrow a phrase, this isn’t Walmart uk rock, this is Biway uk rock.

eh. Didn't listen super closely but didn't like what I heard

Concept album, not my thing

Not for me. At all.
