Dollar store Davie Bowie
How is another Pulp album on this list? This lead singer is awful. His lyrics are awful. Everything is hypersexualized. This was true in Pulp's last record... So this dude didn't progress and wrote the same shit. Not only that but I'm starting to think this dude is just a pervert. I really think he burdens the band. Sure he could be involved in other aspects to why this band has positives. But just his vocal and lyrical approach burdens this band. If I was in a band, and my lead singer approached our music with what this dude does... I would kick him out. In fact... I don't think this band deserves me to pick out the good vs the bad. Two albums of the same perverted, predator shit.... I would pay someone to not put this record or band on. It's a shame because there is good stuff going on musically but the lead singer ruins everything for me. The first album, I tried my best to enjoy the process of listening and rating the album by pointing out all of the shitty lyrics but I just can't do that for a second time. I just don't care. This was a tough listen for someone who appreciates good lyricsm. I'm trying my hard not to be biased as I confidently say that I hate this band... There's some cool musical ideas. But I don't need to get into which.
Bad
Muy básico

Make a,note to save and listen
I fail to see what makes this stand out over anything else. It could’ve been somebody just banging out the same note on a piano the entire album and I would not have noticed the difference.
Not my cup of tea, surprisingly. I love 90s era music but this just felt like they were trying hard to be Bowie with poor lyrics. Bummer.
Didn’t like the lyrics didn’t finish
Very forgetful. Not a single song stood out. Not my type of jams.
this list has been a bit "brit" heavy so far.
Gefällt mir nicht
¡Hombre, la boda de mi cuñado! Con zombis.
Da fuck is this? Painful.
Normally I like these kinds of bands, not this one though
I think this one made me quit the project for a while. I did not like Pulp at all and did not want to listen to this. I really like Britpop, but this is not my thing. It is very bland overall, very few tracks stand out to me, and many gave me an icky feeling. I might be biased because Pulp bored the hell out of me in the past, so I may not be open to liking this album, but I think I'm alright not giving them any more of a chance. Favorite song: Something Changed (Despite everything I do actually like this song a fair bit) Just realized this was for my birthday in 2023! What a terrible gift.
Dreadful.
I don’t like the singers voice, so it made it tough to listen to the whole album. Listen again: Purchase for my collection: Favourite Song:

Meh.
Naw
Yikessss it felt v bowie and then got weird. The lyrics didn't have much substance.
I really hate this sort of music, almost nothing gets me there
leads off with a song that made me think this might be good, but no such luck. ranges from numbers for a musical I'd never want to see to songs that were somehow written with the hope they'd eventually be included in an awful indie movie from 2005. none of the instruments are played with any recognizable emotion, and cocker's voice is better suited to hosting a children's tv show. hard pass
The whisper vocals are annoying at best. The vocals make this unlistenable.
Lyrics aren’t interesting and delivered in a strange unsatisfying way. Musically nothing special. Overall not very good, trying too hard and not doing it successfully. 1/5 Won’t listen again
didn’t like it but proud that i recognised jarvis cocker’s voice since i listed to the french dispatch songs so much after it came out.
terrible
Boaaaaaaah Wääääh Der Typ singt so ekelig, ich hab genau 5sec pro Song geschafft.
Common People war ja eigentlich ganz witzig, wenn man nichts genau hingehört hat, aber die restlichen tracks waren so repetetiv und teilweise Borderline eklig einem ins Ohr gestöhnt, dass ich schnell die Lust daran verloren habe.
1,5/5 Unangenehm Fühlt sich an als ob ein ekliger Typ dir seine Machtfantasien ins Ohr flüstert und es geil findet. Musikalisch mid Bäh
generally boring album with 1/2 decent songs
Trying to be early cool punk but missed.
There wasn't a single track on this album that wasn't bland and unimaginative. I'm surprised that these guys didn't die of boredom while playing these songs.
Not a fan of the sound unfortunately.
Not enduring any more of these mediocre britpop albums for the sake of this project.
Cheating
Please write a song about something other than self-loathing or fucking. I'm begging. Creepy and insufferably smug. "Underwear" made me want to throw up a little
geen rate aan.
Bah!
Juvenile
i didn’t like this
ass
This is pitchfork bs they are trying way too hard to be bowie, lyrics are cringe af
Quite simply, this is not to my taste! Whilst it's not bad pop rock there is nothing on this album that isn't overly forgettable. As harsh as it may sound, I feel this is for people who don't really have an understanding, or real care, for music and are happy for the odd repeatable lyric they can sing along to in a drunken stupor.
while this album had a few good selections near the tail end, the beginning was tragic to say the least and made it hard to even think about finishing it. between the horrendous vocal performance, where they were pitchy more than they were on top of the notes, and the random points where they would just talk in a mildly sensual way for no apparent reason, it wasn’t a great showing either lyrically or vocally for the band. it seemed to stay topically focused on sex or sexual themes, only deviating a few times. the good selections mentioned above were bar italia, a song that was sonically pleasing, even if the lyrics were repetitive and one dimensional, a story about wanting to go to a bar, where other broken people stay. the other good song was Common People, although i mightve only liked it because of its refreshing theme of wanting to be like “Common People” opposed to wanting to live like a rockstar. It also had a very catchy melody, one vaguely similar to the vocals of “kids in the USA”. if you like pitchy brit pop, you might like this.. this was certainly not for me though…
I gave it a try, listened to the album, but overall never felt that connected with it or engaged. It's not at all bad in any way, and they are excellent musicians, but as a matter of personal taste, I don't like the overall sound or style of this album.
Creepy. Should be playing in the background of a porn video.
Es un britpop muy light, musicalmente no aporta mucho, supongo que la venta ja esta en las letras....
Orecchiabile ma terribilmente svenevole. Il cantante è innamorato della propria voce e di se stesso.
wank britpop innit fam
achei horroroso n consegui terminar
It's safe to say I didn't enjoy this album. Apart from the song Common People. 1/5 stars.
I guess the only thing worse than American pop is British pop?
ahahah this band sucks
1/5 I don't think its their best work. I was physically in pain.
Anstrengend. Ich mag das nicht. Musste nach dem 4. Song ausmachen.
eh
did not like it
Nice gentle Beatles album. Not too pop.
Just can't get into this
