Technically good but pointless

Awful. And the cynical ballad track at the end made it even worse.

Not as good as the later album but still impressive.

Brilliant - SideA is a masterpiece Side B is great. Imagine hearing this album back then!

Peak PSB. Begins with ‘Being Boring’, finishes with ‘jealousy’. Wonderful

More shouty than I recall but less tuneful as well. Like the production/sound.

Excellent. Sweet and funky on top, dark and clever underneath.

Lovely - good songs, good covers, great sound.

Too backgroundy at times but a couple of lovely tracks.

Obviously brilliant but some tracks lack bunch now. And it isn’t Off The Wall.

Perfection.

At first it seems like just a blues album but quite a lot more going on.

Never heard of it but a great surprise - will listen again!

Best of the early albums. Lovely at times, 1960s weirdness but hints of the future.

Brilliant - SideA is a masterpiece Side B is great. Imagine hearing this album back then!

Can’t really criticise can you?

Awful - managed 3 tracks.

Great variety, variable quality

Better than expected but it’s not really rock and roll is it?

Very good - surprised I don’t have this.

Perfection

Great singles but after that...

Dull, pointless

Lovely

Good stuff!

Brilliant.

Awful.

Pretty good.

Starts off brilliantly - then some good bits, other bits a bit dull - the folky bits.

Liked the style but a bit too much at times.

Very good indie dream noise pop - last track is great.

It’s the PSB!!

Great songs, production could make more of the lovely voices.

Amazing

Incredible start to a great career

Amazing how far they travelled in 4 albums.

Is there anything more perfect than the opening of Thinking of You?

Really liked the faster songs

Better than I remember...

Impressive he was 19 and played everything but still a bit...dull

Stevie’s masterpiece

Signs of greatness

Better than I expected but not really my ‘world’.

Liked this one more than the early LZ - pleasantly surprised.

Signs of greatness to come

Some fantastic tracks but not all consistent.

Disappointing

Tremendous - must buy!

Dull, tuneless, fake.

Enjoyed this a lot!

Enjoyed this...

Wonderful

Starts off great but fades away...

Lovely..

Fantastic songs but not a cohesive album...

Some good songs but a bit dull - some weird mixing/production as well

Brilliant voice but not great material

Great stuff

Ok, but very samey

Masterpiece.

Signs of greatness to come and American Girl is awesome!

Great - had not really listened to this before, but really enjoyed it.

Peak PSB. Begins with ‘Being Boring’, finishes with ‘jealousy’. Wonderful

Not tuneful enough for me but I liked the spikiness and mood.

Wonderful - beautiful and creepy at the same time.

OK, but nothing great and quite dated.

One of my favourite Sinatra albums.

Good album at the time, still sounds good. Drama queen tastic.

Late classic Cohen.

More fun than I expected

Er....it’s Abbey Road...

Ok but he did better earlier and later.

A bit dull

Tight and enjoyable

Better than I expected - I can see why it is popular with the metal crowd. Thumbs up!

More of a singles band...

Getting close to peak Weller...

Ok but a bit too much of it

One of many great NY albums

Mostly great

Couple of classics already

Really good - I can see why Mott fans love Mott!

Wonderful

Dull

Some interesting bits but ....

Sowing the seeds of greatness to come..

Close to peak Jam.

Great to listen to this again.

It’s not Pet Sounds but still awesome.

Great voice, great songs, great production

Good fun

Never heard of this but really interesting.

Roxy did great singles and great weirdness

Awful. And the cynical ballad track at the end made it even worse.

Better than expected - not really my thing but great in places.

Some bits sound a bit dated but overall, still astonishing.

Great songs, great vocals

Still wonderful...

Rubbish

Spiky

Rubbish

Perfection

Not as bad as expected but still awful.

Still sounds good.

As always, the singles are terrific.

Fantastic - better than I remembered.

Awful

Wonderful

Baby Baby Baby Baby Baby etc...

Good fun, great voice.

Dull

Much better than I remembered

Not peak Fab Four but still plenty of classics.

Not my favourite Bowie but still amazing.

Groovy

Never heard the album but top quality.

The first of an incredible run of albums..

Almost unlistenable. Terrible.

Great stuff that bears repeated listens.

Not as good as the later album but still impressive.

Better than expected

What’s not to like?

Sounded astonishing at the time and holds up well.

One of my favourite albums. Not keen on the skits and a lot of it is incomprehensible to me but ...

It’s ok but better was to come

Better than expected - good record.

Not great

Not aged well - Madonna is really for singles not albums.

Lovely

Dull, dull, dull

Some great tracks, but all good

Not sure why I never heard this before. It sounds awful but at the same time sounds amazing. Weird.

Less tuneful than I normally go for but great sound, great performances.

Brilliant.

Ok but nothing astonishing

It’s obviously a masterpiece.

Better and less GOTH than expected.

Excellent - added to the must buy list.

Liked the fast punky tracks but less so the hippy stuff

Some perfect pop. Great album.

Not all great but great enough. One of his best.

Not heard all of this before but v good.

Love this.

I like the energy but the tunes are a bit dull

Just beats and loops...

Never heard this before - excellent!

Perfection. One of the greatest albums ever made.

A couple of classics and the rest is ok.

The lead tracks are brilliant but a couple of fillers so one star off.

Much better than I had expected

Awful

Sounds great, the singles are excellent, but very shouty.

A good start but he got better...

Good old skool hip-hop.

Great stuff

Good work Jarvis!

Flawless

Wonderful.

Technically good but pointless

Sounds good today - imagine it in context.

Baffling at first but makes you rethink how to listen and what music can be/do.

Groovy

Very nice, with some tremendous guitar playing.

2 good songs but the rest is dull.

Overlong and a bit samey but still sounds better than expected.

Great at the time, still great now.

Great DM album with more weird electronics than you think.

Prime Joni is beyond criticism.

Less exciting than I expected.

What an amazing sound! A well titled album.

Another incredible EC record.

One masterpiece, some good singles, but better than I remembered.

A bit too much going on at times but it is still a KB record.

It is amazing what they do with 3 or 4 chords. Good record.

Ok but nothing spectacular.

Complicated!

Still sounds good but less innovative than I recall.

It is miraculous when you realise he is making it up as he goes along.

I don’t always understand it but it still amazes me.

A good start but they got a lot better...

Bought this at the time but not impressed. Forgot to add tunes!

Masterpiece.

Not my thing but it was pretty good

Not aging well …

Much better than I expected but a bit flute indulgent at times. Didn’t realise Steve Winwood was such a good bass player.

A good Rufus Album but I preferred Want One.

Some indulgent bits but I liked the bits that inspired those jingle jangle Glasgow bands many years later.

Daft most of the time with a few good tunes.

Not heard it for a while but some great songs.

Not the very best Steely Dan album but it’s still Steely Dan.

Randy Newman is a genius.

Not usually my thing but lots of respect for Maiden.

Ok but not for me ….

Couldn’t find this actual album but great tracks and live this period of the Temps.

Still good fun!

Never heard this before - good listen. Can’t believe it is 1967.

At the time it took a few plays to make sense but once it hit me it hit hard. Still wonderful.

Good album with a couple of absolute crackers.

Better than I expected but lacking The later pop nous.

It goes on a bit…

Great pop album in rock disguise.

Pleasant but a bit dull.

Good grooves.

Generally terrible.

Ok - not really for me but harmless.

I was a bit young for The Clash but it is a great album if a bit lacking in production punch and consonants.

I didn’t like all of it but Been Caught Stealing is good and Three Days was a pleasant surprise.

Not all great but Get It On is up there with very best.

Not really aged that well…

Classic stuff that still sounds great.

Don’t like the bass, or the vocals, or the songs. Drummer is ok.

Very good album with a couple of outstanding tracks.

Never heard of this but interesting. The pop songs in particular.

Pleasant and I like the sparcity.

Love the jingle jangle but the sound is a bit thin and not all the songs are top drawer.

Always had a soft spot for Fêla.

Great band - lots of quality here.

Always loved this album.

I don’t think I am SZAs target market but this was pretty good with lots of weird sounds and odd twists and turns.

Not listened to this for years but it is excellent.

Good record - still fresh and interesting

Sounds great and I should like this but none of the songs grabbed me.

Nice, but feels too middle of the road.

Too much of it but still great.

Took a couple of listens - obviously clever stuff but washed over me really

One of her best.

Great samples, warm sounding album.

Love old school hip-hop and this has a game changing lead track. But too many fillers and needs more GM Flash.

Rod sounds great, sounds like it was a lot of fun in that studio.

Incredible.

Never heard this - very unusual hip-hop album. Liked it!

I like all of their stuff but slightly preferred the other one released in this year.

Magnificent

A couple of really great songs but the whole album has a lovely ‘texture’.

Never bought into the Nick Cave fanboy thing but this is a great record.

Love the BB hip hop but less keen on the other stuff

Steely Dan - always good - but still working towards their best.

Interesting and some great playing but a bit of a show-off.

A different side of JB. - before the funk but clearly a star.

Hippy dullness, but with some kooky quirks.

Simple but effective.
