All Ratings (1089)

Will never really get Leonard Cohen...

Lovely, but not the music for mid-lockdown

Love it! Refreshing and upbeat. Listened while running in the cold. California dreaming very prescient

The best, never fals

A but MOR 90’s indie

This album made me feel like I was sitting on the tailgate of my truck by a pit fire. Slurping sour mash with some good ol’ boys.

Musically gold, morally problematic

A reliable old friend. It terrifies me that this is 21 years old

Like Brendon Benson singing over an Imogen Heap instrumental album on a bit of an ‘ambient’ day

Well, its just great isn’t it. Even Yellow Submarine can’t spoil it

Knew the name, never heard. Passes by without landing a punch, very of its time but oddly quite pleasing

Glorious

Hardcore. Made for a chaotic minded morning listen

Enjoyed this. Arranged like a musical in places. Not sure world music will ever be my thing though

Not going to lie. Didn’t last two songs before I was over this

Glorious

Superb

Silly.

Listened three times over.

I rate Dead Elvis over this album anyday

A 40/60 album with some belters and a fair bit of angry crud

Clash covers band without the swagger, the songs or Joe Strummer

I don’t get this at all. MOR rock n roll songs, but they wear glam so its amazing? Nope

Yep, lived this. Lovely slice of the 70s

Perfect album for sensitive grungers with a thing for choirboys

Perfect

Cracker

All sounds the same to me barring the hits

Two hits and a lot of filler

Rawk

Excellent

Pass.

Classic

Morally problematic

Nice enough

Meh

Two killers, fair bit of filler

The best

A bit self indulgent

Unusual and great

So very 60’s

Glorious

Silly

Meh

There’s only so much country a man can take

Joyful silly fun

Gorgeous

Bit meh without the hits

Glorious, not a bad song on the album

So very very 80’s. I bet he had music videos with ballerinas or something

Some great songs. But fades into rehearsal room self indulgence regularly

I feel once you hear a Leonard Cohen song, you’ve heard 80% of them. But the 20% is fabulous

I like a cuíca as much as the next guy, but maybe a bit much. Fantastic album though

Not the album I was expecting at all!

I mean, great and all but I’ve never got Purple Rain. It’s just so self indulgent

Just not for me

YEEEEEEEHAAAWWWWWW!!!

I enough

Stressful

Not for me

Yeeeehaaawwww

Super MOR

Can't not like this.

A fun novelty that wears off pretty quick. Brilliant for waking up children who are sleeping in too late

Problematic frontman. Mgmt-lite

Only so much of this a sane person can take.

Nice enough but a reminder that the early late 90's / early 2000's got a little dreary

Delightfully random

Glorious

I mean, super repetitive but they are bloody good at what they do

Oh the 60's. Why why why

Great

Just don't get Jay Z unless being good at Hip Hop is measured in how much you congratulate yourself for being ace

Weird good

Lovely voice, just not for me

Country meh

We know the classics, the rest are a bit of a mush of big hair

A bit of surreal fun

Just fantastic

Riffmungous! Shredtastic! Thrashalicious!

What a voice

Bleep bloop bleep quote bleep bleep generic dance track quote bleep bloop bleep

I mean, the Stones ripped their 70's stuff off, a few people ripped them off, then twenty years later these guys. How many levels of rip offf?

Comes and goes without landing any punches

Fierce

Nope

Soundtrack for a Notting Hill bar in the 2000’s

One or two crackers, then a lot of dross. I just don’t get Leonard Cohen

Two stone cold classics, gets a bit mushy otherwise

Great guitar overlaid with a slightly grumpy older man who may as well be complaining about youths hanging about the bus station

The most normal Nick Cave album I’ve yet heard

Bowie B sides

Not available on spotify

A whole album of songs looking for an action film to soundtrack

Yeehawwe

It just keeps going and going…

Meanders off into silliness

Meh

Also meh

Glorious

Got halfway through song one. This is the album version of some sleazy twat who has to be told to leave a party because he keeps showing his knob to ladies and asking if they want some

I thought this was just one song. Like se odd 40 minure concept album

Thought the album was done after the first song. So long…

Yawn

Dreamy

No idea what just happened

Yeeeeehawwww

Weird

Well that explains the Levellers...

Bit much

Lapses into silly

Not available on spotify

Carrying on the fine tradition of “F**k you I won’t tidy my bedroom” music

Not available on spotify

Nnnnnnnice

Sick Chucknell

Bit silly for me

Not available on spotify

Worth it just for the opened

Sadness. Tick Piano. Tick.

My brain said “oh good, another album from 66/67” and it did exactly as expected

Stone cold classic

Just as forgettable as it was in 1992

Not on Spotify…

Great listening but monstrously self-indulgent

I'll take Robert plant over sleazy Rod anyday

Execrable. No song unskipped

Lost me at ‘Rock against ass’

Tiresome.

I can listen to this album back to back endlessly

Tiresome and lazy

Dreary

I'm sure I'd be in the mood for this at some point. But for now this is a bit tedious

Call waiting music for the uninspired morelike

Exhausting

Sounds like a demo

What happens when session musos don't have a good songwriter

Right wing rotter.

This is either a stone cold masterpiece or the crazed ravings of some drug addled loon. Either way, 5/5

I'm not sure what just happened.

Am I in a Pixar film?

Track 3 particularly bonkers

Bit silly

Jazz club. Nice

A proper 50/50 album. Some absolute corkers, some absolute 90s dross

I imagine this has soundtracked a few teen dramas in the 90’s

She sure can honk out a tune

Springsteen by numbers

I really want to like this but I just can’t

No more drugs for you, Traffic

I woke up this morning duh-duh-duh-duh-duh

Synth drum onslaught

Silly

Yeeehawwwww

Shouty

This album must have just hit the prefect time to crop up. Made my morning. Perfection

The sort of album the people who made it will enjoy far more than any of the potential listeners ever might

Irresistable

Nice enough

Unsettling in all the right ways

Shouty

Safe

Mambo number fiiiiive

Yeehawwe

It took twenty seconds of track one for me to give this one star.

So over the 60’s / 70’s stuff on this list

So that's where the Divine Comedy comes from!

Meh

Kind of chugs along perfectly inoffensively. I bet these guys felt like plaid shirt, boot cut heroes jamming this for days in a rehearsal room

So everyone had got bored of the White Stripes by now right?

Glorious cheekiness

Yeehaw

There is a Brazilian chain restaurant somewhere missing it’s endless soundtrack

Dross

Glorious

Tiring

What would have resulted if Lou Reed got into musicals instead of heroin

Desperately anodyne

Meh

TWAT

Every single act from Bella Union/Sub Pop sounds like this.

I mean, you must have to REALLY be into your congos to enjoy this

So many bands floating around dive bars in the mid-2000s doing Slint type stuff. Creepy

Not for me

Nope.

Languorous

Silly

What a peculiar and wonderful thing.

Great band, but bit of a borefest

Utterly forgettable. Car soundtrack for 2000's Trevs driving round Slough in their Fiesta.

Journey Complete!
