can hear how influential this has been on the whole rap scene for better or worse.. raisea alot of moral questions regarding lyrical content. want to give it less but that would be somewhat disingenuous
took a second listen but this album is huge.
can only imagine what a revolutionary thing the sitar would of been
yellow submarine is hilarious
tomorrow never knows
im only sleeping
i can bang things and make a lot of noise too, but i would never be so deluded as to call it music
pretty good not bad cant complain
i liked it, but didnt leave a last impression on me
With a name like "haircut 100", how can they be good? I feel a bit dirty liking this as much as I did.
Favourite song: Fantastic Day
goes on abit, but still knows how to write a tune.
the last song is pretty funny
very dark melancholic themes throughout
theatrical, great guitar. fun album
pretty ordinary, lacking lyrical imagination and musical inspiration
i didnt hate it. musically i thought it was cool, but his vocals started to wear on me by about third song (the hanging garden).
another album that makes me think how fascinating london was at that time
i feel badly misled. you cannot dance to joy division.
a bad version of interpol and the editors
a few great songs on here. flight facilities have used a lot of it in there mixes
didnt do it for me i'm afraid. psycho killer stands out but otherwise a bit mediocre.
unfortunately the artistic genius that is evident in his live shows didn't come through on the album
strange that this made the list. i didnt recognise any songs
i kinda liked this, not what i expected. bit of a beatles vibe there.
enjoyed this, the final song was really good but could of gone for way longer
i found his voice a bit difficult, i recognised one or two songs in there. it was alright, not sure what the big deal is. it makes me think every festival experience anyone has ever had is only half as good as they think
too long, over 2 hrs long. catchy choruses but the lyrics are pretty silly.. aka - he's a reptile, vegetable man
coming to this organically via a playlist with maggot brain. an excellent guitar track, listening in stereo is an absolute must. the echoing effect of the guitar is spectacular. there is a lot to like about this album as a whole but it is let down by the final song - wars of armageddon, all the random noises actually makes it almost unlistenable.
favourite track: maggot brain
great album, slow like honey was a favourite
obviously mrs robinson is a highlight but a few other good tracks in there
enjoyed the original acoustics at the end. nice storytelling
going to need someone to explain this to me.. besides take a walk on the wild side (which isn't ageing very well tbh) its a pretty boring album.. maybe if i was hanging out with all the other cool kids like andy warhol i might understand
should lou reed be cancelled for slut shaming? i don't know, i didn't say that..
not at all what i expected, probably wouldn't listen again but i enjoyed a few songs. the last bongo in belgium remix is worth another listen perhaps
pretty good flamenco-ish style music. probably would listen to it again. slows down around the title track which was abit more sultry but it picks up again after that
starts with a bang, making its intentions clear: strap in boys and girls this is going to be a wild journey
and it absolutely delivered. almost lost me with the free form guitar but pulled me straight back in with the punchy bass line on listen.
none of the other songs quite meet the same level as superstition. not to say there arent some good songs in here though Big Brother, I believe, Blame it on the sun
very 90's. reminds me of Ric's at 3am. Lyrics were pretty creepy in a few songs.
i enjoyed this way more than i thought i would, but im also dont particularly feel like listening to it more ..
family affair is excellent but beyond that i really struggled to connect.
hardly 'ambient' in the sense i expected. too much going on without there being anything to really grab you and take you deeper
Jangly guitar and up beat melodies make this much more pleasant than I imagined
Very nice psych rock guitar
More of first we take manhattan
Easily my favourite afro cuban jazz album
Not what I expected, good psych rock album. Still can't think where I've heard that opening song '21st century schizoid man'
Sounded beatle-ish
Disappointed with this one. Expected a lot more, not really worth listening to past second song (song 2)
Possibly the most honest, heartfelt, raw album ever
Not even that heavy, pussies.
Actually, was a good energy for the morning at work
I'm going to Spain was the standout, the rest was pretty unremarkable. Is that in part due to an apparent allergy to choruses? I started getting into some of the live stuff which isn't technically part of the album though so isn't reflected in the score
actually felt a lot like a xmas album.
this is one of those albums where its pointless to score because its just not to my taste but its ray charles so i know its good
Sage is probably my favourite song except it isnt representative of the rest of the album.
"There is no end to my life, no beginning to my death. Death is life."
not bad, but not too my taste
Fave Track: Rub 'Til It Bleeds
Peaked with Kinky Afro (first song) and downhill into mediocrity from there. Step On stands out at the end.
Influence on Oasis/Blur sound is apparent.
Sonically spooky. Steadily grew on me over two listens.
Favourite Track: Nosferatu Man
This was confusing, I listened to it too many times thinking I was missing something. There is definitely a hint Thunderfox in here with the fused ska metal going on but really it was the (in my opinion) failed attempt at heavy metal killed it for me. Favourite song was Freddie's Dead but minus 1 point because its a cover.
I didn't mind this. Musically it was pretty good but his vocals are really bad. After a couple of listens each song became pretty indistinguishable from the next.
Couldn't pick a favourite song, whichever has the least amount of lyrics.
Loved this. Perfect album to listen to on a road trip to Mars.
Favourite song - Golden Skans (obviously)
This was real good. No filler, like a well executed bank robbery .. they get in, get to the point and get out in 29mins
Favourite track: Sinister purpose
4 stars for the audacity of the thing. Ended up being a pretty good cooking album. I really liked the final song, the instrumental rounded out the album nicely.
Favourite track: Sex Dwarf - could you get away with this today?
I wrote a long speel about the Beatles and Icarus but realised after Dictionary that it was nonsense. The album started a bit orchestral but then it was like they changed their mind or something and just gave up on that idea.. not sure if that was a good thing or not..
All that being said, it was an okay album which I'll probably never listen to again because its not on spotify. Thanks to Cheese Man.
Favourite track - The Last Balloon - great outro song, trumpet?
Hard to get on board with this one, good album title, nice voice and some good lyrics in there. Country just ain't my thing.
Favourite song: More than a whisper
Belongs on a different list titled '1001 albums with a couple of songs you must hear
Favorite track: Eau d'bedroom dancing
Sounded like an early Alt-J demo's album. Didn't quite have enough to keep it interesting right to the end unfortunately.
Favourite song: Al Sharp
