This must be a joke. I’ve been reviewing these albums for over two years and this has to be the worst one yet.

Fine jazz, not what I would choose to listen to though.

Didn’t hate it but it’s not my thing. Liked her voice and the song with Michael Kiwanuka

Quite a lot of these songs sound the same. Didn’t hate it didn’t love it

Didnt like insanely jealous of you or old pervert.

Not my favourite. Bit samey

Very short, sex pistols meets melancholia

Enjoyed to an extent, not my thing though, probably wouldn’t listen again. Theatre/soundtrack/lift music

Reggae, synth, hip-hop. Didn’t mind Protection but didn’t like any others, especially not Karmacoma, Eurochild or Heat Miser.

Liked Beetlebum, Look inside America Not a fan of Theme from retro, Chinese bombs or Essex Dogs

Really enjoyed

Good soul, background music, long songs

boring

Anxiety inducing by the end

Anxiety inducing by the end

Was ok

Female sex pistols. Was alright

Didn’t like it as much as I thought i would

I liked XO. Heaven and Blue are very pretty songs. She has a lovely voice but doesn’t use it very much on this album. All the talky bits were annoying. Disjointed , felt like it didn’t know what it wanted to be. Not classic Beyoncé

I wasn’t sure at first but I do like this album. Bit more theatrical than their other stuff. Enjoyed Soldiers, slipping through my fingers

Listened twice. Jazz piano on Aladdin Sane wasn’t for me but I love Lady Grinning Soul. Not my favourite Bowie album but still good

Load of noise

Got a bit boring and weird towards the end, liked most of it though

Can’t make my mind up, it was good but don’t think quite good enough for 4 stars

The ramblings of a crusty voiced mad man.

Enjoyed Feel Free.

Fine. Bit like the Smiths, bit dreary

Nice and jolly

All very samey

Definitely better than some of the rap albums we’ve had, enjoyed hearing a bit of Neyo and the song Momma was quite nice. Felt like a long album

Sounds like Phill Collins. Enjoyed, nice and chill. Easy listening

Funky

Dull and repetitive

Was fine

Some songs better than others

Didn’t like Eisler On The Go but did like most of the album . First few songs were the best

Enjoyed Let’s Dance and Blitzkreig Bop, didn’t think it flowed that well, most songs are quite similar to each other but I don’t think I’d skip any if they came up on shuffle.

Enjoyed Middle Man

Enjoyed Grounds For Divorce & An Audience with the Pope & The Fix. Didn’t like Some Riot.

I liked I’m Free

Not good

Fine jazz, not what I would choose to listen to though.

Didn’t hate it but it’s not my thing. Liked her voice and the song with Michael Kiwanuka

Liked the first song a lot. Was an ok album

Sort of dreary but I still enjoyed it

Sounded like the boring songs in a musical

This album didn’t excite me. The songs aren’t bad but a bit samey

Why cover so many brilliant songs and not make them better. Disappointing

Some funny lyrics but all the skits and sound effects really annoy me

Beautiful album

Some good songs but overall a bit dull.

Very nice album

Pretty album, not very memorable though

Liked Torn and Frayed,

Endless Endless is accurate

Quite a lot of these songs sound the same. Didn’t hate it didn’t love it

Drones on.

Love Move On and Me & Bobby McGee

Enjoyed Peg. Didn’t like Aja.

Enjoyed it but probably not something I would listen to again

Not my thing, bit stressful . A lot of the songs sounded like the Cruella Deville theme song

Enjoyed Jesus and After Hours. Hated The Murder Mystery

Some good songs but also a few wacky ones

Couldn’t vibe with it, maybe slightly too erratic

Lovely album

Enjoyed some songs, To Zion and Doo Wop. the school audio was a bit distracting .

I don’t like Another Brick In The Wall enough to listen to 3+ different versions. Not an album I would listen to on the regular. Enjoyed Comfortably Numb

Liked Connection and Blue

Didnt like insanely jealous of you or old pervert.

Wanted it to be better

Didn’t like M62 song. Liked Caught by the river, There goes the fear and words.

Why have two pretty much identical songs on the same album? Relatively enjoyable

Enjoyed Tyler.

Really enjoyed, nice easy listening

Started off promising but went downhill. Brainstorm interlude not good .

Urgh stressful

Definitely enjoyed this album a lot more than Rid Of Me but it’s still not brilliant

Bit too shouty for me

Banger after banger

Nice cheery indie vibes

Not really sure why but I liked quite a few of these songs

Relatively enjoyable. Didn’t like Thoughts of You

Enjoyed

Boring

Some good songs but overall not an enjoyable album

Don’t think I like Prince’s music sadly

Synchronicity II wasn’t too bad but overall just a bit of a meh album

Enjoyed underwear.

Not bad Bruce

Easily listening

Enjoyed

Nice to dance around to

Some good songs that I found myself bopping along to. Wouldn’t listen regularly though, also Kanye needs therapy

The sound of an anxiety attack

Was alright!

Enjoyed They Won’t Go When I Go,

Boring

Didn’t mind ‘in another way’ but overall boring.

Liked ‘certain surprise’ . Not as good as Solid Air album

Enjoyable

Quite fun

Wasn’t too bad actually, pleasantly surprised

Bit boring

Would be 4 stars but I can’t separate the man from the music.

Enjoyed but wouldn’t listen again

Five, bit boring

A long old slog

Some pretty catchy songs but just way too long and too many skits

Prefer the originals of most of the songs but still good to have a little bop to

A little too manic for me, needed a bit more of a hook

Boring

Thought it started out ok but it went steadily downhill

Some good tunes but Eric Clapton is a dick so only 3 stars

Wish it was longer

Some good beats

Some nice elements but overall a bit too long and weird

Enjoyed, just slightly too long and repetitive

Wanted to like it more

3 stars mostly because of Into My Arms

Too many weird noises , some bits were ok though

Did like some songs but others were a bit too hectic, especially the last one

Makes your foot tap but ultimately the base of each song sound very similar to each other.

Easy listening

Kept thinking I was going to really enjoy and song and then it would go off in a different direction .

Not my thing but I could appreciate it. Too long

Wasn’t a fan of The Prophets Song but other than that loved it.

Not bad but a bit meh

A lot of noise

I was dreading listening to this as I didn’t enjoy her other albums but this one was alright!

Not my kind of music. Too long

It wasn’t too bad but I just don’t like the pet shop boys . His voice is annoying

Wasn’t too bad but not my kind of thing

Sounded like a slightly more upbeat version of The Smiths. Fine listening

Would happily ‘skip’ this one

Dreary

If he wasn’t a raging paedo it would be 4 stars

I love the song Heroes but some of the other songs on this album were not fun to listen to

Fun album

Nice melodies but can’t get over the weird lyrics

One star off for the Gallagher brothers being twats

Some catchy tunes and nice melodies but it was very long and there were weird noises!

bit long but overall fine

Really nice album

fine

Catchy put not really my thing

enjoyed it more than I expected to

Could have been higher but the songs are all too long

Thought I was going to like it more. Too long and weird towards the end. Love Blackbird

Not really my kind of music, a bit dreary but it was nice overall

They all sound quite similar but still a nice listen

I liked it but not quite enough to give 4 stars

Funky but repetitive

Enjoyed more than I thought I would

Fun

A bit too annoying to be 3 stars

Quite nice really

Dreary but good

Not bad!

Lost points when they brought Kanye on

Budget Dusty. A bit good but also a bit shit. 2 stars

Nice. 4 stars

Dogshit, unfortunately

Nice easy listening

Good fun. Sounds a bit like the sex pistols

Pretty good!

Nice

Again, nice easy listening

A bit shit. Went a bit jazzy towards the end

This voice annoys me but some of the songs are quite nice . 3 stars

I think it would be a 4 if the front man didn’t have allegations against him .

I wanted to like it but I didn’t

Was fine , 3 stars

Pretty nice overall

Really liked this album, apart from the last song that went on for too long and was annoying

Nice, probably 4

Some nice groovy beats

Definitely one of the better rap albums we’ve had so far

Pretty nice but a bit boring

Not my thing

Nice chill vibes for a Friday morning

Pretty chill. Didn’t enjoy Blue Monday People.

Boring

A but forgettable

I wouldn’t listen regularly but I didn’t enjoy it

Great stuff

Quite up and down but overall there are more duff songs

I’d had about enough around half way through song 2. It’s not as bad as some jazz though

Anxiety inducing . Maybe you have to be in the right mood

Really enjoyed

Some bops, some flops

Ugh the weird noises on Aumgn were not for me. The album started out ok but went off the rails

Annoying

Some hits and some misses for me. Just slightly too wacky

I enjoyed, good music for cleaning the kitchen

Very Johnny Cash - Hurt

Liked it

Too much dread for my liking

Pretty nice

So much electric guitar 😬

Sweet!

I chose to listen to my hairdryer over this

I’m trying, I’m trying, I’m trying, I’m trying to like this album

A bit samey but cool none the less

It just wasn’t interesting enough to give it 3

If I could give this 2 and a half stars, I would. But I do like Virginia Plain

This must be a joke. I’ve been reviewing these albums for over two years and this has to be the worst one yet.

I liked Gone, Music (mostly for nostalgic reasons) but the rest was very mid. Also the American Pie cover is sacrilege.

Just fine really I liked Hey, Hey, My My

I know you can be overwhelmed, and I know you can be underwhelmed. But can you ever just be whelmed?

Is a album full of music too much to ask for? I don’t need all the talking, laughing and sex noises.

The last song was a struggle to get through but the rest was ok

This might have been 5 stars if it wasn’t for the cover of Help and the last song, jazz is awful

This did seem a bit repetitive but I was still bopping along

Instant 1 star

Someone letting out the air in a balloon for 40 mins

Unbelievably shit

I’m meant to hate jazz but this was ok

Ughhhhhhhhhh

Nice, is if but a bit depressing

Boring

Liked this. Sad all the songs aren’t on Spotify

Sweet

I did like this but not enough to get it 4 stars

I wonder what he’s saying?

I didn’t love all of this but it was cool

Pretty nice Johnny cash type music

Painfully samey

Not for me but fine really

The last song let this down, too long

Bit up and down

Go on then, have 5 stars, I’m feeling generous

This album killed my vibe I did like the lyric “sleep is the cousin of death” though, clever

When there was music it was good.

Producer - “we need to make this track a little longer” Ian Gillan - “maybe I could just shriek for a bit to fill the time?” Producer - “great idea”

Maybe I just wasn’t in the mood for this today … found it quite boring

A different direction for our girl but I liked it!

Really liked this, nice chilled country vibes

This was nice and short thankfully. The last song gave me anxiety

A little bit dreary but still nice

Bit too long and droning

Sweet but a bit samey

Fine melodies but rubbish lyrics

Chill

Sweet

Classic rock

Banger

Nice to bike to

Some nice songs but some silly ones too

Nice

Bit too dreary for me

What I imagine death sounds like

Pretty nice for jazz

Fun!

I hate skits but this album was pretty alright overall

Fine really

Nice

I think this was pretty good

Sure why not, 5stars

Easiest 5 stars

Ugh jazz

This was sweet. Groovy baby!

Fun little reminisce with Paper Planes and Come Around

A bit rubbish

I wanted to like this more but I did still enjoy it

Something a bit different, liked it

A slog

Quite nice. Sort of Oasisy

A bit samey

Pretty alright really, jazzy but not too jazzy

A bit up and down but pretty alright really

Bit like Anastasia

Enjoyed this

Sweet

Definitely frank

I’m sorry but I don’t need a full album of sitar

This was better than I was expecting but it got a bit much after the first 30 mins

Boring

Obviously great

Keep the car running is a great song but the rest is a little meh

He sounds like a baddy in a Disney film

I enjoyed this

Forgot I was listening to it

Sweet

This annoyed me

This has cemented my dislike of Pet Shop Boys. His voice is just too annoying to enjoy

I enjoyed this! Kooky!

Pretty nice really

Enjoyed! Punky

The indie girls know what’s up

I’m sorry but I’m not listening to a full hour of this shit

Urgh

A bit too melancholic for me

Nostalgic

If I could give 3 and a half stars I would. Really like ‘So long Marianne’ but some others are a bit meh

Sorry Kate, probably your worst yet

I wanted to like it more

Just sort of fine

Don’t think this is for me

Email my heart, what a sign of the time. Thanks Britney

I liked this but it wasn’t really memorable enough to get 4 stars

Maybe could have been 3 stars as I was nodding my head a lot but all the misogyny put me off

I thought this was alright at the beginning but then it went full jazz

Don’t judge an album by its album cover

Fine to have on in the background whilst you’re on an exercise bike. Not fine any other time

Enjoyed this! Mambo! It went a bit jazzy but I could overlook that

It’s very Thin Lizzy

Ok for some background music

Amazing, obvs.

Fine for background noise I suppose

I did enjoy this, if I could give half stars I would. It was like a tad too long

I liked the album more when they started singing

Pretty alright really, Run DMC vibe

Started to trail off in the second half but it’s was better than I expected. Shame he’s a Scientologist

Shweet

I was waiting for ‘Miss You’ but it’s not even on this album! Very samey album but pretty good

Poppy, nice

Amazing, love this

I really liked this but 2 hours is excessive

I only had one ear bud in but I liked this

Not tooo bad but it is still jazz so it can get in the bin

Rod Stewart coded

This album is all over the place! One second I’m bopping like yeah there are some cool guitar riffs here and then the next minute it sounds like a bad recording of the karaoke bar

If I want to hear drilling I’ll go down to the nearest construction site

Some of it was alright but overall not for me

Last song wtf

cool

Pretty nice and groovy without being toooo jazzy

Better than expected

Very funny

It’s not as bad as I thought it was going to be

Sweet

I’d be happy to listen to the odd song but a whole album is a bit much

A little too hectic for me

Nice background music

I thought this was going to be a 3 but then it went on a bit and was too jazzy

I did enjoy this but it’s not something I’d listen to again so it’s got to be 2

Pretty fun, I pictured a French musical

This album was released on the date of my birth. Sadly that didn’t help them to make a good album.

He sounds like he’s in pain and honestly I’m in pain too

Some great ones and some not so great

Sweet and inoffensive

God this was all over the place. ‘Free Form Guitar’ give me strength, that was awful!

Mostly enjoyed but it got a bit shouty

I’ve liked ‘These Days’ for a long time so that was nice to hear again and I enjoyed ‘I’ll Keep It With Mine’ but mostly all the songs sound too similar and were a bit weird

Felt like I was on holiday, lovely

‘We Suck Young Blood’ bloody hell talk about dreary! I nearly fell asleep a few times during this album

Nice, reminded me of Howlin’ Wolf

Enjoyed most of it but it got a bit samey and some of the songs were weird

Fine I’ll rewatch Mean Girls

He looks a bit like Joaquin Phoenix in the cover art. Maybe there’ll be a film about him called Insufferable Twat

“Everybody knows that no means yes”?? Is this the Blurred Lines of its generation?

Pretty much what you’d expect, it’s Bob Dylan

I was happy at the start because it was sort of indie but then it turned into jazz at the end? Who wants that?!

Sounded quite 90s

I love D.A.N.C.E but some other songs were just noise

There’s something about the Pet Shop Boys that really bugs me but I can’t quite put my finger on it. Maybe it’s that they have such a distinctive style? Why not switch it up a bit lads?

A jazz I mostly enjoy, good for a bit of background music

Realistically I will not be listening to all 3 hours of this.

‘The sound of someone you love’ was very nice but the start of the album had an almost creepy quality

I like the cover art. Interstellar overdrive stressed me out.

Raging lefty here but this musical leftism isn’t for me

This could be good if it wasn’t Neil Young

I liked this a lot more than I thought it would!

Sounded like Neil Diamond, then it sounded like churchy Neil Diamomd, then it sounded like Neil Diamond if he was in Les Miserables

If I could give 3 and a half I would. I’m feeling generous today

This was going to be 3 stars but there were some bangers towards the end

I did enjoy aspects but overall a bit much for me

A bit too sleepy for me

I decided to lean into his weird voice and just try to enjoy it. And I did!

Listening to that first song whist trying to concentrate on work is near impossible

Fine but a little bland
