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.
I chose to listen to my hairdryer over this
Quite a lot of these songs sound the same. Didn’t hate it didn’t love it
Beautiful album

All Ratings
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
Urgh I thought Rufus Wainwright did the song at the end of each Gavin & Stacey episode and this would therefore be good but apparently it’s some guy call Stephen Fretwell?!
Very fitting listening to this on the first day with a Labour government
A Minus Menina is a certified banger but the rest is mid
A bit much for me
I wanted to like this more
Not really my thing but I did nod my head a few times
Some of it was ok but other bits were too jazzy
My favourite Beatles album
Umm what?
would have been 5 stars if not for the 6 minute jazz song
Babies crying? I don’t need to hear that
Too Rey Ay was so good, what happened in the three years following it?!
I know this is good but his singing style just annoys me
James Bond/Doctor Who/Circus music
This could have crept into 3 stars but some of them are just too noisy
1 star
Some of the noises freaked the dog out
I feel like I know this music… maybe it came to me in a dream? More likely I heard my partner listening to it. It’s good
A nice surprise
Creaming my pants
A but all over the place but pretty fun
This was one bit of this that sounded like a goose
Sounds like flight of the Concordes
Sounds like Mr Burns from The Simpsons
Three bangers at the start and then they start hating on women in Nasty Girl?! What the fuck
