I usually don't mind Air (I own Moon Safari) but I found this tedious. Maybe it helps to see the film...

Yeah liked that. Four stars possibly just because it's new to me.

Not a big fan. The odd song was OK.

Quite bland. Like a Sunday afternoon at home.

Enjoyable.

Already own this. Its a strong album although I think it does dip toward the middle/end.

Enjoyable. The start of the album is excellent and I think the tail-end (signified by 'Can't Get No Satisfaction') wanes enough to lose a star.

Not really my thing. Quite dreary.

Classic rock. Whats not to like?

Wasn't too keen to start but it grew on me.

Didn't like it. Drony.

Another one that grew on me. Massively 80's. I Don't Believe in You and Give It Up were good.

Good start but a little bit noodly toward the end. Live albums tend to disappoint.

Eclectic but quite enjoyable.

Vervey. Nice enough.

Never even crossed my radar before but liked it. The fact Jah Wobble used to work for LU is also cool.

Part of that mid-00's indie rock that I really don't like I'm afraid.

Very evocative and almost a 60's parody. Grew on me at first and then grew tiresome.

Not for me. Far too self-indulgent toward the end.

Very enjoyable.

In the desert that was the noughties, this wasn't terrible.

Nothing there to interest me really.

Yeah it was OK. Fairly generic country.

Slightly disappointing. Was expecting more.

A tough one to rate. Not my favourite Tom Waits album but good enough for a low 4 I think.

Not much to say. Its a cultural touch stone.

No. Maybe I wasn't paying attention but sounded like someone trying to tune a radio.

Tough one. Didn't dislike it but don't think I'd listen to it again so...

The songs were OK but it sounds like it was being sung by a strangled cat.

Hard to see past how it was mocked and parodied. Bland but inoffensive.

Excellent.

Alright. Not overly memorable.

A lowish 4 I think.

Didn't like but I think my expectations were confused with 'Supergrass' so was expecting upbeat pop rather than dirty stuff. Overly harsh rating...

Whats not to like. Standard.

The concept was better than the execution. Feel a bit mean to only give it two stars as I felt like they reached for the stars but frankly I wouldn't rush to listen again.

Enjoyed it. I think it just missed a four stars by a smidge for no quantifiable reason.

Enjoyable. Don't want to feel too stingy so will give it a 4 for 'Lost Someone' alone.

Strange that I enjoyed it more than I expected. Particularly the slightly cheesy 80s stuff :)

Enjoyed it. Struggled with the rating - there are a couple of bangers but also some filler. A high 3 I think (I've been too generous this week).

I get there was an ambient vibe but not really my bag.

It was quite nice but did nothing to grab me.

Apart from a couple of standout tracks, it didn't grab my attention.

Had promise but for me didn't deliver.

No didn't like this one either. Sounded like the soundtrack to a rubbish 90s film.

Better than expected. A few classics but tails off a little.

Enjoyed it a lot. It may just have been a case of capturing my mood perfectly as a lay in bed feeling under the weather.

I usually don't mind Air (I own Moon Safari) but I found this tedious. Maybe it helps to see the film...

Grew on me over the course of the day.

Found it really hard to rate due to the ubiquity of some of the songs in popular culture.

Excellent. Maybe could've been 5 stars but just missed out.

On the whole very enjoyable although I thought the quality between songs was varied.

Possibly not in the right mood for it today but it didn't grab me in anyway.

Strangely never heard of this band before. Quite good...

Good.

Dylan live - not sure about that.

Fine.

Tough one. I'll give it a four just to separate it from some of the threes but probably not as good as some of the fours!

Meh... not a big fan really. Shocking!

What was that?!

Whats not to like?!

Very evocative. A few absolute classics and a fair bit of filler as well.

Another great album. I feel like I'm being very generous recently but its been a good run.

Some excellent songs that define an era but probably not something on the whole I'd go back to. Although I may just be being unfair due to my recent run of fours.

Felt like it should and could have been better than it was.

Couple of good songs but nothing special. Probably a little harsh on the rating.

I've never got on with Nick Drake. Too droney.

Not that keen to start with but it did grow on me. A couple of really good tracks towards the end.

Bit harsh perhaps but it wasn't as good as Automatic for the People so...

Liked this. Took a couple of listens and the 'extended' version isn't worth the hassle.

Fairly uninspiring jazz. Sunday afternoon BBC mystery soundtrack.

Meh. It was fine but I'm starting to expect more than that...

Enjoyed it. It was fun.

Yeah fine. Easy listening but nothing special.

Never really liked it. 2 stars because it isn't unlistenable.

Tails off but four stars just for the first six or so songs on disk 1.

I liked it actually. A few good tracks but the album works well together as a narrative.

Oh, no.

Meh.

Fine. Nothing really stood out though.

Easy listening but didn't grab me.

A classic.

I'm being perhaps a little provocative but...

It was OK. Nothing special but strung along.

A few classics but the sort of macho-Americano punk is not my favourite.

Was alright. Liked Fisherman's Blues....

Its OK as ambient music but I cannot really remember a thing about it.

Some great songs but not a great album.

Probably a bit harsh but it grated on me whilst I was trying to concentrate.

Good stuff.

Better.

Easy listening. Nothing to take offence too.

More of an Oasis person in the 90s but I liked this. It was a bit more varied.

Yeah pretty good as far as the jazz stuff we've had so far goes.

Ok. Not enough for 4 stars I don't think.

Sounded like Meatloaf. Not as good.

Probably not a far go because I was away from home. Seemed OK in what I heard.

Yeah liked that. Four stars possibly just because it's new to me.

Bit warbly.

Just like the other Bowie album. Some great songs but otherwise nothing astonishing.

Too dreary.

Unremitting. I didn't mind it when I was concentrating/working but not the kind of thing I'd put on a lazy Summer evening.

Yeah OK.

Not really my thing but I can see why people like it.

I think I would like it more on repeated listens but not really grabbing me.

Pleasant. I don't think I would listen again though...

I remember a huge buzz about this at the time and I was non-plussed at the time. Still am really... its fine...

I mean its not terrible but I just cannot be bothered with it. Its silly.

Unremarkable.

Fine.

Good whilst its on but I probably wouldn't be in a rush to listen again.

Maybe its me, maybe its the music but I seem to be in a bit of a 3-star rut. This was fun but I wouldn't be hankering for more...

Finally something a bit different. Still only gets three stars but...

Eurgh!

Struggled to actually listen to the album through the links. Not sure if that was just me...

I thought it was a solid 3 but then I was looking through for special mentions and more than half the songs - so I guess a 4 then...

Needs to be listened to loudly. Good stuff.

I expected more but it was OK. Good for dancing.

I expected more. It was just fairly inoffensive dad-rock in the end.

Enjoyed it. Good background music.

I think one of the two most formative albums of my youth.

Hilariously French. I did enjoy listening to it but not sure if musically or for the fun. As such I'm not sure I can give it three stars because would it become grating over time....?

Maybe its because it was the day of the England semi-final but I wasn't really feeling this today.

Fine.

Classic.

Probably wasn't really in the mood. It wasn't bad but also had no interest...

Liked it less than I thought I would. I guess I was right all those years...

It was OK. I thought at times it was a 2.5-er. As I've been grumpy this week I may as well keep that going.

Not for me. Droany and always on these lists.

Really liked it. It's a really high 3. Maybe a 3.9. Ah fine I'll give it a 4.

Really good. Not something you listened to song by song or very often.

Its times like this that I'd changed my rating system earlier. So this is just OK which is now going to be 2 stars from here on...

Definitely the best of the Bowie albums we've had so far.

Loved it. Just what I needed.

Probably the best jazz so far.

Funny when an album happens to hit your own mood.

Was alright. Not really my cup of tea. Nice to hear the Father Ted theme-tune though.

Was a little disappointed if I'm honest.

Nothing remarkable.

Quite enjoyable but forgettable.

Was fine while I was working but not sure I could distinguish one song from another.

Yeah ok. Raucous.

Liked it. Thought I'd like it more tbh.

Fairly standard 80s pop.

Yeah ok. Enjoyable even.

Not really my thing. Although it wasn't unpleasant enough for one star.

Enjoyed it. Was better in the evening than the day time.

Liked it but its not the same when you are sat at a desk working as opposed to up and dancing.

Very good.

Cannot complain

Maybe slightly unfairly for an album I know and enjoy but I don't feel well so...

Quite disappointing actually. Obviously the hits are great but there was a lot more filler than I'd been expecting.

I quite often like Frank Zappa but this passed me by a bit if I'm honest.

Some cracking songs but I think whilst the album was influential and all that, its not as 'good' as I'd like. A high 3 in the end.

Boring.

Fine. More filler than I remembered and the good songs are definitely overplayed.

Another tough one. Sneaks a low 4.

I think a bit like Disraeli Gears the good songs are overplayed and there is a lot of filler in between. Also marked down because it was quite hard to find and listen to.

Quite liked it. Although more on first listen. Got a bit samey on subsequent play-throughs.

Grew on me but...

A bit too fiddly for a day to day listen but undeniable classics.

Good stuff.

This really grew on me. I'll give it a low 4, I think. It was a 3 until late last night.

It was OK but I wouldn't listen again apart from that All the Kings Men song.

Meh. Probably wouldn't bother again.

Perhaps it was just because of the weekend just gone but this was a dirge.

Not a big fan. The odd song was OK.

Lots of good songs but for some reason I wasn't captivated by it.

Not sure there were any redeeming factors particularly.

Unremarkable.

Great.

It was OK. Of its time and I'm not sure its aged well...

Nothing like what I was expecting. It was alright but I don't think I'd listen again.

Very meh. Why is it that people who think they've had some kind of psychedelic break through all end up playing the same music.... Doesn't seem very original.

I know its a classic but I didn't really connect with it.

Pleasant.

This guy again. Probably not as bad as his drugs are so interesting album but not good either.

This was good. Probably just misses out on a 4 though.

Good stuff. I personally prefer his older stuff most of which would be a 4 so it only gets a 3 on this occasion.

A bit of a dip in the middle but sandwiched by classics.

Underwhelmed. Considering it was Iggy Pop I was expecting something more... interesting?

Not for me this.

This was a good one. I definitely heard lots of bands that had been influenced from this...

Enjoyed it more than I thought I would actually.

Grew on me over the weekend.

Again slightly underwhelmed by Bowie. The hits are good though.

Some fantasic songs. Some throwaways. I feel like I've lost the grasp of my own scoring system....

Quite enjoyable as background music. The lecture would then come on every now and again which was a bit jarring.

It was OK for what it was. Not really my thing but I didn't actively hate it.

OK.

Pretty standard country really.

I appreciate the sentiment but a bit samey.

It was alright but considering most of the songs were covers, I feel like it's cheating.

Enjoyed it. Band I'd never heard before -- One More Hour is a great tune.

Not really doing it for me. The 'She Watches Channel Zero' is a banger though.

Ok. Quite samey...

Yes its good. But it is slightly overblown and the quality does drop off...

Probably my favourite Dylan album (of the ones I've bothered to listen to). A high four but will even stretch it to a 5 just because I don't do that very often.

Bit of a come-down from the last two albums.

Excellent. Preferred Blood on the Tracks though.

Obviously the hits are part of popular culture so they stood out. Otherwise quite samey.

Simply passed me by.

Tried to think of something clever to say but...

There was some decent songs but didn't grab me.

I'm sure we've had this before. Anyway I was expecting to like it more than I did...

Another formative album. It still holds up and I think even coming to it new it would be highly rated.

Maybe a bit of its time, not sure how it'll date but I enjoyed it more than I thought I would.

It was OK. Didn't do enough to make me that interested in hearing more but I enjoyed it whilst it was on.

A couple of real earworms in there.

It was OK. Not really into this sort of stuff usually. Was heading for two stars but I spent most of Sunday singing Psycho Killer so I'm going to say its sneaked a three.

Alright.

Not for me really.

Hardest album to rate yet. Immediate reaction was not good. 1 star. But it grew on me after a couple of listens. 2 stars. A couple more listens and I was noticing some over-arching narratives and 3 stars. I had to come back to it later in the day as it was nagging at me. Could it get even more stars? No. On a refreshed listen I was back toward my initial reaction. Best be done with it and give it a 2 but I feel like it may pull me back in.... Highlights: Hold My Liquor and Bound2

Nothing to it really.

Bit dated and cringy with some of the references. Nevertheless it was undeniably funny at times and some good rhymes and beats.

Still not really doing anything for me. Songs like Under My Thumb are OK on the other hand, Lady Jane.... Middling rating.

Enjoyable in parts.

Bit torn on this one. I think I was expecting it to be better than it was so was maybe a bit down on it. It wasn't as good as Peter Tosh's album but it was good. Recency bias, it was better than the last couple so I'll give it a low 4.

Was OK. Was probably expecting a bit more. Scrapes a three.

Not in the mood for this today.

Liked it. Which was a surprise to me

Wasn't expecting to like it but it was good in a sub-TVZ/Dylan type way. A bit too droney for 4 stars but close.

Strange one. Very 80's revival. Liked the electro-sounding stuff like American Dream, Black Screen and some of the rest passed me by.

It was OK. Didn't really stick with me. Too polished and produced, could've done with stripping back a bit.

Not really my thing.

Enjoyable for what it was.

Oh no. Didn't like that... if I'd paid more attention it may have dropped to a 1 star.

Some classics but also more filler than I was expecting. Highlights were Parklife and Magic America.

That was weird. Didn't hate it though.

A rare example of an album actually getting worse the more I listened. Became too repetitive after a while...

Objectively good. Won't listen again.

I expected better. Its no Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac.

Excellent. I think there are some stone-cold classics on this album. An easy 4.

Fantastic of course and probably more consistent than some other albums.

Too much yakking and not enough playing.

Fairly bog standard stuff. Modern Man stood out everytime it came around though.

Well there was one stand out song obviously. Otherwise it was fine without being great.

A bit like the previous album. One famous song. I didn't think there was anything else here of note...

Enjoyed it. Quite samey though I'm not sure I could listen to it over and over without getting tired of the formula. Even two playthroughs was enough for me to 'get it'.

I think I got my hopes up and was expecting more.

It did actually grow on me a little bit and there were one or two good songs but I think I expected better.

Perhaps controversial but I was feeling awful after my booster and just wasn't in the mood.

Much more suitable fory beleaguered soul.

Not really my scene.

Didn't sound any different from the 'standard' Christmas stuff.

I like it when it's not too self-indulgent. A stripped down version would score higher.

Started off quite well as something a bit different. Did drag though.

Moody and atmospheric but unlikely to choose to listen on any given day.

Snuck in as a four.

Very similar to Run DMC. Some good songs and it's nice to have something different but gets very samey.

Enjoyed it a lot more than I imagined. A bit samey toward the end though and I think may not age well - the breathy female singer of today

Recency bias. There was nothing wrong with it but it wasn't as good as the previous day.

Hmmm... sneaks a low four. Mainly so as to not mess up my genre ratings! No really, obviously there are one or two classic songs in there but generally I find GnR quite parodic and tiresome.

There are some good songs but I wasn't that in to it as a whole.

If just for Maggot Brain itself..

Hmm... I like Fela Kuti but I do not like live albums.

Struggled to rate as always with albums like this. I've never heard this album before and yet knew the majority of the songs... on the whole, I enjoyed it. Somewhere between 3-4 stars for me but as we can't do half stars I'll go for 3. Stripped down a bit and it'd be a 4.

One or two tracks that I've become ingrained to but otherwise not my thing particularly.

My heart dropped when I saw it was Eno again after the Music for Airports debacle. But I was pleasantly suprised and my heart soared on the 'Here Come the Warm Jets' title track. Its a solid 3 but I'll give it a 4 for that alone.

Probably a little disappointing. But Heaven is 10 Zillion Years Away was great.

Suprisingly OK. I wasn't looking forward to it when I saw it but actually enjoyed it.

Was looking forward to this but a little bit disappointed. Quite a lot of filler in amongst the good ones.

Actually quite enjoyed it. Very good as background working music. I'm unlikely to ever to remember to listen again though.

It was fine background music. Once again I feel like I need to adjust my ratings otherwise everything gets a 3.
