I enjoyed that, a good album. 4*
Some good funky tunes, but did lose me along journey in parts. The better songs make it 3*
Wouldn't normally throw on a Coldplay album, tend to find them boring after a couple of songs but this was more enjoyable than I expected, forgetting their big singles were on this album. They go a long way for making up for the more tedious songs but even those are well written.
Picturing myself in an American bar with you all I could happily listen to this in the background of our ramble. I wouldn't choose to put it on but also wouldn't complain if somebody else had. Prefer the uptempo tunes with this genre not a fan of the slower Cash style. 2* but by no means bad.
Nope. As awful as I expected, never been a fan of Iggy and this did nothing to sway me. I was wrong I will be giving out a 1* on this list!
Punk is one of those genres that I've never got on with, this album did nothing to change that. The songs are short lived but unfortunately there's a lot of them and they all sound very similar. 1*
Enjoyed this, musicianship is really good they're obviously a talented bunch, it did lose me a little in parts so it's just shy of a 4* for me but a strong 3* for sure
Not as awful as I expected but only enjoyed parts of it. Never a whole song either. It was ok, there's plenty worse out there. Enjoyed some of the riffage. 2*
Had some funky sections especially some of the bass lines which I enjoyed but largely bored me. The tracks do sound to me like they were made with films in mind. The odd track here and there were decent enough for that but not interesting enough as an album to listen to start to finish. 2*
Found this boring, I appreciated some of the music throughout but they didn't really get developed much if at all. For what I'd say is fairly minimalist in its approach I'd need to connect more to the vocals but I didn't get much emotion from the singer albeit a seemingly good singer. 2* just not my thing I guess but not awful.
I enjoyed Smug and Don't let the rain bring you down but I lost interest in between. Tinny lead guitar sound was off putting in places too. I would've enjoyed darkness darkness more if the guitar was lower in the mix and not drowning out the vocals. Also some odd choice of vocal delay on that track. Not awful but as a whole it was just OK rather than good 2*
It was ok, didn't really get anything from this album, wasn't horrible to listen to though just forgettable.
Not a Pulp fan but the music in parts saved this from being a 1*. Don't get on with his voice which doesn't help
Some parts I enjoyed but punk never seems to strike a chord with me though I found this a less agonising punk album to listen to as it seemed to lean towards rock in areas. It was ok 2*
Enjoyed the music to this but couldn't get on with the vocals for a whole album. Was ok though, surprise surprise another 2*.
Enjoyed the beats and bass lines conjured up by this album of soul. There are some misses on here or less enjoyable at least so gets a solid 3* from me.
I was ready to give this 3* as I enjoyed the first handful of songs which I didn't expect but by the end of the album I'd had enough of his voice and the songs weren't different enough to keep my interest despite that. 2*
It was ok, nothing really stood out to me and although there were parts that I enjoyed somewhat it was short lived for the majority of the album. 2*
Strong start Tina, unfortunately as the album went on it fell a bit flat for me in places. The good songs on there do just about enough for me to give it 3*
2*
Musicianship was good, clear talent throughout the album but even still a tough listen for me. Did not keep my interest at all really though I enjoyed parts of some songs.
Erm... Worst album so far by a fair few acres 1*
Classic banger *4
Was decent, didn't love all of it but liked enough of it to enjoy it on the whole. Reminded me of the strokes-era alternate/indie rock vibe from bands around at that time. 3*
Enjoyed this, not listened to these two before though I've heard of Premier. Good 3*
Not offensive but a bit too bland to have a significant opinion either way about it. Collectively summed up as 'meh'. 2*
It's ok, I was never really a big fan of this style at the time and it hasn't convinced me otherwise this time round. 2*
Didn't get much out of this some of the music was fine, he seemed drunk, some of the vocals were a bit mumbled/slurred in parts which was distracting. 2*
3* good album but with a few misses.
Didn't really get anything out of this, can see why they were a thing though. 2*
Never really took to sigur ros, I can appreciate its been written well but it bored me more than entertained me. Could be mood driven though too 2*
Enjoyed this more than I remembered. 4*
It was ok, was something different to listen to but nothing really grabbed me. 2*
It's a shame that this is 2 hours too long. I was mostly enjoying this, enough for 3* I'd say but it has to go down as a 1* overall for the sheer stamina required to get through from start to finish.
Enjoyed this, I preferred the first half of the album but it's a strong album in this genre. 4*
It was ok, it fell flat in too many places for me to consider it any better than that. 2*
Unfortunately the whole album wasn't playable but I enjoyed what I heard for the most part. I'll presume the other songs were of a similar vein and standard so on the whole I think 3*
Enough enjoyable songs outweigh the less interesting. I'd be happy to listen to it again 3*
I was surprised that I actually enjoyed this up until nothing compares 2 u, after that there were songs that didn't fit on the same album and it fell flat. Enough on there to enjoy though 3*
It gets a 2* for the talent. Not my cup of tea for an album to listen to.
This bored me mostly but it was inoffensive.
Was ok, didn't grab me but a few decent tunes here and there.
There were some parts I found enjoyable enough but it was mostly 'meh'.
This teetered on a 2* for me but I think there was just about enough enjoyable on there plus personal jesus and enjoy the silence I really like to make it worth a listen. 3*
Very much enjoyed this
Strong album, would've been a 5* had it been cut down slightly to exclude some of the weaker tracks. 4*
It was ok. Enjoyable musically in parts but I didn't get on with his voice. Obviously a couple of strong songs but they seemed a bit out of place to me with the rest of the album. 2*
Had a great time nodding along to this
3* quite enjoyable for the most part
God but not great, a lot of filler songs
Silky smooth tones but parts felt hollow. Liked enough to give it 3* but it's in no danger of tempting me into a 4*
Never really been a fan of these. It was ok, samey samey though
Enjoyed the start but my interest drifted in and out of this one too much. 2*
Enjoyed from Blue onwards and she's a good singer but by the that time my mood was flat from the songs previous. As an album on the whole it's meh
Really enjoyed this, definitely deserves the acclaim
These were ok but I didn't get a lot from them
Smooth guitarist with the occasional interesting song but largely did nothing for me
Bland is kind. 2*
Something different to listen to but didn't particularly entertain two star Terry. 2*
Wünderbar 5*
Feel the rhythm, feel the ride, Jorge Ben Jor, it's samba time! Good enjoyable 3*
It was ok, I enjoyed some of the songs but largely had nothing significant to offer me
Shame, there was pockets of delight in some of theses funk fests but they fell flat often. Cholly was a particular highlight. 2*
I mostly enjoyed this, I've discovered the closer Bowie gets to his "Fame" vibe the more I enjoy him. Big tune.
Pretty middle of the road for this genre wasn't bad but equally not interesting.
Meh!
Enjoyed this more than I thought I would was decent.
A solid album full of hooks by the Swedish goliaths of pop
Enjoy the single Tusk, the rest of the album was hit and miss for me.
Enjoyed this more than I thought I would
Love me some TLC though they did start to become too samey even for me so it's a 3 for me
Never got into this really, wasn't horrendous to listen to though just didn't interest me.
I just can't get past his voice. The music is well written but his voice bores me. 2*
Appreciate the talent but I'm not one for jazz instrumentals
Some great tracks but too many weaker filler tracks for a 4*
Droney Droney, not my bag 2*
First track was ok but after that I didn't get much out of it.
Was ok but not my jam
I love this stuff in film scores alongside its context but it has to be pretty good to grab me enough to interest me to listen to as an album and this wasn't it.
Enjoyed this, it brought back a lot of 90s nostalgia.
Solid album, definitely oreger the funkier vibes when they appear like southbound again.
Come out to play and self esteem are particular highlights for me as they are more the vibe of offspring I prefer. The rest of the album is filled with the more thrashier side of punk which I'm less bothered about.
Enjoyed most of this, gets a bit too long for me to listen to this style but I still enjoyed plenty of it
Never been a fan of Cash and this didn't sway me otherwise.
Not a fan of these, in particular the vocals, music was ok though
Some good musicianship. Hit and miss with the songs but some strong ones in there to make up for the weaker ones. Pinball Wizard is a worldie. Album makes more sense as a soundtrack.
This was dreadful. Seems like the music industry was quite accessible at this point. 1*
This flirted with awful to ok. 2*
Not a fan of this Bob Dylan. Some of the bluesy tracks were OK not much else did anything for me. 2*
Mostly enjoyed this, even flow is a classic.
It was ok, not really my thing but I can appreciate the thought gone into the arrangements 2*
It was ok, I got bored with it though, again not my thing really.
Ska is meh. Never enjoy it much. Quality of the album seems OK though
It was ok, it didn't really grab me but there was some decent songs on there 2*
Stevie is a smooth operator and a super talent. A good solid album but only a few great songs for me. 3*
I started off thinking this was ok but it didn't really keep my attention. Got a bit bored after a few songs.
A baller of an album, big hit of nostalgia for me as one of the first more edgier albums I listened to. Some misses on here means it doesn't quite make a 5* for me but the hits are so strong its close. 4*
I enjoy the first half of this album more than the second. I imagine a road trip in America back in the 80s would've vibed on this album at some point. Solid album with plenty of cheesy big choruses 3*
I didn't mind this, was nothing to shout about but in the right environment I'd be happy enough to listen to it.
I liked a lot of the music but didn't enjoy the vocals
Decent, didn't love the whole album but liked enough I'd probably listen again. Plus, classic 80s vocals.
Spotify only gave me a few songs from this album to listen to? And what I did listen to, I wasn't a fan of.
Had to source this elsewhere as for some reason Spotify didn't have any songs to play from it. I didn't enjoy the vocals, the songs on the whole didn't interest me either but some of them were okay.
Didn't mind this album at all. Sucker for harmonies and this type of music usually has something going for it for me when done well which I think this is. Good album 3*
Jazz instrumentals don't usually hold me interest but I enjoyed the samba vibe. Would enjoy this in a bar with drinks please.
It was ok, had some interesting parts here and there but largely a bit all over the place for me. 2*
This never really grabbed me, some decent musicianship but very forgettable songs.
This largely bored the nips off of my tits. 'I got you' was ok.
I enjoyed this, some great songs on here, I listened to the 2011 remastered version and it was not consistent enough for how long it was for me but the hits were big and the misses slight. Just kisses out on a 5 for me.
One or two songs interested me somewhat but outside of those I found it boring, this side of Bowie I'm not that fussed about.
Was pleasant enough just didn't much interesting from it. Lo and behold was a good track.
Was something I would've never come across but I don't feel I'd have missed out either. 2*
Would probably fit in a 90s teen coming of age film but outside of that it didn't interest me much.
Solid soul/disco album, plenty of smash hits on this 4*
A bit self indulgent in places, clearly good musicians but the album didn't do much for me.
I like. Isaac Hayes voice as should most people but this album didn't interest me much
Absolute belter of an album
Solid enough rock album, nothing exciting though.
Very average for me.
Lots of groove to... groove to!
Didn't tickle my ear giblets
Felt a bit indifferent to this, good singer, some enjoyable parts of music her and there but only enjoyed 2 songs significantly
Enjoyable bass lines and vibes. Nothing to shout about and had a few misses but enjoyable all the same
Enjoyed this, so much that I listened to it twice through without pain
