I used to be very harsh about this album and say it was boring middle of the road rubbish but now I’m old I can appreciate that it’s actually really nice and relaxing.

I really don’t like Tom Waits’ music and this album hasn’t changed my opinion.

Not what I was expecting at all. Boring middle of the road ballads - no thanks!

Found it irritating so turned it down and then forgot it was playing

This would have been a 5 maybe ten years ago but the violence and misogyny is a bit too much for me these days.

Boring and didn’t hold my attention but glad it was quite a short album.

Better than expected

Inoffensive background music

Ok but not amazing

Never heard of Fela Kuti before. Very short album but quite good as background music in a bar.

Easy listening.

Too hard for me but I like two of the songs.

Bit too experimental for me

Much better than expected. Reminded me of Bob Dylan. Would listen to it again.

Not as bad as I was expecting.

Good album would listen again

Never heard of this band before. Going to listen to more of them though.

Not as good as Mechanical Animals

Never heard this album before and really enjoyed it.

Another new band for me. Sounded surprisingly current for a 70s album.

Good but not their best album.

Good album. Have listened to this many times.

Not my thing.

Didn’t enjoy it and didn’t even notice when it had finished.

Probably worth a second listen

Didn’t realise Unsatisfied was by them.

Pleasant enough

Had to turn this down to get through it. I find his voice very irritating.

Like the Bob Dylan inspired track

Enjoyed this album

Inoffensive

Not my kind of music

Not as hard as I was expecting

Found it irritating so turned it down and then forgot it was playing

Good album but a few filler tracks

Listened to it twice. It was that good!

Ok

I really don’t like Tom Waits’ music and this album hasn’t changed my opinion.

Will listen again

Great album but not my favourite Bob Dylan album

Ace

Awful

Really enjoyed it and will listen to some of their other albums.

Nice background music

Short influential album

Ok

Several big hitters

Ok for country

Had to turn it off

Didn’t really hold my attention

Surprisingly good

Had to turn it off because it was making me mad

Short album of absolute bangers

Boring drony music

Really liked it

Classic album

One of my faves

Didn’t even have love will tear us apart on it. Massively overrated.

Really nice album

Overrated. Had to turn it off as it was annoying me.

My favourite offspring album.

Not a fan. Too shouty for me. Had to turn it off.

First 5 songs are excellent but goes down hill a bit from there. Still really good though.

Great album

Enjoyed this from a band that was new to me

Nice little album

Ok, not particularly memorable

Liked this and will listen to it again

A couple of good songs but I found the album quite stressful to listen to.

Really surprised by this album. Thought I’d hate it but really enjoyed it. Reminded me of the velvet underground and nico album.

Alright but didn’t blow me away

Really good album. I know it’s over is one of my all time favourite songs.

Nice and funky

Too folky for me but I can see why people like it

A couple of ok songs but the rest of the album is too psychedelic/annoying for me

Sounded like a jungle noises sleep machine. Had to turn it off.

Really surprised my this. Didn’t realise GD were so folky.

Liked it a lot and will listen to more of her stuff in the future.

One of my all time favourite albums. Loved it when I was a teenager and still do now.

Not really my kind of thing but didn’t hate it so 3 stars seems about right

Liked the first track

Nice voice but not really my thing

Ok but not really my type of music

Not what I was expecting at all. Boring middle of the road ballads - no thanks!

Didn’t really get it

Alright but not amazing

Excellent and incidentally my husband’s favourite album of all time.

Love listening to this album. God Only knows brings back a lot of nostalgic memories for me.

Listened to it twice and it annoyed me both times.

Never heard of this band before. Quite liked the first few songs but then got a bit bored of it before the end.

Ok as background music

Overrated. Found it irritating and got bored before the end of the album

One of my favourite albums. Excellent from start to finish.

Have tried to get into pixies over the years but have never found them to be as good as everyone seems to say they are!

Good but a bit wharbly in places

Really enjoyed this album. Great voice.

Really good album.

Not my kind of music. Had to turn it off as found it got too irritating.

This album was OK but slightly irritating

Timeless

Enjoyed this. Not heard of this band before and was pleasantly surprised.

4 maybe purely on the strength of every breath you take. Strange to have an album where all the main singles are on the second half.

One of my absolute favourite albums. Regularly listen to this and it never gets old. Every track is excellent.

Ace! Made me want to jump up and dance.

This would have been a 5 maybe ten years ago but the violence and misogyny is a bit too much for me these days.

I usually say I don’t like led zeppelin but I actually enjoyed this album.

Great album

I found the first song irritating and thought I might have to abandon the album. Really improved after the first song and I enjoyed it.

Enjoyed this very short album

Always want to like Nico coz she’s cool but I find the music quite grating

Such a good album

Probably the best salsa music I’ve ever heard but I’m not really a fan of salsa

Alright as background music

Jazzy and smooth

Liked it. Reminded me of Emina and gravediggers

Good background music. Really nice voice and not too “country”.

Excellent album full of bangers

Great album but I do find his voice can jar a little bit at times

Alright background music played quietly

This was going to be 5 based on the first four tracks but then I felt it went downhill a bit and became a bit whiny/samey.

Liked the first through tracks but then got samey

Nice album but a bit whiny

Such a good album. Brings a smile to my face.

Only half listened to this. I really like a couple of songs by this band but this album as a whole didn’t really do it for me.

Awesome

Don’t know how anyone could give this less than 5 stars really.

Quite good

Good and short

Too shouty for me

I was expecting this to be dodgy dance music (not sure why) so I was happily surprised and enjoyed it.

Too jazzy

Obviously everyone loves this. I thought it was fine but not something I would want to listen to again.

Classic album and really nice to listen to.

Really liked this and will definitely listen again.

My second favourite album by my favourite band. I have loved Hole since I was a teenager and now in my late 30s I still listen to them several times a week. This album reminds me of being a teenager in the 90s and trying to pretend I didn’t like this album because Courtney Love had “sold out” and made a pop album but secretly I loved it. Listening to this album now still makes me dream about moving to California.

Nice album.

Great album but not as good as The Bends

Really liked this and can see it will have influenced a lot of more recent bands. Reminded me of the libertines a bit.

Ok but not as amazing as everyone says IMO. I find his voice quite irritating.

Pleasant enough but a bit dull

Amazing album. One of my faves.

Funky

A couple of bangers and obviously it’s a good album but maybe not one I would choose to listen to all the way through.

Thought I didn’t like DJ Shadow but think I just haven’t listened properly before.

Great album and much more varied than I remember

Great album

Really liked this.

Forgot how good this is

I find his voice quite difficult but I did like a couple of the tracks

Christmassy!

Nice

Excellent album

Not on Spotify so a bit annoying to listen to so just clicked through the tracks quickly. Probably deserves another more thorough listen at some point.

Alright for elvis

Really nice easy listening album

Bangers

Really liked this. Thought it would be too hard but it was just the right level!

An old favourite that I used to enjoy dancing to with my sister when I was a child.

Had to turn it off after a couple of songs as I found it very irritating.

Liked it but didn’t love it

Good but not my favourite chillis album. My view of this band also changed after reading Anthony Keides’ autobiography.

I used to be very harsh about this album and say it was boring middle of the road rubbish but now I’m old I can appreciate that it’s actually really nice and relaxing.

Alright but not really as good as I was expecting

Only listened to one track and that was enough.

Not a fan of tina’s voice

Groovy! Liked it a lot.

Never heard of Jane Weaver before but really liked this as background bar music.

Awful. Had to turn it off. I don’t get why this band is so loved.

Bit annoying

Not as good as other Fiona Apple albums

Quite liked it, not irritating and quite nice in the background.

Really like this album, so summery and uplifting

Really nice upbeat album

Not at all what I was expecting but really enjoyed it and will Listen to more by this band.

I know this is meant to be a “classic” but I found it a bit dull tbh.

Didn’t get past track 3. Just awful.

Bit sweary for me

Enjoyed this a lot.

Overrated

Bangers!

Not a fan
