Basic musicianship. Nonsensical lyrics. Derivative. Guitars are mud. Absolute masterpiece

This album congo fuck itself

Not much to Bragg about

There’s probably a 4 or 5 star album buried in here but I’ll be damned if I’m gonna spend another 2 hours trying to find it. A more selective approach might’ve resulted in a shorter, better album. All things must pass quality control

X-tremely dull

🤘🏻

First track great. The odd one is pretty good.

Takes a while to warm up. Second half is top notch

Classic. Search the hard drive of anyone who says otherwise

Gets one star for the effort of actually going to the studio and recording this pish

Great fun. God of Thunder and Great Expectations are just too much though and take away from the rest which stay just the right side of ridiculous.

Some good fun tracks, can see myself dipping back into it, but doubt I'd ever listen to the whole album again

Just too bleak for me. Sounds underproduced. We get it, there are unemployed people in America, play Born to Run and shut up about it ffs

The first half of this album is as good as pop music gets. Sensational. The second part loses momentum , but still has This Is A Low and To The End to pull it round. Easy 5 stars.

Liked everything on here. 2 or 3 absolute crackers

Liked the first track and a couple at the end. A lot of nonsense on there in between though

Sub standard faux-Britpop waffle for the most part

Has its ups and downs. The vocal on Fever is amazing. Dirty Dirty Feeling & Such A Night are undiscovered gems.

Preposterous drivel. You could almost hear the midget dancing round the 18 inch Stonehenge

I will not be subscribing

Make it stop

Enjoyed it. No bad songs on there but also no amazing ones, rattled along nicely.

An incredible listen. Really bowled over by it from start to finish. Fully felt the weight of a man facing the end. Superb.

An easy 3 in the end. Gris-Gris Gumbo Ya Ya, Walk On Gilded Splinters and Jump Sturdy are all great. Not bad for an album with only 7 songs on it. Groovy in the purest possible sense. ✌🏼

First track is great. The rest is ok. Tough for Western ears to get. One star for the musicianship + one star for my white guilt.

Takes a few listens before the ‘filler’ tracks start to make a bit more sense. There’s a lot of good stuff on here

Nice inoffensive, stuff with a couple of classics with a small ‘c’

نغمة واحدة أو اثنتين جيدة

If god is real why did he make me listen to this? Come back, Electric Prunes, all is forgiven

😩

Kravshitz

Excellent

Bonkers

A good bunch. Aged like a fine wine 🍇

Takes a few listens for a few of the lesser tracks, but a really good album

Some juicy tracks that get under your skin 🍊

Jantastic. Jop of the Pops

Lemmy be honest with you. This isn’t great.

Not bad, u have to say

Didn’t mind it and was all set for giving it 3 stars until the last track, which is absolutely vile and puts a different light on the rest of the album

Keep this treasure buried

Byrd is the wyrd

William, it was really something

Fang average

A decent orchestral album absolutely ruined by letting Metallica play on it. Metallica ruin everything, the big wankers.

Worst one yet

Kerb Your Enthusiasm

On paper, this sort of thing is right up my street, but it just didn’t grab me at all

Three-wheeling Bob Dylan

Couldn’t bring myself to dee-rrrrop them down to a 4

Franz Ferdi-grand 👍🏾

Possibly the most overrated album of all time, but still very good

Ship shape

The Shite Stripes

Snore on drugs 😴

Just what the doctor ordered 👍🏾

The dogs bollocks 👍🏾

A load of crop

Chite

Yet another incredible Chelsea performance

Pish

Not as Fol of great tunes as the other one, but som good ones on here

Bloody good

Some epic songs, but a lot of them are way too long and it really begins to drag

Three Starbage

Ace ♠️

Grand 💵

One of the all time greats

Proper Beau, I tell thee

A winner, man, from Zimmerman 👍🏾

Really enjoyed large parts of this but it just goes on forever

Possibly the worst band of all time

3pac

Mainly a 3⭐️ album, lifted up to a generous 4⭐️ by The Passenger & the title track 👍🏾

The One I Quite Like

Made me want to throw the rope up. Does exactly what it says on the tin 👍🏾

Smash and drab

Flaming good

🔥

😎 🎺

Cum off it

Jazz. Nice.

Brewslog

Grayt

Nice songs, nice singing & nice production. ‘Rainbow’ is a 5⭐️ banger

Seba don’t make me listen to this shite again

Ruben me up the right way 🕺🏻

Shake It Off & Blank Space are 2 of the all time great pop songs. The rest is pretty decent.

I don’t want it baby

Poo dancers

Gunky trunks

Duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duuuuuuuuuh duuuuuuuuh. They look like Clem Fandango and the other fella on the cover

Take 3⭐️

Takes the idea of wearing your influences on your sleeve to a ridiculous level, but a great album

A couple of absolute bangers. The rest is passable enough. But enough about Madonna lol 👍🏾

3⭐️ out of 5 ain’t bad

Farts & moans

A handful of great tunes and some decent filer. A solid 3

Fairly meh pre-britpop, without any real standout track to make it worthwhile

Throwing some fire 🔥

Shite

Right on the money

Dusty bin putting out some great albums

Some great stuff on here

Mostly decent. Becomes a bit boring after a while. A generous 3

This television set gets a great reception from me 👍🏾

Absolute charmer of an album. The singles, in particular, are excellent 👍🏾

Good stuff all round

Stone cold classic. Bowie at his weird best 👍🏾

A generous 3⭐️ Smoke on the Water is shite 👍🏾

Decent, if the rest of the album was half as good as Born to Run, it would be deserving of its status as a classic 👍🏾

Might have bumped it up to a 3⭐️ if it hadn’t been recorded through a duffle coat

Overrated 👍🏾

3⭐️ Was looking good for 4 but fell apart at the end. Must be a Liverpool thing. Have also struggled to do much of note since 1990 lol 👍🏾

Neu that’s what I call music 👍🏾

Cosmic 🌎 👍🏾

Fantastic album. Every track still holds up

2 Order

Title track is a 5⭐️ classic but it loses marks at an alarming rate from there on in.

Some really good stuff on here and some absolute bollocks. Standard Byrds album by this stage 👍🏾

Not much wrong with it but didn’t grab me

Dos estrellas ⭐️ ⭐️ 👍🏾

2 ⭐️, which is a 5⭐️ in country terms because country music is shite 👍🏾

Doesn’t hold water 👍🏾

Rotten

Sea plus

There’s probably a 4 or 5 star album buried in here but I’ll be damned if I’m gonna spend another 2 hours trying to find it. A more selective approach might’ve resulted in a shorter, better album. All things must pass quality control

A extremely generous 2⭐️ purely on the strength of Gigantic and Where Is My Mind. A load of auld toot.

The Craps lol

Shithole

Some great stuff on here. Obviously very dated though

Really close to a 4, but just not enough variety.

¡Ay curamba!

Finger lickin good

Could possibly have done with trimming a few tracks from this but generally a very pleasant listen. Reminds me of good times

He may enjoy fingering little boys bumholes, but if you can separate the art from the the artist, this is an all time classic

I think I would have scored this higher had it been in English. Ties are quality but didn’t have an ‘in’ through the lyrics

Might be more boring than the actual Bible. Well done

Hits the target 🎯

Not much to elevate this above average

A modern classic

Never heard this album before. Pretty great all round

Rubbish

Some great tracks on here, but it gets tired very quickly. Drags even at 30 minutes long

Much like the Ramones, a couple of great tunes but I wanted more

An all time great. Love this album. Feel like I’m in Mad Men when I listen to it

Probably the best of the CCR albums. A bit of quality control might’ve made one classic album rather than 3 good ones

Lovely album 🦊

I’m Louvin it

No surprises ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Bit karaoke but pretty decent

Wickarus

3 great singles and some reasonable filler

I’d rather be pulling my wire lol

Probably a 4⭐️ but it’s getting the full 5 because Def Leppard are awesome

Masterpiece

Love this album. A Sunday morning favourite and a career best for Weller

Great live album. Star off for being a wrong ‘un

2 standout singles and a lot of filler

Q: Is this not shite? A: Yes

Decent country music, elevated to a 3 star by a couple of great songs at the start. And people say she’s just a big set of tits.

The Smiths weakest album. Needs more protein. 🥩

Really disappointing apart from two excellent singles

Dog dirt

Some bangers but a bit too long

Cack Flag

Lifted up to a 2 by the amazing Waterloo Sunset, which gives you an idea how shit the rest of it is

Far out

For a 2 hour jungle album, this flew in. Not much to dislike on here

Generous 3

Surprisingly enjoyable

Enjoyed that

This is not my beautiful Talking Heads

Shit

Not bad

Very decent

Some real highs on here. Imagine it would be brilliant live

So close to a 5⭐️ if it wasn’t for the mental last 10 minutes

Excellent Britpop record. Up there with the very best that The Bluetones and Kula Shaker had to offer.

Lovely album

Generous 3. Lifted up by Jane Says, which is a classic

This album should be called Spring Onions

Another disappointing Arsenal performance

Generous 3. Pretty disappointing

One of her best

Pretty decent country music tbf

Classic debut. Never bettered it.

Surprisingly enjoyable. Much better than expected

Few classic singles and a lot of auld 80s easy listening pish. Can’t believe it sold as many as it did

I’d rather be burnt at the stake than listen to this again. The Fall were shite.

Some brilliant songs padded out with blues jams . Close to a 4 but a bit too much filler

Still a good listen. Has dated pretty rapidly. Fairly poptastic

Had a great time with this 😂

II stars

This is absolutely wick

Some genius tunes and some absolute shite. Blurs career summed up in an album

A 5⭐️ album with another 5⭐️ album on the b-sides. The 🐐 Regardless of what Neil McGaughey says, the big wally

Slightly better than anticipated tbf

Undoubtedly a great songwriter, but Bruce leaves me cold

Good Lorde

Was all for giving this 3 stars before I re-listened. There's not really a bad track on it and one or two stunners

Cheesy Willy

Racist paedos. 3⭐️ Would listen again

Just my cup of tea ☕️ 🫖

They go too folky on this one

Rare PooPoo

Beautiful, dark, twisted, fantastic 👍🏾

A nailed on 2⭐️ from the first note

Peace Frog lifts this up to a generous 3

Top Gear 🚗

Hopefully walking across rooftops with a view to chucking themselves off. Shite.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for Hounds of Love, ⭐️⭐️⭐️ for The Ninth Wave

666 minus 663 stars

I dig the hole thing

Nice easy listening album, propped up by Fire & Rain, which is exceptional and reminds me of the Simpsons episode where Homer goes into space, which is a classic.

Lame. Pound for pound, the absolute worst band in this book

Tempted to drop a star off for the lack of original material, but it’s just too good

Too jazzy

Another classic album that’s largely split between 5⭐️ and 3⭐️ songs

Generous 3. Could see myself enjoying it late at night but didn’t grab me

Moi non plus

Would be a 5⭐️ if only I could get on with I Want You (she’s so heavy), which takes up too much space

Excellent

Tremor-endous

The Velvet Underground are at their best when they’re doing weird, subversive shite. This is very orthodox and a bit anemic. By the time anything interesting starts happening in the last 10 minutes I’d already lost interest

Vocals and arrangements are great. Just a little to one-tempo to grab me.

Some great tunes. Brought back a lot of memories

A-spictacular album

Couple of decent tunes on here

Belongs in a skip

One of my favourite albums of the 90s the 4 singles are superb. Definitely the high point of their career. One to Another is one ofthe greatest indie disco tunes of all time. 4.5 stars bumped up to a 5.

Makes me feel like I’m about 100 years old. Don’t get it

Some real high points on here. Could’ve done with maybe losing 15 minutes or so but a good album all round

One of the great British punk bands to come out of Londonderry 🇬🇧 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

Howzat! 🏏

Notable for being the exact moment Ye lost his mind and very little else. Load of bollocks.

Objectively a 3.5. But it’s a lot of fun and brings back a lot of mid 90s memories

One of the best Grindcore albums I’ve ever heard

Pushing a 4 but not quite

Maybe I’m amazed at how some of these songs are so good and some as so pished

Music for divorced middle aged men in poorly fitting jeans and tshirts bought from HMV 👍🏾

Some good tunes on here

Ambitious and interesting

Awful

Silver Snooze

Unbelievable that this lot have been successful for 60 odd years. 95% of their output is total dogshit 👍🏾

Absolute genius from start to finish

Better stuff surfs out of my butthole

I didn’t Courtney Love it, but I did Courtney Like it 👍🏾

Always wanted to give one to Mariah Carey, and here it is 🌟 👍🏾

Poo, more like lol

Shitin Sawney

Rare instance of a Ginger with a soul

Title track is a stone cold banger. Some other decent singles but largely a load of shite

Extremely generous 3

Great songwriter but this cunt needs singing lessons 👍🏾

The title says it all tbf. Some dogshit this 👍🏾

Poxy Music

Sound exactly like what you think a Simply Red album would sound like. It absolutely sucks 👍🏾

Calexcellent

Right up my street

Must have produced this in the woods 💩 👍🏾

crappy bad

Let’s get thrilled

Fittingly, a load of wank 👍🏾

Outstanding production, great playing and a great listen. Just lacks an out and out 5 star song to get top marks

Not my thing at all, but good vocals and well produced. Bonus star for the photo of a young Frank Lampard on the cover 👍🏾

I know it’s one for the purists, but there’s a couple of other Aerosmith albums that could’ve been in the book ahead of this IMO. Lacks a standout single

Really enjoyed this 🩸 🥵 😭

Jack White has based his entire career on this album 👍🏾

Five stizzles 👍🏾

Gave up halfway through. A terrible load of pish 👍🏾

The first three tracks on this are as good as the first three tracks on any album in this book, but it absolutely careers off a cliff after that. Dreadful early 2000s production and lyrics that make you cringe so much your chin touches your forehead. An extremely generous 3, based purely on the first 3 songs 👍🏾

Surprisingly pretty good in places

Extra star for keeping this shite down to 21 minutes 👍🏾

Brilliant

The Joshua Three

Good voice, good guitar 👍🏾

Good stuff. One star removed for being a nonce

Coming to the conclusion that Bruce is greatly overrated

There’s some real charming stuff on here. Tracey Thorn’s voice is great. The 80s production takes away from it a bit

Really hated this

I am getting sleepy. Very sleepy

Ray of shite 👍🏾

Pretty sweet

Fantastique

Thought this was great. Liked everything on here

Talk shite

No more than a three-ling 👍🏾

Music to tap all eleven of your toes to 👍🏾

One of the all time greats

Vow of silence please

Common People is one of the best British pop songs of all time and the other singles aren’t too far behind it. Some cracking album tracks too. Possibly the best Britpop album

Nat bad

Love the title track. The rest is largely a load of old shite

Forgot to write any tunes lol

Standard MBV noise

A total load of bollocks that wasn’t good enough to become Blur b-sides 👍🏾

Poor all round. Even the cover is shit

Apart from Shining Star, which is just that, the rest of it is pretty lame

Probably a 2 star album but losing a point for being so long. Nothing really of note here and this goes on for 90 MINUTES??? Definitely not worth your while. Spinal Tap is only 82 minutes. Watch Spinal Tap instead 👍🏾

Really excellent hip hop album totally derailed by a song about god and a song about wanting to bum Stevie Wonder 👍🏾

Nothing offensively bad on here but forgot about the entire album the second I finished it
