This bollocks goes on for 2hrs 13mins!
This album comes with a instructions and I still don't get it.
Music for mums 1.5 stars.

Good background music maybe
Bye bye love feels like it was shoehorned in, plus I think Bridge Over Troubled Water should surely be at the end of the album (doesn't feel like an opening track). However this is an undeniable gem of an album.
Shite sandwich
Some moments of greatness but overall a tough listen
Oh dear.
Some decent grooves but not for me
I've tried and failed many times to like Springsteen. However with an open mind I can see this is a classic. Also fair play to having the balls to release an album of home demos at this time of his career.
I'm not sure why I disliked this album so much in the past. It's a belter.
Elvis is very much overrated
Not my thing but some great riffs. And of course Black Night. Two and a quarter stars
I got progressively tired of this album
I wish I liked the Smashing Pumpkins but they make it so hard for me. Meandering songs, terrible production.
A pleasant surprise. Really enjoyed it
Technically an EP, ain't it
Masterpiece. Even if you strip out the seemingly "throw-away" tracks (which actually are an important part of blending it all together) you would still have enough tracks to make a classic double album. Admittedly, this might be a tough listen to a non Beatles fan.
Not for me thanks
I'm not even sure this album was in the 1001 top albums of 1987.
Good solid kinky reggae
I enjoyed revisiting this album. It's been a few years. 4 star
I listened without prejudice and am surprised to say this is a 4 star.
Never heard of them but quite enjoyed this.
Top class
One of the top albums of the 2010's and up there in my top 20 of all time.
Pretty solid
Not the only 5 star album, but this is top class.
Some decent moments but not my thing.
LCD Soundsystem have some good tunes, none of which are on this album.
Meh
A pleasant surprise
Top debut
Half of this album is brilliant
This album comes with a instructions and I still don't get it.
Full of cringe-inducing, problematic lyrics. But if you ignore that, 4-stars.
Grow up
Another masterpiece from Radiohead. Wonderful album
Utter bollocks
Proggy AF
Album? I thought they only had one song!
Beautiful album. Sounds as fresh as it did back in 1998.
Pretty decent. Almost of the verge of being too funky.
This is a gem.
Some top notice pop, but a lot of filler thrown in.
Started with a 4 star and by the end of it I was ready to rip my ears off.
Sexy AF, so it is
Notorious BIG-Byrd. Pretty solid stuff.
If you like this, wait until you listen to "The Queen is Dead".
Very much overrated band. Didn't enjoy their live shows either. This album will not stand the test of time.
Berlin Bowie rip off
This bollocks goes on for 2hrs 13mins!
I do have a soft spot for Pavement, but this isn't great
Do all Brian Eno produced albums end badly?
Out of mind alright.
Still can't stand Billy's voice, however this is pretty solid stuff.
Some classic tracks but the orchestration gets my goat after a while.
A poor man's Pixies
Very much of its time
Close to a 4 star for me
Expected better from some of the greatest rock musicians ever assembled.
Jethro Dull
A real turd of an album. 1.5 stars.
I don't get it
On my first listen - this is a classic.
Some moments of brilliance, but overall just too proggy for me.
Not sure what all the fuss is about
Poxy Music
Gospel, soul and pop mixed together in an intimate sounding live album. Great stuff
Not his best album but still worthy of a 4 star
Mix of jazz, folk, soul, rhythm and blues to create something unique and beautiful. With delightful poetry. Top marks
Not a fan but this is a classic.
I feel like I'm listening to the same song over and over again. And it's not a good song.
I appreciate that Wings might be a bit naff to some people, but this is top notch.
Justice is served. 1 star
Shafted
Beautiful
4.5
"You can almost feel the energy" 😆
The production makes this hard to listen to in parts.
Sick of hearing these songs but it is a classic
Lovely stuff
Decent album but not a band that I could enjoy listening to.
Barely scrapping a 3
One of his classics
Epic sound but falls short on songwriting ability. 2.5
Not what I was expecting
Not their best but still worthy of a 4.
Garbage are a band that I've never found pleasant on the ear. Just can't warm to them. 2.5
Great. And Rod's voice is outstanding.
Music for mums 1.5 stars.
Instrumental dance hip hop is not my genre, but this is pretty impressive.
Bit prunesy for me
Laughably bad
This has not aged well
This fusion of rock, metal, punk, ska and jazz produces the worst of all worlds. Cringe-worthy
Close to a 4 star
Lacks irony
Meh. Shit Sliding Away
Born to run is a stand out track but it's not enough to save this donkey
Poo Order
Chicken chaat
Fascinating
My GOAT
Beautiful stuff
3.5
A few decent riffs and jam-packed with a load of filler.
One star for keeping it to 30 minutes long.
Will never listen to this again, but it was surprisingly solid.
Cack to Bedlam
Close to a 5
Their best album yet.
5 star on first listen
A very underrated band.
Aptly named
Poo metal
Disappointed. Some of the greatest tracks from the 80's mixed with some filler and poor cover versions.
A very generous 3 stars
...see album title
Up there with the worst of the worst
Masterpiece
It's looking pretty bleak out there.
Kind of Poo
You're taking the piss now
Almost unlistenable.
Would make an amazing EP.
Love this
I remember when Julian Cope cancelled a Belfast gig in 2013 because he was scared of the naughty terrorists. He probably did us all favour to be fair.
