You can't beat a bit of Brummie Reggae. A throw back to early 1980s black inequality, three million unemployed and on the dole in Thatcher's inner city Britain. A classic album, and a great document of that era. Used millions of times, usually accompanied with grainy news footage of inner city squaller, queues at the job centre, inner city riots, burnt out cars and striking industrial union members.

This is one of my favourite albums of all-time. It's worthy of a full user review, as it's a true classic. For those who have lived under a rock, or are born this millennium, Kate Bush is considered a true genius and this is viewed my many, as her seminal album. Side 1 has a collection of "hits", including; Running up that Road, Hounds of Love, The Big Sky and Cloudbusting. The subject matter is varied, including a mother's love for her son, who has committed murder, and exploration of dreams, with inspiration take from the Peter Reich memoir A Book of Dreams. It is Side Two that in my opinion the album flourishes. A suite of seven songs based on the same theme, under the heading, "The ninth wave". The story is of a woman/mother who has fallen through the ice on a frozen lake and is trapped, thinking of those left behind, as she fights to stay afloat and alive. Highlights for me are, "And dream of sheep" and "Hello Earth". There's even a Celtic Jig in there (Jig of Life). What an album! 46 minutes of perfection. Impossible to fault.

Annoying

20 years have passed, since this was released, and I must say, it still does little me. I spend my time trying to zone out his voice. And the drumbeat. Somehow I got to the end Not for me. Never again

Never heard of this before. Intrigued after reading the Wikipedia entry. Ok only

Honestly. It didn't rock my boat. I don't think I'd play it at a BBQ, which is the litmus test.

Before my time, so I missed this era of three chords and 2 minute songs. I'm told it's all about the being there, and the attitude. To me it sounds, like young lads with limited musical skills, having fun, And no more. They seem to have the uncanny ability to write 90 second songs, that outstay their welcome. Pink Floyd it ain't.

I love this album and the following one Daybreaker. I didn't keep up with her output and for no good reason. I must try harder. Favourite Track : Couldn't cause me harm.

A bit raw for my ears, although I do love the post-punk movement, and this is very much the beginning of this.

Hogwash

Loved It. Brilliant stuff. A proper 1970s album. One for the car driving home from god knows where, on a Friday afternoon. 4/5.

A classic. Full of great tracks.

Great Album. I think they have nailed what they have been experimenting with. Best track - Weird Fishes

Pleasant enough,

20 years have passed, since this was released, and I must say, it still does little me. I spend my time trying to zone out his voice. And the drumbeat. Somehow I got to the end Not for me. Never again

Much more like it. Fantastic stuff from Santana. Love it.

Good, but not great. Certainly as a first album, its a statement, but I'm prefer their later sound, specifically on LA Woman

Never heard of it before. A bit of a struggle. Like a poor man’s Massive Attack. I got to the end but unlikely to return

Does nothing for me. Possibly a failed experiment, in an attempt to avoid a Rumours2. Probably pleasant enough if you get to know the tracks better.

Pleasant and annoying in equal measures

Never heard of this before. Intrigued after reading the Wikipedia entry. Ok only

I prefer their later stuff, but did see the 20th anniversary show of this album at Brixton Academy. It was awesome

Love it.

Dreary

It sounded like I expected it to sound. Generally hated it, but saved by "I wanna be your dog. 2 stars

Never a fan of blur, although this one want too painful

Exactly like I expected it to sound. Not really to my taste, but got through to the end

Never even heard of it before. Left me cold. In fact I hated it. 1 Star

Loved it

not bad

Now we're talking. A proper album l. Spoiled only by Freedom 90

My personal favourite Beatles Album, (after The Best of the Beatles - Alan Partridge Quote). I can't describe it as under-rated but I always thought that it lives in the shadow of Sgt Pepper. Released three weeks before I was born. 5 stars.

I enjoyed it much more than I remember. Maybe my taste in music and appreciation of Back has changed over the years

Not too bothered

Excellent stuff. Weirdly reminiscent to early 1970s pink Floyd

OK

Liked the first track. The rest became increasingly annoying

Hate it. 0 stars.

After seeing numerous Prince Tribute acts with Grant Cabaret Connor. I must concede that it's not as terrible as I remember. 2 stars

Horrific

Indifferent

Now we're talking. One of the greatest live albums of all time. Just listen to to that drumming of Ian Paice. Blackmore on Guitar and Gillan's singing on child in time. EPIC! Five Stars. Jon Lord on organ and Glover on Bass. A classic album, if ever I heard one. Worth it for Highway Star only.

bag o shite!

Not too bothered

Always reliably great

Personally, I prefer LZ4, as I find the sound more varied. That said, who am I to fault Led Zeppelin

Yep. Sounded exactly like I expected it would. Great stuff, but not generally to my taste.

Five stars

Shite!

Jeremy Clarkson's favourite album

Legendary

Brilliant

The definitive Nivana album

A struggle

Not a fan,

Never a fan

Quite Enjoyed it. Bit too preachy for my taste, but enjoyed it just the same,

Hogwash !

Brilliant album by great band. Played it to death in my college days. Best track - Find a river

As expected. OK, but dated

Phil Crowe's favourite album

Now we're talking. Actually, with the exception of the two hits, I found it a bit dull

As expected. Mercifully short

Dull

Great stuff

A five star classic album

Shite

That voice does nothing for me.

Great band, great sound

A struggle. Like a poor man’s Flaming Lips

Shite!

Now we’re talking. Great stuff

OK. I don't hate it and I don't love it. It's just OK

Shite

I don't mind a bit of Sonic Youth, but they do put my nerves on edge.

Listened to the album, start to finish. Dreadful

Not to my taste

Gold

Odd collection of tv adds and jingles.

Pretty shit

Annoying

Hogwash

Great stuff 4 stars

A success!

A stone walled classic in every way. a hundred stars out of five.

Quite liked it

Great

Now we’re talking

Garbage indeed

fine

Love it.

Good album if played a little too much

Jazz Fusion pop

Great stuff

Not to my taste

shite!

Great stuff

Classic 90s pub Rock, from my youth

Shite!

A favourite of Grant Cabaret Connor. At the time I hated Prince's music and couldn't understand the hype around him. To be fair I'm a long way from being a fan, but at least I can say I've seen him in the flesh, walking around Las Vegas on his stag do. First two tracks are ok. The rest is unlistenable rubbish

Lasted three songs

Too many cover versions to my taste. Sounds Like a good pub covers band

Does nothing for me

Obviously a 5 star album

Loving it

Outstanding stuff

That’s more like it

Her best and includes Frozen, a VFX job from yesteryear

Phil Crowe’s Christmas staple. Played to death

Absolutely brilliant

A classic

Five stars

A struggle beyond the first track

Listening now. I always thought (and still do) that the production is poor

Excellent stuff

Loved it

It’s Elvis
