Great album, always loved Jamiroquai

5/5, this album was fantastic, I was torn between 4/5 for a while but the last couple tracks swayed me. The album does it all and does it well, most tracks felt unique and well produced, the antepenultimate taking you high, followed by the horses taking you low was cool, but coupled with the ‘light at the end of the tunnel’ resolution to end the album, truly impressed me. This is a prime example of the necessity of this website

Amazing album, I wasnt sure if I would like it from the first 5min of the opening track, but it sounded stellar. My parents listened to Goldie a lot growing up so i knew what to expect, it still impressed me. its a kind of genre I termed myself called trackmania music. Felt like I was floating with the stars

Definitely seemed born to be a live album. I felt fully immersed. Loved every song but Massacre imparticular. Lovely break in the middle before it picks back up for the 2nd half. The transition into The Boys Are Back In Town was * French Kiss * A flawless experience.

At the time of release, I'm sure this was an incredible album, but imo its aged quite poorly. Even ignoring my personal opinion of not really enjoying psychedelic rock, every "guitar solo" I heard just sounded like noodling in the studio

Enjoyed it a lot, Lenny has a great voice when he wants it to be. Real rating 3.5/5 but rounding up since it was an impressive debut

The musical embodiment of anti-piracy. Pure nostalgia of the little I can remember of the very early 2000s, I was very put off by the first couple tracks but it slowly turned into an enjoyable album I could see myself adding a couple songs to an outside summer garden playlist

I listened to the album but cant remember listening to it. Every song sounded the same (which wasnt a bad thing) I dont think its a bad album by any means, but definitely not one that ill remember by next week

I wasnt sure what was happening but I kinda liked it?

I listened to the Legacy edition & the US bonus tracks, enjoyed it, maybe the acoustics moreso. Very reminiscent of a casual outdoor playlist, just having part of the album on in the background outside. Reminded me of Dire Straits meets David Gilmour

I already knew about half of the songs on this album. Ive seen Richard Ashcroft live, Ive listened to his solo stuff, all great pieces of music. Probably a little off topic but he truly was an iconic musician and I think Urban Hymns showcases it very very well

I felt like I was having an existential crisis

Came into it expecting to hate it. Enjoyed it a bit more than I was expecting, the popular tracks reminded me of old Tony Hawk games. New York was a great song and I really enjoyed the ending solo 3.5/5

A decent album, nothing too memorable as standout good/bad. A lot of appeal as a good album just a little out of my range of music. 3.5/5

Not my cup of tea, but I wont discredit it from the genre. I didnt dislike it so a solid middle ground seems fair.

Always heard good things about Pulp, didn’t let me down. The couple singles I heard before were the standout tracks. My kind of genre too, enjoyed it.

Decent album to play in the background, don’t really have much more to say. 3.5/5

Power Chords? ✅. Awesome Guitar solos? ✅. Brian Johnson vocals? ✅ . If all 3 are correct, you have an AC/DC album, please rate high and move along.

A little bit dated now, still enjoyed it.

Huge Eminem fan, I used to listen and know most of the lyrics to Relapse, Recovery & MMLP2. I cant believe I deprived myself of the earlier work, Ive always been hesitant to listen to the earlier stuff because I thought it would be closer to D12 and gang nonsense. The album is closer to perfect than most albums I know. If I had might be one of my favourite Eminem tracks, it was such a far cry from the usual tracks. Rock Bottom was another standout ( excluding the ones I knew, (My Name Is, guilty Conscience) . IJDGAF also very good,. The best album Ive heard on here so far.

Quite pleasant to have on in the background

Another album I went into expecting not to like, but it flipped my expectations. I’d gladly listen to 90% of the songs again and the production value seemed very high.

Very very surprised at this album, I really enjoyed it, kinda my genre though

Another album I thought was pretty good, I listened t it on the side, nothing stood out for any reason

The songs got less interesting as the album went on. Fist we take Manhattan was an awesome opener but I soon lost interest

I had the album on shuffle and didnt realise until 40 mins in. I enjoyed the album, a lot of these albums, I listen to on the side and see if anything stands out, nothing did, but I still enjoyed it. real rating 3.5/5

I really enjoyed this album, I should start using the notes because I can never remember what to say

Reminded me of the kind of songs my nan used to sing when I was a baby, I really enjoy this genre

How are these albums to listen to before I die, constant mediocre albums,starting to lose interest

Average album

I only listened to the first few tracks and gave up

I was torn on what to rate this for a while, its definitely not my genre, but Istill appreciated it a lot.

Nothing stood out to me, only listened to disc 1

Every song sounded similar, which wasnt necessarily a bad thing, luckily I enjoyed it.

The opening and closing track completely killed this album for me. I got into it during the middle and was enjoying it, only reason its not getting a 1

Ok, this is album is good, like really good. The only thing stopping me from giving it a 5 was the last song. If it wasnt there I would have no problems listening to the album on repeat. High 4.5/5 real rating

A bit out of my usual listening material. Some quirky songs but I wouldnt call them bad. Didnt dislike anything but didn't feel much else for it either.

Great album, always loved Jamiroquai

Very, VERY long album, but I didnt mind it. Kinda reminded me of some early soft rock Real rating 3.5/5

Side 2 was a bit better than side 1. nothing stood out to me. Felt a bit too religous for me personally.

Definitely seemed born to be a live album. I felt fully immersed. Loved every song but Massacre imparticular. Lovely break in the middle before it picks back up for the 2nd half. The transition into The Boys Are Back In Town was * French Kiss * A flawless experience.

It was alright. Brass In Pocket is a classic. Didnt dislike it so won't rate it down Real rating 2.5/5

I actually enjoyed this album a bit more than most of the others I've rated 3. Standout songs were Livin' In A World & Alright real rating 3.5/5

It was a decent album until the penultimate song, which I had to skip... completely ruined the album for me

Nothing really stands out apart from Walk This Way. Enjoyed No More No More, but that was about it, rest seemed average

Feels very reminiscent of its era, which isnt a bad thing to me. Every song felt like it could have been on a THPS game

Theres an old saying in my house, if you dont know who sings a song, its probably Neil Diamond. I finished writing that and realised this is a different person. The music was good, Id give it a 3 but i resonated with it a little bit more than other ones ive deemed 3/5 so real rating 3.5/5

I got into this album more and more the further through it I got. Felt very nostalgic of when I used to go with my grandparents to little pub/clubs ( the lax working club kind)

Loved it. Didn't know Kanye would be on the album so heavily so it was a welcome surprise.

Great album, enjoyed every song

Solid background album, but not much else.

Weather With You is such a classic. Aprt from that, the rest of the album was good but nothing notable for me. Real rating 3.5/5

Nice listen, not much to say except I enjoyed it

Sadly did not enjoy this album at all. It felt out of rhythym at times.

The lyrics were so nonsensica. absolutely killed the album for me. I did like the melodies though

There’s something about Bon Dylan’s voice that unfortunately I just don’t like, and the harmonica/recorder just sounds like high pitched ringing

The album started off really strong, but quickly fell off. Track 6 and beyond I didnt enjoy very much.

Theres just no way to describe this album. A pure amalgamation of genres. It feels very sporadic, there were some songs I loved (World's Famous, Double Dutch), and others I was just bewildered by. All in all i'd definitely recommend this for someone to listen to, purely just so they can experience the same thing I did, which was mainly confusion and bewilderment. Real rating 3.5/5

I was going into this expecting to absolutely hate it, and while I did, I actually found some songs that were pretty good. Very surprised with my final rating.

Liked Halleluwah, HATED aumgn

Solid Album, no standout tracks but all around gym fuel, will definitely be listening to it for some workout sessions

Very solid album, heard it before. Like the publisher of the Daily Bugle once said in that film about drums, "not quite my tempo." Amsterdam is up there with The Scientist and Fix You for their best work.

Amazing album from start to finish. I had high expectations and it surpassed them. The new songs that stood out to me were; I Wish, Contusion, Pastime Paradise. I cant believe Pastime Paradise is the backing for Gangsters Paradise Up there with Slim Shady LP for best albums thus far. I cant get over the sheer size of high quality content.

Too Jazzy?. Not my genre but still kind a f'ed with it it. Felt very 70s. Real Rating 3.5/5

Just bored me.

Reminds me heavily of Stone Enjoyed it a lot. Added it to my playlist.

Listened to it twice without realising. I didnt think I would enjoy it as background music as much as I did. 4/5

Every song took me back to listening to Gold FM. I get very nostalgic with these types of records. There’s a great slew of tracks in the middle of the album. One of my more favourable genres.

Great beats with some hard hitting views. Felt like another NWA album which most definitely isnt a bad thing This has been one of the harder ones to rate, but I vibed well with it and did enjoy listening to every track.

Incredible album. Michael Stipe has such an iconic voice. Only flaw that I had was that Nightswimming should have been the final track, because that and drive are perfect closing/opening tracks respectively. Real rating 4.5/5

Liked the instrumentals, liked most songs. 3.5/5

Let’s stay together is a classic. Standout tracks were Steel Claw(more so) and 1984

Obviously Heads Will Roll is an instant iconic track. Apart from that song, I didnt think I was going to enjoy the album with the early songs I heard, however I did enjoy the album a bit more as it went on. I'm a huge sucker for heav(ish) songs with a really light acoustic versions and the ones at the end of the album were a great breath of fresh air for me

Ironically, only songs I enjoyed were the feature artists.

Great album, you can clearly see the foundations of blues and it does it so well. One of my more preferable genres

1st song terrible， sounded like psychedelic circus music, turns out half the album sounds like this. The other half has nice heavy instruments but ruined by the vocalist sounding like a DnD goblin

Absolutely love the album, specifically The Rightous & the Wicked, alongside the hit singles. People always make a comment about how unique Flea's basslines are and it shows in full force. The only critique I have which might be a common one is that i'm very much enjoy lyrics and the wordplay, sadly some of the lyrics are so non-sensical that I couldnt justify a 5 4.5/5

It sounded very empty, like there wasnt much going on. Wasnt a fan of the vocals either

Suprisingly didnt care much for anything except Baba O'Riley (AMAZING track) and Won't Get Fooled Again, everything inbetween was pretty mediocre

Amazing album, I wasnt sure if I would like it from the first 5min of the opening track, but it sounded stellar. My parents listened to Goldie a lot growing up so i knew what to expect, it still impressed me. its a kind of genre I termed myself called trackmania music. Felt like I was floating with the stars

Every song is just a Queen song. (which is most definitely a compliment) Ogre Battle and The March Of The Black Queen were amazing tracks (alongside Seven Seas Of Rhye, which is definitely the best track on the album) There were a couple parts in songs that I thought dragged the track down for me but sooner rather than later it was back to hard hitting vocals or a sweet solo I think my real rating would be somewhere around 4.75, because it didnt WOW me like some other albums i've given 5 too, but in the same breath it was a constant stream of great music

The whole album just sounded like a bunch of demos from a week of renting a recording studio. I think the album would have potential if they chose some of their favourite 'tracks' and fleshed them out. I'll be rooting for Alien Lanes 2, so hopefully I can give it a better rating

Amazing album from head to toe. Hells Bells is a perfect opening track. You Shook Me All night Long is (in my opinion) the best track on the album, it's just the epitomy of music from its era. There isn't a single bad track here, and while some can feel similar, its a formula that works so well. AC/DC always has this talent to mask power chords behind other complexities so, so well

Before I knew it the album had ended. I had no memory of any songs. It’s like all of the songs merged into one continuous hum

Definitely the trickiest album i've rated thus far. I'm not a Beatles expert so I cant plot this album on the scale of psychedelia they had. I think the whole album was very good, it seemed very experimental too. Out of the songs I hadn't heard before, Got To Get You Into My Life was definitely the best one. I think real rating 4.5/5

What a happy holly jolly feel good album. I think Shining Star was the hit track from this record, but I can see why it didn’t perform as well as the showstoppers on their other albums. Still enjoyed it head to toe Real rating 3.5/5

A Led Zeppelin album always emits confusion. There are always some amazing tracks, pepperred with songs that make no sense but are still enjoyable to listen to. Obviously can’t forget the elephant in the room (Stairway To Heaven). But Black Dog & Rock And Roll are also amazing tracks

Not a lot to say about this one. Seems like a very standard album for its era, not really a fan of the vocalists voice

Adele is at her best when she is belting out big vocals. While there are a couple songs that do this, the majority feel shadowed by overarching instruments. I think all I Ask might be one of my favourite songs from her. Real rating 3.5/5

I think the best term to describe this album is summertime garden vibes. I wouldnt mind listening to this if it came on while I was outside with my friends having a BBQ in my garden etc Real rating 3.5/5

A nice album, reminded me a lot of the PJ Harvey album I heard before, but with a couple less memorable tracks. I really like Stars All Seem to Weep

Sounds kinda grainy, doesnt seem like its aged well. Dont think I would listen to it again.

Didn't hit like Songs In The Key Of Life. It felt a lot slower than I was used to for Stevie Superstition is an incredible track 3/5

The feature artists list is incredible, but I feel like the music was lacking a bit for this genre

I *really* dont like the nonsense of this album, I dont know if theres some deeper meaning that I have to delve into, since she is regarded as such an icon, but I cant emphasise how much it seemed like gibberish
