Oh yeah. This is a great choice, thank you selecta

Great selection, a real surprise banger. Just a tad too long.

Really enjoyed his story telling, listened a few times since having this in the generator

This banged. Like, it really fucking banged. Far out, what a treat. 5/5. Admittedly, this is my submission. Is it perfect? No. Is it super in places? Yes. Did it introduce my young self to the wider world of grime that I still love today? Yes. One of the most important albums in forming my taste. I'm glad I listened to it before I died

Each to their own

Lively fun

Had this on in my headphones, meandering around town on a bike late at night after an eventful day. It was perfect.

Talented for a high school band

Sou d slime he is having more fun making the his music than I am listening to it

Enjoyably theatrical

Strong indie album

Great choice. Reminded me to practice my French too

Competent

Lots of energy. Bit over the top.

Beautiful, James Blake vibes

It's sunny outside, couldn't go lower than a 4

For country folk, which was statistically one of my least favourite genres in the book, this is decent. Give me a summers day and some greenery and my bike and I'll chill along to this nicely.

An interesting choice that I'm glad I listened to, even if it didn't set my world alight.

Train ride at sunset material. Thanks for the suggestion

Like a slightly more aggressive snow patrol. Was hoping it would be more emo, but I appreciated your choice none the less.

Bigger, brasher Arab Strap with any subtlety jettisoned. I love Arab Strap. Not this.

Each to their own

Wasn't looking forward to this as it would generally not be my thing from the sounds of it. However it knocked along quite nicely.

My player wouldn't let me hear the 3 improvisation tracks. Probably for the best. It was fun and around the right length without them.

Top choice. I hadn't listened before, but what a great selection of styles

Retro dance. Super

I always found echo Elly to be a more interesting version of garbage

Poppy pop. Poptastic selection

Interesting

Not too cheesy

Didn't read up of they were actually Spanish or not, but unlike the Spanish football team, this album only gets 3 stars

Kept me good company through a late night at work

Good in places, dragged in others. Still worth a listen.

Not as fun as the cover

The kind of music my wife loves

I once worked with a Bon Over fan who called my criticism that their music doesn't go anywhere "clichéd". It's right though, innit. Still, it was a different vibe and I appreciate your selection.

Bobbed along nicely. I prefer their more energetic tracks. Nice selection, I enjoyed the time listening to this.

I keep trying, but took still don't do anything for me

Didnt hate. Good solid early 90s punk

I thought they were more pop punk. This was a lovely album full of light reggae rock vibes

Really enjoyed his story telling, listened a few times since having this in the generator

American quirky, so comes across as a bit forced.

Hits way less now im a non teenager! But a nice bit of nostalgia, thanks for the selection.

An amazing amount of 5s for what is a fairly insufferable album. I don't mind a comedy album if it's done well. This is just shite.

Some of zappas more relatable work. +1 for making me think of the lost lake trails

Didn't age that well

Solid. I felt cool listening to it

Meeeh

I recognised the languid vibes and gravelly voice, but could place it till the last track (which is an excellent way to end an album)

Solid

Perfectly lovely

Hard. Varied. Great

Pish. Is it really talent if you don't use it to good effect. Just middle of the road jams. And 2 hours of it? I would have given 2*s, but 2 hours... Man...

Didn't really cause me to have any emotions

I was hoping for something more Scottish sounding

Dreary

Better than I expected

Nostalgic

Like progress never happened

Really up and down attitude wise. Peaked early with don't marry her. The liars bar song was fucking awful.

Fun

Lovely but a bit long

Enjoyed it. Some nice guitar hero and windows 95 nostalgia

Competent and sad

Wanted to love it, but some of it was just too avant garde for my little brain.

Didn't change my world, but was very competent

Enjoyed the one without the really fucking annoying vocals on it.

Pretty cool

Faaaaar toooooo looooong

Really cool, makes me want to go snowboarding

Pretty decent

Really cool. Loads of energy

Quite funny in places. He loves the word pussy.

Really quite dull. Someone said the Alex turner is like David Bowie but not as good, but a lot of this felt like a pulp cosplay but just lacking that pulp magic.

Vibes

Pretty good... For a live album

Fun and all over the place

Status Quo are less shit than I thought. Still though, they peaked with 'come on you reds'

Modern folk. Fantastic

All time number 1 classic

Decent, but not in their top 2

Meeeehusic

I'm saved

i find sampha works better as a feature. love his voice, but a whole album of it started to drag

Kinda cool

I don't know how someone would literally fuck off. But that is what I want whoever it is who added this to do.

Some nice soaring songs that got me hyped to get up an make the sandwich i've been desiring

Modern industrial chic. Very zoolander.

Fun

I can see why people would like it

Standard modern folk

Great. More Elvis Costello. Hell no.

Wasn't boring

It was ok

Didn't break any new ground for me

Uninspiring

Nah

Oh yeah. This is a great choice, thank you selecta

I felt they were a bit over hyped, and that his voice grates a bit after a while (it is very front and centre). But it was decent still

Loved the first half. The start of the second dragged a little, but it really ended with a bang. 4.5/5

Truly wonderful

Nice laid back fun

Funky little number

Glad I listened, might not listen again, but it was genuinely interesting. Nice pick

I enjoyed the readers wives review, which was the highlight of this album. This is more of a piss take choice than Rachel Stevens. In summary: No, Thank you.

Bootiful, as they say in South South East Iceland

got better as it went on

Nice! Jazz/I.S.S soundtrack vibes

I love the weeknd's production, but he is just so whiny.

Good, but could have done with editing down as it got a bit samey

Proper emo, a genre which was missing from the book. Good choice.

Here for the cover

Nicely done soul, brilliant voices.

Not bad, but too long for something that is not bad

Very much of its era. Trying too hard.

First 4 tracks were like the deep, less fun cuts from the Pro Evo 2010 soundtrack. Last 3 tracks were better, but they ruined that goodness by applauding themselves at the end of each track. Smug gits.

Ok

Brilliant. 4th of July the highlight of a beautiful but not wishy washy album

Not listed to much DOOM before, but this was great, will listen some more.

Their record company don't want me to listen to this, but I did hear side A of the album and it was decent.

Top

Not my thing, wouldn't listen again, but was really well done and slightly odd.

Doesn't have much going for it

Fun change of pace. Nice add to the list.

A style that very much stayed where it started, thankfully

Strong in general without being too exceptional anywhere

Got a bit boring

Nice slice of fun

Couldn't get into it

Didn't hate it, some lovely bass lines

Bit longer than I would have liked, but interesting

Decent storytelling, but it was all a bit meh. I think that might have been the point of it.

Enjoyed the album cover, but that was all. Tainted by being my least favourite genre.

Super!

Bit whiney. Like REM, who I also think are shit

Dinner party music

Droned on a bit. Dull songs that were long and felt even longer

Decent enough without being exceptional

Reading and working music done well. If I meditated, I think I'd like to meditate to this

It does have a bit of anti flow about it, but is stylish enough. Not background music, that's for sure.

I prefer screamo

It's a 4* album, but it has a Jews harp, and as a consistent applier of my own arbitrary rules, that means +1*

Interesting

Ruined my day

A nice slice of energy

Struggled to get into Jai Paul back in the day, even though I really wanted to! looking back there is some good stuff here

Expertly chilled

Made time go slower

What a find. Great fun pop

There is a great conspiracy about how he died in Oman involving a party, a young royal, and a wine bottle. That is not to make light of his death. This album had a couple of great pop songs and a lot of generic ones too.

Reet good

Some real bangers on here and interesting themes tackled too. The remix album is also good. There are a couple of tracks that bring it down from a 5, but this is good solid pop dance.
