Tre merde !

Garbage! Why is this on the list?

Stop warbling for christ sake

If you like warbling this will be right up your alley. I don't.... it's irritating and awful !!

The same beat for every song, lyrics I could hardly hear. Very average

All Ratings (1089)

Really enjoyed this album as I wasn't sure when I hit "play" this morning

Sounds great but very samey

Good first song.... downhill after that.....

Nope

good music, terrible vocals

Absolute banger. Every song is good

A bit dated for me

In 1979 I might have enjoyed this ! It's very samey and very very repetitive !!!

Outstanding. And given when this came out, way ahead of its time!

Too long !

Not sure why this one was picked as every other album they've produced is better than this.

Great sound but it's all covers and would rather listen to the originals.

Influential my arse !

I don't get i !......

V. good

Not a singer…..

Dull dull dull dull dull !

Ahhh the famous Beatles tribute band........

How would it sound if they had a good drummer?…..decent album though

Rubbish

Why is this on the list !?!? Dross without a rhythm section...

Superb

Tre merde !

How is this on the list ?

Utter wank and its been the same for the other 2 albums I've had to endure from this guy !

Should I be listening to this before I die ?......... No I shouldn't

Stop warbling for christ sake

Utter garbage. Track 1 set the tone and it didn't change.

The only good thing about this band was that it gave my colleague an idea for tea tonight......

First half was a five. Second half was a 2. Final score 3..... shame

How is this on the list????? JLH must have done a better album than this !?

Why ?

Awful

A bit whiney for me

Not good sign when you skip through the first track half way through. Very dull........

Good but too long....

Good last song.... why is this on the list?

One of the most under rated British bands. This is my favourite album of theirs..... an easy 5

Christ that was dull. Sufjan, you don't need to do the other 49 states !

I'm pretty sure that i would have coped not listening to this before i die....

First, use a piano that's in tune. Next find somebody that knows how to play it and by that I mean hitting the keys in the right order and at the right time.....

I'm going to cut and paste from the review I gave this band for the another of their albums......... awful..... when you think about what is missing from this list, you wonder how on earth albums like this got on it.......

Excellent album

Get a singer !!

Kanye wannabe. Not great tbh

Dull ! But the lyrics made me smile

Why ? She can't even sing

Awfully dull

Utter shite

Terrible. If you're going to write a song, do it in a key that you can sing in!!!

What on earth is this doing on the list?!?!?

Fellas, you can play your instruments faster. You never know, it might cheer you up !! Everyone else.... awful !

Grizzly Bear?!....more like sleepy, boring bear. Zzzzz

The only good thing about this is the album cover. Utter crap!

I hate clarinet jazz!

The same beat for every song, lyrics I could hardly hear. Very average

Great voice but this is just singing by numbers and so dull 😴😴😴😴

Awful, winey voice

Too long

How is this on here ?

Awesome!

Rock jazz.....nice....not....dull as fuck

Very dull

Sounds great but it's so good damn long !

Social commentary at its best

Beautiful and undeniably sad

Awful

If you like warbling this will be right up your alley. I don't.... it's irritating and awful !!

Rubbish. Random sounds thrown together.

Garbage

The first half is big band jazz at it's best !!

Awful. Lots of noise with a man trying to sing with a "grough" voice

Still trying to work out why it's on the list......

Chaps, not every song needs to be 5 minutes..... the start of a song shouldn't sound like the middle and the end..... its boring and this is what this album is

awful....

Why is this on the list? It's not even an interesting listening....

Rapping poor. Lyrically poor. Sampling tedious. Didn't like it when it came out..... like it even less now and trying to work out how its made the list

Interesting to start an album with a slow song. Didn't even know the second song had started because it sounded like the first..... as did the 3rd song.... and the 4th...... and the 5th..... BORED !!!!

Awful

Could have been used for the soundtrack to Smokey and the Bandit. Good film, terrible music!

Utter durge!! Why is this on here ?

A collection of very dull songs. It's on the list because?......

Dull as hell

Way to warbly

A lot of noise and swearing dressed up in various attempted music genres. It's garbage. Still wondering who thought this should be on the list...

Awful

With a vocalist with little range makes this very samey and frankly irritating to listen to. How is this on the list ?

Why is this on the list? Because it's groundbreaking? Well it is, groundbreakingly shit !

How this band has one album on here is baffling, never mind 3 !! For the third time.....bloody awful

Just like the other album on here....average

Best post punk album ever!????.....I don't think so....

Garbage

Very formulaic nu-metal. I never understood why they were so big

Not my cup of tea at all

Who actually likes this album? One of the worst to date by quite some way.

I don't genuinely get this artist....never have, never will. Very overrated with a very annoying voice

He's so C&W it hurts.... Its another one of those HTF did it get on the list, it's awful. The only good bits were when he's talking in between the songs and because he's shit at that as well, its funny. Particularly when he introduces his mate to sing one of the songs with him. He must be deaf because he shouts his replies...its hilarious. But to sum up, Jack, you can take your floor, your guitar, your harmonica and your weird friends and fuck off ! Its a 1.

Awful everything !!!!!!

One of the band must have wrote the wiki review.... inspirational....yes...to never listen to another Pavement album. Garbage !

Garbage and there's 2 albums !!!!

How ???????

Crap in the 80s and still crap now......

Garbage! Why is this on the list?

Its shit, don't know how its on the list. The songs are at an octave that she can't reach. That means that her voice breaks a lot of the time and I think she thinks it's sexy, souly & artistic. It's not....its really irritating. It's also very, very samey, and i didn't realise i was on the next song for most of the album. It's awful. 1.

How ? This is awful!

An extra star for comedy lyrics in Steamroller. Otherwise sugary rubbish

This is an early April's fool right ?! Absolute garbage and on the list !

No wonder she was having so much trouble with her man if had to listen to that all the time !!!!

🤮

Tragic by name, tragic listening to it. Which brother thought that chucking in a mandolin would make it all the difference? Awful

Just because you're first album is great, doesn't mean the second one will be.....so why is it on the list ?

Not sure why this is on here......

So over rated this guy

Too longgggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg!!!!!!!

This is absolute garbage. I'm glad they drowned !

Bored!!!!!

Awful and there's about 5 albums on here by him !!!

Every cliché is this country album. Heard all the songs in Smokey and the bandit, Smokey and the bandit II, Every which way but loose or Any which way you can. Awful

Dull as ditch water

Awful album. Song 2, The Duchess, has to be one of the worst songs I've ever listenend to.

One word for one star......awful

Its the same song just being repeated....isnt it ?

Another awful SY album...surprise

Terrible nonsense

1971 must have been a bad year for music....globally....for this to be considered for the list. It's bloody awful !

This is bad....very very bad

I don't know what to say....shit ?

Great rhythm section shame but then it goes into free form punk with some twat on a guitar. And then you have some twat that wants to wail rather than his usual talk/shout singing. Real shame Mr Lyddon but this is awful

What an earth is this ?

Pass me a cigarette.....I am spent !!

Why ?

No......just no

The first song, Boring, Boring, sums it up really

Absolute rubbish like the things he was banging !

Amazing !

The best song is the sing they didn't even write, Memphis.....sums it up really

Awful

Absolute wank !

Outstanding !

If they were playing with fire, they didn't do it properly otherwise they'd have burnt the recording studio down so that we wouldn't have to listen to this monotonous, boring and over-long offering.

Losses a star for being a compilation that isnt even all his own work !

It does !

Too long !

absolutely bloody awful !!!!!

"Live" ?.......I'm not sure it all was.......still average

Way to long !!!

why ? It's awful

Its just so samey !!!!!!!

Their best album by far !

Rock my arse ! Its more middle of the road than the white line. Dull as fuck

Holy crap.....so bad its funny !!

Everything about it is awful. How it's on here is beyond me?

I was surprised by how bad the vocals were.....every note sung flat....what a skill!!

How many albums does it take on the list to confirm when a band is just so niche that only 8 people are going to enjoy. It doesn't take 3 on this list. They all sound the same and as equally as bad as each other.

Setting aside Justin's unique vocals (which absolutely suit the music) I challenge anybody to give me a band of the last 20 years that are playing rock like this. Its old school, it sounds great and they are superb live. So it's tongue in cheek at times....so what.... it still rocks !!!

This is shit !

That is quite possibly the worst album on here. I mean......why ???????

Possibly the worst female vocalist ever ! I understand one album but not five on the list

Good first side. Poor second side.
