Popular Reviews

I agree with Noel Gallagher on this

There's a lot of foreplay, some pleasurable some not, before Layla opens her legs for the good stuff. Oh, and Clapton is a cunt.

Poundland Rolling Stones

Not a bad album, easy listening

Didn't hate this as much as other 'hair rock' albums.

Enjoyed it

A chilled classoc

Not my cup of tea that

Some classic tracks, but others have dated a bit

Freestyle jazz not my cup of tea

Loads of classic tracks

Awful 80's synth's

One amazing song, the rest average

Creative, and different album. Enjoyed it

Odd good track, but most are too short to get in to. Extreme lo-fi production is off putting

Excellent,dreamy, original.

3.5 out of 5. Chilled tunes

Far too screaming

Awful noise

Classic dad rock, can't fault it.

Some classic tracks, but also some 80's synth dross

3.5 / 5

Trippy San-Fran freak out

It might be a great Jazz record. But's it Jazz

A difficult listen at times.

Great pop

Not my usual taste, but quite enjoyed it. 3.5 / 5

A brilliant voice, but (it was recorded in 1956) dated

It might be the great, but it's jazz

Not an easy listen

Heavy metal ain't my bag

Just brilliant

An amazing voice, but Folk is not my thing

Run to the hills is a tune, surprisingly enjoyable listen

Sweet Love is a good song, rest of the tracks are ok, but slightly forgettable

Some classic tracks. 4.5 / 5

One of my favourite bands. A great album

4.5/5 - almost great, some tracks a little cold

Nearly 5 stars. 4.5/5. A brilliant album

Some interesting, excellent tracks. A couple of tracks unlistenable

Some classic tracks, but moody instrumental tracks interesting but not great

Poundland Rolling Stones

A stonecold classic. Don't know why I had not listened to this album for so long.

Symphony didn't work for me. Dull

Ace of Spades is clearly an awesome song, not so keen on the rest

Average beach vibes

Mostly unlistenable. Terrible

Awful noise

Dated

Don't get it, not an enjoyable listen

Just brilliant. One of the best albums ever.

Not a bad album, easy listening

Close to giving 5 stars. 9/10

Move any mountain is a tune, the rest were ok but not great

Mr Wendall is a top tune, the rest not so top

Just not my thing

Brilliant

Left me cold

Not awful

Nice enough album, good in the background

Enjoyed it, raw & grungy

A good listen

Nearly gave this 5 stars for sentimental reasons, spent many a hazy afternoon listening to this in the 90's. Really enjoyed playing it again.

Got be 5 stars

really laid back, cool record. One to listen to again

Funky

Can hear the influence on the Stone Roses, OK album

Ok punk record

80's, but in a good way

Played this album a lot in the 90's, tempted to give it 5 stars - but to these middle aged ears some of the tracks are just to repetitive.

A jazz album that I actually enjoyed. Take Five the best track

Got a soft spot for The Kinks, and this is one of thier best albums.

Thrash Metal. No thanks

unable to locate

Meh

Pub rock at best

Alone Again Or is a classic tune, the rest of the album is just ok

A fun listen

Some cool songs

A bit miserable in parts

Depressing

Chilled out background noise

not for me, something my Gran would like

It's ok, not sure it should be on this list though

Mostly depressing

Some classic tracks, overall not a 5 star one though

Loved this album in the 90's, still love it now. Nearly every track a classic. Supernova was my go to Jukebox pick, quality tune and long

Lyrics are brilliant, but his voice (and the harmonica) does get a bit annoying

Sub-par Stone Roses. All a bit same-y and forgettable

Love the Kinks, but this isn't a 5 star album

Laid back African vibes

Enjoyed this one, different in a good cool edgy way. The Bjork vocals are great

Some classic tracks, brilliant all round album

Suzanne and So Long Marianne are good songs, but the rest are to samey and to depressing

This generator is forcing me to listen to albums I would not ordinarily listen to. I won't be rushing back to this one.

good background music

God how I hate Bon Jovi, and so called Hair Rock. Awful

A cool, chilled, great background album

Preferred this over Songs Of Leonard Cohen. Not exactly uplifting though

Meh

Preacher man is a top tune. Some good stuff

Not my bag, but she obvisouly has talent

Fun, 80's dance

Meh

Too country for me

Album starts brilliantly, then falls off

short, concise punk record. Not bad at all

Early garage, lo-fi style. The Beatles did the covers much better though. Have love will travel is a top tune.

An enjoyable listen, an album I would listen to again.

For a swing album from 1959 it was ok, nothing more than background music though

trip hop style lounge muzak, but in a good way. Good background music. Liked it

Another enjoyable album

First couple of songs (only 4 very long tunes) are brilliant, then it gets talky and boring

Who knew, later Bob Dylan's voice is less irrtating than early Bob Dylan

Not my usual type of listen, but quite enjoyed it

9/10. First time I've listend to the entire album and it is mostly a joy

not band at all

Unremarkable

Not more hair rock. Awful

Jazz not my thing

Couldn't listen to it all. Nu-metal, or whatever this is, is not for me

Nice enough, but unoffensive Taylor Swift type country doesn't do it for me

Some brilliant tracks - It's Tricky, Walk this Way, You Be Illin'. A fun listen

Most music is influenced by what went before, and the influence on Oasis is well documentated and obvious. A good album in it's own right though

It was ok, as noted in other reviews largely incomprehensible lyrics

Not quite 10/10.

A brilliant hip hop album, nearly 5/5. The beats a little repetitive though. 9/10

Too many solo's. Cock rock

It's ok, not exactly sophisticated American rock

Not for me, dated

Superstition one of the best songs ever. You are the sunshine of my life, pretty good. The rest of the album is dross

Into my arms is lovely, great song

Always been more of an Oasis man. This album has not changed that

Black Sabbath cover, War Pigs, best thing about this record

not for me

Brilliant, chilled out vibes. Like a best of album

Travelling Australia in 2006 it felt like Manu Chao and Jack Johnson were being played in every hostel & backpacking bar. For that reason got a lot of sentimental love for this album, which to be fair is a pretty fun, easy listen

two halves to this album, chilled beats vibe and more guitar second half. Enjoyed both

Good background music this, perfect to listen to whilst working away.

And It Stone Me & Moondance are great tracks, but the rest are nothing special. Plus, like Clapton, he turns out that he's massive prick.

not for me

Some brilliant tracks, not quite 10/10 for me though.

Funky afro-beat

Not soppy ambient muzak, but interesting background music

Mostly forgettable soft jazz

What a treat. Excellent

Never listened to a Smashing Pumpkins album in full before, actually enjoyed it. Some great tracks. 9/10

80's synths date it, but some well crafted songs

Latin jazz, not bad but not one to listen to again

Since I Left You and Frontier Pyschaitrist are brilliant tracks, the rest of the album pretty damn good

Not for me

Old fashioned, but pretty funky.

meh

not for me

Very 80's, but not awful.

Most of their best songs on this album, brilliant

Not alot to say about this one, one good track the rest meh

Enjoyed this a lot more than the other Hold album on this list. Not bad at all

Groundbreaking back then, felt very dated now

Not for me

Can't tell what is being sung, but an interesting, hazy, shoegaze type sound

Sweet Dreams is a top tune, rest of the album not so great

Brilliant hip hop album

Not bad dad rock

Lust for Life & The Passenger are brilliant, top tunes. Rest of the album can't match them

I enjoyed this more when I was 16. Misogynistic, and bull shit male bravado prevails. No thanks.

A lot of songs, the brilliant Teenage Kicks eclipsing them all

Not a lot going on here for me. Well produced.

8 mile high is a brilliant track, some of the others sounded like sub-optimal Beatles

Suspicious Minds is my favourite Elvis song, and In the Ghetto is decent, but the rest are mostly songs my nan liked

Early proto punk. Harsh

Ok-ish background music

Too country for my tastes

A varied and interesting album, a mostly enjoyable listen. The 'lime in the coconut' song is bonkers but ace

Free Bird is a good tune, the rest not so great

Born to Run the stand out song, not that fussed on the rest

Got to be 5 stars

American folk/country is not for me. Dull

Excessive Bongo

Nice enough album. Marlene on the wall is the stand out track.

Prefer 90's hip-hop

Don't get it, morose. Dull.

More like a soundtrack, but fun

Depressing

Nice enough, don't know why it's on this list though. Forgettable

yet more Hair Rock. No thanks

Amazing album, brilliant opening tracks, just not quite a 5 starts

Meh

Grungy sameness, not my thing

Nearly 5 stars. All along the Watchtower is amazing.

Reminds me of Bruce Sprinsteen for some reason. It's good, not a fan of the slower tracks mind

Doesn't get much better than this

It might need more listens, but that isn't going to happen

No for me, Country Taylor Swift is no fun

Perfection. What more can be said about classic era Bowie. Sublime

Would listen again

not a very easy listen

Didn't hate it, which I thought I would.

Neither here nor there

Got a soft spot for the Kinks. Lovely album, not quite a 5 stars but right up my street.

Paper planes is a brilliant tune

Really enjoyed this album. One to listen to again.

Never heard of this band before now, not bad

Has to be 5 stars. A classic

Nice enough, some nice background tunes. Nice

Pyscho killer an amazing tune, the rest not so much

Dated.

Brill

Miserable

Not quite 5 starts, some weak/boring songs.

Didn't hate it as much as I though I would

Good background music, but it's a bit wishy washy

Early Beatles album, not as yet great

Started really well, last half not as good.

Sultans of Swing is a classic, enjoyed most of the other songs

Started well, but the guitar solo's plus saxophone get boring fast

A double album, enjoyed parts of it

I like a lot of DJ Shdaow's work, and really enjoyed this album. Groundbreaking

Mostly nothingness

Didn't hate this as much as other 'hair rock' albums.

Random Ska and Rock mix

Very short, but likeable

Didn't hate it as much as other American Hair Rock.

Loved it

Close to being 5 stars

Far out man

36 minutes long. Short, and great

Don't get it

Oliver's Army is a top top tune. Enjoyed the album

Some great songs, but the slower ones bore me a little

Black Magic Woman is brilliant

To Be Young and My Winding Wheel are brilliant tracks which I love to listen to, but the rest of the album doesn't quite live up to them

Still don't get it. Rambling nonsense. Couldn't listen to all of it

Not more Sitar. Not for me

Destined for greatness, but this album is a little rough and ready

Can't fully get behind the rock opera concept

Title track is a gem

A classic

Not for me this

4.5/5

Did nothing to change my mind that most 80's music is shite

Good, but didn't set my world on fire

9/10. His best album

Excellent post punk album. A lot to like

Bloody love this album. Best opening line of any album

The title track is a stand out classic, enjoyed the rest of the album

Close to 5 stars. 9.5/10

Completely new to me, an unexpected treat. Fun, funky afro-jazz, with huge history

A brilliant Bowie insprired album

Starts well, then falls off

Some great tracks, but others felt dated

Not for me

Jazz-fusion is a no

Hairspray rock, jazz-fusion, country music. 3 albums I do not want to hear in a run. Just no.

Not my bag

My god it's random, but not in a good way.

Not all 80's music, just the majority. This has some decent tracks, but it's not a classic

Folk ain't for me

BAD NOISE

Got a lot of sentimental love for this album, but not quite 5 stars

Top notch craftmanship

Couple of top tunes, but some filler

Couldn't finish it. 16 tracks was approx 14 tracks too long

Lot of love for 90's rap, and Jurassic 5. 4.5/5

Well produced, brilliant flow and feel to the rapping, but as it's mostly in French it's hard to get fully onboard

It might be really good country music, but it's still country music.

Not for me

Most tracks sound similar. Not for me

Brilliant, but knocked a star off for the instrumentals which I don't get

Smooth

Enjoyed this more than I thought I would, but still only a 3

Short, and sweet

Enjoyed it, but the language difference knocks a star off

Sentimental rating - probably. Not as good as Morning Glory, but still a 5/5

Never heard of this band, but it was good without one song really standing out.

Jazz isn't my favourite, but early Miles Davis albums are an exception

Might have been groundbreaking at the time, but not all that amazing now

Nope, no thank you, I'll pass, please move along

Couple of brilliant tracks

No idea what is being sung, but it's ok

Dated country, don't see this as must listen

Didn't know any of the tracks on this album, and whilst mostly decent there is a reason for that

Nice background music

Never imagined I'd like an album by a band called Megadeath, to the point where I nearly gave it 5 stars. Rock on dude. 4.8/5

Good background music

Not feeling this one, a bit shouty

Some interesting tracks, but too experimental

Decent. Monkey Gone to Heaven is a tune

Hurt & Personal Jesus are brilliant, rest only so so

Meh

White light is ok, the rest are just rambly bollocks.

Couldn't finish it

Short, and just ok.

Not earth shattering, but just alright.

Definitely interesting & different. Like it

The Rain is a great track, although well produced mostly left me a bit cold

Love The Jam, brilliant album.

Alot of fun, knocked a star off for the long drum solo's

starts well with Marz, gets a bit boring thereafter

60's soul sounding tunes, in a really good way. Like this a lot

Didn't hate this even though it's heavy. Not bad

Some classic tracks. A nice easy smooth listen

Love it

Oddly enjoyable

Preferred the upbeats tunes, but overall not bad

It's been a longtime, and god damn it, it wasn't that bad

Terminator X, Bring the Noise etc. are classictracks, but the album is overlong and repetitive (that scratching noise is used a lot)

Liked it. Will probably never listen to it agian mind

Brilliant. Proper rock music

Over produced, to slick. Not for me

The beginnings of a great band

It might be a trailblazing album, but it does feel dated now

Running up the Hill, Hounds of Love, and Cloudbusting are top top tunes. The album deserves 5 stars for them alone

Couldn't finish it. Never really enjoyed his voice, but this album seems worse than the others. Tracks too long

Heard individual tracks before, but never listened to the full album - which at 42 years of age is a travesty because this album is the bollocks.

As a fellow Valiant and Stokie I should like him, but his music's not for me. A couple of well written sings

Huge Paul Weller fan, whilst generally hating most 80's music. This wasn't too bad though

Meh

Not for me

I can see for miles is a great tune, but I didn't really get the rest of the album. Felt dated

No redeeming features

Fun glam rock.

You've got to love Crowded House.

Sandman is a top tune, but the album is repetitive

Decent

Above avergae rock. Possibly need more listens to fully appreciate it

Waterfalls and Creep are great tracks, the rest are so-so

Nearly 5 stars. The production is amazing, just a little it safe

The album with Fairytale in New York on, the best Xmas song ever. Enjoyed the ablum at first, but I wasn't drunk so it got old quick. Too long

Couldn't finish it. Childish, sexist and homophobic. He's just a little angry prick

Nice enough

Reading the other reviews it sounds like you needed to see the 'Dead live whilst on Acid, because their studio albums are pretty shit. I'd agree

A masterpiece

Good for a live album, but as one long jam session lacked direction

Clearly MM half inched anythig that was good on the album, and it started really well but faded out. Of it's time, but intersting

Like the Cure it's just a bit miserable, and therefore not much fun to listen to

All I Wanna Do is a great track, half decent album but not something I'll listen to again

Loved it, great rock and roll

This was groundbreaking at the time, but feels very dated now

A great ablum, but not quite a classic like most of their others

Enjoyed it

the beginnings of a great band, but not a great album

Meh

Didn't enjoy this Megadeth album as much as I did the other one

C&W / Bluegrass ain't for me.

Consecutive C&W albums! NO, NO, NO

Classic Hip Hop, but overly long

Not sure I get it.

Couple of top tunes, but too long

Not for me, maybe my granny

Doesn't hit the high's of his classic 70's albums

Meh

Not for me

Hasn't got any of their big hit singles on, but a quality album nontheless

Great voice, but it's dated. Strong early Disney films vibes

Nice enough, but christ I couldn't listen to 3.25 hours of this

Nearly 5 stars. Unfinshed symphony is a classic

Enjoyable prog rock. One track was 18 minutes, but soemhow not overblown

Was ok, not something I would listen to again

Ok background music, bit slow though

Nice enough background piano music, good background noise

For dumb rednecks only. Terrible

At times not an easy listen, but worthwhile. Not quite up to classic early Bowie standards, but a really good album nonetheless

Got to be 5 stars, some of the best rock tunes of all time

gritty, industrial, unpleasant in parts, but not wholly awful. Johnny Cash did 'Hurt' better though

Loved this album in the 90's, but it's only just striking me what a Stevie Wonder rip off it is. Still fun to listen to though

Not an easy listen in parts

Short sharp shock of punk. Not too bad

Sub par Nirvana

Green Onions is a great track, instrumentals getting boring quick though

I'm not young or angry enough to enjoy this

Meh

Not a huge Pet Shop Boys fan, but this album was alright.

Enjoyable

15 minutes of hardcore punk that I will never listen to again

A good album, but not great.

Got a soft spot for early nineties hip-hop, so thought I would like this more than I did.

First few tracks are brilliant, but tails off

Lovely voice, but dated covers

Meh

close to the Middle of the Road, and he's an insufferable prick

Golden Years is one of my favourite Bowie songs. A short, but classic album

Overly long, but a couple of great tracks

Some great songs, just not a huge fan of live albums

Started off brilliantly, but second half had some unnecessary instrumentals

The Killing Moon is great track, the rest of the album was largely forgettable

I thought I liked early Van Morrison, before him and his music turned into a bloated wankfest, but this must be too early

Second half of the album is much better than the first, including the mighty 'Smoke on the Water'

Interesting background music

All the Kings Men is a good tune, but this isn't an album you need to hear before you die.

The best I can say is not awful

Really enjoyed parts of it. Bottle is a classic

Really fun album, enjoyed it

Dated

Don't really get it

Couldn't finish it.

Ok punk

Decent punk

Nearly 5 stars. A fun, enjoyable listen

A fun, sometimes laidback, listen

Feels wrong to only give 4 stars given the number of classics on the ablum, but it double albums rarley work.

The beginnings of a great band, but not a great album

Devil's Haircut is brilliant, and there are some other great tracks on here

No, not for me, my deceased Gran might find it too old fashioned

Not for me

It might be really good salsa, but it's still salsa

Double albums don't really work, and this true here

He might not have the best voice, but the songs are well crafted and produced.

Some top rave type tunes, but also some dross

Enjoyably weird

80's Huey Lewis style soft rock.

Not really my thing, well produced and an amazing voice though

Noise! Not a nice noise though

Some of the tracks were ok, but not my thing

Was hoping for more, didn't really do it for me

Not for me

Got old quick. 69 tracks is 60 too many

Cinnamon Girl is a classic tune. Most of the country/folk songs I could do without though

Meh

Started ok, but soon turned in turgid mess

It might be great country music, but I can't listen to it

Not very interesting background music

Couldn't finish it. Awful

I just don't like C&W

Some classic tracks on here. A lovely short album

fun

Ladies is a top tune, but mostly a repetitive album

Nearly gave it a 4, but the best tracks are that good it's easy to overlook the lesser ones

Meh

Decent

Just because you can, doesn't mean you should. A hard listen

The best Joni M album so far

Pop Punk - not as bad as I expected. It's not awful

Mostly average. Cover of Heard it Through the Grapevine the only highlight

Hard rock is just not for me.

The more I listen to Waits the more I don't want to. Make it stop

C&W is a hard no.

Three 1's on the bounce. Hardcore punk is also not my thing

A soundtrack to a movie that doesn't exsist is a wierd premise, and it's not really much of anything

Could not be more 80's, not something I normally listen to

A tad overblown

Not a huge fan of Live albums, and this didn't really change my mind although it was decent

Not my usual type of music, but not awful

Went downhill fast after Karma. Couldn't finish it

Loved it, nearly 5 stars

Meh

It's ok, it's just not enough to get excited about

I fully expected to detest this. Country and 80's combined. But it's so bland to be nothing.

21st Century Schizoid Man is great track, not so keen on the free style jazz

Not bad, not great

I agree with Noel Gallagher on this

Not for me

half of track one is all I managed. no thanks

not for me

Crooner

It was ok, not bad not great

A musical fun sponge. Couldn't finish it

Suprisingly listenable

C&W is not for me

Nearly a 4, some good tracks on here. 7/10

Decent. Kick / Push is a tune

He sounds like a terrible person, but this short album has a lot of charm

Slow C&W is a hard no. Bore off

Slightly shambolic. Maybe I'm Amazed by far the best track

Not for me this.

Whine on some more why don't, but not to these ears.

Nice, easy, smooth, jazz for the background

I like this sort of raw, bluesy, early rock. Good stuff

Meh

Already feels a little dated. Dynamite Te Hee is a top tune though

Christ not more C&W, please make it stop.

An enjoyable listen, a lot to like

Birdland was interesting, the rest nothing better than background music

Didn't make it past the first song, a slow drowning in the freezing Black Sea would have been more fun. Terrible Beatles rip off

Title song is great, really feels like being in a swamp in New Orleans but at times a bit mad

Classic. First two tracks are belters, worth 5 stars alone

Fun and frenetic. Hardly a duff tune, a top Britpop album

It's not much of anything really

It's was ok, some interesting and unique tracks

It's good pop music, but not my thing

Race for the Prize is a great opening track, the rest felt inconsequential

A classic

Slick, well produced, a great voice, having said all that I couldn't listen to more than 3 tracks

Respect is a top tune, the rest were so-so

Back to back Aretha Franklin albums, and this was much the better one.

Television, the Drug of the Nation is by far the best tune on the album, whilst not awful it is repetitive

I like some Bjork stuff, but this was a hard listen - couldn't finish it

No, no thanks.

It's not something I will listen to again, with the best tracks overplayed on radio, but there is worse hair-rock

Meh

A couple of classic disco trackers, but most are over long

I just can't.

Not for me

Good background music

Really enjoyed it, a lot to like.

Some great tracks, it just does quite add up

Preferred the previous two Nick Drake albums

It's just not for me

He can write songs, but doesn't have the best voice

Couldn't finish this too experimental/shit

First 3 tracks are belters, gets middle aged really fast after that

Over long, over produced.

The title track is a decent, then it gets very safe and elevator like

White man blues. The track about the 18 year old girl is a bit creepy

I now know where the Jackass theme tune comes from

Decent, a great band

It might be well crafted, but it's a bit miserable

Not very interesting background music

Couple of classic tracks, but generally too 80's

Why the fook is this shite on the list. Minus 1. Unlistenable.

Couldn't finish it. Not for me

Nice enough, but nothing special

4 stars for 1999, and the memories from Trentham Gardens new years eve party 1998

A surprisingly great album, short and to the point. Will listen again

1/10, not for me - too much screaming

9/10. A couple of the bluesy tracks not quite doing it for me. Mostly brilliant though

Odd, fun, and sleazy. An album that doesn't take its self seriously. 7/10

On a Rope is a decent track, the rest of so-so

Like a very long intro, gave up waiting for something to happen

Easy to be snooty about Green Day, but this album has got some good songs

Nearly a 5

An easy 5 stars

Slick, but shallow

Mark's voice is sometimes a hard listen, but alot of these tracks were really good

Inoffensive, but not awful

Had it's charms, but overly long

Album not available, enjoyed some of the tracks

Synth heavy

A certain charm, but not very exciting

Maximum sexiness

Meh

Dreamy, etheral etc. slightly dull but I liked it nevertheless

Dated, but decent

Like it

Nice enough, sort of Brazil's answer to Sargeant Pepper, but of course no where near as exciting

About as good as C&W gets, and that's still only a 3

For Folk music the album was actually very listenable

Couldn't finish it. Basic

Not my thing, most stracks ounded a bit samey

I enjoyed the first Dexy's album. This one much less so, not sure what they are trying to achieve, but whatever is they don't.

Unable to find the album on a streaming service

Couldn't finish it. Not for me

Nice enough laid back jazz

I like Blues music, but not sure if this is classic JLH

On the list because of what came later

Unique, original, excellent

Meh

He seems to release an album every other day, but this one was impossible to find. Not my thing

Not even going to attempt to listen to this

Dull

unable to listen

can't stand C&W

Never heard of them, but enjoyed it

Meh

Not for me, too folksy

Boomer rock, couldn't be bothered to listen to all of it on YouTube

As good as blues music gets

There's a lot of foreplay, some pleasurable some not, before Layla opens her legs for the good stuff. Oh, and Clapton is a cunt.

not their best album

My hardcore punk limit is about 3 tracks, then I've had enough

Feels a bit dated now

Classic

Sex&Drugs&Rocknroll is by far the best song, some dross on the album

Dated

Bit dull

Seven Nation Army deserves 5 stars alone

Not aged well at all

back ground music

not their best work

After the well know hits at the start of the album is progressively gets worse, couldn't finish it

Interesting stuff. Clearly influential

Awful. Random noise. Just no.

excellent background music, but kinda empty

Nearly 5 stars 9/10

C&W

Classic

Some overly long tracks, but at times enjoyable

Nice background jazz

Meh

I like their latter stuff, but this is a bit slow and odd

not bad, not great

Like the intimate feel, for C&W not bad at all 6/10

Probably best I don't understand the lyrics, given the context. Can hear the influence on Air

Has to be 5 stars.

liked this alot 4.5/5

At times amateurish, rambling and odd, but with a certain charm. Hard to believe it was recorded in 1965/1966

All the tracks have that much distortion going on they sound a bit samey, with no chance of understanding the lyrics. Bah humbug

Couple of extremely well known songs, the rest were just as cheesy

Has a certain louche charm

Don't get it

Dark, atmospheric, low-fi-esc

never been a massive fan, just a bit miserable in it?

Dad rock

Most C&W albums are one stars, this scrapes a two

Time of the season is a classic, the rest of the album was a bit disappointing

What the actual fook is this? Just about managed to listen to the first track, could not stand the drill in the second track. Just because you can (sample annoying industrial sounds), doesn't mean you should

ok, overly long

nice background music

Some of the more traditional rock tracks were great, the experimental tracks were nearly unlistenable

You wait months for an experminental German album to come along, then boom 3 in four days. This one was a bit of a bore-fest, zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

ok in parts, too much crooning

as a rule I hate 80's synth music, this album did nothing to change my mind

Of it's time, but not awful

Not even going to try to listen to this. Garbage

It's great, but at times a little slow

Reminded me of the The Animals, not bad

Didn't hate this like other thrash albums, in parts it was ok. 7/10

Can tell that some of them they were off their heads for the majority of recording, at times incoherent

not for me, bit dull

Meh

Favourite Nick Cave album, not miserable like some of his others. Interesting 7/10

It's not the best Beatles album, but it's still a damn fine album

She can certainly sing, it's just not my style of music

Started with some classics, but tailed off

Couldn't finish it, not her best album

Way ahead of it's time

The second, electric, half is better than the first accoustic half.

I didn't hate this as much as I thought, but not for me

Started ok, got repetitive

Likeable reggae

Some classic tracks - America, Mrs Robinson, but the not so classic tracks are forgettable

A great debut album, not at their peak though

As a teenager this would have defo been a 5 star rating, now I'm middle aged and slightly grumpy I'm knocking a star off for the stupid interludes and the misogyny

It's not the worse C&W I've heard, but it's still C&W

An album that probably needs repeated listens to fully appreciate it. I can see the similarities with The Flamping Lips

As an instrument the conga does not have a lot of variety, I suspect. There is only so much you can do, and after a while listening to it (say 2 to 3 minutes) becomes tiresome

Got a lot of love this album, it's not a masterpiece but it is very very good. 7/10

Nearly 5 stars. 9/10

Forgettable background muzak

Meh

Enjoyed that. Spellbound is a top tune

Fairly decent punk music, not massively blown away but listenable

Almost a one star. Joyless, and Damian voice grates after a while

Some good tunes 7/10

Two consecutive early 90's rave albums, both of their time but enjoyable

It's my type of hip hop, it's just not amazing

I'm more of an Oasis fan

One of my wife's favourtites. It has some classic tracks

my type of hip-hop, but not their best album

Like it

Nope, it's just a bit dull/depressing

ok jazz, with a lot of organ

Meh

middle of the round

Lacked Paul Simon

1969 & I Wanna be your dog are brilliant tracks, the rest of the album is so-so

Meh

My Friend is a great tune

Meh

Cheer up love, it might never happen

grates after a while, only so much middle ages warbling a man can take

Some bangers on here

Not yet hit the hights

not as fun as other S&TFS albums

mostly unlistenable

Got boring really fast

I'm starting to think, 980 albums in, that there is only 200 maybe 300 albums max that you need to hear before you die. Fever Ray is not one of them. The vocals are really annoying

He might have created ambient music, but it has been done better, overall a bit dull

Loved this album in 2002, it's not aged very well though

ok background music

not really my thing, not as annoying as most thrash metal though

An interesting album, main highlight being the two tracks covered by Nirvana in their MTV live session. 7/10

Fun in parts, doesn't take itself seriously

bit dull

no meat on these bones

Surprinsgly poor

Enjoyably bonkers, & A Minha Meina is a top tune

Some decent stuff on here

star knocked off for a couple of terrible filler type tracks

not up to classic ealry Portishead standards

Didn't expect to like a folk album so much, but will listen again

boring

Christ no

Not even going to try and listen to this one

hard work

Starts ok, gets wierd quick

Meh

Started of well, the sort of industrial heavy metal I can just about listen to, then got repetitve

half of one track was more than enough

Ridiculous how may top songs this album has, and how many have been covered by famous artists. The covers might have been sung better, with a more polished production, but it would be wrong not to give this album 5 stars

Got a lot of raw charm, & some top tunes

Bit samey

Christ it's awful

Didn't blow me away, he can write a good song he can't necessarily sing it

hard work listening on YouTube, not worth it

I like Steve Mason, but this album is forgettable

Decent enough rock n roll 3.5/5

Blitzkrieg Pop is a classic, but the tunes do sound very samey

Starts of brilliantly, then trails off

It's no Pill & Thrills, a far superior album

hard work

One of the best chill out albums ever. 9/10

decent punk

Mixed bag

Suprisingly beautiful, nice laidback Indian music

dull

The well known hits hit hard, most of the album tracks do not hit at all

meh

started ok, last few tracks unlistenable

7/10

I now know why Bowie covered Amsterdam. As for the rest of album I had to give up, it's hard work listening to a foreign language album.

It's been a while on this list, but at last a decent album I'd not listended to before

A couple of bum tracks, but mostly a fun listen

Some nice funky tracks

Enjoyed that. Top quality hip hop from the best period for that genre

The run of good albums had to end somewhere. Not as unlistenable as some noise rock, it still lacks melody etc.

Nope

I just can't listen to C&W.

Smooth middle of the road Steely Dan-esque beat

Couldn't finish it, an album I'd rather hear after death

all a bit samey, got boring real fast

Streets of my town is a top tune, the rest not so much

couple of 80's classics, but a lot of dross too

Bob Dylan-lite

It's got be a 5, some of the tracks are all-time classics

just brilliant

Reading the reviews and thought I would hate it, but Id didn't - it was ok

not something I'd listen to again, but not awful

Chicago is a brilliant song, I liked some of the others - the album overstayed it's welcome though.

Upbeat Nice Cave is so much better than depressing/slow Cave. Enjoyed it

Don't fully get The Fall fandom thing, some tracks have a certain charm but mostly incoherent

Couple of nice tracks, and I didn't hate the rest like I do most C&W

I did a fair amount of raving in the 90's (I have tinnitus and the short term memory loss to prove it) so enjoyed this

not for me this one

it was ok, a bit samey

It was ok

bit dull

7/10. Liked it

Annoyingly I enjoyed the album, he might be one of the biggest tools alive but back in the day he could craft a tune

A couple of fun tracks, but mostly shite

Had a certain raw charm

Didn't blow me away, it was ok

Not their best album on this list, still a lot to like though

Meh

If I could give a minus I would. Managed about 20 seconds

not sure why it's on this lsit, it's ok

fun, but not really engaging
