Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not

Popular Reviews

This was exactly the kind of nothing R&B bilge that used to get me really animated in the 90s. Not now though, I’m chill. 😎

My second or maybe third favourite Beatles album

Add a star if you’re on acid

Shame you can’t give a 0 rating. Genuinely one of the worst things I’ve ever heard. The only list this should be on is 1001 awful rackets to subject terrorists to.

Lazer Guided Rackets more like

My Bloody racket more like

One of those albums that’s on here for a laugh. I like those ones occasionally. Like a mate slipping you a CD and saying “You need to hear this” “Oh, is it good?” “No, but it’s f_____g mad.”

The Racket, more like

I’ve been pretty strict with myself on this list. Pushing myself to listen to all of everything even if it’s really not my thing. I got five tracks through this and, seeing how many more there were to go, realised that ultimately life was too short. I listened to it while stuck in a traffic jam on the M6, which at least afforded me time to daydream about other things I could be doing. Like having my wisdom tooth removed or being kicked repeatedly in the knackers.

If self indulgent masturbatory instrument interaction is your thing, this will be right up your strasse. For the rest of us we are left to contemplate what it would be like to be there, not on drugs, while the band wanks on for 20 minutes.
