Want Two
Rufus WainwrightHe 'Want Two' and I'm going to give him a 2. Most of this album is just whinging. The second song is great though.

When he's good he's great but when he is bad he is fucking terrible. This album has a lot more good than bad though.
Turgid pish
Every single person in their 50's has definitely had at least one terrible sexual experience with this playing in the background. Thankfully I'm not in my 50's. This album is fucking rotten.
I didn't expect to give this 5 but it's great. Can't believe I had never listened to it from start to finish before.
An absolute classic. Safe to say I'm a Steely Fan.
Jekyll and Hyde album. First half is superb and the second is terrible.
Might be a little harsh but as far as grunge albums go this one is pretty far down the list for me.
Enjoyable but a little samey. Bass guitar is quality throughout.
Some great songs and a wonderful talent but I wasn't totally on board with the entire album. Waking the Witch was particularly poor. I will listen again and hope to be proven wrong.
Brilliant album with classic songs on it. I will be listening to this again. First impressions are that it's let down by the fact it's a little on the long side at an 1 hour and 20 mins and I'm not sure the No Woman cover version adds much. Nothing else to fault.
Sounds like a mixture of the Stones, Beatles, Pink Floyd and the Doors. Some alright stuff but nothing stands out.
Some great songs about shagging. Some very long songs about shagging also.

Would be a nice album to listen to on a lazy summer afternoon sinking a few cold boys.
I think a generous 4 for this one. It's a pretty funky album but I prefer their debut.
Not as bad as I was expecting.
Great album. Note to revisit.
Perhaps this album hasn't aged well and I am being harsh but I was delighted when I got to the end of it.
Slipknot were a early teenage favourite of mine but I've not listened to this album through. I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it. A bit of a different direction for Slipknot. A few songs too long or it would have been a 5.
Nice enjoyable listen. Will listen again.
Great album, brought back memories of growing up in the 90s.
Classic album. Pale Blue Eyes a highlight. One of the best songs ever written. Rest of the album is great also.
Yeah it's great. Loved it when it came out and love it now.
Fairly average.
Great album. Been meaning to listen to this for a while. Didn't disappoint.
Not a Beatles fan by any stretch of the imagination but this is a solid album with some pretty good songs on it.
It's a classic.
Some big hits on this.
It's a banger to be fair
I didn't expect to give this 5 but it's great. Can't believe I had never listened to it from start to finish before.
Loses a star for being far too long and loses a star for the absolutely horrific ob-la-di, ob-la-da. It was clearly ahead of its time but if I never listen to it again I won't be disappointed.
When he's good he's great but when he is bad he is fucking terrible. This album has a lot more good than bad though.
I had no idea what to expect with this one but I bloody loved it.
Hadn't heard of this guy before but recognised a few of the songs on the album. Enjoyable and of its time. Probably won't rush back to listen.
Definitely a stand out for the genre and I enjoyed it. Very long though.
A generous 3 for nostalgia reasons. Definitely reminds me of being a 90s child.
He 'Want Two' and I'm going to give him a 2. Most of this album is just whinging. The second song is great though.
Enjoyable album with some lesser known hits. Head over heels is a highlight.

I'm nearly 31 and have no idea whether I like the beach boys or whether I think they are dog shit. I'm not sure I will ever know.
It's alright. Some good tunes but not much more than that.
A very fucking generous 2.
Another very fucking generous 2 from yours truly. What a load of shite this album is. Definitely worse out there though.
Going to have have another few listens. Wasn't totally hooked first time but I suspect it's a grower.
He has better albums than this. Was a little disappointed by it.
This album is pretty seminal for hip hop artists but I'm not sure it's that great. From the fart noises on 'Hit It Run' to the lyrics on 'Dumb Girl' and 'You Be Illin'' this album ages pretty badly. I won't be Running back to listen.
This is pretty good. Wish I understood French. I imagine it'd probably score much higher if I did. Definitely return to listen.
Quite a good listen.
Genuine contender for his best album.
A sneaky 4. More like a 7 out of 10 but I'm feeling generous.
I didn't find this unbearable which is unusual because I despise almost all jazz music. Good background music for a nice quiet cafe or bar.
What a fantastic voice. Sounds like a fantastic performance.
Loved Eminem as a kid but not listened to him in a long, long time. I was dreading going back to this when it came up. Like going back to an old N64 game and seeing how shit it is. This felt similar. A childhood favourite that in my mind probably should remain there. However I thoroughly enjoyed that little blast of nostalgia. This has always been his best album and the best songs on it aren't the hits. As vulgar is it is funny. Shame his later output couldn't come close to this.
Wasn't aware the Jackass theme tune was by these guys. Some good stuff but ultimately this album is far too long and 43 songs long...fuck off. A good portion of them are shite. Generous 3.
I think it's their best album.
Won't be rushing back
Enjoyed this one.
Enjoyable listen. A couple of dud tracks but the rest was good.
