You talk so hip you’re twisting my melons man. Nonsense was never so cool You probably had to be there but if you were this is close to perfection. 30 odd years disappear in an instant

a classic

Never heard of them before, quite liked it though, slightly early genesis feel

Foo fighters by numbers ok but not greet

Meh, ok but almost a pastiche on places

Ok tbink i get it now

Even the less good tracks are good and the good ones are great

Ok so it might be a bit problematic but still great

Seems to be dialling it in, not sure why i had to listen to that particular album before i die

Pretty good, dragged a bit towards the with too much record company stuff

A bit of everything

Funky

Better than I feared but I thought it would be very bad

Interesting, had never heard of them but this grabbed me from first listen

Better than I expected but not sure i’d listen again

Wanted to like it but didn’t seem to quite grab me

Goes a bit pub singer at times

Not a bad rap album but not a geeat album

3.t5 stars, angry but playful

What punk should have destroyed

Was surprised how good this was, mostly thoughtful and sadly still relevant race anger

Better than I feared, but fairly standard stuff, not sure I’d listen again

What a strange little man he is

Very mellow

Quite enjoyed that

Steely Dan was a term of abuse and now I see why, technically good but soulless. One star bonus for being sampled by De La Soul

Enjoyed that

Groovy baby, like Austin powers in musical form

Loaded is such a good tune that it has to be a 5

Status Quo with beards

Some tracks missing from spotify

Good but not their best

Wasn’t as painful to listen to as some metal but just found it boring

It’s ok, although she’s not got that much interesting to say at least she can sing even though it gets s bit warberly towards the end.

Pleasant enough, country rock

Quite enjoyed, had never heard of him. Reminded me a bit of teenage fanclub

Solid 4, almost a 5

Bit of a groan when i saw this, but was ok

Do like it just not quite a 5

Part 1 is decent but part 2 drags

Never really heard of him but thought this was pretty good i’ll be back to this one

Nearly a 5 squelchy synths and a bit too much cheesy toppings on a few tracks but close.

Wild horses is great but a lot of the rest is a bit meh, did grow on me though

I would listen to Marvin sing the phone book, in a few times in this it sounded like he was

We want to write our own songs, they get the opportunity and just do half rate Beatles pastiches

Odd thing, grew on me a bit

Don’t get why there are so many NY albums on this list, don’t get it

Mostly just bb king sounding blues

Surprisingly fun and silly

Prejudices confirmed, bit pile of meh

Did feel a bit too much like an art exhibit

Almost a 5 for it’s like hypnotising chickens alone

A bit too earnest

Not unpleasant just boring

A high 3

Probably deserves another listen

Great chill out music

Brings back not so fond memories of DLT playing this sort of bland shite on Radio 1

2.5

Don’t get it, mostly would rather have been listening to the songs he sampled. Less than the sum of the parts and does feel hasitly put together

2 rap albums in a row. This was slightly better and improved on 2nd loop but still not good

Really boring

Actively disliked this

The twat in the hat, really took against this and couldn’t be bothered to finish

Ok not their best

Beautifully mental

Interesting, parts reminded me of Gomez

Why we have quite so much of this bland shite in this list still escapes me, the ads on youtube were better then the songs

Might be worth anther chance but sounded fairly basic on first run through

Very good chilled beats

I’m with the writers of the good place

High energy yet chilled, interesting but long

Very close to a 1, tedious

Boring and in places comically bad

Tedious

Had to go and wash the stench off by listening to Otis

What wrere we thinking, much blander and slower than I remember

Bad day, might be worth another listen

Smell the glove

Worth another listen at some point

Another spinal tap wannabe band

Bit of a surprise, worth revisiting

Better than expected

Will listen again

Skimmed

Almost a 5

Slow burn but grew on me

Parody

Enjoyed this more than I should have, silly childish glam rock

Don’t really get rap, this is very meh

Can I kick it is great

Voice like nails on a blackboard

Might be worth revisiting

Odd but mildly interesting, a bit like talking heads

Incel nursery rhymes

Andrew Tate brain farts with awful backing

Big of nostalgia

May be worth another listen

Fax noises at first but improves to something interesting

Your call is important to us

Just no

Break

That last song definitely dropped a point

The great tracks are great but too much dross for a 5

For some reason I’ve never heard of this album, lots of good stuff on here

Some of it was interesting some of sounded like a bratty 5 year old with a toy trumpet

First time I’ve heard this, borders 5 as a reminder to listen again

Fairly interesting

Like butterscotch angel delight

You talk so hip you’re twisting my melons man. Nonsense was never so cool You probably had to be there but if you were this is close to perfection. 30 odd years disappear in an instant

Great debut but slightly empty sounding

Quite a lot of filler,some of it pretty weak

Grew on me

Birthday is great the others are a bit meh

Bob Dylan and the Shadows

Possibly a 3.5 but did start to grow on me a bit

Almost a one, some comedy 80s backing

1st song good rest very meh

Worth another listen or 2

Almost a one

Essence of rainy Sunday afternoons

Odd in a fun way, deserves another listen

Need to relisten not sure how I missed this first time around

Weird in a good way

Curiously soulless

Probably worth another listen

Listened to Vol1, that was enough

Difficult one to review objectively, I loved this when I was 14, thought it was important somehow, listening again after a very long time and after RW’s decent into stupidity it’s very hard to like, lots of musical theatre elements and some plain nastiness

Didn’t hate it as much as I thought I would after reading the description

-1 for putting a crap version of back to life on the album

Still don’t really understand with every album from any part of CSNY is on here, had to be there I guess

Curate’s egg, one really long boring song though

French + accordions, agghhh

Gigashite

Revisit

Felt like a long wet Sunday afternoon

The noodling bits are bad enough but the talking bits are just awful

More proof hat technical skill is possibly the least important component of great music

Cookie Monster does spinal tap

Still don’t get it, dull and bland

Oasis tribute band

What on earth did prog-rock think it was progressing towards?

-1 for inventing the hip hop skit

Journey Complete!
