I love the Tom Waits slow vibe on this album. The tracks are musically different and Tom just can't help be a story teller. Ace stuff!
So simple and engaging. I'm sure it's a sheep in wolf's clothing.
Dynamic and interesting album. Repeated listens are rewarded. Not exactly sure what they are singing about all of the time!
I don't think this is peak David. There are a couple of memorable tracks but the rest are just competent. For Bowie completists.
This is an eclectic record. 21st century 'White Album' perhaps? Certainly the two artists represented by the two 'CD' track listings felt they could do whatever they wanted no matter how crazy it was or what the other thought, I assume. Some catchy stuff and OK raps I suppose. I'll give it another listen but it runs over two hours already. I haven't got a favourite disc.
Was this the origin of muzak? Or did they just contribute? Either way it's an unexciting ride.
I enjoyed this one! Great energy and performances.
Pretty good rock album. Some big hits and only 1 obvious filler track. Doesn't overstay its welcome at 39 minutes. Nice full orchestra track to conclude the album.
Some killer. Some filler. Not my favourite Blur album. Peak Britpop Blur are this and the next album. They get a bit weirder later in the decade which I prefer.
I listened to this album three times so you don't have to. (standard 3 track release).
Still has the strong classic Beach Boys vibe but with less cars and more girls. I will listen again.
I listened to the 14 track edition on Apple Music. This is a pretty rockin' live album. It's got an 'everybody solo!' vibe but the songs are good. I'm familiar with the most popular tracks and there are a few well executed covers. Well recorded at Leeds University, might have to make it a music mecca some time! Could do without some of the chit chat though, which I believe isn't in the original 1970 release.
Awesome stuff. Can never not enjoy this album
Pleasant. Mild. Nice. Pretty. Wears a cardigan and hides behind fringes.
Doesn't Stank.
I was 15 when this album came out. I had no idea the album versions of the 3 singles were so much longer! A pretty cool record.
Great tunes! Always something new to hear each time. Sounds great, hasn't aged.
I love these sort of crazy everything but the kitchen sink albums. One of the best.
I listened to this one quite a bit back in the day. It has four great songs, a couple of decent other ones, and then much noodling and sonic mis-adventures. I still like it though.
What a great combination of singer songwriters and performers. Good tunes all interesting to listen to and possibly sing along with. A classic of its time and informative of what influence it had on the future.
The sounds on this album remind me of the 2003 Blur album, which came after this. More rapping on this one though! I like Damon's and Blur's music a lot!
This is a cool record. Brash and loud. Modern psych rock?
This album was huge when I was a teenager. I certainly heard the big hits hundreds of times but this is the first time I've listened to the album. It's a grower and I appreciated it more on the 3rd listen. As an album it is good with most tracks being interesting even if you can't sing and dance to them as much as the hits.
not my kind of scene baby.
Amazing drumming. Not too sure about the dual vocalists. Pick one? Heavy but not Helium!
I love this album, side A is perfect and side B is pretty good. Macca at his best.
Love this album. Inventive musicians playing great songs with Smart lyrics.
I enjoyed this more than I thought I would. It's good and I don't mind Morrissey's lyrics.
I love the Tom Waits slow vibe on this album. The tracks are musically different and Tom just can't help be a story teller. Ace stuff!
Ray sounds great. Not much of a fan of the choral style backing vocals. Good songs.
Repetitive.
Reminds me of McCartney I, pleasant, sometimes surprising and fun.
I listened to the 1997 Iggy Pop remix and the Bowie mix. The Bowie mix certainly hides how loose some of the performances are but the Pop mix is the superior mix. As for the album, appropriately named and exciting to listen to. Worth the time of any guitar rock lover.
Immediately listenable with 'fun' lyrics. Pretty good really!
Holds up to repeated listening. Great beats and rhythms. Scratching not annoying or ridiculous. One for the ages.
It's an interesting listen like many mid 1960's albums. Cool sounds and grooves. I suppose the lyrical content is a bit more unusual than similar era fare, buying drugs, sadomasochism, etc. I do prefer Lou over Nico though. Rolling Stones fans should enjoy it.
Half good songs. Half lame funk rap. Just buy a greatest hits to avoid the dross.
This is a great rock album. Adds to the canon and still feels exciting and vital today. A classic.
Good background grooves. Didn't listen to the words.
This is a great listen all round. Worth your time and repeated listens
Whistful. Great to doze off to.
Empty repetitive jams. Boring. "No future" for John Lydon after the Pistols.
Sweet tunes. but not sickly sweet.
Lots to absorb here. Probably would have helped if I was 22, directionless, and needed a friend in Billy. Sounds great and a good reflection of mid 90s rock.
It's sorta fun!
This is a good debut album. Sounds great. Good songs, lyrics decent, vocals great. Variety of soft and harder rocking tunes.
Enjoyable listen. The type of laid back country tinged rock that existed, before wall-of-sound country arrived a few years later and urbanised the genre. Great.
Did they have pogo'ing back in 1969? That's what I'd be doing!
This is much better than I anticipated. Beautiful singing and music. The raps are tolerable! Probably peak RnB for the two decades surrounding it's release.
This is very listening for non-rap lover, in comparison to most of the stuff that I've heard anyway. Good interesting rhymes. Nice use of profanity!
Good riffs. Dumb lyrics. DP for everyone!
This album is lyrically interesting and the music suitably dramatic and interesting. A pretty good intro to Alice Cooper (the band).
I love the Beatles but I had never listened to this mainly because I thought it would all sound like My Sweet Lord. Thankfully it does not. George wrote some strong and thoughtful tracks and the musicians he surrounded himself with are excellent. Even the Bob Dylan song is a good one!
Pleasantly engaging.
A random bunch of tunes performed well. Don't get the classic status.
Hasn't aged as badly as you might think.
A handful a great tracks where they next level their Blues origins and some OK ones which are saved by Robert's vocals. A decent listen.
Pretty cool album. The flute was less overwhelming than I had feared. Certainly, worth your time if you like slightly off kilter British rock from the early seventies. Good guitar sounds. I listened to the 2016 remaster.
Charming.
Awesome. Timeless.
Good.
I love wall of guitars sound though occasionally the solos get overwhelmed. Always good to hear a couple of male voices out front.
Catchy rock album!
This is better than you might assume. Don't let the overplayed Smoke on the Water (good lyrics) delay your listening!
Pleasant folky listening. Nick sings it well and plays great.
Modern pop music. Sung in English and French. Good
I like the drumming.
...and justice for Jason. This album sounds bad. I feel asleep on the bus listening to it.
This is a groovy record with mostly singing and little rapping. Easy to get into, worth a listen.
Elliott Smith is the best! I'm and XO fan but this is also great.
I like dancing but the sounds are just so dated I don’t even feel nostalgic.
Great album!
Great jams on this one. Vocal free too.
Another band i missed when I was listening to music from the early 90's. This is a good one for sure.
Not a particularly exciting album. A couple of good songs which make the remainder sound like filler. And the remastered edition is stupidity bright!
I was 10 when this album was released so it fell through the listening cracks I suppose, but wow it is good. Everything about it is wonderful. The sound, feel, lyrics, performances, mixing, and the rest. Love it.
The album sounds original. probably because it is.
The lyrics are actually good and thoughtful. The music has a date on it but is still good enough to hold up to fresh ears.
Is it dense noise or masked groove rock? Get into it.
The Blues. Gin. Hendricks/x. 5 stars.
I don't think this is peak David. There are a couple of memorable tracks but the rest are just competent. For Bowie completists.
This laid back country rock is great.
Enjoyable tracks with some structure and groove, not as alien as you might assume.
I like this type of modern rock music. Good!
This is a consistently good album. Varied in instrumentation and pace. Good singing by what's his name too! Hasn't really aged, or feel of its time, even though it's 22 years old.
I listened to the 2022 remix album. Sounds good, not much bottom end. Oh, wrong review style. Yeah, some good songs on here and always nice to hear some non-rock instruments played fast and effectively.
A strong album that any pop music lover should enjoy. Michael sings excellently but some of the sounds do date the production. Good.
Artless stuff. The music, cover and name. No taste.
a good blues set.
The Kinks are real story tellers on this album. The lyrics are just as important as the musicianship, and all together makes a excellent listen. There is only one well known track on this album but you won't be disappointed with any of the songs. Great stuff from the mid-60's!
Peak grunge. Excellent
I enjoyed this jazz record. Yep.
One of those every all killer no filler albums. a pop gem.
This album is super eclectic! I've listened to it many times over 30 years and do enjoy it because it is ridiculous. Great!
Pleasant.
I think Wilco are a great band, one of the greatest. And this album is beautiful.
Cool music. I love the feel of this. Don't understand a word though!
So simple and engaging. I'm sure it's a sheep in wolf's clothing.
A tuneful album by Bob standards. Great lyrics.
Probably their most accessible album. Packed with great songs, jams, guitars and the kitchen sink.
A very tight live performance, recorded well.
Great. Before gangsta everything was good in the world.
nice electronica. happy to listen more than once.
somewhere between a headliner and a foot note. ok pop'n roll.
You can smell the incense!
Good!
Another strong set of songs from CCR.
fun!
This is a great double album. Needs 2 or 3 listens though!
I'm sure Limp Bizkit fans would love it.
Good musicians. Creative.
Enjoyable, self-deprecating, rock. Good.
Dolly sings well, not too much vibrato. Lovely tunes.
Janis is a great singer and the band are also tight! Worth your time if you are into vocal performance.
Cubic Zirconia life.
Otis is a great singer and he picked some great songs to cover and interpret. The band is also excellent.
Kinks can do no wrong in my eyes!
Competent Blues Rock.
Sounds like beautiful chaos. I discovered this band when Nirvana did the Unplugged set, which included 3 songs from this album. I can get why Kurt liked them.
Nice music.
a cool album with good pop songs.
I love Fiona's voice.
it's fine. good porn lyrics!
what a great sounding album! worth of repeated listens.
Pleasant cleaning music.
Great songs from beginning to end. Bono's vox were great and the music is stimulating. Top record.
Cool stuff. Too cool for you!
I love this record. The male point of view on all aspects of love! Fun and twisted and sad and happy. Great!
...and now where are my Jam records? Ah! Just at hand.
Makes me sleepy.
Solid debut album! Good performances of good blues tunes.
This is my favourite Beatles album. The songs are forever interesting to listen to and the instruments varied and well chosen for each track.
Such a great listen. Headphones material.
This is a favourite of mine from the early 90s. I like it more than Out of Time. Weird themes and great sounds.
yeah, I love this album. Rough and ready tunes, never boring.
Nice manic punk rock done well.
Nice. Probably like the city of the same name too. Very Nice.
I little bit plodding compared to future releases. Mid.
Probably their most listenable release. Good, not great.
I love Dusty's voice, it is amazing. So much depth and sexy. Some famous songs and song writers on this album and the musicians are A grade.
Tedious. Hookless. Affected vocals. Please don't. I can't.
Good. except for the horns and strings. could have done without them.
topically heavy.
I really enjoy this album. It's like every flavour of ice cream with the bonus you never feel sick or tired of having it.
This is great listening. Good songs well interpreted.
Tops the first album! Great rock music. Classic.
The Oasis boys hit hard on their first album and it's a good listen if you like guitar rock. It has aged well since it was released in the early 90's. Not a timeless album but a strong one.
At least 'colour' is spelt correctly. 2 stars for that.
This is an eclectic album of rock songs. The sort of music that gives you faith in the industry to release something original and challenging from time to time.
this is a fun listen without the usual gangstas, hoes, or bitches you might expect. Thank you!
I've had too many whiskeys and cokes. didn't have any cigarettes though.
I love this album. Catchy songs with interesting story lyrics. Very English!
my ears are bleeding blue. the world is a great place.
Nicely funky and they bothered to write some lyrics you could learn and sing a long to. Might get it out at a party some time in the future.
Nice beats. I occasionally heard the word 'fuck'. I wasn't offended.
I wish i was at this gig.
enjoyable listen.
Dynamic and interesting album. Repeated listens are rewarded. Not exactly sure what they are singing about all of the time!
Musak
It's not for me.
Lot's of drama music and singing here. It's pretty good!
Some great classic 60's era songs on here and an album you can listen to from start to finish. Not much filler, maybe Whiskey Bar qualifies, but great debut.
I really enjoy the diversity of songs and sounds on the album, along with the excellent singing of course.
It's OK I guess. I'm not a Phil Spector fan boy. Dion sings well.
i likey the crazy.
I enjoyed listening to this while watering the garden and later while eating a beef burger.
It's the bed confined wounded that worry me.
Pretty harmless stuff.
Yeah! The drums, huge! Love this sounds and the songs.
I like the production, very raw compared to Nevermind but the songs are strong.
An interesting listen but gets a bit repetitive after a while. My favourite of theirs though.
Enjoyable listen.
A great Stones album and a great rock album! Worthy of this list.
Not as musically catchy as previous albums but the lyrics are great!
Good rock album with a variety of feels and sounds. One of Jack's best.
good bob, good.
gotta love Axel's snarl on this record. Rockin' tunes for sure. heads above anything else released that year.
My dog is dry humping the cat. Make it stop Marvin, make it stop!
So over the top it's amazing. Maximum bombast and drama with guitars and piano. And the vocals!
