Heard it several times already. I like it more than the average Radiohead fan, as I think it’s unfair to consider it as a load of Kid A cast-offs. It lacks the same through-line in the tracklisting, but many of the songs are excellent on their own terms, even if Thom Yorke pushes it a little too far with the artificial manipulation of his vocals.
Favourite track: Life In A Glasshouse
Drivel, hard to find any redeeming features. Soft, inoffensive folk that feels like it was written purely for BBC Radio 2. I can see why some people might like it, as it’s a very good attempt at what it’s trying to be, but I hate what it’s trying to be.
Loads of fun and it sounds great. Early metal mixed with a little bit of prog and a lot of groove. Warra rhythm section dat was den
john paul jones <333 john bonham <333 robert plant <333 the other other i guess <3
Not exactly my usual listening, but quite enjoyable. Will probably listen again every now and then, and will check out his other stuff
Is it their best ever? Is it the best rock album ever? Is it the best album ever?
It’s really good.
Very well produced marriage of pop music and genuine, from-the-heart songwriting. Really cool!
Good production and she’s very talented, maybe it’s more than three stars but I was ever so sleepy when I was listening to it. Will probably put it on again in the office soon.
Even better than I remember, another Doors album with surprisingly killer bass work.
Good stripped back rock sound that no doubt influenced subsequent records like AM. Suffers from being 15 minutes too long, and some of the songs getting used in adverts
Good individual songs, but not enough to sustain an album. You can see why they were (and still are) so popular though
Lol (Morrissey is annoying)
I THINK it’s really good, an interesting spin on the early shoegaze craft. Will need to listen with better headphones though
Maybe it’s three stars, maybe it’s five. I couldn’t tell because my new headphones are a crock
Ridiculous, 14 songs in 29 minutes and they all sound exactly the same. So much fun
Really good, and some great variety in there. A couple songs are duds but that’s all part of the fun
Great listen, even if it is obvious they didn’t have enough material to fill an album
Good, quite Talking Heads-ish. Some enjoyable tracks but not really my scene
Not bad, not great. Probably blew people’s heads off back in 1975, but just feels unavoidably mediocre now. Sound like they’d be fun live though!
Excellent, and probably light years ahead of its time. Haven’t listened to Side B yet though as I am too sleepy
Cool music, very evil sounding :)
Really good, poppy but punky but groovy. I REALLY need to get better headphones
Hmm. I don’t think I’ll ever listen to any of this ever again
Really fun, really camp, a cool place for glam rock to go in 1977
Nice to listen to in the background, good beats and good rhythm
Cool mix of Latin American music and 60s psychedelic garage rock, quite Hendrixy as well
Liked it before, liked it now, seems like an odd criticism but maybe too loud?? Knights Of Cydonia goes stupid hard as always
Hip hop? Jazz? Ambient? All three??? Will be very good on a night shift
Cool, folk but with a tiny bit of funk (nice bass work)
Will need to listen again I think, sounded miles better once I put it through a different speaker
Goes like a train. Shame he’s a massive weirdo because WHAT a worker
Live album! In a prison! There is no better genre
Can’t lie I don’t really remember it. It was fine (I think), “trip-hop” just doesn’t grab me
Pretty cool, has that 80s Aerosmith sound but deviates into new and interesting areas to keep it fresh for the whole album. Nicely constructed!
Very very Springsteeny. He’s never been my scene but he’s on form here and that’s fun to listen to.
Lovely, really good, I’m Neil Youngpilled baby
Bleep bloop, bleep bleep blorp, I’m just not sure there’s any need
Dunno really, bit all over the place and the 10 minutes of scatological humour really dragged it down
Really liked it, would listen to more Arcade Fire but I expect they’ll show up again on here at some point. Shame it’s too long. Why do they keep doing this.
