It was pretty good, not my scene. Real funky at times but very 90’s. 8/10

At first you love it but it all gets a bit samey by the time you get 3/4’s through. Still an enjoyable listen in moderation.

Incredible Album. Got that Zappa Flair from the get go.

Stories from the City, Stories from the Sea, Stories I’d be happy to go without hearing again

It’s like a private performance from your Uncle’s favourite band, an easy and cosy listen.

Reeks of “take me seriously now that I’m no longer a part of Take That”. Saying that, it’s actually a pretty good album. Still won’t take him seriously though.

From the bawdy opening number to the cordial closer. Welcome to the Pleasuredome is a journey masquerading as a double album that leaves you breathless as it rockets through its track listing.

A timeless album that wouldn’t sound out of place in the years proceeding it. R.E.M nailed their sound from the very beginning.

I can’t seem to find the words for this album. Maybe this is a product of its time, preaching to the youth of the 90’s. Maybe it’s the overwhelming sound they produce. Maybe it’s the bias from the Gallagher Brothers inevitable falling out and impressive feats of being C*nts. Maybe it’s the fact that you can visually identify a diehard Oasis fan from how much of a moron they are. Maybe I can find the words to describe the general ambivalence towards this album. Yes, definitely maybe.

This was an album whose ideas formed two tribes, Brian Eno with experiments and synthesisers and Bryan Ferry’s glam rock direction and almost crooner-like style of vocal delivery. These two tribes fight with each other yearning for a split that was ultimately delivered after this album. These two distinct styles both did and did not work well together and that’s what makes this album incredible. The general unease of it all regarding subject matter, themes and instrumentation makes for a fascinating and unique listen that must be undertaken by anyone who considers themselves “into their music” at least once in their respective lives.

I was blown away by the complexity of the arrangements, the variety of samples and the sheer joy and elation that emanates from this album from beginning to end.

It would be a good album to be getting absolutely shitfaced to but once you peer between the lines it’s then you realise the album isn’t that much beyond surface level Punk Rock.

It was like having your Dad sit you down and proceed to tell you stories about his life. It was a very intimate affair.

There’s a Song for every Advert imaginable. An Ad Man’s wet dream.

Couldn’t help but feel it was miserably uplifting. Great album all round.

I don’t speak Portuguese but if I did I’m sure I’d enjoy the album more than I already do. Or maybe its charm comes from the fact I don’t speak Portuguese. Anyways.

This is what people think of when they think of Punk. It has the attitude people expect and want from it.

Dance Mania? Dance Mania. Makes you want to dance from the very first beat down to the last!

Don’t know enough to be entirely critical but I think this is considered a good album. Talented for sure!

This was actually a pretty enjoyable album. Great guitar work!

Y’know what? This is a very good album. Well crafted bangers and not a detail missed or a corner cut.

I imagine this is what a Musical Theatre Kid’s favourite album sounds like.

Pop so chewy it’s almost tiring.

An interesting listen that’s for sure. I want to say it’s like the Velvet Underground & Nico but just from the 80’s.

Average Rock. By the time it actually gets interesting, the album’s over.

Punk Rock with enough texture and variety to more than deserve a 21 piece tracklist.

This album was phenomenally good, I was blown away by the composition and depth present in each song. I will definitely be listening to this again!

Same song 10 times over.

An incredible album from start to finish with heart, soul and gripping guitar work

Solid Album. Will very much listen to again.

It’s a good album, I’ll say that much

Y’know what? I really enjoyed this album. Once I got past the Vocals that is.

A real unique and interesting listen. Quite the surprise!

This album failed to capture my interests. That is all.

Thumping and bumping all through the night. Incredible album.

I mean, I’ll be honest, its merit lies in its lyrics. That’s where the album shines.

I love the fun and the fury that this album gives off. Great fun listening to this record!

What can I say other than it’s filled with back to back Smooth Radio classics

If I had to choose, this would be the album I’d choose to have my jaw swinging to.

I mean, it was alright. A bit incomprehensible at times.

Couldn’t find anything of note here.

This was… something else! I loved the album all the way through. None of the songs overstayed their welcome and had a nice charm across the whole album.

Fun little Jazz album. Enjoyable listen

Well, he is after all known as the “King of Rock ‘n’ Roll”. Music was different back in the 1950’s and it’s evident Elvis set the world on fire with this record, even though it could be seen as boring by contemporary standards.

A lovely album similar to David Crosby (also a former band member of The Byrds) and his album “If only I could remember my name”. Both highly rated albums!

If you can get past the Album cover then you’re in for a good listen. I don’t know, there’s something about the album cover that just puts me off. This isn’t “1001 Album covers you must see before you die” after all.

I loved this album. I never did like Bob Dylan on account of his vocal style but over time it’s grown on me. His talent as a poet and songwriter is truly incredible and it shows.

To sum up in one word: “Atmospheric”.

Great album, that’s all I’ll say.

A rough and tumble band creates their finest album that’s two parts punk and one part new wave. What’s not to love?

Pleasantly surprised by this album seeing as it’s not in my particular field of taste.

Fantastic Album that’s known as the benchmark for testing out Hi-Fi Systems due to its incredible production and coordinated, tight arrangements.

Pretty neat. Humorous lyrics and thumping beats.

I mean, it’s GOOD but the albums only get better from here!

It’s alright I guess. Nothing exceptional. It’s a good Rod Stewart album by Rod Stewart standards.

It’s weird but good at the same time

48:13 seconds of just French Noises.

It was thumping, bumping and I couldn’t get enough of it

Good Ol’ Hip Hop doing its thing out here

A bit too alternative for me. Didn’t appeal to me. I can appreciate it for what it is but it’s not my style.

It’s some good world music

It was alright, felt it was a bit bloated at an hours length

Although this isn’t totally up my street, I can appreciate that it’s a great album.

It was alright I guess. Gave me an REM feel about it but with a lot less fun

Can’t deny that this album was fantastically produced with talented vocals and lush arrangements. I mean, I won’t listen to it again but whatever.

It’s not what I expected that’s for sure. It’s a very thoughtful and intimate album. Will be listening to again.

Nothing else I can say other than this album will exceed every expectation you may or may not have

This shit slaps hard

I really enjoyed this album more than I thought I would

What can be viewed as irritating due in part to Lauper’s vocals at the beginning, by the end of the album you see it as an album to have a bit of fun to.

Thumping great time

A kind and soft affair. It’s very own private concert.

It was a surprisingly fun album. Would listen to again.

Iconic.

Not my favourite, it has its highs and lows but all in all a fantastic album all round.

Wild, imaginative and unique for not containing guitar in a guitar heavy, late 60’s era. I love it.

Great Album, lots of fun to listen to. Sounds like a lot of fun to make too!

Funky Worldbeats. Can’t argue against it.

Classic Album, though out of the Electric Trilogy I prefer “Highway 61 Revisited” more.

I enjoyed this album a lot more than I thought I would. I may enjoy Californication a bit more though.

It’s a good album. Pleasantly surprised to discover the band formed in Edinburgh, Scotland!

A roaring great time hosted by the Lizard King himself, Jim Morrison, before his untimely death.

I mean, it’s a good punk album.

Pain.

A lovely album, a nice calm listen. Pleasantly surprised.

Y’know. I liked the beats on offer here. And I’m not usually into Dance stuff.

A Fun Christmas album with iconic renditions of iconic Christmas songs

Nervous and revolutionary. It makes for uncomfortable listening in the best way. The 1st half is the beat to a perfect frenzy, the 2nd half is introspective and eye opening. I can’t rate this highly enough. Beyond 5 Stars.

I had no idea what was going on at any moment, L’Amourir and Pas Mal slaps though.

Kudos to the person who mixed this, just massive amounts of noise to comprehend. Had its moments though.

I mean, it’s alright. A bit samey, Mrs Robinson was a highlight though.

As they say, I had “Good Times”.

I never understood Janis Joplin before this. No closer to understanding after this.

I remember when I was a kid thinking this is what a proper rockstar is. After listening to this, I was wrong.

A High 3. That is all.

Great stuff. Nice to chill out to or get some work done.

I’ll give it 3 for merit on its sampling but overall wasn’t too keen on the album.

It’s a very good album. Solid tracks and excellent musicianship.

This album was influential at the ages of 19-20, just as I got my driving licence. Still as influential to me today (25) as it was 5-6 years ago.

Fairly average. Not my scene but it might be yours!

Reeking of sadness and personal directionless, Neil Young really poured his heart out on this album.

It’s alright, early signs of that troubling Kanye arrogance.

Astonishing piece of art.

This is a quintessential Country album to listen to. Show the naysayers this album and they’ll soon turn around and be more open of Country!

Revolutionary in all the best ways.

It was good, that’s all I’ll say.

Really surprised by how much I enjoyed this album.

Man this album absolutely rocks!

I’m sure for those who truly love Blue’s, they will love and rate this album 4 or 5 stars. Everyone else will rate it 3 or below. Since I am everyone else; 3 stars.

Essential listening for any Punk enthusiast!

Important to note that this album would be revolutionary in 1974. Unfortunately I’m not here to rate revolutionary practices (it would be a 4) though it does inform my overall rating. At the end of the day, most of it is down to personal enjoyment. Might not be my thing but might be yours!

All I can associate this album with is X Factor 2006 Christmas Number 1.

Funky Stuff. Though the Album cover is somewhat unsettling.

Plagued with sadness and misery, this is a standout album of the Post-Punk era

An enjoyable, intimate listen.

Quite surprised by how quirky and down to Earth this album was.

Engaging and interesting throughout!

Good Ol’ Irish fun, lots of familiar tracks on here.

I wanted to like it, but aside from 3 standout tracks (I shot the Sheriff, Let it Grow and Mainline Florida), there really wasn’t much here for me to enjoy.

On the weaker side of their discography but more than worth the listen!

It’s a good album. Out of the 4 self titled albums, is it the best? No. #Melt4Life

Excellent example of Brazilian Jazz!

Excellent album, Gordon Gano sounds very similar to Tom Verlaine (of Television) but both bands couldn’t sound any more different!

Now THIS is some easy listening funk and soul! Perfect album to just chill out to.

Groundbreaking album that would form the foundations of Brian Eno’s solo career and inspire countless other musicians

The follow-up album to the wildly successful “Harvest”, Neil Young clearly presents himself here as an alienated individual who didn’t know what to do with himself atop the pedestal
