Bro sounds like Barney from the Simpsons in the earlier parts of the album. This was pretty annoying and dude seems like a real POS.

This has GOT to be a joke. One'est one out of five I've ever given and I hope the creator of this list has a really shitty day today. You simply can't seriously justify putting something this shit on a list like this. 522 albums in, it makes me want to stop because its a waste of time. I could have gone my whole life never hearing it. When my worst enemy goes to hell, I hope this is what they have to listen to on repeat. Matter of fact, whoever made this list should listen to this album on repeat if they think it's so fucking great. Maybe then they'll think twice about replacing it with something different, preferably not from the 80s

Just reverb and droning voices that I though was never going to end.

Not even worth the time to write a clever scathing review, couldn't even finish this. It just has no place on a list like this.

Good overall, but would take a few listens to be more familiar with

Brighter than paranoid. Maybe laid foundations for later Zeppelin?

Yellow is great. Other songs were awful. I love chilled out music, but this is totally unengaging

1 star. Chilled out but not engaging or interesting...just sort of droned on. Was waiting for something more energetic and familiar but it never happened, so that was frustrating

Weird AF, but liked it probably more than I shouldve

Boring

Just reverb and droning voices that I though was never going to end.

The title track is ridiculous...like holy shit 14 minutes!? Could've condensed that a little bit don't you think? Had to skip Power of Love, I just couldn't do it. I'm giving this 2 stars, but the most generous 2 stars I've given so far.

miiiiiiiiid

Boring

Dead-ass dad rock. Meh.

80s fuck sakes

Good lord that was awful! Glad they found their sound with the more disco vibe, but that was hard to listen to.

Would give 10 if I could

Good, and I get it's so many peoples favorite, but can't give it 5 because In Rainbows is better. Just isn't as well put together as an album, even if it has some of their best songs.

WHO MADE THIS LIST? WHAT A MESS! This is giving the soundtrack to Michael Scott's Threat Level Midnight. No doubt the guy's talented, and it was mildly amusing but I won't get that hour back....

For someone with a name as cool as Elvis Costello, his music just really falls short. He is the diet pepsi of Joe Strummer, just no piss and vinegar. I finally thought I heard a song I liked off this album, turns out it was just Spotify playing a deep cut Clash song after this album had finished

80's gated toms and cheesy synths ruin everything, they can go fuck off

Not even worth the time to write a clever scathing review, couldn't even finish this. It just has no place on a list like this.

Have obviously heard some of the hits, and as a whole liked the album better than expected. However, I can't give this one more than 3/5 because Use Somebody has to be the most dead, dry, aimlessly written song that somehow radio stations still think people want to hear right now. I've been waiting a long time to say my piece about that fucking song and am glad I finally got a chance to do it

Painful. And not in a good way. Boring. Sounds like dracula took a bunch of quaaludes. I will never trust that anyone could possibly enjoy this. They seem to also be responsible for influencing a lot of shoegazey british droning that came after it, and I really don't understand the draw. Anyone that says they like this has to be just feeling pretentious or something.

Really liked half the songs, but the others went something like this: - Mom, can we listen to Tom Waits? - We have Tom Waits at home. The Tom Waits at home:

Fuck this guy, man. What a prick

So forgettable, why is this on the list. It's not even memorably bad, just so mid..

Great mixing and guitar tones, I love the sound, and I want to like this more but if I hear Black Hole Sun ONE.MORE.TIME on the radio I will pull my hair out. Also, I respect Chris Cornell's vocal talent, I know what he does with his voice is superhuman but does it actually sound....good? Sometimes it seems to be on a spectrum of drunken marblemouth man to screaming banshee. Again, no disrespect but sometimes it kind of reminds me of those awful national anthem renditions where they'll hold the same note for 2 minutes to flex their talent and everyone just eats it up but it's actually really lame and obnoxious. Idk, just my piece.

1,2,3,4 I wanna listen to this album every day. I don't wanna give it less than 5 stars. Total runtime: 2 mins, 1 second. PERFECTION

Pretty annoying honestly. Was hoping for more punk influence, but unfortunately a lot of it reminded me of noisy-ass My Bloody Valentine shit that feels more pretentious than anything else. Idk, maybe it takes a few listens.

Worst one so far holy shit.

WHO MADE THIS LIST

I like to think I have a diverse and accepting taste in music, but this is just peak trash, I have no words. At least I know what I don't like. I'd rather listen to 49 minutes of nails on a chalkboard because at least it would provoke some sort of artistic response but this?? Dude sounds like he'd rather be dead than continue singing! This better be the last time I ever have to listen to this fucking band voluntarily. I can't fathom being so pretentious that you can tell yourself you enjoy this.

Was expecting an instant 1 star when seeing synth pop and 80s, but way more funky than expected. Not sure how quickly I'd come back, but I liked it.

Not my tempo 3.5/5

Better than the last heaping pile of garbage from this band, but still just generic, bland, bad 80's music.

Fuck Morrisey. Also this was so boring.

I've had just about enough of this yapping hound, how many times does he have to be on this fucking list. Influential, I guess, but really I was counting down the songs I had left to listen by the fourth track. Next one from him that comes up is getting a 1/5 just out of spite. You've been warned.

Great cover album, a little white though...

I know this guy's talented, and the songwriting isn't bad, but man I wish 80's production like this could just be wiped from the earth never to be heard again. Honestly takes any existing credibility to a song and just fucks it up once I heard those stupid-ass gated drums and cheesy synths. As other users said, who the fuck thought we'd come back to this and think it was actually well done? Talent like this deserves better, and at this point in this list I've had it with the 80s BS, I'm not playing nice anymore. 1/5.

Hey-yeeeeeaaAH. 5 staaaaaarsAH. 4 stars truly listening back, but it's a classic in my personal catalogue.

Was expecting typical 80s garbage cheese, but this was truly a crime against humanity. Sometimes I think the listmaker is trolling. I mean sure, maybe the list deserves one of these albums for it to be truly diversified and interesting, but how many more of these 80s albums do we really have to sit through?

Talented singer, sure, but reeks of 80's production cheese. At this point, I'm over anything with a gated tom or chincy synth sound.

Bro sounds like Barney from the Simpsons in the earlier parts of the album. This was pretty annoying and dude seems like a real POS.

Thought for sure I'd like it more after reading about all the influences, but didn't really grab my attention. Even with the cool electronic and psych, there was some 90's Oasis stink that wouldn't go away. In the words of the other reviewer who said it best....a bit shit.

A star each for the only two good songs on the record. The rest was typical 80s production cheese.

holy fuck

so bad, honestly why are there three of these albums on here, the first was bad enough.

Dry Toast

No reason to be on this list at all

Typical 80's droning, boring trash. No business being on this list, as usual.

This was ass. Fuck right off.

Sums up every downside of both the 80s and this list. Absolutely painful listen, first one in 447 albums that I couldn't bother to finish.

Wondering who I wronged in the world to get two Happy Mondays albums back to back. This has me feeling bummed out and with a bellyache, and I hope I never have to listen to this god-awful band again.

It was....fine for hair metal, but is this really the album that's going to be the considered the "gold standard" for that era? Really? Somedays, I just don't know with this list...

Just a reminder, when you listen on spotify, it merges a second album as part of this one, but the original is only the first 8 tracks. I would recommend you only listen to those 8 and not subject yourself to 1hr 15mins of this one and move on to the next

Honestly, music wasn't too bad but that song written about the 13 year old really fucked it all up, instant 1/5 and should not have even been considered for this list - didn't finish after that one

Spotify calls this an EP, so I thought cool, at least if it sucks it won’t be very long and then I had to sit THROUGH 55 MINUTES WTF LIKE WHY

rrrrrrrrrrreeeeeaaaaaaaggggghhhh funny af and id be lying if I said I hated it

Not the most enjoyable on a personal level, but undeniably essential to be on this list and surprisingly nostalgic. Love that for me it was sandwiched between two thrash metal albums, really just adds to the contrast, lol

total shit

I made a promise that the next overrated album from this clown that came up on this list would be an immediate 1 star. Absolutely not worthy of more than one album on here, and now we're at what, 4?!? Endless yapping and whining, not memorable at all. A lot of bands in a similar genre and time are great, but every single Elvis Costello song I've heard, even if it starts interesting, turns beige by the 53 second mark. Regardless, this is me keeping my promises. 1/5

whats up with all the fucking growling at the beginning, definitely an unwelcome surprise. This was not good, not as bad as expected though. 2/5. But, we need to account for the Morrisey Multiplier. Fuck Morrisey. 1/5

I didn't think I disliked Van Morrison, but that was really annoying to be honest, needless to say unworthy of this list. Listen to the Lion was grinding my gears. Also, come on man, a fucking live album without Brown Eyed Girl or Moondance, what's the point?

Absolute suffering

This has GOT to be a joke. One'est one out of five I've ever given and I hope the creator of this list has a really shitty day today. You simply can't seriously justify putting something this shit on a list like this. 522 albums in, it makes me want to stop because its a waste of time. I could have gone my whole life never hearing it. When my worst enemy goes to hell, I hope this is what they have to listen to on repeat. Matter of fact, whoever made this list should listen to this album on repeat if they think it's so fucking great. Maybe then they'll think twice about replacing it with something different, preferably not from the 80s

I wanted to like this but good god his voice

fuckin fuck

boring, repetitive and self indulgent. Not sure why i expect more from something that Eric Clapton has had his mits on.

toonerville trolley was stupid af

Holy shit could you be any more fucking obnoxious like lets take the most annoying things from each of these genres and put into any album and if anyone questions it just say you were trying to be funny like fuck off.

Some good individual songs but not nearly as complete and timeless as In Rainbows or Kid A

Atrociously bad, this guy is so annoying...BUT I can't give it a 1 because it gave me a good laugh, and it is somehow still better than so many of the 80s synth pop, British, new wave trash that I've been subjected to with this list.

Shit, Shit, Shit. Shame on anyone that gave this atrocity anything over a one, come on, you can't be serious.
