I didn’t realise how many of Coldplay’s hits were on this album. Banger. 8/10

I’ve heard these songs 100 times but they are still fun. I love the riff in breakdown, and of course American Girl is a classic. Short but sweet at 30 minutes. 7/10

I love Bowie but didn’t really connect with track 2 or 3. Album has some lovely passages but some of the songs aren’t good from start to finish. Maybe better on a relisten when I’m not working

Harry rag is fun Situation vacant - nice drum rhythms, weird stop near the end Love me till the sun shines - maybe fav so far Lazy old sun - cool vibes Waterloo sunset also nice but anticlimactic

Not really my jam

Can’t beat some outlaw country. Also the Bob Dylan cover was cool

It is nice to hear Bob Marley songs other than the ones on ‘Legend’. Some really sweet tracks on this, great summer vibes

Has some bangers but the corny tracks that don’t slap can be eye-rolling

Nice jams with some mid cuts mixed in

The sort of album that I think sounds good but does very little for me

No

This album has some great songs, I don’t understand the hate! Million Years Ago is awesome, and it was my first time hearing it

Boring, an album made just because track 1 was a hit and they needed to shift copies

Makes for nice background music, but not many noteworthy tracks on this one

Not my cup of tea but it is very good

I appreciate the cultural impact, has some good songs, but overall it is an average listen 5/10

Just some guys being dudes, hangin out. 7/10

Some weird tracks that are 1-2mins long on this track. Pinball wizard is the standout, 5/10

Good punk jams, can’t say I know much about X or their influence but this was fun. 6/10

Has some nice tracks but overstays its welcome and gets samey 4/10

I thought her voice was a bit odd at first, but it clicked with me pretty quickly. Chamber folk isn’t something I listen to, but I enjoyed this. Fairest of the seasons and title track are both great. 7/10

I had only heard ‘Alright’ prior to listening to the full record. It is great! ‘We’re not supposed to’ is not good, but I enjoyed the rest. 8/10

Pretty fun for 33 minutes. 6/10

This album is good, but I don’t adore it like many do. Maybe I don’t appreciate its importance in music history, idk. 7/10

Good but not that engaging at times. 6/10

I’ve heard this album before and it is great. Love how 80s it is. 8 or 9/10 depending on the day

Yeah it’s the Beatles mate. Probably my favourite Beatles record. 8/10

I feel nothing when I listen to this, but it’s listenable. 4/10

This album has some great rock tracks on it. Muse were so damn cool in the 2000s. 7 or 8/10 depending on my mood

I didn’t realise how many of Coldplay’s hits were on this album. Banger. 8/10

Yeah it is an awesome soundtrack. I feel 3x cooler than I am when I listen to this. 9/10

A relaxing Friday listen. 7/10

Ziggy is better. 6/10

I struggle with any 1hr+ rap album but I did really enjoy this. 7/10 bordering 8

I love Radiohead but have never listened to Hail to the Thief before now. This album is hated in because?? Sure it isn’t the most immediate record, and it has some low energy cuts but it is great. 8/10

Great voice and some nice bluesy jams on this one. 6/10

I’ve heard these songs 100 times but they are still fun. I love the riff in breakdown, and of course American Girl is a classic. Short but sweet at 30 minutes. 7/10

My Girl is peak music. I’ve heard this before, and it was great to revisit. 8/10.

A bit long and some of the songs drag but it is filled with very good to great power pop moments. I wish I first heard this in my teen years. 7/10

It has good songs and was a chill morning listen, but not something I would routinely revisit. 6/10

Not my jam but enjoyed the rhythms on track 2, and I do have respect for making music out of harsh sounds such as these. It is a bit too minimal and raw for me to connect with properly. 4/10

This is a great album, but like most hip hop I listen to I get tired after 40 minutes. An easy listen, and GZA is very smooth with his delivery. Ghostface til I die, but this is still worth the listen. 7/10

I haven’t listened to Ziggy Stardust in about 4 years, and it was lovely to revisit. It’s the most popular Bowie album for a reason. Great stories, awesome songs. 9/10, I need to listen to this more often

I need to listen to this album at 11pm, not 9am. It has late night moody vibes all over it. Heatwaves is the standout track for me on first listen. 7/10

2005 Kanye production with great features from him, and Common is just awesome on this album. I love it. 8/10

I don’t like the album cover or name, and Stereolab isn’t a gripping name either so I have ignored them until now, which is my bad. They are a clear influence on bands from the 00s that I love and I should be more respectful. Album has some chill tunes but it loses me at points. 5/10

Bitter Sweet Symphony is one of my least favourite songs of all time. The reasons I hate it are the same reasons many love it. The two violins playing the same melodramatic phrase over and over and over is so annoying, only to be outmatched by Richard Ashcroft's drab, droning delivery. The first 6 minutes of this album fucking suck. I hate this song and most of that hatred is irrational. Fuck this song fuck it fuckit ahhhhhhhhh So it turns out the The Verve are a pretty good band. The Drugs Don't Work is an excellent song, and I get emotional every time the chorus kicks in. Sonnet, Lucky Man, and The Rolling People are other highlights. Some of the slower points on this album are forgettable. One Day sounds like a song written by the frontman of The Verve's tribute act. That being said it's inoffensive, palatable, and its biggest offense is adding five minutes to the album's length. I think 5/10 is a more appropriate rating based on how I feel about these songs individually, but as an album it is cohesive and very well executed. Ashcroft clearly has great writing chops, and it is a damn shame that I can't tolerate his masterpiece for a single second. 6/10.
