Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not

Popular Reviews

Nighthawks At The Diner

Tom Waits

5/5

Tom Waits is an all time favorite of mine. I love his bluesy melodies, easily recognizable bass, vivid lyrics and stories. This album has pent of that.

Bad

Michael Jackson

3/5

I liked Thriller better than Bad, but neither were my type of music. I recognize the significance of this album and it's influence on music and culture.

Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not

Arctic Monkeys

5/5

Very much my style of music. I love the punk style and driving guitar and drums. Lyrics and lead vocals are great. Very British.

Music for the Masses

Depeche Mode

5/5

Depeche Mode was a staple of my musical diet in college. I know many of these songs by heart. I will always marvel at the haunting quality of David Gahan's vocals. Their dark lyrics combined with driving synth sound is mesmerizing.

Tres Hombres

ZZ Top

2/5

I liked the music on this album better than their 80's stuff. Too guitar heavy. A lot of elements that I like in other music-- bluesy rock, gritty vocals--doesn't seem to come together in a way that I like it. La Grange, the one song I knew before listening to this entire album, has a better balance of beat and guitar.

Brothers

The Black Keys

5/5

I am a Black Keys fan and am familiar with this album. I can't sit still when it's playing. I love the beats; I love the lyrics and vocals; I love the guitar and bass.

Africa Brasil

Jorge Ben Jor

4/5

Really enjoyed this album. Great beats and vocals.

Highway to Hell

AC/DC

2/5

I'm afraid I have never been a fan of "hard rock" and in trying again, I still don't like it. Highway to Hell will always be kind of fun, but after listening to one song, I'm done.

Twelve Dreams Of Dr. Sardonicus

Spirit

3/5

I never connected with this album, which is a bit of a surprise. 60's/70's rock and alt rock is my groove. I recognize the style and the beats, but it does nothing for me.

Rust In Peace

Megadeth

2/5

I tried. I did. I even like an occasional thrash metal song. But not often and not more than one.

Tapestry

Carole King

4/5

How can you not love Carole King, classic, icon. The songwriting is masterful and the melodies engaging. I could sing so many of these songs by heart.

Ill Communication

Beastie Boys

5/5

Beastie Boys are icons for a reason--and I love them. They were ground breaking in hip-hop, not just because they are white, but also because they fused rap and rock. Their lyrics are fun and novel; their beats are infectious and driving. Love this entire album.

Nighthawks At The Diner

Tom Waits

5/5

Tom Waits is an all time favorite of mine. I love his bluesy melodies, easily recognizable bass, vivid lyrics and stories. This album has pent of that.

Iron Maiden

2/5

Another one I just can't enjoy, no matter how hard I try.

Chicago Transit Authority

Chicago

3/5

This was NOT the Chicago I was expecting. In fact I Googled "Chicago Transit Authority" because I was sure it must be a different band. This was bluesy, catchy, with more depth and complexity than the 80's Chicago I was familiar with- the synth piano, ballad band. This wouldn't be at the top of my playlist, but I enjoyed listening to it.

The Predator

Ice Cube

3/5

I recognize the significance of Ice Cube as an artist and of his music. I even occasionally enjoy his beats, but I'm afraid I'm not a fan of the music, of most of the lyrics.

The Yes Album

Yes

2/5

I got tired of this album very quickly. Instead of feeling timeless, like much of the music from their era, it felt dated and repetitive. All the Lonely People will always resonate, but I don't think I need to listen to the rest of it again.

Apple Venus Volume 1

XTC

2/5

I was a big fan of XTC's 1989 Oranges and Lemons. This didn't have the vibrancy of that album or the sense of originality. I became bored quite quickly.

Songs From The Big Chair

Tears For Fears

4/5

I love Tears for Fears. This album is great.
