All Ratings (755)

Easy listen, Young stands out in a good way

The louder, the better!

amazing, one of my favorites.

Funky jazz, really lived up to my expectations!

obviously a great singer

feels old, but certainly a foundation for future musicians.

hard to get past my dislike for JT in general

Folksy through and through, really liked the last track (Arthur)

interesting, I liked Safesurfer

Wut

Sure was a popular album

Funky!

Morrissey has got to be the most angsty person to ever angst

never heard any of this outside of "Rikki Don't Lose That Number"

impressive debut

Monster

interesting

Brazil you say? Vocals are a bit one note, but otherwise kinda rips.

Not much here beyond Scar Tissue, Otherside & Californication. It also feels pretty dated somehow.

never heard of this band before

these lyrics sure are something. Overall, it is a lot, and feels a bit "kitchen sink" at times.

I didn't like this... at all

that was... something

quite lean (31 minutes!) and straightforward. "Breakdown" & "American Girl" rule.

spooky! "A Forest" was my favorite track.

easy listening

stunning

stolen from another review: Chocolate Starfish is a messy, vulgar piece of work that isn't worth anybody's time but will still be remembered for it's moment.

vibes

Couple hits, otherwise not memorable

yup

Superstition slaps

This Is the Day, obviously. Really enjoyed Uncertain Smile as well.

A Sailor's Life is absolutely my type... really enjoyed this one!

interesting, I guess Industrial rock isn't for me.

one-note

Pretty one note, and full of songs heard pretty frequently.

Cult of Personality rules.

britpop... not exactly my jam

not their best work, but still class

First half: 5 stars Second half: 3 stars Total: 4 stars

the production is good...

Love it

not saying anything new: pretty great!

actually pretty good!

right in my zone

that voice... no thank you!

very chill, not her best work but still decent

My first “who are these guys?!” and a core music memory. Leans a bit Arena Rock but probably their peak.

Perfect for Christmas Day

no thank you

never heard of this band before...

I thought I would enjoy the stroll down memory lane, but once I got passed the two singles that the TRL generation heard ALL THE TIME... it was a dreadful experience.

easy 5 star

how much more BritPop is on this list?

loved this!

already listened twice!

no thank you

It has become obvious that "post-punk" is not for me

I don't understand the hype

not as bad as I was I expecting...

classic

only kind of interesting

probably should have just watched the movie...

Icelandic B-52's is the best description I saw, and I kinda dig it.

a good time

The Asphalt World kinda rules...

really dig the first half...

pure nostalgia

tons of funk

Side one – The Raven is good, the rest can go

kind of bland

superb

I like Young's folk stuff more

Sleepy-time music

punishing repetition...

nice time capsule and historic recording, not exactly my cup of tea

I liked Stillness Is The Move ... otherwise

Nick Cave was a true highlight...

liked this a lot more than Aja

pretty consistent sound

I enjoyed it, not sure I’ll listen ever again though

snooze

Boxcars kinda rules

I'd give this album 6 Stars if I could (6 out of 5)

no thanks

top top album

Fame doing a lot of heavy lifting on this album

last two tracks absolutely carry this album

Old Times Good Times & Go Back Home are standouts

Loved some of the tones on this, but not enough musically for me

Fun but got old

fantastic

Banger

On the back of singles… otherwise forgettable

Down By the River slapped, the rest are forgettable

CLASSIC

Better vocals/lyrics this becomes a 4
