OK songs but again, an album of it is too much. Can’t imagine a mood to be in where an album of this would be a welcome distraction.
Hadn’t realised just how good this would be. Great from start to finish.
Don’t imagine they got much money for this.
Sadly dated, but see why it’s here.
Is Eric Clapton the guy that started droney whinging? I think he must be after listening to this. Some nice guitar now and again but nothing to save the whining.
Awesome.
The last few songs are a poor reward for trudging through an album that is as dreary and droning as it is long.
Great start, promising middle, grating finish.
Nice background music, be happy with this accompanying my flat white and slice of cake.
This is one of those albums I bought because of one song and instantly regretted because even the album version of that song was re-edited as pretentious self-indulgent tripe.
Well that was disappointing. I thought Neil Young was supposed to be good. Nice bit of guitar work now and then to break up the whinging about drugs.
70’s bedroom rock. Meh.
OK. Bit of fun, some good ‘uns there. What does Bez do?
Plunky-plunky, twangy-wangy, moanie-droney waste of time. Nice voices but why do that with them?
Oh dear. Bit boring. I know Jimi Hendrix did awesome songs but these as an album. Meh.
Now this is how you do a depressing album. Consistency and don’t change the mood. Whoever bought this would have done so because of a single song hoping the rest would reflect a similar mood and they do! In the right frame of mind this would be spot on.
Oo, most of that was pretty fun!
It’s Duran Duran. All sound the same so if you like the double D it’s a good album.
Not familiar with the band but of it’s time and not bad to listen to as an album.
Hmm, ok. I could listen again but not gonna rush to get it on my playlist.
Started well then became a mosh mash that felt like it would be annoying to listen to on repeat. Loved the bluesy bits.
Well, looks lyke I’m a Lynyrd Skynyrd fan! Really enjoyed that as an album and as individual songs.
Dreary ‘feel good’ Americana.
Thought I was going to enjoy this but it worked hard to disappoint.
Nice consistent album. Would go so far as to say I really enjoyed it and would listen again. This is an album that can be listened to as a single experience.
Just like yesterday’s Talking Heads album this just worked as a whole compilation. Don’t know if, after one listen, it was trying to tell a story but it was coherent & consistent.
Oh. Thought that would have been better given all the hype. Still it had Riders On The Storm.
Is Eric Clapton the guy that started droney whinging? I think he must be after listening to this. Some nice guitar now and again but nothing to save the whining.
Loved it. Bit dated but oomphy.
Yay, something eclectic. Not my thing but nice to get some different sounds. Would be lovely playing in the background whilst receiving a massage.
Yeah, that was good!
That was good fun! I enjoyed that. Lively and vibrant.
Had it’s moments but think it sent me to sleep at one point.
Of it’s time and ok. Better than many of that era.
Interesting format and potentially educational (not sure I can get my Western brain round understanding the lesson). Could listen to the music all day because of its pleasant fluid forms.
Good stuff. Bit of joy, bit of protest, lot of talent & greatness.
Had trouble staying awake during this one
Great stuff. Lively, energetic & fun.
Go Kate go!
Boring. But quality.
Generally these songs would be ok if they popped up in my playlist occasionally but not a whole album. Innocuous synthy stuff.
Good solid album.
Some surprisingly very grown up songs on here. Changes - Awesome. The rest a spectrum of slow drone to beauty.
Yeah, give this a wide berth! I had to check whether ‘Kool Keith’ was a 12 year old boy, in which case some of it would have been impressive, but sadly not.
Important because of its message(s) but not great music.
Nice but not as good as I imagined it would be.
If someone’s gonna sing me show tunes let it be Ella. Just wish I was a fan of show tunes out of the context of shows.
I need more bongo!
Bit shouty
Another album I imagined would have been better. Masters of the mope but maybe I’m just note in the market for moping.
OK, easy listening.
Poor deity fearing Americana.
Around the Bend’s a classic, the rest didn’t drive me there.
Good big noise, urban folk.
Nothing wrong with a bit of Rundies in a play list but as an album it got a bit repetitive and samey.
Noise. Sorry, listened to it twice cos I couldn’t remember enough about it first time to rate it and it would appear the same thing happened second time.
Enjoyed that, some nice surprises.
Like me a bit of Marvin Gaye but not sure if these were remixed or ‘cleaned’ up versions but didn’t seem to have the right sound quality, maybe it was the visualiser videos affecting my perception. Still good stuff though.
Lots of energy, meaningful songs. Not my cup of tea necessarily but good album.
OK songs but again, an album of it is too much. Can’t imagine a mood to be in where an album of this would be a welcome distraction.
Good stuff on here, I’d forgot I like a bit o’ fiddy.
Humpty promising & catchy. The rest, nah.
Distilled beautiful simplicity.
The music had its moments, the half whispered lyrics just got a bit too tiresome.
Not a fan of the sorrowful male voice but I imagine if someone had bought this because they’d heard and liked one of the songs they wouldn’t regret it.
Did I really have to listen to that before I die? It couldn’t have waited till after? Boring pretentious shite.
Generally good fun, not quite as good as I’d hoped when I saw it pop up but yep.
Started fun, then got weird but not good weird sadly.
Preferred the faster ones but generally some high quality coun’ry in there.
Another one of them ‘had it’s moments’ albums but he’s no Red Sovine.
That was a pleasant listen. Can’t say anything leapt out but it was consistent and palatable.
I was expecting something better than this. Great clean vocals but obviously targeted at ‘my-life-is-the-most-important-pipe-of-poop’ teenage girls distressing about the tiniest slight on a daily basis.
Meh. Listened to it, not offensive or unpleasant, just did nothing for me
Idyllic. A lovely place to be…
Good stuff, think I was a fully qualified lounge lizard by the end though.
Very Cyndi Lauper.
Nice slow song in there but the rest didn’t float my boat.
What a nice surprise - so much richer and varied than the singles that I was aware of. Starting to understand why people are fans.
Over produced shouting. Not unwelcome in a playlist but tiresome after three or four in a row.
Generally good stuff with a couple of classics.
More shouty music.
These grooves are a bit too smooth for me. OK in small doses but two or three songs in and your teeth start to itch a bit.
Some fun stuff on here. Happy for any of these to pop up in a playlist but not gonna miss them as an album.
Oh joy. More angst shoutiness.
Quirky. Couple of classics in there Days, VGPS but the rest started to feel after a while that they were trying too hard to be weird. Got to being hard work to listen to.
Good, lively stuff that’d be nice popping up in a playlist now and again.
Smoooooth…
Very Bob Dylan.
Nice easy happy-to-have-on-without-listening music.
OKish.
Promising start then monotonous twanging.
Some nice surprises but it’s only Depeche Mode with that weird front man.
More twangy monotony, why have I got to listen to so much tedious strumming before I die?
Wow. I knew of Iggy Pop but hadn’t associated him with so many iconic songs. Really enjoyed that!
Sounds like school kids trying to pick a genre in their garage.
This was a nice listen. Some of it reminded me of early Queen…
Nice bit of variety, bit baleful on the singing but ok.
That’s how you do sad & lonely man songs, not with whiny voices and mopey lyrics but with heart and soul. Pretty sure the first songs about an early morning wank though.
Aretha giving it what for and killing it.
Not a bad bunch of drunk pub singer songs. Probably worth another listen if I get the chance…
Good stuff, definitely wouldn’t be ‘band’ from my playlist.
I didn’t realise how old these Christmas classics were.
Amazing voice, great songs.
Well that was fun. Bit different.
Growly shouty music just the wrong side of tolerable for a few tracks.
Sounds just like you’d expect songs by a band called Steely Dan would.
Oh, what a shame. This was boring and tedious, real struggle to get through it.
Some catchy stuff in there but the rest seemed like self-indulgent tripe.
Good stuff. High quality end to end.
Painful clanking with occasional respites. Other than that ok.
Someone needs to calm down and take a throat lozenge. Sounds like Animal from the Muppets stubbing his toe and falling down stairs.
Bliss. Pure quality
Mr Cohen, you are welcome in my playlist, but just pop by occasionally cos too much of you gets on my tits apparently.
No.
Good coarse fun, of its time.
Good stuff. Could probably listen on repeat.
Whingey shite.
Sorry Bob, not my cup of tea.
I’d heard of them, but couldn’t have named a song they did however nice sound welcome in my random play list any time.
Genius. Sublime. Slightly different set of songs from what I was expecting.
Bit same-y but ok to drop in now & again.
Not as bad as I thought it would be.
Good stuff. Can pop up in my play list if it likes.
Lovely stuff. Sublime voice.
OK but nothing special.
Lovely chilled out songs. Just not sure what setting I personally would enjoy listening to the whole album.
Good stuff.
Bit tedious. Think the vocalist needs to smile when he sings
Expected this to be better.
Lots of energy. Bit samey
What is going on? Wasn’t expecting to find this one tedious, maybe there’s been too many rock bands in this list lately…
Interesting sound, very American, heavy on the religion but generally listenable for its quirkiness.
Definitely maybe? Definitely not! Leave this crap for the sheep.
Wow, wow, wow!!!
Good variety of songs each welcome in my playlist just not all together.
Good stuff. Any and all welcome in my playlist but don’t need an album of it.
Wow. That was so much more than I thought it would be.
When it’s good it’s ok, when it’s not it’s meh.
Good eclectic mix of sounds there all arranged around some unnecessary political intros but good none the same.
Enjoyable but was expecting more oomph.
A prayer to the whinging man. Some aren’t bad songs but that lead singer turns them into wet farts.
Good enough.
Very chilled & relaxing without being tedious or boring. Enjoyed that.
OK. Better when there were no vocals.
Non-exciting rock stuff
DB doing what he does
Really enjoyed this - need some more VU in my life. How to do a soft male voice without whinging!!!
Not bad. Not gonna make it onto my playlist but nice enough.
Good stuff, plenty of variety and oomph but still SIIS.
Of it’s time but I liked it, mostly.
Understand why it’s in this list but not a fan.
Again pleasantly surprised. The Stones are better when they sound less Jaggery.
Started off strong but find I can’t particularly remember much of the rest of it.
Did nothing for me.
Distinctive and very listenable just not as an album, gets a bit samey after a while. Good to add to a random playlist.
Struggled with this. Feels like it needs more than a day to get fully into it. Good sound but unsettling melody/rhythm that warrants more effort than a single run through…
Oo, that was good. Lots of energy and depth of sounds.
Good innocuous stuff, easy listening, easy to forget.
Transported me to warmer climes (or on some occasions, a lift).
OK but anticipated better fo some reason.
Bit too nasal on the vocals. OK songs.
Nice bit of metal.
OK.
Poor.
Generally good stuff
I like music that doesn’t take itself too seriously but this got tiresome very quickly.
Quality songs and arrangements. Just that unfortunate voice.
Chilled sounds, strong messages
More than a feeling - great. The rest seem like the same song.
Great stuff.
Was OK. Quirkier than I expected.
Nice. Ended all too quickly.
Quite catchy Americana but too ooky for me.
That’s the way to do a soft male voice without sounding like he’s whinging (take note Coldplay and friends). Not to my taste but bearable quality.
Yes. Good stuff Roddy boy. Nicely acoustic & pared back. Of it’s time in places but that’s what music does.
This was pretty good, a nice listen.
Nearly missed this but got it manually and glad I did. Lots of oomph & energy
Not bad. Not great.
Good stuff, nice chilled but chunky listen.
Bloody marvellous - could listen to it all day, every day if I had to.
Quite a nice listen. Surprised
I forget how good these guys were at the peak of their powers.
All classics.
All pretty good (songs from before Sting crawled up his own jacksy)
Not that great, not sure why.
Busy day yesterday, catching up four albums. This was not as good as expected, probably a bit dated thematically and sound wise.
Bit dated but then some really good bits.
Sadly dated, but see why it’s here.
Think I’d need to listen to this a lot more to be able to differentiate the tracks and derive any real enjoyment of what’s going on. Probably won’t though.
Lots going on, generally pretty good.
More Chemical Brothers? Good stuff but really?
It doesn’t get much better. Great tunes, great music.
Welcome to twang town. Very Starsky & Hutch (original series).
Meh.
Didn’t realise Once In A Lifetime was a Talking Heads song. Rest was OK too.
Some good stuff there but also some dross. Not gonna rush out to get more.
Lots of good stuff on here. Welcome to bumble around my playlist but not gonna chase it.
Always liked their sound
Great stuff. Lovely clean vocals. Bit kookie but in a good way.
Bloody hell that was good. Had me break dancing in the garden and I’m fat & 55 with nosy neighbours!
OK but a bit wishy-washy for me
Nah Nah Nah. Got nothing.
Had its moments. Struck me this might have been an influence for Bjork as I heard her kookiness and cadence a few times.
Still can’t see what all the fuss was about. OK but nothing great. Maybe everything before was worse…?
Some strong songs but maybe because this was the platinum version with videos it all got a bit long winded and self-indulgent.
If this was playing in a stuck lift I’d be happy to wait to be rescued.
Generally enjoyable soft but quirky songs.
Lovely soft sound but no awesomeness.
Great stuff as always Mr B.
Oo that was gooood.
I really should get back into this Metal gear. Solid.
Overrated drivel.
Found this quite unremarkable, nothing jumped out as a good piece of music. Surprising.
Think I’ve said it before - I think I could listen only to Nina for the rest of my life and never get bored…
Played this yesterday morning and honestly can’t remember a thing about it other than the sensation of why is this on the list?
Very R.E.M.
Think this was about as good as they got.
That was good stuff. Lots of energy.
OK. Some classics on there but the guy makes my skin crawl.
One of the cool things about this list is you get to hear where great songs come from.
Not a fan but there’s no disputing there’s some good quality here and this album seems to have the majority of their ‘good ones’ as far as I can recall.
Was excited when this popped up, maybe my mood was off, but it did little
W T actual F. Had to pause this and look at the Wiki to see if it was some sort of joke. Sounds like the sound track to every low budget 90s sci-fi movie.
Quite subdued for a Metallica album it seemed.
Pretty damn awesome from the first twang to the last chord but didn’t overly enjoy.
Very PSB.
Sounded like the same song played at slightly different speeds. Road noise with potholes of depth to make the journey eventful if not enjoyable.
Never been a fan, still not but starting the week with Smack My Bitch Up was a talking point if nothing else.
Obvious quality and many of my friends are fans but not my cup of tea.
Most of it quirkier than expected. Reminiscent of some of the lighter early Queen stuff…
I was hoping this might help me ‘get’ Nick Cave but still not there yet. OK is best I can do…
Another one of it’s time. OK.
Enjoyed some of this, quite conceptual in parts
OK. Don’t need to hear it again.
Usual Liverdull fayre.
Thought I was going to enjoy that but just got bored very quickly. :(
Good stuff, up & down but quality.
Listened to this 24 hours ago and can’t remember anything but a whiny voice. (Haven’t had one of them for a while)
Alright’s alright. The rest, meh.
Did nothing.
Well that was fun and lively.
Fun.
Oo a bit of Slade. Noddy’s rasp got a bit too grating after a few songs in but then seemed to soften.
These guys keep surprising me with a much softer aesthetic than I expect from their hits. All pretty good.
Good stuff. Nice background music to life. Nothing remarkable stood out but happy to have it playing.
Nice.
Sounded like they couldn’t really be arsed.
Fun rock, not disappointed when it ended.
Why? Yes he has an amazing voice and talent that shines through in buckets but surely the production should respect that at least a little.
Didn’t do much for me.
More Neil Young thingy story telling? No ta.
Nah.
Overly busy nasal monotony.
Not a sound I enjoy.
Very unrememberable.
Lot’s of depth there. Forgot how good these fellas were.
A bloke with an annoying voice talking over okayish guitar sounds.
Good bit of raging.
Sadly, this got boring very quickly.
Well that was painfully wishy-washy and pointless.
Quite liked this. Had a bit of variety to the songs.
Nah. Nothing there for me
Oh, that was disappointing.
I can see why this lot have die hard fans - lots going on there.
I like JC but haven’t we had an almost identical album before?
Powerful but not as good as I remember it.
No ta. Drone drone drone. Wah-w-wah.
Nope.
Life’s too short for this vanilla tripe
OK but not the great album I was expecting. Maybe I’m going off music?
Very Elvis Costello.
Less very Elvis Costello.
New to me. An interesting sound, will listen to more…
That was consistently good. Nice surprise.
First experience of these guys they were supporting act for a Pogues gig. Been a closet fan ever since (on the day they were better than the Pogues)
Who knew? Turns out I’m a The Killers fan.
Good stuff
Very unremarkable.
David Bowie moaning and whining again. Oh joy.
Had it’s moments but didn’t seem committed to them.
Long dose of nothingness.
All rather pleasant. Even ‘er indoors who normally doesn’t cope with music said so.
Was ok but was expecting it to be ‘more’.
Catchy stuff.
Awesome start but rest of songs a bit flat by comparison. Hell of a voice though
Bland.
I was aware of these guys but not how many big ‘uns they had.
I didn’t know they could get even more droney but apparently they did. And WTF!? Run For Your Life.
Pleasant enough.
’nice blues.
Bit of gentle listening.
Well, there we go - it turns out I’m definitely a Rolling Stones fan.
Torture. Took actual effort to tolerate this. And wasn’t worth it in the slightest.
Thought I was a bit of a fan but rapidly less so…
How was that an important album?
Consistent but not samey. Not particularly my sounds but could listen all day…
Quality.
Not particularly notable.
So so. Probably wouldn’t press skip.
Some great dance tracks floating in a confused mess of sounds.
Apparently much better without the Gees. Quirky but worth another listen, maybe?
Mr Whine gets on the list again. Mr Why?
This seemed more tolerable as background music than other offerings that have cropped up so far on this list…
Very listenable and atmospheric, didn’t realise they sang some of those.
Never been much of a fan. Still not.
Just some more DB.
Good solid easy listening. Seemed a better quality YouTube experience. Long.
Lively & fun but meh.
Cool dance music cluttered with cacophonic nonsense.
Lively, quite enjoyed that.
Started ok then settled for droning over vol-ish rock.
Preferred this to the White Stripes stuff.
Nope.
Not as good as I thought it was going to be. Nothing to draw you in.
Very Latino. Great voice.
DOLLY! the acceptable face of the US!!!!
Meh.
Quite enjoyed it while pottering in the garden - led to some aggressive weeding.
As I get older I’m more a fan of his earlier stuff, maybe just that nostalgic sense of a time gone by…
Sounds like a box of instruments falling down an escalator.
Loungy.
Ok I guess.
Hard work getting through the whole album.
The French language seems to suit this style of music, not sure where/when I’d want to be listening to this album though.
Wide vocal range but boring.
The Crazy Horse led songs are ok.
Good stuff.
As American as it gets.
I like music that doesn’t take itself too seriously but what the actual duck was that!?
Radiohead stuff, seemed like a lacklustre attempt to recreate past successes.
Didn’t do much for me. Quite flat. Of it’s time I guess.
Of it’s time I guess but didn’t talk to me the way I thought it used to.
Some of their big ‘uns on here.
Flatter than I remember them.
Great music, dated sensibilities.
Immature mysogonist moaning about being rich. Not badly, some tracks really good but whole listing too long.
Really well structured songs with a unique sound andsome great storytelling that brings on memories of growing up. Oh, it looks like I’m gonna be hitting the five stars rating… yep, here I go.
A good listen
Some classics but a very dated sound.
Lot’s of catchy stuff but nothing to rock my world.
Never heard of these but a good sound with lots of energy.
Never heard of these but a good sound with lots of energy. (Same review I wrote for yesterday’s)
Dusty!
Better than some of their other offerings on this list (if memory serves, may be wrong)
How did he make those songs boring?
Good stuff. Come on Eileen!
Funky but nah.
Don’t imagine they got much money for this.
Lazy Sunday Afternoon is a classic. The rest of the album less so. You’d be seriously annoyed if you bought this based on that one song.
Am I going off music or something? This had its moments but should it really be here?
That was good.
Nice late 20th C sound. Mellow but quirky.
He’s the boss but just more of the same
Must be pre-the boss. Miserable.
Cool.
Alright in small doses i.e. singles, not albums.
Good stuff. Why had I forgotten the Fugees?
What an awesome hour that was.
Dated banal lyrics trying to be the beatles (no caps).
Not worth the effort.
All great quality stuff, the sophistication and creativity above and beyond. Would be 5 star but not a sound that does it for me.
A distinctive sound that still works.
Quickly got very grating, voice felt forced and wtf did he do to Phantom 309?
Good stuff. I like it when a band with an established, defined fan base plays with their sound, maybe opening up new genres to their fans…
Self indulgent whining tripe.
Really enjoyed that. Beginning to think I’m just a Country boy at heart…
Expected to enjoy that more but something felt ‘off’ about the sound or rhythm that didn’t chime well with me.
OK but too long.
A nice sound, an album of it too much but sprinkled on a playlist all songs welcome.
Not unpleasant but not to my liking.
Some noisy oiks abusing guitars and drums…
Very Blur-y, quality Brit pop.
Lots of energy, not to my taste but a lively listen.
Not my new favourite band.
This is epic stuff with a lot of variety.
Surprising. May listen to that again just for the clever word play.
Nothingness.
Never quite got Morrisey. Clever lyrics but too morose.
If this was on in a long lift (elevator) I’d expect to be in a passionate kiss by the end of it.
Great movie, great backing track but not really cutting it as an album.
Some good stuff, some not so. Solid album.
Never really got into them but that was ok.
Meh, inoffensive.
Couldn’t they decide who was going to be the lead singer?
Good chill sounds, make me feel fine.
Just a bunch of sad nothingness.
Rap. Ok rap but not great rap.
Nah. Dated.
Massively overproduced but some quality there.
Listened to this yesterday morning and can’t for the life of me remember it. Didn’t hate it.
Good music & lyrics but that voice? When it was mellowed it was great, rest of the time like running your ears down a cheese grater.
Seemed flatter than other PSB albums I recall from back in the day.
Incredible number of listens on YouTube. It’s solid stuff but don’t understand why…
Nice album cover. Good music but not as good as I remember it, starting to think there’s something up with my memory…
Bit bland but ok.
Smoooooooooooooooth.
These are great when they pop up in a playlist but after two or three back to back sound like whinging nerds.
Ok, but a whole album again is too much NIN.
Solid sound well done.
Nice variety
Good noise.
Well it was definitely funky.
Nice.
Did they steel Reward from another band?
Quality. Think this is the best one of his album’s I’ve heard on here so far…
Tedious tripe.
Hadn’t realised just how good this would be. Great from start to finish.
Brilliant. (That was a surprise)
I remember more richness to those songs. Still an original sound though.
Folking hell.
One, maybe two BS albums in the top 1001 but this is getting ridiculous.
An astonishing voice seeing what she can do with it. Hits the mark a good half the time.
Sounds like they were enjoying themselves, bit of a Summer-y vibe but don’t need to hear it again.
Nope. Nothing. Nada.
More plinking on guitars. How important is that art form actually?
Yeezus, more overproduced noise. Kanye rest.
Lively and invigorating transforming to clanky and grating after a while of listening.
More to it than I expected when I saw who it was.
Hmmm, like the MG sound but some of the sentiments are rather outdated and maybe even uncomfortable to the modern ear.
Don’t know what has the largest calluses, the guitarists’ fingers or the vocalist’s vocal cords. Still, strangely listenable.
Competent.
These guys were ahead of the curve in their day!
Nice sound, but seemed like variations on a theme.
Poor.
OK at best.
Bit too country.
Meat is murder but it is also delicious.
Good stuff. Biggest result of this all is that I now like the Stones.
Awful twaddle.
Ok fun album. Seem to recall gifting this on cassette to my 12 year old sister who gave it back to me unopened on my birthday 2 days later.
Pleasant enough.
I like quirky but this wasn’t fun.
That was a good sound and fun. Not sure I’ve ever heard these before.
Well I thought Grateful Dead were a heavy metal band, not a mediocre folksy troupe.
This is pretty timeless if you like those atmospheric mood music tracks that don’t go anywhere but leave you a bit trancelike.
Not the sound I was expecting from the band name and album artwork. Very innocuous sound, meh.
Wow. Did she write all the classic songs?
Good stuff, quality sound.
Background music for a 90’s retro internet cafe.
Prefer my LC a bit perkier than this dour batch.
Pleasant jazz.
Didn’t need to stream this one (but I did) some good stuff on here but not sure if that’s just nostalgia for an old sound. Better than that Beatles shite.
Awesome all classics!
Not as good as the album title.
Any album with la Freak is great.
Classic Madness tracks. Quality.
Bit too much piano for me. Pleasant enough though if you just want some background music.
Great for a late night drive with the top down.
Bland.
Lively, quirky sound. Welcome to pop up in my play list now and again.
Oh. I thought this was gonna be better. Very shallow & flat.
All quality songs, better than his Wham! days.
It works, why change it?
Pleasant enough sound.
Good fun.
Sounds like people trying to work out what to do with a synthesiser but not quite getting there.
Loved it. Could have this as the backing track to my life. No idea what he’s singing about though.
Ok but monotonous as an album.
Innocuous ploof.
Meh.
Nothing exciting.
Not as bad as the Stereophonics.
Same song over and over again with occasional bobbing above the line into good.
Bland but listenable.
OK.
Trying too hard to be quirky with the wordplay. Gets boring quickly.
Well, that’s 42 minutes I’ll never get back.
Oh. Was excited about this but didn’t deliver. Don’t really know why.
Of it’s time.
Flatter than expected. Did nothing.
Interesting sound, some work, others a bit forced but overall I like it.
Quality.
Surprisingly dated but listenable.
Another meh fest.
That’s how you play an electric organ!
Powerful voice and great retro energy.
Not a sound I enjoy but a complete sound.
It’s Bob Dylan so generally pretty good.
Singing words at different speeds over the same music.
Hey hey!
Happy to drive the mean streets with this on the go.
It is good quality but you only need to listen to one song.
Listenable not watchable.
I’d forgotten I quite liked Suede back in the day.
Well that was fun and quirky. But got to be a bit hard work by the end.
The usual S & G fayre.
Is what it is.
Always wished I could get into this type of music but it just sounds like noise.
NC2U one of the most emotionally charged songs ever. The rest a pleasant sounding mess.
Bit too heavy on the ernestness for me
Great chilled stuff.
Twangy nothingness.
Funky.
I bought this album after it came out - never worked out whether it was pretentious or good.
When American boys reach 13 and decide this is peak maturity… yawn.
After the banality of Limp Bizkit yesterday this was a welcome relief
Rock for meditating to.
Can’t imagine a setting I could be arsed to listen to any more of this characterless tripe.
Super cool. Could listen all day.
More blandness.
Powerful but dated.
Unplugged brings a relaxed soft richness to the tracks
Quite good fun.
Thank you you Beautiful Freaks, I’ll be back to listen to more Eels.
Classic. One of the first albums I bought.
Nice sound, may investigate more.
Back to the monotone whingers. Joy.
Joni.
Nice bit of Americana.
Awesome. Could listen on repeat all day long.
The better quality end of thingy male vocals.
Happy to have the odd one of these in my playlist now and again.
Didn’t gel with me.
Good energy but not sure…
A classic.
Messy & confused. So bang on point!
OK wasn’t able to hear much of it as not available on link.
I like the energy.
All good. And upbeat.
Good stuff if you like the BD sound.
Just the right side of this type of metal to be listenable as an album.
I can maybe understand the inclusion of one Tom Waits’ album in this list but this is getting painful now.
Nice blend of American music styles
Never heard of them but first listen quite enjoyable.
I think these guys reached peak at Creep. After that just whinging.
Enough going on there to be ok even if most sounded the same.

Great voice. But so slooowww, kept sending me to sleep, lucky I didn’t listen to this while driving.
Dull.
Didn’t ‘get’ Prince first time around but there’s some depth there
