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

Popular Reviews

Haunted Dancehall

The Sabres Of Paradise

1/5

This type of British electronic synth garbage is way over-represented on this list. Most of the tracks on this piece of shit album are just random noises. An hour I'd love to have back to listen to something worthwhile.

Very strange album, not really to my taste. I don't really get it

damn, this is much better than I expected. A couple of real bangers - and I generally don't like hip-hop.

Trip down memory lane - I bought this album when it came out, listened for about a year, then moved on and never really listened again until now. Songs are better than I remembered, though I'm still not crazy about nu-metal. Cure for the Itch doesn't really fit the rest of the album

Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret

Soft Cell

Cosmo's Factory

Creedence Clearwater Revival

5/5

Excellent album. Nice swampy-bluesy sound. I recognized many of the songs as radio hits, and the ones which were new to me were also fantastic.

Giant Steps

The Boo Radleys

2/5

Nothing super interesting - I found this album to be bland and generic. Most of them dragged on far too long, as did the entire album.

Too many christian themes for my taste, though the music itself was pretty good.

Murmur

R.E.M.

3/5

Entertaining enough to listen to. Good rhythm guitar work. Didn't recognize any of the songs.

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

Arctic Monkeys

5/5

This one really surprised me! I'd heard of Arctic Monkeys, but never really gave them a serious listen. The instruments and lyrics were fun to listen to.

What a boring album. Very dull, no real excitement in any of the songs.

Bad Company

5/5

Solid classic rock.

The Velvet Underground

4/5

Pretty good. Dragged on towards the end, especially murder mystery which didn't seem to fit.

The Atomic Mr Basie

Count Basie & His Orchestra

5/5

Strangeways, Here We Come

The Smiths

4/5

Easy enough to listen to. Good album to have on at work.

Mothership Connection

Parliament

4/5

The funk, the whole funk, and nothing but the funk. Was a fun listen, but the songs all seemed to be about the subject of funk itself, with no other content. They weren't really about anything other than funk itself, how funky the band perceive itself to be, and how they are delivering funk to the audience. Still, it was enjoyable enough to listen to, and I'd relisten if the mood struck.

Blood And Chocolate

Elvis Costello & The Attractions

4/5

Group Sex

Circle Jerks

4/5

Fun intro to hardcore punk. Short and two the point, a great quick listen.

Two Dancers

Wild Beasts

1/5

Terrible. Dislike the lyrics, melodies, instrumentation, and the voices of the vocalists. No redeeming qualities at all.

(What's The Story) Morning Glory

Oasis

5/5

Very good album - lots of recognizable hits, but the whole album is solid. Good dynamic between heavier and softer songs, good songwritting, and just well done overall. Anyway, here's Wonderwall.

Enjoyed it, but found the little "skits" they did at the end of each song to be kind of stupid.

Pink Moon

Nick Drake

2/5

Generic playing, and sounded like he was getting some buzzes on his guitar in several of the songs. Didn't love it.

The Scream

Siouxsie And The Banshees

2/5

Surfer Rosa

Pixies

3/5

Heaven Or Las Vegas

Cocteau Twins

2/5

Didn't enjoy this - couldn't tell what language they were siniging in, and all of the songs were overly surreal sounding and dreamy for my taste. That said, the songs were actually songs and were musical, which ranks this album far higher than many of the albums in this list. Some of which are just random assortments of noises.

More electronic stuff I have no interest in. There were actually melodies and chord changes, so ranks slightly higher than the rest of this genre.

More electronic stuff. Not too interested in this genre, but this album was acceptable as background noise while working. Meh.

The Sensational Alex Harvey Band

4/5

Some good classic rock riffs and grooves in this album. Lyrics are a little bit ridiculous for most songs (as if Steel Panther released an album in the 70s), but rock shouldn't take itself too seriously. I enjoyed listening to this one.

Tres Hombres

ZZ Top

5/5

Solid rocker with some real bangers.

Excellent album. This one, Killers, and Number of the Beast are all perfect.
