As an insufferably pretentious nerd I obviously think this is great

I listened to (a bit of) this on YouTube on an incognito tab because the thought of someone seeing it in my Spotify or internet history was too embarrassing

Rubbish, but short

Thank you to James for only making this half an hour long

Very good, if not really my style

Oh this is some album, if it gets any livelier a funeral's going to break out

piss

A lot of this album is trudging through basically the same track going on for at least a minute too long. But the highs are very high

I listened to (a bit of) this on YouTube on an incognito tab because the thought of someone seeing it in my Spotify or internet history was too embarrassing

Don't know what I think about this, in either a good or bad way

Really good from start to finish

stop pratting about and play some tunes

Box office album from a box office man

if I had an ounce of this man's charisma I'd lead a much better life

Rock & Roll is one of the greatest tracks of all time but none of this gets near to that level. Alternates between quite good, unlistenably crap and just a bit dull. Not bad but not exactly good either

someone tell kiedis to shut up so we can listen to the ones with talent

this is actually less shockingly crap than "finnish glam rock" would suggest, but nowhere near non-crap enough to make me want to try and find the half of the album that isn't on spotify

with apologies to drunk i just couldn't get into this at all

i never realised how much all of those yank parodies of the 1950s weren't joking

something actually (quite) good for once

stop doing standup and sing us a song

At first I thought this was going to be quite good, then it wasn't

Please stop this

Nice but also quite dull

Glorious

Quite good in some places, quite dull in others

Weird but not awful

Fine

Ruuuuuuuubish

Suedehead is great, the rest of it isn't

Still fine, not as good as the other one

Not much of a Beatles head but this was pretty good. I'm sure they'd be thrilled with the endorsement

Enjoy the silence is an all time great, most of the rest of this not so much

Good, but also long

No

That orgy track was weird wasn't it

Great work from the big man

At times I thought this would end up being better than it actually was, but it was still fine

Sounds like an obscure GTA radio station I would enjoy but not seek out

Banger after banger

If this is considered their best album I'd hate to hear their worst

a load of weird crap, then two absolute bangers, then a load more weird crap

Pretty good, but also very repetitive and too long

Fine enough but didn't do much for me

In the morning: great. Everything else: not great

Pretty good!

Good stuff

Belting

Not for me I'm afraid

Decent

The band the Beatles could have been

Fine

They called them 'the only band that matters' for a reason

Lovely stuff

Music is decent but it's far too long and samey

It's fine but it's no am

The best to ever do it

Lovely stuff

Mostly pretty good, occasionally very crap. Thumbs up

Great voice, sad story

meh

It can't keep up the level of the first few tracks, but then what could

Dull

Rubbish, but short

Scrubs air band dot gif

45 minutes of "oh, I recognise this". Lovely stuff

I'd probably like this more after repeat listenings, but I don't like it anywhere near enough to want to listen to it again

Will someone please remember Marcus Garvey for this man

When it's good it's very good, but the highs are relatively few and far between

Good, and as importantly, short

Nooooooo thanks

Objectively good but does absolutely nothing for me.

Irritatingly good, albeit you could take the middle third out and nobody would miss it

Fine. Nothing more, nothing less

It's a classic for a reason

Don't you think your guitars are a bit much?

Some of this is really good, a lot of it is absolute guff

Good weird? Bad weird? No idea, but certainly very weird

This is terrific

There are great bands who never made anything as good as Try Not To Breathe and it just about makes it into the top 5 of this album. Absurd.

Tremendous

Pretty good

Good, if a bit meandering at times

Enjoyed it more than I expected

As an insufferably pretentious nerd I obviously think this is great

Dunno why the wheatus fella thought going to see these would impress that girl

A lot of fun

Here are several fine young men who I'm sure are gonna go far

Faultless

Go back to singing about the tube network

I think I liked some of this? But it's hard to say

He's a weird old fella but the album is pretty good

It's annoying how good they are considering how insufferable they are

A load of absolute guff, and one of the greatest tracks of all time

Good stuff mostly

I liked this less the longer it went on, and the satisfaction cover is criminal

Lip service is great, the rest of it is fine

Weird, but good. But weird

Liked this a lot

Meh

Good

Perfection

Didn't love it, didn't hate it

Turboguff

Solid if unspectacular

Some undeniably huge tunes

Fine but forgettable

Eh

Fine, but doesn't really feature any of their best tracks

Some good, lots of meh

Didn't mind it

Liked this a lot

Great start, less fussed by the rest

Good

Really liked this

Masterpiece

Only one great track, but what a fucking great track

"Not as bad as I was expecting" is the closest I'll ever get to endorsing my dad's taste in music

Sounds very of its time. Not sure if that's good or not

THIS IS MY WORLD, AND I AM WORLD LEADER PRETEND

Good stuff, even if I can only think of the januzaj chant when I hear Starman

Unreal

Fine but forgettable

Just does absolutely nothing for me. Sorry everyone

This veers so frequently and violently between atrocious and class that it's given me whiplash

I liked this!

The "bowwww" just before the second half of Free Bird kicks in may be the single greatest note in music history. The rest of the album is also great

A Stones album that is almost entirety devoid of bangers is weird, but it's still fine

Elite

Thought this was fine, at times better than fine. Equally quite forgettable

Elite pop action

Listenable enough in points but pretty dull

Not my thing but decent enough for what it was

Shite. Fuck off Wiggins

V good

Fine but less interesting than I was expecting

I liked most of this one #insight

Nice enough, but didn't feel like I was missing out not having half the album on Spotify

Enjoyed this

Honking

Not bad, but not for me

Some high highs but mostly bland

Perfectly fine

Yes

I liked it, mostly

Given this has 3 of the great tracks of that era on it I was looking forward to listening to the rest of it. I shouldn't have been, but the Electric Feel remains an all time great

Class

Tremendous

Was alone listening to this and now I want to fuck Wiggins's cat

Liked this

The Swedes 🫡

Red Eyes earns a fairly uneventful album and extra star

Takes me back to my brief spell as a teenage rap head. Terrific

Easy listening but a bit in one ear and out the other

He really does have a stupid voice though doesn't he

Made me feel sleepy. In a good way

Enjoyed this far more than I was expecting. More harmonicas please

Always great to get a reminder of why a massive band became massive in the first place

Levels above the guff we've been served up by this lot before

It's good enough but as ever I'm left wondering why they're quite so venerated

Didn't enjoy it as much as I thought I would but still decent enough

Any danger of a tune at some point mate

This is a lot of fun and makes me think of Fry from Futurama. Lovely

I'm more of a fan of what comes later but this is as good as more pure punk gets. Simply the best band of all time

Starts quite good, ends with one of the worst four-track runs I've ever heard, features one of the worst songs ever committed to tape half way through. Not for me

Fairly inoffensive but very dull

A toe tapper at times but never much more than that

One of the easiest 5*s we'll ever get. The instrumental at the end of Found A Job is as good as it gets

Separate the art from the artist etc but Morrissey being an absolute weapon makes the decision to give this 4 or 5 stars a lot easier

An album of 43 tracks that average 90 seconds each is always going to be weird, but I thought this was mostly fine

I can imagine that if this is your sort of thing it's absolutely incredible. It's not my sort of thing at all and I thought it was fine

Calling this dirge is generous, as is a 2* rating

Something quite fitting about a crowd chanting "JERRY, JERRY, JERRY" at a fella who married his 13 year old cousin. Anyway, this is crap

So much to like about this, also some quite dull filler in the first half

If this just gave us Fela every day I'd be a very happy man

Took a while to decide what I think about this, I can see the appeal but ultimately not for me

Some of the best basslines I've ever heard. Superb

This might be the worst one we've ever had

Certainly funky, certainly not that interesting

Fine as background noise but nothing to grab you

Couple of great tracks, otherwise not much for me

Live albums seldom do anything for me and this is no exception

I spent the entirety of this album looking for the video of Kelsey Grammer introducing him on SNL, and my failure to find it has cast a huge shadow over the whole enterprise

Girlfriend in a coma is wretched guff but the rest of it is pretty good

Enjoyed this. Bad moon rising so good

Easy enough but didn't enjoy it as much as his others

Seemed to be the only one who didn't like them growing up, and I still don't really. But the good tracks are better than I remember them being

I put this on because there was a loud meeting going on next to me. I think I'd have rather listened to the meeting

Crap

It's a bit all over the place and he has a silly voice but it's pretty good

I think it loses its momentum a bit towards the end but otherwise really good

I liked it for the most part

A handful of tunes, an awful lot of crap

Very good!

Yeah fine

Class

*Chief Wiggum voice* JAMMING

Didn't like this at all. Sorry everyone!

You could chuck heart of glass into the worst album on this list and it would make it a solid 4*. Fortunately the rest of this is full of bangers too.

Was fine 20 years ago, is still fine. A high 3 rather than a low 3 but definitely a 3

The hee-hee is undeniably the greatest gimmick in music history

I'm not keen on the general rap album archetype of the time with loads of interludes and skits, but when this is good it's so good

Nice background music

It's fine. Rarely more, rarely less

A good laugh

A very funny first album (along with busted) for a 9 year old who thought every track would be like hey ya to have. But it is very solid, Speakerboxxx is better but TLB has the better tracks.

Not as good as Nevermind but still great

It's good - really good at points - but it's just far too long and there's a lot of nothing in there

Enjoyed this, though the vocals are a bit grating

I liked this less the longer it went on but it's still decent enough

Good stuff from the big cheese

Every track is basically the same, but they're all great

On the good side of alright

Good, but not as good as I was expecting

The two or three good tracks on here are so good that I find myself genuinely angry about how crap the rest of it is

Better than I was expecting but still quite crap, if very iconic. Bonus points for inspiring some bands with actual talent

Couple of duff tracks but otherwise a lot of fun

This is appalling

Occasionally great, mostly average
