Underwhelming, pleasant, rambling. I liked song 3 (one woman?) Best
Very good, bits of final fantasy x and vangelis' blade runner but with a beat. Listened again immediately to 2009 remaster which sounded better but maybe just poor quality first time.
Beautiful, funky, occasionally gritty. Particularly liked "all in love is fair". Only high expectations prevented a top rating.
Sometimes pretty but ultimately forgettable.
This was great, I found myself toe tapping along despite jazz not being my thing. Thoroughly enjoyable. Need to listen again in different settings\moods.
Not as twee as I expected. Pleasant, melodic, catchy, dated.
Some catchy guitar riffs and lyrics. As a northerner I appreciate the accent and dialect but to me the vernacular turn of phrase used throughout made this seem like a Viz comic rather than musical record.
Very pleasant. This was nicely melodic, well produced and regularly sidestepped my expectations
I thought I would love this after the opening bars of "people hold on" but ultimately got most satisfaction from hearing all the samples best known elsewhere.
I had never heard of the Youngbloods before I listened to this album and I really liked it. I probably won't remember many moments from the album but I did feel happiness whilst it played.
I loved this. Right up my street. Listened through again immediately, and will dive deeper into Neu back catalog.
Not quite as enjoyable as I remember, still good.
I am not the target demographic for this record, I'm sure it would have been better if I were in a club looking for action.
Best song for me was Cry me a River, which is a sentence I never thought I would write.
Not a fan, something about the vocal tremolo just puts me right off
Very eclectic in genres but somehow it all fits together.
I was surprised how refreshingly edgy the lyrics are by modern sensibilities.
Not quite "so bad that it's good" but maybe "so long that it's short" as I had to really force myself to carry on. Anyone who listens beyond "Love is like jazz" must be persuing some sort of vendetta against themselves.
A loud and thrilling ride. I personally enjoyed the quieter sections very much.
No doubt Bob had a great voice, and the songs are well performed but I feel very underwhelmed.
This was sonically pretty interesting at times, but something about the performative bravado in rap lyrics often leaves the impression of overcompensation.
Not my favourite genre, but I did enjoy Feargul's vibrato vocals despite usually disliking such delivery. Teenage Kicks is a great song.
I can't get past the feeling that I'm in a large empty underground carpark with the (perfectly capable) band set up in a small alcove 200 feet away and some heavy industrial cutting tools working between us. I guess that at least makes this record evocative.
Very enjoyable, Jarvis Cocker's vocals add a lot of warmth.
Sounded surprisingly modern in places.
Maybe not as catchy as back to black, but thoroughly enjoyable and clearly very accomplished.
No doubt this is musically very good but I cannot get past my dislike for Robert Plant's vocal delivery.
This felt a bit like a smarmy French dignitary was chatting up my wife at a dinner party.
I would have loved these songs had I listened to them at the right time in life, as it is this is a very pleasant album to me that I have no attachment to. Maybe future listens will add context.
Instantly add gravitas to any song by getting Johnny Cash to cover it. I almost look forward to the AI generated pained versions of Whigfield's Saturday Night et al.
Sounds incredible. It didn't really move me in any meaningful way but subsequent listens may change this, or it might just not be my cup of tea. Has to be scored highly due to fantastic arrangement/production.
Not my bag but I quite enjoyed the instrumentation. I could really like this band given the right song
I don't think anything comes close to Karma Chameleon but still a pleasant listen.
