All Mod Cons
The JamClassic the jam. Down at the tube station at midnight is a good song.
Classic the jam. Down at the tube station at midnight is a good song.
Very chill, but not as good as earlier/edgier Beck albums. Decent, but a bit bland, especially compared to Odelay.
Proper good. An unexpected treat. Will be listening again. We like the part where the songs happen.
Inoffensive. A bit samey. Decent, a good battle soundtrack to reading the train sequence of ONe pIEcE.
Good, but can it really be better than a plugged in version? Unlikely. Man Who Sold the World is a good cover, but Bowie reigns supreme.
Maps is a great song, as is Y Control. Otherwise, an unremarkable album. Might take songs from this to add to a playlist, but when listening to the whole album cohesively, the songs don't stand out from one another and it all blurs into one. It does turn this around a little towards the end.
This album doesn't overstay its welcome, going from strength to strength before seeing you out with the smooth Goodnight Ladies for the perfect finish. Perfect Day and Walk on the Wild Side are absolutely brilliant songs.
Atmospheric. Smooth. Sometimes a little bit haunting, other times somewhat peppier. An album that takes you on a journey. A slow burner with 5-star potential, but it's too chill to feel that connection after just a few listens. One to be listening to again.
Most jazz doesn't have much staying power and after a while it starts to get a little dull. However, It's evident why this is considered one of the best jazz albums of all time because we could listen to this all day and not get tired. Feels like a lazy Sunday morning, listening to this. Will absolutely be listening to this some more.
Not ok computer.
Starts off strong with the first song, then loses momentum a little. By The Time I Get to Phoenix is way too long and a bit of a slog to get through. Overall, OK.
A bop. Starts smoother than expected but develops into the ahead-of-its-time 90s style hip hop we anticipated. There's some clever sampling on the tracks, some slightly strange sampling also. Overall, an enjoyable listen.
A classic. Emblematic of 1960s British music, feels like a audio time capsule. Waterloo Sunset is, of course, an absolute tune. Harry Rag another great song. Jaunty but cohesive, keeping you listening the whole way.
Absolute nostalgia trip for Goof, less so for Dork. Should be acknowledged as a hugely pioneering album from grime and full of absolute bops, especially Fix Up Look Sharp.
We were pleasantly surprised when it got better... Only to realise the album had finished. Really not our vibe, though partly because that genre requires you to be in a certain mood and trying to force it was not very successful.
It was good. We liked it.
Like the pixies but not as good
Decent.
Good vibes.
A bop with some unexpected robot voice. Sad lyrics juxtaposed with a cheerful tune.
Pretty good. Surprised to recognise Epic, had no idea it was by Faith No More.
It was good. It has some good songs, others are meh.
Very catchy. Happy just dance with you is a great song. Nevertheless, not one of the top Beatles albums.
Full of bops. Ends stronger than it begins, full of really clever sampling (within some slightly less successful use) and rhythms that make your head bop. Good stuff.
Pretty good. Space junk is especially good, as is the title track
Has some good songs.
Many bops. Symbolic of good 60s albums, lots of really good stuff on here. Some lush instrumentals also. To improve: more prominent mama cass and it would be a five star album (and less of the "dude")
Unrecognisable as Neil Young. Really unenjoyable.
A wall of noise. Literal screaming involved for too long at one point.
It's a classic.
Classic hardcore punk. Some decent stuff on this album.
A vibe, some clever sampling.
Maggie M'Gill is quality. Not the best Doors album but still a good listen.
Chill vibes.
Slightly disappointing album, lots of songs which have been song better by others. Later songs are definitely better than those at the start.
Classic the jam. Down at the tube station at midnight is a good song.
Starts off strong. Not the best ZZ Top album and the rest did blur into one a little, but it was decent.
Misery. A cacophonous wall of torturous sound and I don't hate myself enough to endure it all. Did not finish and listed to rain dogs instead which is a great album 5/5. I especially like tango till they're sore, rain dogs and anywhere I lay my head. I would recommend that anyone who is thinking of listening to this album listen to that one instead.
I struggle to believe there are many live albums that are better than their studio counterparts, and this is definitely not one of them. All their songs sound like various iterations of the Ace of Spades, which is a great song.
Quality.
Full of bops with some clever lyrics about love and heartbreak. An album that took us by surprise: would listen again.
Evidence that 'heavy' has changed, but seminal to the genre. War pigs, Paranoid and Iron Man are excellent songs.
Too much of the skitty interludes.
Lots of long guitary stuff
Pretty good but PSB are more of a single than an album kind of band. Some really good stuff and some pretty meh stuff.
Better than some of her latest stuff. Would listen again
Why are there so many live albums? Great songs but drowned out by audience screams
Best listened loud. Some really good stuff on here, this woman's work is quality especially.
Recognised more than expected and not as ominous as implied. Some decent bops.
There are beasts in this world and there are boys.
Still not OK Computer.
The lead singer sounds uncannily like Rod Stewart!
It was pretty good. I liked some of the songs.
Just not a vibe. Better than justice for all...even if we've somehow ended up rating that one higher.
Another live album, but the boppiest of them all so far with less audience wailing in the background. King's command of the guitar is regal.
Killing me softly is a classic for a reason. A good album, though some of the skits run too long. Mista mista by far the worst song.
Bored after the twentieth b*tch. Express yourself the only redeeming element of this album. 90s hip hop is just significantly superior.
Born to run is an excellent song. Otherwise, a decent album.
Decent. Paul Weller has a good voice.
Full of bops but nosedives at the end into a very unnecessary cover of American Pie.
I am goof and I loved this album it's my favourite and I decided this rating on my own. 4/4 extreme gooDness. Tonight tonight is my favourite as well.
Pretty good.
The best of Guns n' Roses (which is both a positive and negative comment). Lots of their best on this album, making it a decent listen. (Axl Rose is still a deeply unpleasant man, regardless.)
Black Hole Sun is good. The rest is reasonable.
One of his best. Proper good goof demanded it be 5 stars. Stuck inside of mobile with the Memphis blues again is a jam.
A real surprise. Caught out attention from the get-go and maintained it. Will be listening to this again.
Still, still not OK Computer.
Full of Christmas classics.
Better than the first ten seconds suggested. We enjoyed this.
Better than other 90s music of this ilk. Likeable.
The lyrics leave a lot to be desired. Occasionally, there's a decent rhythm. Otherwise, really not good.
It's a good'un.
Bit disappointed in this as it didn't live up to our first experience with Portishead, but there's some decent stuff on this.
The Police are an excellent band but not necessarily an album band; there's a few poorer additions on this. However, there are also many bops and it's a good listen.
Very chill, but not as good as earlier/edgier Beck albums. Decent, but a bit bland, especially compared to Odelay.
Quite chill, we liked it. Would listen again.
Chill, in a variety of ways. Some really smooth, jazzy songs and some very ethereal, atmospheric songs. An unusual album. We enjoyed the tranquility of it, and the way it kept switching up the vibe across the songs.
Sometimes OK but most of the time not. Only listenable when in a specific mood and so doubly hard to listen to in this context.
Smooth, easy listening. Appropriate for almost any mood.
Just quality. Goof liked it as well. Dork enjoys Porpoise Mouth ("even though it's rude and has the word erect in it") and Flying High.
We thought it was Greatland.
Not the best The Clash album but not a bad one. White Riot is a great song.
Quality. Ahead of its time, really good stuff. I used to think this was nowhere near as good as surfer Rosa but now I think they're a lot closer. Probably still prefer surfer Rosa but only by a little bit.
Extremely high four, almost a five. Love it a lot and goof agrees. Ball and chain is quality and so is summertime. (Grrrrr)
Not the best. Bleh.
It was good, but we can't remember the specifics 🤷
One of the best RS albums. Full of top quality songs - Sway is proper good.
Iconic. One of our faves of all time. Some of Bowie's best work. Very enjoyable.
Best of the Beatles solo work. Proper quality. Goof loves it too. Apple scruffs is a jam. A line in I dig love sounds a lot like I love d@ck.
Actually not garbage. Decent stuff. Has some bops. Didn't know they'd sung Stupid Girl. Will probably listen again.
What's with all the hate on the Chillis? They might not be the epitome of lyrical genius, but the songs on this album are bops. We enjoyed.
A great album with a lot of great songs, with the occasional filler.
Not as good as Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness, but still good. Rocket and the song before Rocket where very good.
This album had an important purpose but it's difficult to listen and enjoy because of the instructional elements. Not the sort of album you can put on in the background. A difficult one to rate because it's more of an educational experience than an album you can vibe to. Some parts of the songs were enjoyable, but swiftly interrupted but further instructional segments.
The stand out single is obviously a bop but there are a decent number of really strong tracks as well as that. Not the best indie album of the mid 2000s by any stretch but very solid.
Proper quality, classic 60s psychedelia and honestly I prefer it to their country stuff. Required listening for anyone exploring that era of music
It was an album composed of multiple songs where music was involved as well as lyrics
Don't know what I was expecting going into it but this wasn't it. Genuinely very good might have bumped up to a 4 star given more listens.
Good but, other than psycho killer, not hugely remarkable.
Elements where you start thinking it's not bad and then it derails again. Not for us.
Pretty good.
Full of grooves. Really good stuff. The baby song was very good. Me and Bobby brown also very good.
A cheery affair.
Gold finger by far the worst part of this album. Otherwise, not bad.
Proper good. An unexpected treat. Will be listening again. We like the part where the songs happen.
Good stuff. As good as Teaser and the Firecat. There's one song in the middle which isn't as good, about light ships or long ships or something like that. Either way, an unnecessary addition to an otherwise great album.
A surprising delight. Good vibes. Will be listening again.
Many of the songs were quite good. Good thinks so too
Decent. Sometimes fell prey to 60s experimental issues.
Made for good house spa time. Sounds a bit like dolly parton. Good vibes. Pleasantly surprised.
Peter Gabriel genesis >>>>>>>>>> Phil colins genesis. These are facts and there is to be no discussion. Goof agrees.
Don't get the hate. A great vibe, caliFOURnication 😁
A bop. Would bring out in a party. A few really good songs, some boppy but middling songs. All of her best songs in a convenient location!
Will listen again. Is wassssss goooooood
Decent vibe, better than expected. Secure 3 stars.
I wanted 3 stars but Goof demanded EXTREMELY aggressively! Has some proper good songs on it. Has a couple that are a bit non descript. We are on a coach by the way. To Wakefield
Proper laid back vibe, not necessarily many standout tracks but they flow very well. Quite short but no filler. Still on the coach by the way.
Decent vibe, better than expected. Secure 3 stars.
Full of good noughties bops.
Good but I prefer 2 and 4. Communications breakdown is really good.
Not his best work but some good stuff on here.
A few absolutely excellent songs on here (Brighton Rock, Killer Queen, Now I'm Here) but still not Queen's best work.
Some quality country. Nothing hugely standout on here, but it is all enjoyable.
Some decent stuff on here, though it doesn't feel overly cohesive with the way it dips in and out of different genres. Some decent songs, bit slower than we were expecting.
Lots of classic Billy Joel on this album: Always a Woman, Only the Good Die Young etc. Good stuff.
Cannot get over that this album contains the lime and the coconut song, Without You AND Gotta Get Up. We'd never even heard of Harry Nilsson so this album was a huge surprise. The other songs were not hugely remarkable, but for the audacity of having three such varied but iconic songs on the same album we gave it 4 stars.
Quality Adam and the Ants. All the songs are good and the album is very cohesive: no song feels like filler. We enjoyed this.
Very chill with a slight french vibe. Enjoyable background music.
It was good. Lots of good songs. Some not quite as good. Overall quite good. I enjoyed it. Goof sats the same
Unexpectedly recognisable first track. Everything else we had not heard before, but it made for chill listening.
First half better than the 2nd but it's proper good overall still
Pretty good. A musical feel to it; enjoyable, smooth songs with gritty subject matters.
The 2nd best sonic since the hedgehog. This was a good album, quality 60s rock and roll with some top quality covers of of the classics.
A good 'un. Quality The Who. Behind Blue Eyes is really good. Starts off strong and continues that way.
Better than Imagine.
An iconic, influential song but no one needs to hear it for 26 minutes, even if the guitars did take us by surprise. A good song but not a good album.
Chill but unremarkable.
Some great songs on this. Passenger is really good as is Lust for Life, Some Weird Sin and Fall In Love with Me. Quality stuff.
Very chill with good beats. Stripped back abd smooth, but not too fond of the production on his voice.
A wall of sound with the occasional scream. Important to the metal genre, but not for us.
Fine for a live album, but much less enjoyable than Cash usually is.
Good stuff. We liked. Will listen again.
Would be a 5 star if not for the poor flow and transitioning in some parts of this album, where it sometimes feels unfinished. Carried by a handful of absolutely spectacular songs and a few good ones. Best songs: Come Together and Here Comes the Sun.
The first album we've disagreed on. G: 2/5 D: 4/5 Grunge is not for Goof and this album just felt morose. Dork enjoys. Lots of the songs are good.
Absolutely one of the best albums of all time. Bone loves to rock, yes he does, yes he does.
Not bad for a live, but still quite average. Other than Show Me the Way, no real standout songs.
The first half of this album is very strong with hits like Sound and Vision. Unfortunately, the second half is not as strong.
The Stranglers are great but they're not really an album kind of band. Lots of great songs and lots of filler.
It's just too long. It's a very good album: a lot of thought has been given to the progression and to the transitions between songs. They had a clear vision which they committed to. However, with an hour and a half there are too many songs on here that don't do Pink Floyd justice.
We like the songs. The Father Ted song especially, and Something for the Weekend.
Enjoyable. Very chill.
This is an album that goes beyond just being a collection of songs. Especially enjoyable when listened loud, it's easy to feel surrounded by the experience of this album. The best of Bowie's later work and an excellent send off.
Surprisingly enjoyable but the songs in the latter half of the album are too long and get a little stale. Otherwise, a quirky, warbly album that we enjoyed more than we thought.
California is particularly good. A good album and we like it.
Decent, and well timed as we listened whilst walking round a farm.
I liked it. It was good.
Solid 80s rocks. Enjoyable, More Than a Feeling the obvious banger on this album.
Much more cohesive than other PSB albums. We enjoyed, would be good music to dance to. There are lots of very good songs on here: it starts off strong and keeps coming back.
It's clear from looking at the lyrics and reading more about this album that it was important. Unfortunately, we managed to not notice anything about those lyrics until the final song and our impression is that it was a decent, standard punk album. Maybe we'll pay more attention and listen again, but it feels like a decent 3 star album to us.
Quite enjoyable. The upbeat, dancey vibe does not convey the serious circumstances of the album.
It was ok. Don't quite get the hype.
An album of many vibes. Some good songs, but very disjointed due to the way it skipped round genres and some songs have not aged particularly well. A Brimful of Asher is an excellent song, regardless, and Corner shop are an interesting group.
Started off very strongly but lost momentum as it went on. Imagine was not great, but there were some other good bops on here that made us want to dance.
This has been an exciting revelation about Carol King and her contributions to the industry. Song after song we recognised, despite not having heard of her before. After some research, it's clear she was a musical giant and we will be listening again.
Quite good. An album that is evocative of a certain period in time and of a certain generation.
Ahead of it's time. Chill, yet somehow boppy at the same time.
Enjoyable but started to grate towards the end. Lynn's fixation on cheating doesn't make for an overly exciting album.
Not Dylan at his best. Some good songs but mostly songs that were largely unenjoyable. Make You Feel My Love made particularly poor listening. 5 minutes+ for Lovesick was not necessary.
Intrigued by the first listen and convinced by the second listen. A really interesting album; we will be exploring PJ Harvey more.
It is very good. Lots of good songs. God Only Knows is very good, as are some of the lesser known Beach Boys songs on these albums. Overall, very good.
The titular song is just an absolutely brilliant one. Not listened to the full album before but definitely will again; we really enjoyed it.
