People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm

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

Ladies And Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space

Popular Reviews

Very obnoxious, would give it one star but I know its very influential

Absolute banger

Great album. Only marking it down to four star because there isn’t much variety and I swear two songs reuse the same drum line

For some reason, even though they are quintessential rock, and I'm a big fan of rock music, I find Foo Fighters incredibly boring. I feel bad because I know they're not a bad band. I feel like they're like the average of all the rock music in the 90's, which in theory sounds good but you actually just end up with something uninspiring (to me!)

1-Star Albums (6)

Francis Albert Sinatra & Antonio Carlos Jobim

All Ratings (770)

Good

Very poppy

Very good

Love it

Jazz

Heard it so much on the radio I can’t review it objectively haha

Loved the banter

Very interesting, will listen again

Banger

I thought I was open minded but it was too much for me

Very 1989

Corny

Very obnoxious, would give it one star but I know its very influential

Shout out to the samples of Australian pedestrian crossings

Absolute banger

Want to give six stars and I’m not even a hip hop fan

I wish I could appreciate Jazz but it all sounds like lobby music to me.

Usually Nick Cave rubs me the wrong way for some reason, but this one won me over. Maybe I prefer his voice when its over more ambient music

I saw it was jazz, which isn't my favourite genre, and didn't expect to enjoy it much. However, I really enjoyed it. I'd love to know what makes this album different so I can figure out what jazz albums I should listen to.

For some reason I don't like it as much as Blue or Hissing of Summer Lawns but it IMHO has some bangers, in particular "Help Me".

Best album ever

They annoy me for some reason

The parody of Bob Dylan made me laugh

I like the idea of this music. It's interesting. It isn't helping my headache right now though.

I really didn't like "Licensed to Ill" so I almost skipped this one, but I'm glad I didn't. It is completely different, way less obnoxious and full of variety.

Its good that his singing performance is so amazing because I don't think the music behind has aged well. The backing track has a sparse early digital era sound that reminds me of a karaoke backing track or MIDI. It gets a bit more lush towards the end of the album though.

Might be good as the background at a nice restaurant

As usual from King Crimson’s early albums, a perfect blend of interesting instrumental jams and accessible rock songs with a twist. The GOATs

Lol what was that?

Wish I could give more than 5 stars

Wow I'm surprised it actually holds up quite well

Maybe if it was cut down to a single album (or even a double album) it would get 5 stars

Really catchy, but that production is so off-putting. The only album on the list so far that has clipping artifacts I can hear with my good headphones.

Wow, finally an Elvis album I actually like!

Wish I could give 6 stars

Well done but not very inspiring to me. Sounds like a cover band of 60s era songs

Great album. Only marking it down to four star because there isn’t much variety and I swear two songs reuse the same drum line

Best

Was pretty good but I thought The Idiot was better and why do we need two Iggy Pop from the same era?

I thought it wasn't really a standout so I was going to give it three stars but then My Friend, All Thoughts Are Prey To Some Beast and Invocation of Ratiocination were something different so that bumps it up a star.

I can't believe this is from 1966!

What a cool idea

I know how amazing it is that it was all improvised, but I still can't help but feel I'm in an elevator.

I was dreading this album after looking at the reviews and ratings but I don't think it was too out there compared to some of the noise stuff that exists these days. It was basically just metal/punk that sounded a bit lofi sometimes.

The best

The only song I really liked turned out to be a Beatles song. If they wrote the songs I might rate it higher, but it is just a boring cover album.
