The Hour Of Bewilderbeast
Badly Drawn BoyGreat cure for insomnia
Great cure for insomnia
The music was shite, it kept me up all night
It was so good And then it all fell down
Great cure for insomnia
Not as good as Top Gear
A good laugh I guess, why it's in the book who knows
Really strong album, bossa nova style done so well, Getz particularly kills it as well, great performance all round though
The music was shite, it kept me up all night
I don't think this is the worst album in the book; found its experimentation quite compelling. Wouldn't say I loved it but I respect it and thought that it was successful in what it set out to do
Should come with a warning sticker saying "only listenable if you are high"
Now I can confirm that I am not part of the jilted generation, thanks guys!
After a rough few days of albums it's always good to get an absolute classic like this. Every song here is brilliant
Not bad, got a couple solid bangers on it but not super consistent, clearly very influential on bands like nirvana
Every song's a banger, love it
A set of absolute bangers, immaculately performed and produced. Nile Rodgers' guitar and Bernard Edwards' bass particularly stand and there's enough variety in the style of songs to keep it interestjng
Really cool album, especially enjoyed the guitar playing style Though the first few tracks were particularly strong and maybe fell off a bit in the second half but a really good listen
It was so good And then it all fell down
Awesome album with a great fusion of classic rock sounds and Latin-inspired rhythms. Santana's guitar work is particularly outstanding and I love every track (with maybe the exception of the last one but that's more of a short outro than anything)
Very sad at times, a few really good songs on it, a couple that I'm less into as well but what a way to end your career
Epic funk rock Some songs have bad lyrics But Epic funk rock
First half very good, second half a bit rubbish 2.5/5
There's a reason they're not the alpha band or the sigma band
Good solid album, enjoyed the energy and guitar sound
Tons of bangers on here, second half not quite as strong as first but still pretty solid Great production and performance
Good new wave album, pretty strong songs throughout
Not bad, got a bit repetitive for me and maybe not something I would necessarily go back to but respect it for what it is and thought the overall sound was pretty good
Really enjoyed guitar playing and some of jazzier influences, some almost medieval vibes at times. Not a particular standout album for me but still a good, solid enjoyable listen
Sounds a bit like Oasis but 3 years earlier and better. Songs were good throughout, not a lot of variety but a strong, very enjoyable album
Don't quite get the hype tbh, thought it had a few good songs but not consistent and some of the lyrics I found cringey and didn't really resonate with me
Awesome songwriting with lyrics that really keep you engaged and make you think
Was ok, not much stood out but wasn't bad. Easily could have been halved in length
Very decent crooner music
Generic britpop
Cool use of sampling, found it a bit repetitive after a while but not a bad listen
Good stuff
Amazing jazz album, so well composed and performed, keeping you engaged the entire time, love how progressive the sound can get, you don't know where it's gonna take you
Absolute reggae classic with themes that are still relevant today
Enjoyed the experimentation and lo-fi feel. Not every track is great but there are plenty of gems to keep you entertained
Unique sound being a punky rock opera, loved it
Some of the best cover versions ever on here, breathing a completely different power into the songs. Sometimes maybe a bit much for one listen but lots of great stuff here, songs like "Hung My Head" and "Hurt" are amazing
Iconic Bowie record
Pretty good, not my favourite album I've heard from them though, less consistent but still got some bangers
Guess I'm a sucker for that cock rock 4.5/5
Great songs all-round, very influential sound as well
Pretty good but I would almost always prefer to listen to the original versions of these songs; also why is the global rating so crazy high
It's got some good moments but found it too long and overblown by the end
Powerful stuff with messages still very relevant today
