Nevermind
NirvanaGreat to listen to this album properly again, from start to end, for the first time in thirty years or so. It's so good. Happy days.

Memories of all the metal fans at school! I've never tried to listen to Metallica properly and I had to really battle with my prejudices about the genre to listen to this all the way through. The tracks are SO LONG and pompous.... proper rock songs should be two/three minutes long surely. 2/5 stars for me BUT the last two minutes of 'One' are amazing, incredibly exhilarating! I liked 'Harvester of Sorrow' too and the Wizard of Oz bit on 'Frayed Ends of Sanity'.
All a bit too cheesy for my tastes I'm afraid. It's all very NICE. The alliteration... and that version of 'Everybody's Talkin' is unforgivable. 'Lady of the island' is quite lovely though.
Just terrific. Every track a winner.
What a fantastic album! So cool. I loved 'Infinity'.
Solid 5 star album. This is so lovely.

Some nice jangly moments but nothing special...
Very bracing!
I found this unbearably twee.
Brilliant album. Pure joy from start to finish.
Excellent stuff.
I really enjoyed this, although I wished I was listening to the White Stripes a lot of the time. Also the tracks 'Tighten Up', 'These Days ' and 'Never Gonna Give You Up' got my hopes up that they might be cover versions of Nico / Rick Astley / The Untouchables but they just turned out to be more of the same. Solid 3/5.
Ugh, I love Nick Cave but this album was the one when I started to fall out of love with him alas. It's just so arch, and his vocal and lyrical style just seems really self conscious on this record. BUT There She Goes My Beautiful World is amazing and so is 'Get Ready For Love' and so is 'Carry Me'. 3/5 I'm afraid though.
Brilliant record.
I wasn't expecting the Mekons to sound like this! There are some really terrific moments here but I guess it's a 3 star.
I liked some moments of this but it just didn't grab me alas.
Good old Blonde on Blonde... like a shaggy old cat who's always happy to see you. Good stuff.
