Not their best album but still glorious

Outstanding album. Have only ever heard studio stuff by the great man. Live recording really opens the music up.

Half if it's great The other half, not so much.

Not as bad as I thought it would be

Great album though there are a couple of fillers as well as the obvious killers

Still as good, if not better, than it was at the time. Easily in my top 10 and has been since it was released. A truly life changing and life affirming album.

Not a fan. Still not a fan after this.

Ooft

Never heard of her before tbh. But this is a great album. Loving the vibe and have now listened to some of her other work and it won't be for the last time.

Not for me. Really dull and uninteresting.

Not as good as I remember. The 2nd star is purely for Dreaming of You which is still a brilliant song.

Innovative, delightful, eclectic, and marvellous. Listening to this album is like have musical honey dripped into your ears by a mischievous forest nymph. How I've not heard this before is criminal, but now that I have, it won't be the last time, that's for sure. You can clearly hear where many artists over the years have been influenced by this legend of a geezer. And rightly so.

S'alright

Stand out track Chicago aside, this album is dull and derivative. Lyrics appear to have been written by a 5 tear old.

5 out of 5 All day long One of the greatest and most influential albums of all time from one of the greatest bands of all time.

Pure shite

Still an absolute fucking classic. Hasn't aged at all and the influence this band and album have had on many artists is so obvious.

Utterly sublime

Bossanova baby. Catchy in places like the clap. No bad

Borderline craxy genius It flits from one to the other so much but wow

Ooft Ooft Ooft That is all

Perfection from beginning to end. Gonna have to really listen to the other 20+ albums now :-)

Wasn't sure at first but then I went back, got to Shutdown and That's Not Me and something clicked. The rest of the album just made sense after that. And i really really like it. Urban poetry gliding over some wicked rhythms. Nice His other stuff is great too. I'm a new fan for deffo.

Soundtrack to a generation Still remember all of the words to all of the singles And the album tracks still hold up too Cover of Born to Run is fantastic Such a shame we only got two albums from them before internal conflict broke them But then, something this perfect was always destined to be fragile Ah, relax

I like it It's not like songs It's very "look at us doing weird shit with instruments". But they're having fun. You can feel it. I disagree with the notion of it being pretentious. I don't think they're showing off for showing offs sake. It was the early 70s. There was a lot of drugs around man. Several tracks on this I could listen to over and over. It brings me joy in dark places. I'm glad I found this.

Ah punk with a bit of soul to it Still good after all this time though a couple of the tracks don't hit as well as they used to. I'm giving it a 4 just cos of those songs and also because I have always found Feargal's voice to be a bit too shrill at times though he does have a good heart (and these days, that's hard to find).

Not as good as I remember Still a handful of good tracks on it though

Add it up, promise, and blister definitely the stand out tracks for me but the whole album is a joy from start to finish as it was when I first heard it in the early 90s

I like some of his other songs This is ok but doesn't make me jiggy like superfly or move on up does.

Blackmore, Gillan, Glover, Lord, and Paice. Yass mate Although I do prefer the live version of Child in Time from the Made in Japan album where RB and JL trade guitar and Hammond licks. And it lasts for the full side of an LP. Seriously, check out Made in Japan if you like this. Double LP, 7 songs in total. Ooft.

Baws

Yuck

Meh

A great album by, let's face it, most folk's favourite beatle.

Still my favourite white stripes album

Not for me

Proooooooooooooggggggg!!!!

Easily a contender for greatest album of all time.

As smooth as folk

If I could give an album 6 out of 5 I would. This and Nick's other work did literally change my outlook on music in the mid 90s and have rarely left my listening lists since then. Way to Blue in particular has, since then, been one of my all time favourite songs.

Didn't expect much from this but was very pleasantly surprised Had seen her on jools holland once and thought she was OK but this is actually a really good album with a fusion of several different genres bouncing around Cold War and War of the Roses are both standout tracks for me.

It's a little dated but still damn good

One extra star cos of what this led to.

Oh aye

What's more proggy than prog ? This apparently

This one threw me and challenged me a bit. At first I thought it was just pretentious art wank but then, about half way through, I started to appreciate the skill these cats have. I'm giving a 3 but only cos I feel it might not be their best work. Imma habe to listen to this more, and their other stuff. It's growing on me. This album, and presumably,their others, is not an album to stick on when you're doing the dishes or painting the kitchen. This demands your undivided attention. Headphones on, no distractions and just, listen. I'll be doing that properly with this soon.

Never liked this grunge pop lite album at the time Thought the years may have been kind but nope, still don't like it To be fair, it's not dated that much but then, shite's always gonna smell like shite. One extra star cos Mrs robinsons a fun cover at least.

As debut albums go, there can't be many this accomplished. Really ahead of it's time, being a precursor to the glam/hair metal of the 80s yet still sounding fresh and fun. Could listen to this album every day and not get bored with it.

Ooft

Had only heard the title track which is epic. The rest dud not disappoint. Looking forward to the new posthumous album coming out in October.

No for me

Road, middle of.

Really enjoyed this hippy crap

Sweeeeet jazz

I'd have given em a 5 It's a modern classic But I've still never forgiven them for cancelling the glasgow date on the dookie tour and not coming back for fucking ages The waiting/st jimmy is still fucking excellent though

Enjoyed thuis more than I thought I would. I remember it being darker I must just be older and more depressed to enjoy it more lol

Some truly excellent socio political commentary and excellent satire that, sadly, is still relevant 50 years later. Didn't expect to like this but it defied my expectations.

2 just cos it's not completely terrible

It grew on me I'd go for 3.5 if I could

Nuff said

I'd have said 1 Buy they're getting 2 for lyrical content and subject matter.

East Kilbrides finest

Shamone

Not their best album but still glorious

Nah

Very British sounding folk tinged indie Gonna listen to more of their stuff Not something I expected to like but this list can be full of surprises sometimes.

Love this album as much as I did when I first heard it.

Not my bag baby

Big sexy synthetic pop mmmmm

Shmoooove

I AM THE LAW

Just naw to j masticulitis voice

Really enjoyed this

No my thang baby

This was a very interesting surprise. Can tell they've had an influence on many artists. Just on the first track alone I can hear the influence on Public Service Broadcasting, The Horrors, and David Holmes to name but a few. Other tracks have clearly had an influence on the early UK punk scene. Good though that is, I'm giving it 4 out of 5 because I feel it's a collection of ideas rather than a collection of songs.

Prefer loveless but still well ooft

2 cos it's got a song called Don't Panic Still dire though

Love me a bit if Apple Prefer her 2nd album though

Billy

It's got a few good tracks bit it's dated a little

Post punk while punk was still happening Love it Dum de dum

Me likey Fun n funky

Pretty damn good

Pedo pish

Not the greatest from Cohen the Bardbarian but still pretty decent.

Prog. Good but not great

Bam bam bam, bam bam babambam Fuck. Yeah.

Love this album as much as I did when it came out.

One of the first albums I owned courtesy of my uncle. 5 stars for the guitar tone on the title track alone And the rest is also genius.

Kinda biased here cos my da loves this album so I grew up listening to it Better than most of their other output I reckon.

Really enjoyed this more than I thought I would

Tis good Not exceptional but that maybe cos it sounds slightly dated in places

No my thing

Noice

Me love la bush

When they're good, they're great. When they're not good,they sound like a weird novelty act.

Big bold sexy kitchen sink drama orchestral indie pop. Fucking sublime soundtrack to the mid 90s. Made glasses and geekiness cool n sexy.

Not bad but a bit samey as it goes on.

Has decent moments but overall it's not great

Rather enjoyed this beastie Hadn't heard of them till now

Nah

Was alright

No likey very much Emo vocals putting me right off

Jazz blues folk funk rock It's got a bit of it all here Great album from the legendary John Martyn. I do prefer some of his later folkier stuff though tbh hence a 4. But it's a high 4.

Great voice but the songs do get a little repetitive for me.

Meh

It's not his best But it's still better than I could've done

Best debut album ever Stupendous

Utterly insipid self indulgent shite

I dunno if it's genius or terrible I'm hedging my bets and doing a 3 The 2nd half is more palatable than the first Definitely glad i listened to it though

No for me

Nah

First half was funky dynamite. Second half unfortunately dragged it down a bit with subpar motion soul.

Not a band I've ever really got into or listened to much but this was a very pleasant surprise.

Absolute masterpiece

Prefer 80s zz top but this is alright

They've made better albums

Outstanding

All day long this album is a 5 for me. Absolutely faultless from start to finish. Easily my favourite Pixies album too.

Me no likey Too squeaky for me

If I could give 0 I would. Drivel.

I'm a streetwalking cheetah with a heart full of napalm Fuck Yeah

It's like Diet Springsteen No for me

Ooft

No for me

This is sexier than a sexy banana in a leotard And twice as yummy

Its not 100% dire

Possibly their best album.

Not too bad bluesy punky noise

Tis good. Lots of it holds up well. Bit of filler so a high 4.

Bit of filler here n there but a few srltandout tracks. And Oliver's Army is, to this day, a stone cold banger.

A big slab of techno disco dance funk Some bits hit great Some has dated Obviously one absolute stormer of a stand out track

Big sexy george

Very pleasantly surprised by this. You can definitely hear how he's influenced people like Phil Collins, Elvis Costello etc. Noice

Jeff beck is really good

This album, in places, was like a big spiky honey flavoured jobby. In others, not as good.

Big song good. Rest average

Nice. Very nice.

Never been much of a fan of Pavement but this grew on me a little in places.
