Strong start, however, many of the songs blend together and fall into "good background music that I won't skip nor feel energized to utilize brainpower to pay attention".
Very much enjoyed the experimentation going on. Each song felt unique and worthwhile to listen to.
Cringy much like a middle schooler first learning about sex and boasting about his newfound, taboo knowledge. This is a bad album with awkward sound effects. Eminem really "Came on Everything" for this one. Skits are dumb. Failed at weaving a story throughout. "Rock Bottom" is the only song I added to my likes. "Still don't give a fuck" was enjoyable, but not worth adding to my library.
"Tonight, tonight" was the only song I added to my library. Originally, scored the album as a 4. It's great chill music to put on in the background or drive to, however, I'm subtracting a point due to the length. Disc 2 is an unnecessary addition. If music is a journey, I felt I was driving 500miles nowhere listening to this.
I have no reason to like or dislike this album.
Diverse selection of instruments and tone for each song. Makes listening to it in album form very enjoyable.
Songs unfortunately are too long and too similar to one another. Vocals are pretty much the same throughout the album as well. It's what you'd expect: metal yelling with heavy drums and guitar. Best songs are "One" and "To Live Is to Die". Would rather listen to Led Zeppelin.
Very interesting blend of genres. The jazz, blues, and folk influence ménagerie together to create a Scottish Maine lighthouse soup vibe. It's the windy, chill brother of John Denver perhaps. Favorites include Over the Hill, Don't Want to Know, Dreams by the Sea, and the Man in the Station.
So, is Selling England by the Pound perfect? Maybe not, but it doesn’t have to be. It’s ambitious, weird, beautiful, and unapologetically itself. And really, isn’t that what makes it so timeless? Favs are Dancing, 5th, and Cinema. 5/5 would sell England off into debt.
I feel like I'm getting abducted by aliens and probed. Which is a cool event but I wouldn't do again
