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

All Ratings (217)

I had forgotten how good this album is!

I didn't think this would be anything but a 5, and if I could give 1999, Little Red Corvette, and Delirious individual ratings they would be off the chart.. but then.. things took a turn. I am not saying the songs are bad .. but there are very few reasons in my mind to have songs that approach the 10 minute mark.. and there are three on this album.. and two in a row! The #1 reason to NOT have a 10 minute song (in my opinion, of course, which is the point of a review) is to refrain from repeating the same lyric over and over 100 times. D.M.S.R and Automatic do just that. They start so good but could have easily been 5-6 minute songs. I appreciate this album for its content but I can't say that I will be listening to the entire album on repeat again soon.

Loved listening to this.. I only wish I was listening to it live in a dive bar in Memphis.

I hated everything about this album. Songs aren’t horrible but they are nothing I ever want to hear again.

I think I enjoyed this. I had never hear of them before. This definitely feels like a late night, dark bar kind of album. That’s not when I listened to it and my listening was cut up at different times of the days so I don’t feel like I have a true judgement. I will probably try this at another time.

Solid album. A few songs I enjoyed but overall its not my preferred genre.

63 motherfuckers in the first 3 songs.

Loved this entire album!

The album cover was scary but I enjoyed the music way more than I thought I would..

Meh

I didn’t make it through the whole album yet so maybe my vote would change, for better or worse.

This sounds like a bad version of the talking heads.

Just not my music

I would normally highly rate David Bowie but not this album. I would give 1-star but he’s David Fucking Bowie.

I really don’t like Take on Me but the rest was better than I expected

Come on Eileen is a favorite… evokes such happy memories. I enjoyed this album.. mostly.

Some good songs but I wouldn’t listen to the whole album.

Is this a joke?

Felt like hints of the Beatles in there

I would love to listen to this live. I would never listen to this again not-live.

Perfection!

Nah.

I don’t know when I’d listen to this

Enjoyed my Neil young day

Didn’t really get into this one. Too repetitive

Did not enjoy.

Not bad.

Might be the best Beatles album!

Great album

Really enjoyed this

Did not enjoy

Great album!

Not sure when I’d listen to this

A couple good songs

Every song deserves 5-stars

Great album!

Meh

Love it!

Couldn’t get into it

Fantastic

Not my music

I enjoyed this!

A couple good songs

Nah

Couldn’t do it.. I am not a fan of Lenny.

I did not hate it, but I don’t know when I’d ever listen to it again.

I didn’t know how amazing this album was! Five stars for sure!

Great classic album.

Was more irritating than enjoyable

I appreciate it but wouldn’t listen to it often.

I didn’t get a chance to listen to the whole album but I was enjoying it

There were a couple songs that I actually enjoyed a bunch and a couple that made me reach for the skip button.

I listen to this in the background and more often than not I felt like turning it off, then turning it up.

Listen for a minute, skip, listen for a minute, skip, listen for 30 seconds.. nope

A clear 5-star!

A great album!

Annoying

Great Bob Dylan album

Didn’t make it alll the way through yet but maybe that also says something?! Hmm

I think I’m just not a Joni Mitchell fan <gasp>

I would enjoy this live

I started at 4-stars, went to 3-stars, then wished there was a 3.5-star option. Since I’ve been taught to round up, I will.

I love Portishead. This is not my favorite album

Easy 5-star!

If I was at a rave and on ecstasy, I think I’d give this 5-stars for sure!

It’s a good album, but I am so sick of it… so maybe it’s not as good as I think it is.

Not bad but didn’t get far… at least that is what I rmemeber

Reminds me of camping… every time.

I can say I don’t think I’ve ever listened to a full Elvis album and I enjoyed it

Not my favorite
