Second best post-Beatles solo album

1-Star Albums (4)

VU’s first post Cale release. Reed leans heavily on Brill style compositions and early rock n roll influences. VU lite

Great QJ production. Out of the gate strong, mellows and ends with a decent pace.

A must in every library.

Incredible for a third LP. Probably the most cohesive AF album. Sprawl 2 is top tier track, perhaps AF’s finest.

Best part is that it is only 37 minutes. Peace Frog is good though.

Solid sophomore LP. Great arrangements and production

Top Ten All Timer (even though it’s a bit bloated).

Really enjoyed, solos and vocals a bit much at time, but really solid sound and message throughout.

Tough listen, last track was the best.

Solid album

Fun listen. Very nostalgic

2013 remastered version. Few great songs would be nice for a dynamic shift between tracks. Last two tracks (Jamaican Version) are as good as the best tracks.

Classic.

Can see how this is influential, but does not work for me

Good production and interesting arrangements, not my style

Few bangers

Excellent, will Re listen

Epic album. “Smiled and Held My Hand”

Excellent, will Re listen

I should listen to more German Electronic

Never been my jam, exceptional technique but the lyrics are beyond tastless.

First listen, decent but doesn’t come close to the greatest of later missy.

V 80’s and dramatic. Some good funky elements

Exceptional

Was a real grind to listen to the enter album

All timer

Drags on

Excellent live album. Van in his prime, excellent band who are super tight and have excellent tone

Great to revisit after many years.

Dug it!

Not my thing. Counting Out Time is a stand out track for me.

Some good tunes, but in general shleppy country rock.

Sounds like the late 00’s

Fine not great. big band jazz blue

Lovely Album, will revisit

“Cocaine Blizzard”

Iconic, never need to hear it again.

Sexist misogynist bullshit for incels.

Enjoyed, not memorable.

All timer

Very interesting album. Never heard of it prior to listening.

This brings me no joy

One of the greatest.

Cool album, very timely

She’s always, Restaurant and Only drag this up to a 4.

Very enjoyable

pretty enjoyable! Looks of fast chuggy riffs, great drumming

Delight album

Classic!

Definitely filler, background music

Solid album, enjoyable hooks, great 80’s rock album.

Second best post-Beatles solo album

It’s over now

Fun production, very 96 lyrics, silly sexist etc

Stunning.

Iconic!

Enjoyable. Interested in learning more about the Northern Irish rock scene

Great production. Lyrics haven’t aged well, but the beats are great. 3.85/5

Work of art

Enjoyable, straight shooter is great.

Bongo Big Band

Lovely LP

Fun honky tonk

Dig it.

Starts off banging, b-side is a bit of a drag

Pretty boring

Tedious white guy blues

Good live album, rather long

An absolute chore. Slide tone is brutal

Love this album.

Stunning that a 19 year old sang and composed this.
