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

Popular Reviews

Made me run over to the 1001 album website to check that Devo are on there (they are)

It was good, but I had to stop after four tracks. So. Much. Existential. Misery. Man needs a cup of tea and a Hob Nob.

Lots of fun, all the hits and more! A great singer and entertainer in his prime, with a solid band and the audience eating out of his hand. It feels more like a historical record than a ground breaking album, but still fun nonetheless.

Missed the release of this because I was busy with a new baby and then all the ensuing controversies made me wary of all things Kanye. So I was surprised at how much I loved this. Crazy creative, musically literate, sarcastic, deeply misogynistic and funny with it.

Still awesome debut from a great talent who died too young.

I have avoided Neil Young for many years because…reasons. Coming new to this album, it’s wistful, angry , bitchy and emotionally real.

Didn't realise China Girl was on this album. It was never my favourite Bowie song, but I now prefer the original

Yeah...nice enough background music for polite clubbing or one of those dinner parties where chaps think it's clever to talk smack about jazz and quote Anthony Wilson at you.

Berlin era gorgeousness, and I have always loved that coat on the album cover

As jim said … landfill indie

Kill me now

Lovely grooves...and then the misogyny begins.

Flippant, smart-arsed, sarcastic, swaggering jangly guitar pop that tries unsuccessfully to hide some rather nice musicianship. Mr S loves the guitar work.

Meh. Better than I remembered.

Meh

Pretty good. Though not as clever clever as later albums

2 brilliant tracks. 2 ok tracks. The rest is filler

Nope

Comfort Album no. 1. Brings back memories of my parents, their daffy mates, playing with the bubble machine in a wooded garden and squat parties in derelict 18th century mansions.

Still have this. Pure joy

It loses a star for Barso in blackface. Otherwise poignant, wistful and bouncy
