Outstanding album. Perhaps a little lull (drop in tempo) in the mid-tracks, but overall an absolute belter
Really liked this. Full of various styles and sounds. Short.
A solid 4. Not really my kind of music, but I can appreciate it for what it is.
Not their best album. Some interesting songs in there, but didn’t really do enough to elevate itself from background noise to something I was actively listening to.
Again, I can appreciate the music for what it is and the massive Nile Rodgers influence, but I’m just not a huge fan of disco.
Could be mistaken for thinking you are listening to an extended play of one song they are so similar. Not unpleasant, just not really anything to get excited about.
Dislike this Blur album. Much prefer Blur (1997).
Better than I remember. Faded in the second half. Seeing a lot of comparisons to Weezer’s Blue Album. This is far inferior.
Not for me this one. First I’ve not finished.
Great album. Hadn’t listened to it in a fair few years, but didn’t seem as long once played. Very familiar.
Country Pop. No, no, no. Not even the best example of the genre.
Absolutely stunning. Wonderfully witty lyrics. Have fleetingly listened to some Belle and Sebastian before but they were big before my time. This is fabulous!
Not an Elton John fan, but enjoyed this album.
Enjoyable enough. Don’t think I’d actively seek it out to listen to again.
Funky. Filled with classics. Doesn’t have any weaker songs and oft sampled, which again shows its quality.
Really didn’t like this. Passin’ me by is alright. Of its time. Misogyny writ large.
Great album, but not as great at Kid A.
Not for me.
Knew of this band, but never listened to them. Was expecting something different from ‘hard rock’. This was eclectic and I liked it.
Meh. Nothing really distinguishes one track from the next.
Great album. Can see how it influenced a lot of bands in the 90s/00s.
Didn’t enjoy this. Can’t really see the reason why people hype them.
How this is one of the 1001 albums is baffling.
Bought this on release. Come on! Feel the Illinoise Part 1 is a particular favourite. Lots going on. Lovely
SOAD passed me by in the 1990s/2000s. Like this. Will seek out the rest of their back catalogue.
Middling. Never really got going and all I could think when I was listening was that I’d much rather be listening to Nick Drake.
Great music. Love it.
This washed over me.
Enough Beck already!!!!!
Bought this when it was released, but never really thought much of it at the time. Relistening now, I’m appreciating it more. Nice lyrics and melody.
Not a huge fan of The Who. This album has done nothing to shift my opinion. Always feel like if the world wasn’t mad for British music at the time then this band wouldn’t have got anywhere.
Mixed. Solid air is an excellent track, but the movement between genres means that as an album it’s not very coherent.
Not for me
Middling. Not any standout tracks, partly because they all sound the same. Will I listen to it again? No.
Not for me.
Dated. Lacks any variation in the songs so became tedious.
Great live album
Fucking awful! First three songs are incoherent. Gave up after that. Life is too short to spend it on this.
Clearly one of the few who cannot stand Prince’s music.
Björk, innit. Lots of plodding along and never really getting anywhere.
Never liked Pulp in my youth. Re listening to them again through this makes me appreciate them a lot more. This was a good album.
The music was fine. His voice and lyrics less so. Less Paul Simon the better.
Utter, utter shite! Everything about this is utter shite! If I could give it zero stars I would.
Quite liked this.
Never heard of Traffic before. Really liked Freedom Rider. The rest were pleasant background music.
Played REPEATEDLY EVERYWHERE when it was released. Nevertheless, it’s a polished album full of relevance even sadly 20 years after release. Like it.
It’s a shame bluegrass music has travelled beyond the region where people chose to listen to it.
Pffft. Starting with a 20 minute extended play of Inner City Life is certainly a statement. Sadly, it gets worse as you progress through the album. By the end you’ll need a lie down in a darkened room. Awful.
That guys voice can do one!
This albums inclusion is laughable. This was rubbish and overplayed/over-promoted at the time of release. Cannot believe there aren’t better albums than this to be included. Twee rubbish.
Nope.
Wasn’t expecting to like this as it’s not really a genre I like. However, was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked it in the end.
Confusing album. Some of it was very, very French and in no way rock, let alone industrial rock. However, every second track was a banger of industrial rock. No idea what they were saying though.
Heard songs from this many, many times on 6Music. It’s ok. Nothing more than that. I’d have liked it to be funkier.
Urgh. This was a tough listen. Not much variation in the music.
Singer has a funny accent put on for a few songs at the start, which isn’t great. Beige.
Nothing particularly differentiates this from any other 80s pop. Mediocre.
44 minutes in a dive bar.
