More absolute waffle. I'm sure this had its place in every post grads CD rack in the mid 90s but it's just noise. The CD case was inevitably used to rack up lines of cheap coke on the low mahogany coffee table in the living room.
Some lyrics from the title track describe my feelings towards this album perfectly:
What do you want from me? , Are you trying to punish me?
Punish me for loving you, punish me for giving to you
Punish me for nothing I do, punish me for nothing
You punish me for nothing, for nothing

Some decent guitar stuff going on early on but just generally another Meh. I can imagine this type of band were ten a penny early 90s and RHCP won that race.
Also Fuck been caught stealing because the dogs barking at the beginning set Polly off and took ages to chill her out.
This was a tough listen, basically just music you'd expect to play in snippets in a lift. Either koffis finger slipped and he added this by accident, or koffi isn't anything to do with this and it's really the penguin cafe orchestra behind it all. I'm not sure which one of those 2 I'm least happy with.

The whole album is just one continuous blurb, hard to tell when one song stops and the next starts. I assume this album was the end for the xx. I remember enjoying the first album at the time because it was something different, their sound is just tired though at this point and I didn't enjoy any of it. I was today years old though when I found out that Jamie xx is Jamie from the xx though. Everyday is a school day. Mid 1.

Jesus christ, thank god that's over with. Took me 3 attempts to finish this album, a hard graft with lots of teeth gritting. I always thought I liked prince but thats based on that video of him shredding while my guitar gently weeps. Now I've had to sit through 1 hour 10 minutes of that I'm not sure I do like him as much as I thought. Sounds like a teenager who's just discovered how to use a synthesiser while refusing to sing directly into the microphone.

This album is nowhere near as good as I see to think it was, maybe it's just not aged well. Starts strong and just fades away, although his band actually go a better job than him keeping the album alive for longer than it should.

Get a grip koffi, what is this absolute shite you're feeding us. Sounds like one continuous track because it's so hard to tell when some German students stop making noise and then start again. Who the fuck was sat listening to this shite in 1981 in Berlin and thought it was any good. Low 1.

Starts strong, great vibe to it and some bangers swear I've heard that bottle of smoke somewhere before. Either way it's a great track. Starts to tail off massively towards the end, culminating in an absolute butchering of South Australia, give me the fisherman's friends version any day. Just about scrapes a low 4.
Listening to this album was definitely educational. Here's my learnings::
I didn't know pogue mahone is gaelic for kiss my arse
I didn't know the bassist in the band ended up getting married to costello
I didn't know they were muckers with the dubliners
I always thought he sang a rare old mountain tune, turns out he was singing the mountain dew
There's something in here now and then that I like but I can't place it. Sounds like it's been written by a lad who got kicked out of the bullingdon club for being too much of a rebel and turned punk just spouting a load of poetry he written when he was 7. Just about scrapes a low 2.

This just sounds like a watered down foals album, lead singer voice doesn't go with the rest of the sound of the band. Very inoffensive album but it's also makes it wishy washy. Firdt time hearing wild beasts and I won't be rushing back. Mid 2.

Generally a fantastic album, sabotage alone secures this as a 4 along with some other great tracks in here. There's a bit of experimental stuff going on in here that although good, stopped this being great. Maybe I have the bias of listening to lonely island as much as beastie boys which has warped me. High 4.
Never heard of Billie holiday other than pac rapping about her in thugz mansion and I get it now. Nice vibe to it, very vintage and you can tell this was recorded in 58.

Koffi dropping bombs here. Remember going through my dad's CD collection when I was like 11 and picking this out based purely on the cool guitar on the front, listened to it and my tiny mind was blown. Every tune is a banger here, weakest is rife across the river and still a great track. Last track is my favourite here by a mile, something about them face melting little stardrops after each line get the feels going. High 5.

I listened to this album while my blood alcohol content was around 75% baileys but from what I remember, it started strong then just faded a bit. Another solid album from the met but reminds me of slipknots later stuff, OK with some good songs that end up being the singles. Stopped just short of creeping into a 4 because I won't be going back to it. Very high 3.

Some interesting concepts in this album, mainly regarding Stevie being coy about putting a finite distance on the location of heaven. 10 zillion light years is a made up number so I'd love to see your working out if I'm honest lad. You could have just says a zillion as they're still illegitimate mathematical terms. You saying if we got some fancy gravity drive we could actually warp there? Get a grip lad you can't even get on the 14c to the big asda without someome helping you.
In terms of the actual album though, gets better as it goes on. It ain't no use and they won't go when I go are stand outs. Lifts it from a 2 into 3 territory. Also some interesting album artwork. Low 3.

A certified banger, hit after hit and a great sound. Will visit this port again and again now I've been here. High 4.
Didn't really go anywhere, nothing really happens here. I imagine live this is a great experience but this isn't really for me. Listened to loveless after this based on Chris's recommendation and that was much better, again would be great love in a intimate venue or maybe as a headliner in the dark on a bigger stage. When it all boils down to it I'm too much of a basic bitch for all this.l, that's a me problem though. Low 3.
Loved this, would come back for mpre
Had no idea what to expect and I loved this, will definitely come back. Sounds great.
Starts and ends strong but there's just something about the middle where it got a bit drawn out and Meh. After 3 songs i was like certified banger solid 5 but yeh it dropped off and then picked back up. High 4.
I did listen to this but it passed me by, other than "the song" it sounded samey but in a good disco way. Mid 3.
Give this a 6. It's the Beatles init and anyone who says they don't like the Beatles is a crab. Blackbird is probably my favourite song ever, between that and yesterday anyway because they were the first songs I properly leant on guitar.

Can't remember who I was speaking to pissed up lately who said they have always loved Muse and was even trying to defend their most recent shite, safe to say whoever it was is a cunt.

Absolute mayhem this album, not having that it was recorded in 2010. It's the most early 70s thing I've ever heard so it hits the brief of being a psychedelic sounds mash. Maddest thing about this is that they seem to have brought their pet pigeon along to the recording, and also the siren off the ghost buster car. They're included in every single track, mental.

I done the majority of my goosing to this album in 2008, primarily in a travel lodge in Warrington because we were both living at our mars. You know most of the songs on this album whether you like to admit it or not, that being said I literally had to skip SOF and use somebody because they've been overplayed and so saturated at this point. Is it a high 4 or a low 5? Fuck it low 5 because of all the goosing.
Bloody loved this, only really listened to NCATBS individual tracks and with them being spread across such a long time they all sound great but so different. Solid 2 disk album some bangers on here. Only not getting a 5 because although it's fantastic I can't see me coming back and listening to it again. High 4.

I wanted to hate this I really did. Between the album cover keeping top shop afloat for a decade or the big 3 songs making GNR the Coldplay of 1987 I had judged this album being it even started. I actually enjoyed it. There I said it. I wouldn't listen again but it's a high 4.

I'm sure this was groundbreaking and awe inspiring in 92 but I can't listen to 2 hours of this musical clip art. Sounds like a 2003 college music art project, some decent bits across some of the tracks but basically reminds of "the sound" from friends. Very low 3.
