Ok beginning and good end. Middle all sounded the same to me.

I would rather have listened to this after I was dead! Would like to have put no stars

The whole album a bit too one paced for me, seems to be 2-3 good songs and the rest filler. Concept album. 3 stars

Ok beginning and good end. Middle all sounded the same to me.

Good fun listen

I would rather have listened to this after I was dead! Would like to have put no stars

Some strong tracks (oh baby, call the police, american dream) but some overly long bland stuff as well. Would definitely be a 7/10 but limited to 3 or 4 so went for the 3 option

Love it. Although not a fan of Suffragette City

Funky delight

Brought back memories of jigging with toilet paper around my head when they were at Reading circa 90. Can't beat Shane's voice (for some reason). It's got just the right amount of anger or joy or angst in these songs. Has also got the best Christmas song ever.

Generally sounds like Kid A played backwards with a higher pitched Thom Yorke. One of the 'songs' was ok.

Brilliant. One of few bands to carve out their own unique sound.

One of my go to chill out albums

Was slightly more impressed than I thought I'd be. When The Levee Breaks is a brilliant song. A couple of others weren't bad either. I personally can't stand anything with a screechy lead vocal and some of the other stuff sounds like Spinal Tap including Stairway To Heaven which I can't stand.

Stands the test of time, unlike most of the U2 albums before or after this. Exemplary A side. Tails off badly towards the end.

Not bad

Didn't realise there was an earlier album than rated R. Very much enjoyed it. Will be keeping in my music library for sure.

Awful

Slightly self indulgent but enjoyed it. Probably a 7/10

Enjoyed it more than I thought but still can't enjoy music with inane meaningless lyrics. Preferred it with nit singing at all.

A bit over poppy in places but the good songs are undeniable good.

Not at all what I was expecting haven't never listened to them before. More melodic and ska-like, when I was expecting the female version of Skid Row. Particularly liked the drumming. Glad to discover something new and exactly what I hoped would happen from doing this exercise

Initially I thought the first 2 songs were quite bland, then I got to No Other and Strength of Strings...it was beautiful from then on. I imagine I will grow to appreciate he first couple of songs after a few more listens. Fab

Fine. Obviously a lot of classics. Not sure it should be included with all the cover versions though

Seemed reasonably unemarkable to me.

What can I say? Didn't know this existed on Tuesday. It feels like I've never been without it on Wednesday after three listens. 5 - all day, every day for the rest of my days

Sounded like a bit if a warm up for the far superior Forever Changes - which it was.

Anyone ever seen Jack White and the squeaky voiced one from Police Academy in the same room?

Not really a fan of The Who. Especially Rock Opera Who.

Was hoping to hate it based on the fact that he is a sex pest. I annoyingly quite liked it

Pleasently surprised by the consistency in quality of the songs I didn't know. Add that in with the obvious quality of Bird on a Wire, The Partisan etc and it might of been a 5. It's just that A Bunch Of Lonesome Heroes seem to be a poor man's So Long Marianne - so a mark off for that

Enjoyed it. Much more musically diverse than I thought. Strong riffs also!

Solid musicianship if not the most exciting ever

No dud songs - therefore must be full marks! Just the right balance between commercial sounding and raucous

I couldn't listen too it due to being too mentally scarred by the overexposure of Sex On Fire. Probably not their fault...I liked the first album tbh

Pleasantly surprised. A bit more too it than just pub rock. Reminded me of Sebadoh in places.

Oh guitar based Radiohead, how i miss you!! The bad first....Sulk...Bulletproof Everything else is pretty perfect. Bones, Black Star surely could have been singles as well as the rest. Exceptional lyrics 'I used to fly like Peter Pan' gets me every time, even when I was young. And obvs Jonny Greenwood's guitar. Probably 9.5/10 in reality

This was too many System Of A Down songs for me. Maybe one in isolation would work

I did own the cd and loved them live but the album is all pretty much one song over and over. A good song though!

Liked the more non-bluesy ones.

Probably a 7 out of 10er. Giving an extra point because if Beck's coolness. Love the production on most of his stuff.

Not really sure stuff like this should be on the list. Proves their songs were pretty versatile though. All Apologies a personal favourite

Pleasent enough. Other similar artists that do it better

An album of two halves? Didn"t notice how much it tailed off back in the day. Was probably ahead of its time then. Now it just seems like a load of stolen samples. 7 out of ten minus a point for Tricky's acting.

A mixed bag. Some tracks sounded like bad Craig David (too much warbling with little tune) others pretty inventive. Probably needs more of a listen.

Too much Hammond organ after a while

Superior background sounds

It didn't really like any of the tracks I didn't already know.

I've heard more interesting sounds emanating from the tyre and exhaust place opposite my house

Brilliant selection of eclectic songs. Hadn't heard of her before.

Never really listened to much Dylan. Liked it. Particularly Masters Of War

If you ignore the importance of it's cultural impact, it really is rather basic music. Pretty much the same song over and over again with only Anarchy In The UK a real humdinger.

Phew! Got through it. The 70s hey! Crazy times. To be fair , there probably would be a few decent songs here if they just made it 40% shorter, changed the lyrics, changed the synth and most of the rest of the music.

I bought the Trick Of The Light single back in the day on the back of a journos rave review, I imagine. I was non-plussed then and remain mostly non-plussed. The first track is quite beautiful to be fair. Others sound like bad INXS.

Maybe the list needs a review? A couple of good tracks does not maketh a good album. Clearly a band learning their trade, with a few under formed tracks and ideas, production now sounds old as well.

Generally can't go wrong with jangly guitars and great harmonies for me, except when it they get a little too twee on a couple of tracks which means not full marks

Nice enough. Can't picture a time where I'd want to listen to anything but a best of though

Can't fault it really. Though I tend to listen to Black Celebration rather than this album for some reason. Personal Jesus and Enjoy The Silence are perfect slices of goth pop perfection

Liked most of it. Prefer the more poppy ones rather than the slap bass traditional RHCP sound. Scar Tissue in particular

Did nothing for me. I imagine it hasn't aged well.

Enjoyed the middle section most, Everyone's Been Burned and My Back Pages in particular. Have changed from a 4star to 3star review on discovery that the later is a cover.

Had this on cd, but rarely got around to listening to it. Vauxhall and I always had my vote as best Moz album. On a relisten, there was nothing too wrong with it. Singles were a little too 'fun' lyrically, I Know It's Going To Happen is lovely and who knows whether National Front Disco is tongue in cheek on not?

Why don't I listen to Blondie more?

I will not be in a Rush to listen to this again. Terrible screechy vocals / cringe lyrics. No idea why anyone would like it

I think listening to Rush first made this effort more palatable. Although I still don't really know what was going on in the 70s that made prog rock fashionable, this album at least at a few more interesting ideas and harmonies compared to some of the others from the same genre.

Very enjoyable indeed

Great album!

I was already aware of the more dancey side of The Yeah Yeah Yeah's after catching them at a festival, so was familiar with Zero and Head Over Heels. Was also impressed with their more tender side, particularly Hysteric which will definitely stay on my playlist. Sort of a cross between a more tuneful Siouxsie and a more heavy Pretenders, if you like that kind of thing, which I do, apparently.

Love the one's that don't mention religion

Same as the last Funkadelic album - mostly enjoyable if a tad overindulgent

Lush production, great catchy tunes, almost perfect apart from the slightly reedy vocal now and again. A find.

Nothing much to grab ahold of me

His voice is just not for me

Too many 'Babys', 'Pleases'.and 'Loves' for me. Later Beatles much more interesting

Can't quite put my finger on why I liked this so much. Some of the songs should be too repetitive, some of the vocals are quite weak but it is more than the sum of it's parts

Although Suede hold a very special place in my heart (I've never since experienced the same fervour around a band as they had during the early 90s also was one of the gigs of my life - Sheffield Leadmill 1992). In my opinion they have never made an album that is consistently good. This one I like the faster tracks but they should have included Stay Together. The more slower songs remind me of show tunes unfortunately. It's a 7/10 but 8 for this format

Not entirely sure if I like this or not. Sort of a bad English Pogues /or badLevellers tribute. Maybe I'd like with a few more listens but I probably won't bother

Better than the last Who album (wasn't hard). Still don't really get them though. I don't think Daltrey can even sing very well and hate most of the lyrics

If you had to bet on Genesis era Peter Gabriel writing an album of fun pop masterpieces and beautiful poignant ballads would you have?

Nothing else here apart from the title track

Interesting enough to be on the list. Is it wasn't I'd have never heard of Suzi Creamcheese!

Even if a couple of songs are slightly under par, Unfinished Sympathy more than majes up for then

Liked all the harmonies (the singles especially). Mostly more interesting than standard 60s fare..

Nothing really grabbed me

Monkey Man was a good new find. Obviously I Can't Always Get...is a classic, the rest was a little too country rock for me

Not bad. Like an earlier poor man's British Strokes. Caught By The Fuzz the prime cut in amongst the other meats.

Yawn

Not really grunge in my opinion, far too metal sounding. Standard screeching singer. Having said that wasn't as bad as I thought. Thought Rooster was pretty good

Very good. Didn't realise Original was by them. Only not a 5 become the opening track reminded me of The Macarena. Probably not their fault!

Worthy addition to the list. Great if you're in a combative type of mood. Gets a little repetitive after a whole album though

Incredible live band. But never really been sold on this album despite the wonderful singles

Doesn't do much forme

Should be more stuff like this on the list instead of the onslaught of 70s rock bands. Brilliant stuff

Was expecting something less varied musically. The tracks with samples and no vocals still interesting / disturbing. Definitely missed out on this growing up.

Liked a couple of the tracks more I'm the middle

Never really fully got into the Floyd. Whilst undeniably good sonically, I think I prefer the backing vocal to the lead - The Great Gig In The Sky is amazing. The lyrics don't really resonate with me either plus this is to blame for far too much prog rock on this list

Fine enough. More of a best if Charlatans man myself

Loved this. Now I understand why Neil Young is held in such high regard. The last album on here his voice grated too much, this production was smoother and I knew more songs than I thought I need.

I like J&MC. I remember the cancelled gigs and rock and roll lifestyle. I like Darklands and particularly Honey's Dead. They themselves would probably agree though that they are fairly limited musicians with a particular blueprint for a song, which is usually quite sweet and tender lyrically (even if it is about drugs), so when that particular song is played alongside a buzzsaw for the entire album it loses something for me.

Interesting to hear some earlier stuff by him. Sort of like an American Elvis Costello but not quite as biting

I can't listen to certain tracks on this album because of how much they've been overplayed but I did listen to the ones that haven't. If I was reviewing now I'd probably give it 2stars based on their legacy after the first 2 albums . 22 year old me would've given it 4stars so I'll go with that

Not for me

Love his voice so easy to like this. Wasn't aware of this album before.

I've been on hold all weekend listening to Jizz Samba waiting to get to a more worthy album

Great voice. Another album where it seems like it's just repeating the sane song though

Added up to more than a some of it's parts for me. Weird chord structures and out of tune vocals!! No problem!! Different for sure. Wasn't aware of much before Daydream Nation before this. Will be adding to my library

Quite liked it most of it except Perry Farrell's voice which grates on me.

Another album where there is little musical melody with falsetto speak -singing over the top. Don't really get it. Listened to Suicidal Tendencies to see what that was like also...was not a fan. Obviously a talented musician but not for me

Can see why it's on the list but not really my cup of tea

ShitvJam more like

I've never quite warmed to Mr Waits. This hasn't helped. Feels like a mumbling Faggin character from a musical. Some interesting lyrics

The sounds of a genius at work!!

Wasn't really looking forward to listening to this but I was pleasantly surprised.. The first 3 tracks plus nightshift were standouts and was impressed with the variety of ideas (one guitar riff reminded me of RATM).

Not really my thing but can't deny the quality, variety and talent

I once bumped into Phil Oakey on three separate occasions in one day in Sheffield. I joked that I had a celebrity stalker.

Generally love it although a few of the songs feel a little half baked

Too many cover versions. The originals were fine. Like the lo-fi production

Great production, great songs. Only not 5 stars because of the manufactured nature of the band

I think you really need to love the vocals for this kind of album. I can't say I do unfortunately. Criminal was a good sng though

I think New Order are great but not sure about this album being on the list. Had this on tape back in the day. I prefer Brotherhood and Technique. Good but not great. Love Vigilantes and Face Up my highlights

A couple of interesting ideas but nltoo jazzy for me

Horrible lyrics and vocal style with some good noodling
