Strong start then tailed off for me. Maybe need more listens

Really enjoyed listening to this album. Several stand out songs which I've heard before and had me singing along (with a clenched power fist!) Love the melodies, passion and, at times, righteous anger that Strummer brings.

An album of two halves (sides) for me. Liked the 70s romp through the first four tracks, but less so the more experimental songs that followed. Will have to listen again another day, give it another go.

Felt quite nostalgic listening to this. But it's not my favourite Blur album. I'm more familiar with Parklife - a continuation of the theme. I prefer the later, more introspective stuff on Out of Time.

An enjoyable listen. Nice way to spend an hour dancing round the kitchen while cleaning.

Heard many of these songs before but it was good to hear the album as a whole. Will listen again to the tracks less familiar to me such as Neon Lights. I grew up with Joy Division and a New Order. A classic and hugely influential.

An enjoyable listen. She has a great voice. Particularly liked the task Before Believing which the album title come from.

Having only heard Coldplay hits before and never a whole album, this started off well but then tailed off for me and became a bit ploddy.

We own this album so it was a very familiar listen. Not a bad song on the whole album. Wrote a song for everyone and Lodi my favourites

I did like the experimental nature but didn't really warm to this. Probably need another few listens to increase my score.

"Make a cup of tea. Put a record on!" What a good idea, especially when the record is as good as this. Chock full of fun short Britpop songs. Favourites include the hits, Line up, Connection and Waking Up. Also 2:1 and All-nighter. Took me back to mid-90s student days which is never a bad thing.

I wanted to like this more but on some tracks (Rollercoaster) the jug effect was just too much. Overall like but could be better.

I used to listen to side A on a loop along with No Surprises so I did waiver between 4 and 5. I think that's probably a comment on me rather than the album. I prefer the instant gratification and familiarity of side A - just perfection. The second half of the album is a more challenging listen for me, but worth it.

Sublime

I enjoyed this album. I'd heard The Bottle before, really evocative of real life for many. Like the slow sound of Back Home and and Bobby Smith before the barn-storming H2Ogate.

Gotta be honest, Sex on Fire gives me the ick. Now I'll add Only 17 to that list! Quite like Use Somebody but otherwise didn't find myself paying much attention. And the vocals started to grate.

Shoegazing, melancholy and melody are 3 things I like. Was already familiar with the hits.
