Strong Durham vibes. Not listened to in years. Did not spark much joy.

Retro Durham vibes.

Loved this album - had just moved to Guernsey and listened to it on my 30 min walk in/ back from work. Still rocks.

Love the National - not my favourite National album (prefer "trouble will find me" and "I am Easy to find" but still a very solid 4

I am in a minority but I find his vocals so whinny.

Surprisingly still sounding great - a classic from Durham days when i borrowed the album from Tanya and then bought my own copy as liked it so much.

Have always loved this album esp "you Said Something" .. although weirdly has not acted as gateway to other PJ Harvey records yet.

Not my favourite Beatles album and have never really understood why people elevate it above others.. still a banger and a 5/5 tho.

Banging.

Makes you think what greatness he could have achieved had lived long enough to fully develop/ mature as an artist...

Love this album - especially the mini opera of a "quick one while he's away".

Had never heard of Holger so was a first for me. Not quite smoking what Tom's smoking but did enjoy it although overall found it a mixed bag - enjoyed parts - although other parts had very strong flight of concords vibe...

Patchy ! Liked the solo one with guitar but very mixed bag

I really enjoyed Generation Terrorists when it came out and was a big Manic's fan even though they were bellends in their early years. As they matured I liked them less and less - a bit too portentous and lacking fun. Quite enjoyed "Everything must go" - but found it a bit flat and washed over me without sparking much joy. Singles are okay - but thats probably as have heard them so much. Was hoping to like the album more and that my younger self would be proved wrong for dismissing them but still found it all a bit meh.. 2/5 is probably harsh - its more a 2.5.

Liked this alot -esp the title track. I must be getting old.

Classic - trying to get Aga to move from Abba to Blondie...

Enjoyed - smooth vocals. Only problem for me is that cannot really relate to Cowboy songs about horses so kinda washed over me with no emotional hook.

The album title is the best thing about the album. Rest is very bland sub Phil Collins 80's pfaf.

Classic - still think of it as a recent album and one of the few current artists that I follow - turns out it came out in 2009...

Loved it.

Really liked the follow up album "Gold" - but this rather washed over me - a bit generic and a bit forgettable.

Have not really listened to much Pink Floyd as had previously dismissed as wanky toss when i was in my punk phase and never really revisited this opinion. Roll forward 30 years or so and its much more up street and very much enjoyed large parts of the album - unfortunately there are some wanky bits like the sax solo - but still happy to give it a solid 4.

The two big singles are bangers. everything else is a little bit 80's bland for my taste so only a 2... not quite a 3

Not listened to Wild Beasts before. Another mixed bag. A bit like Foals in places a bit meh in places. Not particularly bad - but doubt will come back to it...
