unsurprisingly enjoyed!! perhaps a bit too long but I would listen again - jungle, across the border and obvs mr blue sky as highlights 8 out of 10
enjoyed more than I expected incredible storytelling and blend of sounds two title tracks were possibly my favourites
not my cup of tea really can appreciate the poetry of it, but the slowness doesn’t do it for me 3/4 out of 10
enjoyed!! not my fave Bowie but I liked the title track a lot and TVC15- would happily listen again and see if the others grow on me prob more of a 3.5- 6/7 out of 10
liked the opening track, the rest of the album was pleasant too not sure if I would actively listen to again 6/10 or perhaps 5
not bad- but to me, nothing particularly special? I liked the swampy rock sounds and it was a pleasant listen but not much more than that 2.5ish, 5/10
didn’t click for me immediately 6/10
brimming with bangers! obligatory hate for phil spector
fine, but equally totally forgettable 3/10
some instant bangers and others that could defo be growers!! really satisfying harmonies and catchy lyrics 8/9 out of 10
surprisingly enjoyed?! maybe I’m being generous since this is my first generated britpop album (of which I hear there are MANY) but I really liked the ‘patchwork’ influences and sounds on this album, I can definitely see myself returning to it solid 8/10, could become a 9
some solid tunes that I will definitely return to!! George had such a gorgeous voice 8/10

fine, I see the vision but it didn’t grab me immediately. apart from wondering how much Chrissie Hynde influenced Florence Welch 6/10
better than their other one but still not particularly my cup of tea 3.5 (7 out of 10)
I would be denying my true self if I didn’t give this 5 stars: the album that defined pop music in the 2010’s, and massively shaped my listening taste. I remember my dad getting me the deluxe edition from HMV on release day, and being instantly obsessed on first listen. Clean, Style, and Out of the Woods are some of my all time Swift songs. Honestly it’s a shame the TV album fumbles some of the production so hard- I’ll always keep coming back to the OG. 10 out of fuckin 10
First three tracks are a generational run, and completely justify the album’s inclusion… sadly the rest is mostly forgettable bubblegum pop 5 out of 10
stand in the place where yo- 5/10 (may revisit)
so forgettable and that’s not what a good rock album should be… and that born to be wild cover honestly sucked 2.5/10
a very long album that only became a little boring in the last 20 mins or so.. enjoyed the album overall and the diverse mix of sounds and genres 8 out of 10
surprised - first three tracks are great 8 out of 10
I thought I would enjoy this more!! Title track is obviously great but most of it I could pass on 6 out of 10
listened on a rail replacement bus and hoped that each song would be the last…. 1.5 stars, prob only 2 out of 10 though
well, yes!
thoroughly enjoyed / appreciated / ??? Kinda freaky but layered and interesting to delve into- all the fiddle haters can fuck off
Like talking heads if talking heads were just shit
post punk is not for me
Fine! My biggest takeaway was learning that they did the hurt song
Very forgettable
perfectly fine country album
