Every songs rhythm is fucking electrifying. There’s no need to listen to closely to the words (apart from on New York I Love You) but if you do I know you’ll connect to something. This is my first listen to LCD and won’t be my last. I think people that don’t like this have never smiled to themselves in a mirror and it shows.

some songs bored me however there are a few absolute slaperoonies. I think it was good to hear more than just creep. Truly if someone reminds me of it myxomatosis will play at my funeral.

I understand the plastic soul label, but he does do it so well. The arrangements make this album. The lyricism is right behind. Have to admit really don’t like the song ‘Win’ maybe I will change my mind one day but who knows. Very enjoyable 40 minutes.

Someone’s review already said it all. If it’s not broken don’t try to fix it. First time listening to a heavy rock album (?) and this wasn’t a bad place to start. It was fun, it was silly and it was well played. Surprised by how much I enjoyed, but not mad about it.

This has actually shocked me. It seems like an album that was made as a jam session in the best way. Definitely didn’t expect to find it this entertaining. Usually get very bored of a guitar solo but not with Free Bird, totally allowed in my book. May not explore them more because I don’t know if there was much experimentation from them?? Anyway banging debut.

Wow. This album opens with a bang and just continues to keep you in a trance. The vocal performance is carefully crafted, down to the backing vocals. The musicianship surrounding it are second to none, all the choices seem so intentional and important. The production is excellent, thank you Lou, this many years later it still sounds incredible on sub par headphones. A new classic in my house.

Hated the first song. Second had better lyrics. Title track i enjoyed, tightly made song, love the drums, good melody line. Slow motion was a surprise but a nice one, seems pretty and bright. Loops was forgettable. The Architect was a good lo-fi moment. The Lightning Back sounds close to something i’ve made so liked that one lol. The main melody and backing vocals really complement each other. Valley could be an irish folk song, loved her. Ravenspoint, love the use of the speech at throughout “what is the fuss on our way to dust” he ate. The delay seems over used for me personally. Made me feel like it was dragging. I wish felt like on over extended fade out. All the transitions from song to song are really well done. It’s getting an 3 because although there were great moments I doubt i’ll go back to it.

Loved it, this album opens with the title track and does it so well. He then just continues to get more impressive. The range of his vocals are so so good. The production is of course amazing but it’s by he who shall not be named. The first two tracks makes me want to make a rom com, first song used for the shot of the woman crying in her car about the man. The second is the shot of the man walking sad on the streets of NYC, peak winter. (He’s got) takes me back to primary school, however he does it a whole lot cooler than we could. Only you know blew me away, it’s gorgeously romantic and such beautifully crafted lyrics. Good loving man is a tone switch I needed and I appreciate it a lot, great way to close this album.

That opening is extremely iconic. I love their harmonies so much, so simple but effective. Rosy is so emotional, with such a groove. Dandy, what a gentle punch in the face. There’s Too Much On My Mind make me cry, because god I feel that so deeply. Session man! “he’s not paid to think, just play” love it. Rainy day, sounds of rain/thunder throughout and somehow not tacky at all. House In The Country, such a beautiful and tight rhythm. Also the lyrics are way more meaningful than i ever picked up on before. Holiday sounds like it’s just vapid fun and shocker it’s acc not. I love the Davies. So jealous of their talent. Most Exclusive, the backing vocals are fucking hilarious and of course make it so much better. Fancy, so moody because of the instrumentation. It’s not my favourite but let’s be real it’s not bad just different. Little Miss has a magic to it, and i’m sure a lot of women feel it very deeply that it could be them they’re talking about. The guitar in the beginning and throughout and the drum solo in the middle is perfect. Storytelling is the cherry on top. You’re Looking Fine, is fine lol, the riffs and the keys carry it. Sunny Afternoon! What is there to say other than it’s an all time classic. If you don’t think so you’re so boring it’s unbelievable. I’ll Remember, lovely way to end the album. A neat little bow around the project. Has it all that they are perfect at. Their sound is so solid you know it’s them from a mile away. Their main melody lines are something to behold honestly. Can anyone actually explain to me why they weren’t as big as The Beatles??

This album in my generation is revered and i can see why. The first three songs are such a dramatic and well done introduction to Swift as a pop music icon. I love Welcome to New York for how punchy it is, it cuts through whatever moment your in. Blank Space and Style are pop writing 101. They do it so well, there’s nothing but catchy melody's and well structured bridges. Infact Blank Space is my favourite Swift bridge, it’s just so good. The next two songs are great but they feel a bit further from her, and i’m aware i’m saying that as someone who doesn’t know her at all. I didn’t like either of them completely but it wasn't hard to listen to them. Then we hit Shake It Off, and as much as I want to say I hate it, I don’t. Yes, it has been overplayed to death, but does everyone still sing a long?! of course we do. I Wish is one I enjoyed the writing the most, over the melody. Then you hit another two absolutely brilliant pop anthems, Bad Blood and Wildest dreams. Simply put they are masterpieces of pop for sure, not overall genius, maybe close though. How You Get is a great storytelling piece, what she does best. This Love and I Know Places are slightly forgettable to me, but not bad. Clean I again love the narrative, lovely poetic way to end an album of bangers.
