As much as I'd like to be 'this is overrated' it's not. There's a reason it's always so high on these lists.

I think they've got better in them tbh, so i'm gonna keep this one low.

I really don't enjoy sultans of swing but liked the album as a whole, added it to my playlist to listen again.

I don't really like the Velvet Underground that much but i didn't hate this like i do Nico. I really enjoyed Pale Blue Eyes

I can't listen to this.

This is fine and nice to listen to, I'm just not sure why it's on this list?2.5

Yeah, this is good innit. I don't feel bad about not going to see him at glasto still though.

The screaming is fun but a bit much. When i went to see Red Hot Chili Peppers at hyde park in...05?06? something like that - James Brown was booed off the stage.

I thought this album was really sweet, really pretty. A lovely autumn album.

There were some good songs in this but it mostly just dragged on and on for me. Not one i will be revisiting

Was about to hit the roof when i realised that this started with a cover but then looked at the original track listing and that wasn't on it. Dizzy highs but some bits a bit dull

Drags a little in the middle but the highs are dizzy high. it's a 3.5

I rinsed this album so much when it first came out. Remember seeing them on the second stage at V festival just after this album came out and feeling pretty smug about it. ABsolutely cracking beginning of the album (skipped brightside) Glamourous indie rock and roll absolutely stonking song. A hit.

A beautiful last album, talk about ending on a high. it's a 4.5 but i'll give it a 5, why not.

I can tell this is good but it's very much not for me.

What a debut. One of those albums where I listen i'm transported back to a moment in time. 4.5

It was good but it didn't really grab me.

It's incredibly solid as an album but doesn't have any standout tracks for me.

REally enjoyed this, not usually my thing but added to my playlist to listen again. Maybe i was too harsh on elvis not writing his own songs as these seem to be standards too...

I listened to a song exploder episode about Take on Me and they spoke about the songs being originally written for a lower tone of voice and then they got this guy in. they realised his voice could reach higher pitches than other people while remaining strong. Having that in mind while listening was interesting. However, hard to open with Take on Me and have any other song mean anything. It's too dizzy a high.

I don't think i'll ever revisit this. it's good but i feel like it was done by others better.

I was really pleasantly surprised by this album. I'm sure some of the lyrics are probably questionable but i'm not gonna look too closely and will be listening to this one again.

This was a whole lot of nothing.

It's just a perfect album.

This is just fine, doesn't seem that different from a lot of other stuff in the world. Don't get how it could be considered one of the best albums ever.

This was a nice listen and he had quite the voice but how high can you rate something that wasn't ever written by him? watch me give 5 stars to beyonce.

An easy 5 for me, the songs still feel so fresh and furious.

As much as I'd like to be 'this is overrated' it's not. There's a reason it's always so high on these lists.
