Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not

Popular Reviews

I'm sure this is really well crafted and she's got a wonderful voice but it's just not for me, Clive

Never heard anything like this. Obviously has to be listened to in a certain situation or it doesn't work, but this hit me at the exact right time

Listened while working so a load of the lyrics went right past me, I would concentrate harder on this with a relisten. But in terms of the music composition this is a great album. Two all timer REM tracks on it as well (It's The End Of The World As We Know It and The One I Love).

Great album, love the soundscapes and some of the lyrics are brilliant. Bittersweet Symphony is obviously an all timer but I'm not sure there's a bad song on here

Good album, I imagine at the time some of this would have been pretty groundbreaking. Hard to ding it for anything but not sure how often I'll be coming back

I'm sure this is really well crafted and she's got a wonderful voice but it's just not for me, Clive

Starting to hear bits of what they would become, too many of them are a bit bland by the standard of The Beatles. I always forget how good their voices actually are!

Brilliant album but Christ, Marvin was horny. The final track is absolutely devastating

Would have been great live in a tiny bar

Okay but quite easy to drift in and out of

Never really tried George before but really enjoyed this. Read about how controversial it was at the time; nowadays it seems so tame. Very 80s production coded too

Sorry Stevie not one of your best for me

Perfectly listenable but unfortunately they all kinda sound the same. Rio is a banger though

All sort of blended together as one

Very good stuff. Chrissy Hynde's voice is brilliant

Clearly very good, unfortunately got distracted by work so didn't appreciate it as much as I could have

Bob is clearly the best to ever reggae

Really unique album and I just love a hip hop drum beat

Blue Mountain Ridge is amazing, aside from that, I found this a bit bland

Really nice surprise this one. Didn't realise they were this bluesy

What a banger. If I wasn't being given another album I would probably just go back through it again

Shite

Can see how it influenced others but a bit too scattershot for me to truly enjoy it

Really good stuff Curtis

Expected this to be very glum and slow but was really full of life

Very very strange

Cracking voice, not sure it did quite enough for me to properly love it

Dunno if this counts as Dad Rock but call me Dad because this Rocks

Not David's best. CBA with Eno's bullshit

Never heard anything like this. Obviously has to be listened to in a certain situation or it doesn't work, but this hit me at the exact right time

Incredibly effecting stuff

Already a huge fan but this album shot up in my estimation after listening to this yesterday

Decent

Don't really understand the hype

Serviceable. I think whatever it is R.E.M. are trying just doesn't speak to me like it does others

The singles are great (especially so if you haven't had them thrown at you for 20+ years) but the back half is so forgettable

The people were right

Forgettable

I thought this would be terrible but he's actually alright

Enjoyed this more than I thought I would but I think musically it's just not going to interest me enough to come back repeatedly

Good stuff although not as good as Exodus

Really enjoyed Bowie does soul. Fame is an absolute all timer

Got some great stuff on here but slightly too long and muddled to be a 5 star one

Brilliant

Below average and largely forgettable

More like Pants

Great stuff; always liked The Hives and this was brilliant

Properly great and funky

It's a classic for a reason!

Sorry Suggs, couldn't make it to the end

Very weird to hear Nirvana being nice boys while on stage, not the myth I've been sold!

All timer

Too corny to get a 5 star but it's great fun

Just great stuff innit? Not a bad song on there

Didn't realise this would be so good. Brilliant Britpop album

Perfect hardcore album

Terrific synth pop album

This is just brilliant stuff

3 star jungle

Wakeman shouldn't have been allowed to express himself: stick to the piano on Hunky Dory

Always liked them from the Greatest Hits album. This one is also good stuff
