It’s a great album, one of my favourite opening tracks on a debut and typifies the sound of the early 2000s indie/rock sound. 4/5
A bit of a hit and miss album for me…some great tracks on here - Do it Again & Reelin’ in the years are particular stand outs. Not an album I was thrilled to have pop up, but have a new appreciation of the band - certainly great production values throughout
Love this album, great songs and fantastic production
It’s an average Bowie album, but an average Bowie is better than most peoples best - some good tracks but some that kind of fade in to each other. Wild is the Wind is a favourite of mine and you can’t deny Golden Years either.
One of my favourite records of all time, truly iconic in its sound and defines an era of music. Whilst people will often deride it for being too commercial, and claim they prefer In Utero, you cannot deny that this album is all killer, and no filler! An accidental classic that broke the mould!
When it came to put it was one of the leading albums in the nu-folk wave that came out in the mid-2000s. It felt so new and different, on a more recent listen I can appreciate the musicianship, vocal harmonies and production, but it didn’t catch me like I remember. There are still some standout tracks - White Winter Hymnal being still the most compelling - but it seems that there are parts of the album that fade into one another. A more average album than I remember…perhaps I just wasn’t in the right mood…
Just couldn’t get in to it…I gave it a few listens but just wasn’t for me
It’s a cool album, very much of its time. There no denying its influence on modern pop and indie - the title track stands out above the rest. It’s not an album I’ve heard before but would certainly go back and revisit it.
Some classic, sing -a -long late 90s pop but some awful and dated tunes too. Was surprised at how many of the words I remember but there are lots of very forgettable tracks too. It was fun to play to the kids but I can live without listening to it again
This was actually a very cool album, it reminded me of Arcade Fire/Pavement in places but loved the variety of instrumentation and lackadaisical vocals. Probably one I wouldn’t have picked but will be diving into more Deer Hunter - it’s an album I think you can get lost in, but can also have on in the background.
