First time I listened to the whole album twice in one day. Really nice, good to see more non-English music.
Imagine - Appreciated classic Crippled Inside - The Americanisation of John Lennon Jealous Guy - Good It's So Hard - More Americanisation I Don't Want to be a Soldier Mama - Very bad Gimme Some Truth - Oooh I liked this one Oh My Love - Bad again How Do You Sleep? - Alright I guess How? - Also fine Oh Yoko! - These feel like songs for montages in family friendly films
Dance or Die - Yooooooooo this is sick. Opens with 3 bangers before a slower tempo song that's good but not great. Cold War - alright but a little too pop. Tightrope was ft. Big Boi. Come Alive - Cool classic US rock style. A lot of the later songs are more chill, kinda movie musical-esque and classical themed. Pretty good.
Money For Nothing carries this album but it's too strong.
Not much by the way of stand out songs but an overall really solid chill rock album.
The kind of artist where you're like I really should've been familiar with the before, then you hit a song and go "oh I know this one!". Really good but a bit too much of a country-twang to it.

Finally something not in English! The kind of music you'd hear at a restaurant and get too into.
Sad story: British man forced to listen to country music. Not bad but did not like.
I have a soft spot for Primal Scream as they did a show at my uni after Jason Derulo conned the uni out of a bunch of money. Saying that though, this album didn't really do anything for me. Not bad but no strong feelings on it, wouldn't listen again.
Never been a big Smiths fan (I think Morrissey's pompousness comes through in his lyrics) but I do appreciate that they were talented, which really shines through in this album. Didn't personally jive with me overall but a lot of good songs.
Growing up in the same area as the Gallaghers means having already heard Wonderwall way too many times. Never been big on Oasis, it's a fine album but I never feel the want to listen to it.
Was excited to be hit with 90's hip hop, this being politically charged with the group just producing this album. Starts strong and is consistently good, but there's not a lot of range, the songs blur together.
Afraid I'm just not a big Bob Dylan fan and this didn't change it. Maybe I wasn't entirely fair because I was busy working but it largely blended together. Not bad but I'd probably skip most of the songs.
Maybe they should've done 12 good songs rather than 69 middling/awful ones. Just because something hasn't been done before doesn't mean it should be.
Never dabbled with NIN before but I get it now, I'm sold. A strong start that it somewhat struggles to maintain, but excellent album overall.
I've tried to get into Prince before and always struggled despite really liking some songs, such as Raspberry Beret. I enjoyed this album a lot though, think as a whole it went down really well, weirdly I'm more mixed on his more popular songs.
I don't think I've ever listened to a Slayer song before. They're alright, I can appreciate it but thrash metal in an acquired taste and I don't think I'm in that niche. I liked it enough though.
First time I listened to the whole album twice in one day. Really nice, good to see more non-English music.
So I'm already a Depeche Mode fan, I was listening to them a lot a month back. Not sure if this is my favourite album of theirs, some of my preferred songs are on others, but this is more than half bangers.
Another album I've listened to before, I like it but the only real stand outs are "Can you get to that" & "Hit it and Quit it". Over half the album is the opening and closing 10 minutes songs that are just kind of there. Great album art and name though.
Jazz fan listens to jazz for the first time. I like jazz a lot, but am really not familiar with the genre, just don't really know anyone into it. This album blew me away though, sometimes you only need 5 songs if they're all good and well layered.
Wasn't as into this as Harvest, there are some good songs but there's also more here I didn't like. Lots of songs with a drone that doesn't do the album any favours. Still good but wouldn't really listen to the majority again.
Now don't get me wrong Tainted Love is a great song, but not great enough to save the album as a whole. Just not great, Soft Cell were short lived and a bit of a one hit wonder. The second best song isn't even part of the main album.
The album so far that I know best, still hadn't listened to it for a while though. I'd forgotten how good this album was, just consistently great, with a similar tone that still differentiates songs. So good that no one really pays attention to Moby's work besides this.
Not much to say on this one, didn't really like it but not straight up bad. It's an Aussie aiming for US rock and roll, but it just ends up being kind of bland.
I am weak to the funk, but though this was a good album I ended up not being as huge on it as a whole than I initially hoped. That first song it really good, the rest is more mellow.
I can appreciate this album for its importance as an early electronic release, but as their first album Kraftwerk really didn't have it figured out yet. Weird album, not much to it. Enjoy 22 minutes of "Wir fahr'n, fahr'n, fahr'n auf der Autobahn".
Better than I was expecting. Not particularly for me with hit and miss songs on the country rock to pop-rock scale, but a pleasant enough listen that I kinda enjoyed. Still don't feel thaaaaat strongly about it though.
I'd say I'm a Bowie fan, he has so many great songs but with such a long career his quality varied. He may have done Space Oddity but he also did The Laughing Gnome. This album from 2 days before his death is decent but nothing amazing. Doesn't get much talk.
Oh Billy Joel I was not familiar with your game. Excellent album, really close to 5 stars but a lot of the songs you have to be in the right mood for, holding it back slightly. Listening to Movin' Out again while typing and almost broke but sticking with 4 stars.
This is a meaty album. I was a little worried going in as I wasn't particularly familiar with any of the songs par the title track, but for the most part it delivered on the hype. No bad songs, a fair few great ones.
Not a band I was at all familiar with. Feel like I should've been way more into this than I was. Lots I normally go for and it's all good but didn't quite click with me, no individual songs that hit hard, maybe I just wasn't in the right mood.
So I know they're a widely clowned on group but I always liked them, maybe because I'm only familiar with their older stuff. Thought maybe my opinion would change having not listened for ages, but no this 2nd album is still excellent. 7 of the 11 songs are hits and the other 4 don't drag the album down.
Hadn't heard of this group from Rugby before despite being into alt-rock/shoegaze, but seemingly it's because they're not that great. This album was fine, low mood methodical, but lacked oomph. Seems to not be one of their bigger albums either.
I like them quite a bit but never one of my favourite bands. A solid album, unique and ranged, but not their best release to be honest. No songs that particularly stood out.
Didn't realise how unfamiliar I was with her, didn't even know she's British. Good album, great singer, but don't feel the want to listen to it again. Feel bad saying this but it feels dated, though still easy to appreciate.
Never been a huge fan of theirs, this album didn't change that. It's not bad but not memorable either, didn't have any of their hits I knew either. Feel like a fake Brit I've been rating the UK albums low but not been the best choices.
