Inoffensive, middle of the road album. Standard Radio 2 fare, but not really my thing.

Started off well, enjoyed the title track. 'Grapevine' not a patch on Marvin Gaye's version. Thereafter petered out into generic cheesy soul. Didn't do much for me.

Fairly dull. Much of this album's reputation stems from the secrecy of its recording and subsequent hype upon release. Whilst it's solid enough, there's nothing that really stands out.

Five stars for Free Bird, but the rest is unremarkable.

Grunge passed me by at the time. It came at a time when I wasn't exposed to much new music. I caught up with Nirvana later, but not Soundgarden or Pearl Jam. Listened to this with no preconceptions, though it turned out I did know 'Black Hole Sun' (no idea from when or where). The album is a bit over long, a decent listen, but it's not 'Nevermind'. I'd probably have loved it at the time, but thirty years later, it's just another album that never entered my orbit.

Oh dear. I like a bit of psychedelia, and love 'She's Not There', but this is all a bit twee. A product of its time.

I had my heavy rock/metal phase in the early 80s, Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath etc. By the time GnR came along, my tastes had broadened somewhat, and I didn't give this much attention. That said, 'Sweet Child' is a classic even if the rest doesn't quite live up to it.

Like fingernails down a blackboard. Next ...

Enjoyed this more than I was expecting to. I had Rush down as whiny vocals and pretentious noodling, which is true to an extent, but there are some strong tracks on here - 'Tom Sawyer', 'Vital Signs', and precious little noodling (a bit on 'The Camera Eye' maybe.) I may have to revisit their other albums and try again.

I'm reaching for the off switch seconds into each track. Unlistenable.

Pleasant enough background country rock. Prefer the more bluesy tracks, but don't particularly dislike any of it. That said, I wouldn't choose to listen to it again.

Another sub-Nevermind grunge album. Nothing much wrong with it, but it doesn't really stand out.

Horribly dated synths. Painful.

Groovy man. I love this album. When I first heard it, it was a revelation, but they're just a great band. A wide mixture of styles, but they all seem to gel effortlessly.

A darker side of Pulp. Great album, but may not appeal to everyone who bought 'Different Class'.
