A Christmas Gift For You From Phil Spector

All Ratings (195)

Not bad, kind of forgettable while still being enjoyable.

Fun / jaunty, but some cringy lyrics (I guess to be expected from The Police)

I can see why this was groundbreaking at the time, but there’s just nothing enjoyable about it for me now.

Started out interesting, got extremely repetitive. Two hours is way too long ...

Kinda weird and unique, not unamusing but hard to see going back.

Hated every second of this experience.

It's a 3 for me, but a solid 3

Some bangers, though kind of vapid

What on flat earth was all this

This was a rough listen.

This was a rough listen, not what I expected

This was fun! Will be a re-listen.

I probably wouldn’t listen again, but it was also very worth a listen

This ruled

Mehhhh

What the hell was even that

Liked this far more than I thought I would

I'm sure this is a masterpiece but I don't ever plan on another listen

Almosttt a 4

Very meh

So good

Pretty good!

Close to a 4

This is as close as it gets to 5 stars, without quite being 5 stars

Inoffensively dull

Strong 3

Weak 3, but pleasant

Started out pretty good, then became so bland and repetitive

WTF

Very close to a 3. I did enjoy it somewhat but doubt I’d put it on again.

Interesting in some ways, dull in others

ABORT ABORT

A lot of meh

Pretty bland

Not bad but kinda boring

In what universe does this belong in a list of the 1001 essential albums

Almost a 5

An assault on the senses (and sensibility)

It was fine

Bland and inoffensive

It was fine for one listen

Not much to write home about

I did not enjoy the first half of this at all. But the second half kind of rules!

The first half was kinda bland outside of the hits. But the second half picked it up.

I probably should give this a 1 but it's hard to out of respect to Bowie

Probably wouldn't listen again, but not a bad album to go to a run to!

This wasn't ... terrible ... but I'm not sure who this is for. Not be, apparently.

I was excited for this one, but just could not get into it. Maybe a different mood would have been another story? But there was nothing to grab on to for me.

Fiona fan, but Tidal is good but not great

Maybe I wasn't in the right frame of mind, but just could not get into this

This felt like the soundtrack to a really cool movie

The hits are great, but some of this is barely listenable. Averages out to a 3.

Every bit as good as remembered

The first two songs are iconic. But past that, this has aged pretty poorly. It veers into homophobic and sexist stuff pretty quickly, and it's also just not very much fun. Landmark album, but one listen was enough.

No real standout tracks, but it’s fun

Sadly this felt pretty stale. Thought I would love it.

So, so good.

They can’t keep getting away with this

To me, this is the platonic ideal of optimal background music

Such a classic

Very strong 3

C'mon guys, what is this.

It was good.

There were parts I loved, and some parts I wasn’t as hot on. But nothing boring. To me, just makes it to 4 star territory.

So, so, so very dull.

This was pleasant, but also no chance I put it back on. 2 stars it is.

This was cool. I'm not sure if I'll listen to it again. But I'm glad I did.

It was fine, I guess.

I wanted to like it, but was just meh.

For me, this one just barely scrapes 4 territory. A quite good album.

A very strong 3

I’m just not really sure what this was
