I tried (and probably failed) to listen to the album with an open mind. I like The Smiths, I really dislike Morrissey. I didn’t particularly enjoy this album, maybe because I couldn’t get past how I feel about Morrissey, but I do think I also just didn’t enjoy the music that much. I definitely prefer his work with The Smiths to his solo stuff. The national front disco could be an excellent track about people being drawn in by the far right, but when Morrissey sings “England for the English” it’s hard to view the song as a critique rather than an endorsement. Similarly when he sings “we are the last truly British people” it’s impossible not to read that in the context of his Xenophobia. All that aside, I think the music just wasn’t massively exciting to me, although there definitely were parts I enjoyed. Fav song: You’re Going to Need Someone on Your Side Least fav: You’re the One for Me, Fatty

Really liked this album, I love how varied it is although it sometimes felt a little too busy. Fav song: BaBopByeYa - had a few picked out as favourites but I think this one really shows the variety of the album as it changes multiple times throughout the song. Least fav: Neon Gumbo - is this backwards? I think it’s backwards. I love that she’s experimenting but it just doesn’t do it for me (although I like the thunder at the end)

I really enjoyed this album, moody and atmospheric in such a good way. Listening to the whole album through I sometimes found it fading into the background for me a little, but it was still enjoyable. Fav song: Lovesong - probably partly because it’s the song I was already most familiar with. I also really liked Pictures of You and Untitled Least fav: Last Dance - it’s fine I just didn’t find it as interesting as the other songs

Mixed feelings about this one. The songs I enjoyed I really enjoyed but there were some I didn’t like very much - usually the ones with the strange rapping. I liked that there was some variation with some more intense songs and some slower songs. Fav song: Scar Tissue Least fav: Purple Stain

Really enjoyed this album, will definitely listen again. Loved the storytelling and the chill vibes. Fav song: The Weight - also loved I Shall Be Released and Long Black Veil Least fav: To Kingdom Come

Some enjoyable songs but I find the singing style a little grating at times. Liked the harmonica, and the atmosphere but found it struggled to hold my attention. Fav song: I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For - a classic (so is With or Without You but I’ve heard covers of it that I prefer to the original) also liked Bullet the Blue Sky Least fav: One Tree Hill - maybe? Idk I didn’t dislike any of the songs just a lot of them blurred together for me.

Really enjoyed the variation on this album, not everything landed for me but overall I really liked it. Fav song: Here Comes Your Man - also liked Monkey Gone to Heaven and Silver Least fav: Tame

Enjoyed some of the songs but probably wouldn’t listen to it through as an album again. I preferred the middle of the album to the first and last few tracks. Definitely liked the more upbeat songs, but the slower songs could grow on me if I listened more. Fav song: Butterflies (not sure if this is actually my fave but it’s where the album picked up for me and I started to enjoy it)

It always takes me a minute to get back into this kind of music but then I like it. Linkin Park often plays at my climbing gym and I do sing along. It reminds me of being a teenager when they would play a lot (and In the End was a meme) I do now find some of it a bit cheesy though. Fav song: A Place for my Head, I like the guitar at the beginning Least fav: Runaway, I think this is the most guilty of cheesy lyrics. Particularly the bit at the end where the rhyming words are the ones that are shouted.

Lots of songs I already knew and liked - coincidentally had listened to the album a few days ago when a friend put it on. Really enjoyed it but not sure I would listen to the whole album again - although I wouldn’t object to it being on. Fav song: God Only Knows - a classic Least fav: Here Today - it’s fine just didn’t like it as much as the others

On first listen I found it a bit forgettable, but when I listened again I really enjoyed it (and then I listened a 3rd time and liked it even more) Fav song: Showgirl, I also really enjoyed Housebreaking and Home Again. Least fav: Junk Shop Clothes

Didn’t initially like this one but I enjoyed it after the first few tracks. Listened through twice and both times I started off not liking it and ended up thinking this was an album I might add to my rotation. Really enjoyed the mix of genres and the different instruments that get used. Also really liked the style of the singing. Fav song: Shiver - I also liked Temptation of Egg, Raw, Astonished (in Memphis) and Bottom Line Man Least fav: (Well) Dusted - shame it’s so early in the album because it made me think I wouldn’t like the album.

Thought it was okay, but I didn’t enjoy it as much as Pet Sounds. It was interesting to read the history of the album and I can see why people love it but it just didn’t do it for me. Fav song: Good Vibrations - also quite liked Cabin Essence and Heroes and Villains - Instrumental Least fav: Mrs O’Leary’s Cow

Overall quite enjoyed it but didn’t find it particularly exciting. Actually did like Mother but it felt very out of place on the album so was a bit jarring. Other than Mother, it’s the sort of album I wouldn’t mind being on in the background but I wouldn’t seek it out. Fav song: Synchronicity II - also liked Murder by Numbers and Every Breath You Take Least fav: O My God - found this one particularly uninteresting

I loved this album. It was very much my sort of vibe. I already knew Blister in the Sun but was delighted to discover how much I liked the rest of the album. This is one I will definitely listen to again. My main complaint is that Good Feeling is such a good album closer that it seems a shame to have put the bonus tracks on the end. Fav song: Blister in the Sun - I also liked Gone Daddy Gone and Good Feeling Least fav: Ugly

I tried (and probably failed) to listen to the album with an open mind. I like The Smiths, I really dislike Morrissey. I didn’t particularly enjoy this album, maybe because I couldn’t get past how I feel about Morrissey, but I do think I also just didn’t enjoy the music that much.

All that aside, I think the music just wasn’t massively exciting to me, although there definitely were parts I enjoyed. Fav song: You’re Going to Need Someone on Your Side Least fav: You’re the One for Me, Fatty

Enjoyed this more than I thought I would, but I probably wouldn’t listen again. The music was fine to have on in the background but nothing particularly grabbed my attention. Fav song: Strangelove Least fav: Sacred

I enjoyed this album a lot and it’s one I’ll probably return to, although I did find some of the tracks blurring together. Fav song: Change Partners - I also loved The Girl From Ipanema and How Insensitive Least fav: Dindi

This took a little while to grow on me but then I really enjoyed it. Really like his voice and the contrasts between the quieter and louder moments. This is definitely one I’ll listen to again. Fav song: Easy Way Out - also really liked L.A., Wouldn’t Mamma be Proud and Better Be Quiet Now Least fav: Colorbars

I enjoyed listening to each of the songs but as an album I found it repetitive. Really liked his voice and I loved the music, would put any one song on and enjoy it, or even play the whole album in the background, just wouldn’t put it on to properly listen to again. Fav song: Tutti Frutti (maybe? The songs felt similar enough that I struggled to pick a fav) Least fav: Jenny, Jenny

Really liked this album, for most of the songs I didn’t mind them being so long as I felt they changed a lot throughout, but a few felt a little repetitive to me. Put off a little by the lyrics on the last track, hoping I’m just not interpreting correctly, but didn’t get a great vibe - a shame because I love the music. Fav song: Nawa - also liked Frustrations and Stubbor Problems Least fav: WonderWonder

Thought this one was a lot fun. I really liked how his voice and the female singer’s voice worked together. Some of the songs almost gave me musical theatre vibes, in the best way. Fav song: Buona Sera - I think it stood out to me because the beginning is a little different to the other songs. Also loved Just a Gigolo and The Lip Least fav: Body and Soul

Was disappointed on my first listen but enjoyed it more the second time through. Did find some of the songs a bit too repetitive. Not sure if it’s a bad thing that we got Pet Sounds first because it makes me think this isn’t as good as that - or if the bits I like are the bits where I can see Pet Sounds is on the horizon and that makes me look at it more positively. Fav song: Help me, Rhonda - also liked Please Let Me Wonder Least fav: Don’t Hurt My Little Sister

Really love this album. Nostalgia definitely plays a part in my enjoyment of it - reminds me of car journeys with my family - but I also just think the songs are gorgeous. My main complaint is that I think the end of the album isn’t as strong as the beginning, but the beginning is so strong that this is sort of understandable. Shame he’s such a dick. Fav song: Moondance - Into the Mystic, Crazy Love and And It Stoned Me - this feels very much like the sort of album where my favourite so my would change depending on the day Least fav: Everyone

Another one that reminds me of car journeys with my family. I know people sometimes struggle with his voice but I like it and I really enjoy the style of these songs. On the first listen I did feel like a whole album of music in that style is too much for me, but on a relisten I didn’t feel that at all - maybe one I just have to be in the right mood for. Fav song: So Long, Marianne - this is winning due to nostalgia, one we would sing along to in the car. I also liked Suzanne and The Stranger Song Least fav: Winter Lady

Definitely one I enjoyed more on a second listen - I think on the first listen I was only looking for the songs I knew well, but on a second listen I was able to enjoy it as an album. Lots of songs here that I loved but I’m not sure about the Medley towards the end. Fav song: Oh! Darling - also liked Here Comes the Sun, Come Together and Golden Slumbers Least fav: Mean Mr Mustard

Was a bit put off by the album cover but then I really enjoyed it. Can imagine putting it on when I’m in a bad mood and just wallowing in it, although it was maybe a bit gloomy for the mood I was in when I was listening. Fav song: Madeleine-Mary - I also liked I See a Darkness and A Minor Place Least fav: Knockturne

First listened on my commute where it was crowded and far too warm and I thought “this is just the Beatles but shit” and then I listened again on a walk and realised I actually really liked it. Strange to realise I knew the last track after not recognising any of the rest. When I gave it a proper shot in a good mood I thought the songs were fun and enjoyable and that there was a good variation across the album to keep it interesting. Fav song: Time of the Season - I also liked This Will Be Our Year and Brief Candles Least fav: Changes

Think some of the tracks maybe go a bit long but overall I really enjoyed it. Some songs on here that I already knew, some that were new to me but I liked a lot. Fav song: Peg (I already knew this one so might just like it best because it’s familiar) also liked Big Black Cow, Deacon Blues and Home At Last Least fav: Aja

A few tracks I enjoyed - mostly the ones I already knew. A few I thought were okay and then some that actively annoyed me. Overall just not really my thing but I will always sing along to those songs I already knew. Fav song: Smooth Criminal - also liked Man in the Mirror (sung this on stage with a school choir when I was younger so it gets nostalgia points) Least fav: Speed Demon

Really enjoyed some of the songs but found the ones I didn’t like to be boring. The bits I liked are fun and I would be happy for the songs to come on if I was out but I wouldn’t listen to it through as an album again. Fav song: Take Your Mama - also liked Mary Least fav: Comfortably Numb

Reminded me of some bands I used to listen to as a teenager. Maybe if I listened at that age I would have liked it more but as is I thought it was fine - wouldn’t seek it out but would listen if someone else played it. Fav song: It’ll Be a Long Time - also liked What Happened to You? And Come Out and Play Least fav: Genocide

This one wasn’t really for me. There were parts of the songs I would like but then there was often something I didn’t like or it would just be very repetitive. For a while I had it on in the background while working and then it was fine, but when I was listening properly I found it largely boring and occasionally annoying. Fav song: No More Runnin Least fav: Guys Eyes

Liked it more than I thought I would when I first started listening - although there were a few songs I didn’t really like. Definitely one that grew on me on a second listen. Fav song: He Went Down to the Sea - also liked Monk Time and Love Came Tumblin’ Down Least fav: That’s My Girl

Really enjoyed this one. Thought the game show concept album thing was strange but fun. Some tracks I didn’t enjoy as much and sometimes the humour wasn’t my thing, but as a whole I liked it a lot. Fav song: Eye Know - might be partly because I really like the Steely Dan song it samples. Also liked (3 Is) The Magic Number and Transmitting Live From Mars

Not really my thing. There were some songs that I enjoyed and some I liked parts of. Found a lot of it repetitive - probably wouldn’t listen again but didn’t mind it as background noise while working. Fav song: If They Move Kill ‘Em Least fav: Motorhead

Fun album, managed to feel varied throughout. Would definitely listen again although I think it’s one where I need to be in the right mood. Fav song: London Calling - also liked Jimmy Jazz, The Card Cheat and Train in Vain Least fav: Koka Kola

Thought this album was gorgeous. I love his voice. I think the songs were sometimes a bit repetitive but I didn’t mind too much because I liked his voice so much. Fav song: Cry to Me Least fav: Won’t You Give Him (One More Chance)

Not really my thing. Could enjoy it a bit as background music but wouldn’t be something I would choose. Have found some of the songs getting stuck in my head a bit though. Fav song: Mansion Least fav: Couldn’t Get Ahead

Enjoyed the album, generally preferred the earlier tracks to the ballads but thought the vocals were great across the album. Fav song: Papa Was a Rollin’ Stone Least fav: Love Woke Me Up This Morning

Thought the album was fun, particularly the first song - made me want to dance. Not sure I would listen again though. Fav song: Chameleon Least fav: Sly

This one grew on me. I really didn’t like the first few tracks on my first listen, but I was enjoying the album by the end. I think I needed a little bit of familiarity to get into it, but I do just think those first couple tracks are my least favourite. Fav song: Living in Paradise - also liked Pump It Up, Little Triggers and Lip Service Least fav: No Action

Quite liked the album but it struggled to hold my attention the whole way through, think it felt a little too repetitive. Fav song: On a Rope Least fav: Middle

This is not my favourite Neil Young album, but reading the history behind it I can definitely feel the emotion in it. With that in mind I think it’s a really stunning album, but one I’ll probably only revisit when I need to wallow in some bad feelings. Fav song: Albuquerque Least fav: World on a String

A strange album, but to me it was an enjoyable kind of strange. Probably not something I would listen to again but I liked the fantasy vibes. Fav song: The Keeper of Time Least fav: The Wolf of Velvet Fortune

I loved the energy on this album - a really great live album. Sometimes the songs feel a little bit too similar, but I still really enjoyed it. Fav song: Jackson Least fav: Cocaine Blues

Not really my thing. I liked some of the sampling and some of the beats but I generally found it a bit busy and I didn’t enjoy their voices. Fav song: Shadrach Least fav: The Sounds of Science

Sort of enjoyed a few of the early tracks but then it started to become far too repetitive for me. A couple of the songs I found difficult to listen to all the way through. Found some fun to dance to, but wouldn’t listen to the album again. Fav song: Music Makes You Lose Control Least fav: From: Disco To: Disco

I was surprised that I already knew some of these songs. Really enjoyed the album, thought her voice was gorgeous and there was a nice range of tracks to keep it interesting. Fav song: Doo Wop (That Thing) Least fav: Everything Is Everything

This one was good to listen to while working and I imagine it’s also good for a bad mood. Enjoyed the album more than I was expecting to after the first song which was my least favourite. Fav song: Atlantic City - I also liked Open All Night and Reason to Believe Least fav: Nebraska

I liked how upbeat these songs were, but the introductions often made me think the songs would be different and then I would have preferred to hear the song the intros made me think was coming. I think for me the vocals didn’t feel like they matched the rest of the music. Still enjoyed it and the more I listened the less I felt jarred by the difference in their vocals to what I was expecting, but it did feel a bit repetitive/ the songs were quite similar. Fav song: We Got The Beat Least fav: Skidmarks On My Heart

Liked the album - sometimes found the songs a bit repetitive but I enjoyed the music and the vocals so it mostly didn’t bother me. Nice to have some references to where I grew up, gave it a bit of a nostalgic feeling.

I thought the early songs were upbeat and energetic and fun and the slower songs were just beautiful and really gave the space to show off his voice. Struggled to pic a favourite as I think it would be so mood dependent whether I would prefer a slower or more upbeat song. Not sure when I would reach for this as an album though as I think if you’re in the mood for one part you’re probably not in the mood for the other. Fav song: Let the Good Times Roll - also liked Don’t Let the Sun Catch You Crying Least fav: Tell Me You’ll Wait for Me

I liked this one a lot more on a second listen. I struggled a bit with the mix, I wanted to be able to hear the vocals more clearly, but the more I listened the less that bothered me. Some parts I really didn’t like on the first listen I started to enjoy on the second, or at least not hate and there were a lot of songs I liked the first time that I loved the second time. Fav song: The Jean Genie - also liked Drive in Saturday and Panic in Detroit Least fav: Aladdin Sane

I quite liked this one. Felt like there was some decent variation between songs although some were definitely more my thing than others. Fav song: Girl from Mars Least fav: Darkside Lightside

Not really my genre. Enjoyed parts of it but often found the songs just too long and repetitive. Probably wouldn’t listen again but I did like it more than I initially thought I would. Fav song: Science Friction - this one and Kein Trink Wasser have bits in the melody that remind me of the soundtrack to sci-fi podcast Wolf 359 which is probably why I liked them. Least fav: Forever

Listened to this while on a walk, initially in the sunshine. When it started to tip it down it didn’t initially compute with me because the music felt so sunny. Enjoyed it a lot but probably wouldn’t listen to the whole album through again. Fav song: Part III-Newport Up - Live Least fav: Part I-Festival Junction
