my problematic fave. look, i know that he was not a good guy ok, and some of these lyrics - i am looking at you 'jealous guy' - are just awful. despite the fact, this album is a bit of an all time greatest and i continue to be very impressed by it. sorry everyone.

the blue nile are a very special band to me so i am overjoyed to start this project with this album. the breakdown of tinseltown in the rain has to be one of my favourite pieces of music possibly ever and it has been so interesting to see how it fits into the context of the rest of the album. They just have the most beautiful, distinctive sound and we have not heard anything quite like it since. Marvellous. I love Glasgow and I love Glasweigian artists.

I wasn't as struck by this, though I appreciate that for a debut album it is remarkable. I think it is an excellent album, just is not to my personal taste.

Just an absolute magnum opus. One of the most stunning albums, so well done.

This one surprised me! I enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would. While there were some misses - I didn't love 'On any other day' - and while the transitions were a bit messy, for the most part it was very pleasant, distinctive, pop music

This is not my usual kind of music, but is undeniably brilliant and it's influence across much of the music that has been released since is evident. Did enjoy this actually, very very cool. Very nice to study to.

i just did not vibe with this one and also it did just go on and on

unfortunately i did not dig this at all. two flops in a row. sad!

unironically i had a phase where i was completely obsessed with this album, and i can only imagine how impactful this would have been at the time of release. i loved this. i appreciate that i am not the target audience, being white and middle class and from rural ireland, but god this is excellent.

this is a brilliant album - can't believe i'd never listened to it the whole way through before. made my little indie heart very happy

this is not my usual kind of music (and i listen to everything) - but the aesthetics are undeniably very cool and it did fit my current finals hellscape mindset. titular track was fantastic, definitely the highlight for me. good show.

a mix of some absolutely brilliant songs and some totally awful ones. not overly impressed with it as an album but still grateful to have discovered some of the songs

this was so good!! i love the pixies but i hardly knew any of this album before today. very brilliant.

i love glasgow i wish it was real. to be honest though, was overjoyed to see this album today when i am a long time primal scream appreciator and with 13 days to finals i really need the radical optimism of 'movin on up' to start the day

this is THE pixies album - such a treat for the ears, their sound is just remarkable and it has been so interesting to hear this album with the fresh perspective into the development of their sound from their earlier work. bigly enjoyed.

this is an interesting album, definitely didn't hate it. some excellent songs, maybe not an album i'll come back to but certainly will come back to some of the songs.

too chill for me, unfortunately i am too into lyrics and synthesisers to be able to fully appreciate this

Honestly absolutely no notes. This album is just perfect. Stunning. Socially cohesive. Socially relevant and self-aware. Fascinating to listen to in 2025 and realise the same discontent and dissaffection literally still exists today (and is actally maybe even worse. Goosebumps. Probably my favourite album so far.

this was magical. funkadelic are one of my favourite discoveries of this year. wish id discovered them earlier.

This was fun and I did enjoy it. I could tell instantly how influential this album has been for songwriting in the years and decades that followed it, with it's residual influence still heard today. The only drawback for me was how 'samey' the songs sounded, with the formulaic production and writing style making them all blend together a little. Love Buddy Holly's voice though, such a shame he died so young.

this was just brilliant. succinct. marvellous. rest in peace brian wilson we will never look upon your like again.

ABBA in 1976 were incapable of making a bad song it would seem. pop music at its very best.

i do think this is really cool and i saw and enjoyed what they were trying to do with it. i think i am just not in the headspace for this right at this moment but it is definitely one i will revisit i think.

I have always been intimidated by David Bowie's albums, even though I love many of the individual songs on this album. This exceeded my already high expectations, it didn't feel like there was a note misplaced, and sandwiching such a sonic experience in between Young Americans the song and Fame was just perfection. Loved this.

this was just excellent music, very much enjoyed it. can't believe how late to the party i am with Santana.

im surprised i didn't stumble across this one sooner, with my penchant for sad girls. very interesting, very 90s. i didn't dislike it.

just not my kind of music i think

actually really enjoyed the music, didnt enjoy the misogyny, but most of the other identity related themes were well explored and musically it was so tight

girl who is about to get way too in to nick drake (i loved this)

this is another one of these pretty brilliant pop albums, again, regrettable about the artist. really enjoyed this, the production is so distinctive and songs like 'the way you make me feel' just feel like pure joy and remind me of my childhood in a big way weirdly (i was born in 2001)
