Decent guitar but god awful singing...blues should be all about soulful melodies, and emotionally charged lyrics of hardship, struggle, resilience and lament. The original tracks had none of that and the singing was so bad I wanted to stop listening after the first track. However I carried on mainly to hear how Clapton faired in a mediocre band but having finished it I wish I hadn't. There's a lot of anti-clapton sentiment in the reviews because of the person he is and rightly so. As an artist he's overrated, sure he can play guitar but was he any better than his UK peers during his peak, such as Gilmour, Page, Beck, Townsend, May...nope.
Amazing live performance

Haunting and mellow with great musicality....production is very good. 4/5
Awesome debut album.. loved it
This surprised me as I wasn't expecting to like it as much as I did. For a debut album it's pretty flawless from track to track.
Bordering on musical narrative this is complex, dark & deep but oh so pretentious
1 decent track, the rest are drowned out by awful over production probably because they just don't play good music.
Fabulous album from start to finish, the bonus tracks were great too. The punk influence was still prominent but the guitar work took it to the next level and you can see how this has been an inspiration to up and coming bands into the 90's and 00's.
This is an amazing piece of work by 4 premier artists who were on another level. The fact that it was done in one take with little to no practice is insane. Beautiful work
Lovely album. Raw and emotional, Otis had a very unique gift that hit the heartstrings on every listen.

Great debut album
Disappointed by this, bland and sterile.
First listen I liked it, however it lacked energy and drive to be a good album. Second listen it was very boring.
Good record, quite alot of musical variety here which was interesting. This came on my list the day after Ozzy decided to go on his way.
Did not resonate with me at all......why is it on the list
For a 2 person band this is awesome, his voice has alot of bluesy punk and the guitar work is fantastic. Haven't heard much of White Stripes but will definitely check out their backlog now.
You would think after 17 albums they would know what good sounds like..... clearly not. T
This was a surprisingly good listen, his voice range was impressive especially the lower end where he rumbles and resonates. More like country blues than folk, loved it. His earlier blues album is also excellent.
Strong A side but weak B side evens it out to a 3. You would have thought after all those hits behind him he would know how to balance out an album but for me the B side was really bad fillers.
Legacy album that set the standards for the electro genre. They developed and used new tech to such amazing effect for this album and this is all pre computers.
Solid Gold. Wonderful lyrics, fantastic music and arrangements. Her voice is so beautifully natural, top notes are delicate and soft, mid range is deep and mesmerising, and low range is raw and nasty. She has a big mix of bluesy, soulful, jazzy, and country folk all mixed up. Amazing album by the UK's best female singer songwriter ever.
Solid 3, enjoyed the album but no standouts for me
Lovely album. The first side, although full of big classic hits, doesn't flow well and it sounds like a compilation. The second side fixed that and has some beautiful, bittersweet, and complex tracks.
First 3 tracks were fun but his voice got annoying very quickly, then the instrumental track kicked in which I liked alot. But the whining voice detracted from the music to a point where it had an affect like nails on a chalkboard. Shame.
Wonderful album, lyrics and delivery is excellent. Soulfully haunting in places
Couple of good tracks but it's mostly vitriolic lyrics set to repetitive boring beats, very difficult to listen to.
Awesome album. His lyrical genius really comes through and with the band he stands out as a really good frontman. Love it
