First song feels weak in lyrics. The second is a bit stronger but is massively helped by better music. I Have Forgiven Jesus feels more personal and introspective and works well. This continues nicely in Come back to Camden. This back and forth continues through the album. The First of the Gang is a clear standout as a single.

For the first half I wanted different mixes of most of the songs. The second half picked up and was an enjoyable ambient group of songs.

It was relaxing by the end, but didn't stand out to me.

Enjoyable album. I can't help but think that the faster songs are the ones that kick in the a 90s action film when something cool is about to go down.

It's most famous song is right at the start. I thought it would make the rest of the listening dull by comparison, but was happy that wasn't the case. It's a fun, easy album. For me the first two songs are still the strongest. I had thought Something about you was the closing song and probably would have preferred that it was.

Nice and chilled back hip hop. Really easy to listen to. High 3.

It was difficult at times with the deliberately discordant parts, but overall a nice listen to something a bit more experimental. Parts of it felt like it would fit with later Radiohead. I'd listen again and would check out what else he had

Blue orchid is great. Feels like Marc Bolan would approve. The Nurse calms it down again before upping the fun again with My Doorbell. Really like the way the words spit out. Little Ghost is fun but the ones around don't leave much impression on me until Take, Take, Take. It was difficult to get into at the start but by the end of the song I enjoyed it. I'd skip Red Rain. I'm Lonely is a good ending.

Overall strong album. Although Mama Gave Birth to the Soul Children's voice effect went on too long for me at the end of the song. Would happily work or workout to this.

I liked the album and I would happily just put on to listen the whole way through again (and would have on if having people over). Take me to the river was the one that stood out this listen, which I feel a bit bad about as it's a cover.

First half was strange and fun in places, but not consistently enough for me. Then the second half is okay, but feels all over the place with only half an album left to establish anything. I liked the more melodic parts, however nothing stuck with me.

They were a bombastic band from the start. Maybe because of the skill and experience they already had, but it feels like they were a fantastic, fully formed idea from the beginning. I would have felt like the cool kid for sure if I put this on at a party when it came out. Although it would have been hard not to break that illusion as I would have probably done some air guitar at some point. Would have been amazing to see live.

I really enjoyed it and would happily have on again. I can't remember thinking a particular song must be the single, but that wasn't a bad thing.

A mixed bag. The singles still feel strong, Fucking in Heaven felt like a lad culture throwback, and then the others were between fun and forgettable. Love Island and Acid 8000 were pleasant surprises near the end.

A great mix of personal/love songs with the more political. An album I'll enjoy listening to again and again to pick up more and more on the lyrics.

I like the music more than the vocals and lyrics. My energy wained by 666 edit. I can imagine it being used in a spin class nowadays. On the songs with less vocals, it fit for focussed working. At those 90s raves I can imagine this going down well. I don't think I would listen to without ear/headphones. The "move any mountain" across different tracks becomes repetitive.

A solid album. In my head I remember "God Only Knows", then it comes on and it's so much better.

Came out when I was 16 and was listened to by those who didn't just go for pop music. They feel like another wave of New York effortless cool. There's a lot of fun riffs/sections; really liked the singles and the opening song.

Great album. Songs have a good variation from one to the next make it engaging the whole way through.

Fun and fast punk.

Has some fun moments. It was pretty easy to listen to and inoffensive. Didn't strike me as much as some other more well known Rush songs.

Rock 'n' Roll star is a great energy opening. A lot of the happiness I get from this is probably nostalgia. I didn't play Oasis songs but heard the album a lot with my brother. As a result I didn't over listen to it since and it comes as a nice return.

Feels like it should be listened in summer. Which it is. Scooby snacks was still fun despite it being overplayed in my university halls (with one person always acting it out...). The second half wore thin (including the what a wonderful world cover) and easily forgettable until the last two.

A comfort album. So many great singles coming together with the other tracks holding their own like "Elizabeth my dear" using the traditional ballad Scarborough fair.

The beginning was a hard listen hearing the mindset of a teenager so crude and toxic (in their toxic world). The music was good and I like there being a journey over the album. I think I would have to listen a few times to appreciate more of the arc. I

Fun and silly psychedelic rock.

I preferred the instrumental songs over the ones with vocals. A really interesting album to relax into.

They deliver exactly what you expect. It keeps a fast (galloping) pace throughout the album. The songs are unapologetically over the top, silly and fun. If you're in the right zone when listening, the fun carries over. If not, it's eye-rolling and record switching time.

Lovely and engaging start with "mining for gold". Drifted into music I'd expect to be live background for a restaurant on a summer's evening. When returning we'd say something like "that was really nice, wasn't it?" To each other whilst realising we had had 2 bottles of wine between us and a strong aperitif.

Hard to get over his voice being so synonymous with Toy Story in the first song. After that their are some interesting songs in topics, however I suspect I would find more to connect with in later albums.

Very interesting and needs more listens.

With the band it has a "full" rock and roll sound. That fullness was maybe too consistent for me. On first listen I don't really connect with the lyrics for many of the songs on this album, however it feels like there will be more to get out of some with multiple listens.

I've not really listened to this sort of music before. If I could dance I could imagine the songs on a night at club. It had the ones you bring out your best moves on, and then ones you sit and catch your breath, then there are those where you just watch the band have fun. Holiday was a cheeky change that feels like an extended theme tune of a TV series in the 50s. I might have preferred if 'Blues a La Machito' had come earlier on the album.

Musically I think it's quite beautiful, however I have a low tolerance for his cynical view of the world and people around him so often without much light. That said, I felt Lifeguard sleeping, girl drowning was a strong modern folk song with lovely use of wind instruments. And Speedway was a good finish. I'm thinking a 3 for me.

The sound feels unique. After Poison Arrow, I found it hard to plug into the particulars of the songs (except The Look of Love PT 1), until the change of pace with 'All of My Heart'. 4 Ever 2 gether also stands out and the last two songs are both fun returns (Although I don't think Theme from "Mantrap" was on the original release)
