Few redeeming features here. Meaningless songs, uninteresting guitar. Finished the album with a flute FFS.

Thankfully not too much of his cheesy shit on this one

Superb. Still superb.

Superb. Still superb.

Not for me this. The three famous ones are all decent but the rest is a load of rubbish.

Happy Dad memories

Absolute French art school nonsense

Beatles rip off in places. Less cringe than some of their stuff but overall not too bad.

CLOLassic

Too much trumpet

A challenging listen. Not terrible

Still great

Decent drum n bass, not too heavy, listenable

Crap 80s soul

Classic 60s guitar wankery

No no no. NO

Superb this. Only knew 2 songs but whole album very good

Quite enjoyable, a little self indulgent in places

Uninteresting prog

A classic but a little cheesier than I remembered

Trying a bit hard with the folky sing alongs. Ok in places

Awful bland soul

Some weird rambling stories but generally very good

Over rated. Boring songs, very samey, annoying crowd interaction

Wall of noise. Not very tuneful

Classic blues

Nice!

First listen to a full Specials album - outstanding. Great fun.

Trying so hard to recreate Beatles magic. Fails

Average and samey

A real surprise. Very influential

Never heard of the band or any of these songs. Very average 60s guitar

Knew more than I expected. Genre busting

Probably a classic of the blues genre but not really my bag

Would have liked to be there

Still a bit annoying

Some classics on here

Some classics on here but album ruined by self indulgent no sense

Overly weird for the sake of it. Ok when he sings like a norm

Great apart from the random 10 minute chanting track

Didn’t know any of these songs, but very decent album

Very very flamingo

Never heard of this lot. Vocals a bit FNM. Guitars more hair metal

Very laid back and mellow, a little dull in places

First half repetitive trumpet. Second half repetitive miserable ballads

Repetitive chanting nonsense

Not even in Beck’s top 1001 albums

Surprised this made the cut. Nothing memorable here

Very non offensive

Nice!

Surprised this was controversial. Just afrobeat jazz

Camp and overblown

Didn’t recognise much of this but very decent

Definitely U2 at their most credible

One of the weaker jazz albums on here. Quirky vocals, derivative music

Yeah still as annoying as I remember

A bit bland and generic

Classic

Would be best album of all time if Yellow Submarine wasn’t on there

Very disappointing. Just ambient noise in places

80s tastic

Don’t know any of these songs but really like it. Can see where Gang of Youths got their inspiration

A mixed bag. Would listen again (and need to)

Good guitarist but the funk puns are beyond tiring

Superb, their best output by a long way

Rubbish

Absolute filth

Patchy. In no way a classic. Bad singer

One of my favourites. Works together seamlessly, part seedy part uplifting.

Classic blues

Awful tuneless nonsense

Not good. Generic slimy RnB
