Singing in tune might help the cause.

Interesting Album.

Overrated. Some boring stuff on this album. Saved by a couple of good songs

Loved listening to this album. I knew the song Criminal.

A little bit dated in 2025. And the songs are all haphazard.

Couple of good songs. Pretty bland and very dated otherwise.

Overrated

Great mix of songs. Very impressed.

Love this album one of his best.

Some good songs and you can see where they were headed.

Not My Cup of Tea, pretty bland music.

Some great songs, just falls short of a perfect album

Some great poetry put into songs on this album by the wordsmith.

Each song very good, but as an album there is no light and shade. Every song sounds similar and as an album becomes tiresome to listen too.

A couple of classic songs and some mediocre. Not enough to lift it to more than two stars.

Love the texture and sound. No electric gizmos and pure talent on show. Some expert playing. Very smooth.

1990' and sounding like the Beatles, The Monkees, The Kinks, a couple of fair songs nothing outstanding for me on this album.

Didn't want to like this album. It was a little bit of a surprise that had its moments. Not much light and shade and its a repetitive sound. Some good hooks and interesting lyrics throughout.

Interesting Layers - Hooks and Lines. Not one of his better works.

Average songs that are over produced.

Some songs needed to be shorter. Some unmusical stuff and too much distortion. Some good songs in there.

Great album, awesome singing and lovely Sax and horn work.

Not heard this album before. Some good tracks on there. Worth a listen again.

Never a big Airplane fan. Some great songs on this let down by the production as it sounds like it was recorded in a bathroom....

Excellent album 4.5 stars.

Love the textures on this album.

Light and Shade. A classic.

Lacklustre. Shoegazing. Quite a boring listen.

Rubbish!!!

Exceptionally good album. Forgot how good it was. Except incorrect examples of Irony which I wanted to mark down, minor in the scheme of things. Love the edginess of the songs. Great guitar and harmonica.

Some good interspersed with some average or poor ones. Rather indulgent.

Love it. Great songs, dark subjects. Great debut album.

Some great songs and some just sound the same.

One of their best.

Interesting and great back story. Not much substance to the songs.

Singing in tune might help the cause.

Brilliant Album. Forgot how good it is.

Obviously an acquired taste.

Sublime. Great Harmonies and guitar work. Timeless.

Surprisingly good.

Very good production.

Obviously an acquired taste. Bland songs and grating vocals.

Great variety on this album. Not listened to it for a long time.

The album meanders and lacks any vibe. Some individual songs are ok and as an album doesn't command attention.

Has its place. No stand out tracks and as an album hangs together well.

The back story is more interesting than the album itself.

Some good songs mostly average

No where near as good as Closer. Very much a garage band at this stage and better things to come.

Some interesting work here.

Sounds like a work out for a new James Bond movie. Has its moments and lacks credibility.

Boring. Pretentious.

Pretty boring. A great deal of repetition of songs. Same formula. Soft section with mumbling, followed by distorted 8 bars back to mumble and soft passages.

Masterpiece

Forgot how good this album is. Deceptively simple songs with great delivery.

Close to a 5. Two of my Fave R.E.M songs on this album.

One or two good songs. That's about it.

Better than I thought it would be. Some songs drag this down.

Disappointing. One or two good tracks.

A bit dated. And simple lyrics.

Not as good as some of thee other recordings.

Got my Mojo working......

A little dated. Best of Hits for other artists.

Enjoyable listen.
