I think I’d rather listen to actual sand

My (joint) top favourite album of all time

They should have just made a pop punk skate album

Absolute horn dog

Makes me wanna punch my neighbour’s baby through my bedroom wall

I think I’d rather listen to actual sand

If it wasn’t for the technical ability of the guitar playing, this album with its two 20 minute tracks can get fucked

Up the harmonicas

They really didn’t need to be doing all that

This gets an extra star for its connection to Father Ted

Fuck this restaurant music

Electric Shite Orchestra

I am gaye for this album

Vocals sound like they were recorded while sat on a washing machine on full blast or some shit

This album just sounds like if Randy Newman’s “You’ve Got a Friend in Me” was written and recorded by Buffalo Springfield or some other country folk rock band

Somewhat lost on me - feels too dated but it’s been rounded up to a 2 because of the Kate Bush feature

Perfect name for a guy with a forgettable album

I’d rather listen to their Flash Gordon tune 11 times consecutively than listen to this nonsense again

That Black Sabbath sample goes so hard

Sounds like that one scene in Happy Gilmore where he tries to go to his happy place and his gran is necking on with Gene Simmons, or like a rock opera version of Thunder Road by Springsteen

A fairly decent album let down by their nonce singer scat-rapping

4.5 cos of The Battle of Evermore but fuck it I’ll round it up

Undoubtedly an unreal album if you like jazz but it’s not for me

My (joint) top favourite album of all time

One of the 🐐

Aside from the odd track I’d rather just listen to an actual fucking brick wall

Overrated - I’d rather just read her lyrics than have to listen to her Also surprised she didn’t name this album “Black” considering how much she loved blackface

The type of shite dull Britpop that makes me thankful Nirvana’s “I Hate Myself and I Want to Die” exists Also, The Verve really aren’t interesting enough to be having hidden tracks

The bass playing absolutely slaps but that’s sadly about it aside from the odd tune

Much like Queen, they’re a band that people seem to love but I’ll genuinely never understand the fascination with them

A rush of blood to the head is the opposite to the experience I had when listening to this album - it couldn’t even inspire a rush of blood to my little toe

Rage Against The Machine if they were angry at their parents for confiscating their Xbox, not capitalism

Fuckin love Pavement me

Tories not welcome Fuck off Rod

4.5 rounded up cos the last tune slightly lets it down but fuckin awesome nonetheless

This album reminds me of that scene in Spider-Man 3 where Peter Parker starts cutting shapes with Gwen Stacy at the jazz bar Mary Jane is working at to make her jealous

I think the most offensive thing about these fuckers is the fact they’re so inoffensive
