I had forgotten how good this is. The standout is Donβt Give Up. Absolute goosebumps with that track!
Never heard of them before despite them apparently being an influence on some reasonably big-hitters. 60s rock and blues standards done well in a fairly raw style. It was an easy listen but not one I would probably reach for again.
Not really my usual style of music. I can absolutely appreciate the quality and creativity of the music delivered, but it feels a bit too much of an era and style that just don't appeal that much.
Excellent album. New to me as I am only really familiar with their Best Of (although a lot of it seems to be from here!)
Not the album of theirs that I would have chosen, but it is still a really good one.
I'd forgotten how fun and lively this album was, so it's been a welcome reintroduction
Not really my style, but I could appreciate the quality of production. I actually enjoyed reading about the story behind the album more than the album itself
Still a band that I donβt really understand all the love for. Doesnβt help that I really donβt like Thom Yorkeβs vocals. This one at least has familiarity on its side because everyone was playing it when it came out.
Still a great catchy album, but they are not a great band
Logically, I know that they must have made albums, but because of that one ubiquitous and unavoidable single, I had never thought to check out their other stuff. Surprisingly good as it turns out
Definitely better than I expected, but still not really my sort of thing
I feel like I should have discovered this years ago. Excellent to find it now at least. Definitely going to get more listens soon
Yet another band that have been solely Best Of collections for me, so I donβt think I have ever listened to most of their albums. Overall for this one, it didnβt really rise above or add much to the songs I already knew
The deliberately contrived cheeky Cockney vocal stylings grate a little bit (ββ¦lazy Sunday afternoon-ahβ¦β), especially when compared to the more grandiose style elsewhere. Musically and creatively, itβs really interesting but it gets at least a point knocked off for the Stanley Unwin interludes and the aforementioned London-boy vocals.
Surprised me how much I enjoyed this, but not the sort of album I would be likely to return to
Not something I would have chosen, but I enjoyed enough of this to feel it needs revisiting in future
Absolute classic and still their best, in my opinion
Sheβs got a fantastic voice, but I found this album bland back then, and I still found it bland now
Never heard of before, and very unlikely to revisit again in future. Just not my thing at all. Felt like elevator music with occasionally raised BPM
Iβm a sucker for a lot of Paul McCartneyβs stuff and this one is probably peak among his non-Beatles output.
A little disappointed by this to be honest. Given how revered they seem to be among music lovers, I struggled to find much exceptional about it. Itβs good, very listenable, but ultimately a little bit average
A classic even on its release, sounding unique among its contemporaries
Another of those popular beat combos. Iβm sure theyβll never amount to anything π
Smooth easy listen, but ultimately washed over me more than grabbed me
I really should revisit this more often
I was just a bit too young to properly appreciate them at the time, so it was good to hear this one and find that they were just as good on their album tracks as their iconic singles
Obviously influential and iconic, itβs not an album I have reached for too often over the years. Deserves more attention than I have given it really though
Not sure I have ever heard a note from her. Turns out I have been missing out
Puts the L in LP. Tediously misogynistic and homophobic content overwhelm admittedly catchy backing tracks. His delivery is excellent but the content is often vile
