Fun, punchy, garage rock with some undeniable bangers, but you've heard one song you've heard them all. Sounds a bit like every advert from 2002-2005. 6.8/10
Pretty boring album, title track and Here I Am are bangers though. 6/10
Riffs, just loads of mint riffs. 8/10
Very shit, pure cheese and at times a pretty difficult listen. I like the music, but Jeff Lynne has to shut up sometimes. CNF 2.1/10
One of the very best skate punk albums, so many bangers. It sounds so much like 1994. 8.5/10
What can you say really???? Faultless? Could listen to it all day on repeat, its going to be the first 5 star.
Pretty bonkers this was 1969, so influential, such an important bit of music. 4.3/5.
Top 3 Jazz albums of all time for me, sounds like psychedelic big band jazz from hell. Feels like you're in a nightmare sequence in a 1940s Disney movie.
Suedehead is right up there with some of the best songs Morrissey has written, but the rest is pretty average I think. It’s an album that like most of Morrissey's solo output asks the question, “Why the fuck am I not listening to the Smiths?”
His best work. So massive, I can’t really explain how much it means to me. Poor boy might be my favourite song of all time. It’s another 5.
Its italian-american spaghetti and meatball-core classics, I want to be in a restaurant called Gino's whilst i listen to this. It's a lot of fun, but its pretty samey as well.
I like it, its obviously a great album, but why does everyone talk about how good it is all the time? There are better drum and bass albums from this time?
Not really my cup of tea, it sounds a bit more like a SNL sketch of a hardcore band than anything. I appreciate how influential they are but they have never really done anything for me. Not a lot of stand outs but i did like World up my Ass. 2.2/5
Love the beginning, love the end, but the middle lacks quite a bit i feel. It feels illegal to give a Beatles album a 3 star but here we are? Fixing a hole through to within you without you ranges from boring, to just quite annoying. Such an incredible opening four songs though, just banger after banger. Best Tracks: With a little help from my friends or when I'm Sixty Four. 3.5/5
Its maybe the greatest just pure prog album of all time, the intersection of so many genres. Obviously quite a busy listen, and i haven't listened to it the whole way through in a while, but i had so much fun listening to it again. 4.5/5
A lovely listen, some high peaks but some middle of the road stuff as well. Really liked Part of a whole and Nomali 3.9/5
Maybe the greatest hipster coffee shop album of all time. Its so listenable, but at times maybe a bit too listenable where it borders on boring. 4.1/5
Never before have men from England sounded so much like Super Furry Animals. A really fun and interesting album, think there is a bit of a lull in the middle but other than that it was absolutely class. 4.5/5
Absolute grot if I'm honest. The only redeeming factor is love in an elevator, because that song is massive. I'm shocked this is on the list. 1.5/5
It’s not my favourite talking heads albums if I’m honest, it’s good, but I don’t even reach for this album, some obvs highlights like take me to the river and the big country
Better than Rumours IMO, its just so many bangers in a row. Personal fav is The Ledge, a me and Eva CLASSIC that.
Massive stuff, really love the title track. What a voice this man has. 4.8/5
What can you fucking say
I know you’ll hate me for this. But it’s really bad, it’s fart rock, it’s the worst front man of all time and a guy shredding. It’s a band I never understood, I hate the songs Jump and Hot for teacher so fucking much. It’s 1980s USA capitalism and cocaine rock, 4th of July BBQ-core. Pls don’t leave me.
Controversially, I don’t like this album that much, Ashcrofts voice does my head in and I don’t think he’s a very good song writer. It’s also fucking LONG. But saying that, bittersweet symphony is arguably the greatest British song of all time. 2.5/5
The greatest ever songwriter at the peak of his powers. There isn’t a bad track on here. It’s a sexy, jazzy folky love story about love by an absolute powerhouse and a bizarre nutter to boot. Couldn’t pick a favourite track, genuinely impossible. 6/5
Very nice album, but not their best IMHO. Some obvious standouts, but I don't love this album loads. The State i am in might be there best ever song though? And there is some stiff competition there. 3.8/5
Pusherman is one of the coolest songs of all time. Why do we not exist in a time now where mint artists made albums for movies? 4.2/5
Its an easy 5, its so good. Maybe one of his best albums, you can sill here the influence of this album today. Fair to say no grunge without this album?
Impossibly hard to listen to, the most irritating vocalist of all time, woo-ing and yeah-ing, and huh-ing through some quite irritating guitar flourishes. Some of the solos are fun i suppose. I guess this album is good in a way because it doesn't include Hot for Teacher or Jump. The shoobadoowah's in I'm the one are a particular low point. Ice Cream Man might be one of the worse songs we have had to listen to so far. It sounds like worse Aerosmith with better guitar. I didn't mind Atomic Punk at all though. Tom's Review - 0.75/5 Eva's Review - "I can see why a young boy would like this." Little dreamer is good, but Ice Cream Man knocked a few points off. 3/5
I mean, it’s kind of fun. It’s mainly bad but there are some fun tracks in here. It doesn’t really sound like anything else, it’s his own white trash nu metal funk hip hop that shouldn’t work but sort of does. Batwidaba is the obvious standout, but there’s a lot of fluff
Class album, so many highlights. Changes, Oh! You Pretty Thing, Kooks and Queen Bitch are phenomenal songs. You could argue Life on Mars is one of the defining songs of the 70s. Crazy that this isnt even in my top 5 Bowie albums. Saying that, the bad songs on this album are pretty bad, Andy Warhol, Quicksand and the Bewlay Brothers are just not good songs, which knocks a bit off shine off the album. 4.2/5
Dull, crap soul sung by a bloke with a stupid little voice. Really tough listen, its the music of the aunt your family doesn't really see that much anymore. 1/5
The coolest fucking album in the world. I wish I was in the studio with them doing coke and drinking whiskey. The ultimate vibe of jazz-rock-pop every one is on top form and just killing it, the drum solo in Aja is phenomenal, but that's what you get from Steve Gadd. Best Song: Peg, an absolute masterpiece, Michael McDonald on backing vocals with a voice like big hairy angel.
Such a cool album, so funky and trippy and weird. This is the peak of his cocaine powers, when he was eating 1 red pepper and drinking 1 glass of milk a day and grams of cocaine. Bands still want to sound like this so bad. Best song: Sound and Vision, my favourite Bowie song.
Its a kind of music that does nothing for me if i am honest, but saying that if you are after an 80s synthpop album you could do a lot worse than this one. Best song is Rio obviously. 3.8/5
Its fucking good stuff ennit, Bert Jansch is the GOAT.
"Sunday Bloody Sunday". What a great song. It really encapsulates the frustration of a Sunday, doesn't it? You wake up in the morning, you've got to read all the Sunday papers, the kids are running round, you've got to mow the lawn, wash the car, and you think "Sunday, bloody Sunday!" 3/5
Not as good as i remember, at its best its very Serge Gainsbourg, at its worst it was quite boring. I imagine it was mint in 2002 though.
Imagine us the most saccharine wanky song of all time, but the rest of the album is fine. It’s not got a lot of highlights or lowlights it’s just fine
Not a very album, but Tiny Dancer is massive. It is definitely not his best album
Its hard to think of a better song than Babylon. The whole album is just incredible though he's such a good song writer. 4.8/5
It's the greatest Jazz album of all time. Cannonball Adderley, James Cobb, John Coltrane, Bill Evans, Miles Davis???? The most talented group of blokes that have ever existed. This album just feels like blokes who know what they are doing and know they are onto something huge. Blue in Green is insane, but i dont think i can pick a favourite. Imagine hearing this in 1959 in some dingy fucking bar in New York. Transportive and atmospheric and just genius music. 100/5
