Solid live album. Couple of bottles of vino and hang on the couch with your love. Disc one is non stop high octane, disc 2 winds you down nice for the late evening. Too long
The hits are fantastic, the rest of the album lacks. Great album that's a product of its time but not to my taste
It really wasn't to my taste. Her voice is incredible, but not one song gripped me. Maybe I wasn't in the mood and missed this one here as she is so revered by all
Great production, phenomenal voice. Easy listening and a great all round album.
Turn it up! What a cracker. My cat hated it, he's not known for having the best music taste. Jazz for any time of the day. I will be back. Takes you away, beyond understanding and demands you let go of the steering wheel
Many of us were lucky that this album was incredibly formulative in our younger years. Be it a pure nostalgia piece, or the album/band that kick started what is the shape of our music taste today. Hearing this in your teens, within the first ten years of its release changed an insatiable amount of lives. I can't think of a single album since that had the same affect.
A punk album that became popular, not written to be popular and still holds up today. It's been at least 15 years since my last listen and it still holds strong today. Just a damn good time
Plays it safe, bit middle of the road. Can't deny that voice though. Plenty of cliche lyrics. Easy to listen to though and inoffensive, steadily worsens the further your go. Final song is a highlight
One of the best, catchy as hell and plenty of repeatability. Fantastic first album for a band (and artist) who has given the music world so much
Mixed bag, but overall fantastic and enjoyable. Some big tracks on this album that hit hard in the best way
So much fun!
Enjoying it more than I expected. Individually songs don't overly grip me, but works together as a while album incredibly. Catchy
All the hits, good fun of an album. For me a product of its singles and intentionally made in that way. As far as pop goes it's a shining star
Quintessential
Absolutely nothing does it for me here. Great voice, but it does not make up for lousy arrangements and average lyrics. Personally found it boring
Fantastic psych rock album that was clearly ahead of its time
Rated it. Nothing ground breaking but an easy listening record. Dwindles towards the end
My first Dylan album, an artist to this point I've eased on listening to as I know it will only lead to a deep dive. This was great. I will comfortably say if I give this another listen I'll never be able to turn it off
Easy listening, good tracks I couldn't help but bop along to. Unique feel to his music that's still as refreshing today
Fun pop punk record. Couple cracker tunes, then a couple dull songs. Middle of the road for me but one can't argue the influence it ended up having. Great production, very well executed but all a bit samey
I'm a casual Metallica listener, so I enjoyed this but was a long slog to get through. I enjoyed them not stripping the songs back, but subsequently nothing was added to the songs for me. They're so tight here and all members are top of form
One of the all times, a classic that never gets old
Probably not the album that is going to get me into the boss. He sounds lonely, the lyrics are unoriginal and compositions a bit boring
Not bad! Some great tracks, some ok songs. Probably wouldn't sit through the whole album again
Is it cheesy? Absolutely. Is it dated? Most definitely. But damn it's a good time. Will always have a soft spot for this album, and although the lyricism can be hit or miss, the musicianship is on point. And what a finishing track!
There's nothing here to be excited about. All run of the mill from the vocals to the instrumentals, the melodies and the lyrics. A couple songs with percussion were partially interesting but couldn't save hearing an artist who enjoys nothing more than the sound of their own voice.
Very cool. Definitely dug it
Not bad, fun! Drags on a bit
Amazing album, one of pure nostalgia. Never understood the flack it cops, or also the mass appeal but it's well rounded and easy to spin
Bit up and down as all white stripes albums are, but so many crackers on here. Some of my favourite songs on from them here
Misses out on 5 from me as the first few songs didn't hit, also heavily 80's style drum production isn't my favourite but then this album shifts! Love the fiddle and as a whole the album finds itself in a bizarre realm. Not as out there as I'd expected but will get another spin
Ooft. Painful and boring
A simpler time, easy and enjoyable listening. Bit repetitive but love the product of its time
Another Stella album. Thank you almost drops it down to a 4, but the rest of the album is up there with some of their best. Killer band with a killer run
It's ok, nothing ground breaking for me and a bit slower to some of the Beck tunes I've liked before. Quite long as well, not bad by any means
What a wild ride, needs more than one listen. I can't pin where I want this album, the last track was the ultimate climax and best track. I think I'll be back, so much to unpack
Long time Nick Cave fan, but never delved into the Birthday Party. I loved this, it's raw energy and thrash is fantastic. More of this!
Kicks here and there but too long to hold attention
Something else this record, incredible stuff. Blend of everything and anything. Legendary
Great 60s record. The hits are classic, easy listening for the rest
Absolutely bonkers. This album is all over the place. I can't believe it's as revered amongst the mainstream as it is. The hits are fantastic but vastly different to the rest of the album. Not a negative take but not what I was expecting!
Out there, unique and an interesting experience. I enjoyed the album as a whole, nothing really stood out though and gripped me. Could benefit from another listen
Great listening, tad too long
An all-star album, every time
Catchy, but not overly exciting for me. Prefer other albums in their discography
Surprisingly rates this! Easy listening, well composed and comforting
This takes me back, was only a young boy when I got my hands on this album and forgot that I loved it so much. Crazy what nostalgia can make you enjoy! I also forgot how much the back end fizzles on this album. Still a damn good time
Never got around Lupe, but did get around Kanye which they're of the same ilk. Might have got into Lupe back in those days but this was an ok listen. All sounds kinda samey, so many over produced horns in this era of hip hop. Easily half an hour too long
Beautiful, what a way to go out. I love this album, it wanes around the mid section which for me pops it to a 4. Some of his best in his later years
Good fun, didn't rate it as much as a later album of there's but still a unique record. Frat boy energy hard through this
Love it, fan of the kinks
Fantastic! If it feels good, love it. As music should be
Easy listening, nothing gripping for me but nice on in the background. Much other jazz I'd listen to before this again
Still insanely fresh, great synth album!
Great grunge album
Was a punish, not overly interesting or fresh for me
No idea how to rate this, first few songs were not for me but then it kept building and I really loved it. Needs another listen
All time artist. Love this album, not my top shelf of the Waits collection but still incredibly enjoyable. This album is just before he reached unseen heights. An incredibly unique artist and a true treasure, a must listen. SPUN
First ever Beatles album top to bottom, fantastic!
Fantastic! Enjoyed this top to bottom, great post punk record. Look forward to hearing more of them
Fantastic top to bottom. Spins well even after all these years
Don't mind some of their other stuff, really didn't rate this
A perfect album for me, both sides I have time for. A few cheesy lyrics you always get but this is one of my favourites. Heaps of repeatability. SPUN
Hard not to be happy listening to this
Fun-ish indie album, extra point the singles being bangen
Seminally important album and holds so pleasantly. Beautiful in the background or to sit in contemplation. I feel he finds his stride in later albums but this is still fantastic
Great fun, good energy and a couple cracking tunes. Big time synergy between the band
Great fun! Might need to be in another frame of mind to fully appreciate it, but some banging tunes throughout
Fantastic! Great fun top to bottom
Great reggae album, loved it
Fun, britpop has never been my thing and this album didn't bring me round. Didn't hate it though
Dug it
An album on heavy rotation. Both sides are classic and timeless. SPUN
Brilliant, top shelf
Fantastic, formulative album. Ebs and flows with some misses but overall fantastic
One of the all time greats and one of my favourite albums. Nothing like it before
Solid production and very catchy. Fan of their earlier stuff and had never dabbled in this album. Enjoyable! Cheesy lyrics and a tad too long though
Top notch album, definitely my favourite of their albums. Shame Maps was the single that took off and not Pin or Y Control, each to their own though!
One of the all times, every song carries its own and Amy is in full swing. An incredible talent, a star of the likes we'll never see again. SPUN
Not sure what draws me so much to Steely Dan but love their records, and this could be my favourite. Doesn't carry the hooks of earlier albums but the production and musicianship is phenomenal. Have listened to this endlessly. SPUN
Conflicted about this one, elements I loved and other pieces dragged. Deserves another listen
Brilliant, it being live adds so much. Bit long, but I'm sure subsequent listens will remedy that feeling
Didn't love it, didn't hate it. Won't go back anytime soon but feel this album will come back to me someday
Wasn't overly for me, felt disjointed throughout. Love a lo-fi album but struggled to latch onto anything here. Personally I'd omit for a number of Primus albums
Beautiful. The start of a special career. Later albums I do prefer but this is still of immense quality and poetry
The softer side of the seeds, a lovely listen. SPUN
Not to my taste, pretty cool for the year it was released though
