Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not

Arthur (Or the Decline and Fall of the British Empire)

Popular Reviews

Was not expecting to like this one as much as I did.

One of the greatest of all time.

I just couldn’t connect with this one at all

TWICE IN A ROW! ARE YOU SERIOUS? The only positive thing I can say about this album is that it’s shorter than the other one.

4-Star Albums (93)

Never Mind The Bollocks, Here’s The Sex Pistols

A Christmas Gift For You From Phil Spector

People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm

Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music

1-Star Albums (11)

All Ratings (300)

First one down

Very solid

Not as good as Bookends, but still pretty good

Buffalo Gals is the only thing keeping this album from getting a 1.

Very underwhelming

Much better

Peak

This is it

The worst one so far

It has Common People, enough said.

Insert Jojo reference here

Very overrated

One of the greatest of all time.

Not a fan

Probably one of his weakest albums

A little slow in the beginning, but definitely picks up in the second half.

Very nice

Title track carries this album hard, but the rest is still good.

Definitely better than her other album, but it’s still just alright

Wow the difference in quality between this and the other album is staggering.

Still holds up

A very interesting listen.

Not a fan

Fantastic debut

Iconic

Their later stuff is definitely better

I just couldn’t connect with this one at all

Very boring

Anarchy in the UK pushed this from a 3 to a 4.

I definitely understand why Kurt Cobain liked this band.

Why was this over an hour

RIP

Brian Wilson truly was a genius, RIP

It definitely kept me hanging on

Fantastic finale for an iconic frontman.

Yee Haw (Derogatory)

Really good debut, but their latter stuff is significantly better.

I’m not the biggest Led Zeppelin fan, but this album definitely lives up to the hype.

Country Girl should have been the closer, but otherwise phenomenal album

Very Good

Fantastic album from a fantastically underrated band.

Yep it’s Radiohead

Chester was the voice of a generation.

A Modern Masterpiece

The best Christmas album by a convicted murderer

Man, why did this have to be so good

100 down still much more to go

Anyway, here’s 2026 (album’s great)

All around fantastic album

Definitely rolling

Wow, I did not expect to like this as much as I did.

Oh yeah we’re jamming.

Wow

I have no idea how she was so popular, this was so boring.

I never realized how much Bryan Ferry sounds like David Byrne until now.

Kinda overrated

Very epic

Wonderful wacky weirdness

Of course Rikki is great, but the second half is also really strong.

One of the greatest live albums of all time. I highly recommend you listen to the deluxe version with the full concert in its original order for the best experience.

Classic

Was not expecting to like this one as much as I did.

Metallica if they stayed good after 1988.

Not even joking, the closer pushed this from a 4 to a 5

Very enjoyable

80s new wave greatness

Very chill

This felt like an astral week to get through.

I mean, it’s Rush

The better Elvis

Kinda surprised at how good this was.

Banger

Man, Smoke On the Water isn’t even the best song on this album.

This album made me want to watch the movie.

I can definitely see why this was so influential, but I much prefer their later work.

Solid

Okay I definitely understand the hype now.

This album is better than Dark Side of the Moon

Oh my god, why was this over an hour

TWICE IN A ROW! ARE YOU SERIOUS? The only positive thing I can say about this album is that it’s shorter than the other one.

Well I mean, ratings in the title

It’s crazy how this is one of their weaker albums, but it is still better than some other artists’ best.

My only complaint is that it’s too short.

Of course Joplin is phenomenal, but you shouldn’t sleep on the rest of the band, as they are great too.

I give it a 9 out of 5

I liked it

Very fun listen

The cover is a 5 on its own

Genuinely one of the greatest albums of all time.

I never got the hate for this band.

It kinda feels like they forgot the story in the second half, but the music was great.

I liked it, but i think the overwhelming praise it gets is a little overblown.

It really sucks that this isn’t on streaming, because it’s pretty good.

This album is a gay old time.

This is probably the most I’ve been engrossed by a jazz album on this list so far.

Kendrick truly is one of the greatest to ever do it.

I can’t believe this is the 77th Talking Heads album. That’s some crazy work ethic.

This album cured my melophobia.

I was hooked immediately from the opening chords.

This is probably his first truly great album even though TMWSTW is pretty underrated.

Both of these albums are definitely a 5 for me.

9 + 10

One of the easiest rankings on this list (even if it isn’t their best album).

Started strong and ended strong.

Cover is me when “Street Spirit” comes on.

The original crab rave.

Not the hugest Van Halen fan, but this album is consistently good.

Men be ramblin’

Truly one of music’s biggest what-ifs

I expected it to be good, but not THAT good.

You’ve heard of a one-hit wonder, well these guys are a one-album wonder (Yes I know that “Amanda” was a No.1 much later, Shut Up!)

Don’t think this one was quite so random. RIP to a real one

Funny beep boop music sounds good to my ears.

Who’s up Doctorin’ their Tardis right now.

Ohhh wow, I was not mentally prepared for “Me and a Gun”

Man, who knew you could make talking about sex so boooring.

It’s crazy how consistent their sound was from the beginning, even when they were just one guy.

Listen to Hot Chip and lie

Annnnd third time’s the charm

Very solid debut

Music for white people to get turnt to

Did they really need 2 albums on this list? (Also 300 down, we’re almost a full year in)
