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

Surprise! Blues album! Never thought about it but really enjoyed it.

Some of the tracks were a bit long, but just fantastic music.

Oh my gosh the length! Listening one side at a time haha. (Not true actually, the album is engaging and ended up marathoning it.) In The Cage kicks ass. Also enjoyed Hairless Heart and Counting Out Time. And an incredible closer in "It". Story is wild, but would have to relisten to fully appreciate.

Renegade was the best track by far. A lot of the lyrics fall flat here, and the production is boring.

All pretty enjoyable to listen to, but "Prove It Through the Night" and the title track kick ass. Wonderful ending. 3.75

Deserving of a Relisten after learning more about punk and "post punk"

Every tune was grooving with a great rhythm. Really noticing the synthetic drums and very inspired by them.

Surprise! Blues album! Never thought about it but really enjoyed it.

While it all sounded pleasant, nothing really caught my ear.

Not for me, and didn't really enjoy. Fine singing and guitar playing for those who do though, and can hear how it's important.

Some of the tracks were a bit long, but just fantastic music.

Very forgettable but also with a poor mix that was a little painful to listen to at times.

Great representation of the Basie sound with some killer solos from Lockjaw Davis. But honestly this one was probably picked for the sick album art.

Fantastic from start to finish.

I was initially put off by the title track but the rest of the album is wonderful. The repetitive lyrics sometimes work and sometimes don't but I appreciate the style.

After hearing about the Velvet Underground for years and never listening, this was extremely disappointing as a first album. Murder Mystery was the best track by far and the only reason this isn't a 2.

Some nice B3 playing.

Some of the drum and guitar grooves are an interesting skeleton, but then everything on top seems designed to sound as irritating as possible (singer, lead guitar tones, random extra noise). Somehow this is the worst thing Ice Cube has ever been part of, even counting Amazon's War of the Worlds.

Completely forgettable except for Sinead O'Connor

Nice string arrangements cannot justify the absolutely repulsive concept of this record. Even the album cover is borderline CSAM. Anyone who enjoys this record should be placed on a watchlist honestly...
