Good album. Don’t think I’d listen again. The double album format made it feel a bit unfocused.
Just couldn’t get into this one
The few Jonny Marr hits aren’t enough to rescue this for me. Never been into the smiths and this hasn’t changed my mind
Top tip. Change your phones output to mono before listening. Otherwise you get the completely unhinged production. There’s a few great songs on here, but it’s so mixed that I couldn’t quite get past the ones that didn’t work.
Not listened to this before and although there are a few great tracks I can’t say that I enjoyed it overall. Feels like they’re still working out what their style is at this point.
The first side of this album is amazing. It looses steam a little in the second half but that doesn’t take away too much from my enjoyment of it. The production and mix, at least on the 2012 reissue I listened, was great. A really good sounding album
Enjoyed it, but almost certainly won’t go back to it either.
Maybe there’s a time and place I’d enjoy this album but it’s not right now.
Not my favourite of the Berlin albums but still a very enjoyable album.
I doubt I would have ever listened to this album if it wasn’t for this site, and I’m glad I did. At its best it gives portishead / Massive attack vibes, but there’s two or three too many elements/genres trying to be mixed in here for it to fully work.
I understand that this is a very good prog rock album. But it’s just so not my thing, that I couldn’t get into it. Might be one I need to come back to again.
I started this album thinking I’m not going to just give it 5 stars because it’s Radiohead. But by the time pyramid doing had finished that was out the window. Would probably be a 4/5 on the Radiohead album scale
I don’t have a huge amount to say about this one, which might means it’s a bit generic/boring. But it’s also so clearly a great album.
If I ever want to listen to spiritualized I’ll listen to ladies in gentlemen.. So this is the first time I’ve listened to this album. I enjoyed it. But it’s not changed my view that there’s only one of their albums I’ll go back to regularly.
Some albums are classics for a good reason.
I really thought this might be the queen album I really enjoy. But no, a few great songs but all over the place in quality.
Basically nothing going on here. But yet somehow still an hour long. Depressingly the few chances he does take are the worst bits.
Not heard this one before & enjoyed this one a lot. I can see myself listening again.
Just through the power of large number there’s some great riffs in here. I’m always surprised by how incredibly cheesy this kind of hard rock is. Did people find this intimidating, was this ever “alternative”?
Yet again a double album that could be better as a single album. Too much Prince in one sitting.
