Introducing The Hardline According To Terence Trent D'Arby

Popular Reviews

Genuinely thought this was a made up band from Peep Show so I was just picturing Jez at the keyboard the whole time.

Pretty good. Not my thing, clear influence on Irish bands like Dropkick Murphy or Flogging Molly which I just associate with being a teen. Better with headphones, second listen surprised me by how much I enjoyed. Well done niche music.

A clear classic, already listened a hundred times. Big themes and grand celestial theme/framing but somehow sticks the landing in like 42 minutes.

A lot of fun, the slow 70s disco ballads are less my thing but still a great time.

Hifi beats to play Halo to

Very charming and lovely

Diminishing returns, particularly after Exit Planet Dust, but still enjoyed it.

Not sure it's my thing and probably too long but honestly don't mind it. A little burnt out on 90s UK electronica after two Chemical Brothers albums in quick succession so maybe a little harsh.

Hard not to compare to At San Quentin as I just listened to that recently, definitely enjoy this much more. Hits the right balance of songs/banter with the audience. A prison-themed album recorded live in front of prisoners is already a great concept, the quality of the songs puts it over the top.

Extremely vivid flashback to being a sophomore in college. I thought I liked this album but halfway through I remembered I only really like Stillness Is The Move and how the guy says “bitte orca orca bitte.”

Seems like something you’d love in high school and be embarrassed about as an adult. It’s alright.

A massive, undeniable hit that puts many of the albums that come after it on this list in context and a case could be made that it’s Radiohead’s third best album.

Very very fun, you can really tell the band is enjoying itself.

Listened to this album in college but had no memory of the second half, now that I’m forcing myself to it sure feels like a slog.

Rolled up my car windows at lightning speed when the second song’s lyrics hit.

Nothing but hits. We don’t respect Billy Joel enough.

Always fun to read positive reviews of generally disliked albums that are just like “I guess SOME people can’t appreciate music that SUCKS” Interesting to hear a lot of these songs go from unlistenable to okay as the instrumentation coheres but there are diminishing returns.

The best of the pre-electric Dylan albums.

If a jazz album was all the crash out chaotic song finale. Even so I was interested, so can’t go 1 star.

Never heard of this but really enjoyed it!

Consistently pretty boring

He seems like a bad hang

A descendant of T-Rex and Ziggy Stardust-era Bowie and an ancestor of Cloud Nothings and Pup. Juvenile but fun.

Very surprised at how mediocre this is.

Insane Silver Springs wasn’t on the original album.

The most difficult/impenetrable Dylan album for me (that’s actually good aka not including albums like Self-Portrait) but when it clicks it clicks

Probably a 4 but I relistened a lot

This mostly makes me feel like we’ve made Industrial Revolution-level advancements in jamming since the 60s. The four actual songs on this album aren’t enough to justify the double album.
