You Are The Quarry
MorrisseyReally not my thing, despite a couple of interesting tracks, it's very moan-y and self-centred and overall feels quite repetitive.

Some cool beats but does feel somewhat repetitive and the humorous nature of the lyrics is not always for me. Props to "Too Much Too Young" though. I wouldn't turn it off if it came on but I wouldn't suggest to put it on kinda thing.
Better than I thought and some good bass lines in there too (Backstreets I think). I wouldn't choose it but I'd listen to it!
A million candles burning / For the help that never came I struggled with some demons / They were middle class and tame If thine is the glory / Mine must be the shame Top class writing as expected from one of the masters. The opening track alone is worth it. The whole album is somewhat sad, somewhat angry and yet somewhat horny (as per my wife's description). It's great! This is a transformative album, not one you can reach out to on any given day, but it'll certainly make its presence felt on the days you need.
I didn't care for it as much as I wanted to... Given I like Pink Floyd's other records and this has a couple of famous track on it, I was open to liking it, but the concept album thing just didn't work very well for me. Just feels like it didn't age very well in a way? Odd.
What to say about Bringing It All Back Home? There's a couple of songs on this that I don't particularly care for, but overall this is such a fantastic record which has had tremendous influence on me.
Good beats, maybe not my first choice but love the blend of dialogues and hip hop (very influential for the French rap group, IAM).
Alright, and good energy, but not something I'd reach for.
I thought I'd like this even more because there's some really good stuff, but still something makes it not quite deserving of the 5 stars.
Some good tunes and pretty chill, something I'd happily put in the background but hasn't rocked my world
Some cringe lines but some good tunes even if some of it can feel a little middle of the road it’s overall pretty and makes for a good listen.
Absolutely excellent, whatever it requires of you to get into, it gives you back tenfold.
Not unpleasant but I wouldn’t reach for it again, somewhat unremarkable. A couple of songs particularly painful.
Couldn't even get to the end...
I've enjoyed that, some good tunes and beats, will return to this for sure
Crafted and accessible, I’ve enjoyed it and would return to it
At some point I thought this would be a 4 but it’s not that interesting in the end…
Strange mix of styles? The Jacques Brel inspiration is evident but somehow this is like if Jacques Brel did dirty Disney songs. Some of it is interesting I guess but not my thing.
I think that was maybe less interesting than the previous one...
The album starts out super strong and maybe slows down as it goes (the last 3 tracks aren't exactly as interesting...) but overall it's good and you can hear some of the tracks that will make the DNA of Gorillaz.
Certainly impressed by the drumming on some tracks and it's interesting to hear the melting pot of influence. The occasional cool bass line too. However some tracks are real misses ("Mother" especially). Overall it's good but I don't think I would listen to it routinely.
