Fast American punk done well a little poppy but all good and a great band live
Love the title track which has very relevant lyrics 20 years before trump
7 out of 10
Very chilled and easy listen perfect with the newspaper and coffee on a Sunday morning . Issac has a very smooth and soft voice which feels like velvet , enjoyed the album very much and is a departure from my usual listening habits.

Didn’t really enjoy this album , primarily due to the poor production, even allowing for the fact that it was made in 1969 and the number of songs which had no structure and appeared to a product of a jam session .
Appreciate their input to the soul genre and have done some very definitive songs but this does not drag the album past two stars
Not sure what to say , genre not my thing but can recognise that the band are probably good at what they do and the record was well produced and balanced .
It’s hard to like this album as I always thought the Beatles were an overrated band , however I had to force myself to listen to it .
I recognised quite a few of the songs and can understand why they are given the credence attached to them and also appreciate the strength of the lyrics , but unfortunately they do not instilled a joy in me and encourage me to immerse myself .
Therefore it is an unfortunate low score
Never heard of this artist and was pleasantly surprised , a very nice blend of soft female vocals and some very quirky songs which is enjoyed a lot .
As the album progressed I engaged with it more and more and will as a result listen to more of her content
Would not normally listen to listen genre of music but enjoyed its energy and challenge of not dancing a badly choreographed salsa to it ?
Perfect for a Sunday morning reading the papers and drinking coffee and eating a hearty brunch
Not overly impressed , very formulaic in terms of the songs , nothing out of the ordinary and could name a number of post punk bands who have done this better and stood the test of time . Professional production but very forgettable
This is the easiest review so far as I already have this album and love it. Devo have their own style within the electronica genre , I played this loud and was dancing round the kitchen to most songs and such fun to listen to
Nice collection of blues and rock , well constructed songs which are very relaxing and lightly enjoyable
I enjoy reggae in small doses , so wasn’t really looking forward to this album , I know of Peter Tosh but not to listen to . I thoroughly enjoyed it as it was more mellow than most in this genre with the softer bass lines and his very silky voice
Had no expressions of this album , but was pleasantly surprised with the great voice Marianne has and the quality of the songs . Which were both edgy and melodic in equal measure
Obviously Pixies are an iconic band but somehow they passed me by , it is why I enjoyed listening to this album and rated it highly , the vocals were fab mainly because they reminded me a bit of Marcie Smith. The structure of the songs were great and the album raced by and could not wait until the the next track
I had only heard the major singles and was not really looking forward to it as I don’t enjoy the songs , mr Blue sky,etc for me to much use of electronic voicing and don’t like the composition, however I can appreciate the structure of the songs we’re and musicianship but not for me and won’t listen again
No need to listen to this album as I have done so a hundred times before , seen the bunny men live a few times and this is their best album by someways. This album is in my top ten of all albums
Love the cardigans and this album is fantastic but I think the better album is Gran tourismo ,
I have a mixed relationship with U2 , loved this album and Boy and enjoy the early stuff more , however seen then twice first in 1981 (Sheffield) Lyceum ) but went to see the support band ( comsat angels ) but didn’t play , saw again at Glastonbury and wanted to dislike but they were amazing . Great album , that works and is great post punk rock
I was hesitant to listen to this album but gave it a go due to my aversion to country music . This proved to be the case and have to admit to fast forwarding a lot of the tracks as there was nothing ground breakin* in this album and is a johhny cash rip off , or maybe the other way round ? Either way nit for me
King Crimson are an iconic band but have never listened to them , I loved the blend of prog rock and psychedelic undertones , very experimental for the time , haunting vocals and so well put together , very surprised at how much I enjoyed the album as a hole , even if at times it did lose some mommentum
Surprised at how songs I recognised on this album , and Alanis has a very distinctive sound , which is not necessarily to my taste as it’s a bit warily
I can see why it made the 1001 list though as it’s well put together
Classic rock , well made and produced , enjoyed immensely and was much better than I had anticipated
Had no expectation of this album as never heard of the artist and was very pleased with the listen . Big lover of electronic music and this album pushed the boundaries with some cool songs .
Classic blues done by the master , Simple as that , the songs just flowed and sat so nicely in the air the time went and you relaxed and immersed in the quality of the sounds
Nice chilled jazz , well put together and love the structure and pace of the music , proper music for a nice chilled Sunday morning reading the papers and drinking coffee
No brained had only listened to this album last week , as I love it , so controversial and one of the best music videos of all time with two tribes .
In my top 10 albums
Classic soul album by one of the best , has Mrs Fitz favourite song on there top album
Never heard war before , enjoyed the track , well produced and another great soul album and would listen again
Nothing against prog rock but this was a step to far , appreciate the musicianship but tried to combine too much with this album and as a result found it too unconnected , didn’t flow
Hated the voice and the songs , just properly grated on me
Love my punk and The Ramones are one of the originals and only a few American punk banks make the cut ,the DKs being the best of the bunch. This is fast pace and does what I says on the tin and was iconic at the time
Really enjoyed the blues and hip hop collaboration and the album was really chilled , much better than anticipated
Nice and chilled and lovely lead vocals , perfect for chilling on a rainy afternoon , loved the melodies and the album flowed really well
Classic blues which formed the basis for some fabulous rock and roll over the years and original songs , however this album in my opinion is not their best work and any number of their albums should have been picked over this one
Wow proper shouty , metal , and have to admit didn’t like it a whole lot , however I have seen this band at Leeds and enjoyed the experience as it was full on mosh pit and I was slightly drunk a theme which will emerge through these reviews
I enjoyed this more than I anticipated and was a really easy listen and loved the harmonies and chilled guitar riffs great album
Never listened much to Radiohead previously and always was a bit sniffy about them , however I quite enjoyed this album and May therefore give others a listen . Despite not loving the vocals , a good arrangement of songs which showed a lot of talent and a few songs which I really enjoyed
I have love the singles form this album for sometime but have never listened to the whole album all the way through , wow what top rock and roll , metal what ever top tunes all the way through and lennys gravelly voice just adds to the chaos which is this album
First one I have reviewed which warrants going out and buying and adding to my collection
Classic soul from the master awesome vocals on this man
Obviously very talented piano play to the untrained ear , and is fine in the background whilst reading the Sunday papers and drinking coffee , hard for me to engage with
Love this album and the message is such an iconic rap love , literally a master of his craft
Great band and great album but not there best in my opionion and preferred their more earlier stuff
I have been sniffy about fleet foxes in the past and had to open my mind to get through this album , unfortunately my view on this band is still unchanged and I don’t like it
Classic disco tracks done by the master of funk Niall Rodger’s top album which gets everyone dancing
Absolute legend , great early album with a favourite of my DB in golden years , wow what a voice this man has
It is a fun album , not a fan of country music but can appreciate the quality of mr Cash’s voice but not for me I’m afraid
Musically this album is not fantastic but it is absolutely ground break8ng in breaking into the punk genre and setting the standard for all the British punk to follow , in my top 10 albums ever
Great album even though not a Massive hip hop fan , however grea5 album which brought this genre more into the main stream , very listenable and good to dance to
Never heard of the guy , soft non descriptive pop to me and leaves me a little cold unfortunately,
Was not over impressed with this album , very formulaic rock music with noth8ng else to offer apart from th slightly annoying vocals
3 great hits on this album surrounded by other top tunes , just love the Costello sound and song writing and is easy on the ears
Not that impressed with this album , sounds like two fourteen year old kids playing their computer in the bedroom
Top artist , top album , great singles so well produced and such an iconic performer , only regret that I didn’t see him live
Didn’t enjoy this album , formulaic rock with nothing else to say which is going for it
Wow what a man SW is and has a superb voice and is a whizz on the piano and what a performer
Nice jazz album and will consider adding to my ever growing jazz vinyl
