I listened to this album too many times as a teenager... I still acknowledge its merit but I can't think of it anymore as music for grown-ups. In particular, they take themeselves so fucking seriously: not a glimpse of irony or detachment here. Especially in your lyrics, Roger. It's still somewhat touching how you talk about Syd but, hey man, let's not forget you kicked him out of the band!
Outstanding, especially for being a country album, one of the most boring genres ever invented by humans. But the story behind it, the fact that he was singing those things in that place, the raw energy of the performance, and how the audience reacted to it and interacted with him make a fucking masterpiece out of it.
With the exception of the two obvious songs, soooo boring...
This album brings me back to my youth but it is still quite annoying, starting from the famous singles: as many have already noticed Liam Gallagher's singing is a constant whining howl... In comparison Oasis' first album (that I had never bothered to listen to before today) sounds much more enjoyable...
Simply one of the best debuts (and albums in general) of all time
Really unremarkable. I could have happily died without listening to it...
Not very inspiring... Often, I don't even get the work of his brother Brian (hailed as a genius by almost everyone), how could I find this album interesting?
