Artistically wanting.
A rough album to start my journey on.
Favourite track is 4. Confusion.
1/5
Easy listening.
2/5
The bass is fun on this one.
2.5/5
English chaps pretending to be black. Decent effort.
3.25/5
Not an fan.
Marks for a consistent and cohesive sound.
1.25 /5
The first track is an absolute mess.
“I wrote 62 riffs this year. I am going to put them all into the same key (or thereabouts) and play one after another - people will confuse my mediocrity for genius and both Richard Branson and I will become millionaires”
1/5
Simple yet interesting.
Paul simons stream of consciousness lyrics get a bit annoying. They are the only blemish on the album.
4/5
80s stadium rock at its finest.
3.5/5
Solid combo of Punk, glam rock, and more ambient tracks.
Exceedingly bland.
2/5
Never liked ELP - and this album isn't helping.
2.5/5
Britpop should have never left the Home Nations.
0.5/5
When the thrash metal drumming, whiny vocals, and slushy overdriven guitars come together in a certain way The Offspring offer can a great song. But this hardly happened.
2/5
As an exploration into the banality and neuroticisms of modernity Albion’s lyrics sound like they were composed by a classroom of 7th graders playing the game of what-word-comes-next?.
Paranoid android sound like poetry next to this.
Coxon’s mixture of catchy chord progressions and arbitrary key changes in the middle of a phrase (made popular by the Beatles and others) are mildly redemptive.
2.5/5
Can the imitation be more real than the thing itself? Bowie’s “plastic soul” has the touch and taste of flesh and blood.
4.25/5
Being groundbreaking for it’s time isn’t necessary condition for being a good album.
2/5
His album has spunk, groove and great songwriting throughout. But is not risky enough for my taste.
3.75/5
Good songs but terribly uninteresting.
2/5
Much of Mtonf feels as if it is forcing itself upon you and lacking of genuine substance. Obnoxiously overdriven riffs and mediocre melodies.
1.5/5
Great voice but boring songs.
1.25/5
Sexy riffs over nothing substantial yet this album still grooves. The Incident at Neshabur being a welcome exception.
3.5/5
A rock album more solid than gold.
4/5
Songs for the autist.
3.5/5
The drum machines and other instrumentation lack coherence.
2/5
Swagger without the character of mick jagger.
3/5
So nonchalant it became a quadriplegic.
3/5
The duality of man.
2/5
No thank you.
1/5
Makes me want to listen to CSN&Y.
2.5/5
Morrisey’s limp wisted attempt at dad rock.
0.5/5
The calipers show a fully developed prefrontal cortex.
4/5
Tormented schizoid music.
3.5/5
Fun but utter crap.
1/5
Insipid.
0.5/5
Fun fun fun.
1/5
A lot of weak fillers but the classics go hard.
2/5
A Hieronymus Bosch painting ad music.
3.25/5
Love the vibe of this album, sounds like you are sitting in a room listening to then play for you. Pretty boring by the end though.
2.5/5
The great arrangements, barebones instrumentation, and sincere lyrics combine to give more than the sum of its parts.
It never forces itself on you… coy.
3.25/5
