This wasn't my cup of tea, I can hear how this influenced other bands, but this just wasn't for me.

I went into this one thinking I'd enjoy it a lot more than I actually did, it wasn't the worst, had a few songs I'd probably put on a 'Favorite Beatles' mixtape(A Hard Day's Night, I'm Happy Just To Dance With You, Can't Buy Me Love, maybe Any Time At All) but 4/13 songs that I like and wouldn't skip doesn't really elevate the album past 2 stars for me.

It was fine, wouldn't go out of my way to put it on, but didn't feel a need to constantly skip, except track 3 because wow that was creepy.

Keep being told I might like this band, can now say I've given it multiple attempts and I still don't.

Three stars, it was fine.

Very repetitive

I can't quite put this in the same category as the albums I gave 1 star, but 2 stars is generous. It's very bland, the fake jamaican accent is cringey, titling your album 'white reggae' and then just, being bland does feel like the most English thing to do, but... yikes.

I liked it, would listen to again, and might even go listen to more Johnny Cash.

'You and Whose Army?' and 'Life in a Glasshouse' could not make up for how much the vibe of this album grates at me, something about the sound on most of the other songs just.. it's not for me, I tried one and half times, a friend really likes them, but they're not my cup of tea.

Giving this 3 stars, but I do want to come back to this when I have more brain energy, because there was a lot here that I liked, but it also feels more like a tasting menu?

Dusty Springfield can sing, however this did not feel like something I absolutely had to listen to, I've heard a lot of these songs from the original singers/groups, would've preferred an album that wasn't 100% covers.

The onion songs are good, the organ gets a bit.. grating eventually on the whole though.

I'm a bit torn on rating this one, I'm giving it a hesitant 3 stars. Some of the good songs are quite good, some of the songs are... not for me..

Would probably have given this a 5 as a teen, would give it a high 4 stars now, still like a lot, just maybe not play it on repeat a lot, would also maybe skip the first song.

Wasn't expecting to be blown away, but I did think I'd enjoy it more than I did, given how big Prince was, maybe you had to be there?

Pretty sure I did not need to listen to this, was so excited to see something not from the 60's and 70's, and.. no, this wasn't for me.

Apparently there are other albums by the Rolling Stones on this list? Then I would've opted against having this one on here. It's nothing great, another album of covers by white English guys, nothing I feel I particularly would've missed out on if I hadn't heard it.

Had a few decent songs, I really liked the instrumental one, I'm pretending I listened to the version with Circle instead of I'm a Man, even though I didn't really care for Circle, it was a lot better than that cover was.

A few of the songs felt like they were recorded off a radio with poor reception. I already didn't particularly enjoy this, but that definitely didn't improve the experience.

A very high 3 stars, misses the cut off because I don't think I'd ever go out of my way to put this on, I just am not super fond of the way organs sound tbh, but that saxophone was really nice, so I was pleasantly surprised, didn't have high hopes going in to this one.
