This is a 4.4 rounded down to a 4. Great album but not the best of oasis so i can’t really give it a 5. But if i had adult money i would pay the 300 something pounds to go see them. This rating was definitely a battle between do i actually love this song or is it just really nostalgic
Wow that was amazing. So interesting textually throughout and I was never bored. Just so clever, especially with Cans and Brahms. Works incredibly as an album as a whole, which is quite rare apparently.
Some great songs to yawn to. Inoffensive but flavourless. They were songs
What is it with people (men) thinking that forcing a reaction out of someone makes your work worthy of praise? Such a cheap way to get attention. Disgusting.
Duran Lantink this u??
I thought the background to vocal ratio was perfect but the lyrics bored me. Great flow but wouldn’t listen to again
The experience was rough, uncomfortable and overall unpleasant. Won't be looking to get bummed again.
I got into a lot of the songs on here… I wish they had come up with a better album name but i’m nitpicking. One of the better punk albums so far on the list
Works as an album, works as single songs too. I love the recurring chords running through the whole album. Quite long for an album would be my main problem. If this album was kept shorter, wouldve been a 5 for sure. The blueprint of storytelling through an album.
I actually kind of liked it… This kind of music definitely has its place in the world.
I do listen to jazz more than occasionally but not this kind. I just couldn't cope with the high pitched trumpet intervals. There were some really good bits in there but I found myself getting a bit bored, so its a shame the rating is so low.
A bit of a weird one. I went into this album assuming I'd enjoy it a lot more than I actually did. Usually quite like fusion but this feels just a bit too unpolished for me, especially in "on any other day". Read the wikipedia page and it said that a lot of the songs were unrehearsed before recording which somewhat doesn't surprise me.
hi george,
wouldve taken this one to the marriage counsellor instead. i saw that you went through 4 wives, so call may be coming from within the house.
the album generally reminds me of when i got chased by a goat for 10 minutes when i was about 5
I was surprised that I liked this because I usually don’t really love the singer songwriter genre. I thought the instrumental at the beginning didn’t quite fit with the rest of the album. I think my mum would like this
I like a lot of elements about this album but the weaker songs like pretty baby brings the rating down. I do like a powerful female voice though so this was hard
Rick i love u but what did you seein this.
This is what i’d listen to on the way to work if i was a balding 51 year old man recently divorced and a 9-5 i hate. Did they change the key at all throughout the whole album?? Still pretty iconic though so it deserves a 3
Here is a bit off of Ultra violet
“There is a silence that comes to a house
Where no-one can sleep.
I guess it's the price of love; I know it's not cheap.“
Really putting the 2 in u2
Pretty brilliant end to the album- Voodoo child was definitely my favourite out of all of the songs for sure. I really wanted to give this a 4 but I think I much preferred the other album and I really didn't like some of the longer songs on here, so it's a high 3.
I would’ve given this a much higher rating if the instruments were different- not a huge fan of the keyboard. Watermelon man sounded ape like to me at times, but the other tracks on here made me smile. What this album does a great job at is the fusion- jazz and funk couldn’t be combined better.
Great start to the album and i thought i was about the have a lovely blast from the past. but baby i hope to hear this full album no more times. but i cant give britney a 2.
while i was listening to this i was making a face and my brother asked whether i was constipated and i said nearly.
the singer sounds like he used to wet the bed until he was 13
“Home places we’ve grown
All of us are done for”
This would be my anthem if i was a foot fungus about to be killed off by treatment. So maybe in another life.
Coldplay is one of those bands i really struggle to understand why people like…. sorry
raw hems, squiggle print and weird makeup. not a finished product, but this album similarly feels like the beginning of something much bigger. It felt like listening to a prototype of a lot of more modern artists that I love. Even the annoying repetitiveness gave this impression. X didn't quite make it in the same way as VW but but this album did make me go on vestiaire. I don't think i can afford those boots though.
perfectly modern, objectively good music. i had not a clue what exactly i was listening to, but it felt like watching the sun set over a place ive never been before. but i prefer sunrises i think.
There were some really good songs in there and some….. not so much. It got pretty old by the end of the 40 minutes but I see myself listening to som of the songs again
Torturous at times to listen to. God awful terrible music. I can’t believe this was made in the 90s??
like a parfait. Started off nice with really good textures, like ice cream and something crunchy. But as i progressed through the album the parfait became more deranged. Do not put fried chicken and soy sauce in my parfait. However an interesting experience and I keep thinking about this album.
I really like the first song but they kind of lost me after that one.
Very very very very bland, and not very memorable in any way.
Urgh how can you not love this. Incredible guitar and songwriting, and I listened to the album again once it was over. The albums works amazingly together, but each individual song is incredible on its own. 5 stars!!
this girls IQ is probably very similar to the average mosquito. this is the whiniest, most annoying thing i have ever put in my ears. Truly terrible forgettable music
orchestral and cinematic. the vocals… not so much but a somewhat enjoyable album experience. the lyrics were pretty awful though
I can’t think of anything I particularly liked, but I can’t think of anything I particularly disliked either.
It’s nice to see a non english album in here. Lots of fun layering but it didn’t always work and ended up being unpleasant. Seems like the type of music I would pretend to love if I was an insufferable man who thinks he’s far more culturally informed than you are.
I don't regret listening to this at all. As horrible of a man Kanye is, his music defined an era, and are undeniably iconic. I cant believe it took me this long to properly listen to his music. Absolutely deserves its place of the list as probably one of the most influential albums of all time (for better or for worse). However I can’t really see myself listening to much of this again
So funky but perfectly balanced. Extra points for being released on my birthday, but I do genuinely love this. I listened to it twice for good measure
Not my favourite Gorillaz album but I do still love all the the experimental stuff going on in this album.
Did they use the kazoo for the instrumentals???? There was some really good stuff in here, but some of the songs were pretty awful. The instrumentals are just a bit too much for me.
Spotify has been trying to get me to liste to this album for ages so i was quite excited to see what it was all about. this is a lot coming from me about this kind of mopey genre but this was actually reallly good. so far the better nick on the list
