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
This album made me look up the most popular drugs of the late 60s within 5 minutes of the album because WHAT are these people on???? (it was LSD which makes sense) I just cant imagine anybody enjoying this at all, including myself. MADE ME WANT TO TAKE MY SKIN OFF
This album sounded a lot better than it actually was… Urgh i wish i liked this. I liked all of the ingredients, which is why i’m a bit disappointed by the final product. That being said, i still like a lot of this album and it’s generally pleasant
I don’t really like the under 3 minute song throughout the album, and the song length consistency added to the general repetitiveness of the album. Elvis is a legend, and I can imagine a version of myself that loves this album. Unfortunately it’s not this version of me.
This album got progressively better and better as I was listening to it, and I loved so many songs. I felt like a lot of the songs on this album just made sense on the first listen whilst still being new and exciting, which is something very difficult to do.
Only complaint is the 2 hour long album- I really felt like it got dragged out a bit too long and it didnt really feel like something to be enjoyed in one go, which is what an album is to me.
Really not what I expected, which was more angry punk and shouting. I liked a lot of layering that was happening throughout this album, and it was overall a fun listen.
So I went into this album expecting to hate everything about it just off of the album cover. However this was a pleasant surprise for sure, some really fun things going on. That being said, I don’t see giving this a relisten any time soon
Theres lots of good things going on in this but The Smiths are just so repetitive and I can’t really see how much of this stuff is different from all of the other things I’ve heard from them.
Meat is murder, but I think murder is natural.
I like some of the songs though
I feel like I mightve enjoyed this more if he was singing at a live musical or something, but just not very enjoyable through headphones. Wouldn't listen to again
This was actually pretty enjoyable for the first half but I really can't get into albums were all of the songs are under 3/4 minutes. I need some more variety. Shame because I really liked a lot of the first half of this album but it kind of fell off.
undoubtedly the beatles.
um
sorry
I had a lot of fun listening to this
While I know fully that this music wasn't made with people like me in mind, and it was pretty influential, it doesn't take away from the fact that I do not like this. The lyrics seemed pretty shallow throughout the album which i also didnt like. I understand having a signature sound to your music, but a lot of the songs on here came off as repetitive. Wouldn't listen to again
I liked a lot of elements of this album but I can't say I loved every bit of it.
Satisfying to listen to, but musically a bit too simple to listen to again. Nothing major to fault, but I feel like I’ve heard a lot of this before.
This was such good fun to listen to. I would say this chicken is pretty well seasoned. If this was playing in a cafe, I would have high expectations about the coffee. Not my kind of thing though
In all honesty, I have no idea what this guy was saying throughout the entirety of the album. That being said, this was a thoroughly enjoyable listen that I could instantly get into despite not having heard all of the songs before.
There were some quite enjoyable bits in here that I thought were pretty good, if you could get over the overall scratchy chalk vibe of the whole album.
This was something I'd probably enjoy a bit more not through my headphones but quite fun electronic music. I had no idea that this artist was so popular.
This was some good fun to listen to, but I really wish there wasn’t loads of talking in it that really hindered my ability to enjoy the experience as a whole. I would have loved to give this a 4
This was quite good fun to listen to. I liked a lot of what was going on, and I will be back for some more of this.
This was great fun and it reminded me of Iggy pop at parts. Really good study music, will be revisiting. I will say that it got kind of repetitive at the end.
I preferred the first couple of songs over the rest of the album. I thought that the album overall was pretty forgettable, but for the occasional fun instrumental, this one will get a 3.
The epitome of Lana Del ray. I preferred the songs nearer to the beginning and i got pretty bored of the album nearer to the end. I also don't like this romantic attitude around addiction. That being said, definitely one of the better pop (?) albums around.
This was good fun to listen to and it helped to get me through the unintended 1 hour walk that i got myself into. very very very 80s
Depeche mode is one of those albums that have a lead singer that gets annoying after about 10 minutes (like the smiths). He sounds like he shared a lot more goat DNA than the average human being. That being said, the actual music is very good. I debated giving this a 4.
I went through a bit of a king crimson phase a couple months ago but i never got to this album. There's a reason why some of their albums and others not so much. That being said I do think this album was quite good fun to listen to and good study music. Got me through maths
These guys were great and I enjoyed what was going on but I just can’t see myself listening to much of this in my free time, and I do like understanding the lyrics of the songs I listen to, so the language barrier was a bit of a restraint on how much I could absorb from this album.
This doesn’t say anything about the songs themselves, but I just could not separate the millions adverts I’ve heard featuring them. Other than that, a smooth listen but not something I see coming back to again and again
I wasnt too sure about this. This was a strange experience and I was glad that it ended when it did.
This was pretty hard to find but this album was another one where I felt that the listening experience would be so much better if it was live. I really feel like the spirit of jazz dies when it is recorded and relistened to, because the spontaneity is what makes jazz jazz. That being said, some good songs to integrate to.
I had a great time listening to this which was good after a long streak of very very average albums. Quite punky in a way that was still approachable. I liked this on the whole
This was just okay. I feel like something has happened because every time I listen to music I can only evaluate it as average, neither enjoyable or unenjoyable. So this rating might be a reflection of how I feel rather than the music itself. I just don't know how to feel but I don't think this was bad
I really liked this. I don't love the smiths but I felt like this album had everything that I like about the Smiths in it which was really nice. I will be listneing to a lot of the songs on here again. But his voice is what I would imagine Romeo would sound like in the balcony scene except Romeo is a goat with a tooth infection.
Sounds like the Bubonic plague, fire, soot and beds. There's a reason that we as a society have moved on from that period, so there's no need to make us nostalgic for our hunter gatherer days.
I really don't like when singers try to show off the highest note that they can sing. I am worried for his vocal chords if he keeps straining them like this. You don't become a better singer if you can sing higher notes. Neil is not impressing me so far
This is universally likable music. I can't imagine anyone who doesn't like this album. A classic.
Quite good, easily recognisable. indisputably good music with a great flow. But just don't see myself listening to this on the regular.
