First Impression before Listening:
I haven’t heard much Elton John. I’ve never even heard a full album by him. I’m quite fond of the song, “ Don't let the Sun go Down on Me” especially the version with George Michael. I love Tiny Dancer but I haven’t heard another song off this album.
Tiny Dancer: 10/10
Great Lyrics. Fantastic Piano. Great lap steel playing. Good guitar. Perfect song.
Levon: 6.2/10
Not a bad song but not incredible. It doesn’t have the same quality as tiny dancer but the song carries on like it thinks it does…
Razor Face: 6.5/10
Solid chorus. Original sounding.
Madman Across the Water: 7/10
Great guitar intro. Probably should’ve focused on it more. But the electric outro and the middle 8 do it justice.
Indian Sunset: 5.5/10
Pretty boring. Long. An entire album of ballads can be a bad idea. Because ballads should be performed in moderation.
Holiday Inn: 6/10
Folky instrumentation and lyrics. At least it’s not a piano ballad.
Rotten Peaches: 6/10
Pretty standard.
All the Nasties: 4/10
Cheesy lyrics. The piano at the end of the chorus sounds exactly like tiny dancer.
Goodbye: 4/10
Not too bad. Filler.
All round not a bad album, just an underwhelming one. Tiny Dancer is a fantastic song and no other song is even worth mentioning on this album. Repetitive piano/ballad parts and boring lyrics mixed with long and experimental instrumentation make this album a chore.
Cream is a great band. Eric, Ginger and Jack are fantastic musicians.
Strange Brew: 6.5/10
Classic Bluesy song but still original.
Sunshine of your Love: 8/10
That riff is up there with Smoke on the Water. Fantastic song.
World of Pain: 7.3/10
Basic and the words are spoken well.
Dance The Night Away: 6.4/10
Nice 12 string
Blue Condition: 6.1/10
Basic blues song.
Tale of Brave Ulysses: 6/10
That riff sounds like white room. Pretty standard song.
SWLABR:6.2/10
Not bad. Interesting song.
We’re going wrong: 5.9/10
Boring
Outside woman blues: 6.1/10
Standard
Take it back: 6/10
Pretty normal blues track
Mothers lament:7/10
Funny track. I like it.
I’ve heard of fat boy slim and I’ve heard a few songs but not this whole album. I’m not a fan of electronic music at all. This album cover is great.
Right Here Right Now: 6.5/10
Sounds like a big song. Great album opener.
The Rockafeller Skank: 6.4/10
Iconic song.
Fucking in Heaven: 6.2/10
Really nothing to this song.
Gangster Trippin: 5.4/10
Pretty boring.

Interesting intro.
Acid 8000: 5/10
Very long song.
I’ve heard a bit of Radiohead. The bends is a great album. A few of their other songs are great as well. I’ve heard a couple of the songs on this album, it should be good.
Airbag: 7.2/10
The mix is fucking spot on. Everything sounds great. Nice guitar work. Great start to an album.
Paranoid Android: 6.6/10

Groovy.
The Tourist: 6.4/10
Relaxed and calm way to end one hell of an album.
I hate rap. I hate Kanye.
I respect Sly and the Family Stone. Im not a fan of soul music. It’s very repetitive sounding. The verse, pre chorus, chorus, bridge rock n roll format is not what they go by. So the songs feel like they’re repeating themselves.
Never heard of this group at all.
It sounds like Lo-fi millennial soft rock music. I just knew the singer had a beard.
It’s like pop rock but neither at the same time. The guitar playing isn’t so bad.
Another Kanye album two days later. Bloody hell.
I haven’t listened to a Jane’s Addiction album before, but I’ve heard some of their songs. They're a quality band.

Middle eastern sounding.
Classic Girl: 6/10
Relaxed and calm ending to a highly energetic album.

One of the best intros to a song and album ever.

Meat is murder: 7/10
I hate her voice. I hate that she’s trying to sound complicated and jazzy. She just sounds crap.
I’ve only heard a couple of Billy Joel songs. I think that We Didn’t start the Fire song is great. Piano Man isn’t too bad.
Movin out (Anthony’s song): 6.6/10
Not too bad. A bit too jolly sounding.

I like this guys voice. Good song. It’s like a rocky type song but it has so many extra instruments on it. Very original sounding. The ending is a mess.
Kamera: 5/10
Not very interesting.
Radio Cure: 5.5/10
Im starting to think this band are trying to be Radiohead.
War on War: 5/10

Jesus Etc.: 4/10
Fairly boring. Stupid song.
Ashes of American Flags: 5/10
Unoriginal, not catchy.
Heavy Metal Drummer: 5.5/10

Not bad. Probably the best song of the album.

Not too bad.

A mess.
One: 4/10
Gets a lot better at the end.
Enter sandman: 3/10
Battery: 4/10

Deck chairs and cigarettes:
One horse town:
Old friends new lovers:

My fathers house: 6/10
Reason to believe: 6/10
Jesus christ. This looks like it’s gonna be bad.
Honestly for an album with some freaky looking child on the front, not too bad. The songs are not what I expected at all. It contains some very solid rock songs, I like the raspiness of his voice. The songs are quite basic but the songs are good.
12 songs in 28 minutes? That’s unheard of. Still, it provides beautifully crafted acoustic tunes. Hauntingly beautiful melodies and gorgeous vocals.
I’ve heard of Curtis mayfield, but I don’t think I could name any of his tunes.
Genuinely a groovy soundtrack that makes me want to watch the movie. The horns and the wah guitar sounds so good. Such a good 70s soundtrack, not just for the 70s but in general.
I’ll be honest. Im really not a fan of nick drake.
This album is a huge step up from Five Leaves Left. Its is great musically. But it can tend to be a bit of a drag on occasion.
Nice album cover. The kinks are massively influential. I’ve never heard one of their albums. This album was heavily criticised when it was realised, many labelled it one of the earliest concept albums.
The village green preservation society: 5/10
Wow. It’s like the kinks are doing their best beach boys impressions.
Do you remember Walter?: 5.5/10
That first chord reminds me of a day in the life.

People take pictures of each other: 6/10
All together a bit too jolly for most people. I think when people want to hear the kinks they want to hear gritty rock, not an experimental album.
I’ve heard that these guys were massively influential to a lot of big bands including GNR. I also know that Vince Neil was responsible for killing one of them so there ya go.
The influence on bands like skid row, GNR and Motley Crüe is very obvious. Hanoi Rocks sound like the Clash mixed with glam rock and mixed with pop music melodies. Pop music melodies were a key part in the success for bands like Poison and many more glam bands to come.
How can people not like this band??They sound so futuristic. If the whole glam era of the 80s sounded like Hanoi rocks, people would look back with a lot more fondness for the genre.
What would these guys achieved if Razzle didn’t get killed? They sound so good.
I’ve heard a couple of the songs on this album. The sound is gigantic. The phrase “wall of sound” doesn’t do it justice, it’s an apartment block of sound.
only shallow: 7.5/10
Really groovy. Catchy guitar.
loomer: 6/10

Wow. That sound is incredible. I’ve never heard something like that before.

Not a fan. The late 2010’s was a great time for good pop music, this album doesn’t count.
“Jungle brothers on the microphone” other than that line, I can’t say I’ve ever heard these guys.
All the king crimson super fans who think that King Crimson is the best prog band seriously need to listen to 1 Rush album. King Crimson isn’t bad, but they’re no where as good as people say they are.
Not too bad really. When I saw the first song went for 11 minutes I nearly fell over. But the music is really good, a bit too long in some spots but it’s quality. I don’t like Jazz but I could listen to this album again.
Pink Floyd’s first album, featuring Syd Barrett and a respectable album duration-to-song ratio (probably the only album of Pink Floyd’s that does) with 11 songs in 41 minutes.
Astronomy Domine: 5.5/10
Instrumentation isn’t too bad at the start, but it the last few minutes just seem like a waste.
Lucifer Sam: 6/10
This riff sounds like a bond song.
Matilda Mother: 5/10
I don’t like the vocals on this track.
Flaming: 5.5/10
Pow R. Toc H.: 4/10
That intro is stupid. The song is pointless.
Take up thy stethoscope and walk: 5.5/10
That title is funny.
Interstellar overdrive: 6/10
That guitar riff is fucking amazing. If only they could write lyrics to it and make it a snappy 3 minute rock tune instead of a 9 minute instrumental.
The gnome: 5.5/10
Don’t mind it, a short song about gnomes. At least it’s direct. 👍
Chapter 24: 5/10
The scarecrow: 5/10
Bike: 6/10
Don’t mind it.
I’ve heard good things of this album but I’ve never heard it before.

Keithy on vocals for a song. The definition of rock and roll.

That guitar does not make it sound like a stones song. That intro threw me off
