Pretty good. Easy going. Nice arrangements. 8.
Some would say quintessential Jack White but I would say typical. An okay 3.
Very unrelatable and very bland.
A classic. I'm very familiar with this album but not one I listen to very often.
Solid 3. There are better Rolling Stones albums out there.
A real chore of an album to get through. I know QOTSA from the singles but was never inticed to listen to a full album before. I get that they are a highly rated band and live act but I just can't find the will the enjoy this.
Happy to see this pop up. It's decent and very low-key
Not bad, well suited for background music. Familiar with this great man's hits but I rarely would listen to a full album from the back catalogue, so I appreciated getting this one today.
Two standout and genuinely good songs on this album. Sound of Someone... and Chartered Flight.
Other than that, it's very much a British middle-class public school poncy dinner party experiment with way too much cello.
Given a 3 but only because there are two actually good tracks, other than that it's a 2.
Very good album, will listen again. Good songwriting, musicianship and nicely recorded.
Not bad, not sure I will re-listen, hope to get another queen album in the future.
Was impressed with the Roger Taylor vocals on that one track, thought it was Robert Plant for a minute
Heard this one before, good album. Amazing for a 1969 release though.
Often heard Tim Buckley's name mentioned, never listened before. I believe his other work is more folky, but I hated this.
74 mins long. An entire CD worth of music... some of it is great (the singles) and the rest is fairly mediocre.
Not great, kinda get what he's trying to do but it's more a piss take to an imaginary film soundtrack then a homage.
You wouldn't ordinarily listen to this. Felt the same about the penguin cafe album.
It's a great album. I tried to get into early Bowie before and I never could, but I really enjoyed this and happy to out it into rotation for the occasional re-listen.
This is great, really enjoyed this album. Great for late night listening.
Have not listened to this in 20 years. Forgot how great an album it is.
Not for me, though wildfires was a good track. Very hip coffee shop music.
I'm not a jazz enthusiast but I dip in occasionally and this is a decent album.
It's a live album, it feels like the same jam all the way through. It just didn't suit my mood this morning. Maybe you would enjoy it if you like the doors.
I don't enjoy listening to "Rock and Roll", always makes me feel strangely unnerved.
That said, I appreciate that Little Richard was a great performer and I can see why kids in the fifties would dig it. Not for me.
Hip hop isn't my thing but I appreciate the chance to give this a go. Sounds ok, wouldn't rush back to relisten
I hated this band as a teenager when it came out and this album isn't my cup of tea at all. But being older and wiser, I can kind of appreciate the humour in it a bit more.
It's still a 2 because it kind of annoys me musically, really jars to listen into if you are just not into whimsical stuff.
The Cardigans have at least two 4 star albums (long gone and Gran Turismo are excellent) but I just don't get early Cardigans stuff.
I don't think I really listened to this since it came out in the early 2000s. In the years that passed, I never considered myself much of a Coldplay enthusiast and therefore no need to revisit it. It's better than I remember.
It's not for everyone, I totally understand the "Coldplay are bland" jibes and how insufferable Chris Martin became, but this is still a very enjoyable and well written album. Good, simple, thoughtful, minimalistic and well-crafted songs in my view.
I'm a big fan of the title track, I forgot how great that is. Never thought I would give it a 4 but here we are. Miles better that I remember.
I like a couple of Sonic Youth albums already, never listened to this before. Its okay. It's a hard listen if you suffer from panic attacks but an easy one if you are well used to Sonic Youth
I've always being a greatest hits hendrix type listener so I'm thankful to get an excuse to revisit the back catalogue.
I don't know what I was expecting as I hear Frank Ocean is highly rated and critically acclaimed.
This just didn't cut it for me, felt like any other smoozy R&B album. There were some highlights, like the arrangement in Pyramids but even then it just felt full of those tired modern R&B tropes that is omnipresent in today's popular music.
I think if I heard this album on a late night I might feel different about it. The second half of the album is much better than the first half so at least it started to get better.
Well recorded for a very early 80s pink album. I totally get the energy here and I reckon the gigs were hardcore. Not my scene and while I don't really enjoy this, going to give it a 3 because did actually help me focus on some work tasks this morning.
Very typical of its time but in a way it's unfair to lump the manics in with the rest of Brit Pop.
I saw this band live a couple of times in the late 90s and they were good gigs but I was never a massive fan. Same with this album.
It belongs in the list, for sure. Some real classics here, you could say some tracks are a little bland but can't deny the influence this had on other artists over the years.
I'm a big fan of their bassist, a real understated groove, great musicianship
This album is beautiful and raw. Genuinely a masterpiece.
It sounds incredible. There's a real live sounding energy to this album that I've never got from any other Pumpkins albums or any other band.
Even as a double LP, I never felt there was any filler as every song has a purpose, even the bsides are worth checking out. Also never felt I had to listen to this album in it's entirety. I could easily play disc one or two as separate albums.
Thirty-three is my one of my favourite songs of all time. Other highlights are Ruby, Muzzle, Bodies, XYU, Love and Ode to No One. But it's all good. It's the best of the nineties.
This felt like a very quick album. Enjoyed it as it's a very inoffensive collection of songs. She's a great songwriter.
Some people love the blues, not for me. That said, very well recorded album and some great guitar licks.
I'll give it a 3 out of respect as it is a decent blues album even if I don't particularly like the blues.
It was OK, actually it made made go back and listen to a few tracks from stoosh and paranoid and sunburnt.
Some singles and some fillers.
My perception of this band and album is based on when it was released in early 2000s. I liked the single "Take me out" but I found the whole album too energetic all the time.
I always thought they were a little pretentious and arty too. But I recently read Stuart Braithwaite (of Mogwai) who talks of Alex Kapranos in a really good light and how pivotal he was in the Glasgow music scene and the support he gave Mogwai and other local Scottish bands through his promotion work. Really impressed by that.
Rating a 3 as it's not a stellar album for me but I appreciate that it's trying to do something different and I'm glad they got a break after years in the business.
Tom Petty is great easy listening but all you need is a greatest hits.
Whatever I have to say, it's already been said. It couldn't be anything other than 5 stars.
Pleasantly surprised for this recommendation as I would never given it the time otherwise. I knew the weight and this wheels on fire already. Last song is great. It's a bit heavy on the clanky piano, but it's a solid 3 nonetheless.
Very repetitive and ultimately boring. Shame cause it is nicely recorded and has some interesting sounds.
Solid 3 but the album kind of fizzled out at the end. It's really remarkable how much it sounds like modern indie spiky guitar music, obviously a massive influence 20 to 30 years after its release.
Always been a fan of Paul Wellers solo work so nice to revisit the Jam every now and again.
One of my favorite albums of all time already.
OK, I judged this by the cover immediately and I was just not on the mood for whatever this was. I wasn't surprised at all by how it sounded.
That said, for some reason, I loved it. Right off the bat, I felt this guy is absolutely taking the piss and I'm here for it.
I'm going to give it a wildcard 4 as it just worked for me tonight and I'll come back to it again.
