Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not

All Ratings

Buena Vista Social Club

4/5

The Man Machine

Kraftwerk

3/5

Enjoyed this quirky Teutonic robo adventure. Probably another album that sounds a little small by virtue of how much it influenced those that followed...

Court And Spark

Joni Mitchell

5/5

Yankee Hotel Foxtrot

Wilco

5/5

Paranoid

Black Sabbath

4/5

Awesome!

Sticky Fingers

The Rolling Stones

3/5

This album was good but life is short - listen to something that doesn't start with Brown Sugar

Shaka Zulu

Ladysmith Black Mambazo

4/5

This is really nice! Beautiful harmonies. Can't speak to significance but a nice album at face value

Soul Mining

The The

2/5

I like the instrumentation etc but it didn't really grab me in any way on the first listen. I might be wrong!

Desperate Youth, Blood Thirsty Babes

TV On The Radio

3/5

Although I didn't have time to see if I'd warm up to the more obtuse sides of this record, it was really inventive and interesting! Honestly debated a 4 and would have preferred a 3.5 but there you have it

Henry's Dream

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

3/5

His singing style on this album is pretty hard to get into but even on first listen it's clear some songs (e.g., Loom of the Earth) are really good. Maybe it would grow on you.

Heroes

David Bowie

2/5

It surprised me that this is a big Bowie album! I liked the title track and the long ambient part of the album but haven't yet clicked with the rest

Pretenders

2/5

This album had a few songs I liked but wasn't something I'd really seek out on the balance

Hot Buttered Soul

Isaac Hayes

4/5

Dig it. Cool to hear this type of music in superlongform version. Would like to better understand the historical context of this album.

Jazz Samba

Stan Getz

5/5

Boss

The Queen Is Dead

The Smiths

5/5

Life is very long When you're lonely

Stardust

Willie Nelson

4/5

This is a really nice album for putting on and listening to!

Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not

Arctic Monkeys

1/5

Chris

Christine and the Queens

4/5

Don't waste your time listening to the bad anglicized versions, skip to the French half of the album which is way better

Green Onions

Booker T. & The MG's

3/5

Enjoyed this! It sounds almost cliche in many places, which I assume reflects how much they influenced later groups

...Baby One More Time

Britney Spears

1/5

I was really expecting to come back and like this album and acknowledge that I was wrong and it is in fact a classic but actually no, I still don't like Brittany Spears
