Pretty solid, but unfortunately didn't quite reach the heights it's reputation set for me.

Edit: 77-> 86

On second listen a lot of elements really clicked for me. I'm still not sold on the vocals for the most part, and some other things still haven't quite landed for me, but it's definitely a grower of an album

Entirely mesmerising, it drew me in and captivated me until the very end. A brilliant album.

This album just didn't convince me or win me over - I can't pinpoint why either. Something just didn't click and I found very little enjoyment in the overall listening experience, especially towards the very end of the album. Saying that, some certain tracks did catch my attention and may lead to me revisiting this in the future to see if my opinion changes.

Really enjoyable, well worth a listen!

A more mature, more raw version of their stellar debut album, albeit it a bit more relaxed/less energetic. A really nice listen that showcases their true sound to the fullest extent.

Pretty bland and flat - never really did much and ended up being quite a boring listen.

Full to the brim with Bronski Beat's iconic sound, it's not a surprise that this album is so important to many. The reason it scores lower for me is that their sound whilst iconic has not aged as well as others from the same era, and the album becomes quite one dimensional as you listen through it. It's a solid album and worth a listen, but not as spectacular as I hoped it may be.

Not all that impressive

Pretty enjoyable if not a little too long for my personal liking (certainly began to drag on at times). I've never been fully convinced by Sigur Rós' sound, but this is the most I've been able to get into their music so far - the final track Popplagið builds beautifully into a stunning crescendo of intensity. This album has definitely given me a reason to keep exploring Sigur Rós' catalogue.

Pretty damn cheesy for the most part, but it's a short burst of energy that is wildly catchy and has some real unique sounds at times too. 'Do Me Like That' is personally my pick for the best song of the four.

I unironically enjoyed Ventolin.

I'd also say this album has one of the strongest closing runs about, with everything from the perfect Alberto Balsalm onwards absolutely stellar. It's a little weaker than I hoped before that, but it's still a terrific album that is a must listen for most. :)

Definitely gets stronger as it progresses, but it never really did much to captivate me and felt lacking in many aspects. There are some solid songs here, but not enough to bring me back to this album in the future

Could not wait for it to end in all honesty - a real struggle to get through. It's so loud yet so bland at the same time, as if it's come out of a poorly written musical. Not a fan.

Feels like it tries too hard throughout most of the album, with many of the concepts not landing as they likely hoped they would. Many of the tracks just don't sound all that good, and the disjointed sound becomes irritating quite quickly. Bonedigger is the standout track here, closing out the album with some quality.

It's brilliant, but the biggest issue is that you absolutely have to want to listen for it for it to be a good album. If you are just browsing albums and this comes on it can easily feel long-winded, boring, and samey. Saying that, it's still a pretty great album and closes with one of my favourite tracks :)

I need another listen to come to a complete conclusion, but on first listen this album was absolutely brilliant

It's like The Pillows made an angry album. It's such a unique sound with a combination of heavy metal, punk, rap, and an almost indie sound at times, but I fell in love with its quirkiness. It's brilliantly unique, and a whirlwind of a listen!

Quite samey, but actually a really nice listen and definitely something you can zone out to.

Unspectacular, but pretty enjoyable. Young Folks is a standout for obvious reasons

Some absolutely brilliant British Post-Punk.
