It had been years since I last listened to it in full; today I gave it a thorough listen again, still a great masterpiece, flawless. Beautiful.

Good debut album, but the real acclaim will come later with gems like The Bends and Ok Computer, which are much more complete and varied. Just Creep, the well-known hit single, is worth the entire ticket, but there are also good tracks on this album...

    "Anyone Can Play Guitar" the best for me.

    Imagine that I even resold this, I didn't like it that much, but then again, as you say, the triple threat will come: The Bends, OK Computer, Kid A, and I'll add Amnesiac and Hail to the Thief as well.

    No, this doesn't say anything to me. Instead, I reassessed The Bends, a good album. I really like the trilogy from 1997 to 2001; they're three excellent albums. Then they go back to not saying anything to me anymore.

    I don't understand all this hate for this album.

    Hate seems excessive to me; it leaves me indifferent, I wouldn't even say it disgusts me.

    Well, I don’t hate it, but I see a ton of low ratings on DeBaser.

The first cigarette I smoked was while listening to this album, just released, with a friend. Today, doing the math—102,200 cigarettes later, averaging 20 a day—I listened to it in full again after 14 years and found it shining like never before, really beautiful, especially Paranoid Android, hard and melodic at the same time... (poor lungs...)

    I started smoking before it was released. Since the first listen in '97, not much has changed: there are the famous tracks I like, some less so. Anyway, it's not among my favorite listens, it’s not my genre. However, it's one of their best. I stopped at the narcoleptic Hail to the Thief :)

    I listened to it again today on my way back from the sea, after years of not hearing it anymore.. It’s still beautiful.. Fortunately, compared to back then, I’ve quit smoking. Exit music (for a film) is my favorite.. In fact, I’ll add it to my listening list now!

    I started in '96, I stopped in 2003, I restarted in 2006, and I still smoke today (I have to die of something). I listened to Ok Computer on Friday; it had been a while since I last did, but it’s still like the first time, and it reminded me of this OK Computer - Radiohead - Recensione di condor I also love the albums that followed, unlike Psycho, but you never forget your first love!

    It's amazing the number of users who have listened to the album in the last few days; even in the early afternoon in the new chat, which I've finally figured out how it works, Flo and I were listening to it at about the same song; one more reason, in my opinion, to define this important work by the English boys as a sound monument. It may seem trivial, but my favorite track remains, since 1997, No Surprises. Great album and great comeback from you, dear Hellraiser!!!!

    It's a shame to have waited all these years to fully savor it again. Lately, I've been rediscovering many albums from the '90s that I own but haven't listened to in ages, and this has taken me back to my 14 years, the golden years... then it's always a fantastic album, no doubt about it. How do you enter the chat? If someone explains it to me, I'll be grateful...

    I also had to have it explained to me dear Hell; I'm referring you to my listening today where flo and zanna guided me.

    Hell, just click the little button at the bottom right with "the heads," choose a room from the 4 available (next to it, you can see how many users are in each room), then write in the space below, hit enter, and wait for others to show you their love for the beautiful things you write!

    But what are you going to bring me!!!!! An album that hasn't lost an ounce of energy, with that muscular, abrasive sound and Zack's rapped vocals that were smashing; an album that's a bomb to the nth degree. KILLING IN THE NAME...

    I've always liked these, especially this one and Evil Empire. When I feel like smashing the world, I put these on...

    Their debut remains a raw and devastating masterpiece; do you get mad if I say that the continuation of their career has never really grabbed me? Of course, replicating a bomb like the self-titled first album wasn't easy.
After his experience with the Spirits, the young Randy California launches a new interesting project with the godfather and drummer Ed Cassidy and bassist Larry "Fuzzy" Knight. The result: a great album of covers/original songs, which didn’t receive much acclaim from critics but showcases all the excellent qualities of the musicians...

I had the chance to listen to it properly a few days ago on the train after a long time, still a great record, an excellent debut for the band from Athens. It flows smoothly, with no weak points, great harmonies, and an excellent cover of "There She Goes Again" by the VU (even though the original has its own charm). Great album...
Robert Wyatt: Rock Bottom

I took advantage of these festive days to listen to this album with the attention it deserves, one that I had never been fully convinced by before, and I must say I’ve changed my mind. Listening to it closely and taking a look at the lyrics, I can say it’s an excellent work, an absolute masterpiece...

    The most beautiful album in the world. I know it’s tough, but once it gets inside you, it leaves a deep mark.

    Strangely enough, it convinced me on the first listen. Beautiful.

    I loved it too much from the second listen... unforgettable was the third, when I literally burst into tears...
ROD STEWART: GASOLINE ALLEY
CD Audio I have it ★★★★
Stewart has always been a very controversial artist; personally, I hate his period from '76 onwards, where he transformed from an excellent interpreter and rocker into a pop phenomenon. However, his English period with the 5 albums for Mercury (1969-1975) is great; fantastic tracks, great live performances, and this album is the truest demonstration of that.
Rod Stewart: Never a Dull Moment
Vinile I have it ★★★★★
It's always nice to listen to this album again, the last of a perfect "trilogy," even though "An Old Raincoat.." and "Smiler" open and close a remarkable five years. This stands as a testament to a great frontman and a great voice from past decades, during the "Mercury" period, his best ever.
Rory Gallagher: Tattoo
CD Audio I have it ★★★★★
My favorite of the Irish artist's studio albums, among so many great works. Making him record studio albums was like keeping a lion in a cage; live, of course, he delivered a thousand times more...
Roy Harper: Stormcock

Taking advantage of the free time brought on by the flu, I was able to savor once again this masterpiece from a few years ago, just four long tracks of immense pleasure for my ears...

    I’m honest: this is one of the most beautiful "singer-songwriter" albums of all time, not a second wasted; I struggle to say which is the best song among the four (one day I want to say "Me and my woman," another day "Same old rock," and yet another "Hors d'Ouvres"). It pains me to admit, if this album had been written by an icon of songwriting like Dylan, it would be in every ranking of the greatest albums of all time in every magazine (but never mind, most magazines are abominable)... in short, it would be given more recognition... instead, it was written by Roy Harper, a cult artist who did everything to avoid compromises and fame. Five stars are even too few for this masterpiece.

    You are absolutely right. The only ones who appreciated him back then were a few colleagues, just think of the Zeps who dedicated "Hats Off (To Roy Harper)" to him, or the Pink Floyd, who called him to sing in "Have a Cigar" (without even paying or thanking him, but that was typical of Waters...). It's only in recent times that he has been reassessed, too late now, but at least he has always been a person consistent with his own ideas, both musical and in life. I could never really listen to his last one from a couple of years ago, do you know anything about it?

    Among Roy Harper's friends (74 years old) are Jimmy Page, Dave Gilmour, Paul McCartney, Keith Emerson, Bill Bruford, Bert Jansch, Mike Oldfield, Kate Bush, Pete Townshend, and Keith Moon, and for anyone else, this would have meant a tremendous career. However, Roy has frequently faced jail and mental institutions, and he has released music on about ten different labels (about ten years with Harvest thanks to Gilmour's intervention, which is why they made a mutual appearance in 1975; Waters had nothing to do with it and was even against it). I've heard he's going through a tough time, but he's truly a survivor.

    The esteem that all the greatest names in English rock pay to Harper can be linked (more for the excellent quality of the songs; I know all his albums from 1966 to 1977 and none of them is less than decent, and for his skill as an acoustic guitarist) especially to the character who is free from conventions and idiosyncratic towards the music industry... that said: "Hats Off (To Roy Harper)!"

    Great album. I actually prefer the next one, "Chicken Skin Music." Then "Show Time" will come to wrap up an incredible trilogy.
