All Time Top 1100 Albums (Aerosmith - Big Ones) P265

[mancity2012_eamo]

Had it on while preparing dinner last night.
Wasn’t expecting much having read the early reviews in here, but in all honesty it’s not as bad as some are making out.
It’s inoffensive, without raising the standard to interesting although the 1st tune after the intro was actually not bad, but didn’t know when to stop.
The singing is not as bad as people are making out but without a clue as to what the are singing about, I kind of lost interest with that too.

I don’t know if I would even call this enigmatic, which some background music achieves but in fairness, I won’t score this until I’ve endured, sorry, listened to it again.

First listen was uninspiring.

Here we go! each week a randomly selected album (Random Number Generator) from 'Colin Larkin's All Time Top 1000 Albums' & Rolling Stone Top 100 00’s will be reviewed and scored.

Ideally if i can get 10 or more posters to give their score out of 10 by next weeks review then i will give it a Bluemoon average rating and compile a league table format. So, if you haven’t listened to the album before - give it a go and score within 6 days.

To help with average ratings, please score out of 10 simply ie: 3/10, 6/10, 9/10 etc not 3.1/10, 6.5/10, 9.6/10 etc , a zero score will count as 1/10 to enable a average out of 10.

Good review - Led Zep or Talking Heads?

Led Zep, couldn't warm to it.

Vote deadline later today for those who mentioned having another listen and scoring.

Jonsi is a beautiful alien.

A great record.

Great record for Insomniacs, and I don't mean that in a disparaging way, it's just the type of music it is, relaxing.

It's probably worth more than the 5/10 I'm giving it, but I've yet to listen to the whole album due to nodding off every time before the end.
Put it this way, I wouldn't play this in the car on a long motorway trip...
