The Album Review Club - Week #145 - (page 1923) - Tellin' Stories - The Charlatans

So you are punishing the record because professional critics ranked it higher.

What score would you give Toys?
No I’d give it a 6 regardless, maybe a little better. I have to say I was a little surprised. I kept waiting for another Back In The Saddle but it never came. Sorry mate. It’s good; I mean good enough that if you put it on I’d not complain but if you gave me a choice I wouldn’t pick it.

But in addition it’s overrated, especially compared to Toys. Is it a watershed for music generally or even just this band? A top 500 record? Not in my view.

Toys is an 8 leaning 9.

Such a long successful thread that sadly gets ruined time to time by the odd ‘it’s fuckin shit’ posts when they’ve not even given it a listen - be nice if this one was kept free from trolls.

Because the 3000 words reflect what I know about music and the 2 words reflect what you know, I’d say. 1500 times more sounds about right.
I am more than happy to bow to your superior knowledge of Aerosmith.
