"The way I look at it is that I’ve been searching for the perfect album to drink beer to my whole life. As far as that goes, this is it. This is the album. Perfect music to get drunk to: Iggy Pop and The Stooges. It’s just that raw energy. All the pieces are there, but it’s not squeaky clean. Like his album Raw Power, that’s exactly what his music is. Take your shirt off and chug a beer. That’s all there is to life at that point when you listen to that record."

I really think that Royal Blood did well to set their tone through this album. Reminding me of a more brooding Slaves, their riffs and drums really pull it out of the bag on some of the tracks. However, on a full hearing of the album, all of the songs sound slightly similar. This not only shows that they have mastered their style, but it also shows that they are somewhat stuck in their ways - and for a first album, I don't really think that that should be the case.

Rolling Stone's 454th greatest album of all time
A surprising album from the shock-rocker. Some songs are very similar to the Rolling Stones and Bowie, with a definite pomp to them. Others like the brooding and dark Black Juju show more of his emerging style that would become his trademark. Standout tracks are I'm Eighteen and Hallowed Be My Name (which I am convinced I have heard a cover version of but cannot found who did it!). The album closes with an odd rendition of Rolf Harris' Sun Arise for no apparent reason...

Rolling Stone's 448th greatest album of all time
The Police's final album and you can tell that the band have started to go in different directions. Sting has largely disappeared, rectally, and the songs all show a much slower pace than their post-punk origins, showing more jazz influence and much more laid back in general. Oddly, all the recognisable singles (the massive "Every Breath You Take", "King of Pain" and "Wrapped Around Your Finger") are squeezed in at the end of the album, with not much of interest coming before those.

Rolling Stone's 407th greatest album of all time
When you compare the tracklisting of this triple-album to that of the Story of the Clash, it is clear this is not their best material. A triple-album is a brave move and has to be backed up with quality throughout. Sadly that isn't the case here. While it is a good enough listen, there is not a lot that stands out (mainly Magnificent Seven). For fans of dub and white men doing reggae. The version of Somebody Got Murdered is a travesty.
