This is one of my all time favorite music videos. That being said, this is the first time I've actually listened to this album. It's about what I expected. I've never been a huge electronic fan. I actually prefer the more analog sound of Random Access Memories. However, if I was in the mood for something along this line, this album would do just fine. I'll go 3/5

I don't remember anything about Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating in Space, I only remember hearing it around the time of its release and not really being into it at all. Part of this probably stems from one of the HMV coworkers with a bit of a snobbier bent who has cropped up a couple of times throughout these challenges as well. Either way, this is the first time I've listened to Spiritualized since back then, and I can dig exactly why I wouldn't have liked it much back then, and why I do like it very much now. Will definitely be revisiting this, and likely their entire catalogue. 4+

This would've been a 4 back when and is still a 4 now. I definitely liked the "big beat" stuff a bit more than the house-y stuff, but this still slaps!

This was Day 9 of my personal [paused/abandoned] project...

Took me three sessions to get through this one due to life and kids. Basically one record each session (but streamed because I don't have this one). Going in, I wondered if the length of it may be detrimental at all, but it most certainly isn't. Front to back this thing is packed with absolute goodness - and I don't believe that's the bias of George being my favourite Beatle speaking. The man could write amazing songs. Shame on Paul and John for shunning them, but also yay for us - because this got put out into the world. Not a wasted moment on here. "It's Johnny's Birthday" may be a bit of a lark, but it's short enough that it doesn't grow tiresome. And the Apple Jams after two discs of great songs may well be my favourite part of the album. Five stars; must acquire.

The best post Beatles Album by one of the four. George had been ignored or regulated to a minor role in his former band, meanwhile he developed all his songs into this. A powerful statement of music and spirituality, it’s actually unparalleled in western music. A cracking roster of guests. Phil Spector’s best production outside of his his own Philles sound. 5 stars
 
Never been a huge The Who-fan, but I really liked this album! I had only heard the classic singles, and I expected this to be mostly filler like most debut pop albums of this era. But songs like The Good’s Gone, A Legal Matter and It’s Not True are almost as great as the title track and The Kids are Alright. 4 stars!
