My Mission
My aim is to review the 3000 greatest albums of all time! I am using a list taken from the Acclaimed Music Website (www.acclaimedmu.... Do I have the stamina to review them all? Only time will tell. I also do a few "off list" reviews: some new releases, some albums I like that are not on the list, and some *request reviews*. If you want to request a review of an album (I'm not making any promises) leave a comment on any video on the channel. More details in this intro video: • [Request Reviews] Intr...
My Ethos
These reviews are intended for a "general audience", I try not to assume specialist or genre-specific knowledge, and I try to make these reviews accessible rather than elitist. I am more interested in what an album is like as a standalone listening experience than the importance or contribution of an album to the art of music. I give context, description and opinion, and try to keep it short and snappy. Want to know more about why I am doing this, and what my process is? Check out this video: • 3000 Best Albums Revie...

Oh I LOVE this album!! Cope is one of the great lost treasures of the 80's. I'm a major fan. Although, I am at odds with a lot of internet fandom - I prefer Saint Julian, which is often derided as too commercial. I picked this up at a second-hand record market back in October and I felt like running around the place holding it over my head like it was the FA Cup. I'm gonna go and try and find it and play it right now! Krautrocksampler is brillant!
I was going to make a video once saying "if you like this (insert boring classic rock fart here), then you should listen to (insert cool hip band that no one talks about)" and I was going to say instead of listening to John Lennon's flaccid and pointless solo work, listen to Julian Cope instead.
I got a copy of My Nation Underground on the strength of hearing Charlotte Anne, which I liked. I didn't really click with the rest of the album.
As you know, I have a big foot in the prog world. Krautrocksampler is regarded as a seminal work in that world.
@@Foul_Quince I like it. There are, of course, some John Lennon albums to come, but no more solo Julian Cope
@@dansminialbumreviews More than one. Good Lord. Once again, I don't envy you your work!
@@Foul_Quince On the bright side, there's only one Taylor Swift album in the whole list. And no Minaj.
I really like a lot of this album.
If you want to get a sense of Cope, the usual mentions are for 'Jehovakill' and 'Peggy Suicide', and stuff like 'Autogeddon' and '20 Mothers' are accessible enough without losing the sometimes unhinged Copey-ness of it. He can be quite funny at times. He had a spell after 'Fried' (but before the aforementioned albums) where he found chart success with the radio-friendly "St Julian" and "My Nation Underground" albums, and they're certainly very accessible but perhaps not quite as psychedelic (or just obtuse and envelope-pushing) as his later stuff.
It was interesting to hear what a non-fan made of it - and I think your descriptions are pretty fair. Subscribed, and I need to find the time to back-track through your list now...!
Thanks for subscribing, and for commenting. I try to reply to as many comments as seems sensible, so feel free to pitch in on others. Of course I should encourage you to watch all of my other reviews, but let's be honest, there's a lot! And I'm still not quite 1/3 off the way through.
No more Julian Cope on the list. I do request reviews (never guaranteed but I do 95% I am asked for) so if you want to push more Julian Cope (or anything else) my way, that's the way to do it. Just ask in any comment on any video and I should see it.
