Rated 8/10
My second beautiful south album in a week, and also my first repeated artist. Luckily I liked this one
Rated 6/10
I liked Mirror. I don't particularly like Heaton's vocals, whether he's doing a bad Tom Waits impression or not.(But it's worse when he is; that song is dreadful). A low three.
Rated 8/10
80's British pop rock /folk pop. They formed after The Housemartins disbanded (I had one of their albums in the post list already..... "London 0 Hull 4"). After they broke up, band drummer David Hemmingway and vocalist Paul Heaton formed this band.
Favourite songs: Don't Marry Her, Rotterdam (Or Anywhere), Little Blue, Mirror, The Sound of North America, Foundations, Liar's Bar, One God
Least favourite songs: Blackbird on the Wire
4/5
Rated 8/10
Folk punk? Strange but fun
Rated 6/10
Alt-folk stuff, a genre I tend to like, but this one was a little all over the place. Not sure I needed a Tom Waits knockoff on the one song. I didn't hate it, but didn't love it.
Rated 4/10
Bit too radio for me unfortunately. It's inoffensive but just doesn't grip me at all.
Rated 5/10
Starts off real smooth, so that it can then start talking dirty at you. Fun enough.
Rated 2/10
Where do you live?
Rated 10/10
One of mu favourite bands since childhood - so funny and talented.
Rated 8/10
This was a massive album in the 90’s with some great hit songs. Not going to pretend this is the greatest album ever (it’s got a lot of filler), but surely it deserves to be on the original list.
Rated 4/10
Sometimes you can judge an album by it's cover.
