Walking Wounded

2.18

I had never heard this album before though I think I may have heard Everything But The Girl a couple times randomly in the past. This album was not really as strong as others from the sort of mid-90s trip hop/drum and bass genre. It was fine but it was just sort of background music. I didn't hate it, listened to it while working and it was totally fine for that. Nothing in the music really distracted me from whatever else I was doing, it was just kind of playing in the background and was certainly serviceable for that purpose. I wasn't excited to get play this one again but neither was I really itching for it to be over. 2.5/5

Sounds like the type of music you'd hear in the queue for Oblivion at Alton Towers

Repetitive, they all sounded the same and too long

Not for me, thanks

I really like Tracey Thorn's voice and some of EBTG's songwriting over the years but late 90s/early 00s polite electronica is so dull. Let's give it some Aphex acid you...

I knew some tracks, but hadn't listened to the whole album before, enjoyed it more than I thought.

Similarly, I kept finding myself muttering "...and I miss you" on most of the choruses.

Pretty cool pop. The voice reminds me of Annie Lennox. I really liked downtempo for a while. My taste has changed in the meantime. But maybe I'll listen to it again now.
4/5

Wonderfully produced, but lyrics are a constant bummer.

Good album liked the chilled vibe and the vocals, not sure I’ll revisit it though,

This is a collection of the same dance song blended and rearranged track by track. its a good song but never shifts out of a second gear for me.

I do actually like a decent amount of this - she has a great voice and has some really great lyrics - but it’s just not totally my thing from a musical perspective. Could stand a revisit of this someday.

3/5

Pish, the sound of an indie band trying to make dance music because of a hit remix - the same reason moloko failed after sing it back. A couple of decent songs, and they seem like nice people, but there is absolutely no need for this to be included on the list.

Not really my thing, though not terrible. 2/5

British ambient trip hop/electronica. Not bad mood music. Nothing to write home about, but not bad in the background.

Favourite songs: Wrong, Flipside, Big Deal, Mirrorball

Least favourite songs: Good Cop Bad Cop

4/5

If you like the sound of any of their radio singles, you'll enjoy this. It's basically one long song, but it's a good one.

smooth, pretty, a little dance, very nice.

Not sure why EBTG gets two entries on this list. Similar to the first, this was completely average (maybe even slightly below). 2/5

Nice harmonies, but nothing amazing here

Mediocre trip hop

Virkelig kedelig og generisk

I find this album to just be a better executed version of what Madonna tried to do a couple years later with Ray of Light. It's still relatively boring here, but there's more actual interesting beats here, and it went by a lot faster. I feel like this album just is good at feeling like a more vocal heavy version of a vocal track on one of the electronic artists' albums from a few years earlier, and that makes it more interesting. Still don't get including remixed tracks on the main tracklist, that's annoying.
