Idlewild

Sinceramente esperaba una muy mala experiencia, despues de haber leído unas cuantas reseñas pensaba que sería un album muy malo, principalmente vi comentarios muy malos hacia los instrumentos que aunque no son excelentes tantopo lo vi para tanto, las letras no son tampoco las mejores pero pues al menos a mi me gustó el album, bonitas notas y algo tranquilo

Pretty but boring

No. Sorry. The 80s is sometimes much maligned, but this bland twee synth nonsense is fully deserving of the hate. 100% the soundtrack to lots of posh Chelsea Girls with big hair and excessive makeup swaying whilst drinnking their cocktails and arsehole traders in suits talking about how much money they earned that day.

Ik dacht altijd dat Everything but the girl mega-saai was. Tot deze lijst mij het jaren '90 album met Missing presenteerde. Ik kon de Triphop-klanken prima waarderen. Hoezo saai? Nou, om toch even te laten horen dat ik niet gek was, krijg ik nu een album uit de '80's voorgeschoteld. Welterusten!

"Mr. President, a second Everything But The Girl album has been included"

😭😭😭

great mellow album

I love Thracy Thorn's voice, and really enjoyed their other album, but this one doesn't do it for me. Most of the songs sound like something that would be played on an "easy listening" radio station.

Musically it's the worst parts of the 80's but the vocals are beautiful. Favorite track: Oxford Street

not my type of music but ok for background

B.O.R.I.N.G.

Nice surprise

This duo eventually puts out some great music. They aren't there yet on this album

someone go back to the 80s and introduce these two to the magic of caffeine, please, because this album is an energy sapping mood disaster

so tame, so safe, so inoffensive, so blah

This album was more boring than I expected it to be…too many slow grooves that go nowhere.

Mom can we stop for Sade?

"We have Sade at home"

*the Sade at home*:

Dire

Not awful but a bit schmaltzy for me.

This album is the musical embodiment of the color beige. I can’t imagine anyone would react to this at all one way or the other. 2.5/5

Didn’t expect to find two EBTG records on this list. This one is a bit too elevator music for me.

Tracey Thorn has such a great voice, but blimey, this is bland. Everything But the Girl were in their mid-20s when they made this album, but it all seems a bit self-consciously 'grown up'.
