Wish they’d disconnected before making this album.

This is the sort of thing I love discovering through this project. An album I don’t suppose I’d have ever listened to otherwise which would have been a real shame as I really liked a lot of it.

Think Wilco probably edged it for me but I liked the alternative, different styles between them and Billy. California Stars is a great track.

Really enjoyed this one, better than I was expecting.

Never really been into ravage particularly but can usually appreciate it for its place in music. I actually quite enjoyed this one as it flowed nicely and had a good sound.

This album is alright but just feels a bit lacking and unexciting and just doesn’t really stand out as a great addition to the 90’s musical offerings.

Some nice vibes but I struggled to really get into it.

Another one of those albums where the singles feel like they’ve been so played to death that I’ve ignored the album for many years. I couldn’t remember what to expect but having listened again it’s a great album with a number of really good album tracks that will be going on the playlist. I really liked a Northern Soul and this is a continuation of that sound but it all just feels a lot bigger. Won’t be leaving it so long to listen again.

I guess you really need to be American to enjoy this sort of thing.

Not for me this one.

Very little rejoicing from me here, whether in the hands or elsewhere.

This one grew on me a lot the more I listened to it and I really quite liked a lot of it.

Pleasant enough in places and largely inoffensive. As a result it was also pretty bland and overall nothing much to set the pulse racing.

Quite liked the sound of some of the songs on this album which is just as well as I don’t have a clue what the chap was singing.

Was aware of Little Simz but never listened to any of their stuff. The album was a good length and had a decent flow to it. Very listenable as well which surprised me.

The sound was alright but hard to get past the lyrics. I’m sure this is a big deal for people into rap but I can’t say I’m a big fan.

Interesting sound. Better than some other similar albums we’ve had from the time. Not a bad effort.

So, so good. As good today as it was back in the day. Probably deserves more than 5 stars but my hands are tied there.

Feared the worst but pleasantly surprised how much of this I actually quite enjoyed.

Quite enjoyed a lot of this one, certainly much more than I was expecting to. A couple of tracks I skipped on the third run through but overall one I will probably revisit at some point.

A really good album with some great songs. Another artist that I really should have taken notice of sooner!
