Couple of bangers

Generous 4 but the singles still bang

This is fantastic, one of the best discoveries so far

Enjoying these Yes albums more than I'd expect

2.5 maybe, the dumb glam metal tracks work far better

Falls off near the end but there's incredible music here. Was always more of a metal box dude

The singles avoid it being a 1, garbage. I saw them live before they launched the album and being heavily hyped, and didn't think much of them back then - hasn't aged well at all, just a band with few ideas

Very bowie in parts but good stuff

Honkytonk isn't really my thing - enjoyed it but nothing earthshattering

Scalpel-precision riffs

haven't listened to this in a loong time, appreciated different things about it now - a very odd record

Some standout tracks but this largely feels like it shouldn't have been released in its present state

The highs are stratospheric but waaaaaaay too long

A lanky American Fall

Still so rad, listened to this a lot growing up but appreciated it more now. What a talent

Went in expecting to hate this but it's very listenable. Not something I'm going to spin on the regular, but can understand their appeal a bit more now

RZAs most oppressive production work, almost sounds like it's cursed at times. I'd always thought this was one of the weaker initial run solo albums from the Wu-Tang Clan but on relisten this isn't the case at all - Method Man maybe lacks some of the artistry of GZA and Raekwon but has charisma in absolute spades

Contains some of the best music I've ever heard, also contains over-indulgent plinkplonk jazz excess. My least favourite of the classic electric miles era

Warming to Adele, has to be said

Have tried listening to this about 6 times at night and never made it all the way to the end as always fell asleep. Not objectionable but nothing I'm going to listen to our of choice
