Rated 8/10
More subdued than most of her work in a way that complements it well. I tend to overlook this album compared to her more bombastic ones but I'm really appreciating her work crafting the beats and melodies here.
Rated 10/10
S tier Bowie album. One of the GOATs
Rated 8/10
I’m often not a huge fan of typical singer-songwriter albums like this but Fiona just has such a powerful voice and creative and lush instrumentation that I can’t help but love it. Absolute classic album totally worthy of being here.
Rated 4/10
Not the strongest album of theirs in my opinion. Definitely miss the edge of their earlier stuff
Rated 6/10
Very 80s. I'd heard Take on Me of course but nothing else to my knowledge. Definitely sounds like the Take on Me band.
Rated 8/10
An interesting mix of genres and styles here. I really haven't given Elvis Costello as much of a chance as I should've. This album is fun and consistently upbeat even when it gets a bit more edge on some songs.
Still just as hype as the first time I heard it. Amazing beats and amazing raps. Definitely a classic.
Rated 6/10
I love new wave. It definitely feels dated but I can’t help but still dig it. This album is one of the better ones
Rated 10/10
Interesting to see another of their early albums here. I don't give these enough listens honestly. This album is just full of classic songs.
Rated 8/10
Classic in the post-punk goth genre. Tough to listen to given the circumstances around its release but it's so powerful at the same time.
Rated 4/10
The bongos are a fun gimmick for a song or two but get tiring. I could see myself throwing a song from this into a playlist easily but I'm not sure how much I would want to listen to the entire album.
Rated 6/10
I love me some 70s prog. This album has some high highs and some low lows. Not my favorite Genesis album but when it hits it hits hard
Rated 8/10
Definitely a deserved classic of the 2010s. Powerful and catchy album with an absolutely STACKED set of collaborators.
Rated 6/10
I’m not super well-versed in rockabilly but I liked this one quite a bit. I dig the cover too.
Rated 2/10
Ugh again?
This is a kick ass jazz album. His connection to Fela Kuti is fascinating as well. Weirdly it reminds me of SimCity 3000 music a bit!
Rated 10/10
Definitely needed to be in 1001 Albums with the amount of influence this album has had on punk rock. Also it slays.
Rated 8/10
Classic chamber pop album. Love the vocals and pretty instrumentals.
Rated 4/10
I liked this album when I was younger but it's definitely aged a bit poorly.
Rated 8/10
2009 best year for indie rock. I've listened to some Wild beasts but never a full album I don't believe. I really enjoyed this. Dude has a killer falsetto and there's a nice variety of instrumentals.
