Big ol’ separation of art and artist for this one.
If I was in the audience, I would be going nuts.

Some amazing songs. There's a huge amount of power in this but it gets a little bit lost in chugga-chicka-wugga towards the end. The bass in the quieter moments (like Settle for Nothing) reminded me of Slint!
Rated 6/10

As usual with Bob, I like the jangly, folky stuff and don’t like the blues stuff at all.
Rated 8/10
Throwback to GCSE music when All Blues was on the syllabus. John Coltrane almost upstages Miles on this album!
Rated 8/10
Not perfect, but some sweet, lighthearted tunes (and some all time classics)
Rated 10/10
Side A is absolutely outstanding and Side B is just pretty good. I still think it averages out at nearer 5 than 4 tho
Rated 8/10
As an album experience it’s a lot of slow jams, but when they’re this quality you can’t really complain. 3.5 but giving it a 4 as 3 is way too harsh.
Rated 8/10
Really liked the majority of this. Couple of weaker tracks towards the end
Rated 6/10
Much preferred this when it was ambient, the cheesy 80s production does it no favours
Rated 8/10
Hypnotic flow, creepy beats and very funny
Rated 4/10
Pffffft, just not a big electric blues guy. Liked the more psychedelic elements. And Sunshine of your Love is a tune
Rated 6/10
That’s music for Nan’s birthday sorted!
I quite liked the songs individually but as a whole album, it blurs into one. Thought that the bonus tracks would have been a decent addition to the actual album as they were chiller and would have broken it up a bit.
Rated 10/10
Exactly the kind of bollocks I love. Bonus points also for Todd stepping up as a Dad to Liv Tyler when Steven Tyler failed to.

Like proto-Pixies. Fab.
Rated 8/10
Lovely. Might need a few more listens for me to get the full benefit
Rated 6/10
Some catchy moments and the clean production is fun but some tunes had me a tad bored
Rated 6/10
The album starts so strongly and then just doesn’t stick the landing in my opinion. That classic fast paced thundering rhythm and wailing guitar is just not for me, I prefer them going hell for leather on a catchy tune.
Rated 6/10
Perfectly nice but wouldn’t call it game changing
Rated 8/10
Ah I love these guys. Catchy punk that’s funny and got a lot of melody.
