This isn't an album, it's a fucking ordeal.

Ranty, arty music.

The fuck is JK worth $70m for producing this dirge. Some bloke singing over a thrift shop jazz record. If you want to stop the Emergency on Planet Earth, stop landing your fucking helicopter on wildlife.

Probably the best Public Enemy album.

A bit overlong, but still an interesting album. It has more in common with Beastie Boys/Money Mark than their Britpop neighbours.

Interesting, but I don't feel it adds much to her output with The Velvet Underground.

I've come to the conclusion that I really hate Elvis.

This list really doesn't need this much Springsteen!

Faith is great, but Father Figure is the real highlight here, such an awe-inspiring love song. The rest is a bit hit-and-miss.

Great stuff

His best album. Into Your Arms is just the prettiest song.

I think their greatest hits would have been a better option here. It includes the Father Ted theme song.

I don't think famous means what Leonard Cohen thinks it means.

Just so many hits here! What a great album.

So Täp

Not as gothy as I thought it would be. Still a unique voice and sound though.

The title track is a mainline injection of pure late-80s nostalgia; neon socks and fake Wayfarers. The rest never hits those lofty heights, but it's enjoyable and slickly produced.

Not really a fan.

One of the most incredible musical moments of my life was hearing "Intro" echo across Glastonbury's fields at the close of the 2013 festival. It was a fitting coda for a weekend of excess. The rest of the album can't quite match the lofty heights of "Intro," but it the XX certainly had a unique sound and pushed things forwards a little bit.

Nice to hear a female voice in hip-hop. Occasionally discordant and a little too long, but I liked it, especially the first track.
