Rated 10/10
An absolutely wonderful collection of songs, with lots of light and shade and lovely lyrics. The title track might be her best song, in terms of words and music, but I prefer the driving rythym of Travellin Man.
Brilliant, and much better (in my opinion) than a lot of her later pop records.
Rated 10/10
Basically perfect, one of my favourite albums ever
Rated 8/10
Classic and classy, and far more variety of tone and texture than I would have expected.
Rated 6/10
He's a bad singer, who writes decent songs with good lyrics and bland predictable chord progressions. I truly thought this would be great, but it is no better than good in my opinion
Rated 6/10
Très étrange, mais la plupart des groupes avec <<projet>> dans leur nom sont assez étranges. Presque toutes les chansons n'ont pas de voix, et certaines ont des choix d'instruments très étranges.
Cet album n'est pas terrible, mais il n'est pas non plus très bon. Je l'ai un peu aimé, mais je ne le réécouterai pas.
Rated 4/10
Instrumentals, although a few recognisable and interesting ones. Not great, other than as background music I guess.
Rated 8/10
Wonderful - not one I would have ever found without this project, but I'm glad I did!
Rated 8/10
Very good, with great lyrics, but all felt a bit restrained. Clearly very influential, especially on female singer songwriters, but not quite 5 🌟 for me.
Rated 6/10
Not for me thanks, just not very interesting. Also his voice is bizarre, not even in a good way.
Rated 6/10
Better than their previous one that came up for me. Sounds like one of the best music producers leaving the band helped the band move in a more guitar focused direction. Still not hugely engaging or enjoyable, but better than I expected.
Rated 8/10
English folk, so obviously not as good as Scottish equivalent, but still very good - and with a couple of all time classics.
Rated 10/10
Perfection, both the songs and the banter between. He is one of the greatest of all time, and this is one of his most famous shows - what's not to love?
Rated 10/10
Brilliant, but not quite as good as their follow up (which I had yesterday!). Still solidly 5 🌟 though - and a new favourite band for me after 2 albums in 2 days
Rated 10/10
Brilliant
Rated 8/10
Pretty good, but not perfect. Really interesting choices of instruments, engaging (if often impenetrable) lyrics, lovely vocal harmonies, always good to hear antipodean voices represented in the book.
Rated 6/10
This is a good album. But it does not demonstrate what made Elvis an icon. It lacks the energy and swagger of his early live and television performances and albums. And it is missing the showmanship and experience of his later years as a Vegas bandleader.
If this were the only Elvis Presley music to which you were ever exposed, you’d likely (and rightly) think, “why is this guy such a big deal?”
That would be a shame because at his best, he was The King.
Rated 10/10
A stone cold classic, the best album they ever made and one of the best of the century so far. Another band I saw live, on the tour for their album following this one, and a band who put everything into each show.
Was never likely to be less than full marks, but listening again confirmed it as entirely deserving of 5 big 🌟
Rated 4/10
Pretty bad - all the songs sound the same, and all are massively over-produced with terrible gated drums and nonsensical lyrics. More like a pop album than a rock one, but fails as either in my opinion
Rated 6/10
Good, but not great. Sounds kind of like a Canadian Radiohead, but maybe less interesting. A couple of really good songs, and a lot of filler.
Rated 10/10
Absolutely brilliant, heavy as hell and twice as loud. They are also the loudest band I have ever seen live. Wait and Bleed woke me each morning for years, on a CD alarm clock, which fairly gets the day started right!
