Was a fine album, I like some of his other works better. Maybe it’ll grow on me. Me and Julio down by the schoolyard is a classic though.

Album gets better the further you delve into it. Some of the tracks commanded attention and sounded a bit like proto-Boris while others were too drawn out and boring for my taste. Did have some great highs though, like Brainstorm.

One of the greatest players and singers to ever do it. It’s apparently a comeback album but its barely different from his early material. Not that that’s a bad thing, his voice still sounds phenomenal at this age. Every song is a jam and a great blues classic. No surprises but you can’t go wrong with Muddy Waters.

Finally an Elliott Smith album, I was really looking forward to this one. Really liked the album and every instrument feels like it has a purpose here.

The Man WhoTravis

Rated 4/10

Was really surprised to hear 'Why does it always rain on me' on here. I hadn't heard that song in ages and had no idea it was by Travis. The entire album feels like 2000s Skyradio-core. The songs were nice but this is one of the oh so many pop albums that I won't be playing again.

Really nice in concept. I love the golden age hip hop in combinations with African beats and themes. I found myself longing for more pronounced African influence though, it doesn’t feel as apparent as I would like it to be.

New WaveThe Auteurs

Rated 6/10

Why is it called New Wave if it sounds nothing like the genre? Sounded a lot more like generic alt rock to me. Was a fine album but went in one ear and out the other.

Some of the songs aren't very inspiring. I thought the It's all over now cover went on for too long. Rod Stewarts voice makes anything a pleasant listen though.

Sea ChangeBeck

Rated 6/10

Fine album, probably needs a relisten. I found it a bit forgettable at times but it had nice moments.

What an amazing album, straight out of the gritty demonic psychedelic 60s. The self penned songs are really great and the covers are the hardest takes of said songs at the time. Its not really heavy metal but it's Cream or Jefferson Airplane turned to 11.

Objectively really good. Touches on some heavy subjects and has a surprising amount of depth for a pop album. The runtime it a bit too long for my taste however and its not really my cup of tea.

Has some of my favorite Led Zeppelin songs and riffs. Love that it's a double album but not all the songs on here interest me as much.

Listens fine. Time seems to fly by whenever I listen to the Cocteau Twins. Not the type of music I actively listen out anymore, I prefer more abrasive and harsh shoegaze-like music.
