Rated 6/10
It's ok I suppose and with half a billion listens in Spotify who can argue? She's midway between Bjork and Billie Eilish with some interesting tracks going on. I'd definitely listen again a few times to this before deciding. Very well produced and professional job all around.
Rated 4/10
Dusty had a great voice and some great hits but I think there are a lot of fillers here. It's ok to listen to but not really inspirational.
I loved 'It takes a Nation" but this is pretty much a continuation of the whole sound and nothing new? It just made me want to switch to the earlier album.
Rated 6/10
Lively raw and great fun. A couple of great classics in there to boot.
Rated 2/10
I listened to the whole album which was an accomplishment but it was the same story for me with all the other albums of theirs. I've really always wanted to like Depeche Mode but end up being embarassed by lame rhyming lyrics and predictable melodies. Occasional flashes of a good song followed by the same melody or synth-trick over and over. Great if you're really into them or the whole scene but really too samey.
Rated 10/10
Solid heavy rock debut from one of the all-time greats. Blues and folk influences abound and it's delivered in such an assured and accomplished manner. Every musician here is at the peak of their talents.
