An absolute beast of an album, and I mean that in a very good way. An album full of murder ballads is bound to be a fascinating listen, and this lives up to that expectation. It also sounds great & interesting musically. What a piece of work!

ThirdSoft Machine

Rated 4/10

It did the trick for background noise while working on tasks requiring focus, but wasn't a particularly compelling listen. Very meandering, which I suppose is by design, but didn't strike me as something I'd ever want to listen to again.

Not even remotely what I expected, but a pleasant surprise! Some really cool tunes on here. A bit of cheese too, but I mostly liked this.

WarU2

Rated 6/10

Well this is definitely preferable to later era U2. Still didn't grab me in any major way, but it's alright.

A hugely influential album on the direction that hip-hop would take in the years to follow. You can hear the future coming. An important album, no doubt, but very much a relic of its time with its overt 80's production and simplistic rhymes. This sure ain't fresh no more.

I came into this album expecting some standard fare 60s psychedilia with some nice harmonies. And while this album definitely delivered the psychedilia and fantastic harmonies (as The Byrds do), it also rocked a lot more than I anticipated. A very pleasant surprise.

Live Through ThisHole

Rated 10/10

Courtney Love is an absolute force on this album. One of the greatest albums of one of the greatest eras of music.

GREY AreaLittle Simz

Rated 10/10

A rap album that's easy for the rock fans to love. A stunning talent, and this album really elevated her to the top of the rap game. Don't sleep on Simz, folks.

Rated 4/10

Didn't enjoy this. Was surprised to find out SZA isn't British, because she sure sounds it a lot on this record.
