Soul MiningThe The

Rated 4/10

Didn't really care for this. The drums started off irritating and didn't really ever stop, and the singing just isn't my cup of tea.

I love when an album transports you to a specific time & place, in this case Jamaica in the 1970s. As someone listening to this at the tail end of a long, Canadian winter, this is the mental roadtrip my brain didn't know it needed. Don't bogart that joint, my friends.

Rated 8/10

A very creative, interesting listen. A bit challenging to digest in one shot, but no doubt the layers of brilliance reveal themselves more and more each time you listen.

An absolutely wonderful album. These songs feel timeless, as though they could have come from any era. Another excellent example of how good music can be when it is stripped down to its bare bones: just guitars and voices.

Didn't hate it, didn't love it. Definitely some interesting tunes. Not sure I'll ever revisit as a whole album, but there's some choice tunes among the bunch.

An impressive multi-genre experience. That's right folks, a snoozefest AND a cheesefest! Nicely done, lads!

It has its moments, but they are few & far between. It's a challenging listen, and may be an album that rewards those that give it more eartime. But from just this initial listen, it mostly didn't hit the mark.

A bit of a silly album, but in a good way. It drew in my attention right away by getting me to laugh out loud during the first song. Overall, there is nothing groundbreaking here, but I enjoyed it well enough.
