Rated 6/10

I had his wee dad yesterday! Now Jeff today! (Who wouldn't gladly have both, you know what I'm sayinnnnnn)

Hmm interesting. Thought I would enjoy this more than I did really. Was at its best with Lilac Wine and Hallelujah, and I wonder if that's because I already knew them, and they were more stripped back instrumentally. The more radioheadish parts of this aren't my jam. Hoyever, it's gonna get a pass because he's got a good voice.

Why can't you just make nice music that sounds good and an album that is an appropriate length? For goodness sakes. I can't relate to this on any level, what emotions am I supposed to get from this screaming? Fuck knows. Fred Durst came on to shout some slurs, that was a nice intermission. Any gays that listen to this.... electric chair.

This was totally listenable to and fine. Had a little dance around, was a good length, no awful songs. Really nothing revolutionary, but good!

This album is great. The vibes are great and very consistent throughout. Ar Fiona has a lovely voice and the songs are dreamy rather.

Nice! Nice eclectic tunes rather and some great lines from MIA. It's the kinda music to inject vaccines to x. The one issue I have is that the songs all go on too long for me, because they don't have highs and lows and such, just feels slightly repetitious after a bit x

I mean, it's Kate Bush, it automatically gets 5 stars. Well that's not quite true. This album is just a collection of fantastic songs, like a songbook, but isn't as thematically consistent as some of her masterpieces. Regardless, her songs are so good that they blow most other albums here out of the water. Forever and always my queen.

I fully comprehend that this album is quite early for new wave, and will therefore be described as an influential and important album. I'm just seeing if I like the albums or not, and I wasn't wowed by this. Just quite a lot of noise with talk singing in the background. Ew. But there were some interesting musical choices sometimes

Some lovely tunes. Nice time. But I couldn't just listen to this on it's own with nothing else to do yaknow. It's background music to me because there's not enough highs and lows. But it is nice stuff.

Hmmmmmmmmm thought this would be more fun (based on the Alright song you know the one). Far more bland and Britpop than I was hoping for, but did have interesting parts. Hmmmmmmmmm. Yeah 2 seems right.

Rated 4/10

The last song on this album was absolutely cracker. There were some generally more pleasant songs focusing on the piano occasionally. However, most of it was the grungy (meaning more of a general descriptor rather than of the music genre) rubbish that their other album on here consisted entirely of. So it can have 2 stars from me, but much better than their other album (but this one was longerrrr)

The first half was a bit stronger than the second, but it was all very listenable rather. At least 4 songs that I think could make it onto my list. No Black Widow Baby tho, must be on a different album

Never listened to Radiohead properly, but thought that it was generally dull music for dull people. Still, I was ready to have my mind changed today. There were flashes of interesting music and ideas, but no single song grabbed me particularly. So this doesn't get a passing grade today, but I want to keep my mind open for the next album of theirs on the list.

Never heard of this before. This peaked in the middle rather with the Androgyny and the Unsatisfied song rather, which is better than peaking early. It had aspects of stuff from 10 years after it's release, which I guess means it's visionary or something, but I don't like the 90s stuff yaknow solo. Overall enough good to give it a pass though and a good length.

Rated 6/10

It's nice music and the title track is great. Flute mixes well with the rock. Reminds me of Christmas because they have the Christmas song. Wasn't really in the mood for this today though, and it got a wee bit samey I fear.

Don't think I've ever heard Solange Knowles sing before but I really enjoyed this album. Nice and eclectic. The interludes I thought added a great deal, broke up the songs and was a nice way to introduce the next number. Lovely voice.

The album has "Let it Grow" on there. Didn't know Eric Clapped-out did the music for The Lorax.

This was rather uninteresting music apart from I Shot The Sheriff, which I knew to be a cover. Looked this up on Wikipedia and they're mostly covers! What is the point of this. It's not awful, but not good enough to pass.
