Was expecting some rhythm and blues, got some reet dull 90s rock. Ew. Not the one for me. Looked them up on Wikipedia and became more annoyed lol. Does not deserve to be on the list.

Nina Simone is pure perfection, you feel every word she sings, and her piano playing is next to none. Truly one of the best performers of all time. She is woefully underrepresented in this list. I think she has better albums than this, but I just die for Nina singing any song really. Beautiful piece of music

She took the kids 💔 literally get a grip. Build a bridge and get over it you know what I mean x

Each and every one of these songs sounds the same as all of the others. Far too long. Give us some bops diva

The only Peter Gabriel solo album here not to feature Kate, smh. This album is best when it leans into prog and operatic vibes, and less so when in the middle songs where it feels a tad dull. All albums should have a song called Moribund the Burgermeister though.

First time listening to a PJ Harvey album. Love this gal, but I'm reluctant to give this a 5 because I think she's gonna have freakier stuff. Some fantastic songs on here, good horse content.

EDIT: Moving ar Polly Jean up to a 5. Keep coming back to this one, the songs are just banging. I don't fuck with that Thom Yorke one that's a moaning man (which is her most popular on Spotify), but the rest slaps

I appreciated this album for it's wide use of instruments and varying wee songs. I enjoyed my time and think it's rather good, but I'm not gonna listen to it again. A change is as good as a rest though, far better than the usual boring men x

Ooooo one I really like! Not familiar with their electronic stuff much before today, but I was having a right groovy old time here. Love the juxtaposition of electronic music and Tracey Thorn's voice, creates a chill but still boppy vibe.

His best song is "Just give a kidney, to a father or a dad", and that wasn't on this album for some reason. Really disliked the singing on this in the morning but the backing band is great! Some great wee tunes, but lacklustre writing and ok singing performance. Overall good

Got this album this morning and went "ugh". I finished all 72 minutes of it and thought "not half bad". Some highlights (Pictures of You), but it's not really my musical style. Regardless, tis good, better than their poppy singles.

She's got a lovely wee voice and it's all very easy to listen to. Would be nice to have on with a car ride with ar Stephanie. But at 75 mins it does go on a wee bit, would maybe rate higher if it was 45 mins. Overall solid tho

Second Arcade Fire album already! Prefer this one to the first, great first 5 songs (best is Intervention, like a good organ) but it drops off a bit at Ocean of Noise. Not as good after that U C, that song was much too obvious. Still solid though

Rated 4/10

Well, 9/10 of these songs was just silly indie music that should be in the background of some teen film or Gavin and Stacey. Nice guitars I guess. However the song called "Don't" was fab, just screaming over and over again. Not enough to raise it into a pass I'm afraid x

Second half of this album is better than the first. Enjoy the "Wake up" song from the Tommy Lee Royce nice gay play, and the final song from the blizzard first half. Can't always tell what he's saying and it's not the music I love, but good array of instruments and styles to keep me engaged.
