Rated 4/10
Going back and forth on this one. Some of it is pretty good, but it changes too often with no clear throughline of music or emotion. Some folks will be really into this. I was hovering between a 2 and a 3 but then they started whistling x
Rated 4/10
Thought this was gonna be better than it is, sad you died tho babe but stick a banger on there. Not even Melody Pond could help x
Rated 6/10
Surprisingly easy to listen to, not as hardcore as I was expecting, but nice all the same. The NIB song made me prick me ears up, but apart from that not really
Rated 8/10
Love Sympathy for the Devil, enjoyed a good deal more of these wee songs as well, especially the Jigsaw one rather. Good lyrics.
Rated 6/10
Better than the other Radiohead album I had. It's interesting sounds, but I feel it's always leading to somewhere that it never gets to. Where's the oooompf?
Rated 8/10
First side has all the ones I like on it, second side is okay. There's better Bowie down the line, but it's still pretty good rather
Rated 8/10
Love a bit of Courtney fr fr. Heard a good amount of Hole before, but was my first time listening to this album all the way through. Really good! Some of the songs towards the end got a little shouty, but the mix of pop and grunge is very welcome, as opposed to just grunge. Everything in moderation I say x
Rated 6/10
Surprisingly, the second side was better than the first. Some interesting stuff on this album eventually, but the first songs intro felt like being bonked on the head. Not the nice music I'm looking for xx
I need to stop giving 5 star albums, but I knew this one would slay at least a bit based on the name and cover art. Really loved it though, have listened to it 4 times today.
We come to the penguin café to laugh, to cry, to care, because we need that, all of us. These orchestrations capture some really interesting vibes that are difficult to describe but I can feel. Really cool stuff.
Rated 10/10
A nice surprise. I like the song about being lost in the supermarket because it's relatable to the everyday man (me).
Rated 4/10
Nice album art. Shame about the album. Dull.
Rated 4/10
Every song goes on foreverrrrrr yawnnnnnn. Bloody indie music, just dull, just stop
Rated 8/10
Didn't know much Yes going into this, but as Zoe Saldana would say: "Yes Yes Yes!"
Nice and progish without the use of too much going on, gives a real nice listening experience. First half was better than second.
Rated 6/10
Better than I was expecting! Nicely orchestrated rather and good variation between songs. Some songs go on too long and a Gallagher turns up, so it can't be higher, but I was happy with this. It had a good understanding of the drama needed in a song, which many modern club beats fail to realise
Rated 6/10
Hiya Billie love. This album was a lovely time tbh, nice jazz songs. I prefer my jazz standards with some nice piano usually, but this is good too x
Rated 6/10
I think I preferred the other album of Baaba Maals, but it's nice and fresh music, which I won't listen to again, but it is nice x
Rated 8/10
Very good rock musics. For my personal taste, some of the instrumentals go on slightly too long, but I think that's a taste thing (or lack of it) on my part rather.
Rated 4/10
Quite liked the Rolling Stones cover (because i like the original song), didn't like the 13 minute song (felt like a lot of nothing for a good amount of time), and the rest was meh. Doesn't feel essential and I was happy when it was over.
Rated 6/10
It's absolutely fine.
Rated 10/10
I ummed and aaaaaahed over this, but I'm gonna give it 5 stars. Every song sung by a woman is fantastic on here, and it contains most of my favourite Fleetwood Mac songs. There's an occasional dud by a man, but I think the quality outweighs the middling 3 songs x
