Rated 4/10
I haven't hated a singer's voice this much since I first heard Bob Dylan. It certainly makes for an interesting style even if I tremendously dislike how it sounds.

Apple Venus, Volume 1XTC
Rated 6/10
Sonically interesting with a lot of neat instrumentation, and I could potentially see it clicking with me one day if I were to revisit it a few times, but it not working for me right now.

It sparked so little out of me - positive or negative - that I'm left with nothing to say.

I didn't know this kind of alt-rock even existed in the 80s.
The characters in Worthikids' "Xylophone" animation were right when they said xylophones/marimbas are underutilized in rock music, because it is an interesting sound to accompany guitars and drums. It was interesting enough that I gave 'Gone Daddy Gone' another listen after finishing the album (and 'Kiss Off' because it started playing automatically). I wouldn't choose to listen to any of these songs again, but I wouldn't be bothered enough to stand up to turn off the radio if one of them came on (I don't have a radio, but if I did this would be the case).
