Just my luck to get two albums by the same artist on consecutive days, although this came up second...
I'm glad I listened to this before Fetch The Boltcutters, which is mostly 51 minutes of shite.
There are some good tracks on here - Criminal, Sullen Girl and Never Is A Promise were good. Pale September the standout.

I've put off listening to this for a couple of months or so, because I thought I knew what my reaction to it would be.
But it's worse than I expected, and if I could give it a negative score I would. This album has no redeeming features whatsoever and makes me want to inhale my own vomit.

"If ever an album title was in dire need of an exclamation mark

Frampton Comes Alive!"
("Third Track Main Camera Four Minutes" by Half Man Half Biscuit. 2000)
I saw Frampton support Deep Purple in 2004, and he was just as good as you would expect. This album is an absolute belter!
One of the easiest 5's I'll give.

The good thing about the songs being so short is you don't have to put up with them for too long.
The bad thing about the songs being so short is that they can cram even more of the bastards on there.
I'm giving it a generous 2 because halfway through, like an island in the middle of a sea of dirge, I enjoyed Motor Away.

As soon as I see the word "jazz" a chill runs down my spine - it is, without doubt, my least favourite type of music - and that's why it's taken me 6 weeks to get round to hearing it.
I enjoyed it more than I expected to (and the story behind it is incredible) , but like all jazz I do find that it drags on a bit too long.
Went into it expecting to give it a 1. Came out surprised to be giving it a 3!

I probably would never have listened to this album if it wasn't for this project.
I'm glad I did, because it was totally unlike what I was expecting.
His voice isn't the greatest and some of the songs go on a bit too long, but I'll be listening to more of his stuff now. Standout track: Desolation Row.

At 50 something, listening to it for the first time in about 20 years I'm loving it all over again.
I'd give it 5/5 if Roger Waters wasn't such a knobhead.
