I enjoy the chaotic aspect of it all, and is quite a fun album, but they obviously made an informed decision to make it sound like it was recorded in a toilet in 1975. The lack of bass really reduces any impact it could have too and leaves it hard it listen to. Perhaps a slightly harsh 2* but I won't be listening to it again

Rid Of Me
PJ Harvey
I get what this album is trying to be... But Harvey rarely steps up to the early 90's alternative mark that is obviously being aimed for. Albini was obviously also allowed free reign to do whatever the fuck he wanted as there's a wide variation in production quality that he was guilty of in those days.
Shame as the talent was there to really make a great record of this type. More tracks of the quality of Me Jane were needed

Peggy Suicide

So weird... sounds a lot older than early 90s, and has such an eclectic range of styles. I really enjoyed it though. High 3*

Totally ashamed to say I'd only known Solid Ground before having this come up here. Didn't realise how modern this was, and that's a compliment. Blew me away, stunning album

Quite disjointed and over indulgent in places (looking at you Buckingham). Would've benefited from not trying to get a double album out of it

We Are Family

Disco really isn't my thing, and a lot of these tracks are overplayed, but it's impossible to deny the quality here so have to give it a 4

Should've stuck to his instincts which had decided not to finish this for almost 40 years. Some absolute nonsense
