I've heard this album a few times in the past. Possibly over 10 years ago. Opinion is the same. It's very niche folk, instrumentals are better than the vocal tracks and the last track Angie is an outstanding bit of acoustic guitar work but not enough to carry the whole album.

Bod Dylan has a slow blues jam. I like Dylan,I think he's got a lot of good songs. I also think that the reason he's had so may hours as he's had the chance to take so many swings. It's not amazing but is decent easy blues background music. His voice feels tired on this one. Standout track - Highlands

This album could be a 4. It's really close. The mix of 90s jangly guitars vs an overdriven wall of noise almost drowning out the soft vocals. It's just missing something, maybe diversity between the tracks. After a while it seems to bleed into a drone. Still, I've got a feeling I'll revisit this.

Not listened to it properly in ages. When it first came out I dismissed it early on as it was such a change from the first 3 albums. It kind of put me off every album after as well. Only really dipping in to the odd song on them after loving the first 3 albums.
It's OK computer with light edm. Probably a 3/5
"everything in its right place" is brilliant though.

I only really know one Joni Mitchell song. I like it but never had the urge to dig further. This is some nive folk and I can see how it probably influenced a lot of other artists I like. The airy wavy vocals are impressive but at times a bit too much for me.
I thought the start of River was a Jingle bells cover but then it was just a clever catch for a Christmas song.
I like folk music and I'm a sucker for female vocalists but this was missing something or maybe had too much of something.

The Prodigy
Thought I'd know more on this than I did but in saying that my Prodigy knowledge is limited to the best of.
Breathe is phenomenal, always loved the opening riff.
The other singles were also great. Not many new stand out tracks for me though. Funky Shit was good.
Diesel power split me. Really liked the music but the vocal didn't fit. Not sure if it was a guest vocalist or something but it felt like a missed opportunity and didn't fit with the rest of the album. After a lot of lot of listens I'm going a harsh 3/5.

I only had 2 Manics albums but had heard this one was really good.
Didn't quite hit the mark for me. I was expecting it to be similar to the others, generic sounding political indie but every now and then an awesome bit of guitar work (sleepflower/slash 'n' burn). Probably unreasonable to criticise for a lack of guitar riffage but I'm doing it sorry.

So much "jazz" it was out of tune, so much "swing" it was out of time and so much self indulgence it was obnoxious.

An atrocious assault on the ears.
Imagine a scene in a room where there's a school band and they play tunelessly for a few seconds to be kind of inept but cute before getting his at the end of the movie. Well it's like that but for 40 minutes.
