Roni Size
1/5
There is no universe or reality in which this is an essential album. It does nothing well and is not unique or memorable. 78 minutes of the same mediocre d&b beat over and over again.

Robbie Williams
2/5
generic, boring, not notable in the slightest. Let me entertain you was almost decent but I still wouldn't listen to it again.

Bruce Springsteen
2/5
Springsteen has some good albums. This is not one of them.

The Velvet Underground
1/5
The Velvet Underground should stay buried. Sounds like the soundtrack to some bad romcom movie. I couldn't sleep at all lest night but this album almost cured my insomnia.
