5/5

A terrific album, worthy of winning the Mercury Prize. I really enjoyed the variety of styles represented on the CD.

5/5

To my mind one of the best Belle and Sebastian albums. The lyrics are wry, well observed and witty. Every time I listen to it I smile to myself, and even if I am feeling tired it always perks me up. The brass work on Losing It is terrific and really lifts the track. My favourite track is Expectations. It is sobering to think that the references to Debenhams are somewhat dated, how social trends evolve!

The Rolling Stones

3/5

The sound is very open and reflects the four track equipment they were using at the time. It's rawness and energy is very appealing. The lyrics on Mothers Little Helper are very apposite.

Phrenology

The Roots

3/5

Initially I thought this album was just going to be a heavy rap album lacking in melody. However as the album progressed I was most impressed by some the deft handling of the songs. In particular I really enjoyed Cody ChestnuTT and Musiq- Break You Off. The verbal dexterity on the lyrics was most impressive.

The Real Thing

Faith No More

2/5

The album was OK. However it was riff bound and sounded like so many other bands.
