Big opener and closer. Odd country version of Honkey Tonk Woman, and and decent chilled numbers. Enjoyed this.

Started really strongly, and there’s some absolutely belting tracks on here. Doesn’t quite hold it together for me over the length of the album though.

On first listen this was an album that I admired rather than loved. Will definitely give it a few more goes though.

Definitely not an album I would have chosen to listen, and it hasn’t really changed my mind about country music not really being for me. Simple songs, some funny lines, and an interesting political stance on a few tracks. If this fella was playing a festival stage I’d sit and have a drink while he played. Not likely to listen to the album again.

Amazing voice, beautiful songs.

Collection of absolute bangers. Like Phil Spector and Roman Polanski, a real example of the ethical dilemma in trying to separate an individual from their art.

Lovely songs. Amazing voice. Textbook. Didn’t get a chance to listen to all 3 hours, but will return for the rest.

Songs had a timeless quality to them, which left me surprised that I hadn’t heard them before. Will return to this album.

Didn’t really connect with this.

Bit noodly and twiddly for my liking, but clearly brilliant musicianship with a few highlights.

Really enjoyed this - having never heard anything about it before. Will definitely revisit, and check out some other Bob Mould stuff while I’m at it.

Singles are great - rest is also very decent.

Still struggling to find the country album that really gets me going. Feels like a collection of assorted demos and outtakes.

Pretty much a perfect album. A welcome re-listen.

Another banger of an album that was a re-listen.

Enjoyed this a lot. Nice beats, but a few problematic lyrics that feel very much of their time.

The Adele album that has my favourite songs of hers - wish we’d see a little more of the Rumour Has It and Rolling in the Deep banging soul side of her more often.

A little overlong for me, with a few diversions that didn’t quite hold me. The highlights are incredible though. Probably one to enjoy over time and allow to develop.

Brought back awesome memories despite only remembering a couple of songs. Must have heard in full at some point, but this felt new to me. Great record.

Really want to spend time with this to get more from the lyrics. Some of the beats are amazing.

Interesting album, but a little too meandering and moody for me to rush to listen again. Prefer their slightly later stuff.

Absolute bangers and only half an hour long. Great album.

Singles are great. Remember at the time being a little disappointed following the brilliance of I Should Coco, but time (and age) have clearly mellowed me. Really enjoyed this.

Couple of tracks that take me back to my youth, but the album hasn’t aged well and the schtick wears thin pretty quickly.

A lot more fun than I was expecting!

Perfectly pleasant background music. Not sure I’m chemically altered to truly appreciate it though…

Superstition aside, I was a little underwhelmed. Prefer Wonder’s funky soulful stuff to his ballads.
