Alanis Morissette
3/5
Alannis seems to have had some bad relationship experiences, and I'm not 100% surprised - it sounds like she would be a bloody nightmare 🤣. Overall an OK listen and some good tracks but a bit angry & shrill so won't be rushing back to it!!

The Smiths
2/5
Some decent stuff by Johnny Marr, but just can't stand Morrissey's whingy, monotone voice and (some) appalling lyrics! Really fail to see what the appeal is. Another one for the 1001 albums not to listen to again before I die.

Some good songs, some average, some not so good - but 69 songs on one LP spanning almost 3 hours? Just too much 'filler', reduced to 1 LP would have likely have seen me double my rating.
