Speakerboxxx/The Love Below
OutKast
I remember purchasing this when it came our and being blown away by the creativeness of a group releasing two albums in one.
It was great to be reunited with it but I am not convinced it's an album that will go back into regular circulation.

Violent Femmes
The only track i know by the Violent Femmes is Blister In the Sun.
I quite like the music but don't like the lead singers voice or as Deb says instrumentally they are strong, vocally less so!
Deb is happy not to listen to more, Siân may explore further!

Deb : Gorgeous, soulful album; easy to listen to. Beautiful melodies & strong lyrics. I recognise a good number of the songs from (too many) years ago!
Sian : I was obsessed with this album when it came out and it remains an absolute gem.

Eric Clapton
I've not listened to much Clapton but I think this may change after listening to this. Amazing guitar, beautiful melodies... album works really well and I will definitely listen again
Deb - enjoyed this one, quite eclectic in terms of style, easy to listen to.

At Newport 1960
Muddy Waters
So I have heard of Muddy Waters but not listened to him. I don't particularly love live albums however, I quite enjoyed this one. Will potentially try out some non live recordings! 3
Deb - okay as background music,some of it is a bit samey. Wouldn't necessarily chose it! 3

Nevermind
Nirvana
Do I like this album? Yes. Do I feel it's overhyped? Also yes. I was never a Nirvana song and came to them after Cobain's suicide. Whilst I will always love some of their songs I will always find a lot of it to just be noise. 3 5
Deb - liked parts of this but found it noisy 2.5
