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.

We both were surprised by how much we enjoyed this compared with other Nick Cave albums

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.

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.

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

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

We both felt surprisingly underwhelmed by this one. Whilst listenable neither of us felt it was anything special

Don't think this one needs words... it remains outstanding after all of these years!

Sian - really like this one and probably will listen to it again Deb - helped me to relax, liked this but it wasn't My favourite Actual score 3.5 - Deb 3, Sian 4

This was a big surprise. Mych more upbeat than anticipated. M7sically and lyrically strong!

Never heard of this band... The album is a no from both of us

Typical Pink Floyd - not our favourite but still v listenable

Whilst I am not typically a huge live album fan I really quite enjoyed this one.

His voice and the Samey sound of some tracks prevents a higher rating. That said a few tracks have made it to my Spotify likes

Neither of us had heard of The Soft Boys before this, however, we will be regular listeners now

A name I recognise although o don't think I have previously listened to her. This will be changing and I'll be checking out more. Sian : I really like this album - lyrics and words are amazing and it sounds much more fresh and new than it is!

S : Had never heard of this group but I thoroughly enjoyed this one - 4 D : Found this a bit too quirky to properly enjoy. 2

Sian - love this album as it is beautiful and great for chilling too Deb - like it and I'm happy if you want to give it a 5

Feels very noisy and not really what either of us would choose to listen to Probably a 1

Easy to listen to, likeable album

Of it's time

No, just no!

Her voice is incredible but we feel the songs and arrangement are very much of their time

Sian review - i don't love this as much as Speakerboxxx but it's still a solid album

Sian's score... Fantastic album that I have loved since first hearing it

Really liked this one as it was a good traditional rock album - think Sian like more than Deb

Deb : not my favourite but still a solid RW album Sian : late to this album as at the time I was way too angry at him over TT breaking up. Surprised by how much I like it. I think I am one of the only people on the planet who hates Angels (I think it sounds like it belongs on football terraces)

Samey, repetitive and just not our thing

Sian : I disliked this album when I first heard it and continue to do so Deb : "please turn it off and put something else on now"

Deb : 2 - it's better than 1, I didn't switch it off Sian : 4 - fabulous album with witty, clever lyrics Overall score 3

S rating

S - really like the War on Drugs and have been a fan of this album for some time now!

Not as bad as we expected but wouldn't choose to listen to it

Underwhelming

Unimpressed, a couple of lovely tracks but overall lacked cohesion

Not a huge live music fan but quite enjoyed this

Not anywhere near as good as 2001

Not a live music fan but found this enjoyable

We both were surprised by how much we enjoyed this compared with other Nick Cave albums

Not convinced - I love a couple of Justice tracks but an album full is a bit too much for me!

Sian : really like this one and will be looking up more of their music Deb : unable to listen

Sorry don't agree with her manipulating fans to line her bank balance so refuse to listen

Not our sort of thing

Siân would rate more highly than Deb
