Music From The Penguin Cafe
Penguin Cafe Orchestra
82/100. This album is a fantastic listen. However, its main drawback lies in its length, as it tends to drag in places. The "Zopf" bundle, in particular, feels like it disrupts the album's flow. Without it, the record would be close to perfection.

Let's Get Killed
David Holmes
55/100. This album had its moments, but overall, it left me underwhelmed. The beats were solid at first and even gave the album a nostalgic 90s vibe that I genuinely enjoyed—it felt like stepping into a time machine. Unfortunately, as the album went on, the beats became increasingly uninteresting, and the overall experience just didn’t hold up.

Signing Off
UB40
75/100. This is certainly not the best reggae album out there—it might even feel a bit too long at times. I thought so myself at first, but halfway through, I found I’d lost track of time, caught up in the groove. The music had me moving my feet and swinging my head without even realizing it.
The album leans heavily on instrumentals, with vocals backing it up on just a few occasions. While the instrumentals are solid, it would’ve earned a higher rating if there were more vocal tracks to add variety and balance.

Supergrass
74/100. “They had us in the first half” was the first thing I thought after listening to this album. While the first half was magnificent, the second half wasn’t terrible—just disappointing by comparison. This contrast was especially highlighted by the song "We’re Not Supposed To," which genuinely sounded like an Alvin and the Chipmunks cover—a vibe that’s never a good thing.

54/100. Decent at best. For me, this album is pretty unremarkable—the singing pitch doesn’t vary much throughout the tracks. With a runtime of around an hour, the songs started to blend together and felt overly repetitive after a while.
The music itself was fine, but as an album, it just didn’t click for me.
