Solid, enjoyed more than I thought I would. Bit samey in places.

Pretty good. Wish more of the songs were like Brown Sugar.

Loud for the sake of being loud, repetitive beats, too long. Some tracks and parts of tracks I enjoyed, like Mindfields and Climbatize.

Classic 90s hip-hop. Not bad. The constant lyrics about drugs, guns and sex get annoying after a few tracks. Giving this one a 3/5.

Smooth, groovy and love the guitar solos. At Last I Am Free is far too long and gets boring.

First half better than second half. No Good Trying was my favourite track. Overall was just okay, not really a fan.

Really enjoyed this one overall. The guitar playing is incredible and Mark Knopfler’s voice works really well. Close to a 5/5.

Wow, really enjoyed this one. Heavy but still tuneful. Interesting time signatures and arrangements yet still catchy. Need to listen a few more times!

Wanted to like this one. I just didn’t like it. All the songs sounded soft with rounded edges (apart from Bullet the Blue Sky and Exit). A boring album with poor, muddy mixing. I don’t get the hype.

Cheesy 80s rock. Wanted to hate it, but actually quite enjoyed it. Feel-good tunes with good production.

This was fine, preferred the more upbeat funky numbers to the slower R&B ballads. Probably won’t listen again.

Undoubtedly a great voice, love the warm production that makes me feel like I'm sitting by a fire at Christmas. Unfortunately the songs mostly sound the same to me and the style of music isn't really my thing.

Very slow. Margo’s voice starts to grate after 3 songs as she sounds the same in all of them. While not objectively bad, I really did not enjoy this. Bonus star for the Church acoustics.

Good album, enjoyed most of this. Great production with deep bass, and lots of interesting electronic sounds.

Sounds like he’s doing his best American soul/jazz singer impression but not as good. Preferred the rockier songs over the jazzy ones. Not bad but not good.

Some interesting songs on here and the vocal harmonies are nice. Not much of a fan of the slower ballad type tracks. Wooden Ships is the highlight.

Didn’t really enjoy this. I think I just don’t like this style of folk. Couple of parts of songs like the end of Don’t Want to Know were ok. Didn’t like his voice either and the way he mumbled.

Some classic 80s pop. Enjoyed this, a few songs sounded a bit similar but maybe I need another listen. Good album.

Thought I was going to dislike it just because of its age. Ended up enjoying this, love blues music and it wasn’t too long, which some live albums are.

Really enjoyed this having never listened to The Stranglers before apart from Golden Brown (which I hate). This album will be in my rotation for sure.

One of those annoying albums where I like some songs but dislike others. Can’t stand the jazzy lift-music types like Razor Boy and Your Gold Teeth, but The Boston Rag and My Old School are great.

Fun and silly rap rock. Enjoyed this quite a lot and it’s something you don’t often hear.

Not my thing at all. Really didn’t like this. Bit slow and boring - didn’t make me feel anything.

Nice harmonies and guitar sounds in places. Short pop songs. This was ok, probably won’t listen again.
