Some top notch Brit pop hits but, beyond that, I found it a bit dull.

Objectively good but not really my vibe. Bit too much whooping...

Let’s face it - she’s mega talented. 4 stars (but only because it’s not one of my all time faves / my typical genre)

A classic. Really a 4* but gets five for the memories / nostalgia (sixth form common room)

Iconic but not entirely my vibe - bit too depressing soul music in parts. the hits stick out as the best tunes. Don’t love the album as a whole . Amazing voice.

Classic 80s. Probably great at the time and contains some good tunes. Enjoyed hearing more of her work but don’t think I’ll go back to whole album… time after time remains a classic

It’s a classic of its time. Bit moody and depressing in tone but there’s a complexity to the songs (form and structure) and he’s pretty accomplished on the ol’ guitar. Having gone back to this album (as part of this group) Between the Bars is still my fave (with Angeles a close second) which is a bit boring / predictable of me…

This album surprised me - I've heard some of the songs before but really enjoyed listening to it 'front to back'. Frankly, I think it's brilliant. The whole album hangs together really well - I love the Americana, country influences. There are some absolute bangers. The guitars are interesting, drums are great... I could go on. really loved it!
