Pentangle
1/5
It opens with Light Flight, and as the instruments start, I'm thinking, okay, this could be cool. Then a voice. My ears screamed, "Make it STOP!" The vocals on this album are brutally bad. Are they trying to hurt my ears? I think this might have been a Cold War project where they recorded this so MI6 or the CIA could use it to torture Soviet spies and get information out of them.

The White Stripes
3/5
I usually adhere to the philosophy that everything made after 1990 sucks. And I am usually right, at least in my own opinion. This, however, proves the exception. It didn't suck. Once again I wish the ratings would allow for a half star. This is a 3.5 all day. It falls short of my requirement for a 4, so 3 it is. But a strong 3.

The Cure
2/5
The Cure were popular when I was in college. I never got into them. This album reminded me why. It's not awful, but really just boring. It could be a cure though, a cure for insomnia.

Marianne Faithfull
1/5
So, can gastrointestinal issues be used as an instrument? The sound at the start of Broken English sounds a lot like flatulence. Her voice isn't much better. I'm starting to think the author of 1001 albums just wants to see how much crap people will listen to.
