This is a rogue choice. Not awful, some memorable songs. I was initially irritated by how long this was before realising the album is repeated in french. I prefer the french. Also what a terrible album cover

Nilsson Schmilsson

Harry Nilsson

4/5

Gotta get up - used to be my alarm so felt weirdly nostalgic Driving along - enjoyable topic Early in the morning - bluesy? The moonbeam song - fine Down - spiralling but upbeat Without you - a better cover Coconut - fab Let the good times roll - "not bad, yeah not bad" Jump into the fire - a strong long song I'll never leave you - sad sad Overall - some bangers but a weird mix

Guero

Beck

Hellooo... As if this came out 10 years ago? Adele is obviously an incredible singer. But this is a bit boring and samey. Not horrible to listen to. 19 was sooo much better.
