Let's Stay Together
Al GreenReally nice this. Just lacking one or two more bangers. Sure I already reviewed this.

Meh
Some reasonable tracks, but this just isn't for me.
Good solid Bowie stuff. Lacking a few more hits but some sleepers on there.
Close to a 4, but the last song and the Dylan pisstake mark it down. 3.5.
A collection of hits to start the album before meandering into mediocrity.
Weird country rock stuff. No thanks
Listenable in the gym but wouldn't listen to it in any other context. Probably a 2.5.
Surprised that I quite enjoyed this. Quite a bit of variety on there. The last song really dragged though.
Very pleasant listen. Good voice, nice music, but a bit backgroundy. Over 3 hours is taking the piss. 3.5 would've fair as there are contexts in which I'd listen to this again.
Very meh. Vocals too low/mumbled to make out the lyrics.
Good stuff. Was going to go 3.5, but a strong finish to the album. Behind Blue Eyes is a great song and a nice change of pace.
Was OK, expected a bit more.
Congratulations Eric, you can play the guitar.
It's ok, voice is a bit too gravely for me. Preferred the album with the band I got last week.
Strange album this. Lyrics seem totally out of place for the style of music. But I quite enjoyed it. Not sure if 2.5 or 3?
Good stuff. Few tracks miss the mark, but overall it's pretty solid.
Managed 2 tracks. As obvious a 1 star as you're likely to get.
Fuck off.
Pretty good pre-punk kinda sound. Borderline 3.5/4.
What the duck is this shite.
Much better album than Self Titled. A bit of guitar wankery, but some interesting stuff going on musically.
Better than I would have expected.
Wasn't bad. But of variety on there, but also a bit of inconsistency as well.
Decent this. Bit too one paced to be anything above a 3 though.
The first beneficiary on the rounding up system. Musically very good. Lyrically a bit all over the place, and I'm not a big fan of Ray Davies' patriotism/nationalism.
Fuck off Sting.
Basically the same as Harness. It's close to be something I would like, without being something I like. A generous 3.
There are a few songs that I'd give a 4, but not enough of them.
The second half of the album was pretty good. The first was just jazzy high notes on repeat. Pretty annoying.
Listened to - whilst trying to feel up the Mrs on the back in of a plane, drunk at 10am. Sound - Ideal for a live album. Good energy, quite short, and no guff between songs that you often get on live albums. Live albums are cheating a bit, as they should basically be a greatest hits up to that point, but loads of bands sounds shite on live albums. Motorhead are metal for punks. Short, sharp, songs, with guitar wankery, generally, capped at about 10 seconds. Relisten - Very likely.
Listened to - on the plane. Sound - Musically it's pretty interesting. Which is more than you can say for most hip-hop/rap. Lyrically it's all over the place.
Listened to - at the airport waiting to board. Sound - about what I expected it's borderline 3/4. Going with a 4, because I think it'd be better on second listen, but it's definitely a beneficiary of the grading up system.
It's not musically unpleasant, but it sounds pretty thin. A lack of lyrics is going to be a big issue for me too.
It's alright. Nothing special. A 5/10.
Pretty good listen this. Some of the lyrics feel a bit dated, or maybe it's just that I'm old. Some of the songs sound a little too similar too, but overall enjoyable.
It's OK.
Speaking of dated.
I dunno, 2? 3? Didn't enjoy it, but it isn't complete shit.
Should have stick to the shorter version. Half this thing wasn't even Johnny Cash.
Gone with a 4, felt the album finished fairly strongly. It's a 7/0 for me though.
It's OK.
Shite.
Did exactly the same as Harness.
Seemed OK, if unspectacular.
First 5. About half of the songs on this I really like. The rest range from OK to good. Nothing I'd immediately want to skip.
It's really good, but few too many songs miss the mark for a 5.
A collection of sound effects.
Fun album. I've given 3s to better stuff, but such is my new grading system.
It was OK.
Better than I expected, but won't listen again.
Not his best work, but a decent album.
Pretty good.
There's a lot more variety here than I was expecting. Didn't like most of it though.
Harness is right. It all sounds the same.
