Van Morrison
2/5
Disjointed, warbly, inconsistent. Jazz backing is musically effective, but the vocal performance does not track well. Lyrics forgettable. 2.
Arcade Fire
3/5
Compelling sound, at risk of becoming repetitive. Some memorable lyrics. Well synced range of instruments. No Cars Go favourite track. 3.
The Cars
3/5
Very classic rock, enjoyable, though became repetitive towards the end. 3.
Portishead
3/5
Eerie vibe, fell into the rhythm as the album progressed, though no particular highs at first. Glory Box achieves that peak, perhaps too late. Worth another listen. 3.
Soundgarden
2/5
Heavy. Sometimes too heavy. Catchy in an (un/)enjoyable way. 2.5.
Amy Winehouse
2/5
Tried to like it. Not for me. 2.
The Beta Band
4/5
Varied, refreshing and catchy. 4.
Pretenders

An instructive process in teaching me I may not like alt rock very much.

4/5
Enjoyable and varied sound. 4.
Richard Thompson

I didn't enjoy the voices in tandem, which is quite the issue for a duet. 2.
Sigur Rós
4/5
Listened on a hike - strangely therapeutic. 4.
Neil Young
4/5
Fun moments, very enjoyable. 4.
3/5
Nothing objectively bad, but I find that style of 80s sound tiring. 3.
Flamin' Groovies
2/5
Dreary. 2
Black Sabbath
3/5
Enjoyed more than I thought I would. 3.
Fleetwood Mac
3/5
