Singles are up there but the rest is gratuitous filler

The Village Green Preservation Society by The Kinks

The Bones Of What You Believe by CHVRCHES

Back to Basics by Christina Aguilera

Not my type of music but decent to listen to on a run. First part was good but second just seemed like vocal porn which didn’t age well. Use of “o, daddy.”

Bubble And Scrape by Sebadoh

Rejoicing In The Hands by Devendra Banhart

Boring. Maybe two good songs but no energy in a lot of the album.

Inoffensive and easy to listen to. Perfect background music when guests are around.

Tails off very hard and was just waiting for it to end.

Vauxhall And I by Morrissey

Started off well but by the end became very depressing.

It was going to be two stars but any artist that records a track like ‘Aumgn’ and thinks “yeah this is a great piece to put out there” deserves a one star. ‘Aumgn’ and ‘Peking O’ are especially excruciating.
