evermore
Taylor Swift
I liked it. More than 1989 which I happened to listen to over dinner with my parents. Didn't know any songs going in. It's a winter album, but suits sitting in a national express bus in Autumn. Forgot about the National and Bon Iver colabs. Is Tis The Dam Season a Christmas song?
Stand outs: tis the damn season, coney Island, marjorie

Maggot Brain
Funkadelic
Wild! Can't believe I've never heard thos before. Mad influence for Coheed and Cambria in Maggot Brain. And stepping off a national express to the start of Can You Get To That thinking "THIS IS WHERE THIS IS FROM?" Very much a case of a band name/album name/cover absolutely obliterating any interest in me listening to the album, but damn was I foolish to do so. It's great.

Not for me. Great musician ship and layers to songs, but nothing stood out

Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea
PJ Harvey
So good! I bought this for my dad as a teenager and it didn't grab me when listening then. I've since fell in love with Patti Smith and damn does that recontextualise everything. The Thom Yorke colab is stunning. Makes me want to dream of horses. 70s swagger
Highlights: good fortune, this mess we're in
