I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got
Sinead O'Connor
Exquisite and haunting. Her voice is incredible and she uses its full power in the delivery. The album functions very well as a whole, with songs transitioning seamlessly from one to the other. I love that she decides to touch on so many important issues and uses her music as a force for good. Listened to it several times to get the full experience. My only issue is it's sometimes impossible to focus on anything else apart from the music as her voice is quite distressing and the music is disturbing - but I guess that's the whole point.

The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars
David Bowie
Very underwhelming. Did not have the patience to listen to the whole thing first time round. Then I gathered the patience and braved it, and I genuinely do not understand what the fuss is about. Quite generic, didn't make me feel or think anything. 'Starman' is a pretty good song, but I knew that prior to listening to the album. Perhaps it's just not for me, but I feel it's massively overrated

Heaven Or Las Vegas
Cocteau Twins
Absolutely sensational and an exquisite listening experience. Not sure what the music is about and sometimes can't even recognise what language it's in, but that doesn't matter, everything is communicated through the voice and instruments. Saved it so I can listen to it several times and have definitely been prompted to look further into the meaning, which I guess what good albums are all about. But even without that, just hearing the album is an absolute joy, I can easily see it become one of my favourites, feels like a soundtrack to a beautiful day.
