5/10 - Weird one hearing the original of whatever the Kanye song is (all I can think of is "gold powers, Austin Powers"). Some boss instrumentals and vocals but falls flat for me generally with song length being excessive; stretches of time in some songs where nothing is really happening and doesn't seem to further any aspect of the song. Not bad but wouldn't actively listen to again.
7/10 - Enjoyable listen the whole way through. Not a super standout album but definitely feels like a grower. A nice depart from his classics with plenty of his soul and instrumentals in there, just lacking a pull that keeps you coming back unlike some of his other albums.
6/10 - Enjoyable listen as easy background music. Not particularly complex and a bit samey throughout. Felt the instrumentals weren't exciting on a lot of songs but the last couple of songs were quite striking. Some songs would warrant another listen but I wouldn't really listen to the whole album again.
3/10 - Definitely some personal preference in here but not striking whatsoever. Not offensive by any means, just lacking substance to make the album worth listening to.
8/10 - Great album. Whole listen was enjoyable. Lots of strong instrumentals and the combination of them with Alan is Morissette's unique singing style worked so well. Well worth the listen.
10/10 - 100% personal preference but this is one of my favourite albums of all time. No skips on the album, even the start, interlude and end songs. Frank's voice, lyrics and story telling is amazing. Couldn't want to improve this album if I tried, it's just fantastic from start to finish.
6.5/10 - Good listening. Not particularly stand out aside from the classic street life, yet not bad at all by any means. Fun to listen to but not striking.
7/10 - Pretty good! A few standout songs throughout the album but some middling songs.
6.5/10 - Nothing wrong with this album just a preference that leans against Led Zeppelin
7/10 - Not my bag but I recognise how good this album is. Never thought I would enjoy the rolling stones but there was a fair few songs on there that I liked.
2/10 - I try to see past genres and styles I don't usually like to at least appreciate the music but this completely eluded me. Vocals and instrumentals did not give me any joy; it felt uninspired and similar throughout instrumentally.
7.5/10 - Country is not my genre at all but I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this album. If I was a country fan then I imagine this rating would definitely be higher but it's a solid album all the way through.
5/10 - Not my thing at all. Some of the album is striking but for the most part I just found myself wanting to skip it.
4/10 - Few good songs on there but mostly just skippable songs
6.5/10 - Good album but none of the songs in particular got me, hence the lower review. Enjoyable to listen to but not enough to really grab you.
8/10 - Smooth, easy listening. Solid album that made me want to listen to more Al Green.
4/10 - Couldn't finish the album cause it was very samey from what I listened to aside from one song. Strong vocals but lacking diversity.
7.5/10 - Love a bit of thundercat but to be somewhat critical, it's not an unbelievable album. Plenty of good songs on but a few skips as well. His talent with the bass is unmatched however and his creativity makes up for the skips.
7/10 - Solid album. Thought I wasn't a fan of the smiths but this changed my mind.
6/10 - Intro hooked me in and then I found myself unexcited after what was some interesting instrumentals. An enjoyable listen but didn't strike me as remarkable.
5/10 - Middle of the road. Not bad, not very good either.
7.5/10 - Not super into the singers voice but god damn the instrumentals are fire and I can really appreciate how good a lot of the songs are despite not liking his voice.
3/10 - Not much to say. Boring album and very linear.
8/10 - Great album. Kiwanuka's smooth, silky voice pairs so well with his instrumentals. Also blends variations to his song whilst retaining his unique style that makes the album an easy listening experience without lacking depth.
6/10 - Not a fair rating but I wanted to rate. Only listened to half the album cause of a 11 hour shift and the album being 2 hours long. I recognise some of the songs, and whilst I'm not a particularly big fan, I see the merit behind them.
7/10 - I'm a jazz fan so naturally this spoke to me more than other albums. Groovin the whole way through.
7/10 - Some classics I've heard before that I've enjoyed but listening to the album was a pleasure.

5/10 - For a group with such big hits I thought this album was pretty average. Some of the classics on there but I've heard better.
4/10 - Creative but not enjoyable to listen to really
5/10 - Personal preference here but wasn't striking to me at all, but I recognise that his music is undeniably good
