The Last Dinner Party - Prelude to Ecstasy
86

The album certainly got stronger and stronger as it progressed, evolving from mediocre indie-fare to something truly worth taking note of

Kirin J Callinan - If I Could Sing
58

This falls apart fast after the first four tracks, which are so fantastic it makes me genuinely upset that he didn't care enough to put any effort in beyond that

Herbie Hancock - Head Hunters
84

Each track is weaker than the last, but Chameleon is such a high starting point the bar remains very high throughout. Perhaps it's a blessing the album is only 4 tracks long..

PinkPantheress - Take me home
78

Do you miss me is weak but the other two tracks on offer here are top drawer

Cheekface - It's Sorted
69

The writing is undoubtedly sharp, but the music is just not there to back it up throughout most of this record

Lana Del Rey - Lana Del Ray A.K.A. Lizzy Grant
92

Certainly the most interesting and exciting Lana record. Not all of it works, but it's such a refreshing turn of pace from her more commercial output in the years since that it overcomes a lot of it's issues, with glimpses of the great songwriting that would propel her into the spotlight

82

An awful lot of throwaway material, but also some real highs to go with it. The record succeeds in never taking itself too seriously, and is considerably better for it

Neck Deep - Neck Deep
85

The best pop punk album to come out today by some margin. Put that on the album cover

Marika Hackman - Big Sigh
78

Strong start but just devolves into blandness

Green Day - Saviors
70

Doesn't excite, doesn't offend. We get a couple glimpses of the Green Day of old across the record which shows that there's still something there to be uncovered

Jean Dawson - "XCAPE", PT. 1 JEAN DAWSON AS "PHOENIX"
100

two perfect little songs, but honestly how can you really judge a 2 track EP

Dolly Parton - Little Sparrow
98

Loses marks only for that weird I Get a Kick Outta You cover which is bizarrely out of place

Phoebe Bridgers - So Much Wine
88

Very chilly little Christmas EP

Japanese Breakfast - Soft Sounds From Another Planet
72

Starts strong but the second half is very weak

Dirty Projectors - Mount Wittenberg Orca
91

Perfect little EP until the last song, which is fine but a bit directionless and indulgent

Built to Spill - You in Reverse
86

The rest of the album doesn't quite live up to Goin against your mind or Conventional Wisdom, but it's still very strong front to back

Bill Ryder-Jones - Iechyd Da
69

Very generic and forgettable

Kid Cudi - INSANO
67

The second half of this is WAY better than the first, but the first half is so bad that it still only amounts to a mediocre album

Nelly - Country Grammar
92

Some of the writing's not the best but the beats and flows are undeniable

Sufjan Stevens - All Delighted People EP
82

It certainly drops in quality over the last few songs but there is some top quality Sufjan early on in this EP that makes it more than worth the listen
