Beth Gibbons - Lives Outgrown
50

5/10
This album is like unbelievably well produced, but unfortunately just did very little for me in terms of my tastes. I found most of the songs pretty boring, although I totally understand why some people would love this album, it just wasn't for me. Tell Me Who You Are Today was a cool start, very haunting with that lovely cello playing. Floating On A Moment was really beautiful, I liked it a lot. Burden Of Life was decent, didn't do a great deal for me, similar with Lost Changes. ... read more

I really loved this album. Just some really brilliant, swampy rock. The guitar playing is incredible throughout, both in terms of riffs and solos, of which there are plenty without being overwhelming. I just love this kind of music man this was awesome. Sweet Home Alabama is of course an absolute classic, great track to start on. I Need You was a really cool bluesy number, some great guitar work. Don't Ask Me No Questions was awesome, incredible groove on the whole thing, so catchy. ... read more

Cowboy Hunters - From One Speck of Dust to Another

8/10
Really enjoyed this EP, great punk vibes, nobody taking themselves too seriously but without being like quirky-goofy on purpose, great riffs and vocals, just a fun time all around. Garden of Eden was a strong start, proper heavy stuff. Losing My Grip was solid. Repeating was awesome, great riffage ans vocals, loved it, and that second verse with the proper punk bass tone was great. The title track was cool, enjoyed. Bi Polar Bear is a great name for a song, and was a fun end to this ... read more

[Listening to an Album by Every Performer in The Last Waltz PT.7]
A decent album with some very fun, groovy tracks on here, and some I found relatively boring and slow. There's nothing awful on here but also nothing insanely good, still a decent pack of songs overall with a few standouts. Street People was a solid start, very homegrown sounding instrumentation which I enjoyed. Long Face was super groovy, and some very fun rhymes throughout. I Must Be in a Good Place Now was fine but ... read more

Jim Croce - You Don't Mess Around with Jim

9/10
Really great album, good mix of slower, sadder ones with beautiful lyrics (and though I'm not usually a lyrics man these ones really impress themselves onto you), and more upbeat ones with a groove to them, but without sacrificing the same home grown folky feel throughout. Really well written, very simple but effective production, loved it. The title track was a great opener, absolute classic. Tomorrow's Gonna Be a Brighter Day was nice, more relaxed but cool. New York's Not ... read more
