At its best this is far and away the best showcase of Nutini's talent. Some moments struggle to bring quite as much due to a slight contrast in instrumentals compared to his vocals, leaving them a bit isolated and overworked, but in other moments they complement eachother wonderfully to create incredible tracks! A great listen!
Not huge on the Master Peace elements, but it gets bonus points for waking Declan McKenna up
True to it's name - Sunny Side Up is absolutely brimming with positive energy and good vibes. Featuring some of Nutini's most catchy, sing along tunes this is a joy to listen to, although the back end does feel a bit underwhelming compared to the earlier tracks in the album and don't quite fit the same vibe the rest of the album presents. Overall though, a load of fun bottled up in an album!
A seriously enjoyable listen packed to the brim with atmosphere and tension. There are very very few weak moments to be found here!
Star studded with some incredible tracks showcasing the best for Frankie goes to Hollywood, just a bit bloated with some filler tracks that add very little to the overall experience
Whilst I may not like it as much as others here, this is still a wonderful album full of raw emotion and haunting vocals - it just doesn't quite win me over as much as other people here
I wanted to love this after seeing the band recommended on tiktok, and whilst the first half of the album had me feeling pretty good about this album, but I just found it really fell off towards the end. I have a hatred for the last song that I can't even really describe, and think it absolutely ruins what was generally a decent jazz pop album. Up through Memory Box, this is an easy 85+, but the tracks following that bring it back down to a 74 for me
Not only is this an incredibly creative and well constructed album, it's incredibly well balanced in its style and its emotions. This is actually a really enjoyable listen from beginning to end, whilst remaining true to it's jazz-rock/punk roots. Brilliant!
Decent but really nothing all that notable
I enjoyed this! The casual laid back feels isn't 100% for me, but I appreciate the creativity on show here!
