The Boatman's Call by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

I try so hard to not give out 1s, but this album is so close. Maybe it’s just not my vibe, but I never want to hear this album again. I thought I looked the song from Shrek 2 - and maybe I do on its own - but hearing this whole album has made me like the one song a little less. I’ll be kind and round up from the 1.5 I want to give, but don’t take that as a positive review.

She's So Unusual by Cyndi Lauper

A Night At The Opera by Queen

Forever a 5 - there’s nothing that can ever change my mind.

The Bends by Radiohead

I’ll round up to 4*

Fine to listen to at work, but nothing amazing - and that’s despite me being into electronic music. I’ll round down to 3*.

Francis Albert Sinatra & Antonio Carlos Jobim by Frank Sinatra
