I Might be the only one

I really like this album. I was teased that this was supposed to be like early 00's AM, but what a shocker - it wasn't. However, I was not disappointed. I think this mix of 'nightmare lounge' with Turner's strong vocals really makes a catchy yet chill album full of depth.

Rolling Stone's 313th greatest album of all time

Superb live acoustic album from one of the biggest rock bands in the world. A rare insight into the personality of one of rock's most mysterious front men. Excellent performances of some of their best songs, and some excellent cover versions of lesser known (but now very well known songs).

Rolling Stone's 303rd greatest album of all time

A decent Dylan album, though it does sadly draw attention to how much better others have recorded some of his songs than he did. All along the watchtower pales in comparison to Hendrix's impassioned version, and even Robert Palmer's cover of I'll Be Your Baby Tonight is better.

Rolling Stone's 239th greatest album of all time

Great pop album, covering quite a range of styles. Like a Prayer and Express Yourself are over all too soon, as is Prince's characterful appearance, with no big singles thereafter. A good overall listen but I expected more from one of the biggest pop albums of all time.

Rolling Stone's 438th greatest album of all time

Technically just a re-issue of The Cure's debut album for the US, this "compilation" features the well-known title track, but not many other well known Cure songs. All songs are fairly typical of their early post-punk style, brooding yet oddly optimistic lyrics and electronic guitar music underneath.
