We have had a lot of amazing solo female artists lately, it's nice to see some representation in the bands featured on the List as well. I really enjoyed Beth Gibbons' vocals, and for me they were the highlight of the album.

It did sound a bit more dated than some of our other entries lately; it doesn't quite possess the timelessness of Pavement or the Boo Radleys. Still, sounding very 90s isn't as reprehensible as sounding very 80s, so it's not necessarily a terrible thing.

I am not hooked on the trip hop genre as a whole, but I was still digging this. 

RATING: 3/5
