SPLIT ENZ "corroboree" cd 1981
a revisit
their six of nine, i own them all
titled "waiata" everywhere except Australia
the title means "dance" or "get together" in both Australian Aborigine and New Zealand Maori
a very good album
a couple of their trademark quirky songs, a ballad, a 40s sounding jazzy bluesy tune and some rock
also a couple of instrumentals in the mix too
not as good as "frenzy" or "true colours" but not too far behind them
album scores 2.3 on this occasion which means
I LIKE THIS ALBUM
my favourite Split Enz single comes off this album:

IMAGINE DRAGONS "night visions" cd 2012
a revisit
from Nevada
debut of six, i own them all
not quite rock and not quite pop so 'alternative' is where they go
MH put me on to these guys back in the day
albums are always full of catchy tunes, some earworms too
consistently good material and one of my 'go to' bands of the last couple of decades
album scores 2.2 from me which means
I LIKE THIS ALBUM

IMAGINE DRAGONS "smoke & mirrors" cd, 2015
a deliberate revisit
from Nevada
their sophomore album of six, i own them all
more developed than their debut album
not rock but more rock than their debut
solid album but Lynne doesnt like it
album scores 2.3 from me which means
I LIKE THIS ALBUM
lead off single:

SIA "music: songs from and inspired by the motion picture" cd 2021
a revisit
Aussie alternative/art-pop artist
her nineth of ten studio albums, i own five
as the title suggests, songs inspired by a movie of the same name which was coincidently written by Sia
her most commercially, radio friendly collection of songs, its just straight forward pop
album scores 2.2 from me which means
I LIKE THIS ALBUM

THE CONNELLS "boylan heights" 1987
Spotify listen
a recommendation from MH as id never heard of them
jingle-jangle pop on here, hints of folk
a really good album for a first up listen
lead off single sums up the sound of the album

OASIS "standing ont he shoulders of giants" cd 2000
a revisit
from the UK
their fourth of seven, i own them all
their third was really bad and this is pretty well on par with that one
like five of the ten tracks
best three are the opening track which is instrumental and the two Noel sings
album scores 1.5 which means
I DO NOT LIKE THIS ALBUM

MENTAL AS ANYTHING "get wet" cd 1979
Aussie alt-pop/new wave band
debut album of thirteen, i own five
strange album thats a long way from their pop commercialism of "live it up" six years down the track
album is decent but i really have to be in the mood for it
on this occasion i wasnt and it only scored 1.7 but that still means
I LIKE THIS ALBUM
