Looking forward to the next review Seltz!!  |

Ah but ITWOP wasn't tarnished by the Letters.
I do like Islands, I just think the first half could be stronger. I guess I can justify raising it to 7.5 given that it is quite a unique album by any standards.

I'm quite keen to get onto reviewing Larks but work has been really drilling me lately so I haven't had the time. Though I finish in a week's time so those reviews could come more quickly than you expect.
I'm really looking forward to reviewing Red.
