Oh No – Bring me The Horizon – Certainly a touch better than the rest, almost some soul in the rocker. But then again, it couldn’t be much worse than what came before – C-
Thank You – Leona Lewis – A Gospel edge to this last song, better than when she is blowing a gasket – C-
Down To Ride – Gary Clark Jr – Over seven minutes and not a decent blues lick in the lot. – D+
The Universe Alone – Duran Duran – weren’t these guys supposed to be exciting, what’s the word, bromidic? – D-
I Just Want You – Planetshakers – Oooh, the Planetshakers find sex? Whoops, not so fast, “I just want you… Jesus” – D-
My Dead Drunk Friends – Hollywood Vampires – If only they had invited Ray Wylie Hubbard, this might have paid off. It is still the best of the lot – C+

Suffering – Micachu And The Shapes – Indie pop with a steady beat but little else – C-
Why Me – Jesse Glynne – Mediocre beats off a less than hoped for album but give it enough time and the vocal will hook you – B-
I Was Doing Alright (Then A Few People Died) – Craig Finn – “Sometimes I wonder if anything means anything” a girl during a drunken late night three bottle conversations, wonders. It’s a good question and we all know what Craig’s thoughts are, but it is good to hear him think his way through – A
