Short Attention Span Record Reviews - Mid-November Update
ADELE – 25
Dear music industry,
If this bunch of soppy piano ballads is your last hope then you better kiss your ass goodbye.
Sincerely,

ANNA VON HAUSSWOLFF – The Miraculous
Burdened at birth with a name like Anna Michaela Ebba Electra Von Hausswolff the poor child had no choice but to grow up a goth. (8)
ERIC CHURCH – Mr. Misunderstood
If country star Church’s previous album “The Outsiders” was his Bon Jovi moment then “Mr. Misunderstood” is his John Mellencamp. (6)
JEFF LYNNE’S ELO – Alone In The Universe
ELO is very MOR and FYI I was BBB. (5)
GRIMES – Art Angels
It’s not a bad pop record, but “weird/unique” does not necessarily equal “great”. (7)
MATTHEW SWEET & SUSANNA HOFFS – Completely Under The Covers
Between 2006 and 2013 Sweet & Hoffs released 3 albums covering their favorite songs. Now in Box Set format with a 4th disc featuring bonus tracks, this plays like “Children Of Nuggets” or a mixtape you made for someone you really, really like. (9)
QUEEN – A Night At The Odeon
It’s Christmas 1975, “A Night At The Opera” has just been released, and Queen are playing live at the Hammersmith Odeon fronted by a Freddie Mercury who’s more camp than a boy scout jamboree. (10)
