Golf's verdict: Quite unlike the first two albums. More melodic and generally makes less of an impact, be that positive or negative. I rather enjoyed it actually, as it is much closer to Lou Reed's solo work and - thankfully - has none of Nico's tuneless droning on it.
Maire's verdict: Don't get the appeal. Better than previous albums but still shite.

Golf's verdict: Absolutely delightful and worth reading about. Basically a band formed by regugees fleeing from the threat of Islamic fundamentalists in Mali.
Maire's verdict: Enjoyed the tunes but did feel as they were slight variations of the same one. Obviously no idea why they were singing about.

Golf's verdict: HIDDEN GEM! So massively under-rated are SFA that it's a national disgrace. Most of their albums have more great ideas, brilliantly executed, than many bands have in their whole careers. Their album sung entirely in Welsh, 'Mwng' is another highlight.
Maire's verdict: HIDDEN GEM! Loved this album.
