AKA 'Rob and Blue's Nostalgia Thread'.

Thanks for doing this Rob, I'll post my review of Aerial later.

I'll look forward to reading it

.....so long as you don't expect me to write a review.

I hate writing about music

.........I find writing about colours easier.

I'm still as unimpressed by large swathes of 'Aerial' as I was when it came out, but I've grown to like Mrs. B and A Coral Room off disc one, and Nocturn off disc two. For me these at least have the merit of not sounding as horribly dated as the rest of it. Overall I feel it's a very under-par piece of work, weakly written and performed. A lot of it still strikes me as sounding like the work of a talented 14 year old doing a school assembly.

The only unreservedly good thing about it is her voice. I love how it's aged and mellowed, it reminds me of later Joni at times.
