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'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.
