My review

Level of familiarity before listening

I listened to Little Criminals a few months ago, and wasn’t a fan, but I haven’t heard of Sail Away or any of the songs on it.

What I expected

Little Criminals doesn’t really give me a lot to go on!

What it was actually like

It’s difficult to imagine that a record could be this boring. It was much more consistently bluesy than Little Criminals, but I did not enjoy it.

Lonely at the Top was Oompa Loompa music, albeit slow, so I consider it to have been the record’s worst song.

Grade

2/5: bad, but I was able to listen to the whole thing
