The Budos Band - V (or 5)
In some ways, the less said about it the better, I feel.
It has been a while since we've had an instrumental only album, in fact I can only remember one I think.
For me there is always something quite intriguing about music without vocals, that can move you and make you feel things without being told in words what you are meant to be taking from it. This is one of those for me. There is a mood to it, there is a certain darkens in it at times, pain, joy, menacing, basic playfulness. I really like the mix, and the skills of the the instruments.
Look forward to the discussions it triggers.
Only got the last 2nd two listens in today whilst working,then bloody phone ran out of charge, life is far too busy, need to find time earlier!! Anyway, would be a 7 from me, which would change nothing, good, but not quite as good as hoped/expecting, but will be checking out another couple of their albums, since the consensus among those who know them, say this isn't necessarily the standout one ;)A good solid performance from @stoneblue 's first nomination, Feats Don't Fail Me Now by Little Feat finishes with a nice round 7.00 from 12 voters. It becomes the 17th album to hit the magical 7 mark.
Next up, and waiting in the wings with the clues, is @Coatigan.
You expected it to be a bit worse, I expected slightly better.....bang on those 7's ;)This gets back to why I wish we had 2 weeks on a rolling basis. I wanted to give Little Feat a 7. I liked it more than I expected for a southern boogie band (even though they were from LA). But just couldn't get it in in time.
Another I'm looking forward to, got a playlist of instrumentals (VH, Leppard, Rush, Metallica etc).....think this may be a 'bit' different!! But vocals not always required.The Budos Band - V (or 5)

A Def Leppard instrumental has passed me by… one of my least favourite bands from a genre I generally love. May the lack of vocals might improve them ;)Another I'm looking forward to, got a playlist of instrumentals (VH, Leppard, Rush, Metallica etc).....think this may be a 'bit' different!!

Not my favourites either, but Iron Maiden probably my least favourite from then, of the more popular ones.A Def Leppard instrumental has passed me by… one of my least favourite bands from a genre I generally love. May the lack of vocals might improve them ;)
No, once the changeover has happened and the score's been posted, I'm afraid that's it.Sorry I'm late to this Rob but works' been crackers again!
Not sure if you add the late scores on but I LOVED this album and it would've got a 9 from me!
