Main Course - 7/10
Definitely better than the soft rock and blue-eyed soul that the band had been releasing in the years leading up to this release. The album's very top heavy, but when that top includes the like of "Jive Talkin'" and "Wind of Change" I'm willing to let it slide.

Re: Biggest Fan - The Album Edition - 17. Chelsea Wolfe - Hiss Spun
Hiss Spun - 7/10 I liked the atmosphere of this album. The layers of sound in particular really add to the album's appeal. It also wasn't the very hard metal that can sometimes go overboard (especially when the growling is involved). "Twin Fawn" is probably my favorite track from the album, but the...

I've never really gotten into vocal-heavy (even particularly famous pieces like Mozart's Requiem), and this piece held true to that trend. I did enjoy some of the instrumental bits on the album, but the vocals are the centerpiece here.
