I don't have a car but I do have a portable charger (powerbank). We should be ok by the time it gets dark, so I don't think candles will be required but I have a battery torch anyway just in case. Water I'm sorting atm. Thanks for your concern man.

OK, no problem. Sorry to see you go, but I don't want anyone feeling they have to stay here if they don't want to. Is your daughter staying or going with you?

Aw come on, the more the merrier. As long as it's an honest opinion, I don't care if it's five paragraphs or five words long.

I care. Just vote if you're going to be that lazy.

Mord, if you can sit through all of Da Pacem you could have given Seal more than three minutes. That's all I'm saying. This is an "album" club because we are reviewing whole albums right?

This album is held together by Seal. If anyone else made an album this eclectic and yet simultaneously by-the-numbers, it probably wouldn't work at all. Even this only works minimally, but it definitely works. I found myself enjoying this album at certain portions, and finding it at least not annoying at other sections. The performances are all bland and lifeless excepting Seal himself, again exemplifying why and how he holds the album together. All in all, the songwriting is pretty by-the-numbers too. The perfect adult contemporary mix of jazz, R&B, soft rock, and electronic influences mixed into one very unique, and also completely tame and expected, album. Not much else to say, this was good but not anything particularly special. Probably won't listen again ever, or at least until I forget I've already heard it. 6/10

Bikini Kill - Pussy Whipped
Seal - Seal [1991]
The Divine Comedy - Casanova
