Uncut's music policy is more conservative and inward looking than even 70s/80s Rolling Stone. Unlike them then, they have little authority or influence so it doesn't really matter.

I think Weyes Blood is pretty great, but she (and Lana Del Rey) do sound a bit samey over their entire albums.

I've been listening to the Lana Del Rey one recently. It's too long but there's some good stuff too.

That's uninispiring, isn't it? I haven't even read a copy in WHSmith for a couple of years ago, but I thought Uncut had a half-decent music coverage for a while, certainly seemed to go broader than Q. I guess that hasn't stuck. I mean, there's a chance that Bruce Springsteen album is genuinely great, but I'd wager my house against it being rubbish and they completely ran out of ideas very quickly.

It’s better than you’d expect it to be but I don’t hear great Bruce songs.
Apparently it’s the best thing he’s done since Born To Run though

Q lost the plot years ago.
I know it was always quite conservative but it had some good writers and turned me onto some great stuff in the 90s

The Irishman top film, by the way. And the Dylan collection, top reissue.

The Dylan pick is understandable, but four and a half decades after Born to Run we have a Sprinsgteen album in the list, and the same amount of time after Mean Streets we have a Scorsese film… a pattern emerges, surely.
(Mean Streets because I watched it again yesterday – what a great film that is. The kind you find new things to love in every time. If The Irishman even comes close I will be impressed.)

The Big Thief album is good, but I'm getting pretty sick of seeing the Springsteen album posted ad nauseum on Facebook.

I've heard exactly ONE.
The Comet Is Coming - Trust In The Lifeforce Of The Deep Mystery
And very good it is, too, depending on your appetite for groovy cosmic-ass jazz.
I'm sick of the Bruce adulation, too. It helps if you think of the album as being titled Horse Butt.
