Travellin' Shoes by Ruth Moody.  The volume is way up and I can barely hear this.  Be proud of your music, Ruth.  Makes some noise, rattle the cage.  I'm not interested in your whispers.  

Beloved Wife by Natalie Merchant.  Another sad ballad with a female singer but you know damn well that Natalie Merchant is the talent.  No screaming, no ruckus but she's definitely being heard.  Feminine power.  9.0 of 10.

Climbing Up Walls by Chris Cornell.  Scream gets a lot of unnecessary shit.  Sure, there are valid critiques but it's a well produced, catchy pop album. 8.0 of 10.

Fath Hope Love by King's X.  The best coda this side of Layla.  9.1 of 10.

Mountains by Prince & The Revolution.  I believe Mr. Prince.  9.0 of 10.
