Lowland
Higher than 2% of albums we've rated

Strong singles and several worthwhile album tracks make the songs hold up, but the live cut and cover-heavy finish give this retrospective a loose shape.

Significant within its genre. Reported but not counted — how far a record travelled describes its reception rather than the record, and a newer release has had less time to travel than an older one.
