The Sandra 80's/90's Rate: Done, winner crowned!

Listened to Sandra's debut album this afternoon and... it's better than all of Madonna's albums during the 80s.

Should post that in the Madonna thread and see how people would react

I have got my 11 locked in and have got down some provisional scores after one listen through to every album. Going to listen to them all again to finalise things.

Into A Secret Land is so good. It sounds like the Pet Shop Boys produced a Sandra album, a la Liza Minnelli's Results and Dusty Springfield's Reputation.
 
Sandra's first 4 albums are so strong aren't they?

I predict a Close To Seven and Fading Shades massacre when this rate begins!
The last two albums we're rating aren't bad, and lots of the songs would get higher points in a mixed artists rate, but comparing them to her first four albums brought their scores down. Saying that, the lowest scores I've given are 5.5 and 6, so not negative.

Also, some of the songs feel like they should be on an Enigma album instead of a Sandra album, which I took into account (I like Enigma a lot, but her vocals are less prominently featured).

The last two albums aren't bad as such, just a bit bland and very Enigma-lite without the highs of her first four albums. I struggle to remember how most of the songs go the minute they have ended which is never good.
 
Listened to "Mirrors" this evening and it's definitely a step down from her debut - still a nice amount of bops on it though.

And is there a possibility of a little extension? Currently up to the greatest hits album songs, I'm not sure if I can squeeze four more albums by the deadline.

An extension is no problem, what is suitable? A week? Two weeks? Maybe @ohnostalgia can advise?



Both are fine. I’d rather you give one extension, even if it’s longer, than to keep extending it multiple times. So pick whatever length will give your voters a realistic amount of time to finish but still works for you. No longer than a month is what I’d say for a maximum.
