inconsistent ratings
Stephen Cook wrote the same review for Dusty Springfield's "From Dusty With Love" and "A Brand New Me". Yet, the former alias album was rated 3 stars and the latter was rated 4.5 stars.

Yes, they are alias albums that are commonly released almost simultaneously in the American market and British market. There are many pairs of alias albums, which share the same tracks but one may include additional ones (probably according to market expectations). When alias albums were reviewed by different reviewers, I assume different ratings within a star. But it's confusing when a reviewer gave different ratings when the only difference was title.
We'll ask the team to take a look. Both release dates also say November 1970 so I think one may be a re-release of the same tracks under a different title, but it would be nice if the review specified that.
