Seventh Tree

It was alright? Some good bits and some boring bits. Maybe I missed something but don't think I would actively listen to that again. Not bad though.

Very forgettable.

Vocals were great. The music hovers between ethereal and sleep-inducing in most parts. It had a very "adult contemporary" sounding on that's not really my thing. Overall it was very forgettable.

Meh

Not for me, this one

achei até legalzinho em alguns momentos!! dito isso, é tbm extremamente sem sal

ou tem umas bem legais hein mas eh bem chatim morno quando não tá bem legal. bem normal!

= The Beatles Perfectly fine

#166/1001. This introduced an unknown Goldfrapp for me. The folky sounds lured me to the same old story. With the first two songs I was in love with this album. Then settings went on, and as with love often, the passionate feeling started fading away, and changed first into liking, then to whatever. I don't know if I could live happily ever after with this album. I'm pretty sure I would fall in to infidelity with some other artist. I don't have anything against visiting the album again, hoping to revive initial moments of attraction, but would that help? I don't think it is an album that I'll keep around till death do us apart. Sorry Goldfrapp, it was fun while it lasted, hope you have better luck with someone else.

soft and sweet but a little boring

This would definitely be on my list of 1001 albums that “are totally fine.” It was fine.

I would like to go back

has pirate hat

brit. pop, singer songwriter, 2008 ->3

I thought I would love this more than I did. Their second album 'Supernature' was pretty awesome. This was OK, but a bit boring, easy to listen to but also easy to forget.

When I had my first professional job out of uni my boss used to play Goldfrapp all the time - I don’t hate it, but it’s about as bland as my boss was. To be fair, I don’t think she liked my music taste either.

Very good chill

Started slow but really picked up by the end

Goldfrapp This album starts with Clowns…an A+ way to express the pressure of being a woman and society’s bizarre obsession with ‘Titties that live on and on and on and on’. It sounds wistfully romantic but surprise, it’s about plastic surgery. High five to that skill! ‘Happiness’ feels like an invitation to join a cult. And honestly? If she started one, maybe I would join. I love her blending of electronic and folky elements into a surreal delivery. It’s whimsical and funny but addresses some very real stuffs! Seeing Goldfrapp live at the Hollywood Bowl was one of the top concerts I’ve been to. The sound and her voice was better than the album, which is a feat. Truly an incredible performance.

I want a list made by an American

3/5

Pretty nice sound but it doesn't do much to get outside of its comfort zone

Surprisingly good. Had never heard of her before.

Damn, I only have two in my yard.

Sonically pretty cool but also very forgettable.

If this album were a painting — okay, let's be honest, it wouldn't end up in the Louvre — but I'd hang it in my house. Every time I walk past it in the hallway, I'll nod to myself and say, "hmm, isn't that a nice painting?" And then I would go to the kitchen and look for snacks.

Cool album. Songs are well done and have a unique sound. Not something I’d personally reach for a lot but it’s good.

Was listening the whole time looking like 😐

a bit of a change from their previous very Turin Brakes in places

Goldfrapp is unclassifiable, and still anything they do feels like exactly what they should be doing. I really enjoyed this album when it came out, and I am thankful for the opportunity to listen again after a long time away. Some truly wonderful songs on this album.

It was okay. Kind of dream/techno pop. Started to lose interest near the end. 2.5/5 Probably won't listen again

Something I hadn’t heard before that I will listen to again. 7.0

When there's a random 1974 album I dont know and I dont like, I say to myself "well you should have been there to understand it". But in 2008 I was alive and had a more or less functioning cortex and let me tell you, this Album is NOT worth enduring random 70 music. But well, maybe I have to be british to understand it.

Laid back electro-acoustic music with a nice ethereal quality. I'm not crazy about the singer's voice, but was moved by several of the tracks on the album, so it just about makes it into my Tidal library and gains five stars from me.

Dreamy beautifulness; more of this please. Perhaps not life changing, but tasted like a slice of autumnal heaven, and the concessions to maximilism clearly dragging it away from whisper pop.

Nice

I listened to this while falling asleep and had good dreams.

Enjoyed it.

Really enjoyed this dreamy album

Sounded like I was listening to the soundtrack from Coraline.

Very slow electronic. Wasn't necessarily bad, but definitely not engaging.

I think I want to like this. Female artist, check. Singer songwriter style, check. English, check. Clean and pleasant, check. So why is this so numbingly boring and meh? Is it me? Do I need more coffee? No, this just lacks interest. And separately, what's with the pirate outfit? There wasn't one "Argh" nor any sea chanties to be found. False advertising!

6/10 Nice enough, but not really adding anything special. Highlights: Some People Happiness Caravan Girl

I would have zero idea what she's singing about in Clowns if I didn't look up the lyrics - kindof like a Sia-vibe type of singing. It's all very whimsical la,la,la. Very floaty, electic. A&E and Caravan Girl were cool songs and really stood out.

not bad at all

Well done soft rock with good vocals

God tunes and beautiful voice

Good

iwie voll nice aber iwie auch forgettable. conflicted. 3.5.

This is an original sound. I don't like her voice so much - it's a little too throaty/whispery for me. On the positive side, the songwriting and production are beautiful.

this is a slower album with a less focus on the instrumentals in my opinion and her voice is the instrument in a lot of the cases of these songs. melodic and I like some of the hooks. I can't say none of the songs left a lasting impression on me however, but that has to do more with where I am than the album I believe. I'm too anxious for a slow album. three and a half out of five

I really liked her voice. The first song especially was a favorite. A lot of the album felt pretty same-y but not bad at all

Meeeeeeh. I didn't particularly like this. Too slow

Ambient and pleasant. Nothing outstanding, but very enjoyable.

2.75

Bland, aural wallpaper. Electronic shoegaze with sub cocteau twins vocals.

Day 56 Wasn’t what I was expecting, nice background music whilst working today, probably wouldn’t return often though 6/10 Highlights Happiness A&E

Was nice enough for a listen, not exactly my go to's Will I listen to again: 5%

ce kool 5/5

Nope

Vibes💫

Mostly faded into the background for me, but there were definitely a few moments of beautiful serene dream pop that made me take notice. Favorite track: Little Bird

Completely unremarkable

Cozy rain day album

This is #day417 of my #1001albumsyoumusthearbeforeyoudie challenge, and… I don't get why this Goldfrapp album made the cut when their debut is already on the list. Seventh Tree feels forgettable and utterly inessential. I'm landing on a 2 out of 5. Looking forward to #day418.

OK. 2/5

This is better than I thought. Not my favourite music but still very good.

I forgot what they were singing about.

I've been a Goldfrapp head since Strict Machine was on that commercial for Nip/Tuck. And by that I mean I liked that one song. That song slaps. This album doesn't. This album is a snooze. If Gen Z has heard of it, I'd say it's a progenitor of modern snoozecore, but I don't think they have, so it's probably just boring.

First song "Clowns" I was listening along and reading the lyrics and for a moment I thought I was having a stroke because what I was reading and what it sounded like she was saying were two different things. Is this where singing in cursive came from? - I mean it is a beautiful song and the production is very lovely but WHOA hahahah The rest of the album is a pleasant vibe. It was nice to just have on in the background while I got things done throughout the day.

The music was really pretty but SO BLAND. I feel like if i was the kind of person who liked music as background noise or fell asleep to white noise,i would like it.

I can't understand anything she is saying in the first song. The first song just made me angry in general. The album cover looks like she took some drugs and now she thinks her friend is chasing her when really they're just making sure she doesn't run into traffic. This is a solid 'eh' to me.

O this lady has a pretty voice. Good lord this is getting annoying. This album makes me want to go to sleep and not in a good way.

I remember when the first Goldfrapp album came out. Some of my co-workers at the record store loved it, so I heard it a few times. Didn't think that much of it myself. Going in to this one I was hoping their later stuff would be better. Starting in to the opening track, I thought maybe it was. A couple more songs in and, nope. Still not my thing.

Eh ... definitely one of my didn't love it didn't hate it kind of albums ... but I am sure in a month and 30 albums down the road, I won't even recall who this was or what it sounded like.

★★½

Pleasant, well-delivered but unexceptional.

Breathy ethereal vocals under a storytelling narrative of dream-like escapades. Mellow musical audio, but keep the beat from being too slow.

who this

Before this, I was only familiar with a couple of Goldfrapp’s more electronic sounding songs and really enjoy them. This album isn’t bad but didn’t do much for me. A&E is a good song. It reminds me a bit of Taylor Swift’s cottagecore era, which I liked at the time, but it gets repetitive.

I enjoyed this. Nice and chill. Not sure it's one of the greatest albums of all time, but it was a good listen.

Other than associating them with electronic music, I know almost nothing about Goldfrapp. That made the opening track a real curveball, until I read that this album was a departure from what they'd done before. This is lovely and enjoyable, and "A&E" is downright great. Alison Goldfrapp's voice is incredible. I'll dig into their other stuff now.

Not bad, and not too long, only 41 minutes. It's nothing I'd buy but I wasn't revolted.

Airy, ethereal vocals that have some charm but do wear thin after a while. Still a pleasant enough listen.

# Playlist Track - Caravan Girl # Notes - Good, albeit a bit too-slow listen. There are shining moments here and there, but overall it's more of a gloomy vibe that just won't jive with every mood. - I did enjoy the transition to 'Caravan Girl' very much, but that left me wanting a bit more variety in the album.

Ethereal and dreamy. Also boring. 3/5

Good background. Not very memorable

This is the dreamy, ethereal, atmospheric kind of music that sounds really pleasant while you're listening to it. But it's also the kind of music where it does slightly merge together at times and you forget what each song sounded like by the time the album is finished.

I bounced off Felt Mountain hard tbh. And I had put this one off because I didn’t expect “more folksy goldfrappe album” to be my thing but I was pleasantly surprised

This time period of indie rock is very much in my wheelhouse. And I probably should like Goldfrapp, but I've given them a try multiple times in the past and it just hasn't happened for me. This was probably the last nail in the coffin.

I can see how someone would say this is good but I wouldn’t be honest if I said I enjoyed it. Honestly, I just kind of forgot it was on.

Gold trap Seventh Tree was a good folk album Goldfrapp has a beautiful voice added a few tracks to the playlist im making

Yes, this was excellent. Really otherworldly and a little bit trance inducing. It's just the right balance of acoustic and electronica and the vocals are dreamy. It's very slight, which occasionally means it loses your attention, but still a lovely bit of business. To pay it an extremely big compliment, it sounds like Belle and Sebastian in places, especially Caravan Girl, which would fit on Write About Love nicely.

Förvånansvärt bra, kommer förmodligen återkomma.

I thought this was a pretty good album from Goldfrapp. I wasn’t expecting a folktronica record, but I definitely prefer this over her more club oriented electro sound. It has the charm of late 60s psychedelic folk, with lush, pastoral English countryside vibes, layered in with electronic textures that gives it a more ambient pop edge.

More relaxed than any other Goldfrapp I’ve heard, and about as enjoyable, which is “pretty enjoyable”. It’s probably forever tied to a weird feeling of sentimentality as of yesterday though: while listening, I was driving with my four year old kids, and we went by a construction site. One of my kids said “Maybe when I’m big they’ll build me a yellow house to live in!” and I thought of her growing up and felt a bit sad and said, “Yeah, maybe.” Then she said “And you can live in the dump!”

Hat meine Erwartungen übertroffen. Erinnert irgendwie an andere Künstlerinnen, ohne sie zu kopieren an Stellen. Cool. 3 1/2 aber ich runde auf.

This was alright. Very whispery. I was listening to this album on YouTube, and just happened to look over when Happiness was playing. The official video for that song is delightful (boingy)!

Very nice.

A pleasant nothing album. There's a place in the world for this, but it's not the lofty heights. Almost forgot I listened to this as I was listening to it. 2 is harsh since it's not bad but I think I'm mad it's on the list.

It’s good, I think? It’s very atmospheric and ‘soft’ and it kind of washed over me. But I liked what I heard. That’s not much of a review, I know.

A pleasant folk styled album, nothing too outstanding, but at the same time, nothing too bad either. A consistent album if nothing else.

- é um álbum bem feito, mas não achei muito marcante - a voz dela é muito bonita - tem elementos de dream pop, talvez um predecessor do hyperpop?

Cologne Cerrone Houdini my favourite track. Not a bad album

Yeah, I don't really think this lives here. It's one of those albums that seemed like it might be a classic at the time, but didn't last.

Soft yet powerful. And absolutely gorgeous album from start to finish. Arrangements are magic, her vocals are sublime. Even with this albums sound being a departure from the bigger danciblee sound they were honing, seventh tree is a trip worth taking over and over again. Favorites include "little birds" "eat yourself" "A&E" 4.5🌟

Not what I was expecting at all. The only song of theirs I knew previously was Ooh La La - so this was the polar opposite of what I was expecting Not my cup of tea, was pretty boring and bland sadly 2 ⭐️

2000-2010 is an underrated era! Gold indeed

Legalzinho. No máximo 2,5.

Soft, dull, boring, forgetable. 2 stars

Nice! Now a fan.

Second album from this artist I've had on my list and this one was marginally better than the first. In fact, this one may end up on the play list at our next Wiccan meeting.

Another one I’m unsure should be on 1001 albums to listen to before dying. It was fine. Vocals were good and composition of the music was good. I wouldn’t go out the way to listen again. No song really left a mark on me either

Didn't know what I'd be getting here but was pleasantly surprised I guess.

Not as good as her prior effort Felt Mountain Alright now that that's all said and done where can I get one of those snazzy colonial pirate hats

This isn't bad, but I'm not really seeing why this warrants a place on the list. It's pretty, but most songs a kind of boring. Kind of wannabe Kate Bush but without the substance. After a while, it just felt like a series of downtempo lullabies. Most songs seem to follow the structure of slow, soft opening to crescendo of drums or strings by the end. I don't think I connected with it in the same way others might. Most songs kind of blended together. I thought "A&E" stood out as something that could top adult contemporary radio-- not my style but at least it broke the mold of the rest of the songs. I thought "Caravan Girl" was the most fleshed out song, and I'm surprised it wasn't put closer to the top of the album to break out of the downtempo lull (or, it could have even been extended as the album's closing song to end with a bang, mirroring how every individual song seems to crescendo). A lot of good small ideas throughout but it didn't come together well.

63/1001 :: Goldfrapp - Seventh Tree Heard before? ❌ Would I revisit? ➖ Rating: 7 Listen before you die: Sure After being smacked with an error message last night I was curious when the next album would drop and if I’d have enough time to get through it. Of course that was short lived and I was served the 4th album from a band I had never heard of. I don’t know why but based on the cover art I thought this was gonna be trip hop or something. That it was not but it was dream pop. Frankly this album was right in my wheelhouse and a very enjoyable listen. I’m not sure that I found it special. But I also didn’t have to skip through anything. Will I go back? Not sure, but if you wanted too I get it…

Liked it

Harmless. Her voice kind of annoyed me, but I did enjoy the closing track.

I liked this more than Felt Mountain.

Starts off alright and becomes boring after a few songs.

I like a bit of Goldfrapp

Fun and interesting, but maybe a little repetitive

Hard to understand the lyrics. Like the folk based acoustics

I really enjoyed this ethereal album after a chaotic and stressful few weeks.

well this was a nice little surprise. Never heard of Goldfrapp before and it turned out pretty great. She has a real nice dreamlike quality to her voice, this whole album works great for a quiet day doing something for yourself. Some really good warm tones coming out of the sound, if that makes sense. Despite being low energy it still has a good pop to it and kept me invested (Cologne Cerrone Houdini for example).

A rare British W. I loved the whole vibe of this album. Her voice is fantastic and I was never bored. Definitely adding this to my vinyl collection

Superb

best album this website has recommended to me so far, the album sounds and feels exactly like how the cover looks and i mean that in the best way possible!

Dreamy Folktronica which was promising in the first 15 seconds then drifting off in the repetitve dullness of the rest oft the album.

It was a little too singin yodeling on a mountain for my taste.

New to me and excellent. Thanks for adding to my music collection.

A real departure from what I think of as being Goldfrapp music (more EDM or at least electronica). This album is more like Virgin Suicides by Air or something--ethereal pop with synths and electronic influences. Not really an album that I liked a lot, but I dig the musical exploration. Ultimately I picked two of the less popular (based on Spotify plays) tracks on the album: "Cologne Cerrone Houdini" and "Caravan Girl." Both seem to capture the overall vibes of the album, and I enjoy both songs a lot, though I'm the album isn't one I'm likely to return to.

I got Felt Mountain before this and was floored and how dark and brooding it sounded - such a unique sound that I appreciated. Seventh Tree is a step down. Stripped back singer songwriter vibes with a few electronic elements here and there. Really did not impress me much, though pleasant enough while it's on. 2.7/5->3/5

Dreamy, ethereal, nice background

Favorite songs: Caravan Girl, Cologne Cerrone Houdini, Little Bird, A&E Least favorite songs: Clowns 3/5

Never got into Goldfrapp before, but after spending time with this album I now want to listen to more of her music. Very pleasantly surprised by this one.

2.4 2x

Dreamy, ethereal but pretty much instantly forgettable. Fine for what it is but won’t be making its way into regular rotation for me.

Lovely album. A lot of it is light and airy folk but usually with a somber or melancholy tone that reminded me of Radiohead. Other tracks were very reminiscent of psychedelic Beatles songs. And “Road to Somewhere” felt like a midtempo 90s pop song, like Madonna in electronica mode. Nice, eclectic album with a mellow vibe.

This was a polarizing or on/off kind of listen for me. Some songs I thought were incredible, like "Clowns" "Little Bird", and the Beatles-esque "Happiness", and some I really didn't like, like "A&E", "Cologne Cerrone Houdini". I felt like I couldn't really get a good grasp on what this artist was trying to do. Maybe that makes it impressive though? It's certainly interesting music that moves in a lot of directions and yet doesn't sound stretched too thin. I feel kind of conflicted with my rating, but I genuinely think with more listens I could grow to really enjoy this record. I'll have to give it another spin when I'm in a different headspace.

I was not previously familiar with this artist and when I saw electronic as the genre I was none too excited. But it was certainly better than I expected. 3.5/5 #157

Nothing especially interesting.

I thought this was a pretty good album from Goldfrapp. I wasn’t expecting a folktronica record, but I definitely prefer this over her more club oriented electro sound. It has the charm of late 60s psychedelic folk, with lush, pastoral English countryside vibes, layered in with electronic textures that gives it a more ambient pop edge.

An okay album but nothing that stands out. 3 stars or C-.

This is probably the first pop album that I liked. I can sence a ton of psychodelia here, melodies and vocals are soothing. Favourite song: Little Bird. Loved the first part of album more

GOSTEI E me surpreendi muito positivamente

the biggest cult indoctrination vibes on a lowkey pop album this side of the beach boys' Friends. some lyrics like those on Happiness almost literalize this, but even without those, theres something kind of freaky about how little this is vying for your deliberate attention...like its trying to sneak something past you, or seep into your subconscious while u dont notice. the subtle colors that are here are very naturey and mythical...and occasionally something does totally grab my brain as an extremely beautiful pop song. seemingly designed to be slight, but clearly very artful, and for all that ive said its certainly never boring

Meh

I want to say THANK YOU, from the bottom of my heart. This album is delightful: dreamy, hypnotic, unpretentious… perfect. Love the production, instrumentals, voice.. it’s perfect.

Pirate costume on album cover? 5/5. Songs? 3/5. Not my thing, but I did like one song enough to star on Spotify.

A second surprisingly great record from Goldfrapp on this list! Delicious Beatleque production and sound touches on this without sounding necessarily anachronistic for its time. Great songs, if a little samey throughout, but it's a great same!

It’s got a honey-dipped quality, with one foot planted in the past, evoking traditional English folk and ‘60s pop and film soundtracks, and another in the future, with trip-hop, electronica and dance elements. Alison Goldfrapp’s voice is majestic. This is the second Goldfrapp release we’ve reviewed, and I’m wondering how the hell I’m only now hearing them.

The British version of St. Vincent? A talented artist who mixes it up enough to be consistently interesting.

Very different than the previous Goldfrapp album that was on the list (which I loved). I don't like this one as much. Music seems fine, just not my thing.

It is a good listen, but the samey vibes make me zone out. But it is quite enjoyable as a background listen while focusing on something else.

interesting. i’ve never heard any of the songs. the first one was unintelligible for me but i liked it the most. felt like nothing i’d really heard from popular music.

Beautiful and relaxing, absolutely wonderful!

Maybe a 5, I was in a good mood.

Maybe the most boring album yet. Nothing unique. No energy. Couldn’t understand the singer half the time. She sang like she didn’t really want to be on this album and I think I know why. Not good.

01) Clowns - 8,0 02) Little Bird - 8,5 03) Happiness - 10,0 04) Road to Somewhere - 8,0 05) Eat Yourself - 8,0 06) Some People - 7,5 07) A&E - 10,0 08) Cologne Cerrone Houdini - 8,0 09) Caravan Girl - 9,0 10) Monster Love - 8,0 TOTAL: 8,50 (85/100) Current ranking: 111/633

Can’t say any individual song was particularly amazing, but the general feel of the album was a bit different and not unpleasant

I very much enjoyed this. Simpsons: No

Extremely pleasant.

Beautiful vocals. Clowns and Happiness are lovely tracks. Goldfrapp were one of the first bands I saw live and at my very first Glastonbury in 2004. Pre this album, but they still hold some significance for me. I also had my first proper snog watching them too, so there's a special place for this group in my heart!

Nice

Very soft vibes, but I couldn’t really picture the feels

nah 2 star

Das Album Seventh Tree wurde von Goldfrapp, einem britischen Elektronik-Duo bestehend aus Alison Goldfrapp und Will Gregory, im Zeitraum 2006–2007 aufgenommen. Die Arbeiten fanden teils im renommierten Abbey Road Studio in London statt (insbesondere für die Streicharrangements) sowie in ihrem privaten Heimstudio in Somerset, England. Goldfrapp stammen aus England; das Duo gehört zur britischen Musikszene. Mit Seventh Tree wenden sie sich einem ruhigeren, naturbezogeneren Klangbild zu – ein deutlicher Stilwechsel gegenüber ihren Vorgängeralben. Das Album ist dem Genre „Folktronica“ zuzurechnen, mit Einflüssen aus Ambient, Dream Pop und Downtempo. Die Produktion kombiniert akustische Gitarren, dezente elektronische Klänge, Streichinstrumente und aufgesetzte Vocals – insgesamt eine reduzierte, atmosphärische Ästhetik. Besonders bekannte oder stilprägende Songs sind: „A & E“, die erste Single, mit minimalistischer, doch emotional dichter Instrumentierung und eindrücklicher Textur. „Happiness“, veröffentlicht als zweite Single, mit lebhafterem Tonfall im Vergleich zum Rest des Albums. „Caravan Girl“, der dritte Single‑Track, rhythmischer und eingängiger, der eine Art verspielte Leichtigkeit in die ruhigere Klangwelt bringt. „Clowns“, der Opener, eröffnet mit akustischem Gitarrenspiel, Streichern und engelsgleichen Vocals – stark symbolisch sowie charakteristisch für den neuen Ansatz. Weitere erwähnenswerte Titel wie „Little Bird“, „Some People“ und „Cologne Cerrone Houdini“ prägen das Gesamtbild durch ihre Mischung aus Atmosphäre und kompositorischer Tiefe. Der persönliche Eindruck: Die musikalische Neuausrichtung erscheint konsequent und sorgfältig umgesetzt. Die Songs entfalten sich eher langsam, verlangen Aufmerksamkeit und Geduld. Es entsteht ein harmonisches Ganzes mit metallischen Synthesizerspuren, warmen akustischen Elementen und einem Hauch englischer Surrealistik – ohne dabei aufdringlich zu wirken. In kurzer Bewertung: eine ruhige, stimmungsbetonte Platte, die ihre Wirkung im Moment der Stille entfaltet und einen klaren Kontrast zu den zuvor tanzorientierten Alben der Band darstellt.

A pretty solid album. I liked Happiness a lot. Gets a bit samey though.

Goldfrapp is do dope. This one didn't hit me quite as hard as Felt Mountain, but parts of it have been playing in my head for days. At this point I've listened to it three times, and although it doesn't tilt over to four stars for me, I will say that I love it.

Shades of Kate Bush but in a minimalist electronic style. It’s not massively exciting but it’s pleasant enough.

Solid, not a ton of replayability

I'd heard their earlier stuff and didn't think much about it. This is pretty interesting, and I think it's going in my regular playlist.

It’s ok.. was not really paying much attention but nothing too bad. And overall it’s a pleasant listen. I enjoyed it, very peaceful. I was booking my tickets to Hawaii, and I had never paid so much on flight tickets. But the album gave me the confidence to press confirm……thank you. I’ll try remembering this moment.

road to somewhere was lovely, but by the time I got to Cologne Cerrone Houdini, I was kinda just ready for the album to be over. its some beautiful music, don't get me wrong... but I'm not super big into the 'Enya'-style floaty songs.

The enunciation on the first album had me thinking this album was going to be in another language, but eventually I got used to the vocals and settled in. Great for background music but other than that, not much stood out with this one. It’s a low three, but still better than most of the twos. Not entirely sure what the significance of this album is.

Is this ASMR?

It’s ok I guess, still some reverb and her voice is just great, but not that ethereal cool of other albums

Whispering throughout

Harmless but bland

I really don't think Goldfrapp are a 'two albums on the generator' kinda group - I find their music is usually good but rarely great. And so it is here. Clowns was a very promising opener but after that it drifts a bit - some nice airy textures, but quite lightweight. 2.5

I've not heard of Goldfrapp, but the album cover was enough for me to want to check them out. And since it was newer was also a reason I was more interested in checking them out. Good album IMO, would listen to again. Nice and chill, good to listen to while working.

Enjoyableand relaxed

Really enjoyed this. Ethical, relaxing and not boring.

Sind echt voll schöne Songs drauf

It's cute, but really only a few songs stick out, but the rest is still alright. It's what I imagine a fairy tale forest to sound kinda like

this one is so cute. perfect summer album for sitting inside writing uni papers.

Album started off slowly, but it grew on me.

Really enjoyed this, haven’t heard any other Goldfrapp, but I found this album to be fantastic.

It's Enya on benzos, which I kind of like, but (rather appropriately) I doubt I'll remember ever listening to this. I didn't even realize it was in English until the second track. Whatever - not being into numerology or cereal grains I'm clearly not the target audience for the annoying whimsy of this album. Even so, I thought it was pretty good.

Charming and very listenable. While I can’t always understand the garbled vocals, I enjoyed the sound of this album a lot and will probably come back to a few of these tracks for another listen. ✨

11/07/2025 It was inoffensive, but a bit boring in places.

Álbum muy chill para escuchar tumbado en la cama viendo pasar el tiempo

Cute album. I feel like the "electronic" label is pretty generous since I didn't get much of that out of this but whatever. I'd be curious to listen to more Goldfrapp at some point. Favorite track: Happiness

Nice mellow music. Good for background while you are doing something else.

Lovely. Very strong Minnie Riperton influence

En skikkelig fin plate! En drøss med nydelige låter, og noen helt nydelige melodier. Fantastisk miksa, og helt nydelig å spille høyt. Vokalen gjør det ikke alltid helt for meg, men dette er nok noe jeg kommer til å høre mer på. Beste låt: Little Bird

Syns det var litt kjedelig. Minner litt om Lorde sitt forrige album i sounden.

There are 9 million Goldenfrapp i den første sangen. Var skeptisk, greit underveis, men så var det jo noen gromlåter inni der! Kos og fint, men en del anonyme låter.

This album is super mediocre. Not terrible, I didn't turn the volume down or anything like that. It's just that nothing stood out, nothing was memorable about this album. It had no effect on me whatsoever, I don't care if I ever hear it again.

It's not as good as their other albums, but still enjoyable Happiness is a very good song. High 2s

Was sure they had a hit with something quite rocky, so this was not what I expected. It's just standard, well nothingness really. Only worth a 1 from me.

That was a beautiful surprise! Thought this would be electro-pop but it was much more chilled. Great voice and selection of songs. Only one that induced hitting the skip button. Standout tracks ‘Cologne Cerrone Houdini’ and ‘Little Bird’. A great find thanks to ‘The List!’

This was very different to their first albums, much more mellow. But I do prefer la la la la la la.....

Pleasantly listenable, if a little unexciting. I like her voice. Maybe this might be higher than a three on repeated listens. I think I liked Happiness best.

HORRIVEL

Van die outro muziek voor zo'n slappe early 2010s romcom. Dat kan met tijden best vermakelijk zijn, maar niet vandaag voor mij.

Begint vrij rustig. Prettige stem om naar te luisteren, interessant dromerig geluid maar daardoor schiet er een nummer voor mij er niet écht uit.

Afgezet.

Kende dit van naam, maar nooit bewust iets van geluisterd. Onverwacht heel nice. In de discussie "is zang een instrument of niet?": waar Bob Dylan en Johnny Cash mij meer naar "nee" doen neigen, is de zangeres van Goldfrapp voor mij een bewijs dat het antwoord "ja" is. Heel vet hoe dynamisch zang wordt ingezet door soms half in de mix te verdwijnen en daarna in de voorgrond te komen. Ook los van de zang zijn het allemaal solid nummers waar een aantal van een plek ik mijn playlistjes hebben bemachtigd. Extra ster voor de verrassingsfactor

Bin unschlüssig öb Ichs toll gfunde han wills mal wider chli was moderners gsi isch oder öbs mer doch wider zu niedlich gsi isch. 2, 3 Lieder hani sehr schön gfunde, andere 2, 3 doch fast scho nervig. De wiederhör Faktor isch verschwindend chli wieso das es doch nur zwei Erdbeeren Frappés git

Sixteen bushes by Silverclapp Isch mir scho gar popig gsiund leider ohni die youth throwback memories, wo villicht e kelly clarkson, anadtacia oder natasha bedingfield chönt kreiiere. Aber vlt lids au dra dassi dir dame nöd kenn. Naja, hed mi nöd abgholt und boring Two tree by goldfrapp

herzig nonie devo ghört, nonie öpper kännt wo irgendöppis vo goldfrapp verzellt hed – nöd mal annähernd aber herzig isch sie echt wüki en piratin? und wieso luegt sie mich so schockiert ah? oh well, da springi 3 mal vo de planke will's bim erste mal so spass gmacht hed

7/10 I know and enjoy their electronic stuff but had no idea this folky pop album existed. Very nice, good vibes. Kind of washes over you a little, doesn’t always set the pulse racing, so not a full 5. Best: Caravan Girl

Ethereal vaguely pagan folk music for Horse Girls, by a Horse Girl*. Beautiful strings and soaring vocals, but lyrically doesn't leave much of an impression. *Will Gregory's opinions on horses are undocumented.

Decidedly not for me, but it’s probably for somebody!

Pleasant wallpaper music

inoffensive, fine. but not interesting to me

It was weird, but this grew on me.

It's pretty but a little boring.

Standouts Happiness

Beautiful voice!

background jazz, nothing more really but quite good still

Surprisingly enjoyable. I was not familiar with them at all.

A whole alb of meh … with a side of no thanks

Soft and nice. Feels very British and like a movie soundtrack

Sounds like something I would like but I don’t. Kind of boring I guess.

Synth and drum machine based dreamy whimsical psychedelia with acoustic guitars, cellos, flutes and other organic instruments added to the mix to bring a natural sound for the nature theme. The main musical aspiration is creating ambience and modulating mood, layering shifting textures harmonies and effects to maintain a pleasant woozy vibe to float around on melodically. Extremely coffee shop coded electrofolk, this is from just before the Spotify driven rise of ambient playlist indie neo-muzak, but really anticipates the core of that style: breathy vocals, washed out synths, gentle acoustics, sleepy tempos, mellow unobtrusive calming vibes.

As far as floaty marshmallow princess indie goes this is exactly middle of the road. Not quirky enough to be Regina Spektor, not heavy enough to be St Vincent. I remember enjoying myself, but I can't remember a single song. Lyrics to Clown go hard tho.

This one didn't do much for me. Lots of soft vocals and mellow moods, but I never felt hooked. I liked some of what happened musically on "Little Bird" and"Monster Love ."

Another perfectly fine album that seems like an odd inclusion in this list. Since there are better Goldfrapp albums, does that mean you need to hear MULTIPLE Goldfrapp albums before you die? That's hard to co-sign. Anyway, three stars.

I'm sure this album means something to someone. Not me

Interesting. Slow low vibe.

Clowns 2.4 Little Bird 2.8 Happiness 2.7 Road to Somewhere 2.3 Eat Yourself 2.3 Some People 2.4 A&E 2.2 Cologne Cerrone Houdini 2.4 Caravan Girl 2.3 Monster Love 2.3 Score: 2.41

I wasn’t that taken with this one. I like a fair bit of Goldfrapp’s work, so was looking forward to it, but found it a bit less striking and a bit more generic than expected.

Frekar þægileg plata. Vel hægt að vinna við þetta. Engar svakalegar hæðir samt sem áður, en ekkert slæmt lag heldur.

Allt í lagi, engar flugeldasýningar. Fín vinnutónlist.

Interesting, but didn’t blow me away.

I had only vaguely heard of this band... what a shame. I really enjoyed this atmospheric album. The singer has a beautiful, interesting voice (this carries the album really) and the album is soothing. Instrumentation is simple but effective.

Hard to get through, had to do it in multiple sittings. still think its decent, but yeah, harder.

I gotta say, I did not expect such a layered, complex record from the group that was responsible for providing the soundtrack to every dance club scene in 2000s movies.

With its gorgeous strings and acoustic warmth, Seventh Tree achieves a daydream-like quality that momentarily captivates but doesn't necessarily resonate.

Honestly a major snooze; whole thing sounds the same that it's difficult to differentiate the songs. It's not bad, just predictable. 5/10.

I like this style of synthy sung music. I find it relaxing. This is a pretty great piece of that genre.

This was a nice listen. A bit more edge or a bit more instrumental substance would've been better for me, but I get the appeal. Perfectly good quiet background music for a perfectly good quiet background day.

I don't know if the second half of any of these songs are good because I didn't make it through any of them. This sounds like music produced in the 60's/70's about what music would sound like in the future. Found it thoroughly unenjoyable.

Was expecting discoy electro indie from goldfrapp but this was much more laid back and folky. Quite liked it and recognised a couple of the singles but wasn't hooked enough to go back to it I think.

Quite a nice album, definitely not what I expected. Mood music. Clowns and A&E stood out the most, but the rest did kind of blend together. I think more distinction between the tracks was needed - I didn't enjoy the songs per se, I enjoyed different fragments.

Fine, but not that exciting. Recognised a couple o tracks. A&E was my favourite. Not much more to add, doubt I'll be back. Not really my thing but not at all bad

Thoughts before listening: 00s era indie pop I believe. I remember Goldfrapp making a lot of critics lists at the time, but I never had any interest. Review: This was a nice surprise. Well written pop songs that lean more on folk and rock sounds than dancey beats. Not typically the type of a sound that draws me in, but for some reason this is working for me. Favorite songs are "Little Bird", 'Houdini", and "Caravan Girl". 3-stars

Not my vibe but it’s cool and relaxing

Really surprised. I liked this a lot

Awful lol

Sounds like a lullabye version of Kate Bush in the 1980s. Hard to believe this was made in the 21st century and for some reason determined to be noteworthy. Would be a sweet little album to fall asleep to.

Again, never heard of this artist. It was a weird adult pop / easy listening vibe that didn’t appeal to me at all.

not bad. admittedly i was distracted/working but its listenable without being very standout/memorable

Meh. Not offensively bad but not very enjoyable imo

Toca hoy martes volver a esta banda que escuché hace tiempo. Álbum sexi, colgado, que también lo pienso para una cita. ¿Serán las ganas de volver al cortejo? La voz de Alison tiene sutilezas a la de Madonna (un ejemplo es A&E): atrapante, sensual. Es inevitable sentirse cautivado con ella con canciones como "Cologne Cerrone Houdini". Gracias por el recuerdo de éste discazo, excelente de principio a fin. Hasta mañana

Pleasant, if a little sleepy. I doubt I'll ever listen to this album again.

3 - pretty good. Reminded me of Elo at points

I really like Felt Mountain, but this one not so much. Favourite track: Cologne Cerrone Houndini.

Ok. Samey.

There is no soul to this music. Very forgettable. Just play it in the background and never bring it up.

I did like the lyrics and vocals on this one but otherwise there wasn’t really any one song that stood out to me on the album.

Chill vibe but not enough to stick with me. She wears a cool hat in the album cover though

Beautiful

Much like their first album, this is nice, and I think there’s a place for this music. I’m just so rarely in the headspace for this airy dreamy music. Especially when it isn’t really innovative in its soundscape.

A pleasant if entirely unnecessary entry on the list.

Not really familiar with her and wasn't sure what to expect. I was very pleasantly surprised. Really liked this. Good songwriting with a somewhat ethereal sound. The last two songs -- Caravan Girl and Monster Love -- were the standouts.

Never heard of this duo before but this was really good! Sounds very 60s influenced but modern in production. I’d listen again for sure to form a stronger opinion.

I got this album and was like "yeah! Goldfrapp rules!" though I haven't listened to them in close to 20 years and had never heard this album. Turns out they had really lost their punch by they time they got to this one. Had to go back and listen to some of their hits from previous albums and they were damn good then. This album was just kinda slow and boring.

Never heard it before, and no stand out tracks. But I like it, and won't mind listening again.

Mostly pleasant but unremarkable.

Nice puffy shirt but i don't wanna be a pirate

This would not be my first choice of a Goldfrapp album to include on this list. This one is warm and folksy overall without the strong dance sound of other albums. It is a fine album. But not as inventive or overall as interesting as some of the others.

It was ok

Beautiful music that i enjoy! But dont know how much i will revist.

cool

2.5

Dreamy, inoffensive music that drifts from one song to the other. Not unpleasant, but sometimes you forget it's even on.

3.5/5

Cool

I really like Goldfrapp, it's creative and chill and I like the energy. I just wish she was easier to understand. Rating: 4

I liked it, she had a nice haunting voice and it was different but enjoyable

I was feeling pretty rundown and just needed a chill album i could lay in bed and turn out the lights to. This album fit just right for that. I liked the songwriting. They do a great job at shaping and building some interesting songs with cool rises, swells, and melodic twists. Vocals were great. Strong melodies with nice layers of harmonies & lots of trippy sounds bubbling around. Highly transportive vibes. I think this album cleansed my chi.

This album felt like a throwback to sunny pop from the 60’s and 70’s. I enjoyed this record immensely.

Sometimes I really like an album and it’s hard to articulate exactly why. This was one of those. It just felt real and heartfelt and lovely.

I really liked this

Damn, now I know what "folktronica" sounds like, I guess.

Immaculate vibes throughout this album. The smooth singing, the range of instruments in different songs. It feels perfect having playing on a lazy warm day. The band is totally new for me but definitely something I will listen to again.

Not the worst but did not tickle my ear bones much

An album. Listenable.

When I started this album, it felt like a nice and relaxing album, but to a fault. The vocals were neat and airy while the music itself was calming. However, I felt it was going to just stay stagnant for the whole duration and the whole album would be one-note and bland. However, as the album went on, it started to click with me. It felt less boring as more of the electronic and pop elements snuck in. By the time Caravan Girl came on (amazing song by the way), I was pretty much sold. I wouldn’t say that it blew me away and left me awestruck, but it rose past my low expectations. Chill, but not aggressively mellow. I dig it. Favorite track: Caravan Girl Other hits: Happiness, Road to Somewhere, A&E, Cologne Cerrone Houdini, Some People

I like the genre in which Goldfrapp play. That's why I was familiar with the band's name. However, I also remember finding the music rather boring and uninteresting. So now an album by the band that has been ennobled by its position on the list. I don't realise why. I listened to the cloying and extremely boring crap for quite a while and ultimately didn't get through the whole album. The music was always on the verge of getting on my nerves. 2/5

This reminds me of something I would’ve listened to in 2008 trying to listen to anything and everything to figure out what I liked. Now, not so much.

T vibes von dem Albom send eigentlech go guet, each fends eifach chli sehr Monoton. Trotz zwöi mol lose wär ke einzige Song usegstoche. Mer cha sie jo chum vonenand oderscheide. För de Hendergrond imne Lade passt's, aber halt nüd för mech.

Like a bit of Goldfrapp. Not spectacular- but a good listen.

So far this is my least favorite album of Goldfrapp. I am not digging the folk influence. Feels too incomplete to me. Like unfinished demos. I prefer when they put the polish and sheen on. This is one of their most boring releases. Music for coma patients. The only bearable songs are "A&E" and "Caravan Girl". Their best albums are SUPERNATURE and HEAD FIRST, neither of which are on this list, and not this one or FELT MOUNTAIN.

Just don't bother
