Different, but not terrible. Not really what I'm into but I can see the appeal. Like a love child of classical music and metal
Trip hop adjacent. I really enjoyed it. I feel like I've heard these guys before and liked it.
On paper, this kind of band sounds kike something I'd really enjoy, but in reality I felt like it missed the mark. I think another review said it perfectly that they're like a off brand Viagra Boys. They had the right vibe and there were a couple of good songs, but overall it felt like a letdown.
Very different from what I normally listen to, but still kind of enjoyable. A little slow, but still up beat. Not my absolute jam, but there was still parts to enjoy.
Meh....
I'm not the biggest fan as I find this kind of music a little boring. It's fine and I'm sure plenty of people love it, but it just kind of drags on and on. The only highlight for me was "Back to Oz" but I think that's about it. I don't really see why this is needed when there is already a few Sufjan Stevens albums on the list.
Way more upbeat then the last few albums I've gotten. Seems like a pretty straightforward country album from the late 90's. I know Shania was a big influence for a lot of women in country and she made a big impact on that.
Overall the album was fine. I'm not a big country fan, but this one wasn't offensive.
Really enjoyed this. Great lyrics and beats. I feel like I've heard this before or something very similar. Either way I'll have to check out more from this group.
I was excited to listen to this one as I've heard the hits and enjoy The Weeknd. Overall it was good, but felt like it could have been edited down a little bit. Some of the songs felt the same. It was enjoyable and I love all the synth/80's vibes.
I feel like this album would have been more impactful if I wasn't at work and I was on "a different wavelength". It was interesting and not necessarily what I would prefer to listen to as I'm more of a psychedelic rock person, not so much a folk person. I can see why people would enjoy it and might give it another go at some point.
Absolutely amazing album! Can't believe this wasn't on the original list. Definitely an album I can listen to start to finish over and over again. The mixing, the sound quality, the production value is all just amazing. No notes, just perfection.
This album seems to be filled with some highs and lows. There's parts of it that I'm enjoying, then there are parts where I look to see how many more songs till we're done. Feels a little all over the place, maybe lacking a common theme or point of view. It's not bad, but I'm about halfway through and starting to loose steam.
Not bad. There were songs that really worked for me and then there were a few that just didn't. Their sound is very Americana in a Bruce Springsteen, Gaslight Anthem, Ryan Adams way, which is different considering they're Australian. The orchestral vibe is kinda hit and miss for me, maybe it's just not my thing. Overall not a bad album, but nothing I'd feel like coming back to and diving deeper into their back catalogue.
Always enjoyed Massive Attack and this album was no different. Great sound and overall really enjoyable listen.
Really liked this one. Not metal hard, but solid hard rock with a bit of a bluesy hint. Very retro 80/90 sound but still modern. I like it and I'm glad to discover them!
You know what, I actually really enjoyed this. I thought it was going to be another drawn out singer/songwriter/folk album, but this was camp. It was like listening to Rocky Horror and Meatloaf. Enjoyable and refreshing!
Yawn...... This album is the decaf soy latte of music. It's there and I'm sure it serves a purpose for someone, but good lord it's not for me.
It just doesn't go anywhere! Even the person who submitted this album admits that the back half is forgettable. I'm glad this genre of music had its moment and I'm even more glad that that moment has passed.
Great album! Such a good follow up from their first album. I've enjoyed Garbage for years and it was nice to re-visit this one.
I loved this album! I first discovered Turnstile earlier this year when their latest album came out and I instantly loved them. The actually became my top group from last year.
This album was a departure from their more hardcore sound, but still had that same hardcore energy. The whole album is short and to the point. It all feels like it belongs. I also love how it's not at a 10 the whole time, there were peaks and valleys though the whole thing. So enjoyable, I can listen to it over and over.
Well that was a wild ride! This is so much at times, but also kind of appreciate what it was. It was like psychedelic circus music mixed with prog rock. You can hear Zappa influence with little hints of Les Claypool. Am I glad I heard it and can appreciate it for what it is? Absolutely. Is this something that I'll put on regular rotation? Probably not. Should I give it another go to really appreciate it? Yeah, I should.
Overall, I'm glad I listened and powered through. I can appreciate it for what it is and glad I discovered it!
