If never heard this group before. It's good! That dude's voice is a bit of a mismatch with the style? Maybe? I don't know. But I liked this.

The quality of recording on this is shocking. The instruments pop out of the speakers, perfectly separated and clear as day. 10/10 for recording, mixing, and mastering. Sadly that is where my compliments end. The songwriting is fine I suppose for this genre. But these songs are just not good. Almost like they are trying to be weird, but afraid to commit. It's just boring and bad from the songwriting perspective. (For me)

As far as pop goes, this is repetitive crap. There's nothing wrong with pop, or repetitive edm! But this is just a bore.

This is better than most of the new wave on the actual list. But it's just so hollow sounding. It's just too crisp. The vocals are too far forward in the mix. It's not not bad but there is no real difference in time between the tones song to song.

Good. Not great. I need more variation. But I generally think this has some tracks I'll listen to more.

I always thought Paramore was just okay. I looked their previous record Riot! More than this one though this one does have the stone in it from Twilight, which despite being a shit movie, had a weirdly banging soundtrack.

Boring. Forgettable. Just generally not good.

Suuuuper unexpectedly good. A little dated, this sounds very of it's era but this record is really good.

I never gave this band my attention when they first hit. I didn't even know the name of the album or this cover until today. But holy hell there are some real bangers on this record. And I knew it's hits really well. This must have been one of the last radio toppers before I stopped consuming music that way. Super happy I came across this thing.

I get why this is culturally relevant. But this is not a good album.

Every song here sounds the same. And that sound is boredom.

Good. But VERY repetitive. Most of the songs sound very similar.

I love all the bleeps and bloops in this. But none of these songs go anywhere.

This was rougher than I'd hoped. When it hits, it hits. But holy hell. I NEEDED a little more melody. Just a LITTLE bit.

This record is just too long. It's the only problem with it really.

This veered to far into ska for me. Which is one of few music genres I can't stand. This was fine though.

I like King Gizzard in small doses. This album is good.

Fuck. Yes.

Music for people who think they are into music. This is shitty soft rock trying to pretend it's prog. I'm not falling for it. And in what fucking world is it okay for this to be an hour and forty minutes.

This would have benefitted from a whole band. It's to monotonous with just the guitar and voice

Old School hip hop made just a little too late? Yes please!

This is a let down. It's bloated with no definition. The music is boring and the story is so Boomer it's embarrassing. This shouldn't exist.

Punk sounded the way it did because it was the best they could sound at the time. In 2008, anyone could sound better than this. So this is intentional. I like lo-fi. And I love shoegazy alternative. But this isn't lo-fi, it's being annoying on purpose. I made it through all 30 minutes. It's possible there may be something of value here, but I can't hear it. But I suspect the distortion is hiding a lack of songwriting skill. My suspicions were confirmed at the end of "end of all things" when they drop the distortion for a bit. The songs themselves aren't good. The distortion is converting up poor songs.

I dug this but wanted more up tempo tracks. The audio quality of this recording is really high as well.

I wanted to like this soooo hard. But it just didn't flow. I like the tones and the attitude. But it just feel short for me.

I was at a National concert like 15 years ago and Owen was the opener. He played "E is for Estranged" at that show which I maintain is one of the best songs ever written. I like a lot of Owen Pallett. IMHO, he is on the good side of indie. The side that isn't tired, all sounding the same. This record is pretty good. Owen is great

This was really fun. Is never heard of them before. And yeah, it does sound like early Genesis. But that's okay. This want derivative. It felt fresh.

Lyrics were great. But the arrangements needed more IMHO. I need more than just some chords on a guitar.

Is it word that Screeching Weasel want in the book? They aren't my favorite, but they are culturally relevant. They should be in there

Never heard of this group before. The first 30 seconds had me worried it was going to be intentionally annoying. Then it got good. Hella good. It's very early 2000s but holy hell. This record is great!

One of the most forgettable albums by one of the most forgettable bands. It's not bad. But I think I forgot about it while it was still on.

Thank god that is over. Woof.
