Very cheery-sounding, almost to the point of cheesiness (and the saxophone doesn't help that, IMO). A few songs in a minor key could have done a lot to even out the overall sound. Still, I liked the vocal harmonies and some of the baselines. Lots of familiar songs on this album since my parents listened to this one all the time when I was growing up.

Loved the jazzy chords mixed in with rock elements like electric guitar and drums. I missed vocals somewhat, but it's also refreshing to listen to something designed without them, too. Very happy to have learned about this one.
Lame and forgettable. In fact, I don't remember any songs between the first (which I know from the radio) and the last (which was 6 minutes long and actually different from the rest).
Super repetitive and boring. Not enjoyable
Interesting but ultimately not something I would seek out to listen to in the future.
Hard to get into, mostly boring. Some interesting ideas in there.
Enjoyed it, reminded me a lot of the Beatles, which makes sense since they're from a similar same place and time.
Instrumentation was nice, but the vocals were bad.
Pretty good overall. I much preferred the songs where she didn't try to sing in English since the ones in English were simplistic and hard to understand.
Meh
Enjoyed it, despite the edgy 11-year-old style metal lyrics ("awoo I'm a werewolf lol"). The vocals were better than I expected.
Super boring, even as someone who doesn't mind a cappella and grew up hearing Graceland all the time. All the songs sounded the same to me.
Loved it. I'm not very familiar with country, so a lot of this album reminded me a lot of CAKE, which may have been influenced by it. This is the kind of gems I was hoping to find on this list.
Enjoyed it. To my ear, it reminds me of Christmas since a lot of radio Christmas songs are of a similar era, and of Hawaii. It's also cool to hear rock and roll that's still so closely related to blues and jazz.
It didn't capture my attention at all. Useful as background music, but nothing else for me.
Very boring, every song sounded the same. His voice is nice, but not the songs he sang.
Boring. Didn't finish the album.
Enjoyed it. I liked the songs that were a little harder rock than what made them most famous.
Pretty good, but I thought the best song was the only one I already knew. Unfortunately the rest of the album isn't much like that song.
Enjoyable. Some of the lyrics seemed a bit contrived, crammed in where they don't really fit.
Good instrumentals, bad vocals, including the style and the dumb lyrics.
Boring.
It's nice but doesn't keep my attention.
I generally like Radiohead, but some of his albums don't engage me as much as others. This is one of the less engaging ones. Only one song stood out to me as memorable.
Weird but ultimately not interesting.
Some fun stuff in there, but I got bored of the repetition.
I liked the last two songs, and some parts of others. But it didn't captivate me before then.
Boring.
Didn't care for it. Sounded like background music made for commercials to me.
I can't even remember it now, and it's been fewer than 24 hours.
Enjoyed it somewhat. Reminded me of 90s N64 games.
As expected this is a 5. Creative, every song sounds different. Vocal harmonies and instrumentals are great.
Interesting, creative, but sometimes a bit too wacky. Liked it overall.
Some interesting stuff, but overall not something I'd seek out again.
Liked it a lot. I'd only heard Criminal, which I still think is the best track, but a lot of them were great.
Boring and noisy.
A little bit slow, but I definitely enjoyed it.
Enjoyed every song.
The opposite of most on this list, this album has a confident, talented vocalist with lackluster instrumentation behind her. This is still too close to the early '90s smooth pop for me to enjoy much.
Fun music, but the vocals left a lot to be desired; they were pretty repetitive. The bass does a lot of the work making this album interesting.
They're just excellent. Great songwriting and two exceptional vocalists.
Didn't like a lot of the songs, but there were some I enjoyed. The vocals aren't great, though.
Horrible vocals.
I've never liked this kind of Christmas music.
