way too much cymbal/etc. in the drums for me

man this style of vocals just doesn't work for me

A mixed bag - some I liked, some too much noise, and often I didn't like the lyrical content at all

3.5

I liked a lot of the instrumental parts, but the vocals were hit-or-miss at best, and I really disliked the lyrics

3.5. Grew on me as it went. Overly repetitive in its textures, and I especially didn't care for the sax. But the ones that were less repetitive were really pretty good.

These vocals are too funny to give it one star.

There were a couple tracks in the middle I liked, but most of this was just "fine".

Generally too samey in its high-energy-ness, but I might enjoy some of these tracks more in a studio recording.

I really wish the lyrics were better.

Well, I at least liked Greensleeves

Any individual track I enjoyed a fair amount, but by the end they mostly just sounded the same. Which I suppose is more an issue with the genre than anything else, but all the same it limited my enjoyment.

I really enjoyed the first half, but the end was weaker for me.

vaguely funky background music that is fine but not engaging

Definitely liked this more than I thought I would

Surprisingly enjoyable for basically easy listening jazz

This almost seems like something I should like, but it just never got there - too polished, I guess?

A reminder that I just am not a jazz person

A few good tracks, and a lot that's just fine to listen to.

This feels like it should have been something I liked, but somehow it was just... meh

3.5 - Generally a fun sound, fairly consistent quality, but no real stand-out tracks to me (except Got the Beat which is easily my least favorite - and the only one I'd heard before) and occasionally the lyrics detract.

2.5 - only really liked the singing

3.5

I can't say that this was good, but surprisingly pleasant as background noise, which is more than I like most rap music.

3.5 - enjoyable, but a bit too easy listening

I recognize why this is significant, but there's just so much that it becomes a blur without any real landmarks

I enjoyed this for a while, but by the end of a full album of it it just kind of sounded like I was underwater. 3.5, probably 4 if only listening to a few at a time.

2.5
