Birth Of The Cool
Miles DavisFine, but better appreciated by someone else, I’m sure.
Fine, but better appreciated by someone else, I’m sure.
Again no idea what is going on.
Felt very classic rock. Didn’t hate it, didn’t love it. Enjoyable, but not particularly awe-inspiring.
There is funk. There is cheese. I’m sure some people love it. I don’t.
Almost fell asleep.
Less sad and more whiny.
I feel like I’m supposed to like this more than I do.
20 minutes is too long.
Didn’t hate it, but did immediately forget every song.
Soothing.
Not boring, at least. Felt like 10 different albums in one.
Fine, but forgettable.
Not soothing during a time of crisis. Otherwise good.
Thought I would like this more than I did.
I have no notes.
This sparked joy.
Enjoyable, but not remarkable.
Feels like background music at a restaurant where I am not really enjoying the food.
Lots of nostalgic bangers on this one.
Thoroughly enjoyable.
Might have been a four but “Voices of Old People” perplexed me.
Would've been a 3-star album if not for the terrifying laughter in the first track.
Hysterical.
What a bop.
Very enjoyable, but not my vibe.
Each song was good but too long.
Very good at lulling me to sleep.
Fine.
Why are they eating cold potatoes? Why is this the only thing I remember about this album?
Very nearly lulled me to sleep on the bus.
Actually really appeals to me. I can't believe I took so long to listen to this, haha.
I mean, yeah? I can see why they were so popular, I guess.
I’d kind of forgotten that I like the Foo Fighters. This was a lovely reminder.
Why were some of these songs so long?
Sounds like something I would’ve pretended to like as a teen to piss off my mum.
Not as good as I was expecting.
Honestly a delightful discovery. Absolutely bonin’.
Fine, but better appreciated by someone else, I’m sure.
Plus one star because I’m sure Eloïse will hate it.
I need to know more about Lola’s violent past.
Actually very enjoyable. Somehow surprised.
All this taught me is that I don’t actually know The Beatles. At all.
Is it 4-stars because it’s a banger or because all the other albums recently have been mid? I’ll never know.
A good mix of sad and boppy.
I have spent my whole life thinking that I like Sinead O’Connor, but apparently I don’t.
I saw the album cover and was expecting perfection. Alas.
I don’t know what I was expecting, but this exceeded it.
Exceptional.
It’s hard to deny an album which has contributed so much to excellent karaoke nights.
I can’t believe she left either. What a banger
Loved it until we got to the packets. Which makes me feel like I missed the point.
Fine.
A real mixed bag for me. Some absolute bops and then some songs that just... I guess that just aren't for me? Wouldn't listen to the whole thing again.
Actually better than expected.
Very enjoyable but not memorable.
1-star any other time of year.
Kinda groovy? Inoffensive.
Honestly don’t know why I never listen to this album.
New to me. Fine, but kinda boring?
I have questions, but I’m not that mad about it.
Bonus points for being a short album.
Absolute vibe.
Literally perfect what the heck.
Fine.
Nostalgic.
Not incredible.
Absolutely not.
Honestly, more enjoyable than I was expecting, but not for me.
Groovy yet somehow kind of boring?
Catchy AND snappy. My favourite kind of album.
I thought I’d recognise these songs but I did not.
Cecelia girlie when will you come home?!
Yes, Mr Mojo. Go off.
The more I listen to these recommendations the more I wonder if I just don’t like music.
Better than expected!
It was good, but knowing that Eloïse hated it made it great.
Probably actually 4-stars, but didn't hit as much as I thought it would.
Decidedly uninspiring.
We love Neil.
I don’t know what I did to deserve this.
Mostly fine, but I did nearly fall asleep at my desk. Possibly not the album’s fault, but life’s not always fair.
Not for me.
I don’t think I’d ever listened to the lyrics until this moment.
Enjoyable.
I have no doubt that this is very popular but it is not for me.
Kinda boring, no?
I swear I do like Beyoncé…but I feel like she has way better albums? This wouldn’t have been my pick.
Additional star for being Kiwi.
Did I enjoy or this or have I just have a bad run of albums recently? I may never know.
Some classics and some drags.
Literally no idea what’s going on.
Fine, but forgettable.
Probably fine. I was not in the mood.
Thoroughly enjoyable.
Okay. Got me through a tough run. Probably will not listen again.
Fine in the background when struggling to wrangle an Excel sheet. Otherwise uninteresting.
Fine.
Is it relaxing or just boring?
I was uninspired.
Feels like I should’ve been in a different state of mind.
Actually great.
Thought I’d be more into it than I am.
Again no idea what is going on.
They sound like they’re going on an adventure.
More and more enjoyable as it went on.
Nty.
Just very pleasant and enjoyable.
Kind of a bop. I was shocked too.
Honestly, just found this very relaxing. But I will probably never listen to it again.
No notes.
Truly not for me.
Not for me.
Not for me.
Fine, but kind of boring. Didn’t even realise when I’d finished the album.
Very soothing. Enjoyed “I Don’t Want to Talk About It” a lot.
Just fine.
Very relaxing.
Actually very enjoyable.
