Disintegration
The Cure
first album lets go!!!
start of the album is very chill and mellow - pictures of you is such a delightful song, it feels meaty (vocals are beaut) and properly down to earth - really really nice
loving the buildup of drums and synth in closedown
as someone whos listened to basically only the cures best hits, this is great.
lovesong is already a song i loveee, you make me feel like i am whole again.
AAH oops i deleted half the review
i think i said i love rain sounds at the start and end of one of the songs, along with it feeling a bit bland up until song 7/8 as it felt repetative.
adoring disintegration as a song though, its quite fun, the vocals feel like the singer is almost pleading to be heard, ive not really listened to the lyrics but the vibe is vv good.
i cant pick out any songs that really stand out to me because there seems to be a single constant vibe, but its a good vibe!! i did enjoy it. no negative comments, but also no overwhelmingly positive ones

I Should Coco
Supergrass
nothing wrong with this album either, quite alot like the last one. a bit more groovy so i enjoyed it slightly more, but its not significantly "better"
the end of the album is certainly better than the start, at least more engaging for me, from were not supposed to onward are some really fun songs.
Sofa is a really great track, same with were not supposed to.
the outro song is brill. made from a 3 to a 4 for me, will listen again.

beautiful opening, love bossa nova, this first song made me go hm yes this is staying in the library!!
im vibing to this first track very hard, so solid
its very soothing, id go to sleep with this album playing... very much a study album or somthing id have in the background, makes me feel like im at a coffee shop or somthing!!!
fun, but not great!

Parallel Lines
Blondie
catchy, decent music, gets you moving
nothing wrong with it, im enjoying listening to it, i dont actively want to skip any songs, but i also dont wish anything was longer..
i do keep getting that "oh! this classic! i like this song!" but other than that, i dont feel anything special about this album, its good, dont get me wrong, but nothings grabbed me.. YET!
okay nevermind, didnt get GREAT.. nothing wrong, nothing id reccomend to anyone.

Surfer Rosa
Pixies
starting this ablum, im remembering that i dont love pixies, they have some bangers but the full on rock vibes arent great, skipped through a song or two at the beginning.
not super my thing i cant lie, skipping through most of the songs
fun bassline on gigantic
from gigantic i am enjoying this album more, the music is slower paced and a bit more interesting, less "rockrock" and a bit more laid back.
where is my mind? is an aboslute classic though, i cant fault this song, love playing it, love listening to it.
i think theres a few songs in there, from gigantic to like tonys theme that are a bit more fun.
had to stop the album early, skipping songs, not a fan but theres some goodies in there.

Blood And Chocolate
Elvis Costello & The Attractions
start of the album was shit, skipped a song, it was very boring and meh. i dont think this guy is my thing at all.
i didnt love i want you, but it was more interesting than the other songs.
are you straight or are you blind is a weird one - stranglers esc, not terrible.
i dont think rock is my thing genuinely. or maybe this shit is basic as all hell and boring.
blue chair is more fun, growing on me a bit.
overall, very mid album, litterally almost nothing interesting.

My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy
Kanye West
better than i thought itd be at the start? i started to enjoy it with whoever was on those female vocals, seccond song with what i assume is kanyes vocals seems less fun, but its fine.
song 3 - kinda hard to listen to, i tend to like hip hop but this is a bit rough, way less good than i expected seeing the reviews.. 5? really? i dont see that yet.
song 5 - its fine, i feel like it gets better whenever kanye isnt singing but when he comes back it gets mid again, bit of an issue that is.
wtf is monster this intro is ass - this album is so shit lmfao i undestand the beats are fun, but this is really not for me wtf this is so uncanny - AGAIN kanye shuts the fuck up and the music gets better - get it niki fucking get it HAHA
maybe i just hate men idk these vocals are just not hitting it for me
im so appalled by song 7
look at me im funny PLEASE this album is shitty
intro to song 8 is fun okay okay icu
runaway is a bit of a banger, heard it before, but its nothing like the rest of the album and its sill a bit mid
its fine i guess, nothing ill listen to again.

god the LAYERS on the song "fetch the bolt cutters" are so fun, suuuper enjoyable?!?!
halfway through - i feel like i could love this album, but so far theres somthing missing? its been really really beautiful in parts but its not a 5... yet!
oh weird shes 47, i went into this thinking it was a 20 somthings first/seccond album lol
NEVEERMIND i think shes perfected this idea of a "20 somthings first/seccond album" its like
okay
i said this to my friend im pasting the converstaion;
[20/11/2024, 8:15:21 pm] Addie Norton: so far halfway through this album

[20/11/2024, 8:15:40 pm] Addie Norton: and it does that
[20/11/2024, 8:15:41 pm] Addie Norton: wonderfully
[20/11/2024, 8:15:58 pm] Addie Norton: but agh i cannot sit here and be told that shes 47 😭
[20/11/2024, 8:16:23 pm] Addie Norton: like the lyrics feel too immature for that in a way, i feel like she could take what shes doing and make somthing really interesting
[20/11/2024, 8:16:35 pm] Addie Norton: but shes talking about issues I still have
[20/11/2024, 8:16:37 pm] Addie Norton: and i dont know
[20/11/2024, 8:16:40 pm] Addie Norton: if i should love her
[20/11/2024, 8:16:42 pm] Addie Norton: and relate to her
[20/11/2024, 8:16:44 pm] Addie Norton: and adore her
[20/11/2024, 8:17:01 pm] Addie Norton: but for some reason my gut instinct is resent for some silly reason
[20/11/2024, 8:17:16 pm] Addie Norton: MY rating on song 8/13 currently is a 4/5
[20/11/2024, 8:17:26 pm] Addie Norton: it just dosnt have that thing that makes me adore it yet
[20/11/2024, 8:17:27 pm] Addie Norton: YET

[20/11/2024, 8:19:00 pm] Addie Norton: she has a very pretty voice but its also like
[20/11/2024, 8:19:05 pm] Addie Norton: raspy when she pushes it
[20/11/2024, 8:19:10 pm] Addie Norton: and it gives it a little tingle i like
[20/11/2024, 8:19:22 pm] Addie Norton: her screaming LADIES LADIES LADIES is really satisfying
[20/11/2024, 8:22:48 pm] CATHERINNNE awesomeface: Yes
[20/11/2024, 8:22:51 pm] CATHERINNNE awesomeface: Yes

[20/11/2024, 8:23:54 pm] Addie Norton: i need to hear this live
[20/11/2024, 8:23:55 pm] Addie Norton: HAHA
[20/11/2024, 8:23:57 pm] Addie Norton: is all i think
in short, now im coming towards the end of this album. its solid. its so solid.
you feel the pain and emotion in her voice, you want to cry with her, you feel it with her, cosmonauts has just brung this to a 5/5 album. fucking hell. its not even over.
this idea that other people are talking about it being a row of f bombs and a dump on the system? i doing see that, i dont notice that, to me this is a woman talking about her issues, i dont know who she is, as her first album for me, i liked it.
i think it had a peak at cosmonauts, but that was a good album. thanks. ALSO THE PRECUSSION IS SO FUN!! raw, emotional, fun.
