Wanted to hate it. I just don’t

My initial reaction was “uuuugghh no thank you” but honestly, embarrassingly liked it. Catchy and sweet

Can’t. Was open to it but just can’t. It was annoying.

Well that was fun and quirky

It was fine. Something I might play in the kitchen while cooking to zone out to. Otherwise no real pull to listen to again.

It was ok. Wanted to get into it, forgettable.

I started listening to this album on my way to work at 5am and I thought it was annoying. Driving home from work…I loved it! Either the songs got better as the album progressed or I’m really not a morning person.

Damn. I really thought I would hate this. I kept finding myself turning the volume in my car louder and louder. Raw and not super polished but I loved that about it.

Ok, so here’s my problem with Pearl Jam… 1.I had never consciously listened to them but if you played a song I would have probably guessed that’s who it is. Half the album are overplayed hits. I was most into the songs I had never heard before. 2. I have this preconceived notion of who a “pearl jam fan” is and it’s a crusty older dude who is wearing vans, past his prime, and waaaaay too into them. Everything is about stories from when they were in college… 3. I actually liked the music! It sounds good! But I can’t f’ing understand the lyrics because he slurs his words and mumbles! ENUNCIATE, please!

I always like Fiona Apple, but always forget about her. Once it’s on, it’s like, “oh yeah she’s great,” then I don’t think about it anymore when the listen is done. Maybe just too soft and moody, I have to be in the right spot to listen to.

I saw the 11 minute opener and about rolled my eyes….but quickly realized it was something magical and amazing! The whole album was WOW! Everyone knows the hits but I realized I had never actually listened to Elton John. And I absolutely have a new favorite.

Maybe it was because I was coming down off an Elton John high from the day before, but this was sooooo boring! It was painful to finish. Just soft and slow and every song is the same. It deserves to be played as background music in a spa, and that’s being generous.
