Enjoyable listen, very different from music I usually tend to listen to. The compositions and overal sonic landscape of the record were mindblowingly good. I've always liked records that make extensive use of big orchestration and this album fits perfectly into that slot. One of my favorite takeaways of the record is that it actually sounds like an album, in the sense that everything seems to belong together and blends well, which considering its release date is quite unique. Let us also not forget how well Ella Fitzgerald's voice complements the sound of the record and how beautiful her voice is in general. It really allows the songs to come to life. Overall I enjoyed this record a lot, even considering its very long runtime of a good 3 hours, the soundspace and vocals were very endearing and catchy too and the simple and even often humurous lyrics make for an easy listen. The feeling of an album is also really present, which I liked. I'd give this record a solid 8.2/10.

A fun album, which was easy going. The record was very creative and had a fun mix of genres, such as hiphop, rock and jazzy elements even, making the sound patterns quite unique. However the formula for making music on this record is very repetitive and thus overall the record lacks a bit in artistical depth. I did however enjoy listening to this record as it was super easy to jam out to this record. I'd give Moby's Play a 6.7/10.

I appreciate the complexity of the album, it was an easy listen, but not very engaging in my opinion, some parts dragged on a lot, or there were long solos, which made the album much less excentric and expressive. Overall I appreciate the record, but it just isn't for me. I'd give this album a 4,7/10.

A very relaxed and mellow record. I enjoyed the overall sound of the album, but I'm not a big fan of the slow paced and randomness to the lyrical structures, for me the record misses a good flow. The songs do fit together well and the feel of an album is apparant, I like the conscious approach to writing music that Simon has and he manages to discuss important topics. Overall a fine album, which has an important message, but for me lacks in structure. Favorite song: Congratulations. Overall score: 6,1/10

A soft and easygoing album with an extremely strong message throughout. The less is more and acoustic approach is done phenomenal and perfectly fits the concept pf the record. I liked how the emphasis was on the vocals and the lyricism of the album making it all the more powerful. Near the end there was, for me, a slight dip in quality, but nevertheless the complete picture is rather excellent. Favorite song: across the lines. Overall score: 7.4_10

Oke of the best beatles albums, what's not to like. This record is surely the most mature album by the band in which they demonstrate some of the their greatest songwriting and production skills. The album has some of the best and most fun beatles songs, like something and here comes the sun, there is something for casual listeners and die-hard fans. The creative feat of the album remains the meddly, ehich has excellent flow and sound all throughout. Overall this is one of the best albums of all time and a favorite of mine. Favorite song: Something. Overall score: 9.4/10

conscious, fresh, creative, excellent loops and layering production is fresh swears not excessive: doesn't get in the way of the message powerful message chorus's creative --> If you only knew concsious --> one of them --> arrested development Creative and lyrically punchy. Power in numbers has an excelllent jazzy a groovy feel whilst maintaining a positove message. The conscious lyrics are great and the production is excellent, what I also like is that the swears aren't excessive or in the way of the message the record has. I thoroughly enjoyed the creativeness in the sampling and the groovy textures used making the record very danceable in a sense. The album does feel sloghtly inconsistent as the first half seems to have more punch than the latter half and the closer wasn't in my opinion a very strong ender. Favorite song: if you only knew. Overall score: 7.3/10

Mellow all over. I liked the sonic textures of the record, Martyn does an excellent job at conbining different genres of music into a complete whole, whilst the album still keeps its folk roots. The songwriting was good, but did become monotone sometimes, when the vocals are added. Overall I can appreciate the record but its not something that blew me away, it missed a certain power to it. Favorite song: Over the hill. Overal score: 6.9/10

Very good coherent piece, with hints of acts like the Smiths, which I quite enjoyed. The strange vocals and sadness in the lyrics where punchy en effective. Got nothinh mych more to say, overall a good indie record, but nothing particular that blew me away. Favorite track: Seeing other people. Overall score: 6.0/10 .

In my opinion one of the most meaningless albums I've heard, aside from one song there is nothing memorable about the record. Gangster rap in no way can revel other forms of hiphop and this is a good example of why. THe only thing I could enjoy was the production which was actually very good. Favorite track: Little Ghetto Boy. Overall score: 3.0/10

Enjoyable album overall, the production was quite unique and more rock oriented than records of the same period, which I liked, with outstanding singles like "everybody wants to rule the world", a classic. There was a certain unbalance between excellent songs, like the aforementioned and other tracks, making the album have a bit of filler material. In terms of 80's albums this one was enjoyable and a good listen overall. Favorite track: "everybody wants to rule the world". Overall score: 7.0/10

There's lots of energy in the album. And the pieces are a times very powerful and complex. These are sometimes followed by slow and parts that drag on however, however the technecality of the instrumentals was top notch and in terms of sound quite like king crimson and other prog acts. Overal the album was a great piece of live music, which in terms of momentum was a little unbalanced at times, but very enjoyable nonetheless. Favorite song: The Eleven. Overall score: 7.0/10

Enjoyable listen with fun songs and interesting covers. The record feels fresh and Willie does a great job at catching the emotions in the songs, like unchained melody, be it in a country style, which was great. The record does lack in originality, as the record is only made of covers. Nonetheless the new style make up for it and overall the album is just fun and relaxing to listen to. Favorite song: September song. Overall score: 7.2/10.

In terms of sound a very enjoyable listen, many different patterns and concepts which don't bore the listener. Nothing much more to say than that is was fun listen, but not something I'd pick up more. Favorite track: Sometimes. Overall score: 6.8/10

It was what it was. Overall score 5.0/10

I like this album better than most modern rock albums for its excellent integration of synths into the sound. The patterns and musical structures played out quite well. I did like the first half better than the second half, which made the record feel a little unbalanced at times. Overall I liked the album as is, but I don't see myself listening to this on a regular basis. Favorite song: Hail Bop. Overall score 7.4/10
