This was not my cup of tea at all. The songs were so unnecessarily long and felt like the song form of a man rambling on and on. The only song I remotely liked was the rose one with Kylie Minogue. I couldn’t wait for the album to be over.

The start of the album was jarring. I immediately disliked it and wasn’t looking forward to the rest. The rest except the ending was okay however. It was tolerable but sounded a little repetitive among some songs. I don’t think I would listen again but I’m glad I listened this one time.

Adele’s vocal ability and talent is extraordinary. For the most part, I enjoy this album. I remember the appraise and critical acclaim when it came out. Rolling in the Deep is an amazing album opener. I really love Rumour Has It and Set Fire to the Rain. They’re upbeat and fun despite being about a relationship breaking down. Someone Like You is iconic in British pop culture. I’ll Be Waiting was good track. I enjoyed Adele’s different approach to Lovesong, a classic from The Cure. However, I didn’t care for the other songs on the album. They felt desperately sad and seemingly endless and slightly repetitive. My personal preference is much more towards songs that are upbeat. I don’t mind a few love songs in one go but this album had too many for my liking. All in all, I can see why this album is here. It’s a classic.

This really sucked. I had 1 minute left on Religion II and skipped onto the next song because at that point I thought the point had been truly hammered home. I can normally tolerate albums I don’t like but for the first time on this project I had to fast forward on some tracks after a couple minutes of listening to them.

Delighted I finally got a Nirvana album. I assumed at least Nevermind would appear on here at some point so it was a joy to see In Utero was on here. I’ve loved their music for years but it’s been a little while since I’ve listened to In Utero fully and in the album order. It took me straight back to the first time I listened and the range of emotions it gave me. I feel so energised and vibrant when I listen.

I found it quite nice, easy listening. I liked the concept. Felt that it fell a little bit flat and got a bit boring/didn’t have my attention the whole time listening.
