I can see the appeal but it’s just really not my type of music tbh. 37/100

You definitely have to be in a specific kind of mood for this album I feel, as a lot of it is very chilled. I really like the vocals, his tone is very satisfying. I do think that depending on the day I could either rate this album higher or lower, as I said have to be in the mood for it but I do think it has the potential to grow on me. So on first listen this is my rating but I definitely will revisit some of the songs if not all and it could change!. I listened to the majority of this while studying and it wasn’t distracting which is good, but it meant I didn’t pay too much attention to the lyrics, just the overall vibe, so as I said my opinion could likely change drastically after a while with this one. 66/100

Definitely my favourite so far. Similarly to the previous album (REM) I listened to it while studying so I didn’t pay as much attention as I would normally, therefore my first listening opinions probably aren’t fully accurate. I really like the vibe of the whole album and although my score might not seem to reflect it, I think that again, over time my score will increase. Definitely something I see myself revisiting. So for now, 74/100

Seen them live before so it was nice to familiarise myself with the whole album and not just the two popular songs I’ve already heard. I liked it. Again, not really my type of music. I’m very much a lyrics person and I feel like just with the volume of the instruments it didn’t give me a chance to get into it. But I still liked the overall sound of the album. 62/100

Pleasantly surprised by this !! I of course knew Mr. Blue Sky and thought that the rest of the album was probably going to be bad in comparison but it didn’t let me down. I really liked the sound ! And I think the songs have potential to grow on me even more with future listens and looking into the lyrics more. It was a very long album though and a lot of the songs were kind of the same vibe so unsure if I would listen to it again start to finish but you never know ! I feel like I’m being maybe too harsh with the scoring but it’s possibly because I know there are so many more albums to go and I haven’t had any song so far that I’ve wanted to add to my ‘Songs I wish I wrote’ playlist yet 72/100

Started off strong with two songs I was very familiar with and absolutely love ! Unfortunately for me, the rest of the album didn’t really live up to expectations based on the first two tracks. Don’t get me wrong it was still good and I still very much enjoyed it. I do feel that there’s a reason why those two songs were the only ones I’d heard from the album! 73/100

This was my first experience listening to Fiona Apple. To be honest I just don’t think she’s really my vibe. She gives off a kind of eccentric energy that I don’t think is my style. I liked some of the songs quite a lot but the majority of them made me feel weirdly unsettled. I don’t know if it was her voice or just the way she was singing the songs but idk. Still not terrible but I can’t see myself revisiting or being too excited to listen to her other albums in the future. 56/100

I had high hopes going into this one. I already know The Scientist and Clocks and I’m very fond of those songs. I’ve also seen Coldplay live and considering the fact that I wouldn’t call myself a big fan, the concert was amazing and I really do enjoy their music. I was unfamiliar with the rest of the songs on this album but after first listen I really liked almost all of them. This album didn’t disappoint. Very chill though, not many upbeat tracks but still very enjoyable. I think it’s possible that I may either rate this slightly or higher in the future, as I again didn’t properly digest, I just went off of kinda my subconscious vibes. 80/100

Just not my vibe tbh 57/100

It was grand, could’ve rated it higher but like 3 of the songs were basically just instrumentals, and as I said big lyrics gal. Still overall liked the sound. 61/100

already listened to this one last year and hated it to be honest lol. I’ve genuinely never felt scared or creeped out when listening to music until this. Like maybe I don’t get it but it freaked me out. 5/100

I already knew I would love this album just based off of River being the only song I knew before listening to it. Currently my highest rated album ever, according to AOTY. 91/100
