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 to 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
