intersting start - the child crying is distressing. i like the wind chime/water sound; and the airy otherworldly clock and whooshy sounds...
prooving to be pleasant to listen to.
not my usual style, but i like the grooviness & the general relaxed mood.
pretty neutral. i like the album, but not my favorite or least favorite. also very possible i'm swayed by Brett.
There are some things I like - there’s a lot of variety in the album, pure sounding voice, but sometimes it just sounded like noise. Initially I thought I was listening to The Beach Boys again! But it’s different, and overall I’m liking it.
I know I’m being influenced by Brett’s opinion, but this album isn’t that good. It is some sounds from The Beach Boys that I like (upbeat and funky) but it’s overall erratic. There’s one song that has emergency vehicle sounds in the background - who wants to listen to that!?
I like the beginning, jazzy and smooth. i actually like the whole album so far. nice smooth voice. relaxing.
Reminds me of the Beatles; I like the rock vocal harmonies. I don’t love the angst, but I do like a similar angst in the Beatles … maybe that has to do with time of life?
A little chaotic for what I want right now, but some cool musicality
I’m thinking a 4, relaxed, good for background.
I give it a 2
I’m not sure I love his voice; the background is funky, and kind of unsettling. I like the cymbal…
This first songs gs a kind of anticipation/anxiety about it that doesn’t feel like easy listening
I do like the “ungh” in his voice occasionally though ….
Second song still has angsty feel
Still don’t love the third song. I like the background and the musicality, but it feels like he’s just talking over it without much musicality in his voice, which I don’t love.
I like it - it's relaxing background; musical;
there's interest and not too much chaos.
the balance of voice to instrumentation is interesting; i feel like the instruments are more forward (or at least in this song) and i think that helps contribute to the "peaceful" feeling.
the voices aren't as inspiring/to my taste as some, but at a high level, I'm a fan. I think 4 - I like it (not neutral), and not blown away.
here's what I think my rankings are:
1 - actively strongly dislike
2 - actively dislike
3 - neutral
4 - actively like
5 - love
among all these things there are different elements that I may like or dislike, so the number rating will be an overall impression. as i keep listening, i may be able to distill categories of what i start paying attention to. some categories i may consider:
- vocal quality (do I like or dislike the voices? and what do i like or dislike about them)?
- instrumental quality (some things i've liked so far are interesting/tight harmonies, intricacy of patterns, unexpected or harmonious movement of instruments together, either in melody/harmony or in rhythm)
- tone or subject matter (major, minor)
- degree of chaos vs. harmoniousness
I don't like the vocal style. i also don't like the chaos or the grittiness of the background. it does feel very creative, but not a huge fan.
So far, i don't really like it. The jazziness is fun, but it feels repetitive and kind of old...
i like the spunkiness/jazziness
interesting baseline
sound quality is kind of fuzzy
so far i like it
really hard rock opening - not my favorite style, but it does grab your attention right from the beginning
i like it more than I think i would!
4
a 3 so far, i like it, but it's not the greatest; felt kinda Whitney, but I like the music and their voices. Hard to take as a whole album.
