Nice and mellow tunes for lounging around. Felt like something I'd hear in an old bookstore or a trendy coffee joint. As an album came off as one-note to me. It felt as if I could have dipped into any song and gotten roughly the same experience, barring the openings. However, it felt as if the emotional tones shifted from down to up between the first and the last songs, ending with epilogue vibes in 'The Nearness of You.' Casual observation: I think it was 'I've Got To See You Again' that layered her voice for an interesting effect.

Groovy. The album was a trail mix experience. Some songs seemed to follow a standard pattern, whereas some were surprises like Run Through the Jungle. Overall sounds like something I'd blast while on the road with the boys or while energetically cleaning my apartment on an otherwise lazy Sunday morning.

Interesting experience.

This one felt like more a product of its time, I think. A blast of 00's vibes to send out that decade, I suppose. For a bit of horizontal commentary, it's starting to sound like many of these albums follow similar emotional (Musical? Narrative?) arcs, starting upwards and finishing downwards. Casual observation: Note the similar vibes in the first (Zero) and the last (Faces?) song.

I think this is the first time I've actively listened to MJ. Pretty good bops overall. Felt like I had heard half of the songs via osmosis. Got the impression that the album is carried by the classic hits everybody knows. Nevertheless, the overall experience averaged out to something I could see myself adding to a suitably bop-y playlist.

Far out, man. Felt like something I could vibe to while having a drinking during a stormy winter evening. Not my vibe for the rest of the year, though.

Some golden oldies, alright.

Not my vibe but, as the kids would say, it sounded like straight fire. Am I "gangsta" now?

Did not expect to vibe to this as much as I did given that I only know this man from memes, meltdowns, and South Park. Shout-out to the school spirit skits. My degrees will SURELY keep me warm when I'm dead!

Although I appreciate the simplicity and low-key vibes, 'whinging' is the word that springs to mind.

Quite the time capsule we've got going on here. Had some "funky fresh beats" but not something I'd consider everyday listening.

I'll go out on a limb and drop a five on this one. Couldn't make up my mind when I listened to it last Friday. Listening to it again today made me realize that I'm vibing all throughout without getting fed up by the end, unlike otherwise good albums I've rolled so far. Actually, I'm finding myself replaying this one. If that ain't a five in my entirely subjective and horrible opinion, then I don't know what is.

Not dissing the bars and all but did not find it to be easy listening back to back. There were a few standouts, like 'Back like that', however.

\m/

Goodness, feels like I listened to the album equivalent of a classic novel. 5/5 for the artistry, at least. As for personal enjoyment, I don't think I can fully appreciate the experience here unless I revisit this album and pay attention to the whole thing. Not really something to leave running in the background.

Certainly "creative", got some experimental vibes going for it. However, the overall result was a listening experience about as smooth as sandpaper. 'Jack-Ass' was a pretty nice listen, though.

Happy to have listened to a seminal album and all but I do not wish to hear it again.

Started off strong but was a roller coaster of highs and lows overall.

Had a few tracks that might stick with me but the others were kind of a drag.

Pretty high energy overall. I could see myself enjoying some track occasionally but a whole album at once was a bit much.

Lo-fi electronic beats to game/hack/write papers to.

Pleasant listening but a bit too much of a good thing when all the tracks come at you back-to-back.

Retro radio vibes.

Easy listening and a bit quirky. I don't think it will stick in my mind for very long, however.

Pleasant performances but quite same-y when heard back-to-back. Probably carries more weight if you belong to the folk of these songs.

Pleasant performances all throughout, although very same-y in this quantity. However, putting a collection like this on a list of albums was like putting a boxed set of all seasons of a TV show on a list of movies.

Can't say I get it, whatever "it" is supposed to be.
