Come Away With Me
Norah Jones
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.

It's Blitz!
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
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.

Michael Jackson
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.

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.
