Caught me listening to the words in a way rock often fails to. 4.

Disjointed, warbly, inconsistent. Jazz backing is musically effective, but the vocal performance does not track well. Lyrics forgettable. 2.

Compelling sound, at risk of becoming repetitive. Some memorable lyrics. Well synced range of instruments. No Cars Go favourite track. 3.

Very classic rock, enjoyable, though became repetitive towards the end. 3.

Eerie vibe, fell into the rhythm as the album progressed, though no particular highs at first. Glory Box achieves that peak, perhaps too late. Worth another listen. 3.

Heavy. Sometimes too heavy. Catchy in an (un/)enjoyable way. 2.5.

Tried to like it. Not for me. 2.

Varied, refreshing and catchy. 4.

Only grabbed me towards the end. 3.

Turns out proto punk is not for me. 2.

Enjoyed the folk influences more than the core rock sound. 3.

First hidden gem feeling. preferred the softer tracks. 3.5.

An instructive process in teaching me I may not like alt rock very much.

Enjoyable and varied sound. 4.

I didn't enjoy the voices in tandem, which is quite the issue for a duet. 2.

Listened on a hike - strangely therapeutic. 4.

Fun moments, very enjoyable. 4.

Nothing objectively bad, but I find that style of 80s sound tiring. 3.

Dreary. 2

Enjoyed more than I thought I would. 3.

Dragged on a tad, slightly too aimless for me. 3.

Solid 3. Nothing much to say.

Quite something for a debut, but not for me. 3.

Caught me listening to the words in a way rock often fails to. 4.

Would have been a 2, but I enjoyed the solo at the end. 3.

I forgot about it by the next morning. 2.

I could see it growing on me. 3.

Too unintelligible to stick to the narrative thread. 2

Musicals energy (I sadly don't like musicals). 2.

Shame about what happened after, but an undisputed classic. 5.

Enjoyable, zero pretence. 4.

Debated this one, but enough variety/significance to push through. 4.

No jams for me. 2.

Technically impressive, but there's only so much I can enjoy instrumentals. 3.

Delivery can be grating, but iconic nonetheless. 4.

Easily distracted, pleasant sound. 3.

Made me realise I'd been confusing the red hot chilli peppers and black eyed peas for an embarrassing amount of time... 3.

Good variety - some rogue moments towards the end. 3.

Fun and novel. 3.

Cacophonous and long. 2.

Moving, but not for me. 3.

Surprisingly enjoyable. 4.

Rambling. 2.

I already had two songs saved from the album, but listening to the whole was slightly less enjoyable. 3.

Guilty pleasure album. 4.

Clearly talented and deserved recognition. Some repetitive flow otherwise a 5.
