I love how experimental and silly this album is. Solsbury Hill honestly comes out of nowhere with how mainstream it is. -Moribund the Burgermeister was so immediately captivating to me, love songs like this -tuba in excuse me!! -full orchestra in down the dolce vita??

Some weird vocal stuff throughout but cool guitars. Plateau had lyrics that I remembered the most, teenager one was artsy with symbolism. Overall pleasant experience, probably wouldn’t listen down again though.

listened to half, very listenable and even pleasant. Cool harmonies, would listen to some again

solid consistent vibe, lots of lyrics for the mood I am in

Before listening to anything I am excited about this because there is a book I read forever ago (cannot remember the name) where an astronaut on a long space mission used Talking Heads albums to remember her humanity. This man's voice is so ridiculous but I think I love it. I enjoy the layers of instrumentation, there's always an interesting bass line or percussion fill to focus on.

Off the bat, realizing I still have some negative emotion towards seven nation army and the amount of times we played it in pep band... so much 6 to 1. Quite grungy, there was a point in my life that I would have had this on repeat. As it stands now, I wouldn't be mad if someone queued songs but I would not be the person doing the queuing. I did appreciate the more unique/bluesy instrumentation. The last song was so cute and unexpected, very campy.

I only knew orange crush going into it which was a good omen given its heater status. I was surprised at the presence of the mandolin, a rhythm mandolin line is always going to make me enjoy a song more. The singer's voice has such a unique tone, it lends itself well to the style they have going on. A solid album all around, as a whole not unique enough for a 5.

I was not expecting to know multiple songs on this album. Similarly to Speakerboxxx/Love below, there is a lot of cool instrumentation and little details. It was slightly less listenable for me with all the funny interludes. Some highlights: -Kim and Cookie surprising highlight for me, love the horns, bird noises and girl chorus -Rhythms in humble mumble are outstanding -Some nice bass on Toilet Tisha

This album was a surprise hit for me. I had heard of Jeff Buckley and didn't know why until I hit "Hallelujah" and by then there had been plenty of other hits. I really enjoyed the engaging guitar lines sprinkled throughout. Multiple songs had an almost formulaic build in layering and intensity that didn't necessarily detract from the song, ex Mojo Pin. Almost a 5... -MEH ON "LILAC WINE", SUDO JAZZ BALLAD WITH THE BRUSHES -"Hallelujah" LOVE SHREK, THE ONLY SONG WHOSE CHORDS I STILL HAVE MEMORIZED ON GUITAR, unfortunately I think it draws on a bit longer than it needs to, hearing "hallelujah" 24 more times doesn't add to the song for me. -"Lover, You Should Have Come Over" is a lovely ballad that wasn't really on my radar, awesome choir arrangements towards the end -vibe shift crazy between "corpus christi" and "eternal life" -"forget her", organ!

Definitely expanding my music horizons. I enjoyed the water sounds in "Tides" and Carnatic melodies throughout the album. Nothing stood out enough to warrant a save for me, a tad too electronic. Bjork coded but not as engaging

I was bored. I found myself wanting to skip multiple songs, it was like I had heard it all before but done better by other bands.

They made a musical where the soundtrack was this album and that storyline/images from when I saw the production sways my vote up. This is the perfect angsty girl album for me, songs you have to sing from deep within you. Not super listenable in my day to day life as a whole

I'm a known Tom Petty denier because they overplay him on classic radio stations. However, when the first track started playing I was excited to have my mind changed, it was such an interesting composition compared to other things I heard from him. After that, it devolved into typical pop rock but I enjoyed more than expected

Conversely to the last album, I expected to like this more than I did. It ended up feeling like the same song for 40 min broken up by track 6/7/8 and some cool samples on "Time to Get Ill".

The album had a movie soundtrack feel to me. I thought they did a good job of adding/changing a layer right as the phrase was about to repeat too many times. Not something I would listen to again but I could appreciate it as a basis for the genre.

I was pretty surprised at the number of covers in there, six! Overall pleasant to listen to, not their most influential stuff yet. 3.5

I love folk sounds like this. There were so many interesting layers and the vocalist's tone was haunting.

Pretty generic pop-rock sound. It ended up being true background music for me.

Timeless! So many good songs on here, you can see why she is lauded as one of the best songwriters. I love the strength of just her voice with her playing piano and the build as more instrumentation is added.

silly song lengths. Overall inoffensive but nothing stood out

I love this version of Girl from Ipanema. Nice smooth sax, perfect for a nice dinner but not much listenability for me beyond that.

I liked the back half more than the first, it mellowed out a bit. Some of the screamier songs had me watching the clock for when they would be over. Could enjoy this situationally, would not listen to the whole album again

it took me until listening to a few songs back to back to realize that they are british... embarrassing! Very enjoyable album

yep, it's classic rock

too punk for this guy. I was watching the clock waiting for the end

This was lovely! Not what I expected based on the title and artist name. Reminded me a lot of Fairport Convention with different instrumentation. Minus points for having Sally Go Round the Roses on there THREE TIMES

I was expecting more from this as a whole tbh. Every song was just a bit longer and more repetitive than I wanted it to be, even some of the hits like Shout. Head Over Heels is so so good and the lead in from the song before was clean.

an album of jazz standards from a country artist?? no idea this could exist. It was a lovely collection. I enjoyed the addition of harmonic throughout the album. The whole thing is very nostalgic to me.

Inoffensive soft classic rock. Strength of strings was the only song that had me going to check the title. Won't be revisiting.

Pretty similar feelings to No Other. The use of brushes instead of sticks on some of the songs was interesting, lent itself to a fuzzy feel.

I could not take this seriously very silly lyrics and tone. I enjoyed a lot of the beats, there were unique tones in there.

Enjoyable! Very consistent vibe throughout the whole album.

I love the vocal harmonies going on. It also feels like they used an infinite number of instruments, almost every song had at least one weird couple bar inclusion that made even the simplest progression more interesting.

An album where I liked the back half more, pretty rare. The consistent theme was lovely along with the sick harmonies, very engaging.

this one grew on me. It was very easy to picture things happening, a smokey noir movie, a disney villain, REPO! the genetic opera... Jazz police will be heavily replayed

Classic americana rock. A very short album with distinctive sound

The fadeouts to end every song felt so abrupt. A lot of cool bell tones throughout. Started disliking more as it went on with how repetitive it all felt. Would have rated higher if I were roller skating

typical long boy jazz songs. Some good stuff in there but not something I would listen to regularly

very different than his first album, reminds me of simon and garfunkel but with less instrumentation going on. Love the sneaky bagpipes and general upbeat turn in so long, marianne. Another highlight was the aca and digeridoo moments in hey that's no way to say goodbye
