I don’t like this. Sounds like a heavy metal musical. This is disgusting. I hate that I like the music. But the singing and the lyrics are terrible. I mean, he’s got a good voice obviously, but it’s sounds like it’s more fit for a broadway musical. Maybe that’s his secret dream. He’s pressured into this heavy demon stuff, when really all he wants is to play in hamilton. To me, it’s not very interesting. Boring in fact. There’s nothing to talk about. Just the same shite again and again. Like I get it, devils and despair and whatever. I mean, if you’re into that stuff I’m sure this album is great. But if you’re not, this album is the equivalent of listening to a really religious and christian album. But just the opposite. And the guitar is good but the singing. The lyrics. All the songs could be demos of the same song. Okay, that’s exaggerating it of course, but I’m trying to make a point here. I’m not saying I hate it. Some songs are catchy. And maybe I’m just not in the right state of mind to be listening to this. But thats the thing, I feel like such a strong and angry and aggressive album should be able to force you into the right state of mind. Anyway, it’s okay. I must say the music, despite all the songs sounding similar, is good. Those riffs do get me a little riled up. But the singing almost makes me cringe. But I can get behind what they’re about. I just think it’s silly. This last song? Hello? By far the best track on the album. Finally I received what they were trying to deliver this whole time. I don’t know what it is about this song that got me going. I feel like if I listened to this a couple more times, It’d grow on me. The thing about this album is, I don’t think it’s crap. It’s just… not my style I guess. I can’t find it in me to resonate with this album. And yeah, I thought some of the lyrics were corny, and I found myself wishing there were more parts where the singer would shut up. But honestly, I’m okay with just letting this album be. I don’t have to like or dislike it. I don’t have to get it. I’m glad I listened to it. I definitely appreciate this albums intention and impact. But since I have to rate it based on how much I enjoyed it, I’ll have to give it two stars.

Can there be too much groove? If this album is your perception of groove, the answer is no. No, there cannot be too much groove. In fact there could be more groove in place of that god awful ballad. Ballads always put me off pop singers. Lyrics are just too cringy. It’s better when the lyrics are just nonsense about partying and dancing and sex with a cool bass line and good beat. But this album over all was pretty good. I liked it. The songs were pretty interesting, and not too similar to each other. Most of the lyrics were just the right amount of cliche to not be annoyed by it and just let yourself enjoy it. And it gave me a better image of Michael Jackson. He’s a funky guy, but still, a bit of a cheesemunk.

Not very interesting. I don’t specifically dislike it. And I can’t pinpoint exactly what it is that makes me unsure of this album. It’s just nothing special to me. It’s something I could dance to if it was playing at a party, for sure. But it’s not something I consider to be of any significance in the world. It’s like filler music. It just exists for the sake of existing. I don’t know why it has been put on this list. It’s honestly exactly what I expected from a 2010 indie rock album with a cover like that. And I must say, the name of the album is very suiting. The songs are quite suburban. Anyway, I knew before listening to this album that 2010’s indie isn’t for me. After listening to this album, I’ve realised I just don’t think male vocals suit it. I don’t know what it is but to me, a woman’s voice fits indie way better. I can’t explain it. It just does. If this whole album was sung by the woman, I would have liked it a lot more. Favourite track was definitely Sprawl || (Mountains Beyond Mountains). Overall, I thought this album had nice instrumentals and I definitely liked the female vocals a lot. Like I said, definitely something I could dance to. Otherwise it was pretty uninteresting.

Makes me want to do something stupidly nonsensical and reckless. I can feel a lust for life growing in me. It’s making my heart explode. My head is exploding. I’m gonna go out on the street and do anything I want! I’m gonna do the twist! I’m gonna hop like a frog! Exactly how this album made me feel. My favourite tracks were Success and Sixteen. Easily a four star album.I can say I officially have a lust for life.

Bleh. Didn’t like Elton John before, nothing changed. To be fair, I didn’t even try to be open minded, but I really don’t care what I’m missing out on by not liking this album. Nothing very exciting anyway.

I wish I liked your music more, Bob. Because you’re really cool. But it’s just not my style. I find his sort of rambling singing style endearing though. He’s just saying what he wants. I like that. But this isn’t something I’d listen to again. But I feel bad because this album isn’t something that should be critiqued and rated. It’s just something someone made cus they wanted to. It’s a showcase of pure messy and nonsense humanness. I don’t think Bobs intention was to make a musically genius and outstanding album. He just made it because he liked making it. And the fact that that pure unconditional need to pour your true soul into something, without worrying whether or not the outcome is conventional and meets expectations shines through his songs is reason enough to give this album three stars. But because I want to stick to my rating system of rating these albums based on how much I enjoyed them — this is getting two stars. Sorry Bob.

I’m offended by this album. I don’t know why, I just am. I’m offended that he came to the conclusion that this piece of shit should be out there for us all to listen. This doesn’t contribute to society in any way, quite the opposite. I’d bet all my money that this album has brought more negative feelings than positive ones in general. I pity my fellow unfortunate souls who have had the unlucky fate of hearing this humdrum album. A tedious journey. Listening to this makes you feel like you’re in an empty locked room with only Justin Timberlake performing and flaunting and dancing really close to you. And you just have to sit there and watch, utterly terrified. For an hour and three minutes straight.

Passionately sentimental I had a bit of a weird day today but listening to this album made it worth while

I’m not a huge fan of folk music but this isn’t so bad. Not something I’d give a second listen to though. It’s light and airy, easy to listen to. And that last track is almost spooky but melancholic, I like it. I want to give it three stars but... fuck it I’ll give ‘em three.

I really don’t like this. First of all, it’s way too long. I could grow a beard listening to this and I’m a woman. Too many tracks that are too similar for each one to be this long. And I’m not against long songs. But there’s nothing interesting about these ones, they tire you out. If I were to listen to a singular song at random from this album, there’s a good chance I would give it three stars. But put together this just can’t reach three stars for me. I suppose it’s catchy but it’s awfully tacky. It’s what I imagine the 80s in America to be like. Except they’re english. Shit.

Ok? This guys music is called revolutionary. I’m not denying it. If I was in the right timeline and setting I’m sure this would be great. But from where I’m sitting, it’s comically irrelevant. Anyway, it made me chuckle.

There’s nothing wrong with it I suppose. I appreciate this genre in a way… but the other half of me is saying this is pretty crap. I’m not a fan of mindless vocalising over a beat. And that’s what a lot of this is. There’s parts that make me wanna dance and there’s parts that make me want to turn this off. Not for me.

Pretty cool

Second Simon & Garfunkel album this week. I didn’t think much of them after the first one to be honest. But holy moly this album hit me somewhere I’d been craving to be hit. I don’t think I’ve ever felt this understood after listening to an album. First album out of this project so far that has made me cry. I loved it.

I like it. I bet she had men swooning. It’s powerful and romantic and it’s great. It’s catchy and classy. It makes love and emotions seem like quite a simple and brilliant thing. One day when I’m hopelessly in love, I’ll listen to this. God, I’ll never get tired of love songs.

There’s parts and songs that I really like, Raised on Robbery and Help Me for instance. But there’s some songs that, if they were to appeal to me, they’d have to be a little more interesting. But still, I quite liked this. She’s incredibly talented and her lyrics are undeniably inspiring. I feel like this album does what it’s meant to do. It’s jazzy, it’s warm, it’s inspirational. But it didn’t give me enough feeling to give it four stars. So three it is.

I feel like you either appreciate this album deeply or you don’t. I do. I really do.

Nice work kinks

“Oh oh Kanye West is the best rapper oh my, Knaye is a god oh his music is amazing oh oh oh blah blah blah I’m an idiot”

For a while, I couldn’t decide if I liked this or not. But I’ve decided I do.

They were all filler songs

Easy going and quite magical. Not super duoer mind blowing though.

I liked Return To Heaven and I against I. Nothing else really stood out amongst each other. But it’s good enough to reach three stars.

First of all… Fiddle… about…? You know what, I have to be honest. I don’t like it. There. I said it. I don’t know what they were going for but they did not succeed in my ears. I kind of liked Sally Simpson and Welcome. Kind of. I really wanted to like The Who but this was overall shite.

I love this masterpiece amazing beautiful product of love

Holy god this gets tiring early on

I’ll be honest, I didn’t pay that much attention while listening. But it was pretty good from what I remember.

I like it. It’s unusual and loud. But it actually makes you feel something when listening to it. That’s pretty special. I feel like there’s so many similar albums that have tried so hard to achieve the meaning and sense of direction that this album has, that have simply just created a meaningless mess of melodies they haven’t bothered to turn into a proper song and stupid spat out lyrics and titles that are trying to make them seem poetical and listening to them just annoys you. But this album is good.

How am I supposed to not like this?

Pretty darn good if you ask me

I loved it

Oh I heïed it through the grapevines

I mean it’s very different from anything I’ve listened to before. But honestly, I was hoping it would’ve opened some portal to another dimension or at least to inner peace or something like that. But it was still an interesting listening experience I suppose. I must say, I was kind of relieved by the end of it. Only because it got tiring how similar the songs sounded, especially to me since I can’t understand what he’s blabbering about so all that stood out was that moaning that sounded like an untuned violin.

This made my eyes roll to the back of my head in pleasure. I like it not only because it mixes hip hop with soul and rock, but because the rap lyrics are more than what usually puts me off hip hop. Instead of the vapid lyrics about money and fame and women and getting your cock sucked and how rough your life has been and how great you are for surviving it and all that crap, it’s more from the heart, it’s passionate but in a cool way. And I bloody love it.
