Adele
For an adult contemporary album, a notoriously terrible genre, this one stands out among its peers. Consistent tracklisting with a strong vocal performance throughout, Adele makes this typically mundane and sappy genre impactful. If an album has of quality equal to Rumor Has It, Rolling in the Deep, Set Fire to the Rain, and Someone Like You than you know it is at lease something special. Beyond that I have a soft spot for the Lovesong, One and Only and Turning Tables.
It isn't the greatest album in the world and can sometimes become extremely sappy and drag but overall its a fun time. I recommend it!
2.5/5 (which may seem low but 2.5 is average in my rating system.)

It's cool, it's soulful (obviously), it's 70s and it is a relaxing time. Too bad the songs individually did not stick out that much to me. Overall decent but nothing mindblowing.
2.5/5

Y’know that one buzz lightyear meme where they’re all on the shelf as identical copies of eachother? That’s every blues band, and this album and band are no exception. If you like blues noodling with the most generic “I’m a man you’re a woman let’s have sex”-type lyricism then maybe this album is for you but otherwise just avoid this schlock. The last 5 songs in particular suck particularly hard, I guess the hits are passable.

Crowded House
Man idk about this one. On one hand, its overly sachrine and sappy and none of the songs hook you. There is almost a nostalgic warm feeling and theyre so close to capturing something special but they never quite get there. The songs are flat the production is overly clean and ther lyricism is pretty poo. Whatever idk
1.5/5

Smash
The Offspring
Well this was better than expected! Lotta pop punk ragers on the first half of this bad boy, too bad it falls off after the big heavy hitters but the songs arent bad, they just arent as good. And yeah the heavy hitters, self esteem and come out and play are pop/skate punk alltimers.
3.5/5

Yeah its a 70s prog album, very soft and fun, nothing too special in the genre. Compare it to the heavy hitters like KC or PF this aint anything but on its own its enjoyable. First two songs are slappers tho
3.5/5
