Pretty good, displays a lot of the original kind of rockabilly country sound. Very cool to learn about the history behind this project. 4/5
Sounds like great classic rock perhaps a little ahead of its time, reminds me of early 80s/late 70s classic rock, piano work and overall composition is great. I was unaware of how good at guitar this band can be. Some songs sound kind of samey, Candle in the wind was repetitive and boring, but some songs are classics, bennie and the jets, goodbye yellow brick road are both great. Jamican jerk, sucked holy cow there are some greats and there are some stinkers. Seen that movie too is pretty good. This is starting to get quite repetitive towards the end.

2/5 so repetitive and boring after about 4 songs
pretty good, reminds me of the verve but if they were actually interesting, still just depressing early 2000s british whining at heart, but musically much more interesting across the board, 2.5/5 seems appropriate. Its good but not anything that makes me think about it once i am done. reading this bio, i realize he is not even british but his sound is the same regardless of place of origin.
Pretty good so far i would probably think 3/5 so far.

3.32/5
2.5/5 has a couple good spots but then loses me towards the end.

3.5/5
good funky disco sound I enjoyed this one quite a bit. It got a little repetitive at spots but was overall enjoyable.
so far sounds like coworker music. made it through about 4 songs and got bored out of my freaking mind. Music isnt bad its just all the same recycled cardboard. If i wanted to listen to someone whine at a barley audible whisper with no passion i would listen to my coworkers over this.
4.4/5
"Stardust" 7 good slower ballad style song.
"Georgia on My Mind" 6 good but almost too slow for me
"Blue Skies" 6.5 glad for a little more tempo on this one, a little more jazzy.
"All of Me" 8 this one is great, I like the organ in the background.
"Unchained Melody" 8.5
"September Song" 6.5
"On the Sunny Side of the Street" 7 kinda strange hearing willie jazz
"Moonlight in Vermont" 8
"Don't Get Around Much Anymore" 7 snazzy
"Someone to Watch Over Me 6.5 good but feels almost too slow to be a good closer for this album.
sounds like the most classic stereotypical country I could think of but i dont mean that in bad way, originally probably a 3.5/5 but due to dolly parton dying yesterday and the fact that she seemed like a genuinely good person I will round up 4/5.
"First We Take Manhattan" 6 fun super poppy 80s tune
"Ain't No Cure for Love" 5 ok but his voice dosnt really fit in some spots for this slower tune.
"Everybody Knows" 6 I like the subtle kinda spanish style guitar backing on this
"I'm Your Man" 5 kinda starting to get bored with this one.
"Take This Waltz" 4 sounds like a runescape plugin was used to make this song
"Jazz Police" 5 I fear with this one we have officially lost the plot. at least its kinda fun
"I Can't Forget" 4.5 tropical marimba? this was not what i expected following "jazz police" lol, i am ready for this ablum to be done.
"Tower of Song" 4 good song to listen to if i wanted to pregame napping.
"She Has Funny Cars" 5
"Somebody to Love" 8 great classic song
"My Best Friend" 6.5
"Today"6
"Comin' Back to Me" 5

good, 4/5
