Shoegazing pish

That was really boring. 1 star.

I didn't care about it

droning singer songwriter strum along wank NNN

No comment.

Didn’t really like it. Too soft for my liking. The best song was the cover of “Because”

Dreary

Nicht mein Geschmack.

dreadfully dull. hard skip.

If the best song I'll ever hear is in the back half of this album and I never hear it because I refused to keep listening, that's fine with me. Plonky piano music seemingly designed to be put on the mix CD a high school boy who got dumped will slip into the locker of the girl who said she never wanted to hear from him again.

2000s male indie is the worst genre ever I fear

Boring

Not really a big fan of this. The lyrics seem very simple and repetitive, nothing really innovative or ground breaking. First album I have been glad to be done with.

Really didn't care for the music. Not a big fan of the whispery vocal delivery he uses. Felt it buried the lyrics. Junk Bond Trader was the only song that I found interesting--- Maybe Easy Way Out. Otherwise hard pass. Couldn't get through he whole thing.

Just a bit too whiney for me

Indie nonsense

I did not really like the lead singer's voice. 1/5

Uskomattoman tylsä. Ei jaksa kuunnella loppuun asti. En ymmärrä miksi tällaista edes tehdään.

Didn’t finish album. Found it boring. The vocals were too soft and I wasn’t a fan of the singing

DK // I really really tried to get into this album but I can’t get over how much I dislike his voice and even worse his haircut in that cover photo lol. Favourite track I guess Everything Reminds Me of Her. Rating - 1/5

Don't know how I feel about this one

Nul de fou ! De la folk sans sucre la

Another swing and a miss. Didn’t even finish the album it was so bad.

Some of these albums have e left me questioning the nature of this site. Is this a social experiment? Am I being tested or tricked in some fashion? But then I see the listen count on Spotify, and I realize that it might be my taste that is the outlier. Whatever the reason, I seem to be wearing thin on patience while trying to locate the beauty in mediocre music.

Não gostei AHAHAHA

Not my favourite, and i didn't make it through the whole album. The band seemed to struggle with what genre they wanted to be and, to my mind anyway, just seemed to be a blandish version of each.

The worst

so whiney

pretty mid 3/10

? Not my music

No bueno

Downbeat.

Not a fan whatsoever.

yada yada

forgettable

Very Badly Drawn Boy

Really don't like this sound of music. Singing voice is jarring and doesn't match the acoustic feel in my opinion.

nothing interesting...

Did not enjoy.

Not a fan…..

Making the same mistake, ad nauseam. An entirely blank greeting card. Ennui. So very sad. Seemingly, so very little wisdom gained, or shared, from the experience. There’s the blues- that’s one thing, a wholly other thing. I would title this genre, the grays. Sorrow as an end to itself. Elliott Smith died at 34 of self-inflicted stab wounds following a row with his girlfriend, compounded by substance abuse. This recording feels very wrong, and I don’t ever want to hear it again.

Algo plano para mi gusto.

Jesus Christ

Фигня

harsh and what felt like unpolished first two tracks turned me off!

Meh...
