Cleopatra

An inoffensive stomp-clap folk album that sounds like every other inoffensive stomp-clap folk album. The first couple of songs are pretty good - the opener is quite expansive and varied while the big single Ophelia is very catchy - but there’s nothing of note later in the tracklist. Not a dreadful album, just a quite boring one, and sometimes that’s worse

I can’t diss them too much since Neyla Pekarek went to the same college as my brother and I and their hit song came out while we were at that college. I was never a huge fan beyond the one song and this album didn’t change my mind. I would have loved a cleopatra theme to this album but it didn’t feel like that at all which was a bummer.

Pretty good

Uh this genre sucks

If you were a white 20-something hipster boy with main character syndrome in the mid to late aughts, this was your schtick. If you were a white 20-something hipster "manic pixie dream girl" this was your crack.

Background music for a teen drama 2.4

Not my taste

I'll take The Fleet Foxes or Bon Iver for this sort of indie-folk thing.

There are nice melodies in here, especially bookending, which is to say that the real "in: falls limp. Neither spirited nor reaches out to mine.

Ophelia is a fucking stupid pile of shit. The Lumineers is one of those stomp clap hey bands that made the middle 2010 unbearable to listen to the radio. That fucking sucked.

Man this was so bad and so tough to get through. Seems like music perfect for shopping while in a Target or some bullshit like that.

I associate this sort of clap hey folk revivalist shite with modern day nazis and the mentally subnormal who want music like it was before black people. In short, I longed for tinnitus over this.

I dont know where to begin other than I cannot stand The Lumineers and this kind of music in general. It rubs me me the wrong way. I have a hard time hating on the user submitted albums as I recognize that whoever did submit it likes it very much and it's probably special to them on some level, but I just find this so offputting.

Oh good, more folky garbage. lol @ calling it "stomp clap hey ho" hipster music. It sure is. 1/5.
