Rated 6/10
Very much not for me, but I can appreciate why people like it and wanted it added.
Rated 10/10
Gorgeous, melodically, and harmonically perfect, poignant diverse and fascinating.
Rated 6/10
Tykkäsin, mutta olen kuullut parempiakin tämän tyyppisiä indie-esityksiä.
Rated 8/10
I haven't thought about Final Fantasy in a hot minute. I was a big fan back in the day and after listening to this I think it's really held up well. The violin is gorgeous.
Rated 4/10
Don't be fooled. This is just indie with violins....
Favourite songs: This is the Dream of Win & Regine, You Took Two Years to Win My Heart
Least favourite songs: Furniture, Better Than Worse

Rated 6/10
Not bad, but not brilliant either. It felt musically weak in places, even though I'm sure he's classically trained and completely brilliant.
Rated 5/10
So of course I saw that artist name and immediately thought I'd be getting the ELP-inspired synths. Instead, it's like elevated string quartet-style stuff. Not bad.
Rated 8/10
I only know Owen Pallett (Final Fantasy) by name because of the soundtrack for the movie Her, which he did with Arcade Fire. Because of that, I was worried this would sound like Arcade Fire, a band I don't really get the hype for. However, this is really simple but pleasant chamber pop, and has some really fantastic pop tunes near the end to keep the energy going throughout. I think if that variation was more consistently woven into this album this could be really great, but it is still very good nonetheless.
Rated 6/10
Really enjoyed the violin but by the end of the album his vocals just grated on me. Somewhere between a 2 and a 3. It’s different enough for me to give it a 3.
Rated 4/10
a selection of jaunty tunes for jaunty boys.
