Rated 4/10

Want one more like want none

Rated 6/10

Haven’t heard him before that I remember. Some of it is ok but mostly it’s just boring to me.

Rated 6/10

Was really good, just didn't really wow me either. Kinda like an OK Computer era Radiohead if they mixed in Billy Joel influence?

Rated 6/10

Honestly, Want One actually was fairly solid and a fair bit better than i was expecting. I feel that a majority of the songs on this album would probably feel right at home in a romance movie or in some cases, even a musical (i would have expected to fit a medieval movie especially considering the album art but that apparently refused to happen). The theatrical instruments did sound pretty alright here and fit the themes of the songs pretty well. Rufus' voice was also pretty good as well. I do feel that the songs do sound a bit samey but other than that, this album does it's job and then some.
Best Song: Movies Of Myself
Worst Song: I Don't Know What It Is

Rated 8/10

Very similar to Want Two which I've already heard through this list. They definitely feel like two parts of a single album to me.
